TS3276 Why am I getting someone else's email in icloud acct?

I am getting someone else's email at my icloud.com account . This person has same email as me. Emails are all UK based

It is most likely that they have either mistyped their address or have somehow got the notion that your address is actually their address (inexperienced people do sometimes do this sort of thing).
Since you can't contact them (as you would just get the message back) I can only suggest responding to a suitable message to them and asking the sender if they can contact this person by another method and explain their error. As you have their credit card number possibly you could identify the card issuer (you could ask your bank - the first four digits would identify it) and contact them.
I don't think, given your description, that this is likely to be a phishing attempt.

Why am I recieving someone else's email on my iCloud email?

I set up an iCloud account back when my partner and I purchased our iPad 2. We recently purchased me a new Retina Macbook Pro and when I set up my mail the icloud account was automatically filled in due to my Apple ID account info. However after it was set up I started recieving emails from three people all with the same last name.
How do I regain control of my iCloud account or create a new one and associate it with my Apple ID so I can stop getting email from people I have never met?

It is most likely that they have either mistyped their address or have somehow got the notion that your address is actually their address (inexperienced people do sometimes do this sort of thing).
Since you can't contact them (as you would just get the message back) I can only suggest responding to a suitable message to them and asking the sender if they can contact this person by another method and explain their error.

I don't share my account with anyone. In my iPhone settings>iCloud>Notes is turned off. I checked my computer's iCloud notes and none of the other person's notes are on there. What am I suppose to do?

Sign out of iTunes & App Store and sign in with the correct Apple ID.

Getting someone else's e-mails

For the past month I have been getting someone else's e-mails. It started with a warning that my account would be shut down if I didn't pay; then I got thank yous for renting two movies that I didn't rent. Now I have been told after several warnings that my account is good. I have contacted Verison three times to resolve the issue. All three times I was told that my two accounts were current and ignore. However, I am still getting someone else's e-mails. Evidently this is beyond Verizon's ability to fix - they cannot do a search on a particular e-mail and see what shows up. I am quite frustrated by this and there is someone else who is not getting his/her e-mails. Any suggestions other than simply ignore?

Can't give you advice, but will tell you I went though and still go through the same thing. Someone has an email that is similar to mine and I get all their personal emails, tax info, when they were buying a house, I emailed the people once I dug through and found the actual email, Verizon said there was nothing they could do. All I do now, is delete them as they come in. Its irritating though.

Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

TS3988 Someone else's email shows up on my iCloud account

Someone else's email shows up on my iCloud account. How do I get the email removed?

Hi
Go to setting -> reset -> reset all content and setting. And to avoid this to happen again, after using your apple Id go to setting -> general -> restriction -> account and change from "allow changes" to "never allow changes". I even turn off itunes and app stores in restriction, i only turne them on when i need to download something and soon after finishing i turn them back off for safety.

How come someone else is receiving my icloud emails?

I just found out that someone else is receiving my icloud emails. I tried to make a dinner reservation and gave my icloud email address, nothing turned up so I called them and they said that someone with the same name as me called 5 minutes before to say they had received the confirmation email. I checked the address i entered online and it was correct, so someone else is receiving my mail. On checking back to my inbox, I haven't received a mail for about a week!! I can send mail, checked this by sending to my Gmail account, but someone else with the same name is receiving my mail, what can I do?

Hi Cammalitos,
If you are concerned about the security of your iCloud email account, and based on what you state it sounds like you should be, you should change the password for that Apple ID and iCloud account (they are the same) using the steps provided here -

You may also want to consider turning on two-step verification for increased security -

When i go to download an app it comes up as someone else's email, when i go to download an app it comes up as someone else's email

when idownload an app it comes up as someone elses email and it wants me to type in their password to download the app but i cant log into my email instead for apple store

You're on the right track here, but the app itself has nothing to do with it.
Usually this issue occurs when the iPhone was bought used or given by someone else. And usually when someone sells/gives away their iPhone they don't bother logging out of it or restoring it as new. So their Apple ID's will remain logged in, meaning that you will not be able to download anything until you log them out and log in with your own. To do this is really simple:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store
2. Click the email that you see (someone else's email in this case)
3. Click either "Delete Account" or "Log out" towards the bottom of the screen
4. Sign in with your own apple ID
If you do not have an apple ID then I recommend going to appleid.apple.com and creating one. Be sure that when you create it, your information is accurate and that you can easily remember both your password and security questions.

Receiving someone else's email on my computer but addressed to another

I have been receiving someone else's email on my computer, but the email has the address for their
computer. We are using 2 different ISP; only our last name is the same. Is this the work of a virus/worm received from an email from the other person? What can I do to rid my email of this intrusion?

I would say there are 2 possibilities:
1) The the sender (or sender's computer) sent the email to your address
2) The ISP of 'the other person' has made an error in one of his rerouting-rules
The only thing you can do is report these cases (forward the email with Full Headers ON) to the postmaster of both your and the other person's domain, as well as to the sender.
The problem is not on your end UNLESS you managed to configure your mailreader in a way that you use the other person's mail-servername, username and password, which is very unlikely!
Kind regards,
Adam

Would someone else's email address show on icloud backup?

My iphone was stolen 2 weeks ago, as soon as my replacment arrived I tried to restore my details from icloud. To my surprise, I found someone else's email address displayed asking for their password?
Would the case be (surmising only!) that this person has tried to log into itunes with their details to reset the iphone so then when I have tried to restore my new iphone it is displaying their last attempt or details in attempting to reset my stolen iphone?
I just dont undesrtand how their email is displayed on my icloud back up?

That Apple ID is associated with content on the iPhone. It's not itself a security threat.

Someone else's email account in my inbox address line?

I recently downloaded an update to the software ad all of a sudden someone else's email address appears in my to address line of my in box instead of mine. Anyone have a fix?

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
A Finder window may open with an item selected. If it does, move the selected item to the Trash. Log out and log back in. Test. You'll have to re-enter your Apple ID and App Store settings.

Can someone access my email through iCloud if they used to have access to my email?

Can someone access my email through iCloud if they used to have access to my email?

Your question is not clear. If it is a Yahoo email account, then where does iCloud come into the picture? Or do you mean you are using the yahoo.com email address as your Apple ID? These are entirely different things. The Yahoo email account is not in any way related to the Apple ID that is using that email address as the Apple ID.

I keep getting someone else's photos in my photo stream and can't delete them directly

Hi !
I noticed lately that I keep getting pics of someone else in my photo stream. I thought maybe that someone hacked into my cloud so I disabled it and the share feature for photos. This isn't the first time this happens, I used to get pics from this person before and then it stopped. I also changed my ID and password just in case, but I still don't know where this is coming from. I'm afraid that they might have been getting some of my pics too :S

Just as an interesting follow-up, I contacted Apple's technical support line to try to inform them of this privacy violation (i.e. That I've received photos of some guy's kids on my phone) and was told that they couldn't help me because I didn't have tech support coverage. I could, however, purchase said coverage for $60 or $70. I explained that I wasn't having a technical issue with my phone, but rather there was a back-end issue. I asked why I should pay to have them deal with a problem on their end, and a problem that is actually affecting someone else, since it's his photos that are getting broadcast. The Apple tech couldn't supply an answer to that. He did suggest that I change my password, though I can't imagine the issue is that some guy hacked my account so he could upload pictures of his family playing in the backyard or him attending a football game.
