Two accounts on one email address?

On September 14, I started getting emails from Skype in Hungarian. I translate the message, it says
Welcome (someones username),
You have a new voice message!
All the links in the the email look legit, they all go to the skype.com root domain or subdomain of skype.com. The message also says to log into skype to listen to the message.
The username in the email is not mine. If I search for the username, it looks like it is a real account.
How is it possible for someone to sign up to skype with an email address already being used for skype, or how is it possible for someone to change their email address without confirming it is their email address?
This is a security problem... I could probably reset this users password right now.
How do I fix this?

You don't need two accounts. Just use the same one.
If you need two accounts then get one of the free one available, hotmail, yahoo, gmail, and so forth.

Can I make two accounts with one email address?

I am a newbie so I hope this question makes sense to someone out there. When I purchased an ipod for my daughter several years ago, I opened her account with my email address because she was so young at the time. I now have an ipad for myself and we are arguing over whose account it is. As an example, when I was playing an ongoing game on my ipad with my name attached to the account she complained that she couldn't play the same game with her own accumulating score so we edited the apple id password to her name and now it is associated with her Facebook account so my identity in the game is in lala land and I cannot access it. Is it possible to have two separate identities with the same email address used for your apple id? How do we go about setting up them so we can switch between them? Any help with this issue is appreciated, thank you.

You need to be in a country to use its store, so you can't buy content from the French store unless you are in France with a France billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the music be added to the Canadian store, but unless the record company/rights-holder agrees to it then Appl won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

Pass retrieval - two accounts only one email addre...

Hi everyone,
Somehow I seem to have two Skype names registered to the one email address. Let's call them "One" and "Two". I'm trying to access account One, but there seems to be a password issue. When I go through password recovery, I get sent an email from Skype regarding resetting my password for account Two. I'm not interested in account Two, only account One.
What's the deal with this! How can I retrieve my password?!
Thanks.

Hi, Shawnspider, and welcome to the Community,
First thing: change your e-mail account's password.
Secondly, assume control of the other account which you did not create by changing that account's password.
Then, you can 'delete (remove) the Skype account' which you did not create by clicking on that link, which will take you to Skype Customer Service to complete the process.
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
Regards,
Elaine

Two Skype names one email address

When I am in Skype I can see my profile in the upper right. But in my contacts I see what appears to be an old version of my account. My profile has my email address in it, and this other contact also has my email address in it. The other contact has a profile picture I recall setting up way back when I used skype a long time ago, and before I had setup a microsoft account.
Is there a way to get rid of that old contact/account and keep the current microsoft account connected one? I don't want anyone to be confused with the two versions or for me to potentially lose messages that might get sent to the wrong, unused, contact.

HI,
There should be no problem
Hope this helps

Two accounts with same email address: TROUBLE!

In experimenting with accounts (to solve a problem involving connecting to different ISPs at different times), I wound up creating a second account with the same email address as my regular one. These were POP accounts. When I realized that wouldn't help me, I deleted the second account. To my surprise, Mail deleted all of my inbox, sent mail and trashed mail. It still showed many, many mails (in those places) with the indication "you must reconnect to the server", but in fact I rebuilt the mailboxes and the mails were truly gone. I think Mail shouldn't have permitted the second account to be created in that way. Loss of mail is pretty serious, and there was no indication to me that I was doing anything wrong. I hope this is fixed in the next version.

I don't know a workaround for that other than to use a different address for the calendar share.

Can I move my account from one email address to another?

If I have used an @aol.com email address for my iTunes account for years, can I switch that to a @gmail account, and have all the purchases and account info link with my new email address? Or do I have to sign up for a new account with my new email address?

"If I have used an @aol.com email address for my iTunes account for years, can I switch that to a @gmail account, and have all the purchases and account info link with my new email address? "
No.
Why start a new account at all?
Just change the e-mail address associated with your current account.

Two accounts under one email.

My son while home on leave from the coast gaurd, set up his ipod using my email account as his log in. I since bought an ipod and set up an account using my email, not knowing he had used my id, and email, so I changed the password. How can we get one or the other off the account, As he is on his ship trying to get into the istore, and does not know why his password does not work. I can't get a message to him to tell him what is going on that we both have the same log in name. So if she changes the password, then it locks me out. So I need to change something here in Texas, Any suggestions

I have 2 accounts on one email address and can't access one of them

I registered an account for my husband and used the same email address as my Skype account. Now I'm having problems signing into my account and when I ask for a recovery code the emails I get are for his account. How can I either get my details or, alternately, delete his account? Thanks

Go to Settings > iCloud, and sign out of the Apple ID there, then sign in with a different Apple ID.

Can I have two accounts on one email

I need to change my apple id email but when i try to it says "already an apple id" I went to the old id and tryed to delete it but i saw you cant delete an id .so now i'm stuck with ,my normal id with all my data and old email, and an old one with no data with my new email so i need any way to use my normal id with my new email unless i can transfer all my data from one account to another?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Absolutely. Although you can only have one primary iCloud account, you'll need to add secondary accounts from system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars.

Multiple Apple IDs with one email address?

I want to set up an iTunes account for my son in order to keep his music and apps separate from mine. But I want to keep it under my email address and credit card. Can you have more than one iTunes account on one email address? If so, do I just create an Apple ID that isn't an email address?
Thanks in advance for your help.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
Answering quickly, though, to the best of my knowledge you cannot create an Apple ID using the same email address you used to create a previous ID. You'll need a separate email for your son, at least initially. You can then change the email to which receipts, etc. are sent and make it yours, if you wish.

How do we have seperate Apple ID's under one email address?

How do "marry" seperate accounts under one email address? For instance, my wife has her Apple ID under our email but the system will not let me establish my own apple account using the same email. What to do?

You don't.
You will need a separate email address.

Can you use more than one email address on one account as to enable two or three devices to use imsg????

Can you use more than one email address on one account as to enable two or three devices to use imsg as when i add new email address's in settings it just says veriyfying and nothing happens????

If I read your question right, yes.
My pad has two e mail addresses, and my phone has a phone number as well as a e mail address. For each device you can add additional 'receive at' addresses in settings.
Note, when you add a new address, apple will send an e mail to that new address that you need to respond to, to show that it is a valid address. So look in the inbox of that e mail account for the verification e mail. Note further, some spam filters think that the verification e mail might be spam, so if it does not show up in your in box, look in any spam file you might have.
in my case, the verification e mail came within a few minutes of declaring the new address.
The multiple address are useful if you have more than one device under your apple id, and want to be able to send stuff to that particular device.
