Why can someone use same icloud e-mail address as mine?
I Have found that the new facebook account has been set up in someone's name using my iclound e-mail.

Do a backup.
Try System Preferences/iCloud and sign out. Then sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions

    Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions?  On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
    For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
    I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.

    TheresaEW,
    I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue.

  • How can I restore my icloud e-mail address?

    How can I restore my iCloud e-mail address?

    You can't change and iCloud email account address once created.  You can either create a new iCloud account, or add an @icloud.com email alias address to the existing account, which will receive email in your existing iCloud inbox (more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
    If you would rather create a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  When you turn Mail on you will be asked to create your new iCloud email address.  Type carefully as it cannot be changed later.

  • HT201342 Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

    Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

    No, only by signing up for a completely new iCloud account.
    You can add an email alias to your existing account though.

  • I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

    I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
    I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
    Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

    Sandra,

  • HT201342 how can I change my iCloud e-mail address?  It's spelled incorrectly.

    I spelled the e-mail address incorrectly when I signed up for the iCloud service but didn't notice it until it was set.  How can I change the address to be spelled correctly?  If it means deleting the incorrect one and then adding the correct one I can't figure out how to do that either!

  • Why can I use my iCloud alias on iPhone but not on iPad?

    Tried this
    Use the OTHER option instead of iCloud or MobileMe. Use the alias as the email address.  Incoming mail server is mail.me.com. User name and password is your primary acct name. Outgoing server is smtp.mail.com.
    Doesn't work. Server rejects alias
    Suggestions?

    Yes.

  • Why can't I see my sent mail on iPad mini?

    I can see my mail that has been sent to me, but I can't see any emails in which I have sent? Is there a reason why

    As I go into mail, the only items that are there are inbox trash or VIP so I'm wondering if its even possible to look through my sent mail on it? I had an iPad 2 and sent mail was there with VIP trash etc

  • Why won't my new iCloud e-mail address work on my iPhone or online?

    I recently set up an iCloud account. Everything seems to be working except mail? Is this happening to everyone?

  • Can I Delete my Current Apple ID Account then Re-Create/Re-Register a New Version of It but Use the Same Apple Username & iCloud E-Mail Address I Had Before?

    I already had an Apple ID before registering for iCloud e-mail.
    This means that my Primary Apple ID is my @gmail.com e-mail address (the one I originally registered my Apple ID with), however I'd prefer that my Primary Apple ID were my new @iCloud.com e-mail address.
    Yet, I already know that it is simply not possible to make my new @iCloud.com e-mail address my Primary Apple ID in any easy/simple sort of manner.
    My understanding is, the only possible way I could use an @iCloud e-mail address as my Primary Apple ID now is to make a brand new Apple ID account. However, I want to keep/continue using my current @iCloud e-mail address and my Apple username (JRCSaunders) -- I don't want to have to choose a new @iCloud e-mail address or Apple username.
    So basically what I'm wondering is if there is any possibility that I might be able to completely delete/erase my current Apple ID and then re-create a new Apple ID using my current/existing @iCloud.com e-mail addressas my Primary Apple ID and re-using the same Apple username I have now (JRCSaunders)?
    I'm just trying to think of a work-around so that I can make my current/existing @iCloud e-mail address my Primary Apple ID, which does not seem possible without having to create an all-new Apple ID account. But I don't want to create a new account if it means having to change any of my current addresses/names/etc. to new/different ones. So, is what I described (deleting then re-creating using the same names/addresses/info) possible?
    Thanks!

    Oops, I realized I posted this question in the iPhone section by mistake.  Is it possible to delete this message and re-post it over in the iPod Touch section?
    My apologies for this mistake.  Jd

  • Why I should use an iCloud mailbox?

    Hello there. I discovered that now I can use a @icloud.com mail address simply enabling it from my iCloud preference panel in OS X. I have created an email address, but I have some questions:
    What happens to my @icloud.com address if I don't use a Mac (or iPhone, iPad, etc.) anymore?
    Will my iCloud mail be available forever from icloud website or using IMAP configuration?
    What is the maximum space granted?
    The final question is: why I should use an iCloud mailbox instead (for example) of a Gmail one? All contributes will be greatly appreciated!

    1) Nothing
    2) Yes, as long as Apple keeps the service going
    3) 5Gb for free. More if you pay.
    4) It's up to you. iCloud email supports push notifications on iOS devices. That's about the only difference compared to any other IMAP email account. iCloud also syncs and backs up iOS devices.

  • Find My Phone - can I use same user + password for 2 phones?

    Just loaded the "Find My Phone" App on my new iPhone 4 and set it up. What a great tool for locating a lost iPhone. The only problem is that my wife and I have a joint mail and apple ID account.
    So, my question is can I use Same user name (mail account) and password for TWO iPhone 4's (mine and wifes)? I assume that would work since each phone has a different serial number, and it seems to be ok when connected to my computer to sync each phone separately.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    My phone was stolen a few days ago. It must be flat by now, I have had it locked by my service provider, Find my Phone still works but says it's in Sydney, I live in Melbourne. Is this accurate? How can it still find the phone if it's not on?

  • TS3988 My icloud account is not verifying it says check my mail witch I have done and I get a message say your iPhone for has been used to set up and Icloud account but still can not use the icloud can anybody help me.

    My icloud account is not verifying it says check my mail witch I have done and I get a message say your iPhone for has been used to set up and Icloud account but still can not use the icloud can anybody help me.

    Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account.  Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox.  The email you should receive looks like the image below.  When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
    If it still isn't there, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right look for a link to resend the verification email.

  • How you can find out when someone using your icloud account

    how you can find out when someone using your icloud account

    Someone on a different device only needs to sign with your iCloud ID and password in order to access your account, they don't need to answer any security questions if they have your credentials.  If you think this happened, you should change your iCloud password as explained here: iCloud: Change your iCloud password.  After you change the password, you will need to change it on your devices by going to Settings>iCloud>Account and entering the new password.
    If you want to inquire further about this, contact the Apple account security team: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.
