Why is someone else's name showing on my iCloud account?

I'm having trouble with my iOS devices and my @me.com account. I don't know why for some reason my sister's name is showing in my iCloud.com email account and I recently bought an iPad mini and an iPhone 5 which were already set up with her name as well. I think the last 2 might have been because I bought them online and had the iPad delivered to my sister's address (I'm not in the country) with her name as the receiver and the iPhone was a store pick up that was also on her name and she signed when she picked it up at the store. Anyway I changed the name on my iPhone 5 and on the iPad to mine in settings but my iCloud.com account still shows her name and I don't understand why??? Help.

Sounds like some of the templates provided by apple. Google lorem ipsum for info on the filler text used.

Why does someone else's document appear in my Pages app? I did not create this document, and it is in another language. it is an essay on 101 Geography, then there is another document that is "Note Taking" and it also is in another language. Neither of these documents were created by me and my Ipad never leaves my hands. ??
Has anyone encountered this? JC

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

My email is has someone else's name as the recipient, but with my address

I'm receiving email that has:
"To: "someone else's name" " (it shows my cousin's name, not mine)
Hovering over the name shows my correct email address.
My email acct preference has my name correct in the "Full Name"
This just started happening on it's own, I changed nothing.
It's all emails, even from sources I've been receivig eemails from for a long time.
Any ideas?

Great to hear, thanks!
Did she maybe use your Mac to send an eMail during a visit or such?

An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user. If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

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.

We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? home sharing is not selected

We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.

That's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

HT4858 why can't i see my photos in my icloud account?

Why Can't I see my photos in my icloud account?

Because there is no iCloud photo viewer. You need to move them to your computer or your iOS device to view them. Photo stream is just a mechanism to share photo's across multiple devices - it is not an online permanent storage, nor an online viewer feature.
Photo stream storage space is not even part of your personal iCloud account - it is separate, intended for temporary (max. 30 days) storage of photos solely to allow you to copy them onto other devices.
See the photo stream FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

I had two email accounts on mobile me. Only on of the accounts now shows as an iCloud account. What do I need to do?

I had two email accounts on mobile me. Only one of the accounts now shows as an iCloud account. What do I need to do?

What do you mean by 'I had two email accounts on mobile me'?
Did you have two separate individual MobileMe accounts? Each needs to be migrated separately; one can be signed into in System Preferences>iCloud and the other in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
Did you have a Family Pack with subaccount(s), or 'email only' accounts attached to a main account? Again, each sub-account/email-only account needs to be migrated separately, will become a full separate iCloud account and they can be signed into as above.
Did you have email aliases? These should be transferred along with the account. They are not separate accounts, and do not appear as such in Mail; messages to them appear in the iCloud inbox alongside messages to the main address.
