I've been having the same issue and I believe it comes from one thing.


I did a complete cleaning of the HDD and reinstalling of the software in order to give the computer to a family member. In order for the new software to download OS X, it had to download from my apple ID. Once the computer was up and had a clean install we started using our family members apple ID for every login. We began to see the issue that my apple ID showed up in the app store every time and I believe it's because all OS software was downloaded under my Apple ID.


We haven't restarted the computer and reinstalled the software using my family members Apple ID yet but I am really thinking that is the case.


Hope that's helpful.

Ok, so I have updated my iPhone to the latest version, backed it up to iTunes, restored it to original version, and after restoring to an iCloud backup, this lordrene@live.com appears on my phone. Ok, weird, because the entire time of my phones use, it was in my hands, and noone ever logged in it. But I think, it's cool, I don't need the purchases, I am after the pictures, and whatever, so I press "Skip". Then another e-mail pops up. Skip. Then another. Then another. What the actual ****, this is kind of creepy. I have myself unpacked my phone, it was brand new and always in my hands, yet it shows e-mails of people who seem to be from all around the world and NONE of them is mine, while I am clearly connected to my laptop, and the iCloud is logged in to my account.


Has anyone found the solution? This is preposterous.

HOLY CRAP. I had to restore my phone and start fresh. When I went to set it up THIS EXACT EMAIL popped up. Like you, I've been to only one to ever touch this phone. I've never jailbroken or have any music loaded. This is just totally weird and I cannot find any reason why it's doing it.

This email LORDEN@LIVE.COM also showed up on my phone, after it was STOLEN, so I google-d it trying to find an answer as to WHO THIS WAS, and ended up finding this thread, where EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME EMAIL APPEARING, and numerous people are bringing up unrelated facts, issues, suggestions, almost trying to CONFUSE AND COVER UP THE MAIN PROBLEM. This is not normal and should be explained...
