I am trying to set up a new Apple ID for my 2 sons. It says that both of their emails are already in use for someone else Apple ID. They don't have other emails. What do I do?

Apple ID already in use by someone else.

Cara,
If those email addresses are already in use somewhere else, you can get new email addresses for your kids. You can do this via your ISP, or by one of the free email services such as hotmail, yahoo, or gmail.

verizon is cdma rather then gsm which is the mostly used phone network outside usa
so depending on where out of he country mean you may not be able to recieve service at all
I would check up on the country you're going to's phone companys they would have a guide
if they support cdma and ipads

My Email address is being used by someone else

Hi
I recently set up a sub account in my married name (my primary email was in my maiden name) which was verified and i have been using this for about two weeks now. This week i have started getting friend requests from Bebo for someone else with the same name who is using my email address as theirs.
Is it possible that BT have duplicated the same email address so that both of us have the same email? if so wouldn't i have received a lot more emails from random people.
i'm concerned that i might have "stolen" someones unverified email address but even so the only emails i have received are ones that i know about.
HELP.
Solved!

Hi.
It isn't possible to have duplicate email addresses.
To be honest, I'm not sure what you mean when you say "verified" - there is nothing to verify. As soon as you add the account via the portal login, then it is yours.
Don't forget, as you mentoned people have the same names, and your email address may be without "periods", yet another of the same name may have an email address *with* a period between the firstname and surname (or of course visa versa).
There is frankly not a lot you can do abour it, apart from either ignore the requests or complain to Bebo in case they can track the user who may be giving wrong details.

Ndles are already in use. Anybody else have this issue?

Hi, I got the new Mac Book pro with retina display and Mavericks. Got all my data transferred. Ever since Time Capsule keeps acting up. It sporadically fails and states that sparse bundles are already in use. I can get it to back up again if I unplug Time Capsule and then plug it in again. Anybody else having this problem?

Ok, so I'll try again. Thank you for the idea of looking in Home Videos, which is where all my "lost" videos are listed.
Is there a way to get them to display under their appropriate genre in the Movie section, which is where they all were listed prior to the os6 update? It does me no good to have hundreds of movies categorized in iTunes via a genre only to have them appear in Home Videos on ATV. These are not "home movies." They are legit mp4 movies that worked great under v5.

When I try to send a link to a page from Safari, I get a message saying that sending the message to the server failed. It places a copy in the outbox. All other email and safari functions work properly. Ipad 2 IOS 7.1

My Ipad2 works fine except when I try to email myself a link to a safari webpage. I get an error message saying that the message failed to connect to the server. It says that a copy of the message has been left in the outbox. I cannot get the message from the outbox. All other email and safari functions work as expected.
I have cleared data and cookies, powered down, and done a reset. Nothing seems to help.

Typing in additional text seems to get the job done. This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest. Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.
Thanks.

I bought a new macbook pro and its already been used by someone else. Please help!!!!!

I bought last week a new MBP 13" with retina display but after 2 days I started using the mail app but when I was about the set my mail account, I notice that there was already another name in the name section. I was just wondering if apple sells refurbished macbook pro as new????? this is the second time a return my macbook pro because the first time it had a defect on the screen.

I would take it straight back to the store and explain what happened. They should replace it with a new model. While you're still in the store, open it up in front of them and make sure it prompts you to set the computer up from scratch (e.g., create user, etc).

HT5538 I received a notification on my iPhone that MY email address was being used on someone else's iPhone for iMessage.

I have 3 devices that use my email address for iMessage. I got a message today on my phone that says "Keith's iPhone is now using my email for iMessage" I'm not Keith. I know someone named Keith, but why would he be using my email. How is this possible? Have I been hacked?

Change your password. Now.

After I close Firefox 4.0 and try to open it later, it says that another instance of firefox is already open and won't let me open firefox. I have to restart computer..

After it closes I work on another program, etc. When I try to go online again firefox says it's still open even though I can see nothing. Going to Task Manager doesn't show anything open.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have. I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging. How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

Hey Wendaroski,
I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

HT4479 I have an Apple ID that's not an email, and I have been told it needs to be an email address. I change it to my email address and it says my email is already in use. I only have one email address. I don't want to create a second email address.

I have an email account and they want me to use my (same) email account name as my Apple ID. When I do it says my email is already in use. Is Apply suggesting I need to create a second email address?

Is the email address being used in the account of another Apple ID that you have?

HT5622 I was making new Apple ID with my other Email on iTunes, but I canceled the process on payment page. After a while i went to make a new ID with same Email but it says the Email is already in use! what should i do?

You will need to try changing the email address on the first account and see if you can then re-use it on a new account - you can try changing the email address via http://appleid.apple.com or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes (if you don't have a spare email account then you can create one via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com)

HT204053 I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. SHould it be the itunes or iCloud id?

I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.

I am trying to set up my new replacement phone and the iCloud account is using my old email that is no longer activated, so I am not able to reset my password in order to set up messaging, etc. What do I do??

Try to change your Apple ID back to your old email address (http://appleid.apple.com) in order to set up and activate the phone. After the set up please sign out of iCloud and turn off "Find My iPhone" (Settings > iCloud) - do that on all your devices -, then change your Apple ID to your new address again and then add your iCloud account on you devices again.
