Cannot add additional email address.

I am trying to add an additional email account to my iphone but the 'add account' option is grayed out. Help?

As far as adding alternate e-mail addresses to be associated with a single Apple ID, after going through the steps that you mentioned, you should get a verification e-mail each time you add an additional address.
As Apple states; "Verify your changes by following the link in the e-mail you will receive from Apple and signing into your account."
Simply stated, it sounds like you are not verifying the new addresses after you enter them.  I am not sure if the verification e-mail goes to the new e-mail address you added, which is likely, or the original, so check both.

  • Why can't I add additional email addresses to my Apple ID?

    In my family we share the same Apple ID.
    However, we would like to be able to use iMessage and Facetime amongst the different units (iPhones/iPads), which requires me to have several email addresses registered under the Apple ID, as all units (ie. the iPads) do not have associated phone numbers.
    However, when I add them directly under Settings -> Facetime/iMessage -> Add Another Email it gives me an error (unspecified - it just says an error occured), when it tries to verify my email.
    I then figured that I needed to have all these different email addresses registered to my Apple ID we all are using. Hence I went to appleid.apple.com and signed in to manage my Apple ID. I tried adding additional email addresses under "Add Email Address". But when I push "Save Changes" after having added another email address nothing happens. It just sits there.
    I have tried several different browsers on different Macs and even on the iPad, but all with the same result.
    Can anybody help?

    Hey Thomas,
    I was able to get my MobileMe email address verified tonight...  I logged into the Manage Apple ID website with my MobileMe email address and it again said it's own email address wasn't Verified.  So I tried, for the **** of it, to add an additional Alternate Email Address and added the MobileMe email address for which I was logged in as.  It immediately took the email and marked it verified with the green check mark.  The only thing, my MobileMe.com email address shows up as the Primary and then again listed under the Alternates.  I tried deleting the one listed under the alternate but it doesn't go away.  I'm just trilled it's now verified and I can log in and use my MobileMe email address in the iMessage, FaceTime and Find My Friends services!
    I still cannot, however, delete my MobileMe email address that's still listed as an un-Verified alternate on my old iTunes Apple ID, but it's not affecting the fact that my MobileMe email address is NOW verified on my MobileMe Apple ID!
    So all is finally working now, after a week, and after being on Apple's Express Lane Chat and to the store's Genius Bar on Thursday 10/20 which were both a joke.

    Hi,
    We typically see this when an organizations IT department is blocking the upload of images.  Are you working on this at work?  If so, can you try adding the image outside your companies network?

  • Adding additional Email Address (Email Alias) To DL

    Hi, 
    I have 1000 DLs and each DL has around 5 existing email addresses. I want to add 6th one now to all 1000 DLs. Is there any way to add additional email address without overwriting existing ones? The command below is deleting existing email addresses
    Set-DistributionGroup "ABC Group" -EmailAddresses SMTP:[email protected]
    I want to add without deleting older ones.

  • Adding additional email addresses to From field

    In the default iOS Mail app, how can I add additional email addresses to the "From" field? It only allows me to select accounts which are set up on the phone. However I have one email account which forwards to another, but I want to respond to those messages using the original address it was sent to.

    SOLVED.
    Once a ePrint job had been submitted from each of the email addresses I added in the Allowed Senders Only list, all emails showed up on the ePrint Settings list. Works fine.

  • Why do I have to click each time in the "TO" bar to add an additional email address? Before 4.0, I could keep typing and adding more addresses.

    When typing people to send my email to, I have ALWAYS been able to start typing and the address pops up, so I select it, then I can start another, and so on. NOW I can only start typing and select ONE email. The cursor is no where to be found and I can only add more email addresses by clicking EACH time in the address bar. HATE THIS!!!!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

    Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account?  I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use.  I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

    So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother.  Is this correct?  Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her?  I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    Where are you trying to update the email addresses?

  • Add personal email addresses to phone

    My Blackberry 8530 recently died...I received my replacement.  When trying to set up my gmail emails to my phone I cannot find the option.  I only have the option for a work email with a server.  How can I set up my personal email?
    Thanks,
    Elisabeth

    Hi Elisabeth! Glad you got you replacement. I'm happy to help you set up your email. You'll want to look for an icon called "Setup" on the main menu screen of the BlackBerry. Once in the "Setup" menu, look for "Setup Wizard." Then click on "Email Setup". Make sure "I want to create or add an email address" is highlighted, then click "Next". From that point, merely follow the on-screen prompts!

  • I want add  rescue email address

    Hi,
    I want add rescue email address to reset my security question .I recharge my apple account 25$ but I cannot buy any application because it ask me to insert my answers in security question so I need to reset my security question .
    to reset security question I have to add rescue email address .
    please help me!

    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or if there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

    My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"  I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

    What are you having problems with ?
    This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.
