Do I need to create a new email address or apple id to create an iMessage or FaceTime account?

I have the latest iPod touch. When I try to create an account on FaceTime or iMessage I get a message saying that they can't verify my email address because it is already in use. What does that mean? Does it mean that I need to create a new email?Or apple id? Please help as quickly as possible as I don't want to have to create anything new. Many thanks

lllaass, thank you for your help, but I still don't fully understand: do I need to create a new apple id? Is it possible to create another id with the same email address? Can't I use the same email address for several accounts? Thanks again.

Verified new email address on Apple ID, but keep getting asked for password for old address

Months ago, I changed my Apple ID to reflect my new email address. I received and verified the new address and deleted the old one from my Apple ID account page. When I log in, there is no mention of my old address, and my new email address is recorded as the primary one. However whenever I am asked for my Apple ID when I try to change or buy anything, the email address that comes up is my old one. Needless to say no password I enter works, so there are many things that I'm currently unable to do. This is driving me nuts. Any ideas, please?

Did you change the email address used in your existing Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID with the new email address?
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

I have a new email address. how do I apply it to my old account?

I have a new email address and 2 seperate accounts how do I combine them into 1 and make a new account?

How does that relate to Firefox?
Is it for a Firefox Account, or website login here?

I'm confused about the apple ID transition from my aol screen name. Does it continue to use my aol email as my apple ID, converting it somehow or do I need to provide a new email address or just create a new username for the apple ID?

I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!

I have a new email address and would like to change it in itunes. Can I edit my account with the new address or do I have to create a new account? Will this cause any problems with music/apps that I have already purchased?

How do I create a new account in iTunes with a new email address?

I need to switch my daughter's email address and link this to an iTunes account. However, I am worried that all songs that were previously downloaded will not be able to play because of DRM. Does anyone know how to take an iTunes library created under a previous account (under an old email address and password) and assign it to a new account with a new email address? I am trying to do this without burning a whole bunch of CDs and importing the songs into the new iTunes account.
Thanks!

How do i create a new email address?

how do i create a new email address in Mail?

Have you already established a new email account with an email provider such as Apple, Yahoo, Google, etc.? From the email provider you will need to know the email address ([email protected]), and the password for the account. If this is a common used provider such as iCLoud, MS Exchange, Google, Yahoo, or AOL that is all you will need to know Mail will fill in the rest of the information automatically. For other accounts you will need to know the acount type (POP3 or IMAP), the URL for the POP or IMAP server, the security type for the server, the URL for the outgoing email server (SMTP) and the security type for it. Don't panic over all this, most email providers have instructions on their site for setting up Apple Mail -- you just have to find it.
Once you have the information together, open Mail then on the menu bar at the top of the screen select Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the list of accounts and start by entering your new email address and password. Mail will then attempt to fill in the rest of the information it needs. If it is unable to do so, you will have to fill in the information yourself hopefully following the instructions provided by the email provider.

How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and need to update my Apple ID.

How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and need to update my Apple. Frustrated!!

Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

HT4897 Can I create a new email address that will work with my existing Apple ID?

Hello,
When I got my first Mac I created an Apple ID. I later created an email account with the name [email protected] I'd like to have an address that is [email protected] I'd prefer not to use an alias. Can I do this without losing all the information in my Apple ID such as itunes purchases, computer purchase history, etc? How do I find out if the new email address I'd like to use is available?
Thanks,
kayjh

You already have [email protected] If you want [email protected] you will have either to create an alias, or to create a new Apple ID (for which you will need a different non-Apple email address) and then create a new iCloud account. You can continue to be signed in in System Preferences>iCloud with your current ID, and the new one can be signed in in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where it will appear in Mail alongside the current one as a separate account. Or you can scrap the present ID and sign in with the new one in System Preferences>iCloud but continue to use the old one to sign in in iTunes - there is no confilct about doing that (though of course any data such as Calendars ancd Contacts you have in the present account will disappear if you sign out). I should choose the second option - the new account in Mail, Contacts and Calendars.

Need powershell commands to get email addresses from public folder created in EAC to CSV

Need powershell commands to get email addresses from public folder created in EAC to CSV
1. Created Public folders via EAC - not mail enabled - just to hold contacts.
2. Assigned owners and showed to add new contacts - then add to favorites and finally to display as address book.
Now I need a powershell command to get those email contacts in those public folders.
I need to view them because when we send emails to those groups (via select all) in the public folders, it is creating an NDR for 3 users saying - "..blah blah -OFFICE FAX or HOME FAX) - yet they are getting the emails.
I suspect that their contact details are corrupt somehow and want to see what contacts are actually listed in the public folders. I already checked to see if the source of the contacts was the public folder or "my contacts" and they are not.'
I have tried multiple get recipient commands and get public folder commands with no results in the CSV

The only way to get that data is either via the Outlook com object or using EWS. None of the commands in the Exchange shell look inside of a folder, the most you can get with those is email addresses for mail-enabled Public folders. Here is a link that can
get you started with how to connect to public folders via EWS, then its just enumerating the folders and looping through the items in the folders for the details of the items.

Creating a new email address in GroupWise 7

I have groupwise 7 and need to create a new email address. I have searched the on-line documentation and it says to use ConsoleOne. However, my GroupWise user interface does not the ConsoleOne. Can someone tell me how to get to ConsoleOne?

* skhazra,
I assume you are using Groupwise in a corporate environment, so best approach is to contact your company's Groupwise administrator.
He can create additional addresses for you @yourcompany.com or he can tell you if it is possible to add an external mail address to your Groupwise client.

This is the issue. They are telling you to get a specific email address.
If this address is already taken, then what?
Roger thank you that was the info i needed
FYI: My first post was a link to -> iCloud: Create or change email aliases

If I create a new Apple ID, will my mail automatically change to the new email address For the new id?

Also will the apps that I have not bought with my money from App Store but just downloaded, can I still upgrade them? And what about if I have some music and apps which were not brought from my iPhone 5c which I am currently using, but from my old iPhone 3GS from another Apple ID , will they be transferred again like they did before onto my 5c?
Thanks

I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above. That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?
