Welcome to Discussions, BRGreen
Your email address should already be in use by the Apple iD you used with your previous iPod.
Did you try to "restore" your old information to your new iPod?
Are you by chance trying to use using a different Apple iD for FaceTime on the new one?
If not, try restarting your new iPod before configuring FaceTime again:

Then check the iPod User instructions for Guide FaceTime and Settings carefully to be sure you are following the procedure.

You may have more than one Apple ID that shares the same email address.
Try one of the following to resolve the issue:
This error message means that your email address is already associated with another Apple ID. It could be tied to GameCenter, iTunes Store, or another Apple ID. Try using your Apple ID for those services to log in to FaceTime on your device.
If you wish to use a separate Apple ID for FaceTime, unlink the email address from any other Apple ID before trying to set it up as a separate Apple ID for FaceTime.
If you would like to change your Apple ID to another email address, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions in this article to change your Apple ID.

Mail keeps crashing because: "Mailbox cannot access your mailbox information because it's already in use."

I have the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and my Apple Mail has always worked just fine. About a week ago, I recieve a message saying "Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it’s already in use." The dialogue box gave me the options of "Rebuilding Mailbox Information" or quitting the application. Rebuilding does absolutely nothing, and every time I try to open Mail I get the same response and have to quit. I haven't added any apps or anything that would affect my mail; what's going on? Thanks!

Try this first.

You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account

My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me. We both have the same e-mail address. The message I get when I try to set my new one up is that the Apple ID is already in use. How do I set up with our shared e-mail account

My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me. We both have the same e-mail address. The message I get when I try to initiate setup is that the Apple ID is already in use. Any ideas on how to complete the setup of the new iPad since we both share the e-mail account?

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

I already have changed my apple id. But whenever I update any application, it is asking and using the old app id and password that is not a working e-mail already. How can I change my app id?

So you made a new Apple ID? Unfortunately that won't work. Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. What should have been doen is mearely change the email address that was associated with the Apple ID.

The only way that you can do this now is with a new email address if you used your current email address for the new Apple ID.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

My secondary e-mail address used on my daughter's ipod can no longer work. She uses this as her imessage texting. First it needed to be verified. Once I tried to verify it on appleid support, It states, that it is already in use with another apple id. She used it for weeks before this happened.

"Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it's already in use. Rebuild Mailbox information Quit" Both quits Mail.

After installing Yosemite, my Mail stops working after about 20-30 seconds when this Dialog Box pops up, freezes Mail and says:
"Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it’s already in use.
Another application on your computer or on your local network is using your mailbox information. Click Quit to quit Mail. Then log out of this computer and any other computer you’re using. After you log in again, open Mail on one computer only.
If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
Rebuild Mailbox information Quit"
Clicking on either one quits Mail. I am receiving my emails. I can even send my self a test email and receive it before it freezes up in 20-30 seconds. My ISP thinks it's a "Kernal" software problem.
Through advice by a friend, I have tried:
Applications - Utililities - Disk Utilities - and selected my hard drive and then click Repair Permissions
Rebooted a bunch of times. The first time Repair Permissions printed a few pages of stuff. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th times, it printed out this:
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”User differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; user is 244.Group differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; group is 244.Repaired “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”
Permissions repair complete
But I still have the same problem I stated the the beginning of this:(
Any more advice?

I have the exact same issue, just after installing Yosemite. Please advise

Mail for Exchange already in use error when sendin...

We have a number of Nokia E50-1 on Vodafone network which we are using Mail for Exchange 2.5.3 (mfe) to sync emails with a microsoft Small Business Server 2003 (SBS2003). When we try to reply or send a new email from the E50 we get the error "Mail for Exchange: Already in use". This happens even if the sync is set to manual and email is set to send with next sync. Very ocassionally a message will go if we keep retrying.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?

hi all,
great forums, hopefully someone has some more info on this, as i am getting the same issue.
I had mail for exchange working with my e71 no worries and then i added my home TPG account. the TPG account would not work for some reason, not that it overtly worried me, but then when i tried sending mail through exchange (either reply or new mail) i get the error message 'Mail for exchange: already in use'
I have removed the TPG account, rebooted the thing several times, all sorts of stuff - nothing seems to work. it is still syncing and i am receiving email, i just can't send...!!
any troubleshooting tips or further info would be greatly appreciated

Hello gerryfromhatfield,
There is a process, an article about how to find your apple id and get access to it. It is named Apple ID: Finding your Apple ID found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625?viewlocale=en_US
You start at the top, and work your way down.
If you can't remember your Apple ID, you can find it by using the password retrieval process at My Apple ID. Follow these steps to recover your Apple ID name:
Go to My Apple ID and click "Find your Apple ID."
Complete all the required fields that might be associated with your Apple ID.
Note: If multiple email addresses have an Apple ID, select your current or most recently used email address.
All the best,
Sterling

When I try to sync my mobile browser to my computer browser, It says my E-mail address is already in use. Then when I tried to sign in under that E-mail addres

When I try to sync my mobile browser to my computer browser, It says my E-mail address is already in use. Then when I tried to sign in under that E-mail address, it says the password or user name is incorrect. I already reset the password and tried again, still with no success.

If you are trying to '''add a new device''' to your Sync account, see this: <br />

'''Pair a Device''' is usually the best way of adding a mobile device to a Firefox account.

In trying to use my mail email address to get on facetime on my iphone it says error: that address is already being used

In trying to add my most used email address to connect to facetime on my iphone I receive an error message saying I cannot use that address as it is already being used.

FaceTime works over the internet. You place a FT call to an iPhone using the iPhone's phone number, no matter the device; iPhone, iTouch, iPad or Mac, making the call. FT calls all go through Apple's server farms and the iPhones are registered by their phone number in the FT data base.
Using FaceTime
Once configured and enabled on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac, FaceTime will automatically receive incoming calls from other FaceTime users as long as your iOS device is connected to a Wi-Fi network, or your Mac is connected to the Internet—the latter in any way.
Outgoing FaceTime calls must be initiated by selecting a contact in your address book—there is no means to manually dial a FaceTime phone number or e-mail address. This means that anybody you wish to contact via FaceTime must be in your address book.
To place calls to a FaceTime user on an iPhone, you must use their cellular phone number. An iPhone cannot register for FaceTime with an e-mail address. To place calls to a FaceTime user on an iPod touch or a Mac you must use one of their registered FaceTime e-mail addresses that is configured on that particular device.
This may be a little out of date, as you can now register an email address for an iPhone I believe, but the address should be unique to the iPhone.

My e-mail is already in use, how do I solve that?

I'm tierd, just f*****g help me already!

Hi!
Please, when posting issues, try to be as specific as possible. As the-edmeister says, the way is phrase it, it's not really clear what do you mean.
I presume that you are trying to set up your Sync account and the system is telling you that the email you are trying to use is already in use. If you have the Sync key and the password, follow these instructions:
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/add-a-device-to-firefox-sync#w_how-do-i-add-a-device-when-im-not-near-my-computer How do I add a device?]
