I put in my email for face Time but it says my email is already in use

I Put my email in for FaceTime and its said my email is already in use

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • I am trying to update software for face time on my iPad 2, but it won't connect.

    I am trying to update software for face time, but it won't connect.

    There is no update for FaceTime as it is included with iOS 7.0.4.
    What specifically is your problem with FaceTime? Do you have a wifi/internet connection?

    Hello, Wyseup. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Most likely this email address has been attempted to be setup as an Apple ID at some point.  You can reset your Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below.  If you do not have access to the email account, need assistance or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.

  • HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address.  If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

  • New ipad mini face time issue"unable to verify email because already in use"

    My daughter had to get a new iPad mini because her battery went out. Now when she tries to face time with the new mini it says  "unable to verify email because already in use". Any suggestions on how to correct without having to create. New email address? I'm a novice Apple user. Thanks for the help headed on a 3 week trip and want to be able to FaceTime with family back home.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may have more than one Apple ID that shares the same email address. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information on how to get this resolved.

  • I have the wrong apple ID on my iPhone 4 for face time and iCloud.  I have the right apple id for iTunes store.  How can I can face time and iCloud apple id?

    I have the wrong apple ID on my iPhone 4 for face time and iCloud. It has my husband's ID because he synced it to his one time.  I do my apple id for iTunes store.  How can I can face time and iCloud apple id?

  • HT5538 Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password

    Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Using 27 monitor for face time

    How do I use my macbook pro and my 27 iinch apple monitor with face time.

    Hey there trukman,
    It sounds like you are using a TV as a monitor for your Mac mini, and need to know about attaching a camera to it for use with FaceTime. Here is some info about using an external camera:
    FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    A built-in FaceTime camera, an iSight camera (built-in or external), a USB video class (UVC) camera, or a FireWire DV camcorder.
    Making HD video calls requires a built-in FaceTime HD camera and a 1-Mbps upstream and downstream Internet connection.
    Receiving HD video calls requires a supported Intel-based Mac. For a complete list, see this article.
    A microphone.
    You can use a built-in microphone, or connect an external microphone to your computer’s audio input port.
    You can use compatible Bluetooth or USB microphone or headsets.
    If you have multiple cameras or microphones attached to your computer, use the Video menu to select the camera or microphone you wish to use with FaceTime for Mac.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How i can change the phone number for face time in iPhone 6

    plas i want change my old number to new number for face time in iPhone

    Go into Settings, turn FaceTime off. Power the phone off/on. Go back into Settings, turn on FaceTime and let it activate. The phone number comes from the SIM and the activation message. It should populate the correct number.

  • TS4268 Phone Number isn't even an option to use for Face Time or Imessaging

    In the past few days, my phone number has gone from being gray and uncheckable to use for face time and Imessaging, to not even being an option to use.  I can only use my Apple ID now.  How do i get my phone number back as an option?  I thought the phone was supposed to automatically recognize my number as an option?

    Sign out of both iMessage and Facetime. Sign back in. Your number should be available again.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1766 I loaded the software fix for face time and it wiped out my contacts and photos. can I restore them?

    I loaded the software fix for face time and in loading the new software I lost all of my other content (WITHOUT ANY WARNING). This included my contacts, photos, music. The music I can restore and losing the contacts is an inconvenience, but losing the photos is devastating.
    Any ideas?

    What software fix for FaceTime? What software did you apply?
    Did you backup your iPhone before you updated it with whatever update you applied as described in HT1766? If so, did you backup to iCloud or iTunes? Either way your  data should be restorable from that backup.
