I want to sync my 2 computers, but my email address is already used

I want to sync 2 computers, but I can't set up an account because my email address is invalid, because, I think, I already have a sync account, and I don't know how to access the existing account so that I can add a device

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I cannot setup my icloud mail on device; it says my icloud email address is already used, but its mine

I already had a me.com email address from Apple. They notified me that I have the same address at icloud.com. However, when I go to see it up on my iPhone 4, it is rejected saying that my icloud.com address is already in use. So how can I set up my phone and then my icloud web mail account. It won't work unless I have icloud mail set up on my iPhone. Thanks. - Samuel

Hi Eric, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that didn't work in the past or present. There is some back story and things are not straightforward because of increased complexity in the computing world, my lack of understanding and time to be aware for a year or two and a laptop that turned out to be a lemon: bought two macbook laptops in 2007/8 (one had to have a new harddrive months after it was bought) along with mac.com addresses for me and my children. I didn't use mine but they used theirs. I continued to use hotmail which a patient person at apple - through some complex manouvering - was able to get it read in apple mail and calendar (but which may have turned out to create some of the problems). Then there was mobile me and me.com, a failed attempt to sync computers, and a lack of awareness on my part that the computing world had become more complex and remembering passwords, usernames, accounts, etc. was important and keeping the mobile me addresses sorted. Somewhere in this soup, something became tangled. I don't know what. My iphone and apple id is hotmail right now - not icloud or me.com. I just bought a new macbook pro for myself only and iphone because it was time but also hoping to untangle the mess. Thought it would be easy to sync the two up through icloud! Any thoughts? Or am I condemned to find a new email name for icloud?

Trying to set up sync. I'm told my email address is already in use. How do I get it accepted?

It is my valid email address at gmail. Why is it rejected and preventing me from setting up sync? I use Windows8 and Linux Mint.

Try to reset Lost or Forgotten Password or delete sync account:

My problem is, sync encountered an error while connecting: unknown error please retry preferences. I tried to resync, but my email address was already synced. Help!

The above just started happening yesterday, I click it off and it pops back up again. Today, I tried to set-up sync and it showed my email already existed.
I have problem number 2, which has been going on for sometime now, "we noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click o.k. to reload your page. Today, I went to file and clicked exit and restart Firefox and the same thing happened. Please help me!

I had the same error,
I accidentally saved the password server XXXX.services.mozilla.com
Once the password unregistered, synchronization started to operate.
for more logs, we can look at the variables in about: config and doing a search services.sync
services.sync.lastSync may be useful to track the status of the synchronization

I want to sync my Voice Memos but iTunes 10.5 will not let me even with the "include voice memos" checkbox selected.

I want to sync my Voice Memos but iTunes 10.5 will not let me even with the "include voice memos" checkbox selected. As well Ive deselected all the music in itunes so when I sync there will be none on my phone but itunes also ignores this request and puts purchased music back on. I do not have autofill selected. Also wondering where the backup of my iphone 4s is located on my hard disk. Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

One of the computers that had our Itunes account on it crashed. We want to be able to add the account to our new computers and future computers but it shows that we have used 4 of 5 computers. Once we hit 5 are we out of luck or do they revolve?

This is not how it works.
You can only have a maximum of 5 computers Authorised at any one time.
If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five,
(Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)
Then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

If you can't perform an iCloud backup (which requires wifi), back up to your computer with iTunes. Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
To troubleshoot your wifi, try unplugging your wireless router for 15 seconds, the plug it back in. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings (note: this erases passwords for previously joined networks). Then rejoin your wifi and see if it works properly now.

Trying to set up Firefox Sync and it says my email address is already in use, but won't let me sign in.

I'm trying to Sync Firefox between my new Android phone with my Macbook Air. It tells me I need to create an account, but says my email address is already in use. So I try to put in the codes in the three boxes, and it leads me back to set up a new account. How can I reset this? How do I proceed?
Thank you for your help!

I have imported three gmail accounts into mac's mail client. can i do anything to distinguish between them? e.g., can i have each one appear in the mail list in a different color? I don't want to do it by sender, but by email account.

Press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
Note that deleting an app will delete all of its content as well
