IMessage on iPad won't let me use any email address as it said the email is already in use

How do I use a current email address in iMessage on iPad to set up.

Mine is doing the same thing on my iPod. I haven't made an iMessage account...is someone using my e-mail for their iMessage? But lots of people have this problem.

Hi Barbara,
I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7, who like myself was a newbie on this platform, b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

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.

My ipad won't let me trash icloud emails - any ideas?

AAfter I have read my emails sent to my icloud addy Ion my ipad I am unable to trash them. A notice comes up saying can't trash. Any ideas why this is?

Copied from the link provided with my previous post.
iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, try the following:
Sign in to iMessage on your device using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with iMessage, other iMessage users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:

Ipad won't let me configure my email account as iMAP

This is a very strange one. For many years, I had my office email configured to both my iphone and my Ipad with no problems. All of the sudden, and without any change, it said that either the user id or password was wrong. Strange. I deleted the account, and tried to configure it again. It kept saying the same thing ... Until I configured ti as POP (with the same exact inputs!). The thing is ... It is a real hassle for me to use POP. So I tried again and again. Same result: Nothing. I reset my phone to factory settings. And did NOT configure it from back up. It worked! I had IMAP again! Sadly, it only lasted for about a week. Today, I had the same problem again. Any ideas?

I had the same trouble setting up my wife's SBCglobal (AT&T) account. I tried the steps above and couldn't figure out why I wasn't seeing the same entry fields.
I learned that you have to begin from MAIL>Add new account... menu and NOT from the System Preferences>Internet Accounts screen. System Preferences does not seem to allow you to add a POP3 account. You must do it from within the Mail client. I hope this helps someone else find their solution.
I still can't understand why this method is buried so deeply that Apple or AT&T don't document it. Thanks to this forum we can solve the problem and use the app like it should be used.

My iPhone 4S won't let me send any text messages, I can see the recent ones but when I go to type back the screen goes off and it goes back to the home screen?

I have had my iPhone 4S for a while and it's worked perfectly. Messages were going through fine and everything. I went on this morning as I had a text from someone. I opened the text and the screen just went back to the homepage. It has never done this before so I tried opening it again. The same happened again. I opened a recent text and I can read the old messages fine, it's just as soon as I click to message/text them back it just goes off.
I tried with Facebook mailing and the same happens, it just goes off. And when I go on safari and try and type something in it goes off.
I don't know what to do. I have tried turning it off and on and that didn't work. I have tried resetting network connections and I just don't know what to do. I am currently trying to software update to the iOS 7.0.4 to see if that has anything do with it. As before I clicked to text the person back a carrier question came up and it has come up before, could that have something to do with it?
Please can you help me?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Try each of these in order until the issue goes away.

Aol comes up with Bing and won't let me read any emails, the content of the inbox, sent, trash, etc shows nothing but a Bing icon

In AOL, when I try to read the content of mail received, sent, trash, etc. The content is not there. It is just a Bing Icon with Search the Web, enhanced by Bing! I can open my mail and see the content in Internet Explorer.

I just got my iPad and the iMessage was working and than all of a sudden it stopped and when I tired to log back in, it said I had a bad connection which I didn't. So it won't let me use my iMessage

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPad, and sign into your account again.
Hope this helps.

Just got my other new ipad yesterday and am setting it up. Wanting to use the same e-mail address but won't let me. Any idea's. We would like to be able to get into e-mails on both ipads. Thanks.

Just got my other ipad2 yesterday and would like to use the same e-mail that I use on the other one, but it won't let me. Any idea how to set that up. I thought you could have like 5 on one acct. Thanks.

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
