IMessage returns error message when verifying - says it's already in use but can't use it...

It verified another Apple ID I use for iTunes and an AOL address (but not sure they're working).
In addition, i cant seem to register my iPhone number...is there an option for that? If so how do I do it?
TIA and sincerely,
Susie

That usually means it's associated with another ID or used somewhere else.

    I'd stay away from disk warrior etc. Try disk utility.
    DiskWarrior is not a disk repair program in the conventional sense. Instead of patching the original directory, it uses a patent-pending technology to quickly build a new replacement directory using data recovered from the original directory, thereby recovering files and folders that you thought were lost and that no other program could recover.
    I've never had trouble with Journaled HFS+ volumes but if I did I try disk utility to repair. Then run fsck from single-user-mode. Then, if that failed I'd pull my data off and erase.
    I've never had any persistent luck with norton type utilities, the problems always come back until I erase.

  • Getting error message when trying to add apple id to facetime and imessage, getting error message when trying to add apple id to facetime and imessage

    When I try to add my Apple ID to Facetime or iMessage, I get an error message "username or password is incorrect " even though its the same username and password I use for everything else.
    anyone else getting this problem?

    The Order has got 5 lines. First 4 lines are product lines and the 5th line is a service.
    We have a customized form called mass order change which will bring only the product lines when we query a order. We usually do the mass update of shceduling date
    and promise date in that form for all the order lines or for some perticular lines in that order.
    For one order when i tried to update the scheduling date and promise date its showing this message. Not sure why??.. i have checked the form logic and the package which this form is using but all of them are calling the standard API process_order to change the sales order. I found out that This message is a standard Oracle message : OE_SCH_OVER_ATP_NO_SCH_ACT. I tried to find this message in process_order API but could'nt find this message. status of these 4 lines are : Awaiting Shipping
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Getting a "Return" error message when compiling

    I have the following code below that works when I don't use any methods.
    When I insert the side method(), I always get an error message "missing return statement".
    I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
    It runs fine as it is but I am trying to modify it by using separate methods (just to learn how to use and call methods).
    I am trying to replace what I have in the main method in separate method called "side".
    Here is the code
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Round
    private String output = "";
        //message error occurs when this method is added;   
       public String side()
             for (int row  = 1; row <=5 ; row ++)
               if (row == 1 || row == 5)
                return output += "      * *  \n"; 
        public static void main(String args[])
            String output = "";
      //the for loop (before the else) is copied into the side method. 
             for (int row  = 1; row <=5 ; row ++)
               if (row == 1 || row == 5)
                 output += "      * *  \n"; 
               else
                 if (row == 2 || row ==4)
                 output += " *           * \n"; 
               else                     
                 output += "*              *\n";
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,output); 
            System.exit(0);
    }Thanks for your help.

    I did as you suggested and still get the same results.
    I also tried using on one return statement after the for loop but still got an error message.
    Do you know how I can fix this?
    thanks

  • Error message when syncing says I'm not authorized to play the songs

    I connected my nano to my laptop via USB port to recharge the nano. The songs normally automatically sync at the same time, no problem, but this time I got an error message saying it couldn't sync some songs because I'm "not authorized to play them on this computer." What should I do (or have done) differently?
    2GB   Windows XP Pro  

    Play one of the songs on your computer or use the Authorize Computer command from the Store menu in iTunes; this will authorize your computer to play the music and transfer it to your iPod.

  • I get error messages when I try to visit certain websites using Mozilla Firefox but not when I use other browsers

    About two days ago I noticed that when I tried to access certain websites using Firefox I always got this error message; "The connection was reset". I initially thought it was a problem with my isp before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and iPad. I then attempted opening the same links that brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.
    Basically the only website that works on my Firefox browser right now is Google but if I do a search on Google and then click on any link that comes up as a result I get the same error message, "The connection was reset". I can also log into my gmail account but I cannot access any other website including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.
    I cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all the browsing history but the problem persisted so I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled it. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a&as=aaq and still nothing. I am not sure what the problem is here but any solution will be much appreciated. I have used Firefox for years now and I am not really comfortable using another browser.
    I use a Macbook OS X Version 10.9.4 and the latest Firefox 32.0.1

  • Error message when I try to copy and paste using mouse

    I am taking college classes online. When I try to copy and paste something using the right mouse button I keep getting error messages that something is blocked on my browser, and cannot copy and paste. When I use ctrl A ctrl C ctrl V everything works fine, but I don't always want to copy everything. How can I fix this because its starting to be a hassle.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Time Machine error message: The backup disk image is already in use.

    I'm not very tech-savvy and certainly don't know my way around the Mac that well. Any suggestions as to how I go about solving this?

  • Error message when verifying disc

    Toast has stopped burning properly so I tried repairing the disc permissions (which went fine) but then, when I tried to verify the disc I got the message, "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit".
    I've tried restarting from the Install disc and running the Apple Hardware Test, but that found nothing.
    When I run the verification, it finds minor repair needed to the volume bitmap, and then it states, "Invalid volume free block count".
    This is what it reads:
    Invalid volume free block count
    Invalid volume free block count
    uld be %@ instead of %@)",2)
