Facetime & iMessage won't verify email

My gmail account won't verify either in settings or when I access my Apple ID. This was fine until IOS7 upgrade.

Cancel the above reply as my mb pro settings are now constantly trying to verify my gmail address in Facetime & imessage. I cannot get apple to verify my gmail address in my account settings even though it is set as my recovery address. My Apple ID is a different address which is how I want it. Is this a google v apple problem?

I'm stuck on activation for imessage, I sign in but when it goes to verify email it gets stuck. The situation now is that the email verification screen for iMessages is not letting me access my regular msgs. Imessage has blocked my regular messages. I can only see msgs in notifications. Even in contacts the option for message contact has vanished. The phone is just stuck on the verify email screen and my mail is already verified by appleid. iv tried multiple working iTunes accounts but still no go.

Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email. It has said "Verifyng" since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I checked my iCloud settings for that email address and it shows "pending".

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome. I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending". When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".

HT3529 I can't set up my imessage or facetime with my email because it says "Unable to verify email because it is already in use" which it was with my old ipod but how do i reset it or whatever so that it works with my current ipod?

I can't set up my imessage or facetime with my email because it says "Unable to verify email because it is already in use" which it was with my old ipod but how do i reset it or whatever so that it works with my current ipod?

Try here:
iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'

I can't log into iMessage; I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use".

I have iOS5 installed on my iPad and iPhone. I can't log into iMessage on my iPad as I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". Can anyone help me solve this?

I've found the answer to this (at least for me)!
The problem is I have 2 AppleIDs. One from before MobileMe which I use to make iTunes purchases (which is linked to my @me.com email) and the second is my MobileMe email address used for MobileMe syncing.
Each AppleID has to be linked to a separate email address. Because my iTunes Apple ID is linked and verified to my @me.com address. My @me.com AppleID address can't be verified.....quite confusing at first but starts to make sense once you get your head around it!
See this thread for futher explanation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16414211#16414211

Facetime and imessage for itouch - "Unable to verify email because it is already in use."

I just erased all data on my itouch, reseted it, and set up a new account on itunes to sync. But when I added my email to facetime and imessage, it said "Unable to verify email because it is already in use.". I don't know how to separate it from the previous itouch account.
this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3510 told me to log on to apple id and unlink but i cant figure out how
especially since i synced a new account onto my itouch
Help! TIA XP

Ok, I will give it a second try.
Thanks Rob.
That was helpful.
My question is: how do I register FaceTime with my primary email address, as it continues to fail registration.
Having been informed your "primary email address... continues to fail registration", I don't know any way you will be able to use it to "register FaceTime."
Try a different email address. If need be, create a separate iD that you will use only to activate FaceTime.
Maybe the answer is: check primary address is verified in my Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
You may be right.
That shows my primary address is used in verification of another account. But I am sure all my apple id's are not verified until today.
So my next question is: how can my primary address have been verified for another account? How do I found that account.
I do not know the answer to that question, and I don't think the answer would help you.
Even if you knew how it was verified, you would still not be able to use it for FaceTime activation or your caller iD because the database has recorded it as already having been used for a different account.
Unless you get a better suggestion, use a different email address with FaceTime.

Otherwise try (assuming that other devices see your network)

IMessage activation on iPad - unable to verify email

I have just upgraded iOS on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 1. iMessage on the iPhone is working fine. When I try to activate it on the iPad, I've been getting the error message: "Unable to verify email because it is already in use."
When I first started the iPad after upgrading the iOS, I entered the Apple ID/password combo that I have used for my iPhone (which is the same as my MobileMe ID/PW). This is the only ID/PW that I have been using with Apple. I was under the impression that you could use the same email address for both devices.
Would someone kindly advise. How can I set up iMessage on the iPad? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Sorry never mind, my mistake!
Have 2 apple id's, and was using the wrong one!

IMessage will not verify my number, messages show up as my email

This problem is very frustrating. iMessage will not verify my number and when I send messages with iMessage on, many people I text say my contact comes through as my email. I've tried basically every suggestion I could find. Verizon was no help and neither was apple support. I saw someone said if your number is unique that may be a cause. My number does have 4 0's in a row in it, but I don't see how that could be a problem. Please help!

I have 4 x 0's in my number and have the same problem. I can send iMessages but not sms messages. I swapped sim cards and my phone then started semding message ok but the phone i put my sim card into stopped sending messages. Apple engineers tell me it is a network carrier problem. Optus tell me it's an apple iPhone problem. Seems the only solution will be changing phone numbers.

TS4268 imessage activation is "unable to verify email because it is already in use"

I lost an Ipod and am trying to set up a new ipod. The imessage activation is "unable to verify email because it is already in use" is there anything I can do or do i need to ditch that email and set up a new email
I don't know why this would be a problem since i should be able to receive email on multiple devices if desired

That means that someone (If not that you forget) already registered and Apple account with that e-mail, You need another New (Never Registered) e-mail in order to create another account.
