IOS5 iMessages won't allow me to register a second email address

I just installed pIOS 5 and have been trying to register a second email address in iMessages. When I do it returns an error saying the email address is already in use. Has anyone else had and solved the same problem?

Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

Won't allow me to register. Says email already exists but when I use Forgot PW it says no email act

Hello,
It may be that you have a SnapFish.com account. Alot of long time customers of HP have SnapFish.com accounts and do not realize it. One of the printer software releases signed customers up automatically, and most people did not know, or forgot, because they never used it. Try going to SnapFish.com and using the forgot password link at the log in screen there. Once you have the password reset, go to ePrintCenter.com and use the SnapFish.com log in information to log in. If that does not help you may need to contact SnapFish.com directly to have them delete the account, or use a different email to register with.

TS2755 My iMessage won't allow me to sign in

My iMessage won't allow me to sign in

What you could do is if you changed the date (I did and I just figured out the problem now), you have to change it back and it works!

If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it !

If my phone service is disconnected, can I still use the number to iMessage? Under my setting in iMessages it only allows me to select my linked emails and the telephone number is there but grayed out and i can't seletect it ! It wont activate. I just recentely got AT&T. When I had verizon before and my phone got disconnected it allowed me to still iMessage off my number.

If your phone service is disconnected, it's not your number any more.
If you "just got AT&T", how can it be disconnected?

Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian

We had a Ipad 1st generation IOS5. Added second email address for Messaging. Tested and message came from 1st email address. How do you get the second address to be the sender?

Have a 1st generation Ipad IOS5 and added a second email address for messaging. Tested sending a message to my Iphone and it was received as being sent by the first email address. How do you select the second email address as the sender of a message?

Hello slapshot13scotty,
The information below details where to adjust both where messages are sent from and received.
Receive iMessages using another email address:
Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Add Another Email.
Specify the phone number or Apple ID email address that appears in the “from” field when you start a new conversation:
Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.
Existing conversations aren’t affected when you change this setting.

Allow the user to add multiple email addresses in Email ID Field

In my jsp page, the funtionality i need to enhance is to allow the user to enter multiple email addresses in the "To" field of my Email A friend Task...right now it allows only one email id to be input by the user
Can anyone suggest me how to achieve it using javascript /jstl
Thanks in Advance

one more alternative is u can use : StringTokenizer class.
Code as follows: I hope this also helps u. But it will be used at server side. not at client side(for client side validations , we are using javascript).
java.util.StringTokenizer stringTokenizer=new java.util.StringTokenizer(request.getParameter("to"),",");
          String[] list=new String[stringTokenizer.countTokens()+1];
          int i=0;
          while(stringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
               list=stringTokenizer.nextToken();
               i++;

Skype name registered to my email address

There is a second Skype name registered to my email address that I didn't create. How can this happen? Can it be deleted? Has my account been compromised?

Please copy/paste the link below into the browser window of your choice to contact customer service about this issue:

IMHO, it can't hurt to change your password for the account that you can access, ASAP.

BB Travel on Q10 won't allow setup or change of e-mail address

After (re)installing BBTravel (several times), I still can't set up e-mail scanning. After agreeing to the legal agreement I see the [Login] and [Register] buttons for a split second before that screen is involuntarily pushed aside and I'm presented with a "Enable Trip Scanning" dialog box with [Disable] and [Enable] buttons. I click [Enable] and [Login] and [Register] reappear for a split second before again being pushed aside and told I don't have that feature enabled. In other words, I'm never given a chance to set up the very thing I'm told to set up. Under Settings for BBTravel (V3.1.1.2) it shows my work e-mail address but I can't edit or delete that field; ditto the first and last name fields (which are empty). The app has been granted access to everything under Setup - Application Permissions.
I had all this stuff working just fine under BB7, so it's not like this app is new to me. (Yes I know it's a complete rewrite of the old one and not a simple port.)

Note that I do not have the option to do Settings > Manage My Emails as per this Knowledge Base article. When I pull down the menu from the top and tap on the Setting gear I'm shown a few user settings I can change such as what units to use for temperature, but I can't add/modify/delete the e-mail field or the First Name and Last Name fields.

Trip Scan is a feature that will scan the associated emails that are registered with BlackBerry Travel for any existing trip itineraries. If itineraries are found, they will be added to BlackBerry Travel.
To enable Trip Scan, the following must be performed:
The Trip Scan feature must be enabled during initial login, registration or from the Settings menu in the application.
Allow BlackBerry Travel Permission to Email
Note:
BlackBerry Travel will only scan email accounts that have been registered with BlackBerry Travel on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
The BlackBerry ID email address will be automatically registered.
Additional accounts can be added through the BlackBerry Travel application, under Settings > Manage My Emails.

HT4623 Updating to new operating system, but the update is hanging up on "rescue email" despite thef act that this is supposed to be optional. The only option it seems to allow is that i furnish this email address, but then, once entered, i can't "next."

Updating to 7.02 and i have completed everything up to the rescue email address; however, the "next" option won't work and "back" simply deletes what i have added, but doesn't allow me to escape from the set up or move past what are supposed to be optional steps. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.

How do I register a new email address to my mail account?

Am in the process of getting new email addresses for a new company and want to receive these emails through mac mail not my yahoo account. How do I register them to "mail" on my mac book?

Mail > Preferences > Accounts - click on the [+] button at the bottom of the Accounts column then follow directions. Click on the (?) icon if you have questions.

My account ID is registered to an email address of a former employer. Is there a way to shift my purchases to a different account with a personal email address?

I made the unfortunate mistake of linking my apple ID to a work email address, which I obviously no longer have access to. I have another, personal apple ID registered to a personal email, but I don't want to re-purchase software. Is this possible?
