Lion FaceTime says email already in use

Hello,
When I start my Facetime in Lion it askes for my user name and password, so I put in my apple id and password.  It then takes me to a screen that says "people will call you using your email, please enter your email below"  so I enter the email that is associated with my apple id and the programs says " this email is already in use by another apple account"
Its the correct email, so is this some kinda bug

Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences delete this file:
com.apple.facetime.plist
Restart Facetime

  • I want to create a new apple id with another email, It says email already in use...

    I want to create a new apple id with another email, It says email already in use, but there is no account with that email( i use it for facetime and get apple offers) What do i do?

    You can check to see if it is associated with one of your IDs by following this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, and entering the email address at step 2 to see if it finds an ID owned by you.  If it doesn't, contact the Apple account security team and have them check into it by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Apple ID account security.

  • When I try to det up a sync account it says "email already in use"but I don't have an account

    I went to "Tools", then "set up sync", then "create a new account". I try to type in my email address and it says "already in use". I dont have a sync account. How could it be "in use"

    Hi,
    This specific [https://account.services.mozilla.com/forgot link] should help you. Just enter your email address and you would receive a message with the information required to reset completely your account so you can start fresh. There's no need to create a new email account. Just make sure that no one is using that account, because any data already stored in the system will be erased.
    Let me know if you need any extra information.

  • I want to change my primary email on Apple ID... but it says I can't use email already in use but its not my alternative email - it may have been in the past - any ideas?

    I don't believe Apple lets you delete old accounts. They also will not let you merge them.

    That error message means that your email address is already associated with another Apple ID. It could be tied to GameCenter, iTunes Store, or another Apple ID.

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

    Just got a new HP Officejet Pro 8600.
    Want to ePrint, but need acct.
    Won't let me register as NEW acct saying I already have an acct.
    When I use my ONLY email, it says, not recognized.
    Vicious circle.  HELP.  Tx

    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.

  • Imessages email already in use

    iMessages worked, but i went into it a few weeks back and it needed to be reinstalled. Everytime I put in an email adress, it says 'email is already in use'.
    I don't exactly want to create another email just for this.
    Any suggestions?

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

  • Can't Create Account - Email Already in Use

    Hi there,
    I have my original SCN profile which is not linked to an S-Number. We then became an SAP partner, and I received an S-Number for this which is linked to the same email address as used in my original SCN profile. When I try to view restricted partner content, I need to log in with my S-User, but then it tries to create a new SCN profile for me and gives an error that the email address is already in use.
    I then went to the original profile and changed my email address to another one. I then tried to create a profile for the S-Number, but it still says that the email address is in use.
    I understand that you cannot merge profiles, but please let me know how I can get a seconds profile working that is linked to my S-Number?
    Thanks
    David

  • Apple ID email already in Use

    When I try to set up a new apple ID, it asked for a non-apple domain email account.  When I try to use my email address, it says it's already assocaited with another account.  My email address is very unique and I doubt anyone else knows to use it.  When I try to search for it using look up apple ID, it can't find any apple ID associated with that email.  So I'm stuck...why does it say its in use, but when I search for it, it can't find it?

    Hi robosalsa,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the email address you are trying to set up and use as an Apple ID may be associated with another Apple ID as an additional or recovery email address. You can navigate to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your existing Apple ID to check the additional email addresses and remove them. Please use the attached discussion as a reference.

  • Email already in use, use another email address

    I can't log on as the message i get is that the emai address is already in use and to use another one! The email address i'm trying to use is mine!!! How do I get around this issue?

    you're welcome.
    where was the login problem and how did you resolve it?

  • Email already in use

    for a firefox sync account that had stopped working (dont know why and got fed up trying to fix) so i deleted the account in the hope of setting up a new one from scratch that will work. however when setting up im told "that email address is already in use" so i cant use it!!!
    is there anything i can possibly do about this?

    yes but its a frankly unacceptable solution.
    just what was the point of deleting the account in the first place to rectify the problem of yours useless sync system deciding my password was wrong for no reason then refusing to allow me any way to reset it.
    its like you actively are trying to make users move to chrome. you seem to spend all your time making firefox look and act ever more like chrome but with none of the speed or polish. for F's sake if i wanted chrome id bloody use it.
