My @me email can't be used for FaceTime or iMessage

So I just bought a new iPad yesterday and I'm trying to get iMessage and FaceTime to work but everytime I choose my @me email to be the email where people contact me it says "This email address cannot be used for FaceTime." It happens on my iPhone as well but not on Messages Beta on my Mac. What do I do?

Goto settings >facetime>add another email address do the same with imessage add another email address one thing i have picked up on discussions is for facetime to work goto settings>general>date time set auto on otherwise it wont work.

I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
You can't merge apple id.

As it seems Gmail doesn't accept kids email accounts, but hotmail and yahoo are said to do. I've not managed to set up one for my daughter though! good luck!

The email adresse that I used to create my Apple ID isn't good anymore. I tried to change it but the new one that I have can't be use for MobileMe ??? Any idea why ?

The email adresse that I used to create my Apple ID isn't good anymore. When I tried to use my new email, I have a message in my iphone saying that this apple id can't be use for Mobile Me. I use this email for some Apple training at my job.
Thanks

I found the above link helpful! Apparently the @me.com is a separate "apple id" ...pretty stupid - the whole reason I got the @me.com e-mail is I thought I would streamline everything into one....

ICloud email address can't be used for iMessage or FaceTime

When trying to add an @iCloud email address to the 'you can be reached at' list in iMessage/FaceTime I get an error message that says 'This email address cannot be used for iMessage'
The primary email address I use for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime is not an iCloud email address - would this make a difference?

Then it's probably an alias address. If you go to iCloud.com, launch Mail, click the gear icon on the lower left and choose preferences, then go to the accounts tab, you'll see your main address and any alias address you've created listed there (like the screenshot example below). You won't be able to use an alias for iMessage and FaceTime, you have to use your main @icloud.com email address or add another non-Apple email address that can be verified.

Photoshop cs2 student version, can it be used for commercial use?

Some years ago I bought an Adobe Photoshop cs2 student version. Can it be used for commercial use now?

Hi Bob,
Another guy posted on the thread:
"Yes, if you are in the United States. Maybe in other countries."
So if I am from Denmark, does the "Yes" still apply?

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?

Can iCloud be use for existing photo storage

can icloud be used for storage of all my existing photos as long as i buy the extra storage?

No. iCloud is not a backup and Photo Stream has 1000 photos and 1 month limitation.
You can use Dropbox app for that.

Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version?

Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version or do I have to get the Photoshop CS6 Extended normal (commercial) version? I want to make a game and I'll use things created in Photoshop, like images. And I'll sell this game, so I'll get money with it: it's something commercial. Do I have to get the commercial version for that or can I use a Student's one?
And can I make what I need to do in a trial version and then pay the license before selling the game or it's obligatory to have the license since the beggining?
See you!

You can start work on your game from the moment you download and complete the installation of the Trial version.
No-one will be standing over you watching what you do or monitoring you remotely or noting when you pay for the software.
You can buy the software at any time during the Trial period. However, after a maximum 30 days of using the Trial, you will have to pay to keep using the software.
Other than that, do what you like with the Trial.
(If you somehow finish the game after 20 days of using the Trial then you can start selling the game even if you have not yet purchased the software.)

Email address cannot be used for iMessage

Just set up an icloud email address for my daughter. I want her to be able to use that icloud email address to send iMessages to me or her mother using our iPads and iPhones.
I set up the icloud email address for her with no problem and am able to e-mail her with it and she is able to send emails back to me with it.
Went into Settings>Messages>Add Another Email. I typed in the icloud email address I set up for her and received the following error message:
"This email address cannot be used for iMessage."
I do not know why I received this error message. The icloud email account was set up.
I also went into the Messages app on my phone and sent a iMessage to the iCloud e-mail account and received a response that the message was delivered and Read!
If anyone has dealt with this issue before, please let me know what you think. Thank you!

So if I'm reading this right, you cannot assign multiple Apple IDs to iMessage on the same device? You have to log out of the first in order to use the second?
If this is true, does this work device to device? In other words, if she has access to an iPad and an iPhone, could you allow the iPhone to message and FaceTime through my daugther's new icloud email while the iPhone is still assigned to her mother's e-mail?
Or, is there a way to allow multiple apple IDs to iMessage and FaceTime on a sinle device WITHOUT having to disable one?
Thanks for the previous fast response and the future help.

I-tunes keeps saying that my card can't be used for payments in the uk.

After been away from I-tunes for over a year now, I have returned and attemptted to purchase music. I-tunes asked me to confirm my payment details but keeps stating that my card can't be used for payment in the uk. I've carefully checked the details several times, and use the card regularly on other sites. Thanks oin advance for the help.

This is probably a dumb question on my part, but you are in the UK iTunes Store and using a credit card issued by a UK bank with a UK billing address, yes? If not, tell us what country you're in and what country your card is from and billed to, and someone can probably steer you in the right direction or at least provide an explanation.
Regards.

HT4718 My copy of Lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation, what can i do?

when I launch Lion Recovery and try to reinstall the OS, there is a message that says that my copy of lion is damaged and can't be used for reinstallation. what can I do?

Sorry but that makes no sense.
The Lion install files are not stored on your computer so they can't be damaged. When using the Lion Recovery HD and you want to Re-Install Lion the install files are downloaded from the internet before the actual install begins.
If at one time you saved the Lion install files, secifically the InstallESD.DMG, and created your own Lion Install USB thumb drive and that is what you are booting from then this same type of thing has happened to me.
If you can't boot to the current Lion install, or you wiped your hard drive, you can try booting to the included Recovery HD and then download and install Lion or try the Online Internet Recovery HD system by holding down the Command+r keys OR the Command+Option+r keys when starting the system. One of those keyboard combos will take you to the online Lion Recovery system where you can download and install Lion.
