Online number already used by someone else

Hello, I am in New Zealand. I purchased an online number and when I did a test call, I realised it is assigned to someone else who previously used skype but has now transferred it to another SIP service. Can anyone help?

Let me guess, no one answered to you? I have the same problem, no answer....

HT4864 Why did Apple give me an iCloud address which is already used by someone else?

Hi.
Just set up my iCloud account and was given the [email protected] by default. I thought I would try and test this address and sent a few emails to it. As time went by I was still waiting to see these test emails and still received nothing. The next day I receive an email from a person with the same icloud address that I was given, telling me that he has this already!
Rather confusing so I have had to set up an alias to get round the problem. Question is as my title says...why give me this address in the first place?
Comments appreciated...

Look at the source of some of those messages (View/Message/Raw Source). It might give you a better idea about where they originated and where they've been. If it looks like they are originating from your computer, you might have a problem.
It is a simple matter to spoof someone else's email address or use a fake email address. I've received spam that was ostensibly from myself and I am always receiving spam from random but real-looking email addresses. If a rejection is sent to the "originating" email address, I imagine that would go to the spoofed address.

Hi Mahmoudmuhmd,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The telephone number on your Apple ID is tied to iMessages. You may need to change the password for your Apple ID account to prevent others from using it. Here are some articles that will help with this:

I am trying to set up a new Apple ID for my 2 sons. It says that both of their emails are already in use for someone else Apple ID. They don't have other emails. What do I do?

Apple ID already in use by someone else.

Cara,
If those email addresses are already in use somewhere else, you can get new email addresses for your kids. You can do this via your ISP, or by one of the free email services such as hotmail, yahoo, or gmail.

Bought Skype Number, but goes to someone else?

I just got assigned a skype number, and I sent an SMS to it to verify it was working. Instead of receiving it somewhere in my Skype account, someone responds asking who I am.
Apparently Skype sold me a phone number that's in use by someone else already? What the hell, and how do I resolve this?

I am totally frustrated by the fact that now i have gone to iCloud and after a few synchs, my contacts are all mixed up with the wrong information. For instance, my email and phone number comes up under someone else's name (a thousand contacts)

An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user. If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

Remote speaker being used by someone else

Using iTunes 10.0.1.22 on Windows XP. Have Airport Express hooked up and am using the latest updates to AE. Was able to connect iTunes to AE just fine until I updated iTunes to 10.0.1.22. Now, I keep getting the error message "the remote speaker is currently being used by someone else. please select another speaker from the bottom of the iTunes window." I don't have another speaker, just Computer and the AE (which is connected to a receiver connected to speakers). I was able to listen to my iTunes library thru iTunes or Pandora with AE. I can still listen to Pandora, but every single time I try to listen to iTunes I get the same error message. I've been debugging this for 2 weeks to no avail. I've contacted RogueAmoeba and they have been great trying to help, but nothing works. I'm beginning to think this is an Apple/iTunes problem/bug.
In iTunes-Preferences-Devices, I do have "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay" checked and "Allow iTunes control from remote speakers" checked which is supposed to allow you to control iTunes with a third-party remote connected to AirPort Express. I admit I'm not sure I understand Airplay and how it works or not works with Airport Express. I'm connected wireless to AE and my computer.
Any ideas what's wrong...this is driving me nuts and I miss my music!
Thanks!

Then in that case since you get audio when the Apple TV is used with other devices I have to assume the problem lies with the receiver and with a little luck is nothing more than a setting.
The message about the speaker being used by someone else is interesting and possibly related possibly not. That message will appear if the Apple TV is already playing something and you try to play something else by Airplay. I assume when the Apple Tv is connected to your receiver you receive the message all the time, even if you play something from the Apple TV and let it finish. What about when you connect the Apple TV to another device, under what circumstances do you get the message then.

HT204291 Error Message: "airplay tv is in use by someone else" Please help?

I.m trying to use Airplay Mirroring to stream content from my iPad 2 to my HDTV.
Already using Airplay TV successfully to stream content from my iTunes library using the Remote control but now I want to add my iOS devices but I'm getting the following conflict / error message when I try to turn mirroring on on my iPad 2:

Please help?

Set a password by using the "Airport Utility", then it will work again.

Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails.

Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

Airtunes speakers "being used by someone else"

Hello. I have an Airport Extreme running a WDS, and an Airport Express as a remote basestation on that network. Everything works fine, except that, as of last week, choosing the Express' remote speakers in iTunes results in the message that they are "being used by someone else."
I have tried everything I have read in the forum, to no avail. My firmware is up to date. I have the latest iTunes (6.0.1). I'm running 10.4.2. I have set the Express back to factory default, and set it up again fresh. I have renamed the Airtunes speakers. Nothing does any good.
The story is this: a couple of weeks ago, our receiver blew out, and we took our system apart for repair. At that time, Airtunes was working perfectly. We got the receiver back, fixed, and reinstalled everything this past weekend. Airtunes gives me this error now. We have a TiVo Series 2 box plugged in to the Ethernet port of the Express, and it is networking fine. I have not installed the TiVo Desktop software, so my Mac running iTunes should not be confused about where it is sending audio.
My only thought is this: Airtunes settings include the checkbox to enable Airtunes over Ethernet. This choice, while enabled, is also grayed out, so I can't turn it off (I'm told this is part of the WDS or something?) Could the Express be confused, with something plugged into the Ethernet port, thinking that this is using the speaker setup?
I tried running iTunes with the TiVo unhooked from the Ethernet port, in fact, I tried it right after factory resetting the Express (I never plugged the Ethernet jack in) but it still gave me the "being used by someone else" error.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Danny.

Henry,
Well, I am glad to hear that it isn't the settings, nor the TiVo plugged in. But that does leave me in a state of limbo, eh? To reiterate, I have restarted the iTunes running Mac (we also have an iBook, but it has been shut down for all these tests), and I did factory reset the Express.
Would it help to factory reset the Extreme? I wouldn't think so, it having nothing to do with Airtunes... but I'll try anything.
I've seen in other threads that iTunes 5 appeared to produce this effect for some people... (though the majority of them were streaming fine and then would suddenly lose their speakers, whereas mine never make an initial connection...) could it be that iTunes 6 and 6.0.1 are doing it to me? There was no posted resolution for those other people, so I don't know if they had their issue solved.
Still tuneless,
Danny.

My Pin is locked and it's being used by someone else!

Hi,
I'm from Venezuela and I bought my Blackberry Curve 8320 through Amazon last week.
When I was trying to activate my BB services here in Venezuela they found out that the pin is being used by someone else in USA with TMobile. How can this be possible?
I called TMobile and they are not able to do anything.
Who can help me to release my pin so I can use it here in Venezuela?

did you buy the device at Amazon or at Amazon MarketPlace? I think you bought a used phone at the MarketPlace. You have to contact the seller and tell them to call T-Mobile to have the PIN released.

Error : "Airport Expess" is currently being used by someone else. Please select another device from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
Please help me with this issue.
I have iTunes constantly throwing this error whenever I try to stream to my AirPort Express.
it is frustrating not getting any answer from Apple.
They just ignore those of us having the same problem
Thanks
Luis

Replaying to myself, I found what was causing the problem.
I have an Ubuntu machine and I was making some test to stream to Airport Express from Ubuntu.
Under Pulseaudio preferneces I had checked "Make discoverable Apple Airtunes sound devices available locally" for tests some months ago.
Unchecking it solves the problem.

"The remote speaker ... is currently being used by someone else."

I hope someone can tell me the preferred way to get passed this message in respect to connecting to ATV speakers via iTunes on the computer.
I want to use multiple speakers via iTunes in my computer.
But when I try to connect to the speakers assigned to the ATV, I get the above "The remote speaker [name] is currently being used by someone else" message.
What do I need to do (in the ATV) to make the speakers accessible when this happens?

have you tried the obvious things first like restarting both the appletv and itunes ?

AE used by someone else with 5.0

Still no solution for me...
Uploaded 5.0 and now my AE is "being used by someone else" which is not possible.
worked fine with 4.9
can someone show me a link to revert back to 4.9!!
thanks

I think there is at least one discussion in the iTunes for Windows forum on the topic of uninstalling iTunes 5.0 and where to obtain a copy of 4.9 to reinstall.
