STILL! Still can't set up another email for iMessage/FaceTime!

*Yes. I will repost this discusion if it is sent to the second page with no reply or is replied to with an incorrect response.
I already have two iPhones and an iPod touch, and a Mac set up on my iTunes account. The iPod and Mac each have their own gmail account they use to recieve iMessages (one of them is my Apple ID). The two iPhones each have their own phone number they recieve iMessages from. I now want to set up an iPad on that same iTunes account with iMessage with a third gmail adress to use. When I try to set up iMessage, I am shown the two gmails and phone numbers from my other devices but no option to add another email like all the tutorials say. Is there a limit of 2 emails or something? There is no way I am making a new Apple ID just for iMessage. I tried to look for the option in Messages and Settings. Please tell me if there is a way I can add a third email.
No, there is no "Add account..." button like in the screenshot walkthroughs. Is there some kind of limit? Why won't it let me add another email?
10 points go to the first plausible answer!

You asked 3 or 4 times.  
You say you already set up the gmail account App, so you must have added this gmail already???  If you didn't you could not get mail in the App.
When you set up iMessage on the iPad, it must be set up with the unique gmail address.  There is no limit to email addresses.  I have 4 on mine in iMessage, all unique, one is my iCloud.

  • TS2621 Done everything and still can't set up my email account, what is wrong?

    How can I set up my e mail account if I only get the same message that the userID or my password ar wrong and they are not?

    Use the correct credentials. If you are sure they are correct, contact your e-mail provider for help. The problem is not on the phone unless you have set something up incorrectly. The mail server is rejecting the ID / password combination you supplied.

  • Using alternative email for iMessage & facetime

    Hi there.
    My apple id is *******@gmail.com
    I have been using my ******@me.com address for all my emails, imessage, and facetime.
    I am fully aware that apple will not let me change my apple id & primary address to me.com. So the ******@gmail.com is essentially a username.
    However for the past year or so i have had no issue at all using my ******@me.com address for signing into imessage & facetime.
    Today i cannot use my *******@me.com to sign into my factime or imessage.  It throws up and message saying "Error description not availible" when i try to sign into imessage or facetime.
    it only gives me the option to recieve at my ****@gmail.com adresses.
    It is to be noted that i can still sign into itunes etc. using *****@me.com as my apple id. also me ***@me.com emails work fine.
    So i went onto the edit my apple id page and signed in.
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    it looks like
    Apple ID & Primary Email address
    ********@gmail.com
    Alternate apple id
    *******@me.com
    Alternate email address
    NONE
    (i tried putting in my ***me.com and my ****@gmail.com addresess and it simply does not let me.
    Also i cannot get my new ****icloud.com address to work in anyway. Send, receive. Nothing. And yes i have added it to accounts etc.
    Your help would be much appreciated

    Does anyone have a solution? I have the same Problem here... I cannot add my @me Address for iMessage on any of my Device (Macbook Pro, iPhone, iPad). I always get the error message "Error description not availible".
    Pls Help!
    Thanks

  • HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for iMessage/Facetime that is not the same as my iCloud ID?

    I have one Apple ID for iCloud that is used on multiple devices. Each user has their own Apple ID for Store purchases.  Can I use my Apple ID that is NOT my iCloud ID as a way to get my iMessages/FaceTime on multiple devices?

    To clarify, we share an iPad (original iOS 5.1.1).
    When I use it, I would like to use my individual AppleID that I use for store purchases so I get MY iMessages on both my phone and the iPad.
    It seems to work when I use the iCloud Apple ID (meaning iMessages come through on both units) but when I try to set them both up using my store Apple ID, it doesn't work.
    Help?!?!

  • How can I set up another email client to send mail as my dotmac account?

    My business uses an online application that can send emails to our customers as long as we provide it with an email account. I used the following from my mail.app:
    SMTP HOST: smtp.mac.com
    SMTP PORT: 25
    SMTP_AUTH: true
    SMTP USER: cryogen (my dotmac account and email)
    SMTP PSWD: ****** (my dotmac password)
    But, I cannot seem to get this to work. I tried it with another account I have with COMCAST.NET and I was able to successfully send emails using that account.
    Is there something special about a dotmac account that I am missing?
    Thanks.

    The information you’ve provided now is what I was asking for. Unfortunately, it’s still insufficient. It’s critical to know here whether the SMTP server does actually accept or reject the request of the mail client to send the message. Any conventional mail client would allow you to know that. In Mail, for example, you know that the message has been sent because Mail puts it in the Sent mailbox (whether the message arrives at the destination is an entirely different issue). And if the SMTP server rejects the message for some reason, Mail will report what the reason is.
    Whether I’ve actually set up a different mail client to send with a .Mac account is irrelevant -- I don’t even have a .Mac account, for that matter, nor do I need one. Gee, if I needed to have the same accounts as the people I help, I couldn’t be here. Fortunately, I just need to know how email works and what the idiosyncrasies of some email services are, if any.
    Try setting up your .Mac account using a conventional alternative mail client, such as Thunderbird, and you’ll see that you can do that with no problems -- or, if you have problems, it should be pretty clear what they are exactly and how to fix them.

    How can I set up my email so when I delete mail from my Mac it deletes from my iPhone as well?

    That is a function of your email account, if it is an Imap account it will sync, if it's a POP account, it won't.

  • I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

    I can't set up my email on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account.  Help!

    Hi Annie,
    Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address.  If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up.  Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.
