Trying to set up sync. I'm told my email address is already in use. How do I get it accepted?

It is my valid email address at gmail. Why is it rejected and preventing me from setting up sync? I use Windows8 and Linux Mint.

Try to reset Lost or Forgotten Password or delete sync account:

    Millietrixie-
    Are you trying to call yourself to test FaceTime?  If so, you must have a second E-Mail address registered with your Apple ID.  In other words, there must be a different E-Mail address on each unit.

  • Trying to set up Firefox Sync and it says my email address is already in use, but won't let me sign in.

    I'm trying to Sync Firefox between my new Android phone with my Macbook Air. It tells me I need to create an account, but says my email address is already in use. So I try to put in the codes in the three boxes, and it leads me back to set up a new account. How can I reset this? How do I proceed?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi priceg924;
    I hope you are having a great day and sorry to learn that you are having this issue.
    Let's try this -
    To help you better I will need to know the following;  What printer do you have? Please include complete printel model.
    It may help later if you let me know what (OS) Operating system you are using.
    For a very complete list of troubleshooting steps in regards Eprint go to this article Click here.
    Before you try any troubleshooting steps do the following;  
    - Erase all cookies and browsing history.
    - Do not include signatures in your email.
    - Restart the computer.
    I will also take the following general steps to ensure that this is not creating an issue.
    - Set an Static IP address to the printer. Depending on your printer model will be the procedure to do this.
    - Use Google public DNS servers which are 8.8.8.8 and alternate Server is 8.8.4.4 the way you set this is
    Also this is what I heard from other members of the forum.
    I heard here (other members of the community) that there is an issue that engineer are working on diligently that may be affecting this particular process. At the same time I know that other members have some success using this steps aforementioned.

    Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • During setup sync tells me my email address is already in use and won't let me go any further. I only have one email and don't want to setup another. How do I setup sync?

    I can log into the sync account management with this URL https://account.services.mozilla.com and nothing is listed. When I go to the Sync tab within the preferences window, only two options are listed: Setup a New Account and or Pair a Device. Setting up an account doesn't allow me to use the email address I would like to, saying the email is already in use. I can't "pair a device" because the computer I'm trying to "pair" is my main computer (laptop). I used sync way back when it first came out and it seems as though there are new requirements (legal and otherwise) requiring me to setup a new account. How do I setup and use sync with the email address I have in place already without having to use another email address?

    There was a major change in Sync services back in Dec 2010, but nothing w9th regards to the Username / email address and Password since that time.
    Use this to reset your Sync Password if you can't remember it, for an existing account. <br />
    https://services.mozilla.com/reset-password/
    What ever you may have stored on the Sync Server will be erased so you will be starting with with new data in the system.

  • I want to sync Windows laptop to Android. My email address is 'already in use' but i have no account details. how can i see/change them?

    Firefox > Set up sync > create an account - this screen tells me my username/email is already in use. i have reset the password but now need my recovery key. I have no idea what this is as i do not remember setting up an account in the past.

    hello aaronmcl4, go to ''firefox > sync > setup sync > i have an account > i don't have the device with me'', fill in your account name and password and click on "i have lost my other device" in order to initiate a reset of the recovery key.

  • My problem is, sync encountered an error while connecting: unknown error please retry preferences. I tried to resync, but my email address was already synced. Help!

    The above just started happening yesterday, I click it off and it pops back up again. Today, I tried to set-up sync and it showed my email already existed.
    I have problem number 2, which has been going on for sometime now, "we noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click o.k. to reload your page. Today, I went to file and clicked exit and restart Firefox and the same thing happened. Please help me!

    I had the same error,
    I accidentally saved the password server XXXX.services.mozilla.com
    Once the password unregistered, synchronization started to operate.
    for more logs, we can look at the variables in about: config and doing a search services.sync
    services.sync.lastSync may be useful to track the status of the synchronization

    Hi all,
    I tried this and it worked:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password you used when creating the account.
    4) Change the email address associated with your account.
    5) Send new verification email
    I also got this from apple CS for other things to try:
    Please follow these steps to access your Apple ID accountinformation:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password youused when creating the account.
    4) Delete any duplicate email addresses associated withyour account.
    5) Click the Save Changes button.
    If you do not have duplicate email addresses on your account, it is possible that your email address is already being used withanother Apple ID. In order to verify your email address with the current AppleID, it will need to be disassociated from your other Apple ID. You can do thatby following these steps:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Log in with your other Apple ID and password.
    3) Select the Manage your account link.
    4) Choose Name, ID, and Email Address from the left sideof the page.
    5) Next to Primary Email Address, select Edit so that youcan change the email address associated with this Apple ID.
    6) Once you've made the desired change, select SaveChanges.
    7) Choose Sign Out from the top right of the page.
    If you would like to have the verification email resentto you, please sign into https://appleid.apple.com/with the Apple ID you want to verify, and make sure there is not a typo in yourPrimary Email Address. Select the "Edit" link to the right of your email address to make corrections and then click the "Save Changes" button.Once the typo is fixed, or if there is no typo, click the "Resend"link under your email address.
    If you still do not receive the verification email,please reply to this email with the email address that you intend to use onyour Apple ID.
    Good luck!

  • I am trying to set up sync on my desktop, so I can sync my ipad. When I enter my email address, it says unknown error. I've tried several email addresses.

    When trying to set up a sync account, the first thing I have to do is enter my email address. When I begin typing that, I get an "invalid email address" just below it. I understand this is because I haven't finished typing it. Once I finish typing the full address it, the error message changes to "unknown error". I have tried several different email addresses and each time I get the same message. I want to sync my ipad to the desktop.

    Which version of firefox are you using? Please update to the latest version if you have not already.
    Also are you putting capital letters into the email field? Try using all lower case.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.
