Email account is in use on another device
My iPad 2 frequently gives me a popup indicating that it cannot get mail because the account is in use on another device. The email account is a pop account through yahoo/at&t. The account is set up on multiple devices, but I am unable to determine why that matters or how to solve the problem. I need the account to be set up on multiple devices, and this was never an issue until the latest iOS 4 version, which continues with iOS 5.
I've been having the same problem for quite some time, before updating to os5. I have an iPhone and iPad2 but I only have an email account set up on my iPad2 and I still get that message. I have never set up email on my iPhone and have double checked to make sure I didnt and had possible forgotten. If someone else were using my email I would have noticed because I check my email several times a day.

Emails won't load says account is being used on another device
when trying to access my emails it comes up with an error message saying account is being used on another device? Only started 24hrs ago?
If you believe that has happened, change your password. There's no way to verify that such has happened.

Your iCloud account is being used with another device (200+ iPads)
Hello!
I work at a school and currently manage 200+ iPads, we use 1 iCloud account to keep a track of them, I have all backup services switched off and they purely use it for the 'find my iPad/phone' section on iCloud.
However, since iOS 8, a lot of these iPads display the message 'Your device is currently also being used on device studentiPad001' then when a student presses ok, it will pop up again with another iPad name it is being used on, it won't list all iPads that it is currently on but it will repeat this for at least 3-5 minutes.
I thought this would only happen the once after the update but it just picks random times to do it and random iPads, I will soon have to remove the iCloud account from the iPads as it is becoming a massive inconvenience.
Are there any other ways I can physically track the iPads or get rid of this notification?
Thanks!Most likely, you're getting a network address from your router. The address assignment ("lease") expires, and has to be renewed, after a certain amount of time, which might be one hour or one day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device was offline at the time. Meanwhile, the address was leased to another device on the network. When the first device comes back online, it still has the address that's now also leased to the second device. Depending on what kind of router you have, the conflict may resolve itself automatically. If not, then from the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the TCP/IP tab. Now look at the menu labeled Configure IPv4. If the selection in that menu is Using DHCP, click the button labeled Renew DHCP Lease. Test.
Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself, and another device is assigning itself the same address. In that case, the selection in the Configure IPv4 menu will be either Manually or Using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict won't be resolved automatically. You have the following options to resolve it:
Change the menu selection to Using DHCP.
Change the manually-assigned address to one that isn't being used by another device.
Change the address of the other device.
Which of these options you should choose depends on the details of why you're using a static IP address. Any change you make to the network settings must be applied before it takes effect. To do that, click OK and then Apply. -
If I delete an iCloud account from my iPhone, will I still be able to use that account on another device?
Yes. It only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud. Other devices can still use the account without any issues.

What does 'account is in use on other device' mean ?
When attempting to access emails using Mail it responds with "this account is in use on another device. I also have a Samsung phone set up to receive emails. Any ideas ?
It means you are trying to connect to & use a POP3 email account with multiple devices at the same time.
POP3 email servers are designed to be accessed by only 1 device at a time.

Mail problem: "The account ___ is in use on another device."
Sometimes when I launch Mail it says "The account _ is in use on another device" with the blank being my email address. This is not consistent but it seems to happen (or I notice it more) when I have not launch the app in a little while. The only other "device" that could be putting my account "in use," I suppose, is my iMac when it fetches mail periodically but I can't believe that this is the cause because I never experienced this with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3). Any ideas what is causing this?
I have the exact same problem, only my iphone 3Gs did it prior to the upgrade also. the strange thing is that it does seem to still get messages so they appear, only more slowly than what they appear on the mac book.
if anyone has an answer would be great!!
cheers

Why is it, since the last iTunes update, I'm asked to update my billing information every time I try to download or update an app?
iTunes claims that my account has been used on another machine, but it's only running on my iPhone and my laptop as always.
Help. It's bugging me.Lt Chu
You can buy an iTunes card and redeem it at the on-line store.

Cannot get mail. Account in use on another device
AAll at once I receive the error message " cannot get mail. Account in use on another device" do you know how this can be as I have turned off all other devices that could have the account open.
Jack-
Just to be sure, change the password to your E-Mail account. After a few days you can change it back if the problem doesn't go away.

HT1430 receiving message "cannot get mail. account ... is in use on another device"
Phone does not receive email. Instead I receive message "cannot get mail. Account ... is in use on another device." No problem receiving mail on all other devices.
It is not a problem that is solvable by anyone. It is the way POP works. Set the polling time on your computer to 10 minutes or more and it will happen much less frequently. But it will still happen. Any time your phone tries to retrieve mail while your computer is actively retrieving mail you will get that message.
If your ISP does not offer IMAP service there isn't much you can do. Most don't BTW. I run a mail server that supports IMAP, and so does Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and Apple. But a lot of ISPs don't because either they want you to use webmail so they can track your usage or they don't like the fact that IMAP keeps the master copy of all mail on the server, so you will use much more storage than with POP.
One option is to get a gmail account and set it to retrieve your ISP mail. The read your mail with gmail. Google even lets you reply using your ISP's email address as the return address. -
I have 2 Itunes accounts, one I don't use with money in the account, can I combine that money or account into the account I currently use?
You can access, usually under the Apple (icon) menu in the main desktop
window, note item with name "About this Mac" & click on that, to see more
information about your computer, its OS X version, and other. The system
version and build model are there. Do not post a serial number.
If you are setting up Mail in a Mavericks OS X 10.9.x system, there often
is access to information in the Help viewer from the main menu bar, or
in an open mail application. If you have a Gmail or other account, that
info is often on their home page where setup and help are located.
The settings of each email account may vary according to their provider;
so you would have to change your computer to accept them. An older
link to a general look at that issue, change IMAP to POP, is covered here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16770816#16770816
While that may not answer your question, you could use the info in
your Mac OS X system Help viewer and use its search; or maybe
a Spotlight search to see an answer online.
You have to learn some basic things in order to actually use these...
and it helps to expand that so you won't have to pay for tech service
on things you can do yourself in a few minutes, beyond easy stuff.
Of course, you're hearing this from a guy with no ISP email, ever.
So mine are web-mail only; & I never save email to a computer.
PS: If you have a new Mac with an AppleCare plan, you may be able
contact Support for help. Ask someone (for 90 days, or up to 3 years
if the Plan was extended) there at AppleCare, for their guidance.

[HTML]SignTool Error: The file is being used by another process.
Hello,
I receive this error from building a JavaScript app on a build server:
SignTool Error: The file is being used by another process.
This reproduced when building on local machine, and goes away after building again. However, our company uses gated builds so the first failure will stop an entire 2.1 hour build and I can't ship the product.
The instruction to launch SignTool is located in external files so I can't disable it, run it twice, or run it in a while loop until succeeds, ignoring failures. I have to get it to work right the first time. I looked on MSDN, and there are other people
who had this problem and never solved it.

The only clue I have is our solution having build configurations that aren't called "Debug" and "Release", which have been cloned from Debug/Release and have WinRT apps building. If the build script for WinRT depends on anything being
called "Debug" and "Release" it wouldn't work correctly.
In any case, there is no documentation for SignTool that mentions this error - how do I fix it?Hi TripleRectified,
>> If the build script for WinRT depends on anything being called "Debug" and "Release" it wouldn't work correctly
What's you version of Visual Studio, on my side, in the Visual Studio 2013 Update 4, I created a new configuration(Copy Settings from "Debug") to build a WINJS project, but I can't see the exception you mentioned.
>>This reproduced when building on local machine, and goes away after building again
Does it happen on all local machines? We need to exclude environment facts first, for example: Tool, OS etc.

I'm unable to add the email address for iMessage, that I was using before iOS 7 to my iPhone, because it says that it is "in use by another device," but I have no other devices. How do I resolve this so I can add this email address to my iPhone to send and recieve iMessages?
Sync your iPhone to iTunes, and see if that does the trick. Also you could try a Soft Reset with no Risk to Data. Holding down both the Sleep button and the Home button until the Apple logo appears and then waiting for the Reset to bring you iPhone back to the lock screen. Are you trying to add the email at Settings>Messages>Send and Receive from (2 Addresses) your iPhone number and your email address?
