I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

  • I can't log into iMessage; I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use".

    I have iOS5 installed on my iPad and iPhone. I can't log into iMessage on my iPad as I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". Can anyone help me solve this?

    I've found the answer to this (at least for me)!
    The problem is I have 2 AppleIDs. One from before MobileMe which I use to make iTunes purchases (which is linked to my @me.com email) and the second is my MobileMe email address used for MobileMe syncing.
    Each AppleID has to be linked to a separate email address. Because my iTunes Apple ID is linked and verified to my @me.com address. My @me.com AppleID address can't be verified.....quite confusing at first but starts to make sense once you get your head around it!

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation and when i try to sign up for imessages or facetime it says that it is unable to verify email because it is already in use.  How do I fix this???

    If this is the problem following the instruction.  Frequently it is a hardware problem.
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    Otherwise try (assuming that other devices see your network)
    - A reset. Nothing wil be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power of and then back on your router.
    - Reset network settings: Settings>Genral>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    Ok, I will give it a second try.
    Thanks Rob.
    That was helpful.
    My question is: how do I register FaceTime with my primary email address, as it continues to fail registration.
    Having been informed your "primary email address... continues to fail registration", I don't know any way you will be able to use it to "register FaceTime."
    Try a different email address. If need be, create a separate iD that you will use only to activate FaceTime.
    Maybe the answer is: check primary address is verified in my Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    You may be right.
    That shows my primary address is used in verification of another account. But I am sure all my apple id's are not verified until today.
    So my next question is: how can my primary address have been verified for another account? How do I found that account.
    I do not know the answer to that question, and I don't think the answer would help you.
    Even if you knew how it was verified, you would still not be able to use it for FaceTime activation or your caller iD because the database has recorded it as already having been used for a different account.
    Unless you get a better suggestion, use a different email address with FaceTime.

    You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link.  Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

  • What can I do to get my ID to work.  The error code I get is Unable to verify email because it is already in use.  Where do I go to find out who or on what program it is being used?

    Christmas present a new ipad.  Refurbished.  I am not sure what the stats are.  All I do know is I sure could use some help and would be very appricative of it. 

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • "Failed to verify email..." Unable to verify email because it is already in use by another Apple ID.

    Isn't Messages Beta supposed to be everywhere you are? ie iPhone, MacBook Pro to iPad.  Why am I getting this error?  How would one correct the problem, to have Messages Beta everywhere?

    Use the same id you are using to log into these boards and set that ONE id up with all of your devices.
    Now, they should all sync. Make sure there are no other emails attached to recieve iMessages other then your one email.
    What I find the most useful is using the @me.com account you get with using iCloud.
    on ios: settings>messages>receive at and add your me.com account under your number.
    on osx, Messages>preferences>accounts>iMessages
    also do this with FaceTime. Make it the same email address as the rest.
    Now everyhting is synced!

    when i try and activate facetime it says "Unable to verify email because it is already in us. It obviously is in use as it is my email address do not get it

    Try signing out of FaceTime and turn it off in the settings. Restart the iPad, go back into FacetIme and turn it on again and then see if it will accept the email address.
    Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID, tap the ID and tap sign out. Turn off FaceTime. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Log back to Settings>FaceTime>On and try to sign in again.

  • I have several keynote presentations on my computer but now am getting the message that the program cannot be installed "because of a problem." All this started when I bought microsoft office for  University (2011). What is the problem and how can I fix

    I have several keynote presentations on my newish computer but am not unable to open them. I get the message "keynote cannot be installed because of a problem" (unspecified). Does anybody know why this happend? Does it related to using Microsoft "University"  2011? How can I fix it? Thanks!

    Thank you for your reply.
    I just tried the 3-step process suggested on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431353
    This all started when my mouse/thumb clicker was going crazy. Found an expanded battery. Obviously need a new battery. Unfortunately must wait 6 weeks to get my new battery. Meanwhile, I'm running my computer on AC only, as there appears to be no other option. I was informed that when using AC only (no battery) some high-energy-use programs like Office might not function.
    Do you know if there is away to use office even when just using AC and not having the battery in? I'm doubting if I have other OSX problems because everything else works: email, safari, itunes, iphoto, quicktime, etc . . . . ?
    ciao,
