"Unable to verify email because it is already in use" 6 posts MightySpoon Ars Legatus Legionis Registered: Nov 18, 2001Posts: 21885 Posted: already in Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:35 pm Anyone have insight into this?Situation:mygmail@gmail.com -- Main AppleID, iTunes account, etc. myicloud@me.com -- iCloud née MobileMeMy iPad and iPhone are setup thusly -- myicloud@me.com for iCloud and mygmail@gmail.com for iTunes store, App Store, etc.I would like to standardize my iMessage to my phone number and my mygmail@gmail.com account. mygmail@gmail.com is my main contact and I'd like to receive those iMessages on my iPad and iPhone. The problem is that iMessage has autofilled myicloud@me.com and already in use I can't remove it. Which is fine, in theory, because you can add another address for which to receive messages. However, when I add mygmail@gmail.com and try to Verify, it returns the error message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use"I've checked http://appleid.apple.com and mygmail@gmail.com is obviously a "verified" AppleID, which I've used for years for purchasing from iTMS. On a lark, I thought maybe I could add it as an alt or even main for myicloud@me.com. However, AppleID won't let me because it's verified for mygmail@gmail.com. For shits, I turned mygmail@gmail.com into an iCloud account but that didn't fix it as far as I can tell. Since my existing @me.com account has 25 GB of MM space grandfathered in for the year (apparently), I'd rather not just dump it. Anyone encountered and/or solved this? Googling indicates a similar error for folks during the FaceTime beta era but I don't really see any reason why this error is happening. terafin Seniorius Lurkius Tribus: Cupertino Registered: Feb 7, 2005Posts: 7 Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:38 pm You can only use one Apple ID for iMessage at a time. I think you'll need to merge these Apple IDs for it to work MightySpoon Ars Legatus Legionis Registered: Nov 18, 2001Posts: 21885 Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:44 pm Thanks, I'll go ahead and mergOHTHATSRIGHTAPPLE hoytt Smack-Fu Master, in training Tribus: 15 leuga north of

How can I set it up? up vote 1 down vote favorite A little over month ago I received an email from the Russian Apple website, asking me to confirm my email to complete the registration of my Apple ID. I am thinking someone possibly used my email by mistake. I did not click the authentication link. The message stated that if it wasn't me who registered, I shouldn't worry. However, now I am trying to create an Apple ID but I get the error message: "Email already in use" I have never registered for an Apple ID with my email address. Resetting the password through email authentication does not send me any email.
