My son got an iPod Touch for Christmas. &nbsp;During the setup process I used my AppleID to register it. &nbsp;Now I'm trying to set up Messaging using his email address (which is different than my AppleID) and it won't take. I get an error message of &quot;Unable to verify email because it is already in use.&quot;<br />
<br />
Now I setup his Email account first, so that took without an issue. &nbsp;Could the Email address be causing the conflict?<br />

Any help would be appreciated.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.
