How do I 'disasscociate' an e-mail address from an existing Apple ID so that that e-mail can be used to create a new separate Apple ID

My wife and I currently share an Apple ID (it's a long story). The Apple ID we use is actually mine and uses my e-mail address as the ID itself. I have been trying to create a new Apple ID for my wife but everytime I get an error message that states: 'that e-mail is already associated with another Apple ID.' What exactly do I have to do to remove her e-mail from being associated with my Apple ID so that I can create a new Apple ID for her?

Make sure her email address is not set as an alternate for your AppleID.
Then again, you don't know if it is associated with your AppleID.
Also, any chance she created an AppleID at one time and simply never used it/forgot about it?
Go here -> https://appleid.apple.com/ and select Forgot your password?
and enter her email address that shows it is in use.

    How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud account?  I curently only use one of the three.

    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud account.  If you want, you can add up to 3 alias addresses that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

    How does one remove temporary files from Safari?  A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6.  Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer.  When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button.  I do not have a Facebook account.  It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this.  Are temporary files the same as the cache?  It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache.  How do I do that?

    Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

  • How do i remove my e mail address from my i message

    Can anyone tell me how I can remove my e mail address from my i mail, was notified by friends that everytime I i mail them my full e mail address shows instead of my name as usual?????
    Hope somebody can help

    Perhaps I don't understand your question.  Above you mention "i mail"; I'm assuming you meant "iMessage".  If that is want you meant, then have you turned iMessage to On in Settings>Messages?  And if so, does it say anything just below the iMessage On/Off button (such as "waiting for activation")?

  • How do I remove e-mail addresses from a csv file referencing a numbers doc

    Greetings! I hope someone out there can help me. I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to numbers...
    My Issue:
    I'm attempting to sending out a large e-mail blast via software called hoolie, it seems to be working amazingly well except for the fact that I've reached our Gmail accounts daily limit which I had zero idea existed.
    So about 1100 emails were sent and I still have to send about 1500 emails left to be sent. The software has no ability to resend to the failed e-mail addresses, so I'm left to my own devices...
    My Goal:
    I want to be able to subtract out the 1100 e-mail address from the csv file I have with all the addresses. Once I subtract out the e-mail addresses I can then resend the blast and throttle it so it takes a day or so and won't freak out google gmail...
    How can I accomplish this? I have the orginal CSV file with all the names and e-mail addresses and I have a new numbers doc in which I pasted the e-mails that were succesfully sent...
    Thoughts? Suggetsions?
    thanks in advance!

    Are you suggesting that it sent it to a random sample of the email addresses, that it did not start at the beginning and go row by row until it failed?  If that is the case, you can import the CSV file into Numbers, paste your list of sent addresses in another column or another table of that document, then use COUNTIF to look for duplicates.
    The best I can do is an example.Your table will no doubt be different so you'll have to rejigger the formula.
    Importing your CSV file will create column B
    Insert two new columns, C and D
    Use Copy/Paste to copy/paste your list of sent addresses from your other document into column D
    The formula in column C is =IF(COUNTIF(D,B)>0,"Was Sent","")
    Once it has done its thing, sort by column C to get all the "Was Sent" rows together. Delete them. Delete column C, Delete column D. Share as a CSV.

    You could select Reply All from the icons above the email.
    If Reply All is not shown, go to Mail / View / Customize Toolbar, and add that icon.

  • How to add an e-mail address from a message into a chosen address-book?

    I have no use for "Personal Address Book": I imported my e-mail addresses from my Eudora address-books. As it is, it is quite cumbersome to add that address to the address-book that I want. In Eudora this was easy

    If you are talking about an address in a received mail the easy way to do it is to click the star to the right of the senders email as it displays in the Message Pane or Tab header.
    If the sender is not in one of your address books the star is not filled with color. Clicking the empty star will add it to the default Personal Address Book and fill the star with color.
    Clicking a filled star will open the contact edit dialog box and there is a drop down list of address books so you can move it.
    This is NOT the same star that shows to the left of a message header in the Inbox window.
    You can also drag and drop contacts between address books easily.

    My comp died. Had to reformat. Is there a way to retrieve all my e-mail addresses from the I-phone and get them back to windows mail. Not contacts!! I dont need all the phone #s. From the phone, put in windows mail If you know what I mean. Thanks Bill

    No, I don't think so. On my iPad, the other two accounts are:
    1.  [email protected]  POP account   HostName incoming.verizon.net  Outgoing I use smtp.me.com
    2.   [email protected]  IMAP account  Host Name mail.webfaction.com HOWEVER, this account already is      forwarded to my .mac account, so probably should work
    Does this information help?

  • HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!
