Apple ID already in use?

So, when I was 12, I wanted to make an apple I. However, I put in my actual age and, being too young, I was denied the ability to create an account. I used an alternate email to create my current account and put in a different age. Now, I want to change to my actual email address, but when I try it says the email is already in use. I used the forgot password option with the email address, but I was told it was no longer in use. Does anyone have a solution to the problem?

It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
This address has presumably been used by you as an Apple ID in the past, perhaps for iTunes or when reigstering hardware.
You can check what the situation is by going to http://appleid.apple.com and logging in with that address - see if this gets you in as a ID. If it does you can try changing it to another address as an ID - you could use a free one - though i'm not sre whether this will releas it for use within another ID.

  • I have most of my music stored on my old iphone. i bought a new I pad, and signed up with a new e mail adress as my old one is defunct. How do i change my e mail adress to the new one, because it keeps telling me apple id already in use.

    You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it.
    You won't be able to change it to an email address that is being used an alternate or rescue email address on the account (they can be viewed/changed/removed via http://appleid.apple.com), nor to one that is currently being used as the primary email address on an account

    After 11.1 and ios 7 update, cannot log into ipad. says apple ID already in use. no issues prior to updates.tried both primary and backup emails. says both already in use

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

  • HT2731 I am trying to set up an IPad with an Apple account already in use but it will not let me put it on this Ipad.  What do I need to do?

    I am trying to set up an IPad with an Apple account already in use but it will not let me do so. What do I ned to do so i can have Apple ID on Ipad and other items?

    Hi,
    Yes you can contact Apple UK at daytime, for free, in the Chat.
    Just go to the iPad page, then press buy now in the upper right corner, and then in the upper right corner you will see the phone number, and next to it,(only at daytime) you will see a button, writing something like contact else, I don't really know what is the exact label, but it works.
    Good luck

  • Ipod say apple id already in use

  • Apple ID already in use/2 apple id's

    I have an apple ID for iCloud, and another one for my purchases. Now the last one is on an old email address that I don't have anymore, and I want to change it into another email address. I have read that I can not unite both apple id's, so I want to connect my shopping ID to another email of mine.
    When I do that, it says that this email address is already connected to an apple ID.
    I look that up on applied.apple.com and see that indeed all my email addresses are linked to my iCloud ID address, so I have no address left that I can connect with the old address that doesn't exist anymore.
    How can I solve this?
    thanks

    you'll need to create a new email address.

  • I am trying to set up a new Apple ID for my 2 sons.  It says that both of their emails are already in use for someone else Apple ID.  They don't have other emails.  What do I do?

    Cara,
    If those email addresses are already in use somewhere else, you can get new email addresses for your kids.  You can do this via your ISP, or by one of the free email services such as hotmail, yahoo, or gmail.

  • Apple ID email already in Use

    When I try to set up a new apple ID, it asked for a non-apple domain email account.  When I try to use my email address, it says it's already assocaited with another account.  My email address is very unique and I doubt anyone else knows to use it.  When I try to search for it using look up apple ID, it can't find any apple ID associated with that email.  So I'm stuck...why does it say its in use, but when I search for it, it can't find it?

    Hi robosalsa,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like the email address you are trying to set up and use as an Apple ID may be associated with another Apple ID as an additional or recovery email address. You can navigate to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your existing Apple ID to check the additional email addresses and remove them. Please use the attached discussion as a reference.

  • This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.

    My current Apple ID, for which all of my content has been downoaded (e.g., music, apps) is associated with a work email address that I will no longer have access to in the near future.  In my Apple ID account, I noticed I had two alternate emails listed, one is my .me account and the other is my .gmail account.  I use my .gmail account, and it is the primary email I use with friends and family.  I noticed both were not verified, and when I tried to, it said they were both associated with other accounts.  I was able to log into a separate Apple ID account I must have set up at tone point with my .gmail, and I changed the email address to a new one I created.  I also deleted the gmail account from any other Apple-relted account I could think of.  I am still gettgin the same error message when I try to add it to my current Apple ID: "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
    My concern is this: with FaceTime and now iMessage, it seems more important than ever that I am able to use my correct email address.  With iOS5 beta, I cannot enter either my .gmail or.me accounts under "You can be reached for messages at:" as I get an error stating: Unable to verify email because it is already in use."
    How can I remedy this issue and assign my .gmail account to my Apple ID?

    Re: Cant verify Apple ID
    created by kelly218 in iTunes Store - View the full discussion
    I just spoke with a technician at Apple.  I hsven't been able to verify because the wife has the phone.  but he said all that you need to do is:
    1) Go to Settings --> iTunes Store and login with your Apple ID and pwd
    2) Go to Settings --> iCloud and login with your Apple ID and pwd
    seems that the phone requires you to login to the store first...

  • Apple ID, registered yesterday - never received a confirmation email but when try to sign in says username or pass not valid. Password /username reset doesnt work! When I try to re-register it says that my username is already in use! ?

    Hello!
    I tried to create an ID account a few hours ago using my current email address in order to use ibooks. I completed all stages and even provided my visa card - I received a message from my bank that 'my visa was authorized for an indicative amount Euro1.00 @ Apple' BUT I never received an email in order to verify my apple ID.
    Please note, at that moment of my registration there was something wrong with my internet connection and I not sure if the registration process was 100% completed. I then tried to sign in using my email address and it says that my username or password is not valid. I tried all procedures to reset password/username but it doesnt allow me to do anything - since it doesnt recognize my name or my date of birth/security question. Then I tried to create the ID again, doing the procedure from the beginning but then it says that my email account (username) is already in use. I am blocked here and cannot use my email to register! (I registered with my old email address so I can contact you here). Any advice? Thanks in advance.

    I think you should contact Apple support and explain the problem to them.  It's not unknown but it might have a security side to it.   Better safe than sorry.
