Cannot use additional email for my apple id

Hi all,
I use two apple IDs for several devices. Each of them holds my additional emails for rescue purposes (2 different emails for the first and 1 addiional email for the second apple ID). I  have decided to move one additional email from one apple ID to another one. First I have deleted this moving email address from the 1st apple ID account. Then tried to add this moving email to my second apple ID account, but system doesn't allow to set this email as additional - said "This email address is confirmed to another apple ID".  How to resolve this issue? Thank you!

Thank you! I will try to explain the issue.
I have appleID_1
(primary email: "[email protected]", additional secondary emails: "[email protected]"  and "[email protected]") 
and appleID_2
(primary email: "[email protected]", additional secondary email: "[email protected]").
I need to move additional email "[email protected]" from appleID_1 to appleID_2 account.
Therefore I deleted this "[email protected]" from appleID_1, but appleID_2 does not accept address "[email protected]", the red message "This email address is confirmed to another apple ID" has been appeared immediately...
Thank you!

  • I lost my ipod a while back and i can't use my email for anything apple

    It did not have Find my Iphone on it just in case you were wondering. It was an ipod touch and it got stolen. How do i get it so erase or something so i can use my email for my new ipod.

    Change the password for the email account and for all other accounts used on the iPod.
    That is all you can do besides reporting it to the police. Apple will do nothing

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

    Do you need to use an email as an apple ID?    We have a family email which is currently the apple ID so I can keep track of purchases but i have 2 iPhones and 2 itouches.

    Figured it out. Thanks.

  • Ai changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud ccount because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

    i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud  account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I used my husband's email for my apple ID.  I just got him a new ipad but can't use the email to register.  If I change my ID now, will that email be available for him on his ipad?

    Hey LamFY,
    Thanks for the question. The short answer is Yes. Once you change your Apple ID primary email address, the previous email address will be freed up for use with another account:

    Be sure to follow all of the steps in this resource, most importantly the first step of signing out of all Apple features and services.

  • HT5621 Hi I'm using my wife's email for my apple Id but now she has got an iPhone we r both using the same one ive tried gettin my own using my own email but it keeps telling me my email is already in use how can that be????

    Hi I'm using my wife's email for my apple Id but now she has got an iPhone we r both using the same one ive tried gettin my own using my own email but it keeps telling me my email is already in use how can that be????

    Are you trying to set up your own iDevice and that is why you want your own Apple ID?
    Do you realize that any content that you have already purchased using her ID will still have to be used if you want to update apps or download purchases again for free? ITunes and App Store content is tied to the ID used to make the purchase. Furthermore, if you use her ID to download a purchased app for free on your own device, you can lock yourself out of your ID for 90 days.
    Back to the question at hand .... Did she use your email address as the rescue email address for her Apple ID?

  • HT2534 I cannot buy an email Gift Card "Apple ID Not Authorized for Email Purchase" ???

    I cannot buy an email Gift Card "Apple ID Not Authorized for Email Purchase" ???

    I'll add my frustration in trying to purchase an e-mail gift card and being told I'm not authorized either.  Be nice to get more feed-back on the reason (e.g., no valid credit card, we think you pirate songs, you wear funny shoes .. something) instead of just NO!

  • I have a question, I've always used my moms old email for my Apple ID because I got my first apple product when I was a little kid and I didn't have an email so if I change it will people have to make new contacts of me on their devices?

    I have a question I've always used my moms old email for my Apple ID but when I text on iMessage it says my moms email is the one who sent the message and it's embarrassing so if I change my Apple ID email will my friends have to make new contacts of me on their devices? please answer this as soon as possible I beg you.

    If you get your own Apple ID, then you will need a new email address unless you have an email address that is different from your mom's. In that case you use your own email address as your Apple ID.
    You will have to reconfigure everything to associate them with your new Apple ID. This also means any apps or music you  purchased using your mom's Apple ID will have to be repurchased using your Apple ID.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • I've already changed email for my apple id more than 6 months. But 2-3 months ago until now I've recieved and email to ask apple id confirmation from me. I never confirm anything because I don't know,the link's attached, it's legal or illegal.

    Dear Apple support team,
    I've already changed email for my apple id more than 6 months. But 2-3 months ago until now I've recieved and email to ask my apple id confirmation from me about 6-8 emails. I never confirm anything because I don't know,the link's attached, it's legal or illegal.
    The latest link (just be sent to my email 1 hr. ago) : http://www.smartpixeladv.com/proma/Login/index.html

    In my opinion, i think      "http://"   should be   "https://"  right?  Or Apple should show the link on your website  that we can find, re- check and click by ourselve. Or  Apple should do "How to confirm apple id" on your main page. ( in fact  i'm not sure you already done "How to" on your website yes or not, because I cannot find it)
    The apple id is sensitive security, it's concerned personal security and any credit card payment so please understand me that's why i must to interrupt your team to help me to solve this problem. I'm scared my account will be blocked. Please advice me.

    It is a phishing attempt to get your Apple ID and Password.
    You should forward it to Apple : [email protected]

  • Apple ID.  My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID.  My apple ID is not an email address.  How can I get past the set-up screen?

    My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID.  My apple ID is not an email address.  How can I get past the set-up screen?
    I can't change my Apple ID.  It would mess all my stuff up.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • ICloud email for my Apple ID?

    Hi
    I have a gmail email for my Apple ID, I wanted to change the Apple ID into my iCloud address, you know, Apple email for Apple ID. But when I change it in iTunes Store, it says:
    - I don't have MobileMe, I have iCloud, looks like they haven't changed it
    I don't quite understand... I haven't created another Apple ID with my iCloud address. Anyone have this problem? Anyone knows how to solve it?
    Thanks

    You can use iCloud as your primary email, just keep the other as a backup.
    It really isn't a good idea to rely on just one email address in case you get an unexpected problem, for example:
