Cannot use wifes email account to enter apple account

I just bought my wife an Ipad Mini. Trying to set it up. I do not know if she has a an account with Apple. When I try to enter her email address with her name I get this: "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID". When I try to recover password I get, email sent. but it not coming to her address, because I think I screwed up when the email was sent to her address using Mozilla a POP up showed at right lower of screen saying something like accredited sites do not this or something to that effect. I refused without reading full message. Now when Apple sends confirmation of reset, I do not get anything.
Sure could use some help with this problem.
Thanks in advance

Got it Thanks

Someone is using my email id as his apple account.

Hi,
Someone is using @gmail.com as his Apple ID. As per google there @gmail.com
My understanding is that without email verification the ID cannot be used, it is very confusing as even if I am not buying any app still I get an email.
Please help.

You'll probably have to contact iTunes store support to straighten this out. They deal with Apple ID issues all the time. You can contact them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Someone has been using my email address as their Apple ID

Hello,
Someone has been using MY email address as their Apple ID. When I started setting up my own Apple ID with my own email address, I eventually had to reset the associated password, thinking I had made this Apple ID earlier. Then when I logged into the account, it turned out to be someone else's account. Help, how do I fix this so I have my Apple ID associated with my email address and the other person knows to change their Apple ID email address?
Thanks!

I had this happen a few years ago. Someone created an iTunes account using one of my Gmail email addresses. I got the email to verify the account. I verified it, and then hit the forgot my password link. Reset the password and logged in. There I could see the ladies name, address and credit card. I changed it all to my name and removed the payment info and never entered my card number so they account could not be used.
Never had a problem again.

How can I remove an email address from one apple account and associate it with another?

I created an appleID account to use with the mac AppStore without realising i previously had an appleID account from my first iPod touch.
Now with OSX 10.8 I want to use the email address from the old account with the new account for Messages.app without having to manage 2 logins.
I've followed the steps found on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 under the section "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" but each time I attempt to add the removed email address from the new account to the old account the input box shows the error: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

Can I use iOS email to view my GroupWise account?

I have a new MacBook Pro, and would like to use iOS email to work within that account, but it isn't working!!!!!

I also use my me account right now on the cloud, but for discussions I don't want feedback on that account. I only try to use that email account for special purposes. I have other email accounds for thinks like discussion feedback, notifications, etc. Why can't I use a different email box for such? Apple is getting too over secure if you ask me. I have two names now and two accounts each with different passwords to remember for the itunes store because I forgot my password one day and had to start a new account. Now I get notices from both accounts and I am not allowed to merge them. So when an app upgrade comes along, it tells me what the name of that app was under and I have to use the password for that account which I no longer use for the app store. I don't understand why I couldn't just change the password for the original account like most places allow? but I guess although related that is another topic. All I would like to do here is use a different email account for discussion feedback. Is that possible? if not, Why not? This is over control!

If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up. Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID. If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

Someone in France is using my email address for an Apple ID.

Just bought my first iPhone 24 hours ago. Tried to create an Apple ID. Someone in France is apparently using my email address for their own account. Whenever I try to redeem the code on an App Store card I just bought, a message pops up that I presume says I can't use the code in France. Then iTunes and the App Store revert to French settings. I can reset the language to Canadian english on my laptop, but iTunes and the App Store on my iPhone remain in French. I've tried resetting my iPhone, to no avail. Very frustrated because I only get email support, and have to wait 24 hours for a reply. When I looked at my account, there is someone else's personal information, including credit card info. WHY?????????????//
