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. -
Hi- not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm hoping to merge my two Apple ID's, or at least get rid of the new one that isn't linked to either of my devices. I seem to have my old Apple ID, that is linked to my Iphone 4 and Mac Book Pro, Itunes etc. And my NEW Apple ID, with the correct e-mail address, that isn't linked to anything. I have tried to change my Apple ID by managing my account, but it won't let me change the e-mail address as the correct address is already being used. Please help, anyone!
Thank you,
Julie.Hi Julie, I have the same issue (except to complicate matters even further the .me address I'd like to keep is an alias) and have spent over an hour on the 'Express Support' chat tonight; where I've been told that to date Apple will not merge two accounts and if you choose to delete one account, that .me address/ID will never be available again ... I did ask if this was something Apple were looking at changing, but was told:
"Once an @me.com email address is created once it is used forever. To create an account you would have to use an email address that would have never been used before. I wish there was a way for us to do that, however there is not. The only way to free up an @me.com email address would be if we recycled accounts and we currently are not doing that."
Crystal, the support technician, then went on to state:
"When you remove an alias from an account that permanently deletes it and makes it unable to be used again on that account it was deleted from or on another account."
followed (after my attempts at suggesting various work-arounds) by:
"Merging of Apple IDs is something that we are unable to do. There are a series of Apple Discussion Boards stating this as other customers discuss not be able to merge their IDs also. If you click on Frequently asked questions at this link, it also states that we cannot merge IDs: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895"
Bless Crystal, she really did try to help, but this looks like an option we'll just have to wait for! Hope this makes sense ... -
I already had an Apple ID before registering for iCloud e-mail.
This means that my Primary Apple ID is my @gmail.com e-mail address (the one I originally registered my Apple ID with), however I'd prefer that my Primary Apple ID were my new @iCloud.com e-mail address.
Yet, I already know that it is simply not possible to make my new @iCloud.com e-mail address my Primary Apple ID in any easy/simple sort of manner.
My understanding is, the only possible way I could use an @iCloud e-mail address as my Primary Apple ID now is to make a brand new Apple ID account. However, I want to keep/continue using my current @iCloud e-mail address and my Apple username (JRCSaunders) -- I don't want to have to choose a new @iCloud e-mail address or Apple username.
So basically what I'm wondering is if there is any possibility that I might be able to completely delete/erase my current Apple ID and then re-create a new Apple ID using my current/existing @iCloud.com e-mail addressas my Primary Apple ID and re-using the same Apple username I have now (JRCSaunders)?
I'm just trying to think of a work-around so that I can make my current/existing @iCloud e-mail address my Primary Apple ID, which does not seem possible without having to create an all-new Apple ID account. But I don't want to create a new account if it means having to change any of my current addresses/names/etc. to new/different ones. So, is what I described (deleting then re-creating using the same names/addresses/info) possible?
Thanks!Oops, I realized I posted this question in the iPhone section by mistake. Is it possible to delete this message and re-post it over in the iPod Touch section?
My apologies for this mistake. Jd -
I did not know that when I created a e-mail address that I was suppose to use the same one that I created when I first signed up with Apple I phone. I want to change my e-mail address to the one I first had How can I change it? I do not need two e-mail accounts It should have read that when you are setting up an e-mail address use the one that you first signed up with. Not after you go through all the set ups for I cloud it tells you at the end to use your account that you first started with. Can you please help me I am new at this and I still can not set up on my computer with my phone to I cloud so if I had my phone stollen I can find it I also have and I pad to set up yet It is 3 days and I still can not set it up
Thank You and Hoplefully I can change my e-mail address so I can have everything on one accountIf you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other. -
I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.Sandra,

I have been using my husband's apple id in my old PC (ID A). When I purchased a MacBook Pro, I created my own Apple ID (ID B) and started using my laptop and updating the S/W with this ID.
Because I wanted to have access to my old purchases, I changed my Apple ID's e-mail to another e-mail that my husband uses (ID B->ID C).
Then I changed my husband's original Apple ID's e-mail address to my own e-mail address (ID A->ID B).
Now I can't update any s/w through the Apple Store and I get the message that "Sign in to **********@hotmail.com to update applications for that account.". The e-mail address is ID C. How can I associate my laptop in the AppStore with ID B which is the one that have all my purchased applications and contains my own e-mail address?
I would appreciate your reply.
DimitraYou are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway... -
We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids?
Thank-you1. Yes, it is.
2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.

User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?
The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Typed in Wrong e-mail address and created another Apple ID
I'm gonna cry.
I've been trying to set up iCloud with a iPhone 4 that I just upgraded to the new OS.
Unfortunately, when I set it up, I accidently typed in a wrong Apple ID (I typed ***@ail.com instead of ***.aol.com) and it created a new Apple ID and now when I try to access iCloud from my phone it tells me I need to verify my account and the e-mail address cannot be verified. I found out that I had two Apple ID's and somehow even my credit card info was transferred over to the new ID. I finally got my old/existing/correct Apple ID set up with credit card info, but for some reason iCloud won't logon to the old/existing/correct ***.aol.com ID.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
MarkHi,
I just posted a similar problem.
I wrongly keyed in my e-mail address as [email protected] when it should have been [email protected]
I re-explored the iphone just now. If iCloud itself, pls scroll all the way down.
It will prompt you to delete this account. Ple delete.
It will the prompt you:
Deleting this account will delete all data associated with iCloud. Press delete since you have no date to lose to begin with.
After you deleted everything, you will be able to key in your new apple ID with the correct e-mail address.
Good luck -
HT204053 how can i delete icloud e-mail address and create another one?
i made a mistake when created the icloud e-mail address and want to replace that with some other icloud e-mail (not existing yet). how can i do that?
You can't, without setting up a whole new iCloud account attached to another AppleID.
You can setup an email alias instead: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a -
Why I can't purchase anything from UK Appstore? It says my ID connected to Kazakhstani store and I can't use it here in UK, I used to live in KZ. How to change stores? Create a new ID? But I still have my old e-mail address, will it valid as a new ID?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only purchase content on the Kazakhstani store because you created your Apple ID on that country. To change the country, see "Change your iTunes Store country" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -
If i cancel an account can I create a new one with the same e-mail address?
I made an account with Game Center and I wanted to use it to get some free apps on the iTunes Store. When I tried to sign in on iTunes (for Windows) it said I had to review my details. I didn't have a credit card so I couldn't complete it and there wasn't any option for no credit card.
I wondered if I could cancel my account and create a new one with the same e-mail address. There was a discussion that you could create a new account on the iTunes Store and have the choice to not have a credit card.
Any help will help!
SuperHoopsNo, it does not, not if the creation of the Apple ID was completed, which unless you are referring to a different Apple ID I presume it did since you are posting here. And once created, you can't get apps without providing a payment method; setting up for just free apps requires a very specific procedure or a payment method is necessary. Creating an account via Game Center does not work.
If you can create a new email address (Gmail or Yahoo mail will work), take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
