HT5621 Trying to change the email on my apple ID but get error message that the email I want to change to is already used for notifications. What do I do?

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this. The email address is connected to my Ipad and Iphone for the email app, can that have anything to do with it?
If it makes any difference, I updated both my Ipad3 and Iphone4 to ios 7 today. I'm trying to change from my Macbook air though.
Please advise, would really appreciate a reply ASAP.

It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

Im runining windows 7 trying to upgrade to itunes11.02 but get error message that the file is not on a network - im not prepared to reload 5000 cd tracks would expect better service from apple can you help

please help

Many thanks.
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package itunes64.msi in the box below
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I tried to restore pictures from iPhoto and my back up drive was locked. When I clicked the icon to replace it gave me an error message that the pictures were locked. Now I can't open iPhoto. It says I have to reinstall it?

I was trying to restore my photos in Iphoto through time machine. When I did so I clicked on the icon to replace and then a message saying that certain files were locked. I don't know how to unlock the files and now I cant open my iphoto. Another message appears saying that I have to reistall the app. I don't know how to do this either. Any help Please.

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.
