I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

When I try to change ID get the following message:Email address is already verified for another Apple ID

I just got an iphone 5 and want to establish an apple ID. I have 2 apple IDs: both are associated with my son. One uses my email address the other his. The one using my email adress is being used by him: apps, itunes etc. The one associated with his email address has nothing going on.So... I have changed the latter to be associated with my wife's email so that I might switch the IDs so that his email is connected with his apps and itunes. No problem. Then, I tried to change the ID with my email address with his (the one I just changed), but I continue to get the message :Email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Does it take time for the system to disassociate his email with an apple ID? Is there something I am missing?

In my experience, I have seen it take days. However, if the issue still persists a week from now, I'd check with iTS, as they can look up in directory services to see if you've (or someone else) has inadvertently combined this with other Apple IDs... A very common thing since many users are not aware what they have even done.

I´m getting the following message: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.

When trying to add a new account I´m getting this error message: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
I didn´t know I have another Apple ID. How can I find out which Apple ID is that one and how can I add this email address to the Apple ID I currently use? Thanks

Are you sure you don't have another ID? If you purchased Apple hardware you may very well have been given an ID as part of the registration process. You can check this by going to http://appleid.apple.com and clicking 'Find My Apple ID'. Follow the instructions and it should list any IDs you have.
However once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't use it with another (even if it's removed from the first) so you are probably going to have to use another address, such as a free one from Yahoo or GMail.

I am being asked to verify my Apple ID. When I enter the password I get the message it is wrong. It says the e-mail address is already verified for another Apple ID and then it says it is sending an e-mail to my e-mail account that I then never receive.

This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).
Here's the workaround fix I found after some online research:

Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.

I have 2 different email addresses for Facetime. I now cannot receive or make calls on one of the emails. I deleted, then readied the nonworking address, but I get a message that says "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID." Help!

When I open Facetime, I see a blank screen now- no contacts or numbers. How do I add this email address to my account? Thank you.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

On the iPad - go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap on your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with your changed/new ID.

I think that was Tecno. Techno appears to be a whole class of fonts.
Is this the one? http://www.dafont.com/tecno.font
That's a .ttf version which should work OK with current OS.
As an aside, I was searching for Apple Textile for quite some time when it was pointed out to me that it was used by iDVD. Sure enough, opened up the installer package for iDVD with Pacifist and there it was. Now working fine on all my Macs!

The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.
