I am trying to setup a new Apple ID but it tells me the email address I want to us is in use even though I have deleted it as the secondary address for mother id

I Am trying to set up a new AppleID but it tells me the email address I wish to use as the ID is in use.  It was the rescue address for another account but I have deleted that.  What do I need to do to get it to recognise the email address as a new one. I cannot set up iCloud without an ID

Email addresses can only ever be used once in an Apple ID. They cannot be deleted from one Apple ID and moved to another.

  • HT5625 I'm trying to create a new Apple ID but when I was putting on my information, there's a box asking for an ITunes gift code. What's this and how can I get one?

    You're not obligated to insert a gift code. But you can purchase gift codes on the Apple online store (gift cards or certificates) or Apple Retail store
    Gift codes are pre paid cards so you can use credit on the iTunes Store to purchase content

    you haven't told us what "Park" the "merry-go-round" is in
    tell us what actions you take to get Apple not to recognize your email address...
    Are you formatting it correctly? - username @ someDomain .com <- NO Spaces (I did it so the system wouldn't make an email link out of it)
    Tell us what happens when you realize  that Apple is "not recognizing" your email. What message do you get, exactly? Take screenshot of the entire screen for context

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Also
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

    I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

    What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
    Tell us what network setup you are using..
    If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

    Hi
    I would trash - iMovie pref file - and re-try - sounds like this got faulty.
    • Delete iMovie pref. file. iMovie pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)

    If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:

    Hi Gerald,
    Well, you're not alone. The question is why is this happening? Since the referenced link shows the same type of problem with Yahoo finance, I suspect there is a coding problem on the site, specific to how Firefox is reading the code. Not being a programmer, I can't offer specific advice other than contacting either Firefox through their Community forum, or Yahoo Finance.

  • I have put 1 piece of music on my movie and it is ok but when I put a second piece on later in the movie I am unable to work with it. Even though I have dropped volume levels for speech it doesn't move. Any ideas ?c

    I am using iMovie 11 and have put down a piece of music which is fine. I have done all the adjustments that I needed so far. My problem is that i wish to add another piece of music and whilst I can move it on to the timeline I am unable to control it. I have no adjustments on the track like the earlier piece. Full volume only. Any ideas ?

    Hey CarolinQc,
    Thanks for the question. The symptoms you are experiencing can result from an Apple ID address that has been changed prior to signing out of all of the services. Before you change the email address associated with your Apple ID, you’ll want to sign out of all services to avoid this. As a fix, you can temporarily change your Apple ID back to the old address:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    2. Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
              - Scroll down and 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.
    3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    4. Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • Trying to download just ONE audiobook... it downloaded them all!  even though I have "selected" and just the one checked -- help!

    i downloaded the iTunes update to 11.1.   Normally I just download one audio boo to my iPhone (5) at one time, this time, even though I had "selected audiobooks" checked and just the one audio book checked, it downloaded all of them.   That's taking up almost a gig of space on my 16G phone.   Before I realized it was trying to download every book, i deleted about 500 pictures (okay, I really needed to delete them anyway...) along with a bunch of apps I never use, to make room for what I thought was just the one new book I purchased....  is there a fix for this?

    Hi!
    This could be done in many ways so it's quite hard to pin point what's going on and how it's done.
    The first thing I would do is to reset the the router you have, creating a new password for loging on in case they have gained access this way, then create a new password for the wireless network if you are using it.
    Then reinstall your computer, if they/you have installed some software and gotten a Trojan, the only way to get rid of it to 100% is to reinstall. There is no meaning in trying to find it and uninstalling it since it's gotten this far allready.
    Depending on what router you have, you might be able to get the logs and see from where they are connecting and trying to pinpoint their location.
    There are probably other ways to find out more, but if this happened to me, the first thing I would do is to get rid of the problem, ignoring who they are.
    Best regars

  • Firefox won't sync to my Android device, even though I have logged in (to the new Sync), and unlinked and relinked my phone and PC multiple times. Help?

    Pretty much just what the question says. I got a new phone, logged into sync on Android, and my phone will not populate the information that it should from my sync account. I am running the new sync, am updated to the current version on both platforms, have all the appropriate boxes checked, and have tried logging out and then back in again, multiple times, in attempt to reset the sync to populate the information. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    When you say 'Sync' do you mean to the cloud?
    I suspect there is some issue were space used is being reported incorrectly.
    My iPad mini only has a 97Mb file to sync to cloud (I don't try to sync much of it), I have 2.2 free space in the cloud, and it won't sync. I've also noticed that some games like Fieldrunners won't save games, nor will the Drawing Pad app save pics my kids create. All of these issues seem related to how the iPad views it's own use of space.
    Getting close to wiping the thing and starting again. Even an OS upgrade to 8.1.1 hasn't helped.

  • HT1849 I cannot see complete my album for the new Taylor Swift 'Red' even though I have bought most of the songs! Help!

    Apple please fix this!!

    I had the same problem, but I just selected purchase album, then it says you are eligable to get the album at a discounted price becaucse you have already purchased songs from this album. So I selected complete album but then it says purchasing loads for a second then stops and doesnt do anything. It has no downloads waiting and it does not charge my card. I tried about 6 times and no luck, I just want the album. I hope it doesnt charge me multiple times later on or something because I will flip, THIS IS SO DISSAPOINTING!!
