My product says another Apple ID already has support

I have a Mac Mini and an iPad 3 that I am trying to add to My Devices in My Support Profile. When putting in their S/N, I get a meesage that says:
"According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? "
Any thoughts?

I have the same problem with a new iPad. I tried to register the new serial number while logged in, got a message saying I'd receive an email to confirm the registration - the email never arrived.
Tried to register the iPad again, and get the original poster's error message, saying the SN is registered to another Apple ID.
Logged in using each of my Apple IDs (iTunes ID, @me.com ID for iCould, and another older iTunes ID which I don't use anymore), and the iPad isn't registered to any of them. Worse yet, the landing page for support contact lists an old MacBook that I no longer own as my only device, but when I select "manage your products", the resulting list shows my correct product registrations (except the new iPad).
The only anomaly I can think of (aside from the general mess that is Apple IDs mentioned by MoogNinja), is that I changed the Apple website country preference after registering the SN originally (it was defaulting to US - I'm in Canada). But I've tried using either country since then, with no luck. And that still doesn't explain why the support landing page shows the wrong product list.
Tried:
- logging in using various users - no luck
- clearing cache and cookies and logging in again - no luck
I'll be calling support tomorrow to try and figure this crap out.

  • HT2589 when I try and log in my i-tunes account or my app store account on my i-phone it says "this apple I.D has not yet been used on the i-tunes store" it gives me 2 optins "cancel" or "review" I press review, enter my bank details but they decline..why

    Hi can anybody help or advise me? I've recently bought the i-phone 4s, I've set up my apple I.D and password but everytime I try and log in it says "this apple I.D has not yet been used on the i-tunes store" I click "review" follow the instructions and agree to the terms and condition's, enter my bank details but it declines every time? I've tried both my accounts and its declined both, this stops me from logging in so I can't download anything for free or buy anything, my sister had the option of skipping the bank details part when she created her apple I.D and just enters her's when buying something, why do I not have that option?? And why is it declining my bank details...please HELP!!!!!

    The details I'm entering are correct, I choose visa as my card type, enter my card number, enter my expiry date and my last 3 digts on the reverse of the card, enter my address and zip code plus my home telephone number, click continue and it says "the payment method you have selected has been declined, please enter another payment method". I've lost count how many times I've tried, I've typed my details in slowly making sure I put them in properlly and it still declines it, I've even tried makeing a new apple I.D and when I get to the bank details part it declines it again so I am forced to press cancel and all details are not saved so its just like I'm hitting a brick wall, its ******* me off!!! I can't even download any of the free app's because to do so you must log in but when I do it says "this apple I.D has not yet been used in the i-tunes store" review my details and can't get past the bank details part. So doesn't log me in, I'm honestly out of ideas

  • I keep receiving emails saying my apple id password has been changed when I havent changed it? Nobody else has access to my emails or can answer my security questions??

    I keep receiving emails saying my apple id password has been changed when I havent changed it? Nobody else has access to my emails or can answer my security questions??
    I have changed my email password aswell as having to keep changing my apple is password an it keeps changing?

    Sounds like you follow good practices.
    This has been going around for some time in various forms, a number of users have asked about it and the best advice is if in doubt go doirectly to Apple, not links in the email.  Calling Apple or using the Apple site is always the best approach.
    A few have even noticed very slight misspellings in the emails, things like Appel instead of Apple...most people don't even notice those.
    Anyway, safe computing and have a good day.

  • How do i transfer an itunes account from my old computer to another computer which already has an itunes account registered to someone else

    how do i transfer an itunes account from one computer to another which already has another account on it which is registered with someone else

    There is no account stored on any computer, the library however is stored.
    To move the iTunes library from one computer to another, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another.

  • Downloaded latest Firefox version but cannot open as say another version is already running even if I do not have it open. What is wrong?

    Downloaded the latest version of Firefox on my Mac and it won't open as keeps saying that Firefox is already running. This keeps happening even after I log out and re-boot the computer. I don't understand why if I do a download to an existing operation it doesn't piggy-back onto the old one and function. Please help as I have looked at all your Q & A and did not find anything to address download won't work because older version still "running" even when closed. I have Mac OS X version 10.6.3. Thank you.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried to restore my old profile, but I can't open Firefox, it says another copy is already open. How do I fix that?

    I followed the steps to backup my profile and saved the file on my desktop. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. I tried to restore my profile by copying it to the "new profile" but it didn't work, my bookmarks etc did not come back. When I looked in the new profile my old one was there as a folder so I moved it out to the Profiles section. I now had 2 profiles. I deleted the new profile using the Profile manager, thinking the old one that was left would just take over. I then tried to open Firefox but it says
    Close Firefox
    A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.
    Where is this other copy? How do I close it?
    Thank you.

    Did you check the File > Work Offline setting?
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • HT1420 I want to sell my Mac computer and transfer my itunes to another computer that already has a itunes library. Can I have two separate itunes accounts on one computer?

    Also I was wondering how do I clear my computer of all the items like back to factory settings?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new or different iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • When i try to open firefox, I get a message saying another copy is already running. I have tried shutting down comletely and computer still thinks there's another copy running. How can this be?

    There are two separate desktops on this computer, one for me and one for another user. Her Firefox is not affected. I have looked everywhere for this second copy supposedly running but I don't see how it can be because I have shut down all programs several times.

    There are a few possible causes for that error, for details see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • How Do I Get Music From Another Computer That Already Has ITunes/Ipod insta

    Here's the story - I have a Video Ipod. I have music on it from my ITunes that I installed on my computer (PC). My sister has her own computer with her own itunes and her own ipod installed on it (same model Ipod and same version Itunes and also a PC). I want her music. I want it on my Ipod. How do I do this?
    When I connected my ipod to her computer it said that another user was using Ipod software and that they had to log off before it would recognize my ipod. How do I do this without affecting her Itunes/Ipod settings? Help? Thank you....

    what you are asking is illegal.. sharing music is illegal.
