Signing in with an existing apple id for buying a book doesn't work

Hi,
I've created a book in Aperture and I want to buy the book via Apple. So I press the Buy Book button and try to sign in with my existing apple id.
But then I end up in a menu called "Create an Apple Account". The weird thing is that it shows data from my existing apple id (like the security question and more). Although I think this is incorrect itself I did try to continue, but it is stuck to this page.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?

This problem has come up over and over again, and there is no easy solution:
This is how it should work: Apple Print Products - Apple Store
For many posters it worked to simply go through the motions and enter the complete billing information again, and to make sure, the address, zip code etc. are valid entries.
This error message may be given, if your account uses a password that does not obey the password rules, or if your zip-code is wrongly formatted. Check your zip-code, if it has the correct number of digits. You may need to change your password at MyAppleID.

  • HT2204 Why did it ask me to talk to iTunes Support to complete the transaction when I tried to sign in with an existing Apple ID? I already provided credit card info.

    I am frustrated. I have tried two different Apple IDs and put in my credit card information. Each time I could not go through to log in the iPad and it asked me to contact iTunes Support. Please let me know how to successfully log in the new iPad with xthe existing Apple ID.

    Have you tried contacting iTunes support and asking them (there are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I receive a server error when attempting to sign in with an existing apple id to set up a new matchbook air

    I have 2 apple ID's, one for an IPAD and the other for an IPHONE.  I have just purchased a new macbook air and when setting it up, I receive a 'server error' meesage when attamepting to sign in with either of the 2 pre existing apple id's.
    These pre exisiting ID's all work correctly with IPAD and IPHONE.
    Everything I have looked up says that I should be able to use either of these apple ID's to set up my new macbook air. I shoud not have to create a new apple ID or change passwords.
    I cannot progress with setting up the macbook air without signing in.
    How do I fix this?
    Help appreciated!

    Good luck!

  • HT201359 I made an apple id for free, but it doesn't work. I don't know what can I do.

    I saw in utube, how to make an apple id for free, but can't use it, it says my id can't be verified.

    By 'did not work' you mean ... ? Do you get any error messages ?

  • ITunes won't sign in using my existing Apple ID

    I haven't purchased from iTunes store before. Infact, I still don't immediately plan to... but i need to use the Home Sharing application in iTunes and this requires an active iTunes account.
    The first time I tried signing in with my existing Apple ID it said my password or Apple ID was incorrect and re-directed me to create a new account. So i tried to do this (using my same Apple ID) and it kept coming up with an error saying that this ID already existed. So i then tried a different approach and re-set my password (to the same password it was b4) and when i tried to log in after that, it said there was an internal iTunes error and to try again later. And now when i try to log in the error msg comes up "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information" and THEN it re-directs me BACK to setting up a new account. And so the cycle continues!
    So frustrating. What am i doing wrong?

    I've purchased $350.00 worth of "apple" hardware, (32 gig. ipod touch) and "apple care" and I still have yet, (2 days later), to be able to use the **** thing. Itunes will not verify from my email after i click on their link. It seems that the "apple care " experts don't know what to do either. I've always had a bad taste in my mouth, dealing with microsoft program errors and viruses, but if Apples own staff can't get the ipod touch up & running for my son to enjoy on X-mas, why on God's green earth would I or anyone, choose to use other more important Apple products in our business / personal applications!!!!!!!! I've owned an apple product, (with Apple Care) for 2 days and i already feel that it *****. If they can't help me when I need assistance, I will take this crap back to the store and get my money back or cause a big stink.

    I want to change my apple id but get the message "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.".  I try to log a call with apple support and I get a message like "cannot schedule a call".  That leaves me out of options.  Any ideas?

    Hi billfromwandering,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues changing your Apple ID. It is correct that if an email address has been used previously for an Apple ID, it can not be used for a different Apple ID, as noted in this article:
    In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, it's already an Apple ID. 
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you are certain that the email in question has never been used for an Apple ID and you are having issues contacting Apple Support regarding this issue, you may want to make sure you are going through the Apple ID support channel on the following page:
    Apple ID - Contact - Apple Support
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.

    My current Apple ID, for which all of my content has been downoaded (e.g., music, apps) is associated with a work email address that I will no longer have access to in the near future.  In my Apple ID account, I noticed I had two alternate emails listed, one is my .me account and the other is my .gmail account.  I use my .gmail account, and it is the primary email I use with friends and family.  I noticed both were not verified, and when I tried to, it said they were both associated with other accounts.  I was able to log into a separate Apple ID account I must have set up at tone point with my .gmail, and I changed the email address to a new one I created.  I also deleted the gmail account from any other Apple-relted account I could think of.  I am still gettgin the same error message when I try to add it to my current Apple ID: "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
    My concern is this: with FaceTime and now iMessage, it seems more important than ever that I am able to use my correct email address.  With iOS5 beta, I cannot enter either my .gmail or.me accounts under "You can be reached for messages at:" as I get an error stating: Unable to verify email because it is already in use."
    How can I remedy this issue and assign my .gmail account to my Apple ID?

    I just spoke with a technician at Apple.  I hsven't been able to verify because the wife has the phone.  but he said all that you need to do is:
    1) Go to Settings --> iTunes Store and login with your Apple ID and pwd
    2) Go to Settings --> iCloud and login with your Apple ID and pwd
    seems that the phone requires you to login to the store first...

    Hi all,
    I tried this and it worked:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password you used when creating the account.
    4) Change the email address associated with your account.
    5) Send new verification email
    I also got this from apple CS for other things to try:
    Please follow these steps to access your Apple ID accountinformation:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password youused when creating the account.
    4) Delete any duplicate email addresses associated withyour account.
    5) Click the Save Changes button.
    If you do not have duplicate email addresses on your account, it is possible that your email address is already being used withanother Apple ID. In order to verify your email address with the current AppleID, it will need to be disassociated from your other Apple ID. You can do thatby following these steps:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Log in with your other Apple ID and password.
    3) Select the Manage your account link.
    4) Choose Name, ID, and Email Address from the left sideof the page.
    5) Next to Primary Email Address, select Edit so that youcan change the email address associated with this Apple ID.
    6) Once you've made the desired change, select SaveChanges.
    7) Choose Sign Out from the top right of the page.
    If you would like to have the verification email resentto you, please sign into https://appleid.apple.com/with the Apple ID you want to verify, and make sure there is not a typo in yourPrimary Email Address. Select the "Edit" link to the right of your email address to make corrections and then click the "Save Changes" button.Once the typo is fixed, or if there is no typo, click the "Resend"link under your email address.
    If you still do not receive the verification email,please reply to this email with the email address that you intend to use onyour Apple ID.
    Good luck!

  • I changed to a new iphone 5, but it keeps coming up with my old Apple ID FOR iCloud sign in. My Apple ID is correct for iTunes and App Store and on my ipad. The user names stays greed out on the iCloud sign in and I can't change it.

    I recently changed from my old Iphone 5 to a new one. The Apple ID that comes up when signing into iCloud is my old Apple ID, yet the correct one is shown on iTunes and apps. I can't change the Apple ID to the correct one, and am unable to restore my latest back up from icloud. I have tried everything, but I can' t change the Apple ID on the phone. It stays greed out. My Apple ID is correct on my ipad and when I log into my iCloud account via the internet. How do can I fix this?

    Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
    Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages.  This should also sign you out of iCloud.
    Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    If that does not work
    Skip the iCloud sign in
    Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
    Change your Apple ID to the old one
    Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
    Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
    Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

    Thanks
    Dennis

    I'm having the same issue with my iPad. I also used to have MobileMe, but cancelled. I seem to have two Apple ID's with the same email address. One Apple ID is not an email, the other Apple ID is my email address. They have different passwords and I can manage both. My iTunes Store one is the one without the email address. I had to use the email address Apple ID for Game Room.
    I am in Live Chat Support with Apple right now.
