"This email address is already in use" for apple ID. I don't have another account. How can I change it?
I have read through other responses - from back in November... Tried everything. Must have at one point tried to use new email for apple id - but it won't let me do it now. Frustrating!,,
appleid.apple.com
You can track down past appleID's there and also do edits and password resets.

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?Re: Cant verify 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... -

What should i do if my new email address is already been used for an apple ID?
I have updated my itunes account with my new email address and I obviously want any further emails from apple or itunes to be sent to my new email address but I can't add my new email address s my primary email address as I'm getting a message to say "the email address you entered is already being used for an apple account. If it is yours, you can cancel and sign in using that apple account".

HT1918 This email address is already in use as an apple id
My Apple ID where I have all of my past purchases, is an old email address that will soon be gone. I know how to change it at "appleid.apple.com" but what I would prefer to do is to use my newer iCloud email address (where I own really nothing)
When I try to make this change at "appleid.apple.com" the system will not let me because that email is already 'in use' as an Apple ID.
Does anyone know how to make this work? I would really rather not create some new gmail account.Try here:
iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'
FT, GameCenter and Messages are the same in this regard) -
I changed my email address, which then changed my userid for itunes. however, on my ipad, it still comes up old userid email address. how do i change this on the ipad
Tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of it, and then log back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on your iPad

Thank you agian for trying to help.
I should have looked closer at your system info on your OP. You're on 10.7 (I'm not) and apparently things are set up differently there. My apologies. I hope someone else will post here. If not, you should probably start a new thread in the 10.7 forum. Good luck to you. -

On the Update Apple ID screen to use ICloud, I get a red message that email address is already being used. It does not accept my email address? I do not understand what the screen is asking me. Is this because I am using the apple ID on a netbook for this note or what.
Is there a way to bypass this screen if I don't want to use ICloud? I don't want to screw up the original setup of my imac. If I could get to the desktop, then I would know what OS and programs are in my machine.Hi, hopefully you've called Apple on this... you have 90 days free phone support.

Hi priceg924;
I hope you are having a great day and sorry to learn that you are having this issue.
Let's try this -
To help you better I will need to know the following; What printer do you have? Please include complete printel model.
It may help later if you let me know what (OS) Operating system you are using.
For a very complete list of troubleshooting steps in regards Eprint go to this article Click here.
Before you try any troubleshooting steps do the following;
- Erase all cookies and browsing history.
- Do not include signatures in your email.
- Restart the computer.
I will also take the following general steps to ensure that this is not creating an issue.
- Set an Static IP address to the printer. Depending on your printer model will be the procedure to do this.
- Use Google public DNS servers which are 8.8.8.8 and alternate Server is 8.8.4.4 the way you set this is
Also this is what I heard from other members of the forum.
I heard here (other members of the community) that there is an issue that engineer are working on diligently that may be affecting this particular process. At the same time I know that other members have some success using this steps aforementioned.
Hope this helps and let me know if I can help you in any other way;

New ipad3,just getting started,trying to get on FaceTime but when I try to set up a message appears saying my email address is already in use. I can not get any further, help please
Millietrixie-
Are you trying to call yourself to test FaceTime? If so, you must have a second E-Mail address registered with your Apple ID. In other words, there must be a different E-Mail address on each unit.

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.
