This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID

hi
i had two apple accounts
and just wanted to change the primary email address for the both with each other
when i changed the first one my old email cant be used with other account then i tried replacing my old email it doesnt replace it says
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.
please help me

Yes, I am having the same problem. When I called apple they said that things were "tied up somehow" with another account that has a do different birthday than me. Uuuuuhh? So that means someone else can log in?... I have a feeling there is a big vulnerability with the three login options, just like with the current and past password retrieval. Apple had only suggested that I delete my current set up on my serviced and make a new ID and email.
I Just got a new email and made a new Apple ID account For now. I was hoping the email would work itself out. I assumed If I could make sure everything was verified, not associated with another account, and try to get rid of the alternate id and second email option also used to sign in (seen in Apple ID management) that could possibly be construed or mixed up with something else that it would eventually free up and become "available" again. Unfortunately im still waiting In hopes in just needs to recognize the email isn't associated with anything.
I have had a few major concerns with apple products lately especially with security. My iPhone 4s was hacked too. Some ******* was listening/recording and when I hooked to Internet he sent out the recorded portion that was available. Talk about ****** up.

All good, I loved with AppStore and now everything seems to be back to normal.

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

Dad set up an incorrect email for his Apple ID. I have deleted the ID but his email address is not available?

Hi
My Dad has set up his Apple ID with an old email address. I have deleted this ID and tried to create a new one with his correct email address. System is telling me that this email address is not available. What am l meant to do when this is Dads only email address? I have tried to answer the DOB question with no luck. I am trying to send to my rescue email address but l cannot get that option.

Hi willett75,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like his email address may already be in use as an Apple ID and the system is directing you to try to reset that password via date of birth and security questions. Below is the link for assistance resetting a password, but in your situation, if you cannot get past DOB, it may be necessary for you to follow the link to contact Apple Support in the article.

If these steps didn't help you to reset your password, contact Apple Support.
Have a great day,

I upgraded to iOS x mavericks on my iMac now i cannot access my iPhoto i get this messageThis update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

I upgraded to iOS x mavericks on my iMac now i cannot access my iPhoto i get this messageThis update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. I have not changed anything thankyou for any info.

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, elect the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

HP G62 -Windows 10 "this version of Windows not available for Windows 10 app"

I'm trying to schedule the Windows 10 upgrade and receive the message "this version of Windows not available for Windows 10 app". I have Win7 SP3, enough memory, everything else it says it requires. the only thing I can't verify is the graphics driver. What might the problem be?

I am using a HP G62a50sg ( APU ATI HD4250 Mobility and ATI HD 5470 Mobility ) . The Windows 10 Update showed that there were no compatabilty problems and I did the upgrade. Everything works fine only the graphics are the problem. I have installed Windows 10 64 bit (Clean) around 5 times and tried all the drivers starting from Windows 7 , Windows 8 ,orginal Notbook drivers von HP and also from AMD ( CC 15.7 Mobility) . Nothing seems to work. Windows 10 reconizes the graphics but doesn`t support the switchable graphic funktion. I think it is an issue with the APU HD4250 Mobility and the Chipset. The desktop has only the 1024 X 768 option and in the graphics manager ( desktop) shows the Graphics as Basic Microsoft Display Driver. I am still trying but I am running out of ideas.

When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter?

Hey guys,
I found out an answer by myself...
The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go !

Email Address Is Not Available

I just changed my email address for my Apple ID to my work email. I tried to change it right back to my personal gmail address and I get this message "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."
When I go to appleid.apple.com and I login with my work address, I do not see my gmail address listed. Naturally I logged out and clicked "Find Out" under "not sure if you have an Apple ID?" I put in my name and personal gmail address. It responds "
We can't find an Apple ID matching the information you provided. You may have entered a name that doesn't exactly match our records. Try again"
Which sounds like my gmail address is not tied to any accounts. THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
This is SO frustrating. What do I do?
I've racked my brain. Any ideas?

I am trying to reset my security questions, however the reset security info to email address is not available to me

I am trying to reset my security questions, however the send reset security info to email option is not available to me.
Anyone know how I can fix this please.

The option to send reset info only shows if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. As you aren't getting the option then that implies that you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions - so you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

may not be responding.�
When i trying to open xls and PDF file
Expected Result:
All type of file attachments should be supported with all valid email address
(servers).
Pls help me about this senario:
What is problem in this case:
I am sending code
Session session =getSession(host,port,secure);
session.setDebug(this._debug);
               Transport trans = connect(host,port,session,userID,password);
               Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
               InternetAddress[] iAddr = null;
               message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromName));
               iAddr = InternetAddress.parse(toUserName, true);
               message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, iAddr);
               message.setSubject(subject);
               //BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
               Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
               MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart=null;
if(dataLocation!=null && dataLocation.equalsIgnoreCase("ATTACHMENT")){
                    String tmpName=fileName;
                    if( inputstream != null)
                              tmpName = makeAttachment(fileName,inputstream);
                    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
                    DataSource source = new FileDataSource(tmpName);
                    messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
                    fileName = fileName.replace('\\', '/');
                    fileName = fileName.substring(fileName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1,
                              fileName.length());
                    messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
                    multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

First, when sending your message, the filename should be a simple
filename, not containing any directory names.
It sounds like your mail server might be doing some special
processing of attachments, perhaps to prevent viruses.

How do we deduce (if we can) SMTP address for an exchange account with only x500 address available? In what cases SMTP address is not available for exchange accounts (please see details below)?

I am using PR_SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS to retrieve sender's email address for exchange mails, but for some mails I only get the exchange X500 addresses. In such case, I can use PR_SENDER_ADDRTYPE
to check the type but when I detect an X500 address instead of an SMTP one, is there a way I can enhance SMTP lookup? What might be the reasons that SMTP address is available for some External senders and not for others, as in my case? I am using MAPI CDO
1.2.1 with Exchange Server 2010.
MSDN Question

If you getting an X500 Address that generally means there is Directory object (in Active Directory) for that sender, if its an external sender then it most probably there is an AD Contact from that Sender. The best thing to do is just use resolve method
in CDO to resolve the X500 Address to the Directory object and you should then be able to get the associated SMTP Address from the recipient object. (you also just use LDAP to lookup Active Directory directly).
Cheers

Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 not available for use in iMovie 08

I have a Logitech Quickcam pro 9000 which works great in ichat, and skype. I can record with it using Quicktime (although the framerate really is slow) but for some reason the camera is not available in the pick list when I click on the camera icon in imovie 08. Is this a bug? Should imovie 08 be able to detect my camera?
thanks!

I pluged it in with out driver and it worked. Both on skype and ichat

Email address apparently not valid for iTV

A few times recently I have been unable to download a film as apparently, my email has changed or is invalid; the suggestion is made that I visit my account at the iTunes store. My email address in the iTV settings and at iTunes match exactly and so I am becoming rather frustrated! Can anyone offer some help?

Hello kkreshel,
I think I know what the issue is. Try removing the "FW:" tag from the subject line of the forwarded email. Let me know if that helps.
