Did you do a name change on the old Apple ID and now you are wanting to revert to the old Apple ID email address? Apple hasn’t published any guidance for using an address again. Normally, if your e-mail address was associated with an ID in any way, for example as a Notification email address or a Rescue e-mail address, then it can't be reused with another Apple ID for approximately one year. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again.  You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID or you can try waiting 30 days to see if that works.


Or did you create a new Apple ID and now you want to recover the old ID?


See if you can recover the ID/password.
