apple id change error
hi,
tried to change my apple id, to another email address, got error that this new email is in use for notifications. Would not like to create another email address just for this purpose, so what to do?

Have you removed the email address from your Apple ID?
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.
