changing my appleID

Hi,

I have been looking to change my apple ID to gmail account for a while now. I realized my gmail ID was being used by someone earlier. I disconnected my gmail ID and now I see that there is no apple ID assigned to it. However, I still can't change me apple ID.


How do I get around this?


Thanks,

Syed Hussaini
