I need to change my Apple ID
When I try to change my apple ID to a different email it says " Your new Apple ID cannot be the same as your notification email address. Choose a different email address." I am not sure what this means or how to fix it?

Log into your account and find the email address listed as the notification email address. Delete it and add another 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.
