Apple ID change

Hi, I need to change the e-mail address which is used as Apple ID but the system does not allow me to use new one as it says is already used for notification. How can change the e-mail used for notification?

Log into your Apple ID and you should be able to remove the address.


Apple ID - Manage   


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.
