I purchased a new iPad for myself. This one is my husband’s. Apple ID says my email was taken. I tried to reset. Although I have not received an email. So I tried setting my up my iPad with my email today. Eager to play with it. But now Apple ID says my email is invalid. Having so much trouble and I don’t want to give up n return my ipad. Thank you so much for helping n taking the time for me.

Is the e-mail address belonging to your husband?

Note: Everyone in your family should have their own Apple ID, Apple ID shouldn't be shared.

You can create your own Apple ID by using a your e-mail address.

Note: The e-mail address must be valid and has not been used in an Apple environment before.

To create an Apple ID start here with your e-mail address => https://appleid.apple.com
