I'm trying to change my Apple ID but am getting the message "This email address is not available." Can you help me?

It means the email address you are trying to use is already in use or was used on another Apple ID. So it cannot be used.

If you see a message that the email address you want to use isn't available or is already in use, check that you or a family member aren't already using that email address with a different Apple ID. If a family member is using that email address, remove it from their account then try to use it. 


Try a different email address.
