"Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" Problem

I have the same problem. When I go to appleid.apple.com, and login for mange my account, I try to delete de alternative mail and r clic the confirmation, missage don't work. I use Espress Lane and nothing no solution.

I'm desperate. One is icloud account ( older mobilme payment with 25 GB) and the other is for iTunes ( with any applicatons paid.

I have the same problem. I have MobileMe and two Apple ID's. I merged MobileMe but now can't use Find a Friend or iMessage because of the stupid Apple ID verification. Wasted laste 2 hours trying to verify emails to no avail.

Called Apple 2 times today after upgrading to iOS 5 and having problems with iCould, MobileMe, and email address issues. Since I do not have Protection Care and didn't want to pay $29.95 for one incidenct, I finally hung up on them. Wow! Come on, Apple!!! Why should I have to pay for your mistake? Finally had to do a work around I did not prefer.

Same problem here. Any chance on getting Apple ID mergers any time soon? Is it a copyright issue with the record labels or is it a technical issue with the sytem? Some sort of answer on why mergers are not allowed would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also having the same problem since upgrading to iOS 5. I'm using an e-mail address for my Apple ID (different than the Apple ID I use for iTunes). I can login to appleid.apple.com without a problem, however, the link for verifying the e-mail address doesn't seem to work. No e-mail is sent out. Very frustrating!

your problem actually has nothing to do with the rest of the thread above. all of our problems have to do with verifying an emal address after deleting it from an old or shared apple ID for use in another apple ID. we are all getting the error that it is still verified under another apple ID even tho we logged into apple ID support page and deleted it. please be careful when posting to threads as we are trying to get apple to fix our problem and don't want them to get confused as to what our issue is in this thread.

Add another name to the list.

I am trying to change the email address of my Apple ID and it is telling me that "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID."

So I logged into 'that' Apple ID (was actually never verified, and hasn't been used in 3+ years), and removed that email address from it.

But even though the email address is now removed from that old Apple ID account, it still can't be used in my primary one.

This really needs to be fixed if many services are now all based on your apple id and searching people based on primary email addresses.

Same problem here. Looks like Apple is beginning to show how it works after Jobs, and it's not looking good. I'm completely locked out of 5 years of purchases on the iTunes store, as well as unable to do anything with my apple developer account. My apps have problems on iOS 5 and I can't even login to provide updates for them.

"You must use an email address to login"?

"Your password must comply with this stringent set of rules"?

Think it's about time to consider letting apple go and cutting my losses on the music here before it happens again.

yep same here. not a huge deal as some others, trying to use 'find my friends' and won't let me until i verify, but i can't verify because it thinks I'm using my me.com with my older apple id (used for purchases). My apple id did have my me.com address in it but i removed it, but it had no effect on fixing it (still thinking it's in use even though it's not now).

stupid.

FIX APPLE NOW PLEASE

Unfortunately, this will not work for me. I had chose the option to make my Apple ID and email address the same before removing the other associated email address that I use for MobileMe and now I can't even see that email address but it is still somehow associated with the Apple ID I don't want to use for iCloud. This really *****.

just to be clear.... you were able to use an email address that you deleted from an old apple ID on a new apple ID you are using for iCloud? that is great. unfortunately, mine is still not working. how long ago did you delete the email from the old apple ID it used to be associated with?

OK. I was finally able to move my MobileMe account over to iCloud using the the email address that was associated with another Apple ID. They must have fix this. However, only my Calendar info was moved over. It did not move my Contacts over. 😟 Also, MobileMe on my MacBook Pro will not register my computer using the new AppleID. Things are looking a letter better, but still having issues.

Same problem. I can't set up Find Friends with my mobile me email that was a one point used as a secondary contact for my itunes account. Even though I deleated it from the itunes account it still says that email address is already verified. Same with my Messages app.

I was having all sorts of Apple ID verification problems, but all of a sudden everything started working fine yesterday afternoon.

Seems like there are lots of people working overtime at Apple this week, i'm sure things will work out for everyone over the next couple days.

I have just migrated from my iMac to a MacBook Pro. In the course of doing this and trying to set up iCloud my various accounts with Apple are in a total tangle. I can't get in to my account in the iTunes store as somehow my name and/or password has been changed.I can't use my current email address to set up iCloud as, according to Apple it is already in use. I can't get into my account with Apple for similar reasons.

How do I contact Apple for help to sort this out?
