Cant verify Apple ID

I created a new Apple ID.

System requests that I check mail to verify

I check mail

Click on link that takes me to verification page

I enter info

I get:

"This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."

If I try to manage apple ID it says I need to verify.

I click on send verification email.

I check mail

Click on link that takes me to verification page

I enter info

I get:

"This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."


...and again and again...


ANY IDEAS?


Thanks!

Mine FINALLY works now!!!! Someone else posted this on another thread:


I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4s, I called customer service and the guy said it is a problem with their servers and to try again tomorrow. Super frustrating, super disappointing


I just with Apple would have posted something saying that the servers were overloaded though- that was REDICULOUS!!!!

Assuming your problem is exactly the same as the one listed here, I think the answer is that during major gift-giving times (like Christmas and Thanksgiving), the Apple servers just can't keep up with the demand for creating new AppleIDs. My suggestion is to hold on for a day to see if it's fixed. If not, bring it to a local Apple Store or email customer service.

It's the end of February and I'm having the same problem. I call their support and get the automated system that tells me to go to their website. ARGHHHH! I've wasted 2 hours of my Friday night on this. I can't believe that even with the hundreds of posts from people with the same problem that a) it hasn't been fixed yet and b) no one has thought to respond on this thread. Seriously not impressed with apple.
