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!

Having exactly the same problem, wanted to update my Apple ID email and now stuck in a verification loop, have sent an email to Apple but says response could take up to 48 hours. Do they monitor these forums to see what problems are occuring?! It's ridiculous that you can't set up an new Apple ID, how many people are new to iPhone, iTunes, iPad every day?! Lots I imagine.

I'm having the same problem. I tried editing my ID, then it would ask me to change my password (again), and still I would encounter the same response. I had already created 2 accounts and been charged twice too for registering, but when I try to verify, same freaking message comes up.


I think it's somewhat useless to post complaints here. I've just been here a couple of minutes, seen this thread, and obviously, a lot of people were experiencing the same problem. But I have not seen a response from an Apple representative that would solve this dilemma. If there is anybody from this thread that had somehow figured out a way to solve this issue without waiting for Apple's response, please let us know. Hard to depend or wait for a response that you are not sure whether it's gonna come or not.
