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!

Seems like apple is falling a part. I'm having the same problem. I know lots of people who cant upgrade their itunes due to problems. Their system at apple seems to be a mess. I wish they would actually address these problems and at least say we know and are working on it. I have a brand new ipad sitting in front of me that is a paper weight because I cant verify my account so it wont even let me load free apps. All these discussions have are person after person with the same problems and no fixes. Dont want to be an apple hater but its starting to look that way.

I don't know :s , actually i found this discussion they have the same problem and it seems they found the solution but , I don't understand ;s


their message went like this " I think I figured it out. I had the same issue. I used another email address. Then it asked me to change my email address to match the new password. I said yes. Then I changed the apple id again to my gmail. Then I changed my associated email address to match the gmail. Sounds confusing but it was very quick."


anyone understood ?
