    Hello spooner68,

     

    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to create an Apple ID for your daughter.  Because her email address is associated with your Apple ID, you are receiving the message that the email address is in use. 

     

    To remedy this, you will have to first remove her email address from your account using steps 1-3 of the section titled "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" in the article below and then attempt to create her Apple ID with her email address:

     

    How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID

    If you have an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID, you may need to remove it from your other Apple ID before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.

    1. Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
    2. Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete. Delete.jpg
    3. Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.
