nickname taken error

I think Andrew has it. Worked for me. Believe you need to put in this '@nickname' format in the nicmname box on the review.

How has there still been NO response to this issue? Great system, guys.

I could be wrong, but I think I just figured this out. You have to go into your Itunes on a computer, and under your profile, give yourself a nickname. Then, when writing a review, don't write anything in the nickname spot and submit it. I hope this works. Regardless, Apple needs to figure this out. It has been very annoying for me this week.

Yep, I have the same issue. I've submitted and email to iTunes Support directly, hopefully they'll respond. If they do I'll post the solution on here. Seems to be a problem thats been around for a while but Apple don't seem want to fix it.

Apply are you there, are you listening, will you respond????

Tried that. Gives me the same error message

This worked for me

I am having the same problem and tried many different Nicknames and still can't get anywhere. I will just not rate anything since I already wasted enough time on something that Apple clearly does not care about or want to fix

How to fix this solution??

I can't able to profile like menu in iTunes!!!

SO frustrating. Last week I wrote a very long, hopefully helpful review and the duplicate nickname error erased it. This is happened two more times in the last week, but at least I have remembered to select the text of my review and copy it before trying each nickname. My third try worked this time, but who knows if that same nickname will then be taking the next time I want to review something? Why in gods name don't they just use a version of your Apple ID with a bunch of asterisks in it or something like that?

help!

Same issue, and also the entire review disappears, meaning don't write a review unless you either copy into clipboard before posting, or are 100% sure your nickname is available, and the App store is bug-free.

Writing this, by the way, and using the arrow keys on my Apple-recommended Logitech Type+ keyboard autoscrolls to the bottom of the page; regardless of which arrow key is pressed.

Dear Apple,

You are losing a customer next time I need to upgrade my products unless you change your attitude towards customer service. Updating to iOS 10 was a bona fide disaster. As a customer I need to be able to look forward to using your products, not rue the gauntlet I have to run whenever an update is in the making.
