When I try to change my Apple ID's email address (a Hotmail address), I get the message This email address is not available. Choose a different address.
The email address I intended to change (a Gmail address) is mine and I had another Apple ID opened with that earlier. I was not able to delete that account, as Apple doesn't allow that. Hence, I put a Yahoo email in the account so I could remove the Gmail from the account. So, currently, there is no Apple ID registered with the Gmail address.
- Why can't I switch my current Apple ID to the Gmail address?
- Should I transfer all my info to the Gmail as a newly Apple ID and use that if the change is not possible?

Had exact same problem. Called Apple Support. Explained problem to them. Changing emails on Apple ID's is a little tricky so my call had to be bumped up to the next level of support, but the problem was quickly ironed out. And I had THREE email addresses going! LOL!
