I have an iPad, iPhone and I am trying to sync, iPad to iPad. The new iPad says that my email address is already in use. What can I do to use my new iPad?

When setting-up your new iPad, are you attempting to set-up a new AppleID with the email address that identifies your existing AppleID account? If so, you will see this error.


Instead of trying to create a new AppleID account, instead you should skip this step - and sign-in using your already existing AppleID credentials.
