How to create your second Apple ID with same number?
It's pity to tell you that you cannot create an Apple ID with the same phone number. If you want to create a new Apple ID for your device but don't have other phone number, you can use an email address.
Last night at work I tried making a new apple account. Got the error above when I submit. Tried again today...same thing. The error pops up under the birthdate...but the year I am putting in is 1985...also tried 1984. Any idea? Doesnt say im not old enough...just says "You cannot create an Apple ID at this time. Try again later."
Been using this site: https://appleid.apple.com/account#!&page=create
any ideas why I can't or how to create an account another way?
I just bought an iPhone SE2 and after coming home tried to create an Apple ID. It's my first Apple product, so, it's the first time i try to create an AppleID. I tried to do so on my new device (both in app store and in settings), on my 2 non-apple laptops in different browsers (Firefox, Firefox developer edition, Microsoft Edge, Safari on iPhone) and always got same message: "Your account cannot be created at this time." I even tried to create it on my old android device.
What might be causing this problem and is there a way to fix it?
I just got an iPad 9th gen, and I'm trying to set the thing up. It demands my date of birth to get an Apple ID, but it says my birthday is "invalid." "You cannot set up an Apple ID at this time." It took about half an hour to get the thing to accept my network password; is this the same kind of thing, where you just have to do it again and again until it finally accepts it? Should I give a false date just to see if it works? Should I throw this friggin' thing out the window?
i’m making an apple id but whenever i put in my birthday it said invalid birthday even though i am over 13, why is it doing this?
I had to get setup on two macs in the same week. Both times the Apple ID thing didn’t work on initial setup so I skipped it. The first app I had to find through the App Store prompted me for the id again and there it just worked with no issues. At no point did I encounter a meaningful error.
I like to check Apple system status when I can’t use their online services.

It has a contact link for when you have an issue that isn’t described. As mentioned in the comments - it’s not easy to know if you need to retry or there’s a more permanent issue, but waiting is always an option to avoid a call to support. I would try once in a few hours, then again tomorrow, then ask support if you haven’t waited a little to try again already.
