When asked to verify my account it says I will receive an e-mail but I am not receiving one.
When asked to verify my account, it says I will receive an e-mail, but I have not received one. Help!!!!
ok... i figured out "A" solution.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Manage your account", enter your old apple id email and password, then edit the verification email to a functional email address. This will send the email verification to your newly chosen apple id. PLEASE NOTE, this email address can NOT be a MobileMe (@me.com or @mac.com) email address OR an address already verified on an existing apple id (some folks added and secondary email address to their MobileMe apple id).
Here's where it gets even more confusing. You've now changed your apple id email. Problem is you need to reset the password you never created (lol). Go back to https://appleid.apple.com/, choose "Reset your password", then enter your newly changed apple id email address and follow the instructions.
Now, log into that email account and open the email to reset your password. Follow those instructions.
Now that you've changed your apple id email address, reset that password you are ready to finally verify your apple id. Open your email account and follow the instruction (link) to verify account. It will ask you for you (new) apple id email and (new) password.
Finally, now that everything is verified, you will now need to go into your iTunes, iPhone, iTouch and anything else associated with the old apple id email and update your log in info. You are now free to resume the services that worked just fine before the self-destruct button was pressed.
I love Apple as a whole but, wow... I feel like I'm at the beginning of MobileMe again.
Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
ON A POSITIVE NOTE:
I appeared to loose nothing at this time through this process (i.e. music, apps, credits, etc.) except perhaps my cool. :-)

I opened an itunes account and when asked to verify my account, the link to verify was not sent
I opened and itunes account and when asked to verify my account, the link to click on was not there.
Okay, so I just got around to 'trying' to create and Apple ID for my daughter for her ipod as suggested above BUT I accidentally used her b-day and of course she is not old enough!!! So then I got off the internet etc and tried to create an apple ID for her using my b-day and it still would NOT let me, saying that I do not meet the minimum age reqirements!:( I am SO frusterated right now...it is not like I was going to let her have any control over what she purchases anyways, seeing as how she is 7yr. and we are generally strict about what she listens to. Is there any way that I can do this for her?
Thanks! -
My ipod has had a previous owner How do I change my ipods email address so that when I try to down load anything it asks for the previous owners password but when I go to my account it says its my email my account but not when I try to download can anyone please help me ????Plus it still has some of the previous owners pictures and videos on it that I want to delete and can't????? Also is there a way to kill the apps that u have used throughout the day the battery doesn't last long at all ??????
- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.

I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEATS HAVE ONE THING PRIVATE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TO SHARE!!!
Please helpthanks,

It sounds like that your email is associated to another Apple ID. You may want to check her Apple ID at applid.apple.com, and see if your email is linked to it.

I am trying to sign up for icloud using windows 7. When I enter my apple id it says "this is a valid apple id but is not an icloud account". Where do I create an icloud account?
I already quoted the minimum requirements, look in the post before yours.
You will have to upgrade your Mac to at least 10.7.5, upgrades are not free, you buy them from the App Store. Mountain Lion is the best but your Mac must be compatible.
Here is a list of compatible machines.
Also note that some older apps (Office 2004, Appleworks) will not run on Mountain Lion. -
I have successfully restored my iPhone 3 gs( Ios ) by itunes. After activation it is asking for activation. When I am going for activation its saying that no SIM card is inserted, but I have already Ufone SIM card is inserted. I checked it with other SIM card like Zong etc but the response was same i.e; no SIM card is inserted. It not catching the signals. I am trying to use my wifi to activate my iphone but it iss not processing then i used itunes to activate by it's again saying that no sim card is detected.
My all contacts and all data is in this mobile. Now Iam unable to contact anyone. Please help me. How can I sort it out?
Thank you

Wazir AliWell, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

I recently purchased tunes with iTunes gift card. I still have $ left on my card and now I'm asked to verify my account. Why is this necessary?
Because iTunes simply wants you to verify your name & address is correct in your account info.

Hello there, hannahsmom811.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews the steps for how to authorize and deauthorize computers with iTunes. It also offers up information on how to get help if these steps still don't resolve your issue:

I am trying to install free apps but am being asked to verify payment account first, why is this happening and will I be charged?
Are you currently in the country where your iTunes account is based ? You won't be charged for downloading free apps (some free apps do then allow you to make in-app purchases to unlock extra features, though you can turn that off via Settings > General > Restritions > In-App Purchases 'off'), but if you add or change the credit card details on your account then you are likely to receive a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - that should disappear within a few days or so.
Store holding charge : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
If you only want to download free apps then there are instructions on this page for how to create a new account in your country's store without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 -
my imac hasn't downloaded up to date versions of Mac OS X version 10.6, when I ask for a software update it says my software is up to date but i am running v10.5.8
v10.6 isn't an update, it's an upgrade. You must purchase v10.6 / Snow Leopard.

i have ordered an i-pad and cancelled it the other day. I have used my indian debit for that order. So money got debited immediately. Apple has sent an email saying that it is successfully cancelled. But money is not yet credited into my account. please let me know what is happening. I cancelled the order on April 9th. Its already been more than 15 days.
Your best corse of action would be to either email apple support or ring them giving them your debit I'd and the order number where they will be able to look at what's wrong and set u going on the right track
