Why is it taking so long to receive my confirmation email for my new iTunes account?

I just turned 18 today, and got a new iPad 2. I have completed all the registration questions to get a new iTunes account, but the confirmation email has not arrived in over 5 hours! Any suggestions?

Yes I think it might take awhile, 5 hours is not too long, but I know what you mean about usually getting confirmation emails right away.. I can't recall how long it took me to recieve my confirmation email, as I registered years ago.  It could come at anytime.  You will get it soon.  If I were you, I wouldn't be worried.  I'd just give it more time.

  • HT4436 When I first purchased an iPhone, I used an email I no longer have access too when creating my account.  I've changed this email for my regular iTunes account, but the cloud defaults to the old email address as the account.  How do I change this?

    How do I change an iCloud account using an old email address I no long have access too?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Cannot receive verificati​on email for My Best Buy account

    I have a My Best Buy account and the Gamers Club Unlocked. I have created an account, but a verification email will not send to my email address. I cannot change the email address either, because it says an email has been sent to verify the account. Please help me verify my account.

    Hi jhassels,
    Welcome to the Best Buy forum, and thank you for posting!
    I attempted to look over your My Best Buy account using the email address you registered with the forum; however, I was unable to find an active account.  With that being said, it is likely that the email address we have on file is not up-to-date.  Please send me a private message with the below information, by clicking on the blue button within my signature, and I will see that I can do to help link your accounts.

  • Why is it taking so long to get my serial number

    I have been waiting 10 days to receive a serial number for the CS6 design standard student edition. I've sent all the info including my proof with picture name and date, but it seems my case has been forgoten. Fair enough my student ID is in japanese, but so is the product I bought including the reciept. I am also registered in an APAC account, so I think all is in order. I just don't see why it is taking so long.

  • Why is it taking so long to back up on my external hard drive?

    I have a WD 1TB 3.0 USB external hard drive & im transfering 200GB of data.
    Why is it taking so long to back up all my data onto my exernal hard drive using time machine?
    I turn it on every day for about 12 hours to backup.
    I think it will take about 4-5 days to complete, is this normal?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

  • Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

    Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

    How long is "so long"?
    Some product downloads are up to 1.6GB; that can take some time - very much depending on your Internet connection.  Check http://www.download-time.com/
    For a test, I just downloaded Illustrator CC 2014 (1.6 GB), and the download completed within 13 minutes (and I am 10,000 km away from the Adobe download servers).
    Try downloading from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?

    Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?
    If I am not able to download the new applications, due to an extremely slow connection, does Adobe have other means to help me obtain the software?
    Are there any 'other' solutions?

    Yes, I was able to finally download two out of three of my applications. I waited three hours to get two pieces of software, and I still need to download one more application.
    While talking to the customer service department in India, I was told that I could not get help in bypassing my slow Internet connection. Even though I have been a loyal and law abiding customer for thirteen years, Adobe's customer service department treated me like a piece of crap. All I wanted to do is get my applications on cd, so I can bypass the buggy and long downloading periods. I tried desperately to explain: (1) I have been a loyal customer for thirteen years, (2) I bought and committed to a yearly subscription, (3) I have followed Adobe's legal rules since day one, (4) I have no problems with the software's DRM, and (5) I love and support Adobe products.
    Regardless about how much I sympathized with Adobe's position, I could not get your customer service department to 'care about me'. I walked away feeling depressed and defeated.
    As a result of going through a horrible customer service experience, while also struggling with the change to cloud, I started to think about a change in career. Why do I want to be a graphic and web designer? I spent a crap load of money on an education, so that I can become a slave to the industry's dominate software maker. If it was not for the fact that Adobe's software is the industry's standard, the recent events with your customer service department would have made me walk away.
    It sucks that your company has a 90% strangle hold on the industry I love.

  • Why is it taking so long to download iCloud onto new phone

    Why is it taking so long to download my iCloud onto new phone

    What does download iCloud mean? You don't download iCloud. You download the content that is in your iCloud backup to your phone. If you have a great deal of content in the backup, it can take a good bit of time.
    Define "so long". That doesn't mean anything to anybody here. It's a relative term and we have no idea how much time "so long" is to you.
