Account activation email

Is there an explanation on the internet about the process of
sending an account activation email once a user has submitted their
account creation data? I have the basic idea, but, what like to see
what a professional does to implement this process using
coldfusion. Broad explanation would suffice, play by play would
make my day!:) Thanks so much in advance! Dan

Basically, the steps are these:
1. The form should have a unique user identifier, such as an
e-mail address or SSN.
2. The user completes the form and clicks "Submit".
3. Either client-side (JavaScript) or server-side
(ColdFusion) validates the form.
4. If the form is valid and the user has not already
registered, update the database with the user's information
5. The update should contain a unique value, such as an
auto-id.
6. An e-mail is sent to the user that contains a link to a
login page at the site and the unique id value.
7. The user clicks the link in the e-mail, enters the unique
id into the login form and clicks "Submit".
8. The record containing the unique id is retrieved from the
database.
9. The user now has the run of the site.

No iOS Developer Account Activation email for more than 6days!

Hi everyone,
I have purchased the iOS 1 year Developer Account, and received the INVOICE RECEIPT email telling me that I will receive the activation email within 24 hours.
However, I have not received the second, activation email with my activation code.
Have any of you experienced the same problem?
If you know the solution or origin of this issue, could you help me?
Thanks a million in advance!

Well over 48 hours now for me. I spent 3 weeks checking every few hours if enrollment was back online and now I'm having to spend additional days waiting for activation D:
They sure didn't have any trouble taknig my money though
Edit: So I managed to get hold of someone at Apple and apparently they have a problem with their internal systems that means none of the enrollments are accessible to them, or something like that. There is no ETA on a fix. Probably looking at days more.
Apple really have handled this whole process smoothly

HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Email wizard says "no accounts activated". How do I activate?

I have just received my first Blackberry via amazon, and connected to my carrier O2 using the sim from my previous phone (PAYG), and my ISP BT Broadband on my home wi-fi. When I try to send an email I get "No message services configured..." when I click through to the set-up wizard it leads me to a screen that says "No accounts activated", and offers to set up an enterprise account, which doesn't work. I have also tried KB00510 "options" - "device" - "advanced systems settings" - "host routing table" which gives "no entries". I've tried a reboot by removing the battery when switched on, to no avail. BT Broadband say it is nothing to do with them. I am able to connect to websites. Can you please help?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Given what you describe, you likely do not have the required data plan added to your old SIM. A generic data plan does not activate email nor any other BB-proprietary services. You must upgrade your plan to a level that includes the services you desire. You should talk to O2 about all of that.
Good luck!

An active email account in Outlook is required to set up iCloud

I have just installed the iCloud windows desktop tool it can see that i have contacts and calendar enteries in Outlook but doesnt reconsie that i have active email accounts working through outlook.
I have 3 email accounts running through Outlook 2 that are POP and one that is using the outlook connector for hotmail.
Any suggestions???

I don't think it will sync POP accounts. Follow the link in this reply, hopefully that helps.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16356002#16356002
My current workaround looks like this:
Set up GMAIL account(s)
Forward POP account(s) to GMAIL (and us IMAP)
Set up Outlook and iPhone to use GMAIL IMAP accounts
Use iCloud (if I can ever get it to work) to sync calendar and contacts
I tried Google for calendar and contacts, but the free version only allows one calendar. For contacts, I had to use the business version (not free) and it doesn't play well with iPhone/Outlook cagegories/folders.
Hope that's helpful.

BB 9320 Activating Email account: Enterprise?!

Hi! I'm a new blackberry user, I've tried searching thru google on how to activate an email account. Whenever I click on the mail button, it shows: No accounts activated
Account activation
To activate your enterprise account, enter details provided by your system administrator in the fields below
I've read that it should first give you an option: Enterprise or the Personal account. In this case, it doesn't show any option. Help please!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No, Jean, you don't need an activation code.
IF all you see is the "enterprise activation" icon, and no personal email setup icon, it means one of two things..
Your BlackBerry is not provisioned with the BlackBerry BIS Data Plan; Call your mobile provider and order or subscribe to the plan.
You have subscribed to the correct BlackBerry BIS Data Plan; Call your mobile provider and make sure they have not made a mistake with the wrong plan, and/or that enough time has elapsed to have it provision to your BlackBerry.
Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner will often 'reconnect' you to the network and to that Data Plan.

ITunes - Fraudulent account activity, Apple refusing to help

Got 2 email receipts from iTunes last night, for 2 gift cards, one for £25 and one for £75.
Logged into my iTunes account via iTunes and there they were in my purchase history, sent to some unknown hotmail address.
Removed my card details and changed my password.
Contacted iTunes through their email support to get Apple to cancel those gift cards and issue a refund.
Got a reply in 90 minutes with an offer of 5 song credits and a clear "we cannot refund your card" along with a "contact your financial institution".
After another 3 emails form me, and 3 back from Apple I'm still left with the same line "we cannot refund your card". Sent them one more email last night which has so far been ignored.
Contacted the bank this morning only to be told they can't do anything as it's a checking account not a credit card(!) They informed me that it is Apple's responsibility to refund the money as it is down to them to ensure the transactions are authorised.
I'm heading down to the bank to fill out a charge back claim form which they will send to Apple but that's all they can do...
This is beyond ridiculous.
1) There should be a phone number for the iTunes store at least for fraudulent account activity.
2) Apple, like any other company CAN refund money to a card, saying they "cannot" is a downright lie.
3) Apple must be in breach of every consumer trading law in the UK (I use the UK store) with this policy.
4) I use a secure password, I use trusted networks and no-one has access to my Mac. How the **** did the hacker get in?
5) What should I do when both Apple and the bank refuse to help? To be honest I'm not annoyed at the bank as it's not their fault. This is a security breach of Apple's system and they're liable in my opinion.
I've bought 700 items through iTunes since it started and this is how they treat me. Well no more. That gravy train is over for them.
And don't get me started on the thousands upon thousands of pounds I've spent on Apple hardware and software...

Thanks for the info.
Annoyingly the rep in question (someone called Judy) refuses to escalate the issue to somene who can look into this and perform the refund.
This is absolutely ridiculous, you're basically left with no-one to talk to (she/they are now ignoring my follow-up emails) , I've never seen anything like it. I've heard bad things about the likes of Paypal and eBay but Apple seem keen to add themselves to the list of sites not to trust due to a complete lack of customer service and boilerplate responses. Heck, Im sure last year (or it may be this coming Jan 1st) UK law changed to require online retailers to post their telephone number on the site...
This useless rep is quoting me US Federal Law when I'm using the UK iTunes store and the terms and conditions on there clearly state that the transaction is covered under UK law...
And UK law says they have to refund me.
I've dealt with Apple for years, I've used the AppleCare helpline and the Genius bar many times and every time service has been A1. I'm genuinely amazed that this type of customer service goes on on the iTunes store... And especially about such a serious issue.

Email settings problem; error sending activation email

Hi there
Hope everyone is doing well
I am having some problems with my latest user registration pages for my site
I am havving problems sending the
activation email
I have set up my server to relay emails and it works ok      I use a linux server and cpenel and outlook expres as my mail client...... I configured an email account in my cpanel called     admin @mysite.com      I used the automatic configure outlook express to configure outlook
   I can send and recieve emails to and from my Yahoo account using my yahoo adress to [email protected]     and I can send emails from outlook ex using     [email protected]     to my yahoo email
I then created the user registration pages for my site with email activation .........
All wen well then I tried to test and got the following error ....
Developer Details:
E-mail couldn't be sent. Error returned: Failed to connect to mail.mysite.com:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection timed out (code: -1, response: )]. (EMAIL_FAILED)
So I looked at my email settings in my control panel........      I have tried every possible combination of information to get it to work and I still get the same error
I have tried
mail server      mail.mysite.com                                    This is the same info that is described in the manual settings for my email config in cpanel
          port       25
   username     [email protected]                               This is the email account I set up in cpanel    web mail
   password      **********
default sender [email protected]
This is the same info that is described in the manual settings for my email config in cpanel
This is the email account I set up in cpanel    web mail
I have changed all the information Mannnnnnny times for hours and hours and still no luck
I have tried      mail server =     mail.mysite.com , my mail server IP address , www.mysite.com . etc etc etc
I have tried to     username / paassword        the cpanel username & password    /    my email account username and password ... etc etc etc
nothing works
I can find nothing to help at all on the net
I did read that the settings should be exactly the same as the working settings from outlook express....... so I checked the settings in outlook express, that work, and put all the same settings in my email settings in ADDT control panel .....
And it still does not work
I still get the same error
The strange thing is that I can send and recieve email from outlook using the email [email protected] , using the mail server    mail.mysite.com

Can someone please tell me the correct information to fill in on my email settings ......?    in detail ........
I have read the help documentation and is no help at all
I am lost
Any help would be great
Have a great day
oh one thing........ any idea why you cannot search withing forum topics anymore ...... ?
Cheers

So Mysite is your ISP. They should be able to describe on their website what settings you need.
(1) Mail Server - the name of their mail server ([email protected]?)
(2) Port - you may need to specify the actual port to be used, I know I do.
(3) Username - The user name you use when you log into your Mysite account
(4) Password - The password you use
Both username and password are case sensitive.
This information should be on one of their admin pages for explanation.
Sorry, this may not help you much.

Hi,
In Messages or iChat go to the App Menu > Preferences > Accounts
On the left is the list of Accounts that are set up.
Everyone gets Bonjour (Although by default it is not Active).
Highlight the Bonjour Account
On the right there is a Box that says "Enable this Account" which probably has a tick in it.
Select it to remove the tick.
This will turn Off the Bonjour Account.
The List may also contain any @me.com name you have set up.
This can be used in Messages as the ID for iMessages
It is also a Valid AIM screen Name.
It would helps if we knew which version of iChat and the OS you are using as there are some changes that occur
An iCloud @me.com name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier due to the checks Apple has in iChat 6 (and Messages) which iChat 5 does not do.
To also work as a Valid Screen Name the password for your @Me.com name has to be 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)

No link in activation email

I am trying to set up my account on iTunes, and having a problem with the activation email. When they send me the email and it says to "Click the link below", there is no link, just "Verify Now >". Is there another way to activate it without email or what?

You've entered [email protected] as the contact email address for your Apple ID. To complete the process, we just need to verify that this email address belongs to you. Simply click the link below and sign in using your Apple ID and password.

Wondering why you got this email?
It's sent when someone adds or changes a contact email address for an Apple ID account. If you didn't do this, don't worry. Your email address cannot be used as a contact address for an Apple ID without your verification.

thats what it says no link..i tried at least 10 times

No activation email for iTunes connect "paid" books sign-up

I signed up for my iTunes connect paid books account before Thanksgiving, and I still haven't received my activation email. I contacted customer support, but apparently they are connected only to the iTunes store, and they don't have the tools to check application status. I'm feeling lost here. Any ideas where to turn next?

Hi,
I am surprised you have not recieved a response email, try contacting Apple iBookstore support at 877-206-2092.
I reached out to them and they answered my questions super fast, my paid book has already posted to the iBook store, see below:
