Apple asks me to verify my email address but when I do, I never receive a verification email

Im trying to use my current Apple ID to set up my iCloud account on my iPad2, iPhone4 and both mac computers. On the ipad, i go to settings>iCloud and enter my apple id and password. It gives me a message telling me to verify my account. So I log into my apple ID settings and click verify account, and I dont get a verification email..... any advice??

Not sure who you isp is, but some have reported that the verification e mails are getting sidetracked into a spam filter. Check there.

Have Apple asked me to verify my email address?

I've received an email addressed to someone else asking me to verify my email address as a new rescue email, I'm guessing this is a scam?
Dear Aaron Gardner,
You recently added ***** as a new rescue email address for your Apple ID. To verify this email address belongs to you, click the link below and then sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Verify now >
Why you received this email.
Apple requests verification whenever an email address is added to an Apple ID. Your email address cannot be used without verification.
If you didn’t make this change or if you believe an unauthorized person is attempting to access your account, you can reset your password by going to My Apple ID.
Sincerely,
Apple Support

I would go with the presumption that it's phishing. Or at the very least, someone tried to do something with your account.
I'd change the password on your Apple ID, but don't do anything via any link in that e-mail. Sign in via your iTunes and do it through a known good link (as in via the manage your ID part of iTunes)

Querying so-called email from 'Apple' asking me to "verify the email address accociated (sic) with your Apple ID."

I'm guessing this is a fraud?

Yes, it's a phishing attempt to get your id and password - you could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]

Can't update apps. I have reset my Apple ID to my new e mail address but when I try to download or update apps. my old, no longer functioning one, automatically comes up asking me for a password, which I don't know and can't have sent to that ID!

I used to have my old work e mail address as my Apple ID but have now changed it to my new one, had all of the verification e mails and everything. However, when I try to download or update my apps, my original ID comes up and I can't log in. Can't remember my original passowrd and can't have a reminder sent to the original e mail as it no longer exists..... help!

Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

Did Apple recently send out a communication asking me to verify my email address?

You are welcome...it is always good to ask about things like this...this phishing one has been taking many forms, verify, change info, all kinds of things you are asked to provide.

"To help protect your privacy, we'll sometimes ask you to verify your email address even though you're already signed in. Verify your email This link will expire 24 hours. Sincerely, The iCloud Team" Is it legit?

Why?

It's spam.

Call Apple and ask for Account Security.

HT2731 Instead of asking me to verify my email address i'm asked to contact i support. Anyone know why this might be?

Contact itunes support and ask.

I have a new email address but when I try to open apple ID my iPad automatically opens the old email and says my password is incorrect. I can't get around it.

I have a new email address but when I am asked to sign in with my Apple ID for Apple store my iPad automatically shows my old email and rejects my password. How do I get around this?

I kind of agree with Philly on this one. If you get a new email address, there is no need to establish an entirely new account to use that address. You just need to modify your account to show the new email address. This way all your purchase history and rights to purchased apps stays in place. Creating a new iTunes/Apple account each time your email address changes really doesn't make sense in my opinion. I only point this out for future searchers who end up on this thread.

Having problem buying online.need your help since it's my first time here.apple is asking for my billing address but when i enter my address here in qatar,it's saying i should enter a valid zip code within the u.s.does it mean i can't buy online

To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:
http://www.apple.com/qa/
Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue.

HT4623 While updating I was asked for a "Rescue Email". I entered my email address but when I pushed "Next", I cannot advance. I seem to be stuck at this level. Suggestions?

I can't answer why you are not able to connect to WiFi but I can tell you to try the basic things, turn WiFi off and on again, restart your iPad, reset network settings, reboot your router, forget your WiFi network and try again .....
The issue with the email is probably a password issue. Make sure that your password is entered in the incoming mail server setting and in the outgoing mail server setting as well. The outgoing server setting can be accessed by tapping on the SMTP under the Outgoing Mail Server Setting and then tapping the smtp.comcast.net in the next window under the Primary Server Setting.
The outgoing mail server setting will be in the first window when you tap on the Comcast account in the Mail settings.
Look here for a few different web sites for help with the WiFi.

HT204053 I show my Apple ID as verified on the website but when I look at the ICloud icon it says the account is not verified. How can I verifiy?

My Apple ID is showing verified on the website but on the iPad shows as account not verified. It says to check email with instructions but I don't have an email showing these instructions. Any ideas?

I did that but when I go into Settings - iCloud - to turn off the Find my IPhone option, it still asks for the old email address password. Any ideas?
