"Apple ID's email address cannot be verified" for Find my iPad

I just bought my iPad and am trying to set up the "Find my iPad" functionality. However, I keep getting an error message that the email address of my Apple ID cannot be verified even as I am looking at my computer screen that says that my Apple ID's email address *has* been verified. Very frustrating!!! Any ideas?

Same issue trying to set up iCloud on a MacBook Air today after updating to Lion 10.7.2. Probably have to wait a day or two for Apple to fix it. Knowing them it will take hours or days for them to even acknowledge it.

Try "resetting" your Apple ID password > Apple - My Apple

I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

Hi,
I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
"Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
Help???

If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address. Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link. Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

I am trying to change or add the email address which is attached to my itunes account. I keep getting a notice saying email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Im sure its one of my devices. How can I get my current email address added?

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

I´m getting the following message: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.

When trying to add a new account I´m getting this error message: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
I didn´t know I have another Apple ID. How can I find out which Apple ID is that one and how can I add this email address to the Apple ID I currently use? Thanks

Are you sure you don't have another ID? If you purchased Apple hardware you may very well have been given an ID as part of the registration process. You can check this by going to http://appleid.apple.com and clicking 'Find My Apple ID'. Follow the instructions and it should list any IDs you have.
However once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't use it with another (even if it's removed from the first) so you are probably going to have to use another address, such as a free one from Yahoo or GMail.

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

What does this mean "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID."

I tried adding additional email to my daughters icloud account and this is what error message showed up "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID." I think he has another account on phone yo prevent me from tracking

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That means that the email account you wanted to use is already being used by another Apple ID, so you need to remove that email account from the Apple ID which is using it.

I created an iTunes account and finished by having a verification email sent out. I never got the email and when I get the note to resend it it won't let me tap on it and below it says, email address is already verified for another Apple ID

Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.

When I try to change ID get the following message:Email address is already verified for another Apple ID

I just got an iphone 5 and want to establish an apple ID. I have 2 apple IDs: both are associated with my son. One uses my email address the other his. The one using my email adress is being used by him: apps, itunes etc. The one associated with his email address has nothing going on.So... I have changed the latter to be associated with my wife's email so that I might switch the IDs so that his email is connected with his apps and itunes. No problem. Then, I tried to change the ID with my email address with his (the one I just changed), but I continue to get the message :Email address is already verified for another Apple ID. Does it take time for the system to disassociate his email with an apple ID? Is there something I am missing?

In my experience, I have seen it take days. However, if the issue still persists a week from now, I'd check with iTS, as they can look up in directory services to see if you've (or someone else) has inadvertently combined this with other Apple IDs... A very common thing since many users are not aware what they have even done.

Email address cannot be used for iMessage

Just set up an icloud email address for my daughter. I want her to be able to use that icloud email address to send iMessages to me or her mother using our iPads and iPhones.
I set up the icloud email address for her with no problem and am able to e-mail her with it and she is able to send emails back to me with it.
Went into Settings>Messages>Add Another Email. I typed in the icloud email address I set up for her and received the following error message:
"This email address cannot be used for iMessage."
I do not know why I received this error message. The icloud email account was set up.
I also went into the Messages app on my phone and sent a iMessage to the iCloud e-mail account and received a response that the message was delivered and Read!
If anyone has dealt with this issue before, please let me know what you think. Thank you!
Joe

So if I'm reading this right, you cannot assign multiple Apple IDs to iMessage on the same device? You have to log out of the first in order to use the second?
If this is true, does this work device to device? In other words, if she has access to an iPad and an iPhone, could you allow the iPhone to message and FaceTime through my daugther's new icloud email while the iPhone is still assigned to her mother's e-mail?
Or, is there a way to allow multiple apple IDs to iMessage and FaceTime on a sinle device WITHOUT having to disable one?
Thanks for the previous fast response and the future help.

I have 2 different email addresses for Facetime. I now cannot receive or make calls on one of the emails. I deleted, then readied the nonworking address, but I get a message that says "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID." Help!

When I open Facetime, I see a blank screen now- no contacts or numbers. How do I add this email address to my account? Thank you.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.
