Been waiting 24 hrs for apple ID verification is this normal

Seems like so many are having the same problem, but Apple has not offered any advice or statements yet. I was also asked to verify my apple id, but no email arrived and I have been locked out of my itunes account and icloud ever since...this apple id has been verified for many years already and it makes no sense that it needs re-verification. I researched my account at http:// appleid.apple.com and found that my original apple id ([email protected]) was still associated with my current email address, which happens to be my current apple id as well. (This merging occurred a few years ago at the request of Apple, mind you. I did not choose to make this change. But now my @mac.com original apple id and my current email address are no longer merged for access itunes account.)
So, I reverified my original @mac.com apple id which asked for a password change and credit card information for itunes. I reluctantly did this simply to have access to itunes...but, this created a "NEW" itunes account that is no longer linked to my regular itunes account that I am currently locked out of. (Strangely, the email address associated with my @mac.com account is the same as my old account....I am totally confused now)
I then signed into my iCloud account, through my iphone, using the @mac.com account. And now that part works. But still locked out of itunes account.

HT201269 How long does step 6 take. I have been waiting 30 min for it to appear in iTunes

HOw long does it take step 6 to complete? I've been waiting 30 min for it to reappear in iTunes

Howdy Kathleen,
It sounds like your iPhone is syncing to your library, but seems to be getting stuck on the last step. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help you resolve that issue, named:
iTunes: Resolve USB-related alerts
See if the cable connection at the device or computer has come loose or unplugged.
Unplug the cable you're using to connect your iOS device from the USB port on your computer, and then reconnect it. Then unplug it from your iOS device, and reconnect it.
Remove any third-party battery packs or cases from the device and ensure that the USB cable is connected directly to the port on the device.
If your Lightning or 30-pin cable is connected to a keyboard, display or USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the computer instead.
Close any virtualization apps (such as Parallels or VMWare).
These apps may interfere with your computer's ability to communicate over USB if they aren't properly configured, or up to date. If this resolves the issue, contact the developer of the app to see if an update is available.
Restart your computer.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If you're using an accessory or third-party cable to connect your device, try using an Apple cable with the device instead.
Update to the latest version of iTunes if you haven't already.
Disconnect other USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then, reconnect your iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect the other USB devices one at a time. Make sure your iOS device is still recognized by the computer after adding back each device.
If one of these steps resolves the issue, but it comes back later, make sure you haven't changed how the device is connected. For example, check to see if you plugged the device into a specific accessory, or used a specific cable that reintroduced the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week. I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting. I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails. Any ideas?

At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple: - You've taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you... and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?

Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple, see below and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?
Thank you.
You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you.
The rescue email address that you gave us is [email protected]
Just click the link below to verify, sign in using your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts.
Verify Now >
The rescue email address is dedicated to your security and allows Apple to get in touch if any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions. As promised, Apple will never send any announcements or marketing messages to this address.
When using Apple products and services, you’ll still sign in with your primary email address as your Apple ID.
It’s about protecting your identity.
Just so you know, Apple sends out an email whenever someone adds or changes a rescue email address associated with an existing Apple ID. If you received this email in error, don’t worry. It’s likely someone just mistyped their own email address when creating a new Apple ID.
If you have questions or need help, visit the Apple ID Support site.
Thanks again,
Apple Support

In that case, someone is trying to hi-jack your Apple ID.
You should change your password immediately.

HT201317 I have been waiting 2 hours for photos in photo stream to upload

I have been waiting 2 hours for photos to go from my iphone 4s to photo stream so i can turn on iPhoto in my computer and view them. they still have not appeared. this seems ridiculous to me. Can anyone impart to me what i am doing wrong?

I have rebooted both the computer(s) and the iOS devices. I have checked to make sure the IDs that i am signed in to the cloud with are the same. I keep thinking it must be some mis-set preference but all the info i find about setting it up seems to suggest i have done that part right too. Very frustrating.....

Ive gotten 3 responses from you guys. But still no help. Can't believe it's taken this long for apple to respond to this issue and I'm very disappointed that all I did was take precaution from left to my account info and my account has been disabled since

Sad that we can't do any updates to equipment I've spent so much money in. Hope this is resolved real soon.

Who exactly are you addressing this post to? And what exactly are you posting? We are just users like you, and have no idea what you are referring to. If there is something you would like to ask - user to user - please do so. Otherwise, you are wasting your time complaining about Apple, since we are not Apple.

When i Select .. Into a VARCHAR bind variable, i have to initialize the variable before, otherwise i get an ORA-1458.A bind variable in a SQL is simply a place holder. The SQL engine has no idea what data type the value for that placeholder will be. When itself needs to return a value via that placeholder to the caller, it needs to know what the limits/size of the caller's variable is that will be receiving the value from it.
The way that the SQL engine knows what the data type and size are of a placeholder/bindvar, is by you the caller, telling it.. by binding the variable you will be using, to this placeholder.
This bind process "exposes" the data type and size of the variable that will be used for binding (sending/receiving data).

Ever since upgrading to lion my wifi has been dropping out constantly is apple going to fix this?

Ever since upgrading to lion my wifi has been dropping out constantly is apple going to fix this?

There are two possibilities, 1)it is a software problem which will be fixed.
2)It is a hardware problem, and youll have to take it to an iStore.
BUT there is something you should know.
If your under apple care, its free.
If you are not under apple care, itll cost you something to find out where the problem is (i dont live in the US so I dont know) and then extra cost for the reapair itself.

I am trying to erase all contents on my iphone 4, its been running for 6 hours now, is this normal?

I am trying to erase all contents on my phone, I am trying to get it back to factory settings, I don't have any jailbreaks or anything like that on my phone, The circle thing has been running for six hours now, is this normal? Before I did that, I tried to do it through itunes, and it would not restore it through there either? Im at a loss?? That took only like 5 min before it says sorry it could not be restored. This is taking forever....

Hello Stephiworld,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are trying to restore the phone to its factory defaults but the process is stalled or the phone is totally unresponsive.
If the phone will respond to the Sleep/Wake button, I would turn it off the normal way, then turn it back on.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
When it turns back on try the Erase All Content and Settings option again.
If the iPhone is completely unresponsive and will not turn off normally, I would reset the device with this process from the above article:
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Cheers,
Sterling

My apps have been downloading for 2 days now is this normal

ive downloade some apps but they have been "waiting"for 3 days now is this normal ive tried to delete and reinstall also just taking forever

Reboot your phone and try again. Also try downloading the apps with a faster internet connection. Make sure that your phone's internal hard drive has enough memory to install these apps. In the event that your phone has little memory space available could result in the problem you are having. Make sure you have enough space in your phone and downlaod 1 app at a time.

Have just installed Mavericks and restarted the MacBook Pro. That was 3 hours ago and after logging in, I got my wallpaper and dock, but none of my desktop icons, just the spinning coloured wheel. It's been like that for 2 hours. Is this normal? What should I do, please?
I tried holding the on/off switch down to make it shut down, but when I turned it back on again, the same thing happened and none of the keys etc makes any difference.
HELP!!!! Please.

No, what you're experiencing is not normal.
Try booting whilst holding down the Shift key - this will allow you to boot into Safe Mode, disabling third-party kernel extensions, etc. Your Mac will be slow to boot and will operate sluggishly. That's normal. If you can get in using Safe Mode then you have some start-up item that doesn't play well with Mavericks.
Call back,

My MBpro has been running some kind of app in the background upon turning on, heating up for no cause. Is this normal since Snow Lepard? It's been updated and I also have anti-virus software too.

you're welcome....
also check activity monitor - all processes - see what's using up most of your cpu resources under % CPU....
highlight anything that's really high and hit quit process......anything over 10% is considered high - unless it's your browser....
good luck...
