Can't verify email address for a new apple ID

Just created a new Apple ID and when I click the link to verify my email address at id.apple.com, the page won't display. Thank you.

Have you tried opening the email on a different browser, and clicking the 'verify now' link on that - it's possible that the settings that you have for that browser are blocking the site.

Can't verify email address for receiving messages in Messages and FaceTime

In the Preferences for Messages you can set additional email addresses that others can use when sending Messages and FaceTime messages. Apple sends a verification email to the email addresses you add. I have been able to complete this process for three out of four email addresses. Two of those I added today.
The address I use the most, my long-time email address with my ISP Verizon, repeadedly fails in the process. First, the Preferences panel says 'Email sent'. Then it says 'Waiting to verify' with a link to Details. Apple's verification message never arrives in my Verizon mailbox.
At one time (pre-Mavericks?) this email worked with Messages and FaceTime, it is the address I use for iTunes purchases. I have checked the Verizon email site for Spam or blocked email addresses. Nothing there.
Any magic you can suggest?

Hi,
It does seem strange that the email works in one place and not another.
Having said that I have had an email as an Apple ID in the past then the security requirements have changed and whilst it works in some places it often needs you to verify for use in a new place.
Whilst any login to any Apple Service does check the ID and password with a central database each service is run on it's own servers.
this leads to some almost two step issues where an ID already in use is not asked to up it's security but a new app can be almost blocked.
If you go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and use the Manage option to login to that ID is it showing Verified there ?
AS an Apple ID was there a a recovery email that was linked to it ?
Do you still have access to that ? It might be where the email was sent.

I want to use one of my icloud email addresses as a new apple ID. It was an additional email contact address I originally set up for my child. But now, I'd like to set her up on Family Sharing, using that email as her ID. Obviously, when I try to use it when setting up a new apple ID, it says the email is already being used (Yes, by ME) and I need to select a different one. Can I somehow delete that email address in order to set up a new apple ID using it? Or is there another way to "re-use" that address for my child's new ID?

"Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
I noticed the following :
If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.

Leave her ID alone and create a new one for yourself with your email address.

HT201320 Can't Add Email address for FaceTime or Messaging????

Just bought replacement Ipod touch because battery died on old one, can't add email address for facetime and messaging because it says it is already in use. Don't have any information on old ipod...any suggestions? I was able to add the address for mail, but it won't let me add it for messaging or FaceTime.

Did you register your old ipod with apple? If so go here https://supportprofile.apple.com and delete it from your profile

This morning I changed my Apple ID to my new email address. I thought it meant that I could then use all my alias icloud email addresses with my new Apple ID because it would be the same account. Why am I now not getting email to those addresses.

This morning I changed my Apple ID to my new email address. I thought it meant that I could continue to use all my alias icloud email addresses with my new Apple ID because it would be the same account. Since then I have not received and new emails to my iCloud email addresses. Normally I get at least 7 new emails a day, so I'm pretty sure my iCloud addresses are not working. It would be a lot of work for me to notify a lot of people, companies, and organizations about new email addresses, so I really would like to make them work. Will it be possible to make them work with my new Apple ID?

Roger, I didn't know that "Delete Account" was synonymous with "log out". Yes, I had deleted my iCloud account in my iPad email settings more than once yesterday and again one more time after I read your reply. I then followed the instructions below to log off on my Windows PC. I found these when I searched for how to log off of iCould:
1- Go to www.iCloud.com
2- Sign in with your current login info
3- Click on your user name on top right corner
4- Select account setting
5- Select "Advanced."
6- Click 2nd option, "Sign Out Of All Browsers."
I also scanned settings for all the other apps on my iPad and changed a couple that still had my old sbcglobal email address. Later, I noticed that I was able to see my old previous iCloud emails in iCloud.com, and the couple of messages that I received from this Support Community site, but still no new emails. Suddenly the emails started rolling in again this morning. I have 7 new ones at the moment. I sort of expected to get a backlog of emails from yesterday, but something tells me those were all lost as "undeliverable". I don't know who or exactly what did the trick, but the issue seems to be fixed. I'm using my new Apple ID, and I'm glad I don't have to get all new iCloud alias email addresses after all.

I accidentally have 2 apple id's and i want to put the already verified email address on the other apple id. How do i do that?

It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. You should be able to log into the account and change its primary email address (to an address which is not currently on another account) : http://appleid.apple.com

Reuse an alias email address for a new icloud account?

In my family we are using an "Family" apply id as a shared family account along with my account and my wife's account. We were using the family account to share icloud content between my wife and I and our family iPad. Under the family apple ID I had also created two alias email address (lets call then child1.me.com and child2.me.com) which I had done a long time ago to "reserve" my preferred emails addresses for when the kids were ready to have one. Apple has changed things a bit since before IOS8 and I have begun to disentangle the family account as a shared iCloud between my wife and I and we are now running our own iClouds, though our iPad still runs using the family account.
My daughter is 11 and recently inherited an old iPhone. I had recently created her an apple ID by faking her age and using her gmail account (as Apple would not allow under 13yr olds to have an account). One thing I discovered is that she cannot access [email protected] account that is an alias of the family account so I started to dig into this deeper. Now that Apple has family sharing I thought I would delete the alias child1 and child2 accounts and set these up as proper apple IDs (as apple now allows this for kids under 13) with Family sharing.
I deleted my alias email addresses and tried to create the same as new icloud accounts (as apple does not allow the use of .me anymore) i.e. [email protected] and [email protected]. This is not working however. Apple is telling me that the accounts are already in use. My understanding is that .me and .icloud are interchangeable so my child1.me.com email alias should have prevented someone else from taking child1.icloud.com; correct? So it would seem that I am blocking my own icloud account creation even though I have now deleted those aliases.
Does anyone know when a deleted alias will become available for use as an icloud account? Also is there any better ways to achieve family email/icloud harmony as right now I am finding it a bit of a mess....
Thx.

Do I found that even though I deleted my aliases I was able to add them back in ti my family account even though Apple states that you can. I could not add them as .me accounts though, they had to be .icloud but I was able to maintain the child1 and child2 components. I ended up deleting them again and just setting up entirely new icloud accounts.

First thing I would try is clearing your browser's cache, and try again. If that does not work, try using a different browser. If neither works, let me know and I will see what I can find.

How do I change an email address for my daughters apple products?

Hi,
My daughter has an iPod, Mac Book Air & iPad and they are all under my email address that I've had for years. I have also have a MacBook Pro, but use a generic email address for it. I am upgrading my smart phone to an Apple iphone 5 and would like to use the email address my daughter has been using. After setting up her new email address, how do I change all of her accounts to the new email? She is afraid I will mess up her facetime, etc...
Thank you for your help!
Wendy

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

HT204053 I changed my Apple ID (email address) to a new Apple ID (email address), but my iPhone is asking for my password on my old email address which has been discontinued, now I can not get into iCloud or add Apps because the old email and password do

I recently changed my Apple ID (to my new email address), but my iPhones are still showing my old Apple ID and are asking for my old password. It no longer exists and now I can not add any Apps or get into iCloud because they previous ID no longer exists but that is what is popping up in Apple ID box and I cannot change it on the phone. How do I get my new Apple ID assigned to my phone(s)?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's iCloud that is asking for these details:
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.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
If it's iTunes asking for these details:
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Can I move my iCloud email address to a new Apple ID?

Hi,
My wife and I have just recently bought iPhones. I've had an iMac for years and an iPad for a couple of years now, so we now have the multiple users/devices issue, or conundrum if you like.
I had an iTunes account since I've had my iMac so all purchases are made on that, so we want to be able to share that account for that purpose. I never did setup another Apple ID for myself though, so I've actually been using email on that main account.
My wife now has her own Apple ID as she has her own contacts and calendars, etc, but we do share some info.
So, now I need a better way of doing this and I think I know what to do; setup my own Apple ID/iCloud so we both then have our own personal accounts and then use the main iTunes account for purchases.
However, I have some questions;
I'd like to keep the old email address. Can I transfer that over to my new, personal Apple ID and use it for my iCloud email? *really want to know about this*
Contacts and calendars; I guess they can be exported and imported into the new account, yes? I know calendars can be shared so if we need to we can do that, but how do you share a group of contacts? If we maintain, on the main account, a group of shared contacts that will work fine; we can both access them and edit them, but how do we add new contacts to that group from our iPhones? I believe you can't add a contact to a group on the iPhone? Is there a workaround for that?
Or is there a better way that I'm missing?
Thanking you in advance
Lee

Hi, thanks for your reply.
You can't transfer your iCloud email account to another ID. You could create a new iCloud account and still add your existing iCloud account as a secondary account on your phone (in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud) but the email on that account would be restricted to fetch. (Push email is only supported in the primary account). If you want to maintain your curent iCloud email account as push, you might want to keep the current iCloud account for yourself and just set up a new iCloud account for your wife.
I'm slightly confused. My current email address is currently tied to my main iTunes Apple ID. I was going to setup a new iCloud account (that's the same as an Apple ID isn't it?) and use that for my mail. I can't use my current one as a secondary cos photo stream won't then be available.

If I create a new Apple ID, will my mail automatically change to the new email address For the new id?

Also will the apps that I have not bought with my money from App Store but just downloaded, can I still upgrade them? And what about if I have some music and apps which were not brought from my iPhone 5c which I am currently using, but from my old iPhone 3GS from another Apple ID , will they be transferred again like they did before onto my 5c?
Thanks

I set up FaceTime and Messages on four different devices with only one Apple ID. I used the exact method that is described in the video that AnaMusic has provided to you in the link in her response above. That method worked fine for my family, but you can create new Apple ID's just to use for FaceTime and Messages if you like. Many users prefer doing that as opposed to adding new email addresses.
IMO - using unique email addresses (like in the video) makes sense, because we (my family) all have different email addresses anyway, and it was very simple to add each family members email address to both apps and remove my Apple ID email address as the contact address on each device.
BTW .... if you are using your Apple ID on both devices - your phone number should be the number that is showing in the settings - not you daughter's. Did you set up the Apps with your Apple ID?

MasterBinker, have you tried using the Forgot Password link in the sign in page for ePrintCenter? This should send a new password to the email address.
You may also want to try using a different web browser.
