Cannot access icloud, cannot verify account

With my current apple activie and able to log in to itunes and other apple website, I cannot access icloud with error message "check your email xxx for instructions on how to verify your account.  But checking email, no email was sent.

Hey Edgew7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Cannot access iCloud because I don't have the primary email and password I originally set it up with. Is there any way to remove this primary username and password without either the email address and the password?

    How do I delete an old iCloud username and password. I have neither of them anymore and cannot access icloud to change settings. Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • HT204053 I just changed my AppleI D and password and now I cannot access icloud on my phone or ipad.

    Due to unexplained charges to my itunes account I just changed the email address and password associated with the account.  Now I cannot access icloud on my iphone 4s or on my ipad. Help!?

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • I cannot access my Wells Fargo account on line with either my iMac or iPad. Verizon blames Verizon and Verizon blames Wells Fargo.  I can however access my WF account on my iPhone.  What can the problem be?

    I cannot access my Wells Fargo account on my iMac or iPad but I can log on on my iPhone.  Wells Fargo and Verizon both tell me it's not them it's the other

        We are sorry to have lost you as a valued customer ndl9! I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are having with trying to pay your final bill. Our best recommendation is the pay my bill link, which should allow you access based on your former phone number or account number. Did you try both? As an additional option, you can reach our automated system from an alternate line by dialing 800-922-0204 and then entering your former wireless number. http://vz.to/1fdEQVi

  • Cannot access iCloud on my iPad

    i cannot access icloud on my ipad 3

    I do not understand why that is the case.  The iPad has been touted as a stand alone device.  However, for these instances it is still tethered to a computer.  If I only had an iPad/iPhone and I want to share a calendar with my wife to her iPad/iPhone, I would still have to have a PC to access iCloud.com in order to share the calendar between multiple users.  There is no way to set up the share on the mobile devices.  That does not make sense to me.

    I cannot access my online banking account. After talking to the bank and internet provider it was suggested it may be a lion issue (we just upgraded). Can anyone help with this problem?

  • I updated by iPhone4 to IOS5 and added iCloud, now I cannot access my g-mail account?  How do I get access back?  Same thing happened to my iPad.

    I upgraded by iPhone 4 to IOS 5 and added iCloud.  Now I cannot access my Gmail account.  It was there before the upgrade, now it's gone.  I have tried to re-add the account, but it does not work.  The same thing has happened to my iPad2.  I have lost the access to Gmail.  How do I re-establish contact?

    Are they in your iTunes library on the computer? If so, sync with iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select your iPad from the left side under "Devices". Click on the apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select the Sync Apps heading. Select all of the apps in the list and then click on Sync or Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    You can also download the apps again for free in the app store via the purchased tab or download them again in iTunes on your computer and then sync the a[[s to the iPad. You have to use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with in order to download them again for free.
