Cannot sign in to verify my email address(new user)

I recently bought a ipad mini retina16gb Wf Sg.  As asked I looked for my verification email from Apple on my desktop having given my current email address.  I received the email from my ipad and clicked on "Verify Now" link & signed in with my Apple ID and password.  I then received another email with the message "Your request could not be completed.  Invalid account for the email address."
Where am I going wrong?

  • 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
    <Email Edited By Host>

    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)

  • When I try to use FaceTime on my Macbook Air, I try to verify the email I want people to call me with, and it says verified, but soon an message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."

    So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
    So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
    *Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that.

    I am unable to change or delete my iCloud ID, it is prompting sign in using an old email address that used to be my Apple ID, others have had this same problem but the answer seems to be to delete the iCloud account but I can't do that, because when I select delete account it prompts me to sign in on the old email address which doesn't exist anymore!! Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Can I change my verified primary email address associated with my apple id? I don't want to change my apple id as I have music/apps associated with it.  My current email will be changing soon.

    Can I change my verified primary email address that is currently associated with my apple id?  I don't want to change my apple id because I have music and apps assoicated with it.  I tired following some of the posts that shows going to an apple dialog that allows you to update your apple id and primary email separately, but when I try doing it I get a dialog that says I can update my apple id and my primary email.  I don't want to change my apple id only my primary email.  Anyone have any suggestions?  That email is going away soon.  Thanks for any help.

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

  • Facetime is not "verifying" my email address

    On my macbook pro (newest version of Mavericks) trying to open facetime.  I sign in and then facetime shows my email address asking if that is the one I'd like to use to send calls.  I click the check mark so that the email address I want is selected and then click next.  A little pinwheel appears at the top of the window next to the word "verifying".  It's been "verifying" my email address for over a half hour now with no progress that I can detect.  I've used facetime in the past week and was not asked to verify my email, so I don't understand what the problem is.  I'd rather not have to pay to reinstall a program I already have, either. 
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hey nimbus,
    Thanks for the question. Were you sent a verification email? If so, you’ll want to follow the instructions in that email:
    FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4185
    If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
    Sign in to FaceTime for Mac using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with FaceTime, other FaceTime users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:
    - Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
    - Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
    - Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.
       - If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
    - Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
    - If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
    Thanks,

  • FaceTime won't verify my email address

    FaceTime won't verify my email address can anyone help????

    HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME: I signed out of Facetime on my mac and then I could sign in on my ipad. Suddenly after 50 attempts, my ipad verified instantly (it didn't even send an e-mail, it just verified instantly). I guess being signed in on my mac caused some kind of conflict on Apple's servers. Now for the funny part: I was immediately able to sign-in again on my mac and now both my pad and mac have working FaceTime. You just can't be signed in on your mac when you are trying to setup FaceTime for the first time on the iPad. I guess.

  • Why can't FaceTime verify my email address on my Mac but it works fine on my iPhone?

    I can receive and make facetime calls on my iphone but it won't work on my Macbook Pro. It used to work fine and I haven't changed my email address or password. It has now automatically logged my out and won't verify my email address to log me back in. Does anyone know how I can fix it?

    chloel18,
    I have been troubleshooting this issue myself for over 3 weeks now.  I have looked through 20+ forums searching for answers.  I know your pain. Here's what you need to do:
    You need to call Apple.  The problem is NOT on your end!  I spoke with an Apple representative and they said that it is a "registration issue" and that THEY need to reset security settings.  I waited 14 minutes but the representative found the issue then reset it and I was able to sign in.
    Call 1-800-275-2273 (It's free in the US or on Skype if you're in Europe!)  When you call, you'll get the standard automated secretary.  DO NOT SAY ANYTHING.  If you say anything, you will be told that you either need to purchase a protection plan for $19.99 or literally "end the call".  Just stay on the line until you're asked if you wish to speak with a representative.  Do that and you'll be connected (for free).  They will ask for you Macbook Pro serial number and a "Customer Code" if you have one.  Tell them how long that you've had this issue and they'll confirm your Apple ID.
    Once they confirm your Apple ID, they reset everything on their end and you should be set.  Make sure that you are able to send messages/make calls before hanging up.
