Hi kelli in OP,
For information on verifying your primary email address, see this article:
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
Cheers!

Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
Appleid.apple.com
I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
It was verified previously so I was done.
I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
It worked.
It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

TS3988 Verify email for iCloud

I'm trying to set up my iCloud account on my iPad 2. It says I will receive an email to verify the account, but I'm not receiving the email.
Help?

I finally got mine resolved an hour ago after many attempts.
Try this:
1. Settings
2. iTunes and App stores
3. Tap on "Apple IDxxxx"
4. Sign out
5. Sign in again with your Apple ID and password ( or change to new ID at the option " change to new ID"
6. Go to iCloud . It should now send email verification to your Apple ID email address.
Good luck.

Verifying email for iCloud

Hello....................
I recently updated my 3gs to the new ios5 version with iCloud........ everything is find but my phone is telling me to verify the email that was sent to my apple email account...
Now I totally understand what it is telling me to do (go to my apple email and verify the email that was sent to me to activate iCloud) the problem is I do not know where to go to open my apple email,I tried doing this via itunes and even though i get in there is no sign of an inbox,I also tried the apple homepage but with no luck...
So what do I have to do...can someone please help me with this and maybe give me step by step instructions of what to do.....
Cheers.....Look forward to replies.........

I Have had the same problem, we finally succeeded by going through FaceTime.

TS4002 I cant send email via icloud account. I have a BT router for vision. Can anyone help please

I cant send email via icloud account. I have a BT router for vision

Thanks for the suggestion - it turned out that it was actually my workplace's network that automatically blocks external SMTP servers (for some security reason), so the email(s) sent perfectly once I went home and connected to May home network. Annoying!

I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation. It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address. It says its in use.

Hi Guys
I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine. To understand my issue let me explain how it started. My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected] when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account. This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated. [email protected] is the correct email address and works. A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud. this did not send the mail. I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected] it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active. However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID.
I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Lost verification email for iCloud.

I Have accidently deleted verification email for icloud.
is there an easy way to obtain new email to re- verify?

Howdy Mark,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it answers your question about what to do if you don’t have the verification email.

Take care,

Haven't received verification email for iCloud

My email for iCloud still says verifying. But I haven't received an email yet either.

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email. More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5404.

For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
Hope this helped a bit, Sean

Cannot receive verification email for iCloud

I cannot get the verification email for icloud. does anyone have any ideas apple dont appear to.....

The email should be sent to the primary email address you used when setting up the Apple ID you are using to set up your iCloud account. If you aren't sure what email address that is check on My Apple ID. Be sure to check both your inbox and your spam/junk folder. If it isn't there go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
If you have attempted to resend the verification email multiple times and it still hasn't arrived, try contacting iTunes store support here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. They deal with Apple ID issues all the time and can probably help you with this.
You can check to see if you have a different ID by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, but the verification email should be sent to the email address associated with the ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.

It's pretty frustrating! because I have no idea how to fix it. And I had a lot of new music I added on there.

Verfication email for icloud

I have resent the verification email for icloud account multiple times but it never arrives. Very frustrating. Has anyone got any ideas?

Be sure you are checking the email account that you used when setting up your iCloud ID. Be sure to check both the inbox and your spam/junk folder.
If it isn't there, and you've already tried resending it, all you can do is wait it out.

I've asked a moderator to remove your code information. Unfortunately, you included it in the title of the thread as well so it will stand out quickly to any just browsing the forums. You may find that when you try to use it, someone else may have already used it to activate their own. If that happens, make sure you let Apple know about your posting here.

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

Cannot reset my Email for iCloud acct on iPhone

I get a message to reset or edit my settings in iCloud but when I go to account the email is gray. I do have a new email for AppleID and Ipad is ok also. Only iPhone is problem.
Under restrictions I have allow changes checked.

Hello,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you have recently changed your email address associated with Apple ID, and are now experiencing issues with iCloud. It sounds like the new address has not yet been verified. Let’s check, and if not verified, go ahead and do so:
