You are welcome...it is always good to ask about things like this...this phishing one has been taking many forms, verify, change info, all kinds of things you are asked to provide.

  • 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

    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)

    "To help protect your privacy, we'll sometimes ask you to verify your email address even though you're already signed in. Verify your email This link will expire 24 hours. Sincerely,   The iCloud Team" Is it legit?
    It asked for my name, email address, pasword and apple I.D.
    Why?

    It's spam.

  • It keeps asking me to verify my email address and says a verification link has been sent to my email, but no link is in my email! Please help!

    I just bought a new apple computer and trying to set everything up, but it wants me to verify my email, but I cannot find the link it says it sent to my email.  How can I verify my email address for iCloud and iTunes, FaceTime, everything>>>Im so confused please help, thx:)

    Hi Jangelique34, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot verify your Apple ID. If you are not receiving the email to verify your Apple ID please refer to the attached article for information on how to resolve this situation. 
    If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
    Cheers,

  • Did Apple/iTunes send out email about store credit?

    I got a strange email last night purporting to be from the iTunes store asking if I knew that I had store credit with the iTunes store, and containing a link for me to sign in and find out about my credit.  It looked like phishing email, but could not find any contact email address on the Apple website to which I could forward it.  Please advise if it is legit or (if not) what the proper Apple email address is so I can report it.  Thanks.

    I got it too.  It included the following:
    "Dear iTunes Customer,
    Did you know that you have Store credit in your iTunes Store account with the account name: XYZXYZ? Your Store credit is good toward any song or album, TV show or season, movie, book, audiobook, or application download. To check your balance, please sign in by clicking the account link in the upper-right corner of the iTunes Store."
    It is apparently not phishing, since it sent you to the Store, not to its own link.  But feel free to ignore it.

  • I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. My aol account sends out my full name instead of using the email address. How can I correct this?

    I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. When I send mail from my aol account it sends my full name and not the email address acount. How can I change so my name does not appear and my user name appears?

    iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID.  So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account.  Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

  • Apple asks me to verify my email address but when I do, I never receive a verification email

    Im trying to use my current Apple ID to set up my iCloud account on my iPad2, iPhone4 and both mac computers.  On the ipad, i go to settings>iCloud and enter my apple id and password.  It gives me a message telling me to verify my account.  So I log into my apple ID settings and click verify account, and I dont get a verification email..... any advice??

    Not sure who you isp is, but some have reported that the verification e mails are getting sidetracked into a spam filter.  Check there.

  • Querying so-called email from 'Apple' asking me to "verify the email address accociated (sic) with your Apple ID."

    I'm guessing this is a fraud?

    Yes, it's a phishing attempt to get your id and password - you could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]

  • ITunes repeatedly asks me to verify my email address

    I changed my iTunes email over to my gmail account from a hotmail, and iTunes sent the verification email. I clicked the link, verified it, no problem.
    I went to log into the iTunes store, and it says I have not verified my account. When I click OK to see how to verify it, it tells me that I have already done so. It's been looping like this for a week or so. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I've got $20 from a gift card on there and I don't want to loose it.
    Any ideas?
    Message was edited by: Mi7ch

    after three emails to the express lane (another ridiculous name just like "genius" for the sad droids at the stores), only one of which garnered a response (an incorrect one, too), i rang the apple support line & got a really helpful support droid who contacted the folks responsible for the database & got them to fix my account while i waited. that solved my problem.
    you'll probably have to do the same. good luck.

  • Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?

    Did Apple increase the Out of Warranty Replacement cost for iPhone 5 from $229 to $269?
    I would have expected this cost to decrease not increase with the announcement of the new iPhones yesterday.

    I think they must have increased it recently because I was told $269 to replace my iPhone 5 on 9/13/13.  I don't know how iPhone 5 replacements are going to work out now that they won't be carrying them anymore.

  • I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please

    I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please?

    It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
    How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
    If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
    It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.

  • Verified new email address on Apple ID, but keep getting asked for password for old address

    Months ago, I changed my Apple ID to reflect my new email address.  I received and verified the new address and deleted the old one from my Apple ID account page.  When I log in, there is no mention of my old address, and my new email address is recorded as the primary one.  However whenever I am asked for my Apple ID when I try to change or buy anything, the email address that comes up is my old one.  Needless to say no password I enter works, so there are many things that I'm currently unable to do.  This is driving me nuts.  Any ideas, please?

    Did you change the email address used in your existing Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID with the new email address?
    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

    Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.
