  • IMessage/Facetime unable to verify email address.

    I recently updated to the new iOS 5 on my iPod Touch 4G, and when trying to sign in to either Facetime or iMessage it gives me this message for one of my apple IDs: "Unable to verify address. An email with a verification has been sent to the above email address." No email has been received so far.
    For my other Apple ID, it says "Unable to verify address because it is already in use". My two Apple IDs have their own email address, and I use both to shop on iTunes, so I have no idea what the problem is.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is gettint frustrating.

    I'm having the same problem.  I sign into iMessage on my iPad, then continue to verify that main email, but it fails.  I have checked on the site below to see that it has already been verified.  Same deal with FaceTime.  Tried rebooting iPad, same issue.
    TIP: you can use the site below to view your account and resend validation emails.  But for me, even the validated ones are not being accepted.  Maybe that server is down?

  • Unable to Verify Address for iMessage

    Trying to set up iMessage on my iPod Touch (iOS5).  I have a valid Apple ID, and it has been verified. I received the verification link via email on my computer, clicked it, and the Apple ID has in fact been verified.   I even received the "Welcome" email from iTunes letting me know how to dowload music, video etc..
    BUT when try to launch iMessage on my iPod Touch, I get the message, "Unable to verify address.  An email with a verification link has been sent to the above email address" However, no such email has been sent.  I logged back into my Apple ID and checked my account, and everything's been verified.
    Help!

  • FaceTime is Unable to verify address

    In trying to sign into FaceTime using my Apple ID with the corresponding password, I get the "unable to verify email" message.  When I try to use my Apple ID with an arbitrary password, I get an "Incorrect Apple ID or password" error message.  Could it be Airport Extreme or Virus Barrier v6?  I get no message in my junk email.  I've read issues with iPods and iPads but I haven't come across any discussions with FaceTime on iMacs with OSX Lion.
    Any links?
    Additional:  Could it be due to having several ampersands in the password?

  • Newly built home.  Unable to verify address.  Apple not responding.  What can I do?

    I recently moved into a brand new home on a new street.  I am currently unable to purchase anything on the itunes store because my address cannot be verified.  I've submitted the form to Apple, however I have received no response other than the auto-generated email.  Someone please help!  I am not able to use the post office website to verify the address either although I do receive mail at the new home.  Is there any way for me to speak with someone at Apple?

  • ITunes unable to verify address for sales tax - "Please try again later"

    Just bought a new iPod Classic, and when I first connected to my MacBook, I got all the way through registering the iPod when I came to a screen for address verification. The county I live in was able to be pulled up in the drop down menu, but when I hit done, it loads for a bit then gives me an error message that says "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later."
    Since I can't sync my iPod until I am done with this screen, I am stuck. Has this happened to anyone else and is there any fix besides waiting for the error to be fixed?

    Hello e-b p,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    When encountering iTunes Store connectivity issues, the following resources provide the best solutions. To isolate the issue further, I'd be curious to know if it persists on other Wi-Fi networks (assuming you are using a portable computer). Either way, please attempt the steps outlined in these articles:

  • Unable to verify iMessage address?

    Okay, so I was on my iPod earlier and realized I couldn't send iMessages. It was working perfectly fine yesterday, but today it didn't work. I've had it for a couple months now, and its 4th gen ios 5.0.1. Heres how it happened:
    I was trying to send an iMessage, and it wouldn't deliver. Yes my wifi was on, i turned it off then on again, then turned off iMessage and signed out and powered off/on, but then when I tried to sign back in after it wouldn't let me. It would try verifying but in the end it would just say "Unable to verify address. An email with a verification link has been sent to the above email address."
    I checked my email. Nothing. What happened, and can I fix it? I also tried a different email (knowing it was invalid) then tried putting in my actual one and yet, it wouldn't verify? Take in note, that it worked for months up till yesterday so YES, my Apple ID is verified. Help!
    Please don't tell me to check the 'More Like This' because I can't find a solution for me in there.

    You need to select the "Manage My Account" link and not the "Reset Your Password" link.  Once you use the "Manage My Account" it will ask you to log in and in there you should see which email addresses are verified.

    Thanks Rob.
    That was helpful.
    My question is: how do I register FaceTime with my primary email address, as it continues to fail registration.
    Having been informed your "primary email address... continues to fail registration", I don't know any way you will be able to use it to "register FaceTime."
    Try a different email address. If need be, create a separate iD that you will use only to activate FaceTime.
    Maybe the answer is: check primary address is verified in my Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    You may be right.
    That shows my primary address is used in verification of another account. But I am sure all my apple id's are not verified until today.
    So my next question is: how can my primary address have been verified for another account? How do I found that account.
    I do not know the answer to that question, and I don't think the answer would help you.
    Even if you knew how it was verified, you would still not be able to use it for FaceTime activation or your caller iD because the database has recorded it as already having been used for a different account.
    Unless you get a better suggestion, use a different email address with FaceTime.

  • Unable to Verify Email Address

    Hello,
    I recently bought my daughter an ipod touch and set it all up and it was working fine with her email address. Unfortunately, we had to exchange it as it developed a fault. I am now in the process of trying to setup facetime and IM but when I enter her email address it says 'unable to verify email because it is already in use'. I have tried to troubleshoot this through the communities on here but the only information I can get relates to having more than one apple id which I don't. My daughter is too young to have her own so we use mine. I never had this issue when I had to reset my ipod.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi IIIaass,
    Yes, I have tried this but I only have one apple id so this doesn't aply to me. I checked my account details and this email wasn't veerified. I clicked on the 'verify now' action but nothing happened. I did chec the 2 emails linked to this id and the spam folders but there was no verification email in any of them. I also tried deleting the email from my account and re-adding it but this didn't work either. I'm stumped!

  • 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,
    Matt M.
