Facetime verification email

I am trying to add another email address to Facetime on my iPad 2. However, I am not receiving the verificatin email. I've checked all folders, including spam. I've had it resent several times. I've waited over an hour on them to arrive. I've turned Facetime off and back on again. I've gone into settings and reset all settings.

Can someone please tell me the email address that Apple uses to send their Facetime verification email? I'm using a whitelist filter and I need to add it so that I can receive the email. Thanks.

Facetime verification email not arrivinh

I am sitting here trying to get Facetime going for my Mother so she can video chat with her grandchildren. Thusfar all has gone well enough - installed Facetime, got her Apple ID setup, and entered in to Facetime. However, we appear to be stuck at the point where the verification link email is sent - it is not arriving at her email account. I have verified that her email (non-Apple) is functiononing by sending her one myself, and the emails around resetting her Apple ID password arrived, so I am at something of a loss to explain why the facetime verification link isn't arriving.

FWIW, I'm posting with my ID, not her's so it is my mac info being displayed, not her's (a 10.6 system)

Facetime verification email error

Hi, first of all I'd like to say sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums, just couldnt find a suitable section for my problem.
Basically I installed facetime, apple sends me the verification email which reads as below...
To complete the process, we just need to verify that this email address belongs to you. Simply click the link below and sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Verify Now >
Now, when I click "verify now" the link says "about:blank" in the address bar while apparently loading, after a minute the site says
"THIS WEBPAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE"
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Error 7 (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it! I've used chrome, safari and firefox just to make sure it's nothing to do with my browser but still no luck.
Thanks alot!

Facetime verification email not being sent.

Hey,
I got a new Ipod touch 5g for last Christmas and Facetime worked fine, Then I updated to iOS 5.1. Later I tried to login so, I tapped Sign In. It took me to the screen where you click next and then it says verifying... After that it doesn't tell me anything, and it just takes me back to the sign In screen.

the people on youtube probably dont know the next iPod Touch could be called iPod Touch 4S. and i feel sorry for the people that watch there videos saying the iPod Touch 5G and believe it when they see it, u probably wont even tell a different just showing the front could mean its the iPod Touch 1G, 2G, 3G
Anyhow, it should look like this
If you dont see this on your iPod Touch 4, then u need to sign into your account.
and what Apple did, all they did was made the iPod Touch 4 beable to be white, thats all what had change, just the color from black to white.

I had to restore my iPad to factory settings and now I can't reconnect my icloud email to FaceTime or iMessages as the verification email never comes through what should I do

Yesterday I had to make a trip to the local Apple store as my iPad needed to be restored to factory settings. I came home trying to set up my iMessages and FaceTime but I can't reconnect it with my icloud email as I send a verification email each time and it never arrives. What should I do?

Yes, I am using the same ID on both devices. I also logged out of the iTunes application and back in but still get this same message. "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Plese try again."
I have another subscription with Admin Magazine that appears to use the same interface and it was able to restore my purchases.

TS4268 Verification email not received to activate FaceTime from additional gmail accounts on ipad. I have checked the spam folders and tried sending the activation email from my Mac as well but I'm still not getting them.

I'm not receiving the verification email to activate two additional gmail addresses for Facetime on my ipad air. I have been trying for over a week and the emails are not in my spam or junk folders. I have also logged into my Apple id from my Mac and tried to verify from there but I'm still not receiving the verification emails. Anyone know how to resolve this please?

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Experiencing this same exact problem. It's not in my spam folder or anything.

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email. It has said "Verifyng" since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I checked my iCloud settings for that email address and it shows "pending".

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome. I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending". When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".

Hi legendary80,
I have a couple of links for you regarding FaceTime and Messages that may help you resolve this issue:

How do I enable iMessage for use with Messages?
You can enable iMessage in multiple ways, depending on your device:
iPhone: Turn Messages on in Settings > Messages. Messages will begin registration with your carrier-assigned cellular telephone number. Sign in with your Apple ID to also use your e-mail with Messages.
iPad and iPod touch: Navigate to Settings > Messages. Sign in with your Apple ID.
Follow these steps if you are experiencing difficulty activating your telephone number or Apple ID with iMessage.

I used my military (.mil) address as the backup for my appleID account, but now that I need to open the verification email from apple, the .mil doesnt allow me to open and verify that I am who I am?

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.

Not getting email verification email for iMessage

I have tried repeatably to add my kids emails so they can iMessage on their devices but I never receive the verification emails. Their emails are on AOL. It's not going to spam because I have checked that. Any other suggestions?

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account to facetime and iMessage. Is there something else I can do?

Hi,
I don't ever remember getting an email when Adding an account.
Apple seems to verify it some other way (a self test to see if it is valid ? an actual email ?)
I tried adding an older @mac.com account that is not a valid email (gained when MobileMe was the Apple service and the @Mac.com registration was used for iChat names).
I then tried to add a Yahoo one.
This got past the first part and said an email has been sent.
As you say this has never arrived.
( checked the web Site for Yahoo Mail as well as my Mail App.)
In each case I also checked the Spam and Junk folders in both places.
I then tried an iCloud ID.
(FaceTime seems to treat the Original Apple ID and the iCloud issued email as separate IDs)
I did not get and email (Although it said it was sent) I did get a Pop up for the FaceTime app asking if I wanted to add an email and a second for the actual email itself. (It turned out it added an @me.com email also issued by iCloud before the @icloud.com was issued.
This is much the way iMessages adds emails when you add the emails to an iPhone, the Mac version gets pop ups.
I recently had something similar in Messages that might be related.
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) it seemed it could be any Apple ID that was used.
In Messages 8 it seems this has to be an iCloud linked one.
The @mac.com one I used above could not be added to iMessages either when I tried it about two months ago.
It might be one I have removed the creating/Recovery email so that i could create another Apple ID.
The name continues to work in Messages as an AIM valid screen name but I could not add it as the iMessages account and got sent to iCloud to "register" it but ran into problems that I have not sorted out yet.
EDIT.
Checked the Apple ID site and the @mac.com email I used has no linked Alternative/recovery email.
