Help! when i try to log in, I get a window saying it cannot save my email address and has to reset the keychain

first I get a window saying "a keychain cannot be found to store "my email" address
I get a choice between "cancel" or "reset to default"
If I click on "reset to default" the next message is this:
Are you sur eyou want to reset your keychain?  It will delete all saved passwords, keys certificates and you cannot undo this step." 
Help!  I've had a .mac address for years and now, in the switch to icloud, it seems to be trying to set up an account for me.
I have no idea what to do and need to access email for work. 

Hi coplaw,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iCloud. If you are having issues verifying your email for iCloud, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
I can't sign in to iCloud on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
If you can't sign in due to the alert “Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account”:
Close and reopen iCloud preferences before attempting to sign in to iCloud again.
If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button in iCloud preferences.
iCloud: Account troubleshooting - Apple Support
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
Regards,
- Brenden

  • I recently installed Lion on my MacBook Pro (2010). Since then, almost every time I put my mac to sleep it doesn't respond when I try to wake it up. I must say that everything seems to be working, and I recently reset the PRAM and the NVRAM.

    This is the report I get after:

    when I try to update Firefox I get a window saying it can't be loaded because I do not have all the necessary permissions. What does this mean and what do I do?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • HT1338 i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created.

    i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.

    You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
    Hope that helps.

  • When I try to start Firefox, I get a message saying that Firefox is already running and cannot be re-started, so close down and reboot.

    Following an upgrade of my OS from XP to Vista, I tried to point the new installation at my old profile. Now when I try to start FF, I get a message saying that it is already running and I should reboot to clear the problem. I've done that but the problem remains. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled v4 beta. The problem remains. Any ideas?

    OK, I had moved the profile file inside the profile folder which was created when I installed FF, to the main FF folder. I then took the equivalent file which existed under XP before my upgrade to vista, and moved it into the new Profile folder. That's when I hit the problem described in the initial question.
    So, what I did following Tony's response was to move the bookmarks password and cookies files into the profile created on the install. I then moved that file into the profile folder and moved the one I'd saved from XP, out to the main FF folder.
    Started FF and voila! All working fine. Thanks for your help.

  • When i try to back up my iphone 4 it says i cannot back it up with the error code -50

    when i try to back up my iphone 4 it says i cannot back it up with the error code -50? HELP

    If you are running Windows and it stops on the first stage of a sync then my suggestion is to uninstall AppleDeviceSupport version 2.0.1 and re-install 1.5.2.
    There are instruction here to do it on Windows 7 (see the first post):
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3280228?tstart=0
    Those instructions are to fix a different problem, but it fixes the problem with syncing devices stopping on the first stage (backing up the device) too. The AppleDeviceSupport 2.0.1 comes with Quicktime 7.7 and, I believe, the latest Safari version.
    I'm running XP, so used the Everything search program (http://www.voidtools.com/download.php) to find the directories with the AppleDeviceSupport installers (they have the extension .msi and the version in the directory name) and right-mouse-buttoned them to do the uninstall and install. Note you need a reboot afterwards. (Actually I just sorted out the service in the Service Manager, but that's a longer explaination and a reboot works fine).
    Hope that helps,
    John

  • Discontinued my creative cloud membership, and installed Acrobat XI, but when I try to open it, I get a message saying I must renew creative cloud. This is a self standing program. What do I do?

    Discontinued my creative cloud membership, uninstalled Acrobat XI, and installed a brand new, purchased version Acrobat XI, but when I try to open it, I get a message saying I must renew creative cloud. This is a free standing program, and it IS installed. What do I do?

    You may need to uninstall the Cloud (not just stop using it) and then run the Cleaner to remove all vestiges... and then reinstall Acrobat

  • Firefox crashes then when I try to reopen it I get a message saying it is already open and must be closed. It is not open and I cannot close it and have to reboot. It is very annoying as it happens often.

    Firefox will close unexpectedly then when I try to open it I get a message saying it is already open and I must close it first. I cannot find it open anywhere and then I must reboot to open Firefox again.

  • I want to copy email from my mac to my pc. Forwarding one at a time via email works well, but when I try to forward several of them at a time I receive one large email. I want to receive the emails individually on my pc. Any suggestions?

    Don't know any 'automatic' way - but, i have "Fetch Headers only" set on each of my 'secondary accounts'.
    With varying internet service, manual "Get Messages" is probably the "Best Practice" because you will know how good your service is before you even try.
    maybe set "Check for new messages every 'n' minutes" to different times
    (3 minutes, 6 minutes, etc.) on each 'secondary' account.
