How do i activate my Apple ID when I can't receive the emails??

I have tried a number of times to access my Apple ID, but I cannot receive the emails!! I get all other emails from Apple, but the one to activate my id is no where. I have checked my junk folders and trash, but it's nowhere.
Is there a way to do it without using the verification email?? Or do I have to try to do it through apple tech support on the phone??
Any help would be amazing!!
Cheers!!!

The verification emails have been reported to be delayed by a number of users for some time now...not unusual to see a week or two delay.
Simple test: login and see if your appleid and password are accepted.  If so, you are in the system.

  • How do you remove an apple id when you can not contact the previous user?

    I am working with a local Pawn shop that purchased an ipad from an indavidual. They restored the ipad and apparently, the contact info from the user is bogus. So, is there any way to get the apple id removed when you can not contact the previous owner? I have the serial number and any other info that may be needed.

    No, there is no way to remove the previous user ID. If the previous owners information was bogus the iPad is likely stolen.

  • I recently updated iTunes to the lastest version; however, when I went to purchase a song, it told me I needed to verify my apple ID, however I have not received the email, and cannot purchase anything now, any help?

    I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version; however, when I go to purchase songs now, it says I need to verify my apple ID.  It tells me to click OK to follow the instructions on how to do so.  When I click OK, it says an email has been sent to my email address associated with my iTunes account that will hold a link that will aid in the creating of my apple ID, but I already have one, and just need to update it.  And to add to this, I have not yet received the email, and it has been a few days now... any help?

    Never mind, the email was finally sent....

  • How to reset my apple id password if i never received the email from system?

    i forget my apple id password and tried to reset it by email, but i never received the email from the system, how can i do??

    If you haven't received the email, and you've checked the spam folder on the account (if you have a rescue email address on your iTunes account then you've checked that email account as well ?) and tried requesting the email again, then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • Apple survey says that I called apple feedback when I didn't. The email asks me to fill a survey... Should I be preoccupied that this misunderstanding happens? And how should I report it?

    So what should I do?

    They are still using this domain alias for surveys, I received a request today. So I thought I'd update this discussion in case anyone else is unsure. If you ping the domain alias "csat.apple.com" it comes back with the follwoing:
    Domain Name: APPLE.COM

    Therefore I think you can be extremely confident that it is legit request and url. Just always always make sure that the link you are going to click on is what it looks like. In mac mail right click on the link and select "Copy Link", then paste it into text edit to check what it actually is. Do not visit the url if it is not what it appears to be in the email. If uncertain use a ping tool like network-tools.com (which is where I got the info above from).
    Safe surfing!

    How can I change my security question answers if I can't remember the answers? It keeps asking me to answer them but I don't remember and it won't let me buy anything on my new device?

    account security
    Please call apple @ 1-800-692-7753 in USA
    ask for the account security team
    you may want to add a credit card to your iTunes account  before calling; so they will have a way to verify your identity.

  • How do you close an information window when you can't see the close button?

    One of my Macs is a trusty old G3 iMac and since version 8 I've had a problem with the information window you get for podcasts when you click on the 'i' button. The window goes to the full screen height, in fact it goes beyond because you can't see the top and button. Therefore I can't close it with the mouse or move it.
    I also can't find a keyboard shortcut that will close this window, so I have to exit iTunes and re-start, which on this machine is a slow process.
    Anyone help welcome - is there a keyboard shortcut?

    If, on the other hand, you're talking about the Info window you get when you click on the little "i" next to the description, that can be closed using the standard Mac keyboard short cut of Command-W.
    Thud...thud...thud...
    ...that's the sound of me hitting my head on the keyboard. I never knew about Command-W because, you know, it's only a menu option IN ALL THE APPLICATIONS I JUST LOOKED AT!
    Oh well...you learn something every day...and I would like to point out that if you use OSX Leopard's help system and search for "keyboard shortcuts", Command-W isn't mentioned.
    Thanks again!

  • How to stop iTunes creating a new library on my hard drive when it can't find the one I have created and told it to use on an external drive?

    I have quite alot of music etc so to save hard drive space I have created my iTunes library on an external hard drive. If I ever accidentaly open iTunes when that external hard drive isn't attached iTunes makes a whole new library from scratch on my computers hard drive. I find this highly frustrating as I often open Itunes to find no music as it have changed librarys and I have to re-load my actual library: very frustraiting and time consuming.
    I would like to know if it is possible to lock iTunes some how to stop it from changing folders when it can'f find the library, or atleast give me a warning that it can't find the library before creating a whole new one????

    Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks.  When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file.  If something breaks this link then you get !  The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether.  I don't know which has happened in your case.  You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link.  If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back.  If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.

    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 is sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address is verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    Verify your changes by following the link in the email you receive from Apple, then signing back in to your account.

  • How to format new hard drive for Apple TV when you can't use old HD

    I need to know how to format a new HD to install in my Apple TV where I can't use the old HD to clone or otherwise create the new structure on the new HD.
    I have an Apple TV that was syncing to a Mac Mini that had a defective HD and logic board. I was unable to backup the Apple TV to the Mac Mini for some time before I had the mini repaired by AppleCare.
    When the mini came back, it registered on the Apple TV as a new computer and I couldn't sync with it without losing hundreds of dollars of content.
    All was okay until the other night when Apple's defective update for the ATV erased ALL my content. I updated it to 3.1 this morning, which Apple indicated might fix the problem. It didn't. The old content is all gone.
    My ATV is out of warranty, so I removed the old HD and copied the files from the "Purchased" folder to my mini. That saved most 101 items that I purchased since 12/08 (but not all for some reason). I lost all content prior to 12/08 that I purchased, as well as some content since 12/08 that I purchased.
    I need to keep the old HD untouched until I can purchase data recovery software. I'd like to just put a spare IDE HD in that I have into the ATV and just start over with what is in my Mac mini iTunes.
    So, how does one do that? I'm not gifted with vast Unix knowledge or experience and I don't want to clone the old HD and risk losing more data if it writes to the HD for some reason.
    Thanks.

    Hi Atagahi,
    Firstly, have you emailed Apple iTunes support indicating your issue? There have been instances in which Apple will allow re-downloading of all content you've purchased on the iTunes store.
    Secondly, I highly recommend you get an external usb hard drive, attach it to your mini and use it as a Time Machine drive to keep your iTunes purchases safe. It's a fact of life that all hard disk drives will eventually fail. The Apple TV should never be used as any kind of permanent storage space; think of it as a 'temporary holding' zone. And as you've unfortunately already experienced, a glitch wiped out all content on the Apple TV.
    As regards your original question, it seems like there have been folks who've done just that...taken the internal drive in the Apple TV out and attached it to a mac and copied files from the Apple TV hard drive. I have not had to do such, so I cannot offer any help here except for Linda's suggestion on googling the net for solutions.
    Good luck and hope you get all your purchased content back Atagahi!

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.
