HT1688 new to icloud....how do I "verify my account"  when I cannot receive Icloud messages until the account is verified?

I am new to icloud....Most everything I attempt to set up tells me that I need to verify my account and sends an email to my new icloud email account that I cant get into until I verify it and i cant figure out how to verify....any suggestions??

Hello shellyddddd,
The following information should be helpful for getting your account verified.
I cannot sign in to the iCloud Preferences pane on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
If you cannot sign in due to an alert stating "Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account":
Close and reopen the iCloud Preferences pane before logging in 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 on the iCloud Preferences pane.

  • When attempting to activate my FaceTime account I received a message that the account could not be activated because aol was already in use.  How can I resolve this issue

    When attemting to activate a FaceTime account on my iPad I received a message that I could not activate the account because aol was in use.  Hoe should I proceed?

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked/modified/jailbroken to work
    with other than the original carrier and the update to iOS5 has
    relocked your iPhone to the original carrier.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
    Have you tried removing the current SIM, cleaning the
    contacts, and reinstalling the SIM?

  • HT201342 What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

    What happens when I purchase a new iPad? How Will my music, photos and information transfer? Does iCloud hold all of that, if so how do I access it?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    When you set up iCloud on a new device, you will get photos from Photo Stream (you will have to transfer them to the device), your contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and your iCloud mail address. All of this will be done automatically by iCloud when you log in iCloud on your device.
    To transfer your purchased music, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 Also, if you have the music on your computer, just connect the iPad to the computer and sync it with iTunes to get your apps, movies, music...

  • Hi! Stupid questions, but how do i find my pictures when logging in to icloud?

    how do i find my pictures when logging in to icloud?
    I have an macbook air and a iphone 4. I have chosen automatically upload of the pictures to icloud, but when i log in to icloud i can't find out where my pictures are.
    I'm pretty new at this

    The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    My Photo Stream
    When you take photos on an iOS device, or import photos from your digital camera to your computer, My Photo Stream can automatically upload your new photos to iCloud and push them to all of your other devices. 
    When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
    How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
    How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    Since your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, be sure to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream.

  • HT4898 How can I continue sync my various Mail Accounts when I move to iCloud?

    How can I continue sync my various Mail Accounts when I move to iCloud?

    I wasn't aware that you could sync other mail accounts with MobileMe, other than their settings. If you are referring to settings, then they should already be set up on your mobile device, any new accounts would need to be added manually.
    POP accounts will continue to receive and send e-mail but will not sync (so for example if you delete an e-mail on one device it won't be deleted on the other), IMAP/exchange accounts will continue to function as they always have.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

  • I tried to sign in for icloud set up with my apple id, i received a message that your account limit has reached, how to get icloud access then?

    i tried to sign in for icloud set up for the first time with my apple ID, But unable to get through as i receive a message saying your account limit is reached, then how to proceed.

    I can't say why it should be doing this. If it persists then your only options are to set it up on another Mac or iOS device if you can (then you will be able to sign into it), or failing that to contact Support - though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

    I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!

    But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

  • "cannot send email message using the server icloud" on 10.6.8

    I use mail from my desktop, not from iCloud on the Internet. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. My mail was working fine until yesterday.
    It says "Cannot send message using the server iCloud. connections to the server smtp.me.com on the default ports timed out. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below.
    The list has:
       ICloud offline
       and Icloud
    Neither of them work.
    What has Apple changed regarding this in September?
    (I know others have posted similar message, but they were on 10.7)

    Same problem here.
    Recently an @icloud.com version (alias) of my existing @me.com email address appeared on my account. I can still send messages form the OSX build in Mail client as long as I am using the @me.com version of my email, but I do get this message when I try to use the new @icloud.com account.
    My account with iCloud states that both @me.com and @icloud.com versions of my email are active.
    Would be nice to know if this is a temporary problem of if this is a permanent one.
    The settings on the outgoing mail server are default as retrieved from apple when I configured the @me.com email for the first time. I went through the troubleshooting suggestions as provided on Apple website, double checking all the settings, no joy. At the very list I can still use the old @me.com alias with no problem (for now)
