HT201303 why is Apple ID constantly sending me email to verify my acct, and even tho i have my password correct it says it is incorrect?????
I am new to iphone and itunes. I constantly get email to verify my account name. Many times I put my password in correct and it says it needs to verify. In two days time about ten times. What am I doing wrong?
The verification email is not sent immediately so be patient and wait a while.

I am trying to set up Icloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line (which I guess I entered back when I first got my MacBook). I have gone into my apple account and changed the # to my mobile phone, but it continued to send it to the land line. Probably is something simple, but I am not a techy!!
Hi,
As regardss to the iChat and iChat Sharing categorisation you have used.
In iChat 6 (lion) and Messages (Mountain Lion) the apps login to AIM and to Me.com
The Login to Me.com allows AIM to verify the password to the iCloud issued names (@me.com and @iCloud.com)
This "Dual" login also prevents the newer iCloud issued name from using this site
(it has extra Privacy settings that iChat can't access for your AIM and Aim valid Accounts)
Ignoring the @mac.com and MobileMe entries in the Add Account Screen in iChat and using the AIM one does not get around this issue.
AIM and @mac.com names still work in older versions of iChat.
The short answer is that iCloud issued Apple IDs do not work in iChat 5 or Earlier.

this pop up comes up any old time, not when i'm clicking another link or anything - i can just be reading a page, or be on facebook, anything, and it comes up and suggests something out of the blue, like "search for your local state college doctors on yellowbook". (example: here is a URL it just brought up in a popup while i was just reading facebook: http://ypeek.yellowbook.com/yellow-pages/?what=doctors&where=state+college%2C+pa)
I definitely did NOT download anything from Yellowbook and in fact NEVER use it, so that makes this very strange. Also, my brother-in-law (a computer programmer) ran software checks on my computer and cleaned everything up, and there were no viruses, etc. but this still happens.

why did apple erase ichat? its so much better than messages and now I cant video chat with my ichat buddies!!!
HI,
Apple did not erase iChat.
Messages in Mountain Lion is iChat +
The plus bit is the fact you can iMessage iOS devices.
All the other features that were in iChat are still there.
If you upgraded Lion to get to Mountain Lion then in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars you probably list all the iChat Accounts (Screen Names and IDs).
You may need to enable them for Messages.
They should also show up in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts
Once those accounts (AIM and Jabber) are Enabled they can be viewed in a Combined Buddy List
Windows Menu > Buddies (Or using CMD + 1 Keystrokes)
In the General Section of the Preferences you can Unlink these Buddy lists.
The Green icons or highlight a Buddy and then using the Buddies Menu or the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list can be used the same way to start Video or Audio Only chats.
The iMessage "Account" is only for texting iOS devices or other people using their Apple ID on a Mac in Messages.
It is an account "in addition to" rather than "taking over from" the services that iChat can join.

I have an ipad 2 and it constantly buffers on I players such as itv and 4od. I have an iPhone 5 and on the same wifi it's perfectly fine yet my ipad won't play. Any ideas??
Hi,
Have you tried a reset?
This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.

I have an iphone 4s 16 g IMEI **** Could you send me email that I icloud instill and restore know email
<Edited By Host>You aren't addressing Apple here. We are users like you.
The only person that can help you is the former owner, who must erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. No one else can help and there is no way around this. -
How do I send an email from my Iphone to a "group" that I have established in my Yahoo account?
So I have bought a couple of apps on my iphone and would like to transfer them to my itunes library, but not sure how.
iTunes > File > Transfer purchases
When I plug in my iphone and try and sync the two, I get a warning from itunes that everything on my iphone will be wiped and everything from my itunes library will be moved to it.
Have you changed the computer you are syncing with? -
So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I updated both my iPad and iPhone with latest update. Love it! However, I wanted to use the find iPhone using iCloud feature. From the beginning of update it kept prompting me to verify my account when I wanted to use iCloud ??? Apple kept telling me to check my email to verify my account and there is not an email from them. And I'm not talking about verifying by my alternate email which I was successful at.

It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.

Use BCC. That's blind carbon copy. And copy paste the address into the BCC field. It really depends what e-mail program you use how to enable BCC.

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.
Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up -
Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?
Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?
"Firefox can be configured to restore all windows and tabs that were open when the application is closed or terminated unexpectedly. This article describes the circumstances under which your session is restored and how you can configure it."
I have it set up, in "Tools", "Options", etc., for my windows and tabs to reopen & be restored to the webpages that they were previously at before I, for one reason or another, restarted my computer! But, after I restart my computer and the Firefox browser, it always goes to my homepage; the windows & tabs NEVER restart as they should!
It wasn't always like this. It has only been within the last few weeks that this has become a constant and consistent problem. I assume that a Firefox update somehow disabled something & that's why it isn't working properly but, whatever...
How do I fix this so that my windows & tabs reopen as they should!?Have you checked to make sure that under>> Options >> General >> That the startup behavior is appropriately? I had the same problem after upgrading and setting my homepage. It should be set to "show my windows and tabs from last time".
Just re-read your post. sounds like you've tried this already.
