HT204407 Your Apple ID needs a Verified Email

Though I have received invitations, and accepted them successfully, I'm suddenly getting a dialog box that says "Your Apple ID Needs a Verified Email Address". Well, I checked my account and all are verified. It's only Find My Friends that is throwing this error so far. Anyway, I can't get rid of this dialog.

I had the same problem. I managed to fix it by selecting the "Me" tab, then the "Account" button in the toolbar and then in the "Notifications" group I selected an email address for the "Send As" item. Not sure how this got reset, but I was able to accept and request an invitation afterwards.

What does "Your Apple ID Needs a Verified Email" mean?

For the first time *ever* when I tried to accept a Find My Friends invitation, I got a dialog box that said: "Your Apple ID Needs a Verified Email Address. To continue using Find My Friends add and verify and email address http://appleid.apple.com"
Well, I have 4 verified emails! This dialog just won't go away.
Thoughts?

Oops, other treads indicate this is a bug of some kind related to my @mac account. I thought Apple products were easy to use.

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

Nevermind, I fixed it (I think). I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically). I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation

Apple ID / iCloud - Cannot verify email address , maybe used in a different account?

Hi all!
Until last week I was having a Family Account on MobileMe.
Now that I have transferred all sub accounts to iCloud I moved the main account, too.
All sub accounts are working fine and the can use all services like Find my Friends.
Now after having moved the main account all worked fine for that account except one service.
When trying to use the Find my friends I get a message
"Cannot connect to Find my Friends - Verify your Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com to use Find my Friends"
When opening that URL on my mac and going to "Manage your account" and then clicikng on "Verify now"
"A verification email has been sent"
Doing the same from the dialogue on my iPhone I get "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"
Having worked though a lot of discussions here I think the issue is with an old apple id that I might forgot about having my new one as an alternative address verified.
The problem is now that I don't have access to this old account , so I cannot remove it.
I should mention that I did not get a single mail for verification send to that address , even though having asked for it on my mac now several times.
What I tried so far
- Connected to all apple id accounts I have access to and assured that the eMail is not used and verifed there.
- Tried the "Verify now" several times
- Supplied a different alternative address to that account and succesfully veriefied it. Still I cannot verify the primary one and cannot use Find my Friends
- Updated the password to meet new complexity rules, it does now include lower,capital letters, numbers and is at least a characters long
That leaves me know with two questions:
1 - How can it be, that opening the same page and doing the same thing, results in two different messages on my Mac and my iPhone?
2 - How can I arrange, that from this old account the alternative address is removed so that I can verify it agains the new one?
Many thanks in advance for any ideas!
Note: This account is my main private eMail so dumping it and creatign a new iCloud account is not an option.

I had a similar problem. I had to call Apple support via phone and ask what apple ids my email was associated with. He was able to give me the email server it was associated with (ex: yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc) and that sparked off the memory I needed to recall that ancient and unused apple id. Then I had to recover the password, log in to that old id and change the primary email address.
As for no verification email sent, there is a major lag between changing your settings and them actually changing in Apple's system. I don't know why this is. I couldn't delete a secondary email no matter what I tried. Then 4 hours later, it finally let me do it.
hope this helped a litte, good luck!

Is there anyway to change the security questions for your apple Id without using the email address as I've forgotten that as well -.-

This is kinda annoying :L I've recently bought a fifth gen iPod to replace my broken fourth and soon as I've gone to buy something it's asked me to provide security questions and since its been over 2 years I've forgotten both my questions/answers but also the email address used for back up is there someone I can contact or even a way round it ?

First try:
Can I change the answers to the security questions for my Apple ID?
Yes. You can change the answers to the security questions provided when you originally signed up for your Apple ID. Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your Apple ID. Sign in with your Apple ID name and password, go to the section Password and Security and click Reset your security information.

Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
Last contact iTunes by:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
Click on "Account Management" and then on "Forgotten Security Questions". That will take you to a page where you can talk to iTunes Support right away, or you can schedule a call to talk to them. They should be able to get you squared away so that you can log on to the old Apple ID.

How can you change your Apple ID to a new email address?

My old email was deleted and I used this as my Apple ID. I now have a new one and can't change my Apple ID on my phone and iPad, (Under 'icloud' in settings). However I have been able to change it in iTunes & App Store.
I also tried deleting the account and re doing it in my new one but it asks for the password due to find iPhone being on, and it won't do it. (I remember my old password)
Please help!
It's very frustrating and keeps wanting me to sign in.
Thanks

1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID? If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account. If it doesn't work, try #2.
2) If you don't have access to your old email account. Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes. DON'T sign out yet. Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account. Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address. You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
Hope this helps! Cheers!

HT201455 I didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email

I have I redeemed an itunes card in my apple ID and when I tried to purchase Apps
it keep asking me to answer two security question but I don't remember my answers
so I logged in "appleid.apple.comand" clicked on "Password and Security" and then "Send reset security info email"
and I made sure that its the correct email account and my account is receiving email
and I tried sending it more than once but nothing there..
please help me

The reset email will be sent to the rescue email address that you put on the account - you cannot view and/or change your rescue address without answering two of your security question.
If you aren't receiving the email to that email account (and you've checked the spam folder as well as the inbox on the account) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then view and/or update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620

Have Apple asked me to verify my email address?

I've received an email addressed to someone else asking me to verify my email address as a new rescue email, I'm guessing this is a scam?
Dear Aaron Gardner,
You recently added ***** as a new rescue email address for your Apple ID. To verify this email address belongs to you, click the link below and then sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Verify now >
Why you received this email.
Apple requests verification whenever an email address is added to an Apple ID. Your email address cannot be used without verification.
If you didn’t make this change or if you believe an unauthorized person is attempting to access your account, you can reset your password by going to My Apple ID.
Sincerely,
Apple Support

I would go with the presumption that it's phishing. Or at the very least, someone tried to do something with your account.
I'd change the password on your Apple ID, but don't do anything via any link in that e-mail. Sign in via your iTunes and do it through a known good link (as in via the manage your ID part of iTunes)

HT5787 Hallo , i don't remember the answer to my security questions and my apple ID is my old Email address whice not active any more and i don't have access to it

If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

My apple ID is a disconnected email...how can I change it?

My iTunes and iCloud accounts are linked the the same Apple ID, which is a now-dead email address. How can I change the email to my new working email address without losing my access to the everything?
Also, lt looks like my security questions also are being sent to an old/dead email. This is why I'm afraid to make any changes.
thanks...
