  • I am trying to create my Apple ID, but not receiving the verification link from Apple,. I get the email but NOT the link,. any suggestions

    I am trying to create my Apple ID, but not receiving the verification link from Apple,. I get the email but NOT the link,. I have triple checked my email address and all Apple account info, all of which are correct. Any suggestions?

    Where are you trying to create it?
    Go to appleid.apple.com and create it there.   Type the country name in the space and a dropdown should appear. Nigeria is clearly available there.

  • Email appears on my iPad and iCloud inboxes but not in the OS X Mail application

    Some of my email does not show up in my iMac Mail application inbox but appears on my iPad and in my iCloud website inbox. I’m usually using my desktop iMac so I don’t see some of my email until hours later when I happen to be using my iPad.
    I’m running Mavericks, 10.9.1. Thanks for any solution suggestions.

    Sorry - got interrupted by Forum Maintenence...
    OK well even if it is not the Exchange problem, you could still try Airmail for a couple of bucks. You will find it as fast as ipad mail. It's in the App Store. It can run alongside Mail.
    Hopefully there will be other suggestions for improving Mail from other posters

  • Cannot download apps apple say it I should. Verify and they send verification to my account but when I open it to manages my account they always say they send the verification. Where can I verify my account to finish creating Apple ID pls help thanks

    Check your email account you set up in your Apple ID profile. Check spam and junk folders in case the email got trapped in there.

    You need to respond to a verification email that Apple should have sent to you by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • I am trying to activate and iCloud account with no luck

    I am trying to activate an iCloud account, but there is no option in the System prefs panel. The only option is a button that says to move my .me account to the cloud, I don't have a .me account 8( If I go to the icloud site, it says that I must activate the account in my system prefs, but I can't.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your system doesn't support iCloud, iCloud only comes with OS X 10.7.2 or better.
    You can update your OS at the Mac App store, if your hardware does not support the upgrade you will be told at the time you try.

  • I am trying to set up iCloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line, even tho I have gone into my apple account and changed to my mobile phone

    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.

  • I tried to sign in iCloud's but it is written that "maximum number of accounts has been activated on this mobile". How to correct it?? It is not working

    I tried to sign in iCloud's but it is written that "maximum number of accounts has been activated on this mobile". How to correct it?? It is not working

    Q: I tried to create an iCloud account,  but I received this message: “Cannot sign in. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone.” What does this mean?
    A: Apple limits users to 3 iCloud accounts meaning you can only create three iCloud accounts on an iOS device. You are seeing this error because you are trying to create the fourth iCloud account on your iOS device (iPad, iPod or iPhone). Unfortunately it seems that all (3) iCloud accounts have been created and you can’t create a new iCloud account on this device. Restoring or resetting your device will NOT change this. Your options are to either re-use one of the accounts that you previously created, or create a new iCloud account on a different iOS device or Mac.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Im trying to activate iphone with itunes and I get: "The iTunes store is temporary unavailable..." Any help??

    Im trying to activate iphone with itunes and I get: "The iTunes store is temporary unavailable..." Any help??

    Hello there, sarahg12.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting repeated prompts for authorization:
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
    All the topics are relevant but this one tends to be the most common culprit:
    Authorize using the correct account name
    The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
    Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
    Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
    If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
    If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I'm trying to set up a iTunes allowance account for my 11 year old daughter, I set up the account but put in the wrong email address, now it's trying to send the verification email to an old addy I no longer have access to. Help.

    I'm trying to set up a iTunes allowance account for my 11 year old daughter, I set up the account but put in the wrong email address, now it's trying to send the verification email to an old addy I no longer have access to. Help.
    I've tried looking at my own itunes account but I cannot seem to find the allowance account, it says I currently have zero allowance accounts.
    All I want to do is change the assigned email address.

    Who is the email provider? Not all accounts can be set up as POP3

    I am trying to activate my program into my new computer (the old one was run over by a car) and it says I have exceeded my installations.  It's Adobe Audition 3 (you can see I've been using it a long time) and I rely on it for work everyday.  Please advise.

    The activation server for Audition 3 was shut down by Adobe several years ago.
    You now need to download the non-activation version provided by Adobe here
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the new serial number provided by Adobe at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • I had backed up my IPhone 4s on iCloud on Jan 19. I am now trying to do another back up but it says the time required is 7 hours. It appears to long a time for 1GB of data stored on the iCloud. Can someone help me please?

    I had backed up my IPhone 4s on iCloud on Jan 19. I am now trying to do another back up but it says the time required is 7 hours. It appears to long a time for 1GB of data stored on the iCloud. Can someone help me please?

    To be honest, that sounds about right.
    For example on my 8Mbps (megbits) down service I get around 0.4Mbps upload.  That is the equivalent of (very approximately) 3Mb (megabytes) per minute or 180Mb per hour.  Over 7 hours that would be just over 1Gb.
    Obviously, it all depends on your connection speed, but that is certainly what I would expect, and that is why I use my computer for backing up, not iCloud.  So much quicker.
