I am trying to set up my iCloud account on my iPad.

  I am currently able to use iCloud on my iMac.  My iPad is telling me the account is not verified.  Shouldn't I be able to use iCloud on both my iPad and my iMac?

Hello ssiowalady4
The article below as well as the excerpt will assist with getting your iCloud account verified.

How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Have you tried your spam folder? it could have gone there by default. also, are you sure you put the correct email in for iCloud?

  • TS3988 I am trying to set a new iCloud account up on my iPad  -  how do I delete my old account?

    I set up a new iTunes account for my family and want to apply it to our iPad.  Since the whole family uses it i want a seperate iTunes and iCloud account while keeping my old iTunes account dedicated to my iPhone and iPod only.  How can I remove my old iTunes account from the iPad and set up new iCloud account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • HT204053 I am trying to set up my icloud account. It is telling me my account is not verified to check my email for verification. It is telling me to check my email at my Apple account? Everything is greyed out on the screen. Is it safe to delete this acc

    Hi.I am having difficulty setting up my icloud account on my iphone4. It's telling me Account not verified and to check my email at my apple account.The screen is greyed out and i cannot switch on any of the apps.Also icloud backup is off.  Is it safe to delete this account? will it erase everything on my phone??

    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.

  • So, I am trying to set up my iCloud account.

    I am trying to set up my new iCloud account, however, the email that iCloud automatically set me up with is a very old email and I'd prefer to use a newer one. Is it possible if i delete this account I can make a new one with a new email? Or will it just be completely erased? Thank you!

    The emailaddress that makes your Apple ID is not the email that iCloud sets up for you.
    You can set up iCloud email at iCloud.com
    There you can login with your Apple ID (which apparently is your aol address) and password.
    Once, logged in, click on the mail icon.
    It will the assist you in setting up an iCloud email address which will be a @me.com address.
    Unfortunately, you will thereafter not yet be able to change your Apple ID to your newly created icloud @me.com address, because for some reason, that is not yet allowed (I presume that Apple has yet to update there Apple ID system for that).

    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.

  • When trying to set up existing email account on new ipad, the account or password not recognised.

    purchase new ipad today and while trying to link my email account, it comes up with the message that the username and/or password is not recognised. Any help gratefully received. thanks

    Then maybe you should ask your e-mail provider what's wrong.

  • I purchase a ipad from a friend. I set up an apple id on my ipad. Iam trying to set up a itunes account for this ipad, i have had a itunes account in the past, but my apple id is the same only with a 36 at the end of my apple id. When I log into itunes to

    create a new account, it tells me that I already have an account and it won't let me create a new account, how do i cancel that old itunes account and create a new one with my new apple e-mail address?
    Also when I select on my ipad free apps, it pops up with the previous owner apple id on it, how can I change that to my apple id?

    From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled.  You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
    Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
    You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.

  • I am trying to set up my iCloud on my iPod

    I am trying to set up my iCloud account on my iPod using my current Apple ID but it says that my Apple ID is valid but I have used all the free accounts on the device. Can anyone help me to set it up? I way to use my current Apple ID plus I have no idea how I used all the accounts

    Each iOS device can have a maximum of three iCloud accounts.  After that you can only re-use one of the accounts you already set up.  If you have another iOS device you could create a new account on that if you haven't used all three, then use it on your iPod Touch.  Otherwise you'll have to remember the ID you used for one of the accounts already set up and sign in with that again.

  • TS4403 My Apple ID is not an icloud account. How do I set up an icloud account?

    I am trying to set up an icloud account on a Win7PC, so I can share photos with my family who are on ipads. I have followed the instructions several times on how to get started on icloud, how to set up an Apple ID (which I was able to do), and I just go round in circles when I get to the iCloud dashboard. The same message My Applie ID is not an iCloud account. The 'Learn More' button doesnt take you anyway, as far as I can tell, and the 'Learn More about iCloud' takes you to the iCloud page for trouble shooting, which presumes that you already have an icloud account, since it doesnt tell you what to do to resolve the error message that I have.
    Any advice much appreciated.

  • I cannot set up my iCloud account.

    When trying to set up my iCloud account, I am prompted to enter my apple id/password. After doing so it tells me my info is incorrect. Shouldn't this be the same ID/PW as my Apple account? Or do I need to create a new one?

    Follow the instructions here >  Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

  • TS4036 I have a Macbook pro and I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to Preferences, there is NO ICloud there.  How can I get ICloud back into  "my preferences" to set it up?

    I have a MacBook Pro, its 1 year old.  I'm trying to set up my ICloud on it, and when I go to "preferences", (it says to go to "Preferences" in the instructions,) and then "click" on "ICloud", but my ICloud is not there.  How can I get "ICloud back into "my preferences". 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This suggests you don't have the right operating system. OS X 10.7.2 or better is required for iCloud, which operating system do you have.

  • HT5622 I have a new iPad mini. trying to set up my iCloud. I have a wifi connection at a hotel. trying to connect to my iCloud account. Getting a message saying "Verification Failed" the request timed out.

    If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.
    Can you open web sites with Safari?

  • I am having trouble trying to get my address book from my mac (just downloaded Lion for this purpose) to my 3G ipad. Set up an icloud account but still confused! Please help !

    I updated my mac with  os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G.

When I'm on my mac and try to use bluetooth to export the address book, I'm able to find my ipad but I soon get a message that it does not support the necessary services. I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah

    The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
    You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
    On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
    Sign into your iCloud account.
    Tick everything.
    This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
    On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Create a new iCloud account.
    Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
    Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
    BAM!
    That is all you need to do.
    Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
    No need to use iTunes

  • I was setting up an iCloud account.  I set it up and the wanted to delete it.  When I did that, I inadvertently deleted all my contacts off my iPhone.  I don't think there was any backup.  How do I get my contacts back?

    Hi.  I was setting up an iCloud account on my son's iPhone.  We set up the account, but then decided to delete it.  When we did, we accidentally deleted all the contacts from his iPhone.  There was no backup done yet.  I tried backing up his contacts in verizon backup, but that didn't work.  Can anyone help p,was.  He lost hundreds of contacts

    If you deleted the account by going to Settings>icloud, scrolled to bottom of page and tapped Delete Account, then all you have to do is go to the same page an sign in using the same ID; be sure Contacts is turned on.
