I cannot get my email address to verify or use facetime

I'm having trouble verifying my email address and I am not getting certain emails that apple is sending me to fix this. I want to use facetime and I can't get into the app. I've changed my wifi numbers but I still can't get in.

Hi PlainStreet,
For information on verifying your email addresses associated with your Apple ID, see this article:
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID

How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
Cheers!

I have an iphone 4 and cannot get my mute off when I am using Facetime. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. When I touch the mute button, nothing happens. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

the mute button is a switch you need to flip, not touch. if you look at it and see color, its on.

I click on there contacts email address and it just flashes but never see address
How can I see the email address - is there some setting wrong somewhere ??
thanks all

Hi Globalmark,
How can I see the email address - is there some setting wrong somewhere ??
The email address should appear in the Status bar at the bottom of the Safari window when you mouse over the address. If there is no Status bar there, press cmd+/ to turn it on.
Normally when you click on an address it should launch your local email application. Open Mail (Applications > Mail) and check in Mail preferences > General to see what application is currently configured to handle emails (don't ask me why this setting is here... only Apple can answer that one!).
If it is set to Mail aready, try changing it to something else (any program, it does not matter which one) and then quit both Mail and Safari. Restart Mail, and once again change the default application to be Mail and quit Mail once more. Lastly, restart Safari and retry a site with an email link.
Hope some of that helps!

How to get group email addresses in BCC on iPad?

Have recently bought iPad mini, have MacBook so synced. Cannot get group email addresses to show up in iPad addresses book, and can't get them into bcc on mail?

That is because groups cannot be added in the iPad mail app, as bizarre as that seems. That functionality does not exist. You cannot create groups in the contacts app on the iPad either. Yoy can create them in iCloud.com but not on the iPad itself. You just have to add the email addresses one at a time by tapping the blue + button and selecting the contact from the contacts window that will pop up.
There are apps that let to email to groups .....

When trying to verify the email address, I get the following message. Please help. This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

Find out what your email address is and do the activation again.

We reset back to factory settings, we had to try a few email addresses before finding one we could use. Now it is asking to verify one of the email addresses we didn't use. How do we get out of that?

We reset back to factory settings. After a few attempts we found an email we could use to set up as Apple ID. Everything was working great. Now it has pulled up one of the email addresses we tried to use, and is trying to verify, and asking to continue to complete the set up. It gets to a certain page, and stays there, won't let us get out of the page. We shut down the iPad, but it came back to the same thing, when it restarted. What do we do to stop this?

You will need another iOS device or a computer in order to do this, but I assume that's not a problem since you are on this forum.
see if you can change the ID using the instructions here.
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
Did you try starting all over again to see if you can start from scratch now?

I get the msg "email address not verified" when I sign into iTunes account, however it shows my account as already verified

I get the msg "email address not verified" when I sign into iTunes account, however it shows my account as already verified, sends me back to sign in again & then gives me the same msg all over again. How do I fix this and access my iTunes account from my iPod Touch?

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find out how to fix it?

After finally getting my imac from fedex, cannot get past the Update Apple ID and to use ICloud I have to change my app id. okay, but the red keeps saying that email address is already being used. is it because I am on the apple site on a netbook pc?

On the Update Apple ID screen to use ICloud, I get a red message that email address is already being used. It does not accept my email address? I do not understand what the screen is asking me. Is this because I am using the apple ID on a netbook for this note or what.
Is there a way to bypass this screen if I don't want to use ICloud? I don't want to screw up the original setup of my imac. If I could get to the desktop, then I would know what OS and programs are in my machine.

Hi, hopefully you've called Apple on this... you have 90 days free phone support.

Why can I not verify my Apple ID? I keep getting this message after trying: "the email address is alread in use or you may already have an apple id associated with this email address. please try again or sign in using your existing apple id"

the email address is alread in use or you may already have an apple id associated with this email address. please try again or sign in using your existing apple id............ PLEASE HELP ME

Hi all,
I tried this and it worked:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password you used when creating the account.
4) Change the email address associated with your account.
5) Send new verification email
I also got this from apple CS for other things to try:
Please follow these steps to access your Apple ID accountinformation:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password youused when creating the account.
4) Delete any duplicate email addresses associated withyour account.
5) Click the Save Changes button.
If you do not have duplicate email addresses on your account, it is possible that your email address is already being used withanother Apple ID. In order to verify your email address with the current AppleID, it will need to be disassociated from your other Apple ID. You can do thatby following these steps:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Log in with your other Apple ID and password.
3) Select the Manage your account link.
4) Choose Name, ID, and Email Address from the left sideof the page.
5) Next to Primary Email Address, select Edit so that youcan change the email address associated with this Apple ID.
6) Once you've made the desired change, select SaveChanges.
7) Choose Sign Out from the top right of the page.
If you would like to have the verification email resentto you, please sign into https://appleid.apple.com/with the Apple ID you want to verify, and make sure there is not a typo in yourPrimary Email Address. Select the "Edit" link to the right of your email address to make corrections and then click the "Save Changes" button.Once the typo is fixed, or if there is no typo, click the "Resend"link under your email address.
If you still do not receive the verification email,please reply to this email with the email address that you intend to use onyour Apple ID.
Good luck!

"" does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.

I am getting this error whenever I copy an email address from somewhere and paste it into the 'To' field.
“” does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.
Whattup with that?
Only way to get around it seems to be either typing the whole address in (uh!) or clicking on the email address and letting Mail create the new message. Both are not the way I need to do things and it used to work perfectly in Snow Leopard, as would be expected for such a basic sort of command.

I had the same problem with multiple adressess:
I used the " ; " as a seperator.
The message was sent with no trouble at all as soon as I used the " , " (comma) instead.
Hope this helps

HT5312 what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the forgot your security question thing still doesnt show because i dont no my security questions ???????????????????????

what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the i forgot my security questions still doesnt show up and i dont no the answers !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! what do i do then because i dont want to phone up !?!?!?! please help !!??!?!?!

If you have just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate email address - a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions. You will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Have situation on a unprotected wireless when accessing I cannot get a router address. I'm on system 10.6.8 on MacBook Pro summer 2009. Any thoughts on how to determine what's up?

You have basically verified that the issue is NOT with your MBP, but with this particular Wi-Fi network. Even though it may be unsecured, the provider may have elected to configure it for MAC filtering. In this case I am referring to the MAC (Media Access Control) address and not your Mac laptop itself. If this has been enabled, your Mac would only be able to connect if the Mac's MAC address was added to that filter.
