I cannot verify iCloud, it asks me to check my email but when I do there's nothing in there

When I try and activate my iCloud on my iPhone 4, first of all it said I was using an incorrect password and now I've overcome that hurdle it's asking me to check my e-mail and when I do there's no e-mail or anything there?!?!?  Is anyone else having the same problem? Many Thanks.

You are positive you are using the same Apple ID and password you are trying to activate iCloud with?
If so, try "resetting" your Apple ID password >  Apple - My Apple ID
Then restart your iPhone.   Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Then try setting up iCloud >   Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

  • I just got new ipad 2. When I try to verify icloud, it asks me to check email, but that doesn't work.

    I have a new ipad2, and cannot verify icloud. i don't know if it has a wrong account name, or some setting is wrong.

    You are not using iTunes Match are you? If you are, you have to turn it off on the device before you sync with iTunes but I'm not sure how that impacts manually managing music in iTunes. I would also assume that if you use Match, the songs would download from the cloud by using Match on the device.
    iTunes Match on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Support - Apple
    This is sort of a long shot, but it's easy to try and won't hurt anything. Close all the apps on the iPad in the recents tray and reboot the iPad, then try again. I saw this work for someone else a while back that couldn't download or sync music, but I think it was probably just a coincidence, but as I said, it will not hurt to try.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Even if the email address was only associated with another Apple ID (as an alternate or rescue email address), it would not be available for use as your Apple ID (email addresses can only be associated with a single ID).
    There isn't anything you can do to troubleshoot this on your own.  You could try contacting Apple support to see if they can help.  You are not normally charged for support questions related to your Apple ID.

  • HT204053 I cannot set up icloud on my iphone.  When I follow the instructions, it always says check email but when I check my email there is no email about this.  Should I delete the account.  What is this delete account

    I cannot set up icloud on my iphone 4s.  When I go to settings it always says check your email but when I check my email there is none sent to me.

    Check your spam folder to be sure it isn't there.  If not, try going to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and Manage your account.  There should be a link there to resend the verification email.

    Am trying to switch on "find my iphone" icon  but cannot verify my icloud account. Tells me to see email but nothing comes thru with any instructions.
    Any help much appreciated as phone assistence unavailable today.

    Hello Asokwah,
    Sign out from your pple Id on your Device and Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and then Sign In with your Apple Id here and Under your Primary Email Address click on Resend Next to Verification Email Sent. Now Go to your Email Account and Verify your Apple Id again by clicking in the Link inside the Mail that you might have received from Apple. Now Sign In on your Device and try to make a Purchase and if it is for the first time then you will be asked to Review your Account and if you have entered your Credit/Debit card in your Account then you will have to just Enter your 3 Digits CVV Number and then click on Done. And then you can try downloading any Application from AppStore or Music from iTunes Store and check if its working.

    I need to deactive icloud to be able to repair my phone as it is damaged. however when signing into icloud it appears with a box asking me to verify the information in my email. When loging into my email inbox, there is no message there from icloud to verify. so how do I get onto icloud or how else can I deactivate it without using my device?

    Hi ryball89,
    Happy Holidays!  If you are having issues with the verification email for your iCloud/Apple ID, follow the steps below:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201455
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email
    Not sure where that email was sent? Here are some tips to help you find it.
    When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account. If you can't find the email after we send it, these steps can help.
    Search for the email
    We'll send the email from "Apple," so you can quickly search for it. If it isn't in your inbox, check your folders. If a spam filter or email rule moved the email, it might be in the Spam, Junk, Trash, Deleted Items, or Archive folder.
    Make sure you're checking the correct email account
    If you're looking for a password reset email, make sure you're checking the correct email inbox. It will either be your primary Apple ID email address or a separate rescue email address that you added to your account. 
    If you're looking for a verification email, you can sign in to My Apple ID and review all the email addresses you have on file, including the one that you're trying to verify. If the email address is incorrect, you can update it and send another verification email.
    Resend the email
    To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.
    To resend the verification email, go to My Apple ID, select Manage your Apple ID, then sign in. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.
    Make sure that you're getting email
    If you're not getting any email, you might need to contact your email service provider for help. You can also use these steps to get help receiving email at OS X Mail or an iCloud email address. 
    Contact us
    Go to System Status and see if Apple ID is available. If you still can't find the reset email or verification email, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,
    Judy

  • New Icloud Terms and Conditions window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months.

    'New Icloud Terms and Conditions' window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months. When I click, 'view terms' it takes me to my Icloud section in settings, but the terms don't pop up. I plugged it into my iTunes to see if it would pop up, but that didn't work either. My phone is updated, and I'm pretty sure I already accepted the new terms and conditions on the last update a few months back.

    Hi munaxnight,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone continuing to ask you to accept terms and conditions, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap

    I cannot get the Output Module to work. I was able to get the button to show up, but when I click on it, nothing happens. i need to export a PDF asap. I am trying to export 33 PSD files in BRIDGE to a PDF like I used to do on my other computer with bridge.

    Let's start with the general things.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • HT204266 Trying to check for updates but when I hit updates I keep getting the message  cannot connect to iTunes. I'm signed in in my settings so not sure what else to do?

    I'm trying to connect to the app store to check for updates but when I go to the update tab I keep getting the message cannot connect to iTunes store. I am signed into iTunes in my settings so not sure what to do!

    You should not get that message if you are simply trying to load the shuffle with songs from your iTunes library.  If iTunes is trying to Update or Restore the shuffle, and you get that message, try the suggestions in this article
