Icloud account cannot be verified

For the last 24 hours I have not been able to log into my iCloud account, my email has worked sporadically, my cloud backups on my iPhone and iPad are not working.
I get "verification" errors on my devices and "cannot connect to server" when I try to connect to iCloud on my Mac. Devices are also locking up if I go into
System Pref for iCloud.
I also could not sign in to iTunes.
I reset my password and that did not solve the problem
ICloud is reported to be up and running fine by Apple and others.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Deanna

When you change your apple id to a new email address, you will have received a verification email. You need to click the link in that email. If you haven't received that email, you can log into appleid.apple.com >> manage your apple id, and resend the verification email.

Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account. Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox. The email you should receive looks like the image below. When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
If it still isn't there, try going 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 look for a link to resend the verification email.

Icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone

Hi I previously managed to set-up my iphone then lock it out by entering my passcode incorrectly too many times. In the end I have to restore the phone via itunes (which took 3 hrs)!.
I'm now trying to reset-up the phone, when I turned it on it remembered the previous icloud account the phone had been set-up with however it would not accept the password. Its now saying this icloud account cannot be used to unlock this iphone.
When i log into the same icloud account on the PC, the password works, however the find my iphone doesn't show this iphone as being connected.
Any ideas on who I can get this iphone working again.
Thanks Sadie

You cannot Bypass the iPhone Activation Process.
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.

HT201077 photos for iCloud account cannot be accessed

I keep getting this error on my iMAC:
"photos for iCloud account cannot be accessed"
but when check iPhoto, photo streaming is turned on.
Any ideas?

You could try signing out of iCloud -- it will need to stop all the iCloud services and clean up the data stored locally. -- the log back in. It worked for me

Itunes paypal account cannot be verified

Anyone else having this issue when they try to buy a song or app? I get a message saying "itunes paypal account cannot be verified." I've tried updating (the already correct info) paypal. Any solutions?

Hi All,
I finally worked out the issue. Twitter have enabled app-specific passwords when you are using two-factor authentication.
You need to get a temporary app password from twitter - see: https://twitter.com/settings/password - click on the "Generate password button" - this will generate a temporary password for you.
Use this with your use username in the ML preferences pane for Accounts and your twitter account will authenticate successfully.
If you get this problem and don't have two-factor authentication, then I'm not sure what the problem is - but this seems to be the solution for those using two-factor authentication with twitter (and to be honest, everyone should be using it!).
Hope that helps folks.
Have a wonderful day
Warm Regards,

I mistyped my email on icloud account and cant verify my account , forgot my security question answer and stuck on icloud activation

i mistyped my email on icloud account and cant verify my account , forgot my security question answer and stuck on icloud activation for 1 year i call to apple almost every day but they don care ,cuz my name is mohammad and i am iranian ,they treat me like i am no one , plz some one help me ps /i have case no and they know everything ,they tould me we know this phone is yours but they play with me ,,

If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

My iCloud account will not verify

I am currently having troubles setting up iCloud between my devices.
I have tried to verify iCloud on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2, both screens sit at "This account is not verified" and then states I need to check my email.
Upon doing so, no email has been sent.
I have tried temporarily deleting the iCloud account and starting over but nothing has worked.
What should I do from here?
ps: correct email address is there.

The verification email should be sent to the primary email account you used when you set up your iCloud ID, not to your iCloud email 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.

Icloud account cannot be registrated in outlook 2010

Hello,
I want to put my icloud account in Outlook 2010
wenn he ist searching he can't find the settings.
wenn I do it manually, imap, mail.me.com smtp.me.com +emailadress and passwort
next messages are coming
An Posteingangsserver anmelden (IMAP): Timeout beim Warten auf eine Serverantwort.
Testnachricht senden: Ihre Anmeldung wurde vom E-Mail-Server zurückgewiesen. Überprüfen Sie Ihren Benutzernamen und das Kennwort für dieses Konto in den "Kontoeinstellungen".
a microsoft outlook mail is coming in on my iPhone.
what is wrong in my settings?

I agree, i can't understand why they don't just explain the settings. And why they do not consistently work.
I too had issues, Outlook was "working" when i set up the @me account, then I started getting the annoying little internat email login popup (that does not go away). Finally after many "experiments" i have it "apparently working" (will explain working with the following settings:
accoutn type: IMAP
incoming server: imap.mail.me.com Port: 993: SSL
outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com Port: 25 (default): Auto
"Require SPA" is checked, but not on outgoing server.
It does now finally work without putting up the annoying internet email login. However, now i discoverd a greater problem.
OUTLOOK IS NOT REALLY SENDING THE EMAIL. It is putting it in the "sent" box as if it did, but no one receives it. No errors, no warning. And this dates all the way back to the time i started using the @me account. My only work around is to use the stupid icloud mail browser app. Really low in functionality compared to outlook.
This really affects the reliability of the icloud product and this is a serious error. It really cuts down on the utility of the icloud and whewther it can be integrated with the PC at all. Like everyone else i have also had the creation of multiple calendars and multiple contacts.
Apple better fix this quick or a lot of people will start using gmail, droid and google cloud products.

My icloud account won't verify. i never get the email to verify the account

Please help! i have changed my itunes password, deleted my icloud account, nothing works. the account used to work fine, then just stopped.

Make sure that your Apple ID is your email address and you do not have any other or old IDs associated with you. Go to www.appleid.apple.com and confirm this info. Make sure that the email address you are trying to sign up with is your primary one.

HT1918 All of a sudden my paypal account cannot be verified.

I have tried everything to put the account back into iTunes and nothing works. What do I do?

You should check that your settings (both directions) match this:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? If you migrated from MobileMe using this your mail settings won't be correct and you will need to follow this procedure to re-enter them:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

As soon as I enter my I Pad 2, in the middle of the screen, over the Settings is a stationary box for ICLOUD, saying account cannot be verified and asking me to check my email account. All my emails have been checked and my email box is empty.

Can someone please give me advice in the most simplist terms because anything to do with computers or I Pads
are totally confusing to me. I am one person who should never had entered into using this field of communication because I'm plain DUMB.
Thanking you,

I have this problem every time when I open my computer; Photos for the iCloud account cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.

processor 2.5 Ghz intel core i5
memory 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD graphics 4000 512 MB
Serial Number C1*******TY3
software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
my problem is, every time when I open my computer I get this note, Photo stream and it says I need to check something? And I also cannot share videos from youtube… there is no option for me to share on FB..
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

For Youtube and Facebook.
Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode - Mavericks
Safe Mode - About
For Photo Stream, try System Preferences/iCloud - un-check Photos and then re-check.

When trying to update apps it keeps telling me my account cannot be verified. How do I fix this?

When trying to update my apps it keeps telling me it cannot verify my address! How do I fix this?

Contact itunes support

Help needed. Itunes account cannot be verified. Need to sync iPhone 3G.

I created an account last Wednesday and verified my account using my e-mail address many times. However, I am not able to log in and iTunes keep on saying I have to verify my account.
Already contacted apple support group with Track ID 8352210. Though I have not received any reply from them after I replied to them with the information needed.
It's been 4 days now and I really need to download applications on my Iphone 3g since it is such a useless brick compared to other competing cellphones in the market.
Hope I could utilize my gadget soon.
Thanks,
Miss Maria

Thanks, I turned genius off and now I can actually sync my phone! I was really excited about genius though . When I tried to turn on genius again (to see if it would work this time) it gives me an error that says: *"Genius results can't be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (-50). Please try again later"*. It works fine when it collects data about my library but it's when it tries to send the info to Apple when it shows me the error. I'm guessing that this is an issue with the itunes servers and not with my PC but we'll see.
