ICloud email account not verified?

I've entered AppleID both username and password correct. It spools to verify email and then asks me to Check Email- however, NO email received ?

I managed to fix my issue by identifying that I not only had one but TWO (2) Apple ID's and I was logging in using the incorrect account that was initially linked to my Apple store.
I have since deleted additional Apple ID account and then went in and deleted iCloud account (Settings/iCloud/Delete Account). After deleting iCloud I went in AGAIN and set it up using the correct Apple ID and password)....
Hope this helps?

    my iCloud says account not verified but doesn't send me an e-mail for verificationl, have tried this maney times but no e-mail reply ?

    Check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • ICloud email account not showing up

    I've tried without success to add my icloud email account to Mail.  I can go to my ICloud account to get my mail and even get it on my IPhone 5S, but not on my IMac.  Any advice?

    The iCloud account is auto created by signing into iCloud. The cox.net account will have to be created manually by you.
    For your iCloud account, go to system preferences and sign out of iCloud completely. Then go to Mail's preferences, accounts tab, and see if the iCloud account is gone from accounts listed. If not, highlight the account and delete it using the "-" sign at the bottom of the window.
    Quit Mail, then reopen Mail. Go back into System Preferences, click on the iCloud icon and sign back into iCloud. Be sure to check the box for Mail.
    That should correct any problems you may be having with the iCloud account.

  • Can't sign into icloud, says account not verified

    Hi logancampbell,
    It appears as though your Apple ID, and through it your iCloud account, has been compromised. I would suggest that you change the password to that Apple ID as soon as you can. See this article for how to do so -
    Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
    It may be necessary for you to contact Apple ID for help with your account's security. You can do so using this article -
    Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
    After changing your password, you may wish to consider using two-step verification to increase security, if you are not already. See this article for an overview -
    Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Sincerely,

  • New iCloud email account not working - duplicate/ambiguous directory match error

    I set myself up a new iCloud account this morning once I got iOS 5 loaded on my iPhone 3GS. I was able to create a new @me.com email address, but I think I might have stepped on someone else's existing address as when I send it email, I get a rejection immediately with "duplicate/ambiguous directory entry". iCloud email doesn't work on iCloud.com, and iCloud mail account on the iPhone tells me the user or password is incorrect.
    Other than that, iOS 5 is working great so far!

    Same symptoms - let's look at the "cause". I was digging in my iPhone settings and although I did everything as prompted in the iCloud setup here is what has actually happened under the hood.
    First - What iCloud guided me to do.
    •I had a @mac Apple ID I decided to use it for iCloud
    •iCloud said I neeeded a new @me address to use mail and iMessaging and asked me to set one up
    •I set up a new @me email address
    Sencond - The Results
    •I can receive email at my new @me address (expected)
    •I can login to iCloud online with my old Apple ID (expected)
    •I can not send outgoing mail - error on password (unexpected)
    Third - Under the Hood (Settings that are a little odd)
    On my iPhone, under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> iCloud -> Account,
    At the very bottom under "Advanced" is the email info, now this should be the new active @me address but its NOT! It's my old AppleID with the @mac address - which of course no one can use for "real email" anymore.
    iCloud on my phone is attempting to use my @mac address for outgoing messages!!!! ARGH!
    WORSE is you can not edit this! You can click and see details, change the "name" but you can not change the address!
    I think this might be the issue for all of us on this thread - check it out and see. If so it's something we will def. have to have a fix from apple for. :-( That or perhaps delete your iCloud account, your existing Apple ID and get a new @me Apple ID that will work for email as well. (PITA!) I hope we get a fix from Apple.

  • ICloud email account not showing

    I think that happened after I assigned gmail as a default email account my icloud ( @me.com) disappeared from mailboxes. How do I get it back as a second email account?

    If you go to "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" is the iCloud account still listed and does it have mail turned on?
    If not, add it back or turn mail on, respetively.
    If it is still there and has mail active, your Mail app may be looking at only the one inbox instead of the unified inbox. If so, use the left-facing arrow button in the upper left corner (bearing the name of the account) to return to the list of mailboxes and choose "All inboxes" instead of just the one.

  • When I go to settings and press "iCloud", appears-"account not verified".

    How can I verify my account?

    Check you email for a verification email, click the Verify Now link and sign in with your Apple ID & password.

    How to I make iCloud and outlook 2010 work?

    See the section on setting up your iCloud account in Outlook 2010 in this Apple support document.

    By the way, you posted this in the Apple Developer forums, when it probably should have gone in the iCloud forum.

  • HT204053 When I initially try to sign in to iCloud, I get the "Account not verified" screen and I am told to check my email for instructions to verify.  No email is ever sent. My ID and password work on all other Apple app's.  Why not for iCloud?

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • Under the iCloud portion of settings on my iPhone, I have always gotten the message "account not verified". The email matches and is in fact the same for my accounts on iCloud and iTunes. Has anyone had this problem, and how have they resolved it?

  • Icloud: i would like to enable it but I get 'Account not verified', when I check my emails there is no email to verify it

    It could be that the site is trying to determine your location to enable downloading from nearest to your location. So sometimes the download confirmation box may take some time to appear.

  • Not receiving icloud verification email, have checked spam etc..phone is just saying account not verified, the address was linked to my husbands account but has been removed.

    Not receiving icloud verification email, have checked spam etc..phone is just saying account not verified, the address was linked to my husbands account but has been removed, prior to this it was saying it was already in use.
    If i change to an old address it works fine but all my apple equipment uses a current googlemail address and dont want numerous ids
    My itunes account/icloud account only shows this address, albeit on icloud its not verified
    My husbands accounts dont have this address anywhere
    Where is the verification mail going????

    All...sorted so thought i owed it to you all to update...
    As suggested on numerous sites it was in my spam folder....but because i am using googlemail it was in the Googlemail Spam on my phone and online google account, the spam wasnt getting to my outlook account (where i was looking for it!!!)
    As soon as i opened it there they were all 38 verification emails !!!!!
    Hope this helps
