ITunes repeatedly asks me to verify my email address

I changed my iTunes email over to my gmail account from a hotmail, and iTunes sent the verification email. I clicked the link, verified it, no problem.
I went to log into the iTunes store, and it says I have not verified my account. When I click OK to see how to verify it, it tells me that I have already done so. It's been looping like this for a week or so. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I've got $20 from a gift card on there and I don't want to loose it.
Any ideas?

after three emails to the express lane (another ridiculous name just like "genius" for the sad droids at the stores), only one of which garnered a response (an incorrect one, too), i rang the apple support line & got a really helpful support droid who contacted the folks responsible for the database & got them to fix my account while i waited. that solved my problem.
you'll probably have to do the same. good luck.

  • Have Apple asked me to verify my email address?

    I've received an email addressed to someone else asking me to verify my email address as a new rescue email, I'm guessing this is a scam?
    Dear Aaron Gardner,
    You recently added ***** as a new rescue email address for your Apple ID. To verify this email address belongs to you, click the link below and then sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Verify now >
    Why you received this email.
    Apple requests verification whenever an email address is added to an Apple ID. Your email address cannot be used without verification.
    If you didn’t make this change or if you believe an unauthorized person is attempting to access your account, you can reset your password by going to My Apple ID.
    Sincerely,
    Apple Support
    <Email Edited By Host>

    I would go with the presumption that it's phishing. Or at the very least, someone tried to do something with your account.
    I'd change the password on your Apple ID, but don't do anything via any link in that e-mail. Sign in via your iTunes and do it through a known good link (as in via the manage your ID part of iTunes)

  • HT2731 Instead of asking me to verify my email address i'm asked to contact i support. Anyone know why this might be?

    You are welcome...it is always good to ask about things like this...this phishing one has been taking many forms, verify, change info, all kinds of things you are asked to provide.

    Hi Jangelique34, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot verify your Apple ID. If you are not receiving the email to verify your Apple ID please refer to the attached article for information on how to resolve this situation. 
    If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
    Cheers,

  • ITunes isn't letting me verify my email address. Help!!?

    I just got an iPod Touch, so i wanted to make an iTunes account, right so once i got the email to verify my account, i clicked on the link.
    It says 1 moment please then after a few seconds it freezes. I've left for a while, still nothing.
    Also I used diff internet things- Safari and Internet Explorer.
    Still Nothing!!!
    What should I do?!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
              /var/log ▹ install.log
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen. The contents of the log will appear on the right. Each log message begins with a timestamp. Select the messages from the time of the last installation or update attempt. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again. Select the new messages that appear. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    ☞ If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    ☞ Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    ☞ Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. You may need to use a text editor with search and replace, such as TextEdit.

  • Apple asks me to verify my email address but when I do, I never receive a verification email

    Im trying to use my current Apple ID to set up my iCloud account on my iPad2, iPhone4 and both mac computers.  On the ipad, i go to settings>iCloud and enter my apple id and password.  It gives me a message telling me to verify my account.  So I log into my apple ID settings and click verify account, and I dont get a verification email..... any advice??

    Not sure who you isp is, but some have reported that the verification e mails are getting sidetracked into a spam filter.  Check there.

  • I can't download apps! iTunes store ask me to verify my account repeatedly?

    I am using iMac OSX 10.6.6 and the iTunes is up to date.
    I can't download any app after about 7 pm today, before the time I can download apps using my iMac, iPad, and iPhone. The iTunes Store ask me to verify my account and input my Security code repeatedly, I did and I am sure the code is correct. Then I tried to download again, iTunes Store ask me to verify again, again, and again.....infinite. Can someone tell me what is the problem?
    Am I hacked? Even if I don't get any apps purchased by others.
    Or, am I locked? I don't use a illegal or jailbroken ipad and iphone.
    Please help solve my problem!

  • Is it normal to receive emails asking to verify apple email address after upgrading to new iPhone 4s

    I recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone 4s. The phone works fine purchased things from iTunes, then received two emails asking to verify apple email address within a minute of each other, clinked on one link and verified my email and it told me my email was verified but I would have to go to settings to activate mobile me (don't know what that is but it not on my phone) have not clinked on second email. Is this normal.

    MobileMe is dead now.
    Sounds like phishing to me I would delete them
