  • 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.

    Did you try starting all over again to see if you can start from scratch now?

  • I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
    "Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
    My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
    Help???
    Regards
    Brian

    If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click  Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address.  Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link.  Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

  • When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

    When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

  • Your apple ID (email address) cannot be used to set up imessage at this time

    My iMessage recently stopped working. When I attempt to log back in it tells me "your apple ID (email address) cannot be used to set up imessage at this time" then gives me a code to share with Apple support. (See screen shot). Any suggestions?

    There is no official public documentation of that error message as far as I know, but according to reports, it can mean (at least sometimes) that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a free service.
    Otherwise, do what the error message tells you to do.

    You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock.  Where did you get this phone?

  • Email address cannot be used for iMessage

    Just set up an icloud email address for my daughter. I want her to be able to use that icloud email address to send iMessages to me or her mother using our iPads and iPhones.
    I set up the icloud email address for her with no problem and am able to e-mail her with it and she is able to send emails back to me with it.
    Went into Settings>Messages>Add Another Email.  I typed in the icloud email address I set up for her and received the following error message:
    "This email address cannot be used for iMessage."
    I do not know why I received this error message.  The icloud email account was set up. 
    I also went into the Messages app on my phone and sent a iMessage to the iCloud e-mail account and received a response that the message was delivered and Read! 
    If anyone has dealt with this issue before, please let me know what you think.  Thank you!
    Joe

    So if I'm reading this right, you cannot assign multiple Apple IDs to iMessage on the same device?  You have to log out of the first in order to use the second?
    If this is true, does this work device to device?  In other words, if she has access to an iPad and an iPhone, could you allow the iPhone to message and FaceTime through my daugther's new icloud email while the iPhone is still assigned to her mother's e-mail?
    Or, is there a way to allow multiple apple IDs to iMessage and FaceTime on a sinle device WITHOUT having to disable one?
    Thanks for the previous fast response and the future help.

  • How do I do this. Users without FormsCentral accounts or accounts with unverified email addresses cannot receive email notifications. No notifications will be sent until the accounts are created and verified.

  • Recovery email address cannot be my email address?

    So, iTunes is asking me to enter a "Rescue Email Address", which will be used to send me instructions should security issues arise.  Fine.  I enter my email address, and it gives me the error saying my rescure email address cannot be my email address.
    Uh... what?!
    How the heck am I supposed to use the recovery email feature if my recovery email address cannot be my email address?  I'm supposed to have password recovery info sent to someone else and have them forward it to me?!
    Oh, and it won't let me actually buy anything or even download anything for free from iTunes until I set this up.  Great.  I used to love using the iTunes Store, but alas, I'm locked out now, until I figure how to enter my email address without entering my email address.  I'll do that once I have both tea and no tea...

    Ah, good, I found a work-around.  Since I use a Gmail address, and Gmail treats "thisthat" and "this.that" as the same email address, I was able to fool iTunes into thinking my email address was not my email address, and this allowed it to accept it as my email address.
    This is the most spectacularly stupid requirement for a rescue email address I've ever heard of, but at least I can use iTunes again...

  • HT204053 I changed my Apple ID (email address) to a new Apple ID (email address), but my iPhone is asking for my password on my old email address which has been discontinued, now I can not get into iCloud or add Apps because the old email and password do

    I recently changed my Apple ID (to my new email address), but my iPhones are still showing my old Apple ID and are asking for my old password.  It no longer exists and now I can not add any Apps or get into iCloud because they previous ID no longer exists but that is what is popping up in Apple ID box and I cannot change it on the phone.  How do I get my new Apple ID assigned to my phone(s)?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's iCloud that is asking for these details:
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.
    If it's iTunes asking for these details:
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • HT5621 how can i unlink an iphone from its previous users email so i can turn it on to my own email address, also i cant get in contact with the previous owner

    how can i unlink an iphone from its previous users email so i can turn it on to my own email address, also i cant get in contact with the previous owner

    If you are referring to Activation Lock, the password for the Apple ID signed into the device is required, there is no way around this.  If you do not have the information and cannot contact the previous owner, the device is useless.

  • My husband just got an iphone. I've had mine for a while.  We use the same email address so I though we could use the same apple id and password.  But now it appears everything on my phone also shows up on his phone and vis versa, even "Notes."  Not good.
