No verification email for iCloud ... what do I do?!

I tried to set up iCloud for my iPad2 and iPhone3GS when I updated to the new IOS software. It said I needed to go through a link sent to my email to verify the account but I have never received one! Or how do I get it to send again? Whenever I open iCloud in settings on either my iPhone or iPad it just closes the settings app. I've closed all other open apps so it can't be that :/

I have the same problem since upgrading with iOS5 (and iOS5.1).  Never rec'd any verification mail either activated from my iPad, iPod Touch or PC.  There is nothing wrong with my email nor Apple ID.  Any hints to proceed?
Thanks.

  • Cannot receive verification email for iCloud

    I cannot get the verification email for icloud. does anyone have any ideas apple dont appear to.....

    The email should be sent to the primary email address you used when setting up the Apple ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.  If you aren't sure what email address that is check on My Apple ID.  Be sure to check both your inbox and your spam/junk folder.  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.
    If you have attempted to resend the verification email multiple times and it still hasn't arrived, try contacting iTunes store support here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They deal with Apple ID issues all the time and can probably help you with this.
    You can check to see if you have a different ID by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, but the verification email should be sent to the email address associated with the ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.

  • Haven't received verification email for iCloud

    My email for iCloud still says verifying. But I haven't received an email yet either.

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you 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.  More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5404.

  • I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation.  It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address.  It says its in use.

    Hi Guys
    I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine.  To understand my issue let me explain how it started.  My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected]  when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account.  This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated.  [email protected] is the correct email address and works.  A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
    I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud.  this did not send the mail.  I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
    I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected]  it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active.  However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID. 
    I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
    I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
    I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
    any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • No verification email for iCloud

    When I attempt to set up iCloud with my email, I get to the point where a verification email is supposed to be sent.  It doesn't get sent.  When I use the troubleshooting page to check if I have an appleID, an email IS sent to the same email where the verification email is supposed to be sent, asking if I want to change my password.  Changing the password does not help.
    I have an appleID that I use for my developer account.  Because it is not in 'email format' it does not qualify for iCloud. 
    Any ideas? I would not like to create a new appleID as I want to keep all of my purchases previously made in iTunes.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried asking for another email to be sent at My Apple ID

    You do not need to download anything, you simply needed to have enabled "Find my iPod" before losing it.

    explain the crash... perhaps recovery might be more useful than new settings.

  • Verfication email for icloud

    I have resent the verification email for icloud account multiple times but it never arrives. Very frustrating. Has anyone got any ideas?

    Be sure you are checking the email account that you used when setting up your iCloud ID.  Be sure to check both the inbox and your spam/junk folder.
    If it isn't there, and you've already tried resending it, all you can do is wait it out.

  • I do not receive verification email for changing my iCloud email address

    i would like to change my iCloud email address e.g.   change from: [email protected], to: [email protected]
    I do not receive verification email for changing my iCloud email address, even though it says verification email sent.
    I also tried the "forgot apple ID" option to change it that way, i received an email but it was for resetting my password.
    is there anyway i can change it?
