Not receiving a verification e-mail

Hello! I recently got a new MacBook Pro w/ Retina display and am trying to set up my iCloud account with the device. When I put in my password in through iCloud in the settings, it tells me that a verification e-mail has been sent to me. I have tried resending it a dozen times and I keep checking my e-mail but nothing is coming through. I have no idea what else to try? Hopefully someone can help? Thank you!

Make sure you check the primary email address associated with the ID, and that you check both the inbox and junk/spam folders. If it isn't there, you may need to contact the email provider to make sure they aren't blocking messages from [email protected] There's more details on troubleshooting this issue here: If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email.

Not receiving the verification e-mail from Apple

I wonder if anyone can help me. For some reason, I never receive the verification e-mail for my Apple ID, I receive other e-mails from Apple OK but not the verification one, which means that I cannot set up Facetime on my iPad.
Any suggestions how to get past this please ?
Thanks in advance

Not receiving iCloud verification e-mail

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a new iPad Air2 and the only problem I'm having is setting up my iCloud account. I set up the username/password but when I request a verification e-mail it doesn't arrive. I've checked my junk/spam mail folders and I've been receiving other emails from Apple, so I know it's not a communication issue. The requests were done through icloud.com, over the iPad settings, and through the iCloud client I downloaded onto my computer. Is there a way to fix this situation? Thanks!

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account and that the account can receive email. 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 it never arrives, try contacting the Apple account security team for your country and ask for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. The call should be free. If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

I have one appleid which is [email protected] and I have used this for a long time. Used to have mobile me which worked fine.
Thanks for your help

If you're not receiving the email to your rescue email address (and you've checked the spam folder on the account as well as the inbox and tried clicking the reset link again), then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

Try checking your spam or junk mail folders.
Try logging into https://appleid.apple.com/
Are you able to login or recover information using the forgot account link?

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

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account

I am not receiving the verification email when trying to add an email account to facetime and iMessage. Is there something else I can do?

Hi,
I don't ever remember getting an email when Adding an account.
Apple seems to verify it some other way (a self test to see if it is valid ? an actual email ?)
I tried adding an older @mac.com account that is not a valid email (gained when MobileMe was the Apple service and the @Mac.com registration was used for iChat names).
I then tried to add a Yahoo one.
This got past the first part and said an email has been sent.
As you say this has never arrived.
( checked the web Site for Yahoo Mail as well as my Mail App.)
In each case I also checked the Spam and Junk folders in both places.
I then tried an iCloud ID.
(FaceTime seems to treat the Original Apple ID and the iCloud issued email as separate IDs)
I did not get and email (Although it said it was sent) I did get a Pop up for the FaceTime app asking if I wanted to add an email and a second for the actual email itself. (It turned out it added an @me.com email also issued by iCloud before the @icloud.com was issued.
This is much the way iMessages adds emails when you add the emails to an iPhone, the Mac version gets pop ups.
I recently had something similar in Messages that might be related.
In Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) it seemed it could be any Apple ID that was used.
In Messages 8 it seems this has to be an iCloud linked one.
The @mac.com one I used above could not be added to iMessages either when I tried it about two months ago.
It might be one I have removed the creating/Recovery email so that i could create another Apple ID.
The name continues to work in Messages as an AIM valid screen name but I could not add it as the iMessages account and got sent to iCloud to "register" it but ran into problems that I have not sorted out yet.
EDIT.
Checked the Apple ID site and the @mac.com email I used has no linked Alternative/recovery email.

I'm not receiving my verification email to verify Apple ID. How do I get it?

I guess this isn't a Mac book technical question but maybe someone can help me out. I'm trying to set up Icloud and it's asking me for my apple ID username and password which I know is correct. It then says that an email is being sent to verify but the email never comes. It is definately the right email adress because I just recieved an email today from Apple. Any suggestions?

I'm also not receiving email verification's from apple , so are not able to download any apps or access accounts ,obviously i'm not the only one with this problem, so come on apple get it sorted as it is really frustrating
and it seams to be a problem on your side.

I either do not receive a verification email while trying to set up (despite requesting it) or, on the one occasion I did, there is nowhere/no link to verify

I either do not receive a verification email while trying to set up (despite requesting it) or, on the one occasion I did, there is nowhere/no link to verify-what do I do about this?

log in to appleid.apple.com make sure your email is verified.if not, send yourself a link. if you are using AOL, sometimes you wont get it.
check your spam folders also.

I am trying to create my Apple ID, but not receiving the verification link from Apple,. I get the email but NOT the link,. I have triple checked my email address and all Apple account info, all of which are correct. Any suggestions?

Where are you trying to create it?
Go to appleid.apple.com and create it there. Type the country name in the space and a dropdown should appear. Nigeria is clearly available there.

Check your email account's SPAM folder - I use YahooMail and theirs is VERY effective, but sometimes thinks legitimate emails qualify - SOME Apple emails are often affected

Why am I not receiving ALL my e-mail in Ipad. I get it on PC and blackberry

why am i not receiving all my e-mails on ipad2? I get them on my blackerry and on my pc.

I believe most PC mail programs by default are set to delete messages from the server once they are downloaded onto the PC. So if you access your email on your PC before your iPad checks for email some messages won't be there. To minimize this make sure you have Push set to on and Fetch set a short time limit (not Manual).

I have not received my verification email for my Apple ID.

I have not received my verification email for my Apple ID.
I have waited a couple of days, re-checked email, re-checked network connection and checked spam folder still nothing.
I can receive apple emails when resetting password, Apple support etc, why can't I receive the verification one?
Help would be appreciated, thank you

Try requesting that it be sent again by logging into your account on http://appleid.apple.com - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
