Okay, just updated to IOS6....icloud says i need to verify my account..

Question

Okay, just updated to IOS6 on my Ipad 2....
Icloud in says preferences tells me that i need to verify my account to be able to use it ..
It shows me that there has been an e.mail with details of how to verify my account , however even though the correct e.mail address is shown, no e.mail has arrived .
So, I logged onto my Mac Book Pro, and went to preferences , and logged out of Icloud . As nothing as drastic as the complete rebuild of the OS had changed on the MBPro ( sure it was updated ,but thats not like a completely new OS ) I would test whether this would work on the Mac Book Pro ( running the latest version of Mountain Lion ) before trying it on the Ipad.
So, after logging off my Icloud account on the MBPro, and trying to log back on ...guess what ...I need to verify my account before i can log back on , and a mail has been sent ....
Of course, even though again the e.mail address shown is correct ,  no mails have arrived anywhere near me !
Anyone have any ideas on how i get to use my Icloud account ?

Answer 1

Same problem here, too, and I have email I must get to today!  I can't check it until my account is verified.
I keep trying to verify my icloud account through my settings, but it just keeps telling me to check my alternate email address... but there's nothing there from apple.  It's been almost 24 hours now, no email....  Updating with ios is always a pain like this, you would think they would have better user experience with such a pricey product.  Lame, Apple, lame. 
I'm planning my wedding with this email address, and now can't check my email!
