Problem verifying mail address after creating new iTunes account
I was trying to create new iTunes account in UK store without credit card verification following Apple's guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534. After creation of new account, I tried to login with new credentials and got message that my email address is not verified. When I clicked OK to verify address, I got following message:
Your request could not be completed. Make sure your computer's date is set correct and that accepts cookies from the iTunes Music store.
Yes, time is correct and no problems with cookies. There is More Info that sends to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1459 which is completely unrelated to me. That page explains Windows problems, do have OSX, latest update.
Any idea what might be the problem ? TIA
Don't create a new account. Update your previous account with any new/changed info and contiune to use it.

When tried to download or update it showed"there is a problem in billing from previous purchased" changed to new payment account still unable to access. Created new itune account still cant access, keep showing old account detailed. & asked for verification. Pls assist. Thank you.
Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

Create new itunes account and transfer music on same computer
I started an itunes account on my home computer which my niece would use. When she got a computer at her house, she also downloaded itunes. Instead of creating her own account, she used my account name and password. I purchase itunes cards instead of having my credit card number on my account. After loading the funds, I would return later to make a purchase and would not have any money left. I didn't think it was possible for her to have access to my funds at her home, since anything we added/purchased was not accessible at the others home. The last time I added money, I made a point to keep up with how much I used as a test to see if she was able to use my account balance. I tried to make a purchase this weekend and only had $.62, so apparently she can use it. She now needs to open a new itunes account on her home computer. Can she easily open a new account and transfer all music to the new account with playlists? Sorry this is so long...Your help is appreciated!
She can (assuming she has a credit card, iTunes Music card or gift certificate) certainly open an account.
But tracks purchased under your iTMS account will remain under your account and cannot be transferred to another account. The tracks can be copied to her computer - see:
iTunes: How to copy music between authorized computers
Though it refers to iTMS purchased music, it applies to all her tracks. And if she happens to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
But her computer will have to be authorized to your account at least once for her system to be able to play the tracks she's already purchased. Once the system is authorized, you'll want to change your password to your iTMS account or she'll be able to continue to purchase using your account. -
$1 charged when create new itune Account, not refunded
Hi,
I have created a apple Itune Id for purchaging the store items. At the time of creating Apple iTune account i paid $1 (that is refunded Please correct if i am wrong).
But after a month i have not received this money back in to my account.Each time that you add or change credit card details on your account then you will receive a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - and yes, it should disappear off your account within a few days or so (it varies by bank) of it being applied (though each time that you change your or the card details on your account it might be applied again) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
You could contact your card issuer to ask why it's still on there (it's only a temporary authorisation charge so your card issuer should automatically remove it), and/or contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
New e-mail address, so created new apple id, iTunes store asks for password for old e-mail/apple id
There are lots of posts on this subject over the years about this problem but none of the solutions work for me.
Apple id problems go back many years, if they cant handle that, how do we trust them in security issues?
anyway, here is what it says.
Sign into iTunes store
Enter the Apple ID password for
"old e-mail address"
So I enter the password (same one as before, it works in Mail etc on the iPad, only a problem on iTunes store.
App updates would not work, but they finally did when I did a iPad reset and backup restore.
But the iTunes store apple id problem is still there.
I am a user of Apple since 1982, do not like where things are going, honestly, but they are the only game in town. Not a fan of overly automated system processes with no feeling of "transparency" in the way things happen these days.
Can anyone help? If not I will live with it, but..........this is not the old Apple any more.It may not be called Express lane any longer, but this is where you find it now: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
On your old email - Apple does not assume an email will not change. This is why they provide for recovery if you no longer have access to the email. In order for that to work however, you needed to have followed their recommendation and set up your security questions and/or provided a secondary email address. If you not longer have access, they you can try calling Apple and asking for the Account Security Team. If you can convince them you are who you say you are, they may be able to help reset your password.
Are you saying iTunes on your computer is updating all Apps? If so, I don't understand how. Apps purchased on your old Apple ID are able to be updated only using the Apple ID used to purchase or download them. If what you ar esaying is true, I suspect only thos apps tied to your new Apple ID are being checked and updated. If it is happening as you describe, your iPad is the one behaving as it should, not iTunes on your computer.
Please do not take offence to this but it still seems as if you don't understand how the Apple ID works, not just that you don't agree with it. I've refined my analogy a bit, so please bear with me. I am not trying to be condesending but I HAVE tried to made it as simple as possible for anyone else that may read this.
Imagine you buy a house. You have keys to the house and once inside, you buy all the funrniture you need - with one condition - because of some complicated distribution agreements with the furniture manufacturers, the seller mandates that the furniture you buy must be used only in that house.
Some day in the future, you lose the keys to your house so you buy the house next door with its own new set of keys. You go inside the new house and wonder where all your furniture has gone. Simply, you own both houses but
Upset at this situation, you try to recover your keys to your first house by asking the bank to mail them. You once had the chance to give the bank an alternate address to which they could mail keys but didn't so not they can only mail them to the first house. Since you can't get inside, you cannot retrieve the new keys that they send.
After getting some good advice, you decide to talk to visit the bank personally. You convince them you are the owner of house #1 and they give you a new set of keys. Yay!
You go back to house #1 and finally manage to get in. But, since house #2 is newer, you decide to live there. Now you want to move your furniture so you have a comfortable place to sit and sleep. Oops, you can't take the furniture from the old house because of your agreement with the Furniture seller so you have to buy new furniture.
House = Apple ID
Keys = Password
Furniture = Apps and other content purchased with the first Apple ID
Keys = Password
Alternate Address = Alternate Email Address
Furniture Seller = Apple
Furniture Makers = App Developers, Film and Music Rights Holders
You may not agree with this, but the fact is, Apple owns very little of the content they sell - basically only their own apps and iOS itself. Allowing merging of Apple IDs or transfering ownership of Apps from one Apple ID to another is a logistical nightmare and would create major issues with app developers, music and film rights holders and anyone else who provides content for sale through iTunes or the App Store.
You cannot compare a functioning iCloud with non-functioning iTunes and App Stores. iCloud doesn't care about your apps - it's about syncing and identification (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud services like Find My iDevice) only. So long as you are using the same Apple ID on each device, it will sync between them any supported content you decide. In fact you can use a different Apple ID for all there if you wanted. The key is to be CONSISTENT.
One additional thing we have not brought up already. If the iPad was activated with your original Apple ID and you ever need to restore it (not an uncommon possibility), you will run into a problem with Activation Lock. It's a security feature designed to discourage iDevice theft by rendering it useless if one tries to activate it using anything other than the Apple ID used to activate it originally.
Again, you may not agree with how it works, but I hope this finally makes sense and you at least understand how it works. -
Associate a previously verified e-mail address with a new iCloud account?
I've decided to start from scratch and create a new iCloud account, having previously used my old Apple ID for iCloud. Now I'd like to associate the extra e-mail addresses I'd verified with the old account with the new one.
I went to the Manage Apple ID settings for the old Apple ID/iCloud account and deleted all the alternate e-mail addresses. I went to the Facetime and Message settings on all my devices and deleted the extra e-mail addresses there too, before removing the old iCloud account from all devices. I then set them up with the new iCloud account.
I went to the Manage Apple ID settings for the new Apple ID/iCloud account and added the extra e-mail addresses I'd previously used with the old one. Two of the addresses worked (verification e-mails were sent) but one of them said "this is already verified with another Apple ID".
When I check the Manage page for the old Apple ID, that last extra e-mail address isn't listed. However, when I try to add it back it immediately reads as 'verified' without needing to send a verification e-mail.
There must be some latent association between the old Apple ID and that last extra e-mail address, a connection I still need to sever.

Please somebody can help me.
Thank you!Mailboxes are created only when they either receive mail for the first time or are accessed via IMAP the first time.

Can't create new iTunes account
I no longer have my previous email address that I used for my iTunes account so I tried to create a new account but it won't let me, it keeps telling me to set the computer's date correctly and to accept cookies from the iTunes Music Store. My computer's date is set correctly but how do I accept cookies from the Music Store?
Hi,
Creating an account of iTune has become a nightmare.I could create Apple ID and password account but whenever I log on to iTunes it says that 'this account has not been used before and review account status'. Then it gives me agreement in Arabic only with no option to change into English, then form to fill out card and mane address info, where it sometimes accepts my bank Mater Card sometimes does not. There is no option I see that says click if no card available as was told to me by my friend. If it accepts my card then says enter Postcode but I do no see any section to enter it at all and from this point I cannot proceed further. If I try to download Free applications using apple ID and password, it says Error 2001.
Is there any solution?
Thanks -
Unable to login as administrator after creating new standard account
Just got a nice new MBP form work today.
When logged in as the admin I created a new standard account for my personal use. I then shut down the laptop.
After booting up I am presented with a default icon, my standard use name, and a field to enter my password. I can login to this account fine. If I click on the arrow next to the username (this seems pretty poor UX - it annoyingly takes a while to appear, and how is a new user supposed to know what it is for? /vent), and then click on 'other' and enter my admin username and password, it is not accepted and the password field just shakes.
Am I missing something obvious?
Many thanks.@Frank Caggianoy
Yep, the Display login window is set to List of users. The password that has been set up is the passwsord I've been using for several months at work, so that cannot be the issue.
@nbar
When I set up the standard user account, there was definately an administrator account in the user list. I also installed some work related applications which are not present when logged in to the standard account.
I've got to say that these forums are very helpful - thanks for the suggestions. I'll speak to the person who set up everything tomorrow, and post back what the problem/solution was.
Cheers. -
Create new iTunes account without losing previously purchased content?
My husband and I both have iPhone's but currently share one iTunes account from which all music, apps, etc. have been purchased from. As time goes on, it is getting harder to manage; therefore we want to create a separate account. Is there a way to create a new Apple ID for his phone without losing the existing content that has already been purchased?
There is nothing that prevents having iTunes content that was downloaded with more than one Apple ID or iTunes account on one device.
She needs to register her computer with the new Apple ID with iTunes.
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID or iTunes account that was used to download the apps. This means in order to install an app update for an app that was downloaded with the existing Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password or she will be prompted for it when doing so.
iTunes on your computer allows for transferring iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iOS device. -
My friend created me an itunes store account with his credit card , his credit card is about to expire and they are asking me to re-enter the credit card and security card number .... I don't have these numbers ... How can i create new itunes account without credit card?????
Why do you need to create a new account?
Just change the payment method.

I created an iTunes account and finished by having a verification email sent out. I never got the email and when I get the note to resend it it won't let me tap on it and below it says, email address is already verified for another Apple ID
Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.

I have an older IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for seceral yeras. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new Itunes account?
Your email address (used as your Apple ID) does not matter, because iPods are not directly linked to a particular Apple ID.
NOTE: You can still use your old Apple ID, even if your that email address is no longer valid. As long as you remember your Apple ID password. Go here and click on Manage your Apple ID.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
You can change the primary email address used by Apple, although the Apple ID remains the same.
Back to the iPod. iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. After confirming everything is there, sync your iPod to that library. If there is any content purchased from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), such as audiobooks, videos, and very old song purchases, iTunes may prompt you to authorize your computer with your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases). -
