This is my first iPad and am having problems setting up apple ID message tells me ID is not verified - help, feel such a wimp!

This is my first I-product and I am having problems getting going. Can't buy apps as ID is not verified - I have tried but no luck, help!

When you sign up with an e mail address, apple will send an e mail to that address to verify it is really your, and that you are the one setting up whatever you are doing.  The same process happens if you change your e mail, or add an additional e mial.
So watch you in box in that e mail account for an e mail from apple.  You need to respond to it to confirm the set up.
If your provider has a spam filter, check in there.  Some aggresive spam filters block the apple e mail.
Lastly, some report that they never get the email, cannot respond, therefore cannot set up whatever they are trying to set up.  If that happens, try an alternate e mail address if you have one.

  • How do I get into my iPhoto app on my Mac.  It says it's locked and when I put in my apple password it tells me it is not valid and locks me out.

    How do I get into my if app?  It says it's locked and when I put i my apple password it tells me it is to valid and locks me out.  I tell it to repair it and it still doesn't work.  I never changed it and I assume it should be the same as my apple password.  Can some one please help me?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    what is the exact message? A screenshot of the message window would suffice.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • How do I go back a page on the Ipad mini? I do not see any arrows anywhere. Also when I go to my yahoo email account and open an email I can not find how to go back and log out. This is our first Ipad and it is very different frm android. Thanks

    We just purchased our first Ipad. It is a mini with retina display 16 GB. How do I go back a page? I see no arrows to page back. Also when I log into  a yahoo email account and open an email I see now way to log out? Thank you for any help

    In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
    In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
    As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email.  If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out.     The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
    If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I have the new iPad3 with Verizon.  I am constantly having problems trying to connect to 3G.  I had no problems like this with my older iPad and AT

    I have the new iPad3 with Verizon.  I am constantly having problems trying to connect to 3G.  I had no problems like this with my older iPad and AT&T as the carrier.  In fact, I find that if I cannot connect via Verizon, I can pick up my original iPad and connect right away !  Anyone else having this problem?

    I fixed the problem. Sorry apple for wondering if it was on your end.
    These are what helped me:

  • HT5569 I am having trouble connecting to my wifi.  I put in the password (the correct password) and it tells me that it is the wrong password.  I just purchased this iPad and cannot seem to get connected.  My laptop connects with a pin not a password.

    I just bought a iPad and am trying to set it up.  I have WiFi at my home but cannot get on with my iPad.  My laptop asks for a pin number to join and the iPad asks for a password.  I enter the correct password and it tells me that it is incorrect.  I have talked to my WiFi carrier and they tell me that they do not know what it could be.  Can someone please help me figure this out.

    connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
    pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
    here are some ideas
    go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
    get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
    if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
    also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
    if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
    look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
    if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again

  • I have the first ipad, and just purchaes applet tv, can i see my photos on the tv, i can not seem to find airplay app

    I have te first ipad, and recentrly purchased apple tv to see the internet , photos and all from my ipad on the tv, i have not founf the airplay app , can i download it r get it at the app store, can this be done? for the ipad one

    my issue probably not related to original poster
    I have an airport express
    it can stream audio.
    That is why the airplay icon shows up on the Videos,YouTube, and iPod apps
    I do need an ATV to get the airplay icon to show up on Photos.
    All of this is hinted at online but never written down.
    the pictures show a ATV screen or box, show Photos screen with icon
    but never say screen only looks this way with ATV available.
    And I fooled myself by having an airport express which put the icon on all the other applications.

  • TS4268 I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    I can't activate FaceTime & iMessage on my iPad ... Would this have anything to do with already having these set up on my iPhone with the same apple ID?

    As long as you're logged into the same AppleID on both devices, this is not a problem.  It's only a problem if you're logged into a different AppleID and then try to associate FaceTime with an email that tied to the other AppleID.

  • Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up.  the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

    Double click the home button (square)  and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
    Good luck hope it works.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • We recently purchased the iphone5 (2) and are having problems with sound coming thru the earbuds when we plug them in to the iphones.  works fine with the ipad.  help please

    recently purchased the iphone5 (2 of them) and are having problems with the earpods.  no sound when plugged in to the iphone.  both phones.  works with the ipad.  help please

    Hi P5052,
    Welcome to the Support Communities ... and congratulations on the purchase of your iPhone 5's!
    It is very unusual that neither phone is working with the new earpods. 
    Have you tried a different headphone just to see if the issue is with the earpods or the iPhones?
    The article below will give you the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
    Symptoms
    When someone calls, I can't hear them through the receiver or speaker phone, and I can't hear music through the speaker. I also can't be heard by someone who is calling me.
    Note: iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector. On iPhone 4 or later models, the speaker is to the right of the dock connector. On earlier iPhone models, the speaker is to the left of the dock connector.
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (chooseSettings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
    Hope this helps!
    - Judy

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

  • HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

    HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
    This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
    but got a 404 error...
    I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
    REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
    JM

    You should still disable this setting:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
    What is the value of the <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
    If you have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
