Trouble with Apple ID verification e-mail

I am wanting to set up the "Track my IPhone" app and add a second Mac to my devices in Icloud, but it keeps telling me to verify my account. I have sent the verifcation e-mail about 10 times now and each time when it says "Verify Now>" there is no link for me to click on. Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it? Any help would be appreciated.

There's a way to retrieve your email verification link if this happens to you:
1. Open the the blank email
2. Hit ctrl+U- this will bring up the source code for the original email. Even though you cant see it showing up its still there.
3. Scroll down towards the bottom of the source code to line 524-
4. Slowly scroll to right and you will see the "Dear *Your Name*
5. On line 525 a bit to the left of that you will see : "You recently initiated a password reset for your Apple ID. To complete the process, click the link below. "
6. The link is on line 526 and begins with <a href="https://iforgot.apple.com/verify/ema- etc.
7. Copy that link into a new internet window and hit enter- *Do Not Click the Link*
This should allow you to get to the reset password screen and finish the process. As long as it is still in the time frame from when the email was sent. I think 1hour.  This worked for me, I was using a pc at the time though, didn't try it on a mac. Let me know if this helps you. Apple let me know if I can have a job!

    How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts?  I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

    Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

  • TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

  • Hello, I have trouble with apple Mail 7 in Maverick.

    Hello! I have trouble with Apple Mail 7 in Maverick. I use account type = Exchange. The proble m is that I keep loosing email in my inbox and also in my sent box. They then have to be rebuilt, and because I have lots of emails in the server, it takes several days to rebuild. This never happened in the previous version of apple mail that I used (snow leopard). Any suggestions to fix this problem? Thanks

    Cant get help with this issue on Apple Support, so I have to go to the Apple store to the Genius Bar to get assistance.  All the help issues are so technical in their jargon, that I cannot understand how to fix the issue.

  • Having trouble with apple tv device!!

    Having trouble with my apple tv device. Bought just before Christmas so practically brand new. Only used about 6 times. When I went to turn on today the light on the box is flashing and its asking to connect my hdmi cable to what looks like an itunes icon. Ive checked the hdmi cable in the skybox and its working perfectly. any thoughts????

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
        1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
        2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
        3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
        4.    Open iTunes.
        5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • Having trouble with apple tv it will not respond to commands

    I cannot get my apple tv to respond to commands. I've turned it off repeatedly and thought maybe it was my harmony remote that controls all of my devices but I tried the apple tv remote and it doesn't respond to that either.  Anybody else having trouble with this?

    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • Trouble with Apple Mail retrieving Yahoo Mail (OS 10.10-Yosemite)

    I recently installed Yosemite and Apple/Mac Mail will not work or retrieve my yahoo mail. I can receive my gmail just fine. I've checked all of my settings, used the "mail doctor", taken the account offline and then online again, rebuilt the mailbox and tried to synchronize the account. Nothing seems to work. Oddly enough the program seems to work intermittently (it worked for a few days when I first installed Yosemite then stopped retrieving my yahoo mail and again randomly over this past weekend, but is now back to not pulling any yahoo email). I can read my yahoo emails online just fine, fyi. I would love it if anyone had any suggestions.
    PS: I've also downloaded another mail client, called Postbox, which retrieves my yahoo mail just fine, but the program is severely limited and very quirky (search function doesn't work well, difficult to view and arrange your email without it having problems, etc.).

    jgallag/Larry:
    I, too, have been having this problem with yahoo mail not loading into mac mail.  It has been a persistent problem that I have had to close my mail program and reopen to get emails to come in - this was way before yosemite.  But after upgrading to yosemite, I've had more troubling issues.  I have 2 yahoo mail accounts, a primary account and a special use account.  Right after loading the new upgrade, the special use account was unable to send emails via mac mail.  I could send them from the yahoo server online, and from my iphone, but not from my laptop (mac air).  Two days ago, emails stopped loading into the mac mail program primary yahoo account.  I could send emails, but I could not receive them.  I tried all of the things you also did and suggested, to no avail.  I have found that shutting the system down and rebooting was enough in the past to "wake up" the yahoo account/mac mail account interface, but not this time.  This time, it took moving the laptop to another state and another server to refresh the connection and permit emails to load (I headed out for a business trip today, and emails came in when I reached the hotel).  I did not turn off my computer, just put it in sleep mode during the flight, but apparently a change of scenery is what it wanted.  It would be nice if Larry or someone could either fix this problem or help us navigate through it more efficiently - two days is too long to not load any emails. 

  • Trouble with Apple Mail

    Hello,
    I have Gmail account and a couple of days ago, I tried to send an email via Apple mail. E-mail size was too big so I couldn't send it. Afterwards, it created 'recovered message file' into the apple mail. Since then, gmail cannot connect Apple mail anymore and I cannot check my email via Apple mail. Could you please inform me how to solve this problem? or is it possible to delete and import again my gmail mail account into the Apple mail?
    Thank you

    Sure. Just hit the "-" button under accounts in the preferences window in Mail.app to delete your gmail account. Then quit out of Mail.app, restart it, and try creating your gmail account again. Help on how to create IMAP account for gmail is available online via the help section of the gmail.com web site.

  • Not able to edit Yahoo Mail address book. Okay with Apple Safari's Yahoo Mail but not with Firefox's,

    Editing a contact in Yahoo Mail it always just "hangs" (doing nothing) when I am using Firefox. Editing the same account using Apple's Safari browser went through without any problem. It seems that Firefox interface with Yahoo caused this.

    Just found the answer (it's a reported bug) and a likely solution!
    Instead of dragging the group over to the 'To' box in a new email, the suggestion was to just start typing the name of the group. So far it seems to be working!!!

  • Trouble with Apple ID and iCloud's "Back to My Mac"

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. The first time I turn my Mac on, the System Preferences window opens on iCloud preferences. Everything seems sormal, except that the "Back to My Mac" option can't be activated because it asks me my password.
    The problem is that it asks me to enter the Apple ID password for an older Apple ID email instead of my current Apple ID email
    Some background: I used to have ([email protected]) as my Apple ID, but changed it to ([email protected]) some time ago. Back to My Mac is asking me the password for the oldemail@email Apple ID, which should not exist anymore
    I tried the "forgot" option, but no email is sent to neither [email protected] nor [email protected] and if i try the "answer security question", I enter my birth date, but it says its doesnt match te records...
    Thanks for your help!

  • Having trouble with Emails not sending on Mail application

    About 5 days ago I added two new email addresses to my MAC Mail settings.
    A day later I noticed that my emails for all 6 of my accounts that I had sent were all sitting in the Outbox and not being sent.
    These are with different hosting providers and I know it isn't a problem there and they are working fine from my mobile device. I can't seem to work out why this is happening and I'm not getting an error message when I try to send, they simply just sit in the outbox as if they aren't even trying to send.
    I'm sure it's something simple I've done but 5 days later I still can't seem to work it out! Help please.....

    Thanks for your quick reply - yes it is - I have fiddles with some of the settings but yes these are all correct for the appropriate servers....it totally has me stumped as I've never had this issue before
