TS3988 How can I Verify My iCloud Account when my Apple ID is no longer tied to a valid email address?

The Apple ID I set up originally was (stupidly!) my email address for a company that no longer exists.  iCloud will only send a verification email to that email address, so I can't verify my account and access iCloud.  Is there a work-around for this?  Thanks

Verification mail is sent to your alternate address, make sure you have set one up.

  • How can I verify my iCloud account when my email account was deleted?

    Hello,
    I would like to know how to verify my iCloud account after it being "not verified".Also, my previous email was deleted and it asks me to check my email in order to verify the iCloud account. I am worried that if I delete my iCloud account and create a new one, all my data will be wiped out and I will not be able to transfer important data among multiple devices.
    Please find a solution for this problem,
    Thank you!

    But I can't complete the verification because it asks me to check my email (which was deleted)
    But I have an idea! Do you suppose I can reset my iPod touch to default>Have all my data on iTunes/folders>Set iPod touch as a new device> Create a new account with my fresh email>Connect to iTunes>Back up!
    Reply if you think this would work so I can actually do it
    Thank you

  • How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

    How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
    You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password.  I feel like I'm going in circles!!!  Please help!!!

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I verify my iCloud account when the email address apple wants to send the instructions to no longer exists?

    How do I verify my iCloud account when the email address Apple wants to send the instructions to doesn't exist?  I know I need to change the email account associated with iCloud but there doesn't seem to be a way to do so.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 

    Did you create an entirely new ID or did you just change the Gmail address to a new email address on your existing ID?

  • How can I verify my iCloud account via email, when I can't access my icloud email without verifying my account?

    I have setup a new cloud ID.
    I now need to verify my account via email.
    How can I do this when I can't access my iCloud email without verifying account?

    Did you click the Verify Now link in the verification email from Apple (see image below)?  If not, make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  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.

  • How do i verify my icloud account when the verification email is no longer active anymore?

    so before on my email i had used for my itunes and icloud account i had been recieving too much spam mail so i completely deleted the gmail account and made a new one. i am trying to change the itunes and icloud account to the new email but i cant because it keeps saying "please verify your icloud account by checking the email apple sent to you" but the problem is that that email is disabled therefor, no verification...
    i tried just deleting the whole icloud account but it then deleted my notes and other things along with it and i have to keep restoring my old back up in order to have all my information again.
    How can i fix this so i can keep all my notes and just change the account?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The iPhone 3G can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1, and iCloud requires iOS 5 or later, so you can't use iCloud with the iPhone 3G

  • How can I verify my iCloud account if I can not access the primary email account associated with my Apple ID?

    The email address I had set for my Apple ID when I had originally signed up was through my college.  I have been out of college now for a few years and the email account has been deleted. I was trying to set up iCloud on my iPad and iPhone but it says I need to access the account to verify through email.  I have tried to change my Apple ID email to my current email address but it tells me I can not do this either because that email is set up as my rescue email.  How can I change my primary email address for my Apple ID or get my iCloud verified in this situation I'm in?

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your account'. You will be able to change the non-Apple email address you use as a login. You will then need to log out and in again on all your devices.

  • TS3988 How can I change my iCloud account and password? If I delete the account, I do not want all info deleted.

    I want to change my iCloud account and password without losing info that has been backed up.

    Your iCloud account ID and password are the AppleID and password you used when you created the account.  As fromsouth says, change the password for the AppleID and you've changed it for your iCloud login.  You can also change the primary email address of that AppleID if you need to.

  • How can you verify your icloud account if you entered an incorrect email account as your icloud id, and thus can't receive a verification email?

    I set up an icloud account using my itunes ID as my icloud user name, and now I have a major problem. My itunes id is six years old, and it's an email address that I just found out is no longer valid (an old netscape address).  If someone tries to send an email to this old netscape address, the delivery fails. So when Apple tries to send my icloud verification message to this old netscape address, I never get the verificaton message, and thus i can't sign on to icloud.  Can anyone help?

  • How can I delete my iCloud account when I have changed my Apple ID and cannot now sign out as do not have the original Apple ID and password.

    I am unable to delete my iCloud account from my device. This is because I recently changed my Apple ID email/ username which now means when I try to delete my iCloud account to log back in with my new Apple ID I am unable to as it requests my old Apple ID username and password which no longer exist. i am on IOS 8.1. Can someone help me find a solution to this?

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How can I verify my iTunes account when the link doesn't appear in the email?

    I updated my iPhone with the latest update, and my iTunes account now has to be verified. I've resent the email to myself about ten times, but the link will not appear. I can't use iCloud and I can't redeem iTunes cards to purchase songs. I'm not sure what to do.

    You can verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
    If that doesn't help, try this...
    Launch iTunes on your computer
    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer, restart your iPhone.
    Go to the iTunes store on your computer then click Redeem under Quick Links right side of the window.
    See if you can redeem a gift card.
