Unable to verify email account for iCloud

I've created my iCloud account and now when I go to the iCloud option in settings I receive the "Account Not Verified" message. I don't remember ever receiving an email from Apple to verify my email address when I initially set up my iCloud account. Please help.

I think, I have the same situation as he is.  Where do we go to verify the activation e-mail for iCould?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account 
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How to set a new email account for iCloud?

    How set a new email account for iCloud?

    There are two separate things you can do.
    You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    Or if you want a completely separate account you will have to create a new iCloud account and sign into it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. Note that any one device can create only three iCloud accounts.

  • I have changed the email account for icloud but my sistem preferences windows is blocked on the previous email account

    I have changed the email account for icloud but the sistem preferences window is blocked on the previous email account and it does't work.
    The sistem preferences window doesn't accept no one passwords.

    You will need to sign out completely in System Preferences>iCloud (click the 'Sign Out' button) and sign back in again with the new ID.

  • When I bought my iPhone 5s I set up the email account for iCloud with a Shaw Cable address. Shaw was my ISP. I changed ISP's which rendered my iCloud email account as useless. I did reset my AppleID but it didn't change for iCloud. How can I change?

    Ok so now I right the novel. Haha.
    I bought my iPhone 5s and set up the AppleID for iCloud to be the same as the Apple ID I already used for iTunes and the App store. I was using @shaw.ca as part  of the emaill address. I changed my ISP to save money so had to change the Apple ID. I had no issues changing it for iTunes and the App store, but it wouldn't change for iCloud. I don't recall the password and can't have it sent to me as that address does not work any longer.
    What do I do to get my AppleID for iCloud working again?

    Yes, you understood correctly.  From your explanation, you created your hotmail.ca ID by revising the shaw.ca ID.  Given that, you should perform the steps listed in my original post:
    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 iDevice 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 goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 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).

  • My ipod is using an old email account for icloud the email no longer excists so i cant log in, what do i do?

    i am trying to reset my brothers ipod touch to factory settings and to delete all of the data so that we can sell the ipod, but we were originally using an old apple id account that now no longer exists, our email was with a company (optus) that we were using but we are not with optus anymore so that email no longer exists, we are now using gmail for our new apple id and there have been no troubles logging in with our new apple id, although we are trying to log into icloud on the ipod touch so that we can turn off 'find my ipod' so that we can restore the ipod, but its asking for the old apple id password which does not exist anymore, the email also does not exist so i cant reset the password or anything, what do i do? please help i have tried many things but nothing seems to work

    Then you will probably need to contact Apple for assistance resetting the password for the old ID by contacting the Apple account security team:  Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security, or by by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.  You can also get assistance by email by contacting iTunes store support:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • How do I "verify" my account for iCloud?

    I really cannot go past the stage of "verifying" my email address. It keeps prompting me for it, but I see no such email in my inbox. What's wrong?

    I have the same problem, it's driving me mad!

  • TS3988 i dont get a verified email on for iCloud

    i dont get a email what to do?

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  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.

  • HT204053 I verify my account for iclould  I hit next and it puts  me back to enter my apple ID, what should I do?

    I verify my account for icloud, I hit next and it puts me back to enter my accounts things, I rellly need help with this thanks!

    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    I cannot login into my inbox for Apple ID email so i am unable to verify my account, which means i can't use icloud or use the app store.

    For all Users...I just fixed mine and am now able to log on.
    Yesterday there was a Quick Time update to 7.3.1 that fixed a security issue that was allowing access to your computers. I thought that my auto update would install this and it didn't. I had to manually download from apple and install the update.

    I used the "with iTunes" version and now I can log into my account with out the "null" error appearing.
    This was pointed out to my by QuickDraw so he gets all of the credit.

    Thanks Rob.
    That was helpful.
    My question is: how do I register FaceTime with my primary email address, as it continues to fail registration.
    Having been informed your "primary email address... continues to fail registration", I don't know any way you will be able to use it to "register FaceTime."
    Try a different email address. If need be, create a separate iD that you will use only to activate FaceTime.
    Maybe the answer is: check primary address is verified in my Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    You may be right.
    That shows my primary address is used in verification of another account. But I am sure all my apple id's are not verified until today.
    So my next question is: how can my primary address have been verified for another account? How do I found that account.
    I do not know the answer to that question, and I don't think the answer would help you.
    Even if you knew how it was verified, you would still not be able to use it for FaceTime activation or your caller iD because the database has recorded it as already having been used for a different account.
    Unless you get a better suggestion, use a different email address with FaceTime.
