Why can't I use my icloud feature?

I cannot use my icloud feature?  It says I need to verify my email/password, but I've check my email and it tells me it's been verified.  Am I missing something?  I've been trying to use it for 3 days

Try going here: http://iforgot.apple.com/ and reset your password. It may help.

  • Why can't I use the landscape feature for iPhone 5? It only works in limited apps. I feel as though I wasted my money since I prefer to use my phone in landscape mode.

    Why can't I use the landscape feature in all of the apps? It seems like a waste of money since I prefer to use the landscape feature.

    It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

  • Why can I not use my icloud address as my apple ID?

    Why can I not use my icloud address as my apple ID?

    This answer is probably the most popular one on the forum.  But apparently, this is a view not shared by virtually anyone else in the industry.  You can pretty much point to the same risks at stake for Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, or what-have-you.  No one else requires you to use a primary account other than their own. 
    The predicament you mentioned could easily be resolved by requiring multiple contact numbers and addresses, which Apple kind of does already.
    My thinking is there's either something more 'sinister' at play, or Apple just haven't really took the time to think about this issue.

  • Why can't I use my icloud email for my apple ID?

    I want to get rid of my old email address and only use icloud but Apple ID says I cannot use my icloud email address. Why would they offer icloud email if a user cannot use it as their primary address?

    You can use iCloud as your primary email, just keep the other as a backup.
    It really isn't a good idea to rely on just one email address in case you get an unexpected problem, for example:

  • Why can't I use my iCloud Email Address as my Apple ID?

    Why won't Apple allow us to use their own @icloud.com domain for an Apple ID. This has upset me since the inception of MobileMe; it makes perfect sense that many people would prefer to use their iCloud email address as there Apple ID. We've all had MobileMe since day one, which is now iCloud; it's been several years, and I still can't do it. Having to frequently log in with an individual Apple ID & Individual iCloud account creates so much confusion, especially with my wife and parents. 
    I know this is an age old complaint, but it doesn't make it any less relevant. Is there a special way to change my existing Apple ID to my existing iCloud email address? If not, then why won't Apple allow it?
    Please don't refer me to this article Change your Apple ID.

  • HT1918 Why can't I use my icloud email address for my iTunes account

    Tired of the cox communications inability to imap emails, going to dump it completely want to use the icloud email address I have, why can't I change my apple id to that email address

    "Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
    This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
    I noticed the following :
    If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
    Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
    There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
    Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.
    Best wishes -

  • Why can't you use your iCloud email address for your Apple ID?

    Why can't an iCloud.com email address be used to create an Apple ID?  Is iCloud email not to be used as a primary email?

    You can if you create an new Apple ID at the time you create the iCloud account, and choose to create a new @icloud.com email address as your primary email address when creating the ID.  See Imp68's post here for an example of how you would do this on a Mac: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348.
    You could not use your existing @icloud.com email address as it is already an alias for your existing iCloud ID; you would have to create a new one.

  • Why can't I use my iCloud email as my Apple ID's primary email?

    I want to use my iCloud email as my primary email address so that I can recieve purchase receipts on this email without having to repurchase all my apps and have to juggle two IDs. Apple seems to not want to let me do this. Is there anything I can do? Setting my iCloud as a secondary email doesn't help.

  • HT1535 Why can't I use the browser feature to visually organize my iphone or ipad music when syncing?

    In the older versions of iTunes, you used to be able to use the column browser when organizing your iPhone or iPad media, in the same way you could when organizing your iTunes songs by viewing the genres, ablums, and artists either on top or on the side. But with the last few iTunes updates, I can no longer use the column broswer when I connect my iPhone or iPad. I find this quite inconvenient because I am constantly updating my music content and I like to see what artists, ablums, and songs I have on my device without scrolling down a long list of 2500+ songs. Any insight?

    Really. This is something that shouldn't even be happening.
    Apple, please enable iTunes to sort connected iPhone's libraries with the "column browser".
    Please.
    I'm asking nicely

  • HT5621 Why can't I use my iCloud email address as an Apple ID?

    I am totally bewildered! I have taken the plunge to leave Gmail, my primary email address and move to iCloud. The first thing I tried to do, was change my Apple ID email address. To my astonishment, while it allows gmail.com, it does not allow its own icloud.com. This means that I either, have to keep on with gmail as my primary address or create another one eg sky.com. What is going on? I simply want to migrate from gmail to icloud and Apple trip me up at the first fence. Any idea, what I can do? Why won't Apple, accept it's own email address?

    When you start from scratch you can create an @icloud.com address and use it as your ID, but though it seems illogical you can't do what you ask. I don't know whether this is a technical issue.
    However, I would suggest that having your published email address as your login is poor security. This used to be the case with MobileMe and there were quite a number of complaints from people who had found themselves locked out of their account because some idiot had tried to sign into their account several times without knowing the password. They then had to change the password in the ID and all their devices, and a couple of weeks later it would happen again.
    This sort of nonsense sometimes arose through mis-typing, and sometimes because some idiot would become convinced that he owned the address and would keep trying to log in with it.
    Of course, someone who knew your email address and felt malicious could render your account useless by keeping on doing this. I know all this sounds a bit extreme, and it is moderately unlikely, but these things do happen.
    For best security, I would suggest creating a new free address somewhere with a garbage username which can't be guessed and is unlikely to be arrived at by accident. I know it's less convenient that logging in with your @icloud.com address, but you might like to think about the security issue here.

  • Why can't we use the new feature..SIRI?  (on iphone 4)?

    Hello i'm Marcelo and i'm writing from Chile , i want to know that simple question.
    Because i updated my iphone 4 to the new ios5 , and i saw that feature wasn't included ..
    I think by my experiencie , i don't need a dual core CPU and a 7 times faster a graphic chip to have SIRIS..
    i hope an answe.. is just curiosity!..
    Bye.. GREETINGS FROM CHILE.

    I thought about this too, But after reading other people's post about Siri for the IPhone 4, Siri is still in Betaphase (supposely) and it is only availiable in the IPhone 4S. I heard that once the IPhone 4S has been released after a few months, Apple might update the software to have Siri be included with it. People says that the IPhone 4 is powerful enough to support siri on the hardware, but I guess apple wants people reactions towards siri first before releasing it with other software to other IPhone users.

  • Why can't I use the continuity feature on ipad 2?

    I personally think continuity feature should be available to each and everyone of apple products that are iOS 8.1 compatible.

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Tell Apple. However given that there were parts of iOS7 that the iPad 2 couldn't get, I don't find it surprising that it doesn't get all of iOS8.

  • Why can't I use the Edit with Illustrator or Edit with Photoshop features in FrameMaker12?

    Why can't I use these features any more?
    I also can't use the Launch Photoshop or Launch Illustrator features. I use the Adobe Master Collection 6 for those products.
    Adobe Captivate is also grayed out.

    Unless you installed FM as part of TCS5, it's unlikely FM 12 knows the
    software locations and has tied into the other programs.
    Since you just installed, I'd call Adobe Support for help because they do
    free installation troubleshooting.
