Why can't I use my password to verify my email?

I am trying to update my email on my Apple account. I successfully did this, but I could not switch the account on my iPhone because I needed to sign in, and my Apple ID changed because I updated the email. The settings for iPhone don't allow the user to change the account used (I don't understand why this is the case, and seems like a design flaw), so I had to change my email to the old email so that I can delete that iCloud account from my phone and start fresh with a new updated email. 
Now, when I've changed to my old email, I need to verify it. Even though I know what my password is, every time I try to verify the email, it says I have an incorrect Apple ID or password. I have tried using old passwords, and my current one (which works because I can sign into my account online), and I have tried multiple Apple ID possibilities, but without success.
I'd appreciate if I could have help with the verification process so that I can update my email. Thank you.

What computer? What OS version?
Can you login? Are you logged in? Are you using an admin account? What application is looking for a password?

  • Why can't I use iCloud it keeps saying my email not verified  .... ,,,?

    Why can't I use iCloud it keeps saying my email not verified but even tho I changed email in appleid.com and have signed into this forum with exactly same details it keeps telling me it's wrong .... Sooooooooo very very stressful

    You have to respond to the verification email that Apple sends you by clicking on the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check 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.

  • Why can't I use the password I want?

    Skype's password policy is pretty much forcing me to use a password that is not as secure as I'd like. From repeated attempts to enter a variant of a password that http://howsecureismypassword.net/ reports would take "About 297 quintillion years" to be cracked by a desktop PC, I've been told that the password is
    a) too long - Unless you're incredibly concerned about storing a few extra bytes... too long? O_o
    b) does not contain a number - for a password as secure as the one that I'd like to use, I really don't think it needs a number.
    I'm trying to use a system whereby I can re-generate passwords for a site quickly and easily without re-using passwords, but backwards policies like this are keeping me using my old, repeated passwords that are far less secure. Is there any chance that this can be changed? At least remove the length cap?
    (I know that 20 characters and one number generates a very strong password. This is not what I'm concerned about - what I'm concerned about is that a user really should be able to not worry about weird password rules that vary from site to site so that they can use a method that universally works and generates strong passwords)

    You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the Using iPad forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • Why can't I use my password as admin?

    I cannot type in my password in the space provided to do any maintenance.
    The software just doesn't respond unless I type {]]]\\\\\\\ which, of course are not in the password.
    I cannot change my password as ADMIN for the same reason.
    It will not allow me to type in the space provided. The keyboard seems turned off.
    Can anyone help me?

    What computer? What OS version?
    Can you login? Are you logged in? Are you using an admin account? What application is looking for a password?

    You help me out a lot!  Thank you

    If you're asking why you can't verifiy your email account, you do this by clicking the Verify Now link in the email that Apple sent to you.  Make sure you check 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.

  • Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.

  • Password - why can't adminstrators access customer password

    I am a system adminstrator for two sites and I am becoming increasingly frustrated at the inability to access customer passwords.  I have a number of custoemrs who regularly forget their passwords who are not particularly computer savvy and I am not able to help them without a lot of phone/email support.  Whereas under the previous system I could communicate their password to them saving both of us a great deal of time and energy.
    I am very aware that BC changed the system to deny access to passwords for all but the customer but this for my sites is ridiculous.  I have access to all info that my customers have and I can 'change/update' any customer info on my site so why can I not access their password.
    This is extremely frustrating as the current process assumes computer literate users and that the system 'Forgotten Password' tokens work - the latter is not always the case and I have  a current support request to this effect.
    I would appreciate someone who knows the system well to explain to me the rationale behinds BC's change to password access adn what is the reality re how this enhances cuntomer security when the systems administrator has access to all that customers data.
    Richard

    Hey Richard. I think you miss understand here.
    Most secure systems - no password in the admin. You have the button in the admin to send a email for the reset request. This will also show (if you sort the site correctly) on the form they use to login.
    Both use the reset email and again, ensuring that is set up correct is something you have access to and ensure has the elements and worded as you need them to be.
    If people keep forgetting their password that to be quite frank it is their problem, why should a system become less secure because of this?
    Do good systems do this? No , should they change? heck no.
    Set up the processes to so the flow is easy to reset (which you have control over) and if they keep forgetting then they need to change them to something they wont forget.
    Are you going to contact Apple and their Itunes store and ask them for your password? They wont know and not provide it to you, they do not know as it is in encrypted.
    Like any systems you may also be aware of they say "No customer support respresentitive will ask for your pasword or provide you with your password". Etc.
    This will not change.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.
