Why do I need to verify my email address?
As with any successful global Community, we are constantly at war with Spam. The people behind spam don't care that their spam is not welcome here. They simply want to get you to view their message. This small win is enough to justify their efforts in their mind.
Acer's effort to combat spam posts is already quite extensive but we are still cleaning up a lot of spam each and every day. As part of the effort to make it harder for Spammers, we are now forcing all members to verify their email address before they are allowed to post. This extra step not only ensures members are using their real email address but it also makes a spammer take the time to verify and in some cases this is enough to deter them.
I regret forcing legitimate members to jump through this hoop but if it helps us all enjoy a Community with less Spam, I think this small inconvenience is worth it.
If you have not yet verified your email address, you can do this in My Settings > Personal Profile > Email
Okay, got it!

Please help me!!
I dunno if this will work for you but I had the same issue today and had to redo what I did about two weeks ago.
I went to "Settings" then to "General" and scrolled all the way done to "Reset"
I didnt do a reset that erased data, just the ipad settings.
I had to re-enter all my wifi stuff but after trying to log back into facetime it worked fine.
It's a pain in the arse (second time I've had to do this in a couple of weeks) but it worked for me, Good Luck -
Why does my FaceTime say "the server has encountered an error processing your registration"? it happens every time i try to verify my email address.
While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use FaceTime. There's a FaceTime Support Community where everybody uses FaceTime. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/facetime_for_mac

Why can't FaceTime verify my email address on my Mac but it works fine on my iPhone?
I can receive and make facetime calls on my iphone but it won't work on my Macbook Pro. It used to work fine and I haven't changed my email address or password. It has now automatically logged my out and won't verify my email address to log me back in. Does anyone know how I can fix it?
chloel18,
I have been troubleshooting this issue myself for over 3 weeks now. I have looked through 20+ forums searching for answers. I know your pain. Here's what you need to do:
You need to call Apple. The problem is NOT on your end! I spoke with an Apple representative and they said that it is a "registration issue" and that THEY need to reset security settings. I waited 14 minutes but the representative found the issue then reset it and I was able to sign in.
Call 1-800-275-2273 (It's free in the US or on Skype if you're in Europe!) When you call, you'll get the standard automated secretary. DO NOT SAY ANYTHING. If you say anything, you will be told that you either need to purchase a protection plan for $19.99 or literally "end the call". Just stay on the line until you're asked if you wish to speak with a representative. Do that and you'll be connected (for free). They will ask for you Macbook Pro serial number and a "Customer Code" if you have one. Tell them how long that you've had this issue and they'll confirm your Apple ID.
Once they confirm your Apple ID, they reset everything on their end and you should be set. Make sure that you are able to send messages/make calls before hanging up. -

I just got an Iphone and I can't email from it. I received an email that said I needed to verify my email but when I did the message I got was: invalid account for this email address. I don't understand. Thoughts?
If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

Have Apple asked me to verify my email address?
I've received an email addressed to someone else asking me to verify my email address as a new rescue email, I'm guessing this is a scam?
Dear Aaron Gardner,
You recently added ***** as a new rescue email address for your Apple ID. To verify this email address belongs to you, click the link below and then sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Verify now >
Why you received this email.
Apple requests verification whenever an email address is added to an Apple ID. Your email address cannot be used without verification.
If you didn’t make this change or if you believe an unauthorized person is attempting to access your account, you can reset your password by going to My Apple ID.
Sincerely,
Apple Support
<Email Edited By Host>I would go with the presumption that it's phishing. Or at the very least, someone tried to do something with your account.
I'd change the password on your Apple ID, but don't do anything via any link in that e-mail. Sign in via your iTunes and do it through a known good link (as in via the manage your ID part of iTunes) -
Email from Adobe to verify my email address
Adobe already knows my email address.
Why would I get a email from Adobe requesting me to verify my email address. Asking me to copy a very long link to paste in my browser. I can not copy/paste the link her either.
this is how it starts https://adobeid-na1.services.adobe.com/renga-idprovider/pages/evp?state=d511i and goes on forever
Is this from Adobe or a scam?
BarbieThe partial link you posted definitely goes to an Adobe server.
To determine if the email message indeed originates from Adobe, check the IP address it was sent from in the email headers.

"To help protect your privacy, we'll sometimes ask you to verify your email address even though you're already signed in. Verify your email This link will expire 24 hours. Sincerely, The iCloud Team" Is it legit?
It asked for my name, email address, pasword and apple I.D.
Why?
JeanIt's spam.

So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
*Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.
