Q: 2 apple IDs / Cannot verify my icloud account or My apple ID
I have two apple IDs with two different email addresses. *****@yahoo.com and ************@gmail.com
I can sign into my Apple ID associated with the Yahoo address but not the gmail address. It will send a password reset but It will not send a verification email to this address.
Verify your email address.
Every time I try to sign into icloud on my macbook I get an error message that my icloud account has not been verified and that an email has been sent to my gmail account to verify it. I never get this email. No matter how many times I resend it. This is linked to my Gmail account which I cannot verify.
- It is not in junk in my gmail account
- it is not being sent to my yahoo account.
- I've seen this thread and tried "sorting out my ID's - Re: Not getting iCloud verification email
- I don't seem to be able to do this. It just tells me to choose which email address I have used most recently and then asks me to select one.
- If I try to add my gmail account as an alternate email to my yahoo account it says its already linked to another Apple ID
- I've checked these If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
- I've tried checking my Apple ID
Make sure that the email address is correct in your Apple ID account
If you're verifying an Apple ID email address, take these steps:
- Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
- Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
- If the email address listed in your account is incorrect, edit the address as needed. Apple will send another
- verification email to the corrected address.
I do this ------> I get this message.
Verify your email address.
Your Apple ID has been created. Before you can use it, we need to make sure that erinlouiseconnors@gmail.com belongs to you.
Check your email and look for a verification email from Apple. Click on the Verify Now link and sign in with your new Apple ID and password.
I never get a verification email.
You cannot merge two apple ID's
So my question is How do I verify my icloud and Apple ID account if I cannot receive a verification email?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
