Apple ID verification failed

Definitely me too. iPad 11 pro max and iPad Air 3. They are different software versions and it worked before, so it isn’t a software problem.

There is a current iCloud sign in issue, which could be related. But they should really put a yellow status on Apple Pay.

if they’re going to promote these services, they need to have minimal downtime. And own up to it and fix it.

Experiencing the same error on my iPhone XS and iPhone 6S. Restarted both devices but no change. Multiple apps are trying to log in with my Apple ID in the background and are unable to do so. Looks to be a server outage of some kind.

I also was asked to sign in to post to this forum and the system accepted my password. It's not working on iPhone, iPad or for the Apple Store. The support line is also jammed, so it may be a general problem.

Could it be because you haven’t updated the systems on these devices? I am having the same issue with my iPhone 6+ and iPhone 7+, where both phones aren’t allowing me to log in. But I have updated my iPhone XR and I don’t have that issue. Does anyone else have any ideas to resolve this?

I am having the same issue. I can't download or update apps, and I can't make purchases until I "Sign in to update your Apple ID preferences." But whenever I try to sign in, it tells me it failed and that "This application you have selected does not exist." I tried changing my password twice, thinking it had been compromised, and I tried on both my iPhone and my MacBook Air. I also tried restarting both devices, with nothing I've tried working. I have been on hold with Apple support for over 10 minutes now, even though it said the waitlist was less than 10 minutes, so I'm assuming it's a new issue that everyone is having.

I have the same error message on my iPhone 11.

"verification failed, The application you have selected does not exist”

But not on any of my other devices. I am entering the correct Apple ID password and I continue to get this error.

Same problem. I've reset my password twice (super frustrating in itself), and then when I enter that password in with my Apple ID, it gives me the same error code. Two different devices. Infuriating.

No, it isn't that. It only says we need to sign into our Apple ID so that the settings and preferences can be updated, but it won't let us. it keeps saying failed because "This application you have selected is not available." I was on hold with Apple support for over 20 minutes, then the robot said "we can provide you service right now, try again in 15 minutes" and hung up on me.

I figured it out ,, this worked for me so if it doesn’t for you I’m sorry man I tried.. ,, okay step 1: reset password

step 2: make the notification come back saying “verification failed”.

step 3: enter in your old password ,, then once it says error wrong password or whatever ,, type in your new password the 2nd time it asks you and it could work. That’s what worked for me on my iPad Pro and iPhone 11

I faced a similar issue with an iPhone 7, iPad Air 3 and a Macbook Air. Resetting the password didn't help but we signed out of the app store on one of devices and signed back in and it asked for a verification code on the other two devices. Once we put the verification code in, we didn't have this problem anymore. It was just asking for some sort of two-factor verification.

Also: we tried resetting the password but that didn't work for us so that's why we ended up doing this.

I manually checked for updates and installed an update to fix this issue.

I dint get why people pollute the discussion with 100 messages of “me too”... that’s not helpful at all. Just makes it hard to find solutions.

I just googled and found this thread, I'm getting the same message right now. What gives?

Just got off the phone with Apple support they’re saying it’s a system wide situation and it should be fixed within a couple of hours!

Thanks for sharing this!
