I keep getting an error when trying to log into my Apple ID saying “verification failed, The application you have selected does not exist”
this is on my iPhone 8, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 2.
iPhone 8
I'm also experiencing this today (June 2, 2020), but on a Mac.
Maybe some more detail that could help: this morning I got an error "Your Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." Not entirely sure what happened, I went through the recommended steps and reset my password on a MacBook Pro (2019 - work laptop), and then logged in to AppleID/iCloud again. I repeated this on my iPhone XS successfully. I was also able to log in to my AppleTV successfully.
This evening, I opened up my MacBook Pro (2015 - personal laptop) and got prompted to log back in with Apple ID - not surprising. But I got the "The application you have selected does not exist" error repeatedly. I rebooted also. No luck.
Edit: There is indeed an issue ongoing - if you look at https://www.apple.com/ca/support/systemstatus/ - there is an outage listed:
iCloud Account & Sign In - Issue
Today, 5:16 PM - ongoing
Some users are affected
Users may be unable to sign in.
(note that's EDT, so the issue was known almost 2hrs prior to the original post, and almost 3hrs from now.
June 2nd around 720 i cant log into my phone at all. I tried to change my password and it says "verification failed" "the application you have selected does not exist."
i have tried to change my password many times and its still not working
I have been getting this message too! I'm trying to set up a new iPhone and it keeps asking for my Apple ID password and every time I enter the password I still get this message. must be a glitch in apples servers?
I am getting the same error message . “Verification failed” ; “The application does not exist” ... I cannot create or manage family sharing . I cannot log out of an old device . When I try to manage my Apple ID , it keeps logging me out “for my security” .. please solve this issue !!
I am getting the same error. I lost my phone, so I am signing up my apple watch on an old phone of mine and I can no longer sign into my iCloud from any of my computers. My iMac, MacBook Air or my iPhone 6s.
thanks.
Same problem on google app on android, logging in to icloud.com on android and logging in to icloud.com on mac OS. But still have mail on mac OS and used the same login for this discussions.apple.com.
can someone explain to me why this is happening, I can’t make a purchase. I bought an iTunes card earlier, now it’s not letting me purchase the thing I was going to buy!!!! This is frustrating!!! It really is!!! Apple fix the issue!!! I didn’t buy the iTunes card for nothing, there goes my 15 bucks down the drain Smh!!!
I am having this same problem with my 2020 MacBook Pro. I cannot get into any of my devices because I had to change my password and now I get that message on iPhone, iPad, and laptop. Help! I can't accessory email!!!
Realized I was having icloud issues when I tried to make an inapp purchase. It forced me to change my icloud password and then now getting the verfication failed and "the application you have selected doesn't exist" error at sign in across all devices. Iphone, Ipad and Macbook. Started around 4:30 pm PST
I am having the same problem, tried resetting the password multiple times to fix the issue and same error message every time. Please let me know a work around or once it’s fixed so I can move forward. Thanks
Hi,
I cannot verify my apple id for some reason, i keep receiving an error when i type in my email and password saying “application failed”.
Please let me know how i can fix this.
This is on my Iphone 8 plus.
Thank you
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 am having the exact same problem! Ughhh...
Apple ID verification failed
