Can't verify Apple ID! NO email is sent??

Well, I also encounter the same situation. Afer registering an Apple ID. it said that an email verification was sent to the address i declared. But after checking very carefully i can not find the email. I signed in my account severally to get the verification resent but i did not work. Well. What is wrong here. I use gmail account to receive the email. Pls help. Thanks.

I have the same problem. Tried requesting another email confirmation (again and again), also changed the email in the hope that it would be some gmail related issue, but no luck so far...

Some help on the issue would be apreciated.

Same here! Just bought a macbook air & can't get the Apple ID verification email. I spent an hour at the apple store and none of their staff could figure out what's going on!!! This is so annoying! I tried changing email addresses & checking the spam folder but no use! 😟

Bought a new Ipod today for my son.

First Apple product..... No verification email, tried to make different apple id s to many email adresses.

This just doesn't work. Already added appleid to save list...and resent many, may times for hours now.

Very bad first impression. Shame on you apple!

I also bought a new Ipad today... First time appler user... no verification email, tried with 3 difference email adderess, but still can't... also added "appleid@id.apple.com" to my mail contact, but still fail.. what's wrong with Apple?

I am a Telus Mobility cellular rep, I have activated dozens if not hundreds of Apple IDs for new iPhone users. As of today I had 3 new Apple IDs verify. One user had a yahoo.com email, one with a hosted email with either Telus or Shaw, and my own Gmail account, none of the users had any email in our junk folders from Apple. I even had my old verification email from a year ago, which I launched the link to and it asked to resend a verification email, still nothing. Apple is clearly screwing up.

Bought an iPod Touch today. After 2 hours still no verification e-mail here either. Want to give it as a present tomorrow morning but can't install anything. This is very frustrating. Fix this please Apple!

For my clients I was only able to speak with one afterwards, he said the email did come through. As for mine when I tried to reverify my email after switching accounts, it took to the 2nd morning after and I had 7 verification emails that pumped into my inbox. I had clicked the resend verification a bunch of times and changed my email to a different one, then back again to the original trying to force and email. In the end I just had to wait for apple to get around to it.

I have done everything multiple times and yet my ipad will not sync the same name as my mac and therefore I can't update apps nor can I download anything. And, as everyone else says, I get no response from apple.

well i,ve just done wot you said numerous times and im not getting the email which says click to verify, but i am getting the email to reset my password and account which i have done numerous times, and my server isnt down coz im getting other emails from apple just not the final one to verify. bloody frustrated now, its gonna get thrown through the bloody window in a minute.x

i so hate being hekd to ransom, and this is what it feelslike! Purchased itunes apps yesterday on my iphone and today its asking me to verify my account as this is a new device - what the??? have credit in my account but cant spend it whilst the coins sales are on 😟 is this done on pupropse or what? Still waiting for that non existant verification email and a reply to my email to customer support! thanks for the high priced nothingness 😟

Have been noticing the same, myself. Tried to reset mine earlier. The site said the email had been sent, but when I checked my messages, I didn't see anything.

I finally saw it arrive at my work email address instead of my home (I probably made that change on purpose in my account settings, but forgot about that)... but it wasn't until *after* I got home from a meeting/dinner, and by that time, the 3 hours had expired, so I couldn't complete the process.

However, I did notice that the message took 20 minutes to arrive (I turned on all headers in Thunderbird to see the delivery/receipt times):

Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 20:07:28 +0000 (GMT) -- so, 16:07:28 my time (GMT -0400)

Delivery-date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:27:29 -0400

So I'd suggest giving it some time and see if it finally arrives, but yeah... something's wonky somewhere. Wouldn't surprise me if my ISP was to blame, but considering I'm getting stuff from others pretty much instantly (I have a message from a client that arrived, apparently, in 3 seconds), I'm not certain.

Edit to add that the email from Apple for my 2nd attempt to reset my password just came through and, again, it took 20 minutes:

Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:15:26 +0000 (GMT)

Delivery-date: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 21:35:26 -0400

At least it's consistent. 😝

I noticed the links you provided are to the Canadian appleID servers. If possible, a user should create an appleID on the server for their country. This will register the user to the iTunes store for their country.

So I bought a new iPhone a week ago so I decided to download apps then I was aware I had to make an Apple I'd once I did so I had to vertify it by checking my email I checked my inbox and all the other folders yet I didn't find it so I waited for 1 whole day after wards I clicked send again 2 times which means there will be three vertification links in my inbox btw I use hotmail then I see I have 3 messsages in my inbox but I'm using my new hotmail to vertify it so I knew I had the vertification in my inbox because there are 3 new messages which I'm aware it's the vertifications I check all my folders and NOTHING when my messenger says 3 new messages what the bloody **** is going on I'm so frusturated right now that I'm going to exPlode can someone please help me I'm starting to think that. Urging an iPhone was a waste of money .

Just got off the phone with Apple and the solution that worked for me after trying all these suggestions was the yahoo.com account that I was trying to use needed to be change to yahoo.ca - even thou I do not have a yahoo.ca account for some odd reason yahoo must link canadian users with a .ca account. As soon as I clicked send the email verification was instant.

Note: I did add "appleid" to list of approved users as one of the other suggestions.
