Didn't want to, but I did what Favot suggested (easy for me since I manage my own domain) and it worked. However, it's totally ridiculous (and incompetent) that this issue has not been resolved by Apple. It's not hard to tell a person that the email address is associated with multiple IDs and what they can do about it. Instead, Apple, in its great wisdom and infallibility has deemed that the appropriate response is no response at all. No warning, no hint, no error, nothing. It just doesn't work. I call that arrogance and incompetence. Apple's attitude is "who cares."

Here's the FIX for iCLOUD not sending the Verification Email.


I spent all day (yesterday) trying to resolve this. Here's my FIX.


1. Create a new email address (I made a new Gmail account)


2. Go to https://appleid.apple.com/


3. Click manage accounts.


4. Sign in (with old/original email address), and change your Primary email address to your NEW Address.


5. Your icloud should verify right away.


You make think creating a new email is to much work, but I tried everything, I even called apple and they wanted me to pay 29.99 for apple care.... I just wanted a FREE ANSWER and HERE IT IS.

I was able to login to iCloud using an ID I created specifically for FaceTime; this ID ended in@mac.com. This worked. My trial and error was using apple account I use for iTunes payment and music. I think there is a disconnect between accounts. The funny part is that after I set iCloud they wanted to create another account for e-mail and notes with a @me.com account. Apple needs to create a way to merge accounts. This is big issue that needs to be fixed ASAP.

I had the same problem. After much frustration, I found that I had two other, older Apple IDs (not email addresses) that used the the same email address as the one I was trying to create/convert my Apple ID to. Click on the link "Find Out" on the My Apple ID page to see if you have other Apple IDs associated with a particular email address. You need to log in to manage each unused Apple ID and change the associated email to something else; don't worry about verification. You can then sucessfully create and verify your desired email address as a new Apple ID and use it for iCloud, App Store . . .
