Sometimes it might happen that your Apple ID and primary e-mail address it's the same as Secondary email address.
You can fix it deleting the Secondary email address if it does not differs from the primary.
I had the same issue (it affected iCloud Calendar's invites too).
Today I had this issue, and it seems that while my password was useful in game center and the iTunes/App stores, my password had expired and when I logged into applied.apple.com, I needed to update it. After that, Find my Friends logs me in on both my iPad and iPhone again.
I was having the same issue but to fix it all I did was change one thing in Find My Friends.
I went into Find my Friends, hit "Me" on the bottom status bar, hit "Account" in the upper right hand corner, then I looked under the "Notifications" and saw that the "Send As" email was different than my primary Apple ID. So I changed the "Send As" email to my primary ID and i was able to send requests! Hope this helps!
Here's the fix...
Your Apple ID password has expired. Go to appleid.apple.com and magage your acount. It will prompt you to change your password, then try logging back in and you should be good to go.

The issue I am having is the find my frinds app forces you to use an email address to log in. When I do that it says the apple ID has not been verified.
I signed up for .mac years ago and have been able to just log in to the app store and game center with username not username@mac.com. Also all my gamecenter achievements and friend are linked to username log in. If I log in with username@mac.com to either the app store or gamecenter I do not have access to my prior app store purchase or gamcenter friends. My question is if any of you have change your apple id from username to username@mac.comin order to allow find my friends to work and still have access to your prior purchases and gamecenter friends and achievements?
I have been using the app on my iPhone 4 since it's release. I recently purchased an iPad 2 and installed the app on it as well. Then a few days ago when trying to add a new friend I received the following error message...
"Cannot Connect to Find My Friends
Verify your Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com to use Find My Friends."
My Apple ID is verified. When I follow the link and log in, I am not promted with any changes. This must be a glitch on Apple's server. I have been a primary .Mac - MobileMe - iCloud user for over 10 years now with the same Apple ID. All of my other iCloud applications are working just fine.
I have deleted and reinstalled the app on both devices with no results. There has been a lot of buzz about new iOS features in the works for Find My Friends as well as a new desktop "Mountain Lion" verison of the app in development. Maybe that's why it is being glitchy right now. There have also been some privacy debates. Maybe Apple is discreetly handeling a legal issue and temporarliy limiting use of the app.
In my case this was popping up because my password had expired. I logged in on appleid.apple.com, clicked on manage account and it said password had expired. I changed it and it worked fine. No reinstalling the app or anything.
I too had the dialogue box was telling me that my .mac email wasn't verified with my AppleID (which is my AppleID) because of that, I couldn't verify it, as that was the account itself...
Anyway, I went into the Find Friends Account Settings and selected my personal email address (which is my first alternative email address in my Apple ID settings) as the account to send Notifications from and that fixed it.
Sign in with your AppleID and make sure you have a verified email address, that you can then use to login to "Find My Friends" https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Anyone had some luck with this new app?
Same issues. Argh. I had a friend that sent me an invite fine. Used my MobileMe account after I converted it to iCloud and I get the same error. ARGH.
Same problem. I can register the app with the Apple ID but I can not send an invitation because it can not recognize the ID. Amazing.
Yep, me too very frustrating! Says to verify your Apple I'd but says already verified by another apple id. But it's mine!!!!! Arrrggggggh
This is the answer...I just tried it and it works...thanks!!!
Hurrah! After much messing about, saw this answer and tried it with complete success! Thank you theculturist !
