Why won't it let me verify my email address?

I'm trying to verify my email address associated with my apple id and it won't send me the email link to verify. How do I address this???

Having the same problem! I have gone through the motions of verifying the accounts (I have 2). Verification email comes and makes me reset my password. Okay, done, and redone...... still said verified by another Apple ID. Why aren't they (Apple) fixing this?! Oh, wait, because they have a total lock on the market and well face it, where you gonna go? iphone, ipad, .... 7 apple products in the house and this is the service I get. Sweet...not.

The only way I solved it was to change the email address used for my ID to a new one.

iTunes tech support is of no help on this.

it seems that the old address is associated to another account which is not fully configured, a unstable state where nobody can have any action on it. tech support can't delete it because its setup is not completed and we can't access it to complete it.

A really anoying bug.

I am having the same issue as well and the only thing I can think of is that I am using a school email address so the email ends with @ohio.edu.. I am not sure if that is someway screwing with the verify email. They really need to fix this crap because the new update already deleted all my contact and whipped half of my apps off my phone and now it is not letting me sign up for the could because of this email. I hate apple.
