What's up re: Apple ID email verification?

I've had this ID for years and am now being hassled for verification. If I haven't needed to verify before, I must ask, Why now? And why was I able to go this long without verifying?

One or two people seem to have this issue at the moment. Ok, so it's a bit of a bind not being able to buy or update right now but I'd just leave it for a while and see what gives.
Hopefully it's because they are working on merging IDs or something.

Note that is you sing out of the store you won't be able to sing back in until the issue is addressed.


I received the message that my email address was associated with another Apple ID, and that a verification email had been sent to that one but nothing received as yet. My account has either been hacked or APPL are having issues. Not worried yet though.

Got ahold of Apple you must do all of this before you can get into I cloud.. I thought the same when I signed into Me.com it says you dont have to do anything but you have to do alot of everything.. Update your OS and if you have anything before vista on your computer your screwed.. It doesnt work with XP.

I'm suddenly getting the same thing: when trying to download some app updates, I get "you have not verified your Apple ID" - well, I could download yesterday…

I then click on instructions, get the message that a verification mail has been sent to an address I use - but nothing there.

This, along with all the problems with Lion, IOS5 and iCloud migration is really stretching my patience.

This is driving me nuts... First it tells me that my iTunes username is incorrect then my password is already in use. This account has not changed at all in over four years. - So I change both my username and password and it tells me that i need to verify it... Email should have been sent... nothing.... !!!

At the moment I have got three accounts now (two new ones due to this) none of which work.... What the **** is going on !!!.... RANT RANT RANT

Anyone else having problems like this?
