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.
In fact, in my profile info my forum user name is now associated with the other email address I have as an Apple ID.
I'm having the same exact problem. Started with me yesterday.
Contacted apple with not help, now waiting on iTunes for help
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.

you wont get an email till you set it up in your iphone...
Not sure about anyone else, but I don't want iCloud.
Having the same problem since oct 12. It's driving me crazy. There must be a solution out there....
If any finds a solution, please let us know!
I'm still waiting on a response from iTunes support
I am being asked to verify my ID as well, however, the email address to which the info has been sent is no longer in use. I can't get into my account to update my email address because I can't verify my ID because the email address is dead so I can't verify my ID so I can't change my email address........ and so on and so on and so on.
Have the same issue. Even set up a new ID, but when i try to update it comes up asking for the password to the original email address (that is closed, like yours) even though im signed in with new id and email address. Really frustrating......
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.
I thought the headaches I experienced trying to port two AT&T numbers to two new iPhone 4Ss on Verizon, and get them activated properly, was bad enough.
This is even worse. The Apple ID account department at Apple needs a big time shakeup, it's a disaster and an utter failure.
same here - it wants vweification but only sends emails to change password - then says username verified to another account. anyone have a clue as to what is happening??
Not sure when it started, but have the same problem - just went to buy a track, and got the thing about an email being sent.
Not an email address I use except for iTunes and these forums, but then I realised I had acces via icloud.com - trouble is there's no sign of any verification email for me to confirm....
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?
I am having this same problem, and I kept going around in circles until I just gave up. I used the exact same apple ID I have had for 8 years, nothing has changed. This leads me to think that the problem is on their end. I'll just wait this out...annoying! :-)
