Apple ID verification problem

Please help! I am having a repetative issue now with trying to update apps from the app store on my iPhone. It keeps telling me the Apple id is not verified and click the link, etc. When I do, it says it will send a "verification email". I've now done this about 10+ times and never get an email. Also, I have tried changing passwords etc. I have 2 email addresses an @me and a generic gmail, hotmail etc. I still never get the email. Should I just call support or does anyone out there have any clue. I've downloaded new apps, etc, since then but it won't update simply because of the ID, it makes zero sense and I am getting very frustrated...

iPhone 4, iOS 5, new 4s iPhone

I used an alternet browser ... Google chrome. When I followed the same process I had been the last 30 times I tried with no success. I was waiting for the error screen I had become so familiar with but I was pleasantly surprised when I was directed to a successful screen explaining that my apple I'd had been verified and was ready for use.

Why do they say Apple products are intutive? I can not download any apps after the first one. I know the password is correct, however it keeps me asking my password and do not go passed that. Please fix Apple ID. I have Samsung Galaxy S3. And I never had this problem or any similar problem with user friendness.

I was able to access my details via the profile on this site and edit them which for some reason wouldn't save properly before the upgrade.

It seems the upgrade may have fixed the problem.

I hope yours will work now.

It seems loads of us have suffered this problem.

Same exact problem. I cannot log-in to icloud, Itunes and can't download any apps on my iPad2 and New iPad. I contacted iTunes but they too can't fix it. I have 2 iPhone5. I logged on and logged off. But for iPads, its totally dead.
