Q: Cant verify Apple ID
-
Nov 18, 2011 12:13 PMby JDecker1978,I am not an apple employee. I just read the other posts that said sprint sent out a text about it, and Apple told a couple people it would take less than 24 hours to be fixed.
I guess everyone ******** would rather they be sending you emails then trying to fix the problem.
Sure its frustrating, but if you hate the company that much, don't buy their products.

Forward the verification email to your iPhone (email) --> verification process worked for me without problems from the iphone-Safari!!

Nov 20, 2011 2:45 AMby emma3206,Hi all,
I tried this and it worked:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password you used when creating the account.
4) Change the email address associated with your account.
5) Send new verification email
I also got this from apple CS for other things to try:
Please follow these steps to access your Apple ID accountinformation:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password youused when creating the account.
4) Delete any duplicate email addresses associated withyour account.
5) Click the Save Changes button.
If you do not have duplicate email addresses on your account, it is possible that your email address is already being used withanother Apple ID. In order to verify your email address with the current AppleID, it will need to be disassociated from your other Apple ID. You can do thatby following these steps:
1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
2) Log in with your other Apple ID and password.
3) Select the Manage your account link.
4) Choose Name, ID, and Email Address from the left sideof the page.
5) Next to Primary Email Address, select Edit so that youcan change the email address associated with this Apple ID.
6) Once you've made the desired change, select SaveChanges.
7) Choose Sign Out from the top right of the page.
If you would like to have the verification email resentto you, please sign into https://appleid.apple.com/with the Apple ID you want to verify, and make sure there is not a typo in yourPrimary Email Address. Select the "Edit" link to the right of your email address to make corrections and then click the "Save Changes" button.Once the typo is fixed, or if there is no typo, click the "Resend"link under your email address.
If you still do not receive the verification email,please reply to this email with the email address that you intend to use onyour Apple ID.
Good luck!

Nov 25, 2011 5:48 PMby neilfromhalifax,APPLE what's the delay in fixing this?
Read through the post which started back on Nov. 17th and it looks like it was fixed for a short time.
Now the problem is back.
A company that had it together is now going down the crapper.
First iOS 5 was a disaster, had to wait almost 2 weeks for the fixes.
Now I can't setup a new Apple ID account for my new $850.00 iPad.
I will return it and get a BlackBerry tablet fro 1/3 of the cost. At least I know it will work.
You have 24 hours!!!

Nov 25, 2011 6:33 PMby Persante,I was just about to come on and say that it works now. It seemed to go thru, and I even got the message:
"Email address verified.
Thank you for verifying your address. ********@*******.com is now associated with your Apple ID."
But now I just keep getting spammed the verify email from Apple, and it still says that I have not been verified my apple id when I try to download an app. Tried to verify again thru the emails they keep sending me, and we are back to square one with the same message everyone else is getting. This is seriously terrible, Apple.
Wow, just wow.
