    Hello shellyddddd,

     

     

     

    The following information should be helpful for getting your account verified.

     

    I cannot sign in to the iCloud Preferences pane on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.

    If you cannot sign in due to an alert stating "Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account":

    1. Close and reopen the iCloud Preferences pane before logging in again.
    2. If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
    3. If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button on the iCloud Preferences pane.
