I think I remember having this same problem when I first tried to activate my Mac ID Services too... From what I recall, I just kept trying for another day or two and I was eventually able to log in. If you still can't get in after a couple of days, call someone at Mac and ask them... Sadly I don't know the number for the IT services :( Someone else on here will know though!

Call the main Mac number 905-525-9140. Once you hear the automatic message, hit 0 and you will be patched into an operator. Ask for IT services.
I don't know any of the extentions at Mac (minus security)...I use the operators EVERY time...

Yes, the e-mail takes a little while to be activated once you activate the rest of your services.
Great to see you got it working!  |

You can't do anything. Just be patient, it'll work eventually.
