I am getting this message.

Hi MartyK1313,


Was your Apple ID recently created? If so, has it been fully verified? You should get a verification email from Apple so you should check your email and follow the instruction to verify your email.


Check out: How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support


If this continues after following those steps, you should reach out to Apple Podcaster support for further assistance. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Apple Podcasts for Creators.


Take Care!

Hello MartyK1313,


Since you are still receiving this error message, also ensure you are following these steps from Create an Apple Podcasts Connect account to fully activate your Apple ID:

1. Create an active Apple ID
Create an Apple ID or use your existing Apple ID. Verify that your Apple ID is fully activated by adding a valid payment method and agreeing to the Apple Media Service Terms and Conditions. Note: You won’t be charged until you make a purchase.

You’ll also need to enable your Apple ID for two-factor authentication.


Since you do not use any Apple products, the 'Add a payment method on your Windows PC or Microsoft Surface' and 'Add a payment method online' sections here show how to add a payment method to your Apple ID: Add a payment method to your Apple ID


We hope that helps!
