how do i add an apple dns record to my domain, if my spectrum mail provider already had me do this? the domain is hosted by me - I have all access to it, but do not want to shut down the email to do this change apple is requesting.
this is the error I recieve:
Error: This record will conflict with the CNAME record for the zone.
this is the TXT record they want added:
apple-domain-verification=7nuyKH1jfCUzPO3r

While I’d be happy to tell you how to manually edit your zone files, I suspect this error is arising from usage of whatever front-end your DNS provider is using in place of having people directly editing their own zone files.
Or shorter: Check with your DNS provider.
Or if you tell us which DNS provider, we might be able to find how to add DNS TXT text records for you.
