Any ideas how i can get my webmasters tools verified? I have tried the file, i have tried the meta in head code via admin, i have tried adding 


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/google_file_name.html in .htaccess,nothing works! Seriously when i came across this software i though wow this looks really impressive, but boy they have missed some serious work for mobile and seo stuff!

To make sure..
Have You tried to put the google code  via: admin/settings/page (Custom Head Code box)

google code is like this:
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="GTYizJbvXac3HxDITMe-XNu_n_45-D62-F0s77ULHfezg" />

sometimes the problem comes from the server (downwhen google access your site), http:// access is not normal, etc...so that the google machine can not readyour site

server down meanings not actually down....
When google accessing the server but maybe the server responds very slowly so google google considers down..

try to upload html google code to your public site via cpanel
and add this code to your .htacces
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/google_file_name\.html

This is your old code RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/google_file_name.html
try changing to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/google_file_name\.html
