How can i find the mac address of a brand new iphone 5 since i can't get to the settings screen untill it's signed onto the web

I have a brand new iphone. my home wifi router has a mac filter. I can't use my phone until the wifi is set up but i cant set up my phone until it connects to the internet. is there a way to find the mac addreess without getting to the settings menu?

It's not on the box.
Try turning off Mac filtering temporarily on your router, finish the setup, then turn it back on. Or use another WiFi hotspot, such as an Apple store or a carrier's store. Or McDonalds. Or Starbucks.

How can I find my MAC address on macbook pro?

I just bought a new macbook pro with the lion software and can't find my MAC address.

Did you look under the System Preferences > Network > Airport (or Ethernet) > Advanced
The Airport ID or Ethernet ID is your MAC address, depending on which one your using.
You can also use the Terminal

Not those whole folders, but their contents, maybe.
If the user account now on the Mac has read rights to the user account(s) on the backups, yes. If not, you may have to do some finagling.
Try the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17. If you find an account that can open those folders, restore what you want to an alternate location (#16 in the FAQ).
If not try creating one or more accounts temporarily.

You can't. That much other generally indicates corrupt data. Restore the phone.

How do I find my pin number to connect my new Iphone 5

How do I find my pin number to connect on blue tooth

The PIN number comes from the other device, not the phone. Put both devices in pairing/discovery mode. Once the 3rd party device is found by the phone, it should prompt you for the PIN number for the device. This should be provided to you in the documentation for the 3rd party device. See if this support document helps you. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1664

TS1702 Why can't I download any apps with my brand new Iphone?

I am new to the Iphone and for the life of me I am not able to download ANY apps to my phone. I have tried what I think is everything, but I'm sure I am missing something. I have have changed my setting to try and download off the cellular network, I have tried to download from my home network, I have tried at different locations, and nothing seems to be working. I have not been able to download anything.

Make sure your wifi is good on another device, go into the App Store app, tap Search to find a specific app, typethe name of the app after touching the text feild at the top, press Search, tap an app, press the button that says FREE or $.99, etc. then press it again to INSTALL. Now you wait for the download to end.
Unfortunately this process maychange this fall when the big App Store renovation hits, of course you have to choose to upgrade (for free). STAY LOYAL ...lol, I creep myslef out sometimes.

How to get the MAC address of the additional 10G NIC with ILO command line

how to get the MAC address of the additional 10G NIC with ILO command line?
thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi Bruce,
Out from what I can find on this network card is it not possible to get the mac address without a OS. I would recommend you to get/burn a Linux/Ubuntu live CD/DVD and run a Ifconfig in there.
Hope it helps you.

I am using Macbook pro retina display 2013 version. I have bought a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter in order to connect my Macbook to LAN.

** You may need to do these steps every time you boot your mac.

Hi, Have tried searching the bookmarks database. Can't find my problem addressed :9

Hi, Have tried searching the database. Can't find my problem addressed. I have lost one folder in my bookmarks and all of its contents. Went to all of the sites in that folder and downloaded them again. Some of the new downloads don't show up in the bookmarks list even though it says, site is bookmarked? What do I need to do to see all of the contents in that folder, please?
Thanks.

Thank you so much for trying to help me. So sorry that I am computer illiterate :)
Using your first alternate suggestion I closed down the computer completely.
When reopened it was the same.
Downloaded the Maintenance Add-On and did All>Execute. Some changes were made but the problem remained the same.
Following your second suggestion I deleted the places.squite folder and reopened FF. The problem remains...
For your information - don't know if it matters, both my bookmarks folder and my bookmarksbackups folder are empty. Screen shot attached.
Oooff - now I am getting upload invalid and I don't know why! I saved them both as .jpg
So sorry to be thick! Can you help?
Thank you.

I have forgotten my administrator password and can't find my Mac OS X Install Dvd..what can I do?

I have forgotten my administrator password and can't find my Mac OS X Install Dvd to reset it, what can I do?

OK, try this:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/10/forgot-mac-password-how-to-reset-mac-password/
Be very very careful if you decide to use Terminal. Even a small typing error can cause a disaster. And terminal commands must be typed exactly as shown, including spaces.
Good luck.
p.s. Your Apple ID and password - different from the computer log in password - are what you used to get to this discussion.

Cannot get to the Mac address!

Hi everyone,
We used to be able to connect our Wii to our wireless connection with a few clicks, now after we haven't had the Wii plugged in for about a year it can't seem to connect anymore, all though nothing changed on my airport side, the WEP password is the same, I tried retyping it a few times and that did nothing.....anyways, we went to the Nintendo support site and they also recommend the following:
1. If your WEP or WPA key is correct, then the problem might be related to MAC address filtering:
1. From the router settings, locate the "MAC address filter" settings (also known as "access control", "access list", or "network filter" depending on your router model).
2. If the Mac address filter is set to "enabled", then you must add the Wii's MAC address to the "allowed" list. You can locate the Wii's MAC address from the "console information" page (located under "Internet" in the Wii Settings).
3. If the Mac address filter was disabled, then continue troubleshooting.
now, I am not able to access my airport utility, I put in the WEP password its asking for and it keeps coming back for it............so , I cannot access that panel, but I can't find a place to add a Mac address in the network preferences for the airport!???
Help?
Thank you,
Lucia

Ok, here's the basic step-by-step to get your AX up-and-running to get Internet access from a cable modem ...
Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
o Power-off the Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 10 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
Setup the AX
Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, try these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Create a closed network (unchecked)
o Wireless Security: Not enabled
o Channel: Automatic
o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure: Using DHCP
o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
Change Wireless Security
o Wireless Security: WPA Personal or WPA2 Personal
o Encryption Type: WPA and WPA2
Base Station Options - WAN Ethernet Port
o Enable Ethernet Port (checked)
o Enable SNMP Access (unchecked)
o Enable Remote Configuration (unchecked)
o Enable Remote Printer Access (unchecked)

Hello, both my iphone and my ipad are work related and I signed up for the cloud when I recieved my new iphone.
I can not remember my icloud password and my ipad is blocked because I need to confirm my cloud password. any help you can provide would be appreciated

I for one at least am not experiencing Wi-Fi dropping on iOS 6.
Try this..
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You may need to enter your network password.
Then restart the devices.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
And try turning off your router for about 5 minutes, turn it back on.
