Incorrect Addresses from GPS

All apps in ios5 that automatically guess your address based on location have been incorrect for me.
All that's happening is an incorrect line is being added between the street name and the city. Instead of:
1 Cowley Road,
Oxford
It would be displayed as
1 Cowley Road,
Risinghurst,
Oxford
This is happening on all address around the city, as far as I can tell. Risinghurst IS a suburb of Oxford, but obviously not every address should contain this.
This doesn't happen with any other websites that automatically find address based on postcode and house number, so I assume it's an issue with whatever address database apple is using. I'd be more than happy to report this to them if anyone can provide me with details.
Regards,
Dan

The issue must be elsewhere then.
Searching for my address in google maps returns the correct location. It also sees other locations with the correct address.
Reminders, find my friends, other apps that automatically lookup the address (not just the location) show incorrect addresses.
Just verified through google maps that it is still correct, and it is.

How can I purge a bad address from iPad Mail?

I have entered a bad address for my husband, thinking it was his correct e-mail address. I finally figured out it was wrong(there was an extra letter in it) and I changed it in contacts to correct it(Mobile Me corrected it on all my devices).
Now when I type in his name to send him an e-mail, iPad keeps wanting to send it to the old incorrect address, instead of the corrected address shown in contacts. Please tell me how I can purge the incorrect address from the mail program.

The more times that you use the correct email address, the sooner the correct address should come up as the first option in the list. Still can't delete it, but eventually the correct address should pop up as the first option over the incorrect address.

Delete a incorrect email address from Email history

I accidentally entered an incorrect address email into my 3G S. I sent an email to that address and now it shows in my history.
When i go to send an email to anyone who's name begins with "S" the incorrect address is there at the top of the list. Every other address has the "type" of address, i.e home, work next to it but the incorrect address does not, it just has the email address.
How do i delete either the incorrect address off my phone, please note that it is not anywhere else on my phone, it is not in her "contact info" or how do i clear the "sent email" history?
I have restored the "factory settings" and also done the "press the home key and off button until the phone switches off" trick. Nothing has worked
Please someone help me as it is driving me CRAZY!

The Mail app on the iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. The only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.

Delete incorrect email address from TO field?

How do you delete incorrect email addresses from the TO, CC, or BCC fields? Also, once that is done, how do you enter a correct address from the address book (not an incorrect address that the iPad has memorized).
I need very simple step by step instructions that my 80 year old mother can understand when I explain over the phone what needs to be done. I do not have an iPad myself.

I think it was something embarassingly obvious like touch the incorrect address and then the delete button on the keyboard.

HT5624 I have two mail accounts and one Icloud account. Thproblem is mail is going out with the incorrect sent from address. I deleted the mail accounts and added just one account back and mail still goes out with the incorrect from address and people res

My phone will not5 send from the correct address tht I want my mail sent from. Although my mail goes into the correct mail accout answeres leave with the incorrect sent from address.
I want to be able to send mail corectly.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

How to delete addresses from the pop-down list in the "To" line ?

Several times I have entered someones's address incorrectly in my address book. When I correct it at some later time, the incorrect one still appears in the pop-down list when I start typing the name in the To: line. Sometimes I don't look closely and the old, incorrect address gets entered (and then I never hear back from the person!). So how do I delete the incorrect ones? I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks.
John

Those are probably coming from your previous recipients list.
Open Mail, Click on Window, Previous Recipents, and delete any that you don't want.

WTR54GS Fails to obtain a DHCP IP Address from Upstream

Greetings!
I had effectively given-up on Linksys Router WTR54GS, as it was advertised that it could be plugged into a pre-existing network (friends home network, a hotel room ethernet jack, etc), but sadly the WTR54GS itself is incapable of obtaining a DHCP IP Address from an upstream DHCP server (like the hotel, etc).
I have tried repeatedly to work with Linksys Support but everyone wants to blame the upstream router, suggesting that I change it's configuration to "Bridged-mode". Yeah, right. Like I'm going to walk down to the hotel lobby main desk and tell them that they need to place THEIR network in bridged mode just so my WTR54GS will work. I was willing to believe that the first router (version 2.0) that I was sent was defective, and let Tech Support talk me into returning it to my vendor and seeking a replacement.
I receieved the replacement (this time version 1.0) and had EXACTLY the same problem. I returned that one as well (marked defective) after talking with Ellen in Linksys 2nd Level Technical Support. She promised this would be referred to the Linksys Engineering group for further study. This was 4+ months ago.
I would like to buy another one, but am hesitant to buy because I just do not trust Linksys Technical Support anymore. Can someone please confirm that Linksys Engineering is aware of this problem, acknowledges its existence, and has resolved (or is at least working on resolving) this problem?

So you have connected WTR through the correct (blue) port to the internet connection?
You have configured the WTR for wired internet connection type?
You have configured the WTR for DHCP?
What does the WTR say on the Status page?
Have you tested the WTR inside your home network?

Mail 4.1 incorrect "sending from" settings, won't send SMTP mail

I've noted quite a few others reporting 10.6.1 SMTP mail problems, but I haven't seen my specific issue noted elsewhere.
I've been able to send using my IMAP AOL address via Mail and longtime SMTP settings until today. Now, Mail apparently is scrambling outgoing email addresses and mismatching them with the outgoing SMTP settings. For instance:
Using AOL address example [email protected] (showing correctly in the "From" window), the email will not send. The "cannot sent message using the server 'LG'..." dialogue comes up with the options to edit the SMTP server list or use the Connection Doctor. (All Connection Doctor reports coming back green, so the trouble's not there.)
Looking a little closer at the dialogue box, though, it says Mail thinks the outgoing message is being sent from an entirely separate email address. In a couple of tests, the incorrect "sending from" address changes - one time it was a different AOL account, the next was an entirely separate .edu account. Wish I could attach a screenshot, but the bottomline is: I can see the "From" field showing the [email protected] address, but the error message about reconciling the outgoing server settings shows "Sending from: My Name <[email protected]>"
Whatever the issue is, it is apparently not affecting (so far) my IMAP personal domain or IMAP gmail accounts - they're both sending and receiving normally.
So Mail apparently is trying to send AOL account mail, but it's not finding the correct SMTP connection because somewhere along the way it's shifted the "sending from" to a different account.
Any thoughts?

I've been using Mail app with AOL accounts and the current settings for years with no trouble. This is new.
I still think it's a Mail app issue - it's clearly showing in the error message a different "Sending from" account from the one that's actually selected and showing in the "From" window of the email message. It's as though Mail is trying to apply the existing SMTP settings for an erroneous account to the outgoing message. It's either trying to send [email protected] mail with YY.aol.com SMTP settings or vice versa.
I'd be open to re-creating the AOL IMPAP accounts if I could avoid losing years worth of sent and received messages. I have everything backed up with Time Machine, but I've had very erratic email recovery issues with it since Snow Leopard too.

Help with iTunes 'incorrect address'

As of about two day ago, I am unable to purchase or download updates from the iTunes store and App store, as I get an Incorrect Address error every time I attempt to download. Even after confirming address in my iTunes account info, which is apparently successfully accepted, I continue to get the same error repeatedly. I have tried deleting billing info and changing billing methods, all with the same effect. Is anyone else having this problem? Has worked fine for years up till tonight.

I first noticed it today.
I've had it ask me on and off to verify my address, typically I input the security code on the back of my card and I'm off and running for a few more weeks. Today, it has begun sticking in an endless loop where it appears to work, but doesn't.
The worst part -- all I was trying to do is update two free apps.
---POTENTIAL SOLUTION---
Read from a post here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3040836?start=0&tstart=0 to try and reformat the address -- it appears perhaps they have increased how similar they must be to the back. Changing SR to State Route fixed the problem for me, and I'm updating now!

Extract email address from html

Hi,
I am trying to extract "email address" from an html output query. How would I do that?
I am on CF9.
example:
Query col1:
<html><head></head><body>today they emailed about it from (mailto:[email protected]) ...hello there and here</body></html>

Argh! No!
God I hate it when people knock together a regex like this and go "Look! Email address validation!"
Before one starts down this road, one should read the RFC (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322, summarised here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address).
Your own regex fails my spamtrap email address (for example: [email protected]), because you've forgotten that a + is a legitimate character in the local part of an email address. Along with a bunch of other completely legit characters.
Reading on through the RFC you will realise than ANYTHING is valid in the local part of an email address, provided it's quoted (double-quote being another character your regex doesn't accept).
If someone doesn't want to give you their valid email address, they won't. I can give you [email protected], and that will pass. If I do want to give you my address, you should make sure your code will actually accept it!
I can understand wanting to make sure the punter doesn't key their email address in incorrectly, but your method doesn't help here. It'd pass [email protected], despite the fact that it should be [email protected] "Close" is not good enough in these cases.
The only sensible way of doing this is to ask them to type it in twice. This will assist people who don't just roll their eyes and copy and paste what they typed in the first box into the second box, wondering why you're wasting their time. So a typo will be transferred, so it's no help.
If you really want to get a person's email address, deprive them of something until they respond to an email that you end them. At the email address they specified. Because they actually don't mind you having their email address. This only works if you're not simply trying to harvest email addresses for your own benefit, and not the benefit of your subscribers.
Bottom line: email address is a mug's game, and one not often played by people who know the rules.

TS3276 I a getting numerous email msgs. addressed to an incorrect address, and when bouncing them back they come back to me saying sender can't be found. What is going on?

I am getting numerous emails posted to an incorrect address. When I bounce them back, they fail and the message is that there is no such sender. What is going on?

If you are receiving emails then your address is in the list of recipients. Perhaps in a blind carbon copy field or in a group of recipients. It may appear to you that you are receiving these emails in error but you are not.
This is a ploy of spammers. They include a long list of recipients in a hidden list and use some unsuspecting or incorrect from address. You are not accomplishing anything by bouncing these emails. Either you are bouncing them to a non-existent address or you are bouncing them to an innocent person who is wondering why they are receiving your bounced email.
Just igmore the emails. The spammers will move on.

One more time...Incorrect Address message

Just joined so messed up my first post.
Recently I've been getting an "Incorrect Address" drop down message when I try to buy music from the iTunes Music Store. I haven't changed any of my billing or credit card info at all but continue to get this message:
"Incorrect Address
A vaild address is necessary to purchase using store credit. Click on Billing Info to go to the address page and correct your address."
I've re-entered my info many times...no help. I've even opened new accounts with different credit cards...no help, I continue to get this message.
I've sent emails to Apple support, they've told me that it may be that my bank has a different address so to check with them, I did, they don't. They've also recommended that I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, I did, no help.
Does anybody and Apple want me to be able to buy music? I'm getting pretty tired of the whole deal.
Here's hoping,
Rib

See my suggestion in your other thread. Hope it helps.

"Incorrect address" error message when attempting to make a purchase

I am now suddenly getting "incorrect address" when I try to make a purchase on iTunes. Why?? I have been purchasing items with exactly the same info for months. HELP!

POSIBLE SOLUTION, PLEASE READ!!!
I changed my billing address entering the original address used when creating the Apple ID, and it went fine for me. Try it if you have changed your billing address from the original address used to open the Apple ID.
Previously my IPHONE was giving me strange messages about ID confirmation when downloading stuff, but it still was downloading after all. Today, after updating itunes version, I noticed the same issue you all are experiencing. After reading the suggestions related to change the address to the exact info as the credit card, it just clicked me. I'd removed my credit card about two years ago. I've being using itunes gift cards. Also, my current billing address is different from the one used to open the Apple ID, about 5 years ago.
