IPad, safari, enter a valid email address message

Every time I enter an email address on a website's form using my iPad, I get the message, "please enter a valid email address." Is there a workaround for this? It happens on EVERY web form I use-banks, airlines, etc

What might happen is that you have a space after your email ex: [email protected]
                                                                                                                                   *space

  • TS3212 You must enter a valid email address while reviewing new account information

    I have just recently set up an iTunes account.  When I try to go to the iTunes store I am receiving message that I have not used this ID yet and must review my info.  When I go to review my info it keeps telling me I must enter a valid email address.  What gives here?  Have been trying to get in for 2 hours.  Ridiculous!

    If you have been looking at these discussion pages for a while (even though you have only just created an ID for them), you would know that it's the question that needs to be asked.
    If you would have had the same problem as the original poster you would know that the question is valid. I have the sam problem and I know that there is no such valid email address that qualifies.
    If the (most obvious) answer to your question is yes, what is the contribution of your post to this topic? It would be nice to post the answer to both options. That is if you them.
    What you think is the possibility to try to fill the apple id field for two hours and not even by accident fill in a string that is a valid email address. Let me assure you that if someone tries to fill a field for two hours he will try everything that fits. Including an email address.
    Luckily I found a solution to this problem elsewhere although I don't know if it can be applied on a Windows machine. The solution I found was this:

  • When I enter my valid email address, I get an error message that it is an invalid email address

    I am attempting to set up a firefox sync account but cannot get past this first stage. The set up will not accept my email address

    Hi!
    Have you tried to finish typing the email address and wait for a couple of seconds? The validation takes a little time and it's not really clear. Ignore the message until you have introduced your email completely.
    If you are reusing the email that could be also a problem. Make sure the email address you are using is new and it hasn't been used for Firefox Sync before.

  • TS1672 I want to sync the 2 apple ids from my touch and ipad.  One of my email addresses is no longer valid but I cannot seem to change it.  Help

    hi, I have 2 apple IDs one for a touch and one for an ipad.  I would like to merge the two together but the first ID is connected to an email address I no longer use and cannot access.  Does anyone know how I can do this.  I get messages on my touch showing my old email address which I cannot alter.

    Try changing the password by using the security question answer vice respoonding to an email. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36
    When you can access the account yu can then change the email adddress.
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See How to change the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    If problems, contact iTunes.

  • Trying to rent movie from Apple TV. Message states a valid address is necessary to purchase. We have purchased about 15 show in the last month along. Any suggestion on how to update valid email address

    trying to rent movie from Apple TV. Message states a valid address is necessary to purchase. We have purchased about 15 show in the last month along. Any suggestion on how to update valid email address.

    I got the same error and can't get it to work.  My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes.  I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

  • Safari not recognizing my email address

    Safari is rejecting my email address and says it is not a valid address. I type in the same address running Firefox and I don't have a problem. Does anyone have a solution for me to get Safari to recognize my .mac email address?

    Hi,
    Quit Safari
    Open Keychain Access. (Applications/Utilities) Find the "Safari AutoFill" item. Delete it.
    Relaunch Safari. Next time it asks for authorization, click "Always Allow".

  • Campaigns - Hard bounces for valid email addresses

    I am getting hard bounces with 'Bad Mailbox Destination Address' for valid email addresses that everybody internally and externally can email without problem.
    Doesn't instill me with much faith for sending out 10,000 emails next week!

    If you can email that address manually from a regular email address and it goes through fine then it's likely you might be getting blocked by spam filters although usually that would be indicated in your bounce message.
    Is your site fully hosted on BC (ie - with BC's nameservers) or is your domain hosted via an A record to point to BC?  If you are being blocked by spam filters then you are likely using the A record because fully hosted sites on BC have the SPF records in place.
    If you are using an A record to point to BC's servers for your domain and manage your DNS records somwehere then you need to add a TXT record with the SPF data.  Goto your domain registrar and manage your DNS entries.  You'll want to add a TXT record with the following info:
    Record name: @
    Record type: TXT
    Record value: v=spf1 mx include:worldsecuresystems.com ~all
    Record TTL: 86400
    You can only have one SPF record on your domain so if you already have a TXT record with SPF data in it for other email services your domain uses (like gmail) you just need to update your TXT SPF record and add "include:worldsecuresystems.com" after the first "include" statement in the TXT record the TXT value would look like:
    "v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com include:worldsecuresystems.com ~all"
    If your problem is that your emails are blocked by spam filters that should fix it but I'm pretty sure 'Bad Mailbox Destination Address' usually indicates a non-existent or malformatted username in your email address (ie - the part before the "@").  I would also double check your subscribers list and make sure there are no spaces or any other invalid character in the email addresses for the customers that are getting bounced back.
    Here's more information about your specific error from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232118(v=exchg.80).aspx which has to do with MS Exchange server specifically but still provides a good explanation:
    5.1.1
    Bad destination mailbox address
    This failure may be caused by the following conditions:
    The recipient e-mail address was entered incorrectly by the sender.
    No recipient exists in the destination e-mail system.
    The recipient mailbox has been moved and the Microsoft Office Outlook recipient cache on the sender's computer has not updated.
    An invalid legacy domain name (DN) exists for the recipient mailbox Active Directory.
    This error typically occurs when the sender of the message incorrectly enters the e-mail address of the recipient. The sender should check the recipient's e-mail address and send again. This error can also occur if the recipient e-mail address was correct in the past but has changed or has been removed from the destination e-mail system.
    If the sender of the message is in the same Exchange organization as the recipient, and the recipient mailbox still exists, determine whether the recipient mailbox has been relocated to a new e-mail server. If this is the case, Outlook may not have updated the recipient cache correctly. Instruct the sender to remove the recipient address from sender's Outlook recipient cache and then create a new message. Resending the original message will result in the same failure.
    Other issues may cause this error, such as an invalid legacy distinguished name (DN) in Active Directory. Examine and correct the legacy DN of the recipient's mailbox. Then instruct the sender to remove the recipient address from sender's Outlook recipient cache and then create a new message. Resending the original message will result in the same failure.

    You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier.  Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security.  If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

  • I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

    I can't set up my email on my ipod touch.  It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account.  Help!

    Hi Annie,
    Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address.  If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up.  Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

  • "" does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.

    I am getting this error whenever I copy an email address from somewhere and paste it into the 'To' field.
    “” does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.
    Whattup with that?
    Only way to get around it seems to be either typing the whole address in (uh!) or clicking on the email address and letting Mail create the new message. Both are not the way I need to do things and it used to work perfectly in Snow Leopard, as would be expected for such a basic sort of command.

    I had the same problem with multiple adressess:
    I used the " ; "  as a seperator.
    The message was sent with no trouble at all as soon as I used the " , " (comma) instead.
    Hope this helps

  • Spry validation and validating email address?

    I've seen that spry can be used to validate forms. I have not
    seen an
    example of an email address or more complicated validating
    being done.
    Where's a good source for how to do this?

    Validating email addresses is not entirely possible. You can
    only validate
    the SYNTAX of an email address. This is best done server side
    rather than
    client side (or perhaps both ways) since validating only
    client side can be
    defeated by simply disabling javascript.
    I like the Spry validation, though, because it is EXTREMELY
    flexible and
    easy to use. David Powers has some very good discussions
    about Spry in his
    Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS. Ajax, and PHP book, as does David
    McFarland in his
    Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual.

  • Validating email address - please help?

    hi,
    i have registration form in jsf, and i have a field for an email address, i was wandering if anyone knows how to validate the email address, when this is submitted to a javabean, to make sure it is an actual valid email address and that both email addresses ( re-entered ) entered are the same.
    so what i really want is the javacode for the javabean that can validate the email address to make sure it is valid.
    any help is appreciated
    thanks.

    Here's how I did a Postal code validation:
    public void validatePostalCode(FacesContext context, UIComponent toValidate, java.lang.Object inputValue) throws
    ValidatorException {
    Pattern pattern;
    String expression = "\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}"; // x9x9x9
    String value = null;
    try {
    value = inputValue.toString();
    pattern = Pattern.compile(expression);
    this.postalCodeValidationError = !pattern.matcher(value).matches();
    } catch (ClassCastException e) {
    throw new ValidatorException(
    new FacesMessage(
    "Validation Error: Value " +
    "cannot be converted to String.",
    null));
    if (this.postalCodeValidationError) {
    // Here you do what ever you want when the validation fails
    // Like generating an error in JSF ... see ValidatorException
    On your JSP page add "validator="#{yourBean.validatePostalCode}"" to your inputText tag.
    It would be a good idea to read on Java's regular expression stuff to fihure out the expression you need to pass to Pattern.compile(expression) in order to validate the email address.
    Hope this help. Cheers
