My iPhone won't work safari says invalid address

Hi I just got my replacement phone from Assurion. It is a brand new not refurbished iPhone 4. It does not have the ios5 upgrade. I can not get my iTunes account linked up and the darn Safari is not working so that every time I try to get an app or look something up it pops up with safari can not get there because the address is invalid. When I try to download apps thru the store it pops up with this device does not support (fill in the blank) only devices with iOS 5.0 support this download. So I'm gathering that every one of the million people out there who haven't upgraded their phones is SOL?? I don't have Internet at home, I use my iPhone as my hotspot so I can't plug into my laptop to sync my iTunes account properly. Verizon is no help at all. Short of driving over an hour to go to the apple store what can I do? I could have a prepaid pc of junk just to make phone calls but I now have a $600 doorstop. Please help!!

Contact your carrier.

  • Whenever I log in to mum's airport wifi (it has wep) after a few hours it won't work and says connection timed out. The wifi and airport also is invisible to mum's macbook ***?

    whenever I log in to mum's airport wifi either with my iphone or macbook pro (her aiport express uses wep security) after a few hours it won't work and says connection timed out. The wifi and airport also is invisible to mum's macbook which means she can't login. If I plug her computer or mine direct into her virgin modem - it does work...  I can't even find her express in airport utility to reset it  any ideas what is going wrong?

  • I downloaded the newest version of iTunes and now my iPhone won't work.  What should I do?

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now my iPhone won't work properly.  What should I do to try to fix this?  Should I uninstall the new version and if I do, what version should I install.  I am using Windows 7 and iPhone 4S.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    They are different problems because I doubt that iTunes has been able to modify Mail, that has nothing to do with iTunes.
    As you are running 10.7.4, download and install OS X 10.7.5, the most recent Lion version > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1582 After installing the update, you should be able to run Mail

  • When downing an app on 3gs phone it says invalid address . worked one day not the next

    When trying to download apps on 3gs phone it says invalid address . It worked one day not the next day . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Roger,
    Welcome to the Apple Dicsussion Pages.
    The Alcatel Speedtouch 585 proabably has version 5 firmware on there. I see form your post you know what the problem is.
    This can be the problem.
    Earlier modes in the 500 series had Firmware versions 3 and 4 which meant you could telnet into them form the Terminal Application and Unbind SIP from port 5060.
    This is what is causing the problem.
    The symptoms are a starnge pattern of succss and failure.
    A small group you can contact all the time
    An equally small group of now and then success
    And a large group of Buddies that you can never get AV chats with.
    ibosie who posts here says he has been in caontact with Alcatel and that they are working on a Firmware update to get round this.
    At this stage another modem would be the way to go. (the 510 and the 580 can be Unbound)

    Open Activity Monitor by searching it in spotlight.
    Go to the app that you downloaded & quit it. If it won't quit then Force Quit.

  • Irish iPhone won't work with German simcard

    Irish iPhone won't work with German simcard! Can anyone help!? I bought it prepaid in Ireland with u2 but my German u2 card won't work in it?! Thanks for any advice!

    Yes, but they are different firms and O2 Ireland sell locked phones as far as I know so the german sim is not meant to work.
    From Apples site O2 Eire can unlock but not sure how well that would work if you are back in Germany now, as it usually needs to be active in the carriers country on their network.

  • My iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

  • I'm trying to share videos on you tube to google  but it keeps saying invalid address, but I can share to Facebook any answers? I've spoken to support but They are baffled.

    I'm trying to share videos on you tube to google  but it keeps saying invalid address, but I can share to Facebook any answers? I've spoken to support but They are baffled.

    Suggestions:
    Accessing Youtube in Safari:
    1. In the video screen, you will see 4 icons (thumbs up thumbs down plus sign and connected dots) choose connected dots and from there you will seeoptions where you'd like to share your video.
    2. In the address box (top of browser) tap twice to select all and tap again to copy the URL. Now you can paste this as link to any social media site.
    Other option:
    1. You can download youtube app from app store and use the app and follow step 1 above.

    I have set up a 'group' in my contacts.  When I go to send an email to this 'group', I get an error message saying 'Invalid Address'. What am I doing wrong?

    I have this problem too. I've always sent messages successfully via bcc to a group using a group email list in contacts. Now ... all of a sudden when I select the same group for bcc nothing happens! Cannot email my group now. Why not?

  • When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address

    When i try to set up an email account it keeps saying invalid address, why is this?

    Probably becaue you made an error in one of the required entries for the mail account.  It is very easy to make an error.  Rather than trying to find the error, many times it is easier to delet ethe account on the iPod and then recreate it.

  • Find My iPhone won't work from safari

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use "Find My iPhone" from safari 5.0 an MacOS X 10.6.3, but It doesn't work.
    The iPhone localization works fine, but if I try to use the "Display a Message" button, when I push the send button I get an alert window saying: "Your Find My iPhone session has expired. For security reasons, you have been automatically logged out of Find My iPhone. Your last action was not completed. Log in and try again. MobileMe requires you to log in to Find My iPhone every 15 minutes." and then I'm asked endlessly to login.
    I have emptied the cache and reset safari, but with no success for Find My iPhone.
    All works fine, instead, if I use Firefox.
    Moreover, If I switch user (to root) then "Find my Iphone" works fine from safari. But the installed plugins are the same for the two users. There are no plugins in "~/Library/Internet Plugins".
    What's the matter?

    HI,
    Find My iPhone" in the ~/Library/Internet Plugins folder.
    MobileMe / Find My iPhone *is not a plugin.*

  • Iphone won't work with airport express

    ok, so i've set up a wireless network on my airport express using my imac which has no trouble connecting to the network, however my iphone won't even detect that a network exists. my iphone has no trouble connecting to two unlocked neighborhood networks as does my imac. I set up my own network to be unlocked and have no security but still no dice, my phone still does not detect it. what am I missing?

    Hello zacmobile. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) the older 802.11g or newer 802.11n? If the 802.11n version, which radio mode do you have it configured for? The default for the newer AX is "802.11n (b/g compatible)". The the iPhone should work with this mode, but you have the option to change the AX to operate in one of the non-"n" modes, like "802.11g only."
