Problems with New iPhone connecting to wireless at home

Hi everyone,
just got back from the Apple store in Bristol ( UK ) where I had my 'old' iPhone exchanged for a New one because of some problems.
Anyway I get home and I am 'trying' to get my iPhone on to my home wireless ( which is protected so have to 'add' the phone to the accept list ), the problem is when I try to add the iPhone I keep getting a 'error' message telling me that the "MAC" address ( from the phone ) is not a MAC address.
I know where to look - 'About' - 'Wi-Fi Address and there is the Mac address ( 14:8F:C6:D9:9B:6D ) , so does anyone know what I am missing or doing wrong !!
I had no problem adding my 'Old' iPhone or anything else, iPads ( one a friends for when they visit ), iTouch, Macbook ect ;-(
Not happy at the moment.

Mail exchange problem with new iphone

My home button stopped working so I went to the store and got myself a new iphone under warranty (Thanks apple).
It is running version 4.3.4
Anyhow, when I got home and restore from backup, everything works beautifully. However, the only problem is that I can't sync my hotmail using exchange. My Gmail is set under exchange as well and it works fine.
I have tried the following but it didn't work
==============================
I deleted and re-entered the account info, though everything are 100% correct, I still getting the "Unable to verify account info.". If I save the profile and open "mail" the message "Cannot Get Mail" would pop up
Re-formating the phone doesn't work either
I installed EAS Default task timeout profile, which I found online and it didn't work either
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Basic troubleshooting from the manual is:
Restart
Reset
Restore

You can make an appointment with the Genius Bar if you have tried these and they have not worked. If they determine your iphone to be defective, they will replace.
You can also call 800-my iphone for assistance.

Problems with new iPhone Texting

My husband and I have new iPhone 4s. He can only receive text messages to an old email address (not his new email address or current phone number) I tried to add his new email address but in Settings, Messages he does not have the field titled "Receive At" like I do on my phone. In fact he also does not have "Send Read Receipts" or Send As SMS" Can any one help !! Thanks!!

Turn iMessage on on his iPhone.
Settings -> Messages -> iMessage -> Switch to on

Problems with new iPhone

Hi, I hope someone can help.
SO I finally bought an iphone on pay as you go. Set it up including syncing eMail and Calendar from Google through the Microsoft Exchange settings following googles intructions.
I then switch the phone off, using the red slider. When I switch it on in the morning it takes ages at teh apple logo and then tells me I need to plug it into iTunes. The phone has been activated.
I got home plugged it in and it all started working fine. Then when I powered off again over night the same thing happened but this time when connecting to itunes I am told itunes cannot connect to any content on the iphone and a factory restore is required.
Selecting to continue with this, it down loads the latest software and then starts preparing the iphone for restore before erroring saying iphone could not be restored unknown error (1602)
Please help I have only had the phone 48 hours and am not happy!

About the freezing, When i first bought my iphone when they came out I got a phone that after going to sleep or idle it would just freeze and i would have to hard boot the phone to come back up. I took it back to the store and they gave me a brand new phone. It was within the first 2 weeks that i purchased it. If your after your 2 weeks i think they will make you send it back to them so that they could look at it and repair it.

Problem with the iphone connecting to the satellite

hi
i have iphone 3GS with OS 4.0
i've installed waze + igo (navigation apps) from appstore.
the problem i have (with both) is the gps connection keeps fail and i keep get the message "No GPS signal". with both apps.
but its not entirely no signal but partial cause he knows where i am sort of just the navigation is fail.
i tried to reinstall both apps\restart the iphone or whatever can help and nothing helped
im keep getting this error and im using the gps daily cause im working as driver so i need it kinda urgent.
does anyone ever had this\know how to fix it it will be much appreciated
regards
Morphey.

You should also check for share online settings and e-mail settings whether it is set to check time and again or manually, if you are not much of internet user thru device its better to delete all the service provider access points and if u need it some time u can get it from ur provider later, that would never incur you any data costs as the device never connects to internet without an access point.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

HT201269 Problems with new iphone

Hi, I've recently upgraded to an iphone 5s. It has the latest software and I have just installed the latest itunes. However, when i try to sync the new phone it says "This iphone cannot be used becasue the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes then install itunes again". Can anyone explain this as I have the latest software on both!

Where are you seeing this message, on the phone or the computer? See this support document about removing and reinstalliing iTunes on a Windows computer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Follow those instructions completely, as doing it a different way could prove to create more problems. After that, try the sync process again.

If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.
