Letter count when SMS-ing. Update or allready usable??? Please reply!

I wondered if the Iphone could get a Letter-counter when SMS-ing? It would be really great if I could see how many letters when I am SMS-ing, because I don’t want to waste a SMS's airtime because I was out with one letter.
If this isn't yet available on the phone can you please put it on the next update?
Thanks allot for your hard work

I don't think that is a definite way to determine if a text will be sent as one or two messages. A standard text message (well at least in the UK) is 160 characters including spaces.
It you type a upper case W then it takes up much more space than a lowercase l.
I just tried it and could only get 56 W's on four lines but I can get 240 l's on four lines.
So just be careful if texting in your country is also restricted by the number of characters sent as you may well go onto two messages if you rely on the four lines suggestion.
I would personally love to see a character counter and would suggest you send feedback to apple and hopefully this feature will appear in a future firmware update.

  • Invalid contact details when SMS-ing

    Hi
    I have a Nokia N8. When I send a text message it comes to some problems. When I enter the desired contact from the phonebook and click send it says to me "Inavlid contact details: (and a contact name).
    But when I directly enter the number no problems appears. 
    Then, the message does not come in the form of chat when I have corresponded with one contact. I have to get out the message that I got that to be able to responded to that message. So sent and received mess. are not in the same chat. ( except those when I directly put the number in).
    I hope there is a solution to this problem and sorry for a long post.
    Thanks

    I'm having a Nokia E7-00, and m also facing the same problem...... plz suggest a way out.......... it's real messy.....

    Hello richvasmc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    When going to update it says there is a billing problem with the previous purchase when I go to update it still won't let me download and all the info is correct. How do I fix this?

    You have to email iTunes Store Support about this issue now. You can get started here. Change the country in the upper right if necessary.

    That's because the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps that came preinstalled on the Mac all belong to the previous owner. The previous owner needs to call Apple care and have their Apple ID disassociated from the Mac. Then the hard drive needs to be totally erased and OS X and the iLife apps reinstalled using OS X Recovery.

  • I have successfully created a new Apple Id. But when I am trying to update my apps on my iPhone5C, the old Apple Id is appearing. Please let me know how to update?

    You should be able to log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with your new account.
    Any content that you downloaded with your old account will remain tied to that old account, so only that account can potentially redownload them and/or download updates to its apps. You should be able to reset the password on an iTunes account via http://iforgot.apple.com e.g. by answering the account's security questions.

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Or If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk.

  • TS1702 I am getting an unknown error when trying to update or purchase apps from the apps store. This is new, after the new OS update. Help

    Hi, I get this unknown error message, twice when trying to update or purchase new apps. It was working fine, then just stopped. I changed my password, but that hasn't worked. Help!

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    1. Settings>Store>Apple ID.
    2. Tap your ID and sign out.
    3. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
    4. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time"

    When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time".. does anyone know what i can do to fix the problem???

    Try to sign out of iTunes. Then reboot your iPad (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, when you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot) then sign back into iTunes and see if you can download the app.
