Text messages don't always send; I get a red flag message. How can I make them re-send automatically?

This drives me nuts: Occassionally, but not often, I will send a text message and it does not go through. This happens both when I am using iMessage or regular text messages. It gets me into a lot of trouble: I assume my text message has gone through, then check my phone half an hour later and realize the message has not been sent. I don't even get a vibration or a notice that it hasn't sent; it's only when I check my messages that I see the red flag but my undelivered message.
How can I get the iPhone to just automatically keep trying to re-send these messages until it goes through, or at the very least to give me a notification buzz when the message doesn't go through so I know to manually re-send it myself?

At this time that option does not exist. The only workaround that I can think of is to watch and make sure the text sends before closing the app.

    I had the same problem a year ago when I did an iOS upgrade. Now if I receive an important photo I save it to the Camera Roll
    No way I know of to retrieve them unless you have a very recent backup to restore from maybe?

    I did an internet search (Google) and found the following. It is from May (before the latest iOS update) so the look of some of the steps may vary slightly from the current iOS 7. http://osxdaily.com/2013/03/04/turn-any-voice-recording-into-a-ringtone-for-ipho ne/

    Ive deleted contacts from my contacts list but they still pop up when i go to text and type in the name of a current contact. .  How can i delete them off my phones memory for good? iPhone 4S

    At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new.  Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Are you using Mac Mail or internet based like Yahoo or GMail?
    If it's Mac Mail, with the Mail application open, from the Menu Bar click Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors. You will see Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash. Where it says Sent, do you have the button selected where it says: Store sent messages on the server. ???
    This from the Mac Mail Help Viewer:
    I can't find email messages stored on the mail server
    If you have an IMAP email account and you set the account preferences to store copies of messages (draft, sent, junk, or trash) on the IMAP mail server, you might experience situations in which your messages are not stored where you expected.
    When Mail attempts to store messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn't find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them. If Mail can't create them on the server, it can't store the messages. For example, Mail looks on the server for a mailbox called Sent Messages in which to put the sent messages. If Mail can't find a Sent Messages mailbox on the server, it tries to create one. If it cannot, it doesn't save copies of messages you send. You might be able to address this issue if there is another mailbox on the IMAP server (for example, Sent Items) that contains the messages you're looking for. You can have Mail use that mailbox to store its sent messages. To do so, select that mailbox (listed under the account's name and icon) in the Mail viewer window, choose Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and then choose Drafts, Junk, Sent, or Trash, as applicable. You can select any mailbox on your IMAP server to use to store draft, sent, junk, or deleted messages.
    If you change the account preferences to no longer store copies of messages on the mail server, you'll see that messages aren't where they used to be. To use sent messages as an example: If you were saving sent messages on the server and then change your settings to save those messages on your computer, the Sent mailbox will change to contain only messages stored on your computer; messages that were stored on the server will no longer appear in that mailbox. Instead, you'll see those messages are now located under the account's name and icon at the bottom of the list of mailboxes, in a mailbox called Sent Messages. Similarly, if you change from saving sent messages on your computer to saving them on the server, the Sent Messages mailbox will change to contain only messages stored on the server. You'll now see the messages that were saved on your computer in a mailbox called Sent Messages, followed by the account name in parentheses, such as Sent Messages (.Mac Account).

  • I got my ipod for mothers day my daughter put songs on it for me. I bought songs today and they didn't automatically sync to my ipod and if i go to sync it said it will delete existing songs i don't won't to get rid of my music how can i do this?

    I got my ipod for mothers day and my daughter as already put some songs on it  for me and I bought new songs from itunes and it didn't automaticlly sync to my ipod if i go to sync them it said all my music that is already on my ipod will be deleted. I don;t won't my music my daughter put in it deleted what can i do?

    You and your daughter want to enable homeshare in iTunes on BOTH of your computers. Mac or PC. Then you will be able to see your daughter's library. The songs you want to keep just drag to your own library. Then you can diable homesharing if you want. Hope this helps.

  • When an album has multiple artist how can you make them show up on an iPod Touch 4G? I can find an artist using the search function but they don't show up in the artist view on my iPod. iTunes shows them OK when you sort by artist.

    Tech support seemed to understand the question but had no answer. Why would an album with only one artist show the artist but an album with multiple artist not show any of them. The album art show various in iTunes. That makes sense but on my iPod I would expect to see all artists.

    Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

  • TS2755 I can see my daughter's text messages, how do I stop it

    I can see my daughter's text messages, how can I stop this from happening

    It sounds like you have the same Apple ID signed into both devices.
    You can go into Settings > Messages > Send and Receive at > Uncheck your daughters number and you will no longer receive those messages. Also make sure you uncheck her email address and on her device make sure your number is not selected.
    What happens in iOS 6 is any number that is signed into Messages with Apple ID allows that number to be available for all devices with that Apple ID signed into iMessage.
    iOS: About Messages: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
    "When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
