Why can't I use and in the email address on my iPhone?

When in email address input mode, on iPhone, the < and > are not available.  These characters are used to indicate an email address when a name is used as well.  For example....   John Smith <[email protected]>   This will add John Smith and his email address to my contact list, not on my phone, but in my email.  Please tell me this will be possible when iOS7 comes out.
Thanks,
Eric
For now, the only way to do this is to go to the body of the email, enter the info    John Smith <[email protected]>   cut and paste it into the email address location.

Thank you! That worked... I didn't even remember I had that app on the phone .

  • Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?

    Why can't I use my previous MobileMe email address instead of creating a new one?  When signing up for iCloud I'm asked to choose an email address [email protected]  I am already using an @me address via moblileme.  When i input that address it states that that address is already taken.  Try picking a new one.  I don't want a new one I want to use my mobileme address.  How can that be done?

    It appears you set up a new iCloud account rather than migrating your MobileMe account over to iCloud.  I migrated everything over this morning and am still using my old MobileMe email address.
    Check to see if you can migrate rather than open a new account.

  • Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library?

    Why can't I copy and paste the music from my iPhone on iTunes 11 to a folder in my Music Library? I want to have a copy of the music on iTunes so when I update to a newer version of iOS I don't lose my music. And no I didn't buy this music off iTunes and neither will I use iTunes Match.

    There has never been a function to copy anything from an iPhone and paste it to a computer.
    All of your media should be in iTunes already.
    If it is not and was purchased from iTunes, right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
    If the media is not in iTunes and was not purchased from iTunes, how did you get it on the device in the first place?

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

  • Why can't I use links within my email messages? When a link is clicked, nothing happens--it doesn't go to that specific website.

    HI Ana ...
    I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
    That's a different issue...
    First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
    Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.
    Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

  • When I click on an email link on a website it doesn't open my entourage mail, I have to cut and paste the email address in

    When I am looking at a website and it says contact us with an email address, in the past when I click on this my entourage 'new mail' page would open so I could contact them, but know that doesn't happen and I have to cut and paste the email address into entourage manually, sometime this is not possible becuase the website doesn't actually give the email address just a 'click here' option

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

  • Why can i NOT use "differential" on the MAX test panel for channels 8-16??

    I have a USB-6218
    This is a 32 channel device with 16 Differential inputs.
    Why can't i use the MAX test panel to view any channel beyond AI-7 using the Differential setting? It shades out differential even though my device has this capability.
    WHY???? 

    I am using MAX 4.1.0.3001 in conjunction with LV 8.0 and the USB-6218.
    I go to MAX, Expand devices, expand MX devices, Right click on the USB-6218 (device2), and go to the test panels.
    From there i am unable to view any differential pair beyond 8.
    How am i supposed to Thru-Calibrate my equipment? Generally to achieve a valid calibration i use MAX itself to record the raw voltages the board "sees" as i apply known loads to the sensors.
    The reason i need to check all this out is because DIFF pairs > 8 also are not working in my VI! Im am not sure if this is related or not.

  • Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

    My apple id is associated with a gmail address.
    I wan't to change it to something else.
    So I went to: appleid.apple.com ---> Change apple id ---> Typed in new email address (everything shows green) ---> Hit Save.-->Edit box disappears as if everything went ok ----> But the box showing my apple id, still shows the gmail address!
    It still shows my gmail address!! Doesn't send any verification email or anything! No matter what I do, it doesn't let me change it from my gmail address!
    It let me change my password though, and also let me change my rescue email address.
