IPhone won't send pictures to email account(s)....

Not a question, just a statement. If you find that you want to send a picture from your phone to yourself or anyone else via email or text and it doesn't work and if you get the "cannot connect to server" message when you try and open your mail app, make sure you've updated the mail account password on your iPhone if you've changed it recently. Just a heads up...

How are you trying to send these photos?
Email? Airdrop? PhotoStream Sharing? Text message?

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.

Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today. Sends fine to some but not to others. What's up?

Like any electronic item, it sometimes gets inexplicably balled up. The reset is no different than rebooting a computer that is acting hinky. If you don't have to do it often, then it is not anythign to worry about. (I know - not the kind of tech talk you were probably expecting, but the words selected are about as scientific as you can get concerning this type of weirdness....)

Iphone6 won't send pictures to email contacts

I like to send pictures to my email contacts. Now with the new ipohne the pictures don't go through. I do everythng the way I always did on my old iphone but the pics won't go through.

So generally, and with my previous iPhone(s), I could email a photo via camera or photos by hitting the icon in the lower left, selecting the mail icon, entering a name into the to field and sending. The phone acts like normal, I hear the 'whoosh' when the picture 'sends,' but it is never received.
My email settings are fine; I can both send and receive email from the regular mail app as well as the gmail app. Additionally, I can manually attach a photo to an email and it will send normally. That said, this is an extra step (or two or three) that makes sending photos much less efficient.
Anything you can think of?

Iphone won't fetch contacts from email accounts

When I got and set up my iphone 4 it successfully important my contacts from two email accounts (Gmail and a Yahoo-connected label). But when I add new contacts on the computer, they don't show up on the phone. I've tried adjusting the "fetch" and "push" settings, but to no avail. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks.

Recieving email is no problem normally be that POP or IMAP based
However sending over 3G/Edge/GSM requires you to use the smtp address supplied by ATT to send over the mobile networks and NOT your ISP smtp.
You do however need to use your ISP smtp when at home to send over your Wifi.
When sending you may have better//more consistent results if you switch off any wifi connections and just use the ATT service to avoid having smtp conflicts.

My IPad 3G camera won't send pictures via email anymore?

I used to be able to email photos and now I can't.

No, they're all stuck in my outbox. When I go to the outbox, there is a message that pops up after awhile: Cannot Send Mail. The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect.
I'm not sure why it's adding the smtp-- I didn't have that in the email address.
Apparently, I'm supposed to log in somewhere, but not sure where/how to do that???

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. My aol account sends out my full name instead of using the email address. How can I correct this?

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. When I send mail from my aol account it sends my full name and not the email address acount. How can I change so my name does not appear and my user name appears?

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

How to paste pictures into email account signature

How to paste pictures into email account signature. I cannot get the pic to be visible. I have an iPhone 6 Plus

I think I got it to working, IMbatman13folllowing the directions from that thread.
I created a signature on my laptop. Included a png in it.

Opened it up on iPhone. Selected entire 'body'. Copied all.
Went into Settings, Signatures, Selected a different email account, pasted in what I had copied.
And it worked.

Help! I can't send pictures via email

Help! i've been trying to send pictures thru email, but it won't send even if im connected to a network

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please expand on your problem description..."it won't sent" just leaves too much room for guesswork to be useful. If you would describe exactly the steps you take and exactly the result of each step, that would help a great deal. Describe what you see on your screen as well, when you actually send the item. If there are any error messages, the complete and accurate text of those, including all punctuation, error codes, etc. would likewise help us to better help you.
Thanks and let us know!
