5s won't send photo or contact as message

My I-phone 5s will not allow me to send contacts as a message nor will it allow me to send photos as a message.  Both things cause the screen to freeze.  Could this be a problem in my settings or a mal-function with the phone.  It is only  a couple weeks old.

Yes to both questions. I would start your troubleshooting of the issue by attempting to restarting the device.
Simply press on the sleep wake button wait until you get the bar that reads slide to shut off. Once shut off restart the device. Write back here if this does not resolve your issue.
Good luck Friend.

    When you said you went to Settings and everything seems good. Does that mean the MMS was turned on? If so, and this is only being experienced when dealing with SMS/MMS, then you should contact your carrier to have them check to make sure your account is provisioned for MMS, and that everything is alright with your account. SMS/MMS is a carrier function.

  • Cannot send photo or contact as text message

    Running the newest update 8.1 (10/22/2014) on a iPhone 5S. I STILL cannot share a contact via text message. I STILL cannot send a photo as a text message when I select a photo directly from my camera roll/photo albums. I can send a photo in an EMAIL directly from the camera roll/photo albums, but not in a text message. I can start a text message and then click on the camera icon and attach the photo. I haven't been able to do this since iOS 8 came out.
    Sharing a contact and a photo via text messages were things I could do with iOS 7.  Anyone else having this problem?

    With iOS 7 you would open your camera roll or album, select the photo you wanted, click on send as a message, then it would take you to the text screen where you could see the photo being sent as it asked you for the recipient's phone. Now when I click on send as a message it takes me to the text screen, but as you can see, the photo is not attached. Same thing with a contact…I can click on "share contact as a text message" but when it takes me to the text screen, nothing is attached.

  • Messages app won't send photos

    I'm trying to send a photo to my iPhone via the Messages app on my Macbook Pro but it won't send. It keeps telling me the message failed. How can I fix this?
    I have the Macbook Pro from mid 2014 I guess, I got it from school. It's the one with retina display? I updated to the newest OSX and the messages app seems to be the only thing malfunctioning.

    Hi,
    Try zipping the file first.
    It does seem there is some sort of issue.
    It is somewhat random though.
    Some say it effects AIM conversations, some jabber and some other accounts like the iMessages one.
    Some say it effects Messages 8 in Yosemite to other OS version and earlier version of Messages or iChat.
    Zipping seems to work for AIM conversations.

  • Iphoto won't send photos by email?

    Although photos look as though they have been sent by email they are not in fact transmitted. can anyone help please?

    Apologies my message was marked MacBookPro (this appears to be highlighted in your reply - I am new to the discussions forum and didn't realise the protocol). I have an IMac 27inch and have made sure that the settings for Apple Mail match those of my MacBookPro are similar to my IMac. The Imac sends photos whereas the MacBookPro doesn't. Whereas AppleMail shows the photos as having been sent with my MacBookPro they are not shown in the in box if I copy them to myself.

  • Iphoto won't send photo

    Using iPhoto to send photos and the status bar completes and gives a message that 1 photo has been sent.  The photo NEVER arrives.  I've been on support calls with Apple, but no resolution.  The email address I'm sending from works fine in my mac email, but not in iphoto.  I've tried all of the possible outgoing mail ports but nothing seems to fix the problem.

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • My iphone4s won't send photos via text or email

    My iphone4s takes videos and pictures no problem and attaches them to an email or text message but they won't send even when I reduced them to their smallest size.

    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???

  • Am unable to send photos by email or message

    Unable to send photos by email or message

    Hi,
    Ok, adding your email address to my contact list didn't change anything.
    The good news is that your email from your gmail account did get through. It was marked as junk mail but when I declared it safe, the photo appeared.
    I looked into the message content for the ones that didn't work and I think the photo is actually still part of the data. It is as though the message header has been corrupted somehow. Since it happens with your service provider but not mine, it suggests that your service provider is perhaps corrupting the header.
    I'm not sure how we can get this resolved as the fault could be with Adobe, your service provider or other service providers.
    I think the workaround of using your gmail account is probably the best way to go.
    You do get a lot of snow there. I live in the UK on the south coast near Southampton. All I have seen is a very light dusting of snow and that quickly disappeared. There were a few local accidents due to the icy conditions. I supposed that the snow is part of your life there - for us it is an exception and so we are not prepared for it.

  • I have a brand new iPad newest version. Wifi. The messaging won't send out but I receive messages from others. What is wrong?

    I have the newest version of the iPad (3rd generation) with wifi. The messaging won't send out but I'm receiving messages from others when I'm using it. They also come through on my iphone at the same time. But I can't send them out on the iPad. I tried someone's suggestion of changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and that did not work to fix it. What is wrong with this thing?  Thank you in advance for your help.

    Are you trying to send a message to a cell number or an email address?  iPad does MMS, not SMS, meaning it can't send a message to a number.  It can send a message to an email address........

  • Iphone6/ios8 not sending photos via mail or messages

    I can't send photos from my iPhone 6. I have tried both Mail and messages. Nothing happens. The Mail window comes up and allows me to fill in the To address, subject etc. I can click on Send but nothing happens. The Photo doesn;t go into the outbox or the sent folder.
    The only thing I may be doing differently is I am not using iCloud to store my photos.  Any suggestions? (I already tried resetting my iPhone)

    Thanks for the mail forum tip
    Yeah, I use the Media Browser in Mail. It's just quicker, more convenient when in iphoto to use that function.
    Will post on the Mail Forum now, hope that helps . . .
    Thanks again,

  • Won't send photos

    My .mac mail will send emails just fine but when I try to send a picture file with it it says "error can not send message on this server" etc etc....
    Any ideas?
    (Happens on my MacBook and it may happen on my iMac G5 as well but I'm not sure.

    What type of internet connection - via wi-fi (wireless) with both computers, or via an ethernet connection thru a hub or router that is connected to a DSL or Cable modem?
    Have you ever been able to send messages with attachments with this internet connection, or is this a recent occurrence?
    This sounds like an MTU (maximum transmission unit) issue with your internet connection. The default MTU setting with OS X is 1500, which is the highest available. If your internet service provider specifies/requires a lower setting, not being able to send messages with attachments, or messages over a certain size with or without an attachment will be the result.

  • Gmail won't send photos

    Not working. I went to the Preferences in iPhoto, and put in the various info for my gmail account. It shows in the drop down menu. When I select a picture to email it says "The email server did not recognize the username or password combination". I did not attach "gmail.com" in the "user name" box. I copied the keychain entries for user name and password right from Keychain Access. I have gmail working in Mail, perfectly. Anyone know what is wrong? Thanks.

    figured it out!
    Open iPhoto
    Click the iPhoto menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen
    Click Preferences
    Click the General tab
    Next to "Email photos using"......have you selected the mail application that you want to use?
    Click the Accounts tab to verify that the settings for your mail application are entered here.
    the last step is crucial--my account info was incorrect in iphoto. so i fixed it and it works now!

  • IPhoto won't send photos via 'share-email'

    iPhoto has stopped sending my pix through 'share' 'email' -- Worked fine, just quit. All other email messages coming and going fine via 'Mail.'
    Dialogue box appears:
    "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.
