All text messages deleted after trying to send a picture message

I was trying to send a picture message from my camera roll when the screen went black with the Apple logo. My iPhone reset and then the lock screen appeared. I opened my text message app and all my messages were gone. Is there a way to recover my messages? They are very important and I need them. I have the latest firmware and I backed up my iPhone a few days ago

Has anyone experienced this situation with their text messages?

Error message when trying to send a picture message (multimedia)

I am unable to send picture messages and receive "Can't send message right now. There are too many unsent multimedia messages." I tried to upload pictures to print thru the Walgreens app, after becoming frustrated with the application I canceled the upload. I've been having trouble sending messages ever since. I've tried to clear all running applications in the Task Manager, and checked the Multimedia message limit through my Messaging Settings and increased the limit. I can't figure out how to clear the unsent multimedia messages, can anyone help? Thanks!

Was your 3G data connection active when you were trying to send the pictures? Have you tried to send picture to yourself? Dial *228, option 1 to reprogram the phone to the Verizon Wireless network?

I get a "Network Authentication Failed" when trying to send a picture message...any suggestions?

My daughter has a Samsung Intensity II and whenever she (or I) try to send a picture message from it, we get "Network Authentication Failed". I have tried calling *228, option 2, but that did not resolve the problem. Any other suggestions out there?

Try *228, option 1 instead to reprogram the phone. Option 2 just updates the roaming list.
Are you in an extended coverage area? You should be within a native Verizon Wireless coverage area when reprogramming the phone.

My iMessage does not appear to be working. Every time I go to reply to an existing message it just appears as normal text. I have tried to create a new message but it still just defaults to normal messages. I have checked my settings but looks ok. Help?

Try the following:
In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume.

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

Error message 1 after trying to restore iPhone 4, after upgrading it to iOS 5

I keep getting error message 1 after trying to restore my non-jailbreaked iPhone 4 after trying to upgrading it to IOS 5. The phone only displays a picture of the iTunes logo and a USB cable. I have tried everything I could find on the internet such as holding the homebutton while connecting the phone to iTunes, restarting the computer, switching computers, restore with another cable, take out the simcard etc. It works fine until the verry end, that's when I get the message. Please help!

Try downloading the 3rd party application called "Tiny Umbrella". While it isn't a software distributed by Apple it will be able to kick your iPhone out of the boot loop.
Mac OS X download, click here.
Windows XP/Vista/7 download, click here.

I am trying to send pic via messaging but the pics won't got thru!

I have been trying to send a picture via text but it will not send. This has happened for a while, anyone know how to fix it.

Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On... and try again.
If no joy... Conntact your Carrier and check your phone plan.

E72:Problems after trying to send 2 MB attachment ...

Hello,
I was trying to send 2 pictures(total size abt 2MB) as an email attachment using my IMAP mailbox and mail reached outbox, but it never sent out. Since this attempt my mailbox behaves wierdly and does not sync emails properly. So I removed the mailbox and I set it up again. Still there are few issues with sync but atleast emails are coming & going.
Also I tried again to send a very small size file as an attachment but in the compose email screen when I do attach the file, nothing happens and it automatically comes out of the mailbox. The email is saved in drafts folder with no attachment . can someone confirm if attachments are support by E72 email client ?
I am on 031.023 FW and I have set up email using 'Other' option in the Set Email wizard.
Appreciate any inputs
Thanks
Venks

My experience with the E72 that it's not an e-mail wonder.
Sending mail can be very slow.

Everytime I open Photos app, iPhone 4 tries to send a picture email.

Address isn't filled out but it is using a pic that isn't even the latest pic taken and now I have deleted all traces of that picture and it still pops up. Not necessarily super important, but it is annoying having to click cancel, then delete draft every time I wanna see a picture. Also checked drafts already, empty. Any ideas?

SEEMS TO BE FIRST CASE OF THIS GLITCH, SOLUTION AT BOTTOM!
I feel bad because I can never remember the names of the people I talk to at customer support but thank you to the very nice lady who helped me. (Rita?, Lisa? Linda? Sorry!)
Anyways, she said it was the first case of this she had seen as well (chalk it up to early adoption) so she had to ask higher ups, not something I think anyone enjoys doing, and refused to have me take "just restore" as an answer.
The suggestion of deleting the email account that was being used by the glitch to try sending the email, then re-adding, worked!
Details: Gmail account that was added under microsoft exchange for push support.
Had already deleted all instances of that picture on phone, then all instances on gmail and mobileme accounts by her suggestion, yet it was still popping up instantly when Photos launched. Still not sure where that was cached.
Anyways, looks like this is the first case of this. I tried calling back to thank her, but apparently we had gone past closing time while on the phone (hope you got some overtime!)
So if you ever read this, thanks from Javier @ 707,
SOLUTION:
Delete email account being used by the "glitch" when it tries to send the picture email, check to make sure it's fixed. Took a few tries for me but finally cleared up without reboot or anything. Then just re-add the email account.
In this case it was a Gmail account but set up under Microsoft Exchange to use Push. I also had a mobileme account attached but not for email. So other accounts shouldn't matter if not being used for email. If you have multiple email accounts being used for email, just find out which email is being used to actually send it by letting it send the picture. Then delete accordingly. Re-add.

Sending a picture message

*Can you send a picture message from the iPhone?*

Tamara wrote:
Yes, you can. You would use the email feature of the iPhone.
The easiest way to do this is have a friend send a picture message to whatever email address you are using on the iPhone. This will give you their "MMS email address". Just attach a pic to email and send it to that address.
I think this is dependent on the phone, and not all are capable of receiving attachments in this manner.

Why can't I send a picture message to an email on a computer?

Ever since the update, I can't send picture messages from my phone to my computer, but I can send them from the computer to the phone with no problem. what is the problem?

Problems with sending/receiving picture messages

Does anyone know how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S? I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?? Any help appreciated.

Can you send/receive SMS's? If so, and you can't send/receive MMS's, and MMS is turned on in Settings, 99.9% of the time the problem is on your carrier's end...most likely MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, regardless of what your carrier is telling you. Call back & have them remove MMS from your account & then re-provision your account for MMS.

I cannot send a picture message to non apple devices

I have an iPhone 5s. The issue with messaging is that I can send iPhone users pic messages, and them to me (with wifi or data on) but non iPhone users can send me a pic, which I receive, but I cannot send a pic to them. I can text to non iPhone users fine, it's just the image that won't go through.
Obviously I can use Apples service, but obviously not Verizon's? And I don't mean their app.
Be aware that I have done a network reset and have checked to make sure that MMS is turned on and on top of that I have 4 addresses that are stored for sending and receiving.
Thank you!

@wastudent
I want to ensure you're able to send and receive, picture messages from non iPhone users as well as iPhone users!
When did this problem begin? Have you been able to send picture messages to other non iPhone users in the past? Do you get an error message when you attempt sending a picture message? Please let me know so that I can further assist. Thanks!

I have a samsung glaxy S III and I cannot send mms/picture message.

I cannot send MMS/picture message and I cannot send picture message through facebook too. Please help me I have check the use packet data from mobile network.

If you were trying to send them over Wifi, that may be the reason. For mms, you have to use the network data connection, it won't work on Wifi.
