Blank message when I send a video via a text message

I got a replacement iPhone 4s last week.  Whenever I try and send a video (shot using the phone) via text message, the recipient (who uses an iPhone) gets a blank message, but are able to get pictures?  Do I need to check certain settings?

I would say the carrier is compressing the file to send. Since the two of you are on Verizon, they might not do it on their system, but when they cross systems, (AT&T) they compress for reducing bandwidth. Why don't you send via iMessage?

  • When I send a photo via a text message...

    When I send a picuture via a text message using my iPhone 5, the text message contains all the photos that I have sent/received from a particular person.  Is there a way to stop this so that I only send one picture at a time?  I do not think I should have to send a text message that contains multiple pictures every time I send a picture to that same person.

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    Well, there are several things that can cause the device to reset.
    One, corrupted data. If you have corrupted data on the device, when trying to access it, it can and most likely will, cause the device to reset.
    Two, Low memory. If the device has low memory, the device will operate slow and most likely reset because it doesn't have a lot of free space. The free space remaining on the device is it's thinking room you could say. The smaller the thinking margin, the more likely it will not perfrom correctly. Best way to fix memory issues is to get an SD card and save all media files to the SD card.
    Three, incompatible software. If there is incompatible 3rd party programs installed on the device this can cause several problems. Resets, missing data, and other functions not performing correctly.
    The best thing I can recommend you do is a hard reset. A hard reset will erase all data on the device but restore all settings to default. Be sure to backup your data on a PC before performing a hard reset. For further information and instructions on how to do a hard reset go to kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the solution ID search field.
    I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

  • How can I send a home video via a text message?

    Hello,
    I had a video that I created on my camera and then transferred to my PC. Then I added it to iTunes Version 11. Then I converted it in iTunes from "Home Video" to "Movie". On my iPhone 4 (iOS7), I go to messages, hit camera icon and the video isn't there in my videos section. How can I move the video into the "Videos" section so that I can send this video via text message?
    Thanks!

    Hello Chris Miller,
    Of course I did. I certainly would not have suggested doing something I haven't tried to do myself. Would You? I wouldn't unless we are experimenting with something, but this is not the case here.
    I also mentioned to lexlizandtay to watch the filesize.
    Many ISP's have a 10 MB limit on sending or receiving emails.
    I also said in my above post "Works for Me"......
    I have a 3.8 MB Podcast that was downloaded straight from Apple. I can send this without any problems the way I mentioned above.
    I also have other podcasts that I made myself using GarageBand or Quicktime that work just fine.
    Give it a try.

  • My iMessage will send to other iMessage users, but when they message me back, their messages will only send to me as a text message! I have an iPhone and iPad, and they've been synched for a year now, but I just got a new iPhone 5c . What to do?

    Ok my iMessage will send to other iMessage users, but when they message me back, they can only send texts. I have an iPad and when I send iMessages to
    Them from there, they receive  them, but can still only text me back to my phone. They also sometimes receive messages from my iCloud email instead of my phone number.... When that happens, iMessage works. It's really annoying! Can anyone help.
    I got the iPhone 5c around Christmas and it's worked fine until yesterday!!! This has been going on 2 days now. I have reset iMessage, and the network settings. I've restarted my phone and iPad and they're both completely cleared of messages. I don't know what else to do.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

    I have one contact that I've been texting for months,  about 5 hours ago, I started receiving an error that the text was not sent.  However, if I text a picture and then text with the picture the message goes through.  Why am I getting this error?

    You can also try out few things >
    1) check if the ipod constantly appears in mycomputer section .
    - if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
    2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer
    you can try
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
    The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
    connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

  • I was trying to send a video via iMessage over wifi, but was only allowed to send a fraction due to the size limit. Does anyone know what exactly the limit is? Thanks!!

    You said:  "I've never tried the restore function in disk utility. Would that be the same as cloning the drive?
    YES!  See the my old instructions below.  What you might try after step 5 is to restart you MBP holding down the Option key.  Select the new HDD icon and see if it boots.  This way you will know that the new HDD is operable.
    Ciao.
    INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MB
    1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
    2. You will need a HDD enclosure.  One with a USB connection will do.  A 9 pin Firewire is better.
    3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
    4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE.  From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field.  Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.  Click on the 'Erase' button.
    5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top).  Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination'  field.  Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
      Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more.  A Firewire will speed up the transfer.  This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
    6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives.  Start the MBP and you have finished the installation.  The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
    7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

  • Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

    error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
    Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
    I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere?  I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp?   It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up.  I'm almost certain  it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
    I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
    Any help?

    You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
    Best of luck.

  • Keep getting not delivered message when I send a text

    I keep getting a not delivered message when I send a text.  The message actually does send but still very annoying. This started when I did the update. Any one have any fix ideas

    Try sending it as a regular text message... turn off iMessage.

    When I send mail, I keep getting this message.

    Hi there,
    If you have a closer look at message you are receiving it already states the problem. The domain 71-12-190-31.dhcp.leds.al.charter.com is blacklisted by spamhaus.org (is in an RBL).
    Your TB is (my guess) setup to send the message directly to the recipient.
    As a rule of thumb the majority of mail sent from a dynamic dns address (the kind of address you are getting from your ISP) is blacklisted as a precaution against spam abuse due to virus/trojan infected PC's.
    Nothing you can change there. Stop sending the message directly and use your ISP's account instead.

    when I'm looking at my recent text messages on my phone, and I'm on the screen where I see a list of people I have texted.  I click on a name to open up the conversation, however it is blank and doesn't show the conversation even though we've been texting back and forth the day before.  So my question is how can I see the conversation?

    Try the following procedure:
    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 get a 'blocked plug-in' message when trying to view video, such as youtube. I have updated adobe flash, and have enabled plug-ins - still doesn't work.

    Hey reslosson,
    The article linked below provides more information about the blocked plug-in alert that you are seeing and will walk you through the process of changing the security settings in Safari.

    When my brother send a video from his iPhone 4 Verizon) it come to me very small.  But when I send a video with my iPhone 4 (At&t) it comes out twice as large.  What is my brother doing wrong?

    what do you mean exactly by small and large. because iphone won't let you email videos with large sizes, it lets you to email just a sample of the video. if that is the case.
    on the other hand while sending pictures it will ask you if you want to use small, medium, large or the actual size for email purpose

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

    Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

  • I am having tremendous difficulty sending simple voice text messages, or typed text messages to non I-phone users. Picture text messages will not send at all and can only be sent to other i-phone users. Is anyone else haing this problem ??  Big concern

    Well this is stupid - I wrote the question above and now it is telling me the message is blank - how dumb is this.
    I am having tremendous difficulty sending sipmle typed texts, voice texts and picture text messages to non I- phone users.
    Simple text messages are sporadic and seem to be impacted by whether I incluse a subject or not - picture texts will not go at all.
    Anyone else having this problem ???

    It's a corporate phone so will need to check. Will not send text messages to non I-phones if they contain a "subject" or a picture.  Wierd - regular voice or typed text messages are fine.
