Can no longer send pictures in text that I once did. "Unsupported file type"

The other day my phone began saying I could not longer send pictures in MMS. Pictures I sent the previous week are now an unsupport file type. They are .jpg and .pngs. I have to take a screenshot of them all now, crop out the excess stuff, and then send them.

Taking a screenshot or cropping will tell nothing .mov or .wmv format for example looks the same, one is supported by Apple QuickTime the other with Microsoft Windows Media Player, it's all in the codec. What is the exact file type? Or in what format were they saved and with what?

After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Why can I not send pictures thru text to non apple phone users?

Since the IOS6.0.1 update to my iPhone 4 I can no longer send pictures through texting to friends and family who do not have iPhones. I have been to an apple store in hopes they could fix this problem and they can not.

Both of those are carrier features, contact your cell phone provider and ask them why.

I changed my phone number and people are still able to text me from my old number and i can no longer send picture messages, what should i do?

Since upgrading to iOS 6 I can no longer send pictures as attachments to text messages, why?

I upgraded to iOS6 and can no longer attach photos to text messages, why would that be? Also since upgrading I find that the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4s is now grayed out. Is this something to to with the upgrade or what? I am really frustrated by the glitches with this new iOS. It is very un-Apple like.

I recommend taking it into the store. Sounds to me like you have downloaded an app that has allowed itself to become the "primary" when sending and recieving images.... Apple is seriously dropping the ball!! Just the other day, I downloaded an app called v-downloader... Its an app that allows you to download videos through a 3rd party browser. Well what it did, was automatically place restrictions on my phone... I couldnt send pics, and it removed access to safari, facetime, messages, etc... so maybe try removing any recent app purchases. Also, I would reccomend that you restore your phone. it will redo the update off your computer and come through with less glitches
But I agree, iOS6 has been nothing but problems... I plan on removing the update when I get home

Can no longer send pictures via e-mail

I just realized no one is receiving my pictures anymore. I can find them in my "sent" file, then forward, but I can no longer click on a picture and simply e-mail it. Not sure how/why/when this happened. Help! Thanks!

In the iPhoto preferences, you can choose which email application you would like to use to send photos.
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Sounds like you're using Apple Mail, but if you have Outlook installed, you may very well be using that.
How large are the files you're sending? Some email providers cap the size of an email to 10mb, so if you're sending larger or multiple photos, that may be part of the issue?
Not sure though if they're sitting in your Sent folder...

Why can't I send picture on text messages

I can not send picture when I am texting can you help me fix that? Thanks!

A simple text message is different from a picture message - from both the cellular carrier's and the iPhone's point of view.
To allow pictures in messages on your iPhone, check Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging = "On".
Also make sure your cellular carrier allows it (generally costs more than simple text messages).

I can no longer send picture e-mails from my ipod. Why?

I use to be able to send pictures from the Photos app to my e-mail. Now when I try & send them, I never get them. I also tried sending them to the Facebook mail, but again- never get them. No error message pops up on my ipod. Any suggestions?

Oh my goodness! Thank you sooo much! This worked. I can now stop sending the business e-mails from my personal account - ha ha. Since you helped me with this, maybe you can help me with one more thing. I haven't been able to attach to e-mails in this account for quite awhile now, just been using a jump drive, since a previous automatic update. I didn't obsess over it due to the fact that I could still send e-mails. Any more help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
By the way, you also put it in terms I could understand. I'm not computer illiterate, just not as up to date as I should be. Step-by-steps help alot! :D

TS2755 why all of a sudden i can no longer send pictures? I get a red explanation mark

I have been sending pictures with no problems when all of a sudden my pictires won't send. It leaves a red exclmation point next to the message

Weyline 188,
I'm not sure what you mean by "no longer get Safari." Look in the Applications folder to see if Safari is there if it is then you have Safari. If you click on Safari it will open (assuming it's not open already) and it will go to the page you set as your home page which you may have set as Google. From there you can navigate where you want.
If you are having other troubles please write a more descriptive post so you are drawing a picture for us. Remember we can't see what you can.

Can no longer send or receive text messages

Hi, I'm new to this but here i go. I have a 3GS Iphone that has the latest update. Recently the plan i had was a family plan and just a few days ago i split the two phones that was on my plan to be two separate plans (accounts). The other phone that was on my plan texts and receives texts perfectly, but as for my phone i cannot. I compose the text and send it but it never reaches the person. Also people call me asking why i am not texting them back so that means i cant receive texts either. I restored my phone twice already, one i restored it as my original phone then as a brand new phone and i still cannot receive or send texts. I havent gone to an apple store yet because they are closed right now but if someone knows how to fix this please let me know. Thank you, i appreciate it.

Hi,
Initially it sounds like a setting with your carrier and the plan the iphone is on is not enabled for text messages by your carrier.
With the phone in a 'new' state and not working again indicates that it is probably a carrier issue.
Questions for you;
1. Was the iphone being used before the plan changed and was it sending and receiving texts fine then?
2. Did you receive a new SIM car for one or both of the phones when the plans changed?
3. If you swap the SIMs between the phones, does the issue follow the phones or does now the other phone have trouble with the texting?
If when swapping the SIMs the problem follows the iphone, then there maybe some problem with the phone.
If when the SIMs are swapped and the problem does not follow the phone, then the problem is with either the SIM or the carrier settings.
Hope this helps

How do I disable Smart Print? Since I enabled smart print this morning I can no longer send pictures

I enabled smart print this morning. Since then I am not able to send pic via my email to print. I received a message from HP's ePrint service saying printing has been delayed because the printer is turned off or not connected to the internet. I like the Smart Print option but I also like being able to print from my Iphone as well ! Is it possible to do both ?

I'm using a Presario desktop & windows 7.
I have done all of the steps suggested here - both the Bing bar program & the HP smartprint 1.0.9.0 are listed.
When I right click the command bar - The HP smartprint icon does NOT show up.
I don't see any thing that I can guess is the Bing Bar.
Help Please This has been going on for way to long!!!!!

After upgrading to ios7 i can no longer send pictures via whatsapp?

after i upgrading to ios7 i am no longer able to send media via whatsapp, is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

I did what I have been doing all along. I didn't have any problems until just recently. I went to camera roll, clicked on email photo, entered the address and sent. This has worked in the past but is not working now. I can send emails but I can't send photos. I have been having trouble on my computer with mobileme and not sure if this has anything to do with my sending photos on my iphone.
Thanks for responding and any help you can give. I will take a look at page 122 of the iphone ios4 guide.
