Can't share contact via texting on my iphone 4s

I can no longer share a contact throught texting. I can only share a contact by emailing.

Go to Settings /iCloud/ and then click on Account.  Re-enter your password.
Turn iMessage off and then back on by going to Settings/Messages and sliding the toggle off and on.
Then go to Settings/iTunes & App Store and click on your Apple ID and re-enter your password.
Turn the iPhone off and then turn it back on.
Retry sharing the contact.
The above steps resolved the issue for me.

  • Why can't I 'share contact' via text on my iPhone 4S?

    No problem receiving them but when I try sending one, the message fails :(

    No try resetting your network settings, this will delete any saved Wi-Fi network passwords that are on the phone at the moment, but all you have to do is go back into your phone and enter the network password. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • Share contact via text mesage

    Hi there,
    I'm having some trouble sharing Iphone contacts via text message. When I go to any contact in my Iphone and hit the "Share Contact" button, rather than bringing up  "Message" or "Email" pop-up it goes straight to open a new email with contact in the in the body of the email as .vch file and sending it from my default email address. This has worked for me in the past, I don't know what has changed.
    I'm using Iphone 4 OS 6.
    I've tried whole lot of different thing but still the same.
    Any suggestions please.
    Cheers
    Aman

  • Photos get stuck in outbox; can't share contacts via email

    When I try to email a photo from one of my albums, it gets "stuck" in the (gmail) outbox. I have to go into the outbox and send again or it stays there indefnintely. Also, when I try to "share" a contact via email, it also gets stuck in the (gmail) outbox, and also needs to be manually sent again, and when it arrives, there's no contact information. Otherwise everything appears to work fine.

    The same occurs with all accounts, or with one account in particular?
    Even weirder is that I can forward these messages but can not send them.
    Forward these new messages from where? You can forward a received message or a message that was successfully sent which will be located in the account's Sent mailbox, but you can't forward a newly composed message.
    Even worse the outbox doesn't show up at all on my mac when i sync, so these messages are stuck in my iphone somewhere in limbo.
    Email account mailboxes and messages and the iPhone's Outbox are not included with the iTunes sync process. Server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, but the Outbox mailbox with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's Mail application is not synced with anything.

  • How can I share contacts with Android users via the "share contact" button via messaging or otherwise

    Appologies in advance if this has been asked before.
    I have an iPhone 5/iOS 6. My friend(s) use Android phones. At times, they request a contact I have, but every time I select "Share Contact" via the button in my iPhone's Contact list, either as an Email or Message, they recieve an unusable file format - in other words, it just doesn't get to them. If I manually copy and paste the fields into a txt, they will get the info. Is there an app, or something I need to do differently to be able to share contacts with Android users via the "Share Contact" button in iOS?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Shouldn't be an issue here, as the iPhone shares the contact info in standard vCard format.

  • My old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc.

    my old computers broken so i want to update using another but im afraid of losing all apps, i get a message saying because this isnt my computer I can only transfer contacts and texts etc. how can i make it copy everything?
    cheers!

    The iPhone is NOT a storage device so it does not support transferring it's data to another iTunes library.  You can transfer purchased iTunes music and apps, but any music you ripped yourself or purchased from somewhere else cannot be transferred without purchasing some additional 3rd party product.
    Certainly in this digital age, everyone is backing up their important data, right?  You can take the backup copy of the data on your broken computer and load it into your new one.

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • Q10 - can't share pictures via Whatsapp!

    Somehow I can't share pictures via Whatsapp (locations for example work fine)!
    When I try, the screen goes black and I can only hit the cancel button... Just reinstalled Whatsapp from scratch to no success... very frustrating!
    Any hints or similar experiences??
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Solution found! You have to give the Whatsapp-App access to your pictures, music, etc.
    Now it finally works!

  • Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?

    Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
    The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.

    Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
    Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.
    http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-a-Hotmail-Account-on-an-iPhone
    Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
    To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5.
