Cannot send pictures through Messages (OS X)

Hi,
I have a new macbook pro and OS X.
I used to send pictures and messages to my friends iphone with Messages from my Macbook.
I just tried this again and while I can send messages succesfully, I cannot send any pictures. I get the error "0742xxx cannot accept file transfers".
It did use to work just fine, I have no idea why it doesnt anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks

HI,
If the 0742xxxx is a partial phone Number it may pay to list it in your Contacts Address Card as an International number.
If it works on an iPhone as the Phone number for them it is obviously local to your country and you probably need to add the Country Code.

Hey lozza567,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Issues with sending and receiving MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
- An iPhone 3G or later.
- iOS 3.1 or later.
- A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
- A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
- A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
9. Restart your iPhone.
10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
11. Reseat your SIM card.
If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Cannot send pictures through imessage with new iphone 5s?

Since I upgraded from the Iphone4s to the Iphone5s I have not been able to send pictures through imessage? Anyone experiencing the same problem or know how i can fix this? I looked under messages in settings and made sure everything was turned on.

I had this issue and resolved it with a hard reset. Holding sleep button and home button at same time until phone reboots.

Cannot send picture messages, tried resetting network settings still nothing

Have you checked with your carrier to make sure that your account is properly set up? Do you have MMS turned on in settings? Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging>On. Do you have an active data connection?

Cannot send pictures through text.

My phone carrier is Verizon, and for some reason anytime I send photos to my friends as a text message, it never sends. I know it's not my friend's fault because they also have an iphone and they can send photos through text messages. I have the "MMS messaging" option on and "Send as SMS" option on and still wont send. Is it just my phone or is it because of Verizon?

It's almost certainly because of Verizon. Your plan may well charge more to allow MMS. Check with them and make sure you plan allows MMS.

Cannot send pictures through PSE 10 email system

Photoshop Elements 10, Windows 7
I've looked through many support question/answer sessions trying to figure this out.
Still receiving message "error trying to save message to outbox".
I don't have Microsoft Outbox or a Live account.
I do have a gmail.
Went through the verification procedure and received and sucessfully entered the verification code.
After clickind "Send", I am still receiving the message "error trying to save message to outbox"
Why is it trying to save anything to outbox?
Under Preferences > Sharing > Email Settings > Email Client... It shows Adobe Email Service
I haven't used this service for a while. It use to work fine with my AOL account listed in "email settings".
When it didn't work today, I switched my email address to my gmail email address, went through the verification procedure, etc.

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages?

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages and I cant turn off imessage because I cant see anything on the screen. Help?

Then the bottom of the support document states that if you do not have access to the device (which unfortunately because of the screen issue you do not) to contact Apple Care. That is what you need to do.

Hi,
I've recently gotten an iphone 4, and have started service with net10.
I've activated the data and can send/recieve text messages, but cannot send picture messages.
I already called the net10 hotline, and they told me to contact you the manufacturer for assistance.
Please let me know what I must do.
Thanks!
