Cannot sent photos via messaging

I have the Droid Charge, with the latest update (EE4). I've done a factory reset, hard reset/battery pull and just about everything else to solve this issue.
Messages being sent via the messaging client (text) with photos get hung up and I get an error message that the message failed to send. On occasion, the recipient says that the photo gets through; largely though, it doesn't get sent.
Anything else I can try? I have tried third party (handcent) messaging apps but have the same error.

Spoke to someone in the network engineering department who thought the issue was with the phone. Just got the new phone, set it up, and still have the same issues.
To recap. Photo (MMS) messaging works 90% of the time in 4G. In 3G or less, the phone hangs on "Sending," I get a general failure to send message and then the phone never closes the connection and continues to attempt to send the photo, draining the battery. Maybe 20% of the time, I get a general failure message and it goes through anyhow. If I attempt to send another MMS, I get "too many unsent multimedia messages" failure error.
Battery pulls have no effect on the phone's attempt to send the photo message, even hours later. This is a new phone, stock everything - I haven't even added my personal apps yet to see if it would work.
This occurs when the recipient is Verizon (tried on two Blackberrys, on Fascinte and one HTC Thunderbolt), Sprint (tried on Blackberry), AT&T (iPhone, Samsung Captivate).
Someone please help.

IOS7: Cannot share photos via iMessage from an album

Over the weekend I was sending some photos to a friend with a new 5C.
When I navigated to the image in Photos and then shared the photo via Message, it didn't work. It seemed to work, and I got a texting window with the recipient and the photo, but nothing was actually sent and the iMessage did not appear in my message history with that person.
If I started with a new iMessage and then added the photo to it, I got an identical window (iMessage with recipient and photo) it worked. It did appear in the message history.
Anyone else experiencing this? I've heard of messaging problems with IOS7; is this one of them?
I just checked my Contacts and noticed that I had the phone numbers marked as Mobile and not iPhone. Dunno if this makes a difference.

Hey Lorne17!
I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. First, you should try to perform a reset on your phone according to the steps in this article:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Next, try adding an attachment into an email through the actual body of the email instead of through the Camera Roll. Information about doing this can be found here:
Insert a photo or video. Tap the insertion point. Tap the arrows to see more choices. Also see Edit text.

I,am unable to sent photos in messages but can receive them. Help

The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others. Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM. The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless. Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.

I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail

Can anyone help?
I have been using my hotmail account to send/share photos on iPhoto. Recently I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail?
What do I need to do to get the hotmail account working again?

In iphoto I select the photos to send, click on share and email. I setup the email in iphoto and iphoto sorted out all the pop3 & SMTP settings all i had to do was put my email & password in. Since its gone wrong I have got an ipad but no changes to my email settings.
I have been looking at the 'mail' which is also setup for hotmail and I can't send emails from there either so i don't think there is a problem with iphoto.

Cannot send photos via bluetooth to Kodak printer machine.
Correct. iPhone doesn't support Bluetooth File Transfer protocol.
Many photo machines let you plug in a camera via USB, so do that instead. The iPhone will appear as a standard digital camera.

I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past. Had to reset my email address

When I attempt to email a photo using iPhoto, a yellow triangle pops up with an exclamation point. No text, no instructions, and only option is to click OK. IWhat do I do? I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past, no problem. Had to reset my email address in preferences for some reason , and a request for iPhoto to share my photos or something came up and I just clicked OK thinking I needed to do that to email them. Now, yellow triangle. ( I have changed my preferenced to send via my email program, but I prefer iPhotos snappy layouts and would like to correct this problem.)

In iPhoto's Accounts preference pane delete the email account, close and open iPhoto and add the account back again.
If that doesn't help try some of the photo stationary in Mail.

Cannot receive photos via text messaging, says too big to receive

I can receive photos via blue tooth but when anybody sends photos via text it does not arrive or I am told that the image is too big.

Hi,
Thank you for posting the issue here and providing more information. I did some research on the carrier and this is what I found about sending a receiving messages.
Please call your service provider to find out if there are any limitations on attachment sized for your phone plan.
I tried looking up to verify how to manually set up email for the email app for your phone, but was not sure what model you had: please check here for troubleshooting info [http://www.vodafone.com.au/help/devices/ota-settings] if the email is already set up, please ignore.
This lists the networks that work best for sending and receiving pxt in mms overseas and email
[http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/Sending-PXT-to-overseas-numbers]
PXT®/MMS settings [http://support.vodafone.com.au/articles/FAQ/PXT-MMS-settings]
If this continues after any optimizing changes the service provider recommends:
*Are there download settings set in the email menu
*What is the size of the attachment when this happens?
*Is it a specific file type this consistently happens?
*what kind of email account does this happen with, and is it consistent for other emails as well? If so it may be the apn settings.
If you are unable to access the images from the account with Vodafone, it may be the following bugs that is affecting this.

*Does it happen with pdfs? [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825318]
*Does is happen when there is no message?
*Does it happen when it is too large and is there a message? [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=949972]

Cannot Print Photos via Printer Sharing

I cannot print photos from iPhoto or Preview using Printer Sharing to my iMac anymore. I get this error message when I attempt to print a photo:
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/ rastertoescpII failed
I am using a Mac Book Pro sharing the printer connected to my iMac over a wireless network. I can still print documents OK, so the printer sharing is working fine.
I have recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.2.3, and have updated the printer driver via Software Update.
If I connect the printer directly to the Mac Book Pro I have no problems printing photos from either iPhoto or Preview.
The iMac still prints from the older iPhoto OK.
This is rather a pest so I welcome any suggestions.
Robin.

Fixed. Installing Mountain Lion has done the trick. There must have been a glitch in Snow Leopard that was the bother. Anyway, I am happy I can now print form my MBP via printer sharing.

Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view. I cannot get it to work.
Steps:
1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
3. Mouseup on the destination folder
Results:
Nothing happens. The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow. There is no indication I can drag and drop. The photos are not moved.
The photos are stored on a NAS. Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons. From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders. I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive. Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

I created a new catalog. Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS). I've been at this for 3 hours. I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy. Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files. Really strange.

Cannot share photo via email in iPhoto

When trying to share a photo via email in iphoto, i get this message
Check your Internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later.
Myh internet is working fine and my email is working fine. I am using an icloud email account.

What are your settings for email in the iPhoto Preferences? You may want to switch from iPhoto as an email client to Mail.app - see Old Toad's post here:
Re: iPhoto will not email from share saying that the 'server does not recognise the username/password combination'. My email account is working fine. Whats happening!
