Freezes sending / receiving pictures, and occasionally just because

Hi all (who read this).
I have iChat 4.0.3 with Chax 2.1.2 (it does come highly recommended.) About a week ago, whenever I started sending or receiving pictures, iChat would freeze (for about 30 seconds to a minute) before i could start typing again. I know that the people I am sending the pics to receive them, but they don't appear in the chat (the ones sent or received) on my end. While I can't actually visibly do anything with iChat during the freeze, if i do type and press return like normal, it will send the messages after the freeze, but it doesn't show that I am typing as I do. I can't switch windows or to other chats either. I doubt that this has to do with Chax as it ran successfully for a while without this problem. I've tested a few port changes, (443, and others that have previously worked) to no avail. And sometimes it just randomly freezes.
Thank you,

Yes, it this only occurs if I drop the file directly into the text window and send it that way. The entire app, including the video, freezes. Some of my buddies icons are animated, but not the ones to which I am sending the files (though, it has worked before with them). No status changes more freq. than 1 min. I usually have Mail and Safari open, but not necessarily doing anything intensively. Our connection is running at a normal clip (1.2 mbps) on broadband. The pictures are sending slower than they used to be even if I was active online (such as downloading movies on itunes), and iChat would still function normally while it was sending.
Thanks for your help.

  • Problems with sending/receiving picture messages

    Does anyone know how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S?  I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?? Any help appreciated.

    Can you send/receive SMS's? If so, and you can't send/receive MMS's, and MMS is turned on in Settings, 99.9% of the time the problem is on your carrier's end...most likely MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, regardless of what your carrier is telling you. Call back & have them remove MMS from your account & then re-provision your account for MMS.

  • IPhones  Can't send/receive pictures from other phone like Galaxy

      I Can't send/receive pictures from/to my iphone from other phones like Galaxy, but I can send and receive text messages. I appreciate if someone can help me.

    Is MMS enabled in your mobile phone tariff (check with your network provider) and is your phone configured with the correct MMS settings for your tariff?

    Was skiing with a lifeproof on and my phone did not get wet. On the ride back my phone was struggling to send/receive messages and had trouble opening apps. The screen froze and I hit the sleep button; since then, it has not turned on. Any suggestions on what to do?

    It probably got too cold and shut down. Warm it to room temperature, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears.

  • Why won't iMessage send/receive PICTURES through my iPad, iPhone, and MacPro on Wifi?

    For the last 2 weeks or so, I haven't been able to send/receive images through the iMessage application on either of my iPad, iPhone 4S, or MacPro. I have tried different Wi-fi connections, I have deleted/re-added email addresses to which I can be reached at/send messages and tried sending different pictures...all unsuccessfully. I try sending them, they say "Delivered" for a moment and then switch to saying "Not Delivered" (in red). I have tried to confirm with other people if they receive the pictures I send, regardless of me seeing the "Not delivered" message, but they say that they didn't receive anything. I have only been able to send pictures once in the last 2 weeks. Can anyone help me with this?

  • Messages Won't Send/Receive Pictures Until I ...

    Messages on my Mac will not send or receive pictures. After much troubleshooting I tried turning off Little Snitch and now all is well, almost.
    I have 2 rules set in Little snitch to block connections from IMTransferAgent.xpc to domains amazonaws.com and windows.net. When I turn off blocking the connection to windows.net it allows the pictures to come & go.
    This remiinds me of the billboard I saw a while back where John Wayne is saying "Will someone please explain to me why the h-ll I have to press 1 for English?" So for me it's, "Will someone please explain to me why the h-ll I have to allow a connection to windows.net to send a picture from my Mac to my iPhone?"

    Hi,
    Just because the server name appears to have .windows in the title does not mean it is a Microsoft server.
    On the other hand don 't ask me why Apple named one of their servers with "windows" in the name.
    I have the full name as mschi000007.blob.core.windows.net
    The Network Utility and Whois tab is not particularly helpful in saying more.

  • Sending/Receiving Picture Texts

    Can someone please help? When I receive a picture text it says "get media content now" but when I tap on that it just dings and displays the same message. Also, I can't send out picture texts. It just says, "unable to send". I had this fixed once but had to do a reset and now I can't remember what I did to fix it.
    Thanks!

        Hello LauraMac! Thanks for bringing your concern to our community. Thanks as well to my friend Ann154 for assisting! Yes, it would appear that having the device set against mobile data is preventing picture messaging. Disable WiFi by going to Settings> WiFi. Make sure that WiFi is turned off before trying your picture message again.

  • Can't group text or send/receive picture messages! Please Help!

    Hell Everyone,
    so I just recently switched from my Iphone back to my blackberry for simplicity/practical reasons...I couldn't deal with the iphone anymore. In doing so, I came across a problem. I am not able to send group texts or send/receive mms. Everytime I try to do so, the text has a red 'X' next to it showing that it didn't go through. I am currently with ATT and have tried calling them to resolve it but no one knows.
    here are some of the steps I took to resolve it
    1. Resetted to Factory Settings - Did not work
    2. Made sure all the settings in my text message options is selected properly - Did not work
    3. Deactivated iCloud/iMessage on my previous iPhone - Did not work
    4. Called ATT and had them make sure BB Data plan was on my plan, and it was - Did not work
    Can someone please help?
    Thank you,
    Pogos

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should re-contact your mobile service provider for formal support...be sure to request their dedicated BB support group. MMS is a specific service level that must be properly enabled on BBs in order to function. Often, the first support group you reach will not understand the proper method for configuring this on BB...but their dedicated BB support group will.
    Good luck!

  • My 16gb Iphone 4 says my storage is full and wont let me download apps etc, but I only have 6 apps, 108 pictures, and 30 songs because I deleted everything due to it, but it still says storage full?

    i've literally tried everything, I would restart it but I have valuble pictures and i can't do a backup because the same problem will happen.

    HI Shelby,
    It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting 
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Outlook 2010 cannot send/receive mail AND states mailbox is being optimized due to upgrade AND outlook hotmail connector needs updating.

    As of 2014-March, the same thing happening on my system. This seems to have occurred, after the latest batch of 28 patches (including SP2 - KB2687455) from Microsoft Updates applied on 13-Mar-2014 and 19-Mar-2014.  I have been running Outlook 2010
    since it was first available.
    An unhelpful error is thrown, after trying to manually perform a Send/Receive:
    Not Implemented
    While in Outlook 2010, clicking FILE > INFO reveals the following warnings in red:
    "Upgrade in Progress. Your mailbox is currently being optimized as part of upgrade to Outlook 2010. This one time process may take over 15 minutes and performance may be affected while the optimization is in progress."
    There's an "Upgrade Now" button but it fails to produce any visible result. Next to the button, another warning in red:
    "You must upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Hotmail Connector to continue using this e-mail account."
    Again, I do not have the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed. Nor have I recently upgraded to Outlook 2010.
    I am unable to access ANY account settings, as well as poll my various mailboxes.
    While reviewing the list of installed updates (Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates), there are 28 approximate patches -
    specifically, Service Pack 2 (KB2687455) - that were recently applied to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.
    Microsoft, what the #$%# is going on?
    I've read some related posts that suggest the core issue is other than what Outlook is reporting.  The posts recommend the following.  However, in my case, the below steps did not correct the
    issue.  In fact, the new profile would not allow me to view/manage the associated accounts or data files.
    (1) Remove your current Outlook Profile. No worries - this doesn't affect your mail data (.PST files):
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/remove-a-profile-HP010356455.aspx
    (2) Create a new Outlook Profile:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/introduction-to-profiles-HA010355553.aspx
    Note: Outlook complained "An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80040154."  However, exiting the Mail config window and relaunching shows that the new profile is intact.
    (3) If you previously had the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed, reinstall it.  If not, then just ignore and the warning should go away after creating a new Profile.
    32-bit connector: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24677

    I was able to resolve this issue as follows.  However, why it occurred is unknown at this time and
    unrelated to a corrupted Outlook Profile, as mentioned on my prior post.  It seems highly probable that it was caused by the recent batch of Microsoft Updates for this product which included Service Pack (SP) 2.
    1) Performed a "repair" of Outlook 2010, via the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
    2) Rebooted.
    3) Prior to launching Outlook, returned to Control Panel > Mail and configured the location of my PST file (not in default directory).
    4) Had to reestablish as off my mail accounts, settings/preferences/etc. This step was the most tedious and frustrating.

    I'm not sure if you've resolved your issue or not, but incase others visit this blog, I had this same issue and by upgrading my phone software, my issues were resolved.  I am now able to send and received pictures, audio, ringtones etc... with no problems.  I have a Verizon phone.  Their website walks you through the whole upgrade process.  Their in store people were NO help what so ever.  Make sure you back up/synch all your info first, as it requires you to reformat and reset your phone and sd card.

  • Screen freeze with odd squares and occasional crashing

    I've had my new IMac 27" (2.66 Ghz i5) for a couple of weeks and it's crashed more times than Windows Vista ever did (about 7 times so far). Every now and again, the screen freezes (sound keeps going) and strange squares appear. The only solution is to hard reboot using the on/off switch.
    Today it had trouble starting up again, requiring 2 or 3 goes before coming back to life.
    Help! Any suggestions/fixes? Is this a common problem?

    Thanks for this. Just taken a look at the Console log and the following is listed at the time of the latest crash:
