How do I send pictures through imessage

ok, I feel completely dumb for asking this question, but where did the little camera icon go in iMessages on aa macbook pro? Prior, it was located to the left of the text field, now its gone...is the only way to send pictures now is through the "send file" option in the Buddy drop-down menu??? How frustrating, when it use to be so simple! 
Anyone know if im just not seeing something or is everyones gone?

Hi M1k313,  I send photos in iMessage by starting with iPhoto. I go into iPhoto, select the photo I want to send, then click on the "Share" icon at the bottom right of the screen. You have several options as to how you want to share the photo including Messages. So, once you click on Messages, it brings up the Message window, and you proceed as normal. The window is small and superimposed on the iPhoto screen, but it is the same thing as going through iMessage....  Hope this helps!  Cheers,  GB

  • Why isnt my mac sending pictures through imessage

    Hey,
    Why isn't my MacBook Pro sending pictures through iMessages?
    Please help!
    Thanks

    Only Apple devices can receive messages sent through iMessages.  Your iPhone will only send a message through iMessages if it already knows that the other end of the connection is an iPhone and can receive such messages.  This is because a message sent through iMessages to a phone that could not receive it would just disappear without either of you knowing why.
    You can specifically chose to use iMessages to send a message to the other person's phone.  Once the message has been received by the other end both ends will know that the other end is an iPhone and they will use iMessages by default in future.

  • Can't send picture through iMessage

    Since yesterday I have not been able to send pictures through Messages as an iMessage. It will send as a text message but not iMessage. It's the same if I am on wifi or my phone carrier (T-Mobile.) I have reset the network settings and restarted the phone but no change.

  • I cant send pictures through imessage

    It tells me no delivered and I choose send as text instead and it goes through

    It may be your carrier.  But first, check Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging and make sure it's "On".

  • Pictures Through iMessage Claim to Not Send

    I have multiple group chats with other Apple users without problem. Recently, when I attempt to send pictures (JUST PICTURES), they claim to have failed sending. When I ask the people in the chat, they say that they recieved the picture. The other people in the group chat say that this also happens to them. I'm just curious on why all of my devices (including my Macbook Pro and iPad Gen 2) are doing this. Example bellow.

    Are all of them in the group have iPhones?
    Make sure your MMS is properly provision by your carrier, have a chat with them.

  • I am running ios7 and cannot send pictures via iMessage to only one contact but they can send me pictures. What is going on?

    I am having issues sending pictures via iMessage to only one of my contacts. They can send me pictures through iMessage so why are mine coming back undelivered?

    Have managed to get it working.
    It might be as simple as switching the other phone completely off, and resetting it...
    I say this because I have no idea how I finally managed to get it working again.  I tried so many things.  Removing all the iMessage addresses.  Sending messages from the computer, iPad...etc and found that the weakest link was my wife's phone. It wasn't receiving iMessage pictures from ANYONE (not just me).  That allowed me to narrow down the possibilities somewhat.
    Let me know if simply resetting the other person's phone fixes the problem.

  • How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

    How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

    I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage.  Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever.  After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed.  They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself.  After that, the pics go over imessage.  My own Iphone didn't have the problem.  We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

    How can I send pictures not embedded, but as an attachment? THX

    I had the same problem. I closed  the message, tried again selecting the correct imessage contact number and it worked.
    I'm guessing I first selected a non-imessage phone number and it got stuck in a gray/can't send mode (bug).

  • How do I move pictures from iMessage to Photos on iPhone 5s

    How do I move pictures from iMessage to Photos on iPhone 5s

    What is your MacOS X version and iPhoto Version?
    If your Mac OS X and IOS ob your iPhone supports Photo Stream, add the the photos to the Photo Stream and import them to your camera roll.
    Or send an email to yourself, then you can open the photos on your iPhone,
    Or create an album in your iPhoto Library and add the photos that you want to upload and use iTunes to sync the album to your iPhone.

  • My iPhone 5 will not send mms through iMessage, any help?

    I have recently been abroad and since returning to the UK, my phone will not send pictures over iMessage, I never had this problem before travelling. I have my wifi switched on and I have checked my send and receive settings. I can receive picture messages through iMessages but cannot send them. The person I am sending them too has an iPhone and has their iMessage turned on, I have checked my updates and my phone does not need updating, I can not think of anything else it could be. I have also checked and I am able to send them through text just not iMessage. Any suggestions would be great!

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

    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.

  • How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?

    How can I send pictures or email from my desktop to a cell phone?
    I use Gmail for my emails.

    By sharing playlists you mean sending the list of song titles along with the songs themselves you can't.  That would violate Apple's contracts with the studios regarding sharing music, videos, books, etc.  Which is strictly forbidden. With the single exception that I am aware of which is Home Sharing.
    If you just want to share the list of song titles you could take a screen shot and email that.  Hold down the home button and press and release the power button.  The image is then stored in your camera roll.
