I can send SMS texts to one contact, but not MMS.

I have sent picture texts to one contact daily for months. Now all of a sudden I can send SMS easily, but the pictures are not delivere.  I have a Windows phone also, and I have no problem sending her pictures from that phone.
i I have tried deleting the phone number and re entering it, and also deleting and recreating the contact.
I Have also deleted all existing threads.

Hi, Kristi.  
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
I see you have tried some troubleshooting steps already.  There are a couple more steps that I would recommend trying in the article below.

  • Classic - text ringtones work for one contact but not for others

    Just got the new Blackberry classic.  I'm having trouble with the ringtones for the text messages.  The custom ringtone works for one contact but not for the others.  I have taken the same custom ringtone that works for contact A and used it for contact B but it only works for A.  B sounds the default ringtone from the default profile instead of the custom ringtone.
    I have deleted all contacts and done a re-sync thinking something was corrupt.  That didn't work. 
    None of the contacts have a link. 
    I have changed the notification profile and it still doesn't work. 
    I have deleted a contact and recreated it manually.  It still doesn't work. 
    I finally deleted my dad's  contact and from the phone app created a new contact.  I set a custom ringtone for him and it worked.  I of course had to recreate all his other information manually.  Please tell me there is some other way to fix this than recreating manually all 147 contacts in my contact list.
    I read that if the phone number has the hypen or space it won't work, but my dad's contact info that I created from the phone app has the hypen and it rings with the custom ringtone.  Also contact A has no hypen in the phone number and it rings the custom ringtone.  So that didn't seem to matter. 
    I have spent hours on Google and see that lots of people have had this problem (but not everyone) but have not yet found a solution. 
    Surely someone has found a fix for this issue.

    Make sure that the contact has "Mobile" as the field for her number and not "iPhone".
    Note that the iPad cannot send SMS messages.

  • TS4268 i can send imessages to a phone number but not to my daughter's ipad email address. does anyone no why

    i can send imessages to a phone number but not to my daughter's apple ipad. can u tell me how or why i can't do this

    - What happens when you try? Error message?
    - Is the email addrese listed on her iPod in Settings>Messages>Send and receive?
    - Is the same email address listed on your device in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive? If so it will not work.

  • I can receive a text from a contact but cannot send to them- both are iPhone with IOS 7

    I can receive a text from one of my contacts but when I send a text back, the text is not delivered.  We both have updated iPhone 4s phones.  Neither of us is blocking and we were able to text both ways until one of us made some changes due to a son's iPod being added -then tried to change back- still doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

    Help, I ehave iphone5, boyfriend has Motorola Android, I can send him texts, with and without photos, he receives them right away.  When he sends me a text, with or without pictures, I get nothing until I do a hard shutdown of my phone and when it comes back on, messages older than 4-5 hours pop up.  Sometimes they don't arrive at all and he is forcecd to use email.
    Please tell me how to fix this problem.  I have gone through Technical Support many, many times, resetting networks etc., trouble with voicemail, now getting text messages "blank" from Unknown.  AT&T says it is there software problem.  I have had so many problems since receiving this phone, on-going daily calls to AT&T.
    Can anyone out there help me with the issue of being able to receive text messages from my boyfriends Anroid?
    I can so use your help desperately.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Why do i send several text to one contact

    why do i send several text to the same contact

    I'm going to assume that you're using imessage and it also sends that person an SMS text?

  • All of a sudden, I can't upload videos from my iPhone 4. I can send them in emails and messages, but not to my computer or Facebook (Serious! I know.) Have I done something wrong, pushed a button that I shouldn't have?

    All of a sudden, I can't upload videos from my iPhone to my computer or to Facebook. I can send them in messages
    or emails, however. Did I push a wrong button, and now it won't upload?

    iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
    You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
    Message Colors
    Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
    Green is SMS (Carrier service)
    What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
    As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4)

  • Send Mail attachment to one recipient but not to another?

    In Mail 4.5, how do I send an attachment to the main recipient but not to the carbon copy recipient?

    Thanks, Bob. I realized only after I posted (this is my first post ever) that someone had answered my question previously but my search had not revealed the answer. I understand now the limitation of Mail--only one message goes to the outgoing server regardless of number of recipients, and the attachment is part of the message. Thanks again for your help.

  • I can receive texts from one contact but when I reply she does not receive the text. It does not say delivered when the text is sent but does not say that it has not been sent.

    One of my long standing contacts cannot receive texts from me. I can see them from her. We both have iPhones . We have been texting for years.
    My outgoing message is sent as iMessage and stays blue. It does not say delivered but it does not say that it has been unable to send.

  • How can I delete more than one Email (but not ALL) at once in the new Mail program?

    In OS X 10.7 it was possible to just right click an email and then scroll down or up to delete i.e. 10 Emails at once. But in OS X 10.8 this doesn't work anymore. I have to delete one mail after the other which is exhausting after a while and with a lot of emails! But I don't want to delete all of them (would be too easy with CTRL-A and then Return) just a few. Any ideas? I didn't find it out yet and I want it the easy Mac-Way and not the complicated Windows-way
    Thanks for any inout on that!!

    You can now double-click and drag down the list of emails to select multiple, consecutive messages to delete.
    For non-consecutive messages, command-click on the ones you want to delete.

  • HT4539 Why I can download from iCloud on 1 iPod but not the other. It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

    I can download from iCloud to one iPod but not the other.  It says downloaded but doesn't show up in music...

    I'm not sure what you mean by the "music library" - are you looking in the Music app?  Or the iTunes app (which is not the one to be looking in)?

  • I can  not send a text to one of my contacts!!! HELP!!!

  • Why can I not send a text to a contact, have to type the number to send it, or reply to an old one..

    I try to send a message to a contact but it doesn't send. I can either reply to an old message from that contact, or have to type in that contacts number.
    The message then sends, but if I then save the number to the contact and try and send the message it will no longer send... Very annoying

    It's not the network as I can send messages to any of my other contacts.
    It shouldn't be the messages itself either as I can send messages to my other contacts above.
    And it shouldn't be the contact as I have deleted and then added the number again.
    I'll try syncing the phone again see of that helps
