I can't send photos through text on iPhone 4s

It used to be able to send photos through text and now I keep getting the exclaimation point that it did not send. Both my Wifi and Data are working, I tried it through both. Any one else having this problem?

I'm having the same exact problem. I'm using the original iPhone 4 and it refuses to send or recieve picture messages ever since I've upgraded the OS earlier today. The network is fine and theres no problem with the hardware, it just cancels sending the message right after I hit the send button. People who have tried sending me pictures report saying that the massage appears to send just fine on both iPhones and other phone brands, yet it never goes through. It appears there's a bug in the new operating system, and I hope it gets fixed soon. I'm surprised a bug this big went unnoticed.

I have tried to send photos through text messaging and it will not send. I thought my iPhone 3 was giving out so I got my iPhone 4 last night and still can't send photos through text message. What is the deal??

Also MMS is supported on a carrier by carrier basis. While mostly every carrier does support ths feature make sure that your carrier allows this functionality.

I can't send photos through iChat/Messages?

Hello! I have a MacBook Pro and I can't seem to send photos through iChat to my friends. I am able to receive photos, though. I can drag a photo into the message box and I can click send and it looks as if I've successfully sent the photo. However, after a few seconds, the message bubble becomes blank and a picture is no longer there and my friend tells me she can't see anything. I've updated to Mountain Lion but I still can't send photos through Messages. Does anyone have any idea why? Thank you in advance!

Hi,
The Messages app in Mountain Lion is a fusion of iChat (which uses AIM Screen Names and Jabber IDs to create Buddy Lists) and iMessages from the iOS side of things.
iMessages can be sent if you register your Apple ID for iMessages when opening Messages for the first time.
The same Apple ID is then used on your iOS devices (iPads, iPhones and some iPod Touch devices) so that you can sync the conversations you are having.
iChat is /was an app in Lion and earlier Mac OS version that could join the AIM or Jabber Service (And the Yahoo service in iChat 6 in Lion).
In those versions Buddy List were displayed by default.
In Messages the default is to display any Non iMessage Accounts (Seen in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts.) as one list, which can be brought to the front by the Keystrokes CMD + 1 keys together (See Window Menu)
You can separate the Buddy lists by going to Message Menu > Preferences > General section and unticking the items that say about gathering accounts into one list.

This changes the Window Menu to then list all the Buddy lists, each with their own CMD + #
Uploaded with Skitch!
As you can see I have an Account callled Google talk (And another that logs in to Jabber.me)
The Names shown here are what you enter in to the Description field in Messages menu > Preferences > Accounts.
If you enter nothing and have one account that logs in to AIM and another that logs in to Google the Account Buddy List window will get titled "AIM Buddy List" and Jabber Buddy List as Google run a Jabber server.
If you have more, like I do, of both sorts then they take on the Screen Name or ID of the account if you don't fill in the Description field.
(The Partially Blocked out one is doing this as it is an AIM registered Name)
If your Apple ID happens to be your Google Mail ID and you have set it up for iMessages it also needs setting up for the "iChat" Google Talk side (it may be already there if updating from Lion)
However you cannot send iMessages to your Google Buddies or vice versa - sending IMs from your Google Buddy list to Contact's Apple IDs
So make sure the Messages window is saying you are using iMessages if talking to Contacts or your IM account type (or name/ID) if using Buddy lists.
If your Apple ID can also be used with the AIM or Jabber services then double check what you have set up in Messages > Preferences > Accounts and which you ware using.

Can't send videos through text message

Hi, I have an iphone 5S. I'm using ios7. While texting, I can't seem to send videos through. It shows it went through on my end but does not show up on the other end. I'm texting from iphone to iphone.

Correct... The limit is actual 1.2 megs and any larger files I would say do the email option or dropbox...
I use dropbox and I can share any size files without issues but make sure you set it to sync the images and videos on wifi only to avoid exceeding data.

Cant send photo through text....via camera on lock screen

I cant seem to find a way to text a pic or email a pic using the camera function via the lock screen. Try to access the camera from the lock screen...take a pic and try to forward it, send it etc. You cant. The function does not work. You have to go back to the home screen and then access your picture in photos. This was also a problem in ios 6.

or you can go to the messages app and add the photo there or take the pictures there

Can't send or receive texts on iPhone 5c

I used to be able to send texts to some people, but not others. Now after extensive reading and searching online over the last week, I have turned iMessage off, have MMS Messaging turned on, have reset network settings, restarted phone numerous times, turned off iMessage on my MacBook, have data roaming one, verified and changed numersou settings..........., and I can send no text messages at all. Help!

Just had a very helpful VZW chat with Natasha. She had me turn wi-fi off and power phone down. She reset some things on her end. Powered on, texted to myself, didn’t work. Powered down again, she did some more things, powered up, texted and it worked!

if the link provided doesn't help then you will need to contact your phone carrier as SMS is a carrier feature.

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.

HT1694 Can't send emails through Hotmail account

This just started. I can receive emails, but can't send emails through Hotmail account. iPhone says I need to check my settings (password). I have correct password in settings. Any help?

Hello reedstrom,
Sorry to hear you are not able to send emails from your Hotmail account. Sending emails is a very important feature of the iPhone, and the fourth section in the following tutorial has steps for checking your Outgoing Mail Server settings.

Can't send photo text from iphone 4s to non iPhone

I have a 4s iPhone but can't send photo text message to husband who doesn't have iPhone. Can send to people with iphone though. Need some help...

I've been having problems with texting pictures since I updated to iOS 7 too but have yet to find a solution that actually works. I have also tried to reset my phone numerours times, have MMS turned on, etc. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to send the picture to another Apple user or not.
It usually takes about 3 or 4 tries to get the picture to go through, but in many cases I have to turn my phone off then back on for it to work.
PS - I am in Canada & my service provider is Bell. However I don't believe it is a Bell issue as I didn't have any problems until AFTER the update. Had hoped the latest update this week would've fixed it but if anything it seems worse.

Why can't I send photos through Messages anymore?

I just updated my software for the new iTunes and Safari this morning, but now I can't send photos on Messages. The recipient is someone I talk to everyday, he uses an iPhone, and I just successfully sent photos yesterday. Only after this update have I had any problems? I've tried completely closing the application and reopening it, I've tried different file types (JPEG, PNG, GIF) but no luck. I have a MacBook Pro 15" (2012), OS X Version 10.8.5.

There should be a camera button that you press on. It asks you if you want to use a picture already taken or to take one. Then you upload it on to the message and send.

Can no longer send photos with text msg. Says not delivered

Droid Charge - 3rd one, same problem with sending photos via text (MMS)

Sending photos via text messaging (stock messaging client) does not work consistently.
In a 4G area, the texts go through fine with minimal errors (perhaps 1 out of 20 failures to send)
In a 3G or less, the texts give me an error message of "Failed" or pending, whether or not the recipient gets it (usually the recipient does not get the message) - this is true of recipients with AT&T, Sprint and Verizon service with smartphones and Blackberries.
If I do not delete the thread, I get the message "Too many unsent multimedia messages" and the phone will not initiate the send. The phone will, however, continue to try to sending the photo, causing very rapid battery drain.
The last phone was replaced because the phone was not closing out the message, according to the last technician to whom I spoke.
Is there something else I can do to get the full functionality of the phone I paid for? This is an extremely frustrating issue, and makes me regret switching to Verizon.

Hi moonchef!
Sending pictures is something I do on a daily basis, so I know how important this is! It is true that pictures have to be sent over the VZW network and not Wifi. I would like to ask you if you resent the same picture that failed? Or did you send the same picture again, but in a separate message? Please try sending it again separately and let me know the results. Thanks!
