If i reset my iPhone 4 wi it erase all my contacts? How can i send photos via messaging?

I have bought an iPhone 4 from a friend of mine and I can't send text with photos like I want to. I also try to download app's and games but t tells me I need to download ios updates but it won't allow me. Help I love my new phone but can't download anything.

A reset has no affect on data.
A restore from backup will put the device in the exact same state it was in when the backup was created.
A restore as new will put the device in a fresh, out of the box state.
Read the User's Guide to learn how to use the device then if you still have questions, you'll be able to clearly communicate what those problems are.
FYI, SMS and MMS are carrier features, contact the carrier to troubleshoot.

How do I send photos via Messages to an iPhone?

So, I'm using Messages in Mountain Lion. I reach out to my friend using an iPhone 4. We exchnage messages without an issue, as advertised. I take a screen shot, it saves to my desktop. I drag and drop to the Messages text entry line, the green, add item icon (green circle with a +) appears, and item is in entry line. I press enter, its appears sent. I ask my friend, if they recieved they said no. I send myself the same image to my iphone. I dont get it. I change the file from a .png to a .jpg, nothing. I can facetime to myself or my friend. Yet and still cant send the image from the Messages app to an ios device. Any ideas?

Something has gone wrong. Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer regularly. Just sync them back ot the iphone from your computer.

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

That's because her phone is recognized in the Apple database as an iPhone. It should eventually convert to SMS but that's above my level of expertise here so hopefully someone else can come along and help you further. She could just turn on iMessage and solve the problem. Ha!
Good luck!

Assuming that they are on his computer, sync them to his account.

IPhone 6 - I can only send photos via iMessage in landscape mode. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo.

Howdy jackbry,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you haven’t already, you can try resolving the issue with not being able to send iMessages that contain portrait photos by restoring your iPhone to factory settings as shown in this article:

So long,

HT1688 I reset my Iphone and got everything back accept ringtones, how can I get them back?

I recently reset my Iphone 4S 16 GB and I backed it up with Icloud. I got everything back ( apps, music, photos, ETC.) accept for my purchased ringtones. I am trying everything to get them back. I know they are still there because when I tried to purchase one again, it said I already purchased it. How can I get them back and what happened to them?
Thanks,

I would try deleting these from your Itunes on your PC/Mac but i gather you have these ticked to sink when you plug in your iphone check this first. Then you could try downloading them again from itunes.
You can download anything you have purchased again from I tunes by clicking on the purchased link the right hand side of itunes store link in. I have never had Ringtunes so i would make sure these are availble download before you delete. There are lots of good free apps with ringtunes and ones that enable you to simply cut a short sample from any of the tracks from your itunes list.

Another iOS 7.1.2 my iPhone 5s can not send photo via IM, FB, Twitter - etc or upload to iPhoto.

I plug my iPhone 5s into my MacBook Pro using the USB - which normally automatically imports all phone photos and puts them into iPhoto.
That's not happening anymore. Nor can I send a photo from my phone to others via IM, Facebook, Twitter - etc and so forth.
I had to do a HARD RESET which seems to has fixed it for now. <HOLD the SLEEP & HOME down simultaneously until you see the Apple logo reappear>
Hopefully this helps someone else.

Glad to hear it worked for you and thanks for sharing your solution.

How do I send photos via text message to non-iPhone users?

I can send photos to only iPhone users, but not other phones. WHAT'S GOING ON?

Do you have MMS messaging turned on? Does your plan allow for MMS messaging? Are you using T-Mobile in the US? T-Mo's US network is not fully compatible with the iPhone and MMS messaging may not work.
