Images not sending under iMessage

I recently encountered the problem of not being able to send any photos through iMessage to only one of my contacts. I had never had the issue before and is not occuring with any other contacts that I utilize iMessage with. I have re-booted phone and deleted and re added all of that contacts information. Any suggestions on a fix as to why they fail to deliver?

After visiting Apple store and hours after rebooting phone to factory settings it still didn't work. So don't waste your time doing either of those. The simple fix was making sure both my phone and the "receivers" phones had been restarted. After he restarted his, worked like a charm. It happened again just a few days ago and we both restarted phone and worked correctly again. Good luck.

My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

One contact who has an iPhone but messaging will not send as iMessage

I have one contact, who has an iPhone, but messaging will not send as iMessage, only text. All my other contacts with iPhones, the messages go as iMessages - even messages going to people who are not in my contacts. What is the fix?

But if that person did not set up an iMessage account on their iPhone, then they cannot receive any iMessages at all, only SMS text messages.
Both the sender and the recipient must have an iOS device with an active iMessage account.
There is nothing you can do about it, other than ask them to set up iMessage on their device (which if they don't want to, is their choice).

Iphone4 does not send texts/imessage properly.

I've had this iphone for 18 months and it does not send texts/imessages properly. The iphone will be sending texts completely fine and it will have good 3G connection but then out of nowhere the phone will take over 20 minutes to send texts/imessages. Phone connection is out of the question. it does this on and off very frequently. It started doing it very rarely but its been doing it more and more often.

My service provider is Verizon wireless

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

Images not sending (iMessage)(mac)

Whenever I send a picture it works just fine, I get a message saying the recipient read it and the recipient actually applied meaning that it arrived and worked, but after a minute, I get a red exclamation mark next to the image saying that the image did not send properly.
I have already restarted my mac and force quit it, but with no effect
The macbook I own is late 2013, retina, 13-inch, intel i5

My iphone5 does not send as imessage to other iphone

My iphone does not sends imessage to other iphone.

This support document is for troubleshooting Messages http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755. Remember both users have to be on iOS5 or above and have a solid data connection at the time you send. Check settings for iMessage on your device and have the receiver check as well. You may need to turn iMessage off and back on again, but read the support document.

TS3682 Ugh, My older iPad is not sending out iMessages to fellow iPhones / iPads. Is there a way to remedy this? Everything worked fine a month ago... I haven't changed anything

My iPad will not send iMessages to other I devices. Checked settings, all good there. It marks the msg failed and has asked if I want to send as text msg. Other times it just doesn't send and doesn't say failed. Any help is welcome

I have tried hard staring my devices and I doesn't seem to work
Please help!!

Are you still seeing the iMessages problem?
Have you tried sending iMessages on more than one Wi-Fi network?
If your still seeing the problem and you haven't already, try the suggestions in this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
If you still can't send or receive iMessages
To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
iOS: Troubleshooting cellular data
Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
If iMessage is unavailable either on the sending or receiving device, SMS will be used. You can turn this on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
Note: To receive iMessages sent to your phone number on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you must meet the following requirements:
iPad or iPod touch using iOS 6 or a Mac using OS X 10.8.2.
Verify that you are signed in to your Apple ID account on Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

Photos not sending using imessage on iPhone 6 plus

When I try to send photos using iMessage over wifi on my new iphone 6 plus they rarely send. The sending bar slowly goes to about 95% and then freezes. Very very occasionally (1 in 20) they send but take a good hour. Sending the same photo to the same person on my iPad air is so easy and the pic goes in the blink of an eye. This is so frustrating because one of the main uses for my phone is chatting and Sending pics.
I Have tried resetting the phone, the network (although if its sending on the iPad it can't be the network), ive toggled iMessage on and off, ive tried everything I've seen on the forums. I have mms / 4g turned off when at home so that I'm not using data when I have my wifi. Text messages are sending fine. It's just picture messages. I am on iOS 8.1. I have super fast wifi so that isn't the issue.
Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if this question has been posed elsewhere. I couldn't find the same issue.
Thanks

Just solved this issue by turning iMessage off in the Settings app, waiting a few seconds, and turning it back on.

Ps edited images not visible under keywords or in collections

Images I edit in PS no longer show up back in the catalog with the orignal under keyword or in a collection. I can find them when I go back to the orginal folder by the date the original was shot, but I don't work from the folders because that's not how my projects are organized, so they end up being pretty much invisible to me. when I locate them in the folders, the ps edited image has the same keywords as the original and is in the collection I was working on, but I can't view it when I choose that keywork or the collection. It shows there is a second image but won't allow you to see it, unless you go to folders. Is this something in a new version of lightroom, because my ps edited images have always been visible before, next to the orginal within a catalog or by a keyword. Is there something different you need to do for that to happen now?

By George, that did it! I had regenerated previews, but I missed the main issue.
Why would thumbnails disappear like that?
Thanks for your help.

Photos not sending through iMessage when on WiFi?

Searched for an answer for this but so far no luck - sorry if this has already been solved elsewhere.
I have an iPhone 4S running iOS6 (although I was having this issue pre-iOS6). My iPhone sends iMessages, so long as they are text, fine, delivers read receipts, everything fine when I'm on WiFi. It used to send photos on all the WiFi connections I typically use (home, campus, favorite coffee shop, etc.) but about a week prior to iOS 6 it decided it would no longer send photos via iMessage. When I want to send a photo I have to turn off my wireless, and send the photo on data. Then I turn wireless right back on and resume sending texts via iMessage. I have no issues with other WiFi functions - web browsing, etc. is unaffected.
SMS and MMS are on. My iMessaging is directly linked to my phone number, not my Apple ID, if that makes a difference?
Hoping someone can help with this, especially since it appears its not my wireless signal thats the problem as my iPhone has decided to do this over multiple different wireless signals it used to not have an issue with..

No, my AppleID is only linked to my iPhone and my MacBook Pro (which does not have messages installed).
I am on the Telus network.
I'm really really disappointed in apple. Why would I shell out cash for an iPhone 5 when the operating system doesn't work properly on my current phone? In addition to this iMessage issue other issues I'm facing include abbreviated texts (ie typing "brb" and having my phone correct it to "be right back") don't work anymore, despite me checking to make sure they hadn't been erased during updates; and now today my iPhone decided to do this great trick where it SAYS its connected to my wifi, displays the blue check mark, but remains connected to 3G in the upper status bar. Turning wifi off and on as well as restarting the phone does not fix this.
Come on apple. You've basically secured the fact that this will be my last apple purchase. Funny that my friends with androids and windows phones never have any problems, isn't it?

My text messages to iphones are not sending as imessages. Instead I have to copy and then send as text messages.

Over the last couple of weeks, when I try to send someone an imessage, it won't sent and instead I have to click on the message and choose the option, 'send as text message'. I haven't changed any of the settings other than install ios7. Please help.

Hi,
This issue is usually caused by some anti-virus programs, disable the anti-virus program you have on the PC, check if this issue will happen again.
You may also run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem viewing html emails in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue. Some security programs may have such add-ins intergrated with Outlook.
