Images sent by iMessage always come back "Not Delivered

When I try to send images from Photos via iMessage, nothing works.  I've tried being connected via LTE.  I've tried being connected by multiple different wi-fi connections.  I've tried sending to the recipients phone and to multiple Apple accounts.  Nothing at all works.  I send, and a few seconds later, it bounces with a "Not Delivered" and no explanation as to why.  Text iMessages work fine.
I'm using an iPad with wi-fi and LTE, on AT&T.  I get a notification reading "The message to [person's name] failed to send
I've tried sending it from a Verizon iPhone 5S as well, and the exact same thing happens.  I'm completely puzzled.

  • On my ipad some of my contacts on messaging have come back not delivered. They are red when entered in To: box. This only began after I downloaded the OS7 update, but not sure that has anything to do with it.

    Some contacts on Messaging are red and undeliverable when i type them in the "To:" box. These are contacts I have messaged many times. The problem started after installing OS7. Help?

  • Last Friday, the broken glass of my iphon g3 replaced. Since then, remains the screen of my iphon regular black. The battery is not empty. By the restart I get my iphon back to life. It always comes back sooner. The last 24 hours 3x. Is there a solution?

    Since Apple doesn't repair iPhones (they replace them) you will have to take it back to whoever "fixed" it. Since it's been opened by an unauthorized 3rd party, it is no longer eligible for replacement by Apple.

    have a question I do not use mail in my computer I use yahoo and I have all these emails and selected all and then delete then delete trash and they always come back how do I stop these old email in apple mail? I never send anything from there but I have the same email in yahoo but delete them and they still show up in apple mail from day one how do I get rid of these once and for all.Please help
    <Edited by Host>

    I am soooooooooooo confused now.  Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
    1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
    2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
    Neither of the above are Apple's products.

  • I have a new email address which I have had verified, but when I try to update an app it asks for my password with the old email address and always comes back telling me it is an incorrect password.

    I Have a new email address which I have entered into settings and it has been verified. I no longer have the old email address. When I try to update an app, it comes up with my old email address and asks for my password. It always comes back with a message that the password is incorrect. What do I do to fix this?

    Hi Vivian Zollman,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I'm not sure if you are referring to your Apple ID or just your email account in the Mail app.  So, I've included all of the articles that may be relevant for you.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4810
    If you already have an email account set up and you want to modify its settings, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap the name of your account, and then your email address. Then tap any information you want to adjust.

  • N82 - 4th time repair...always comes back the same...

    Hi, I really don´t know if my post fits well in here, but I´m getting bored about the repair service that has been made to my N82, and I hope I can get some help in here.
    My mobile phone only has 6 months and when it reached the first 4 months started to heat a lot, even when turned off. The battery only lasts for 5 hours and then the phone just dyes. I took it to my Nokia distributor in Portugal and today I´ll take it there again for the 5th time to go to repair... Last time I pick it up from repair it was yesterday, and they say the phone went to the factory to be repaired 2 times, but it always comes back with the same problem.
    I just want to know what can I do, because it´s a new phone and it was expensive, it´s an N82... can someone tell me what do I need to do so that I can move forward on this?
    Do I need a miracle so that Nokia can give me a new phone or at least "really" repair this one?
    Sorry if my frustrastion doesn´t fit 100% on this forum, but the Portuguese Nokia is not really helping me on this... and it hurts to buy an expensive phone from the top brand and cannot used it...at least I have my 7yr old 6210 which is still working as new!
    Thank you...

    You need to contact Nokia Care in your country (click on the "Contact us" link at the top-right of this page). Not a Nokia Care Point, but Nokia themselves, in order to put your case to them.
    The Care Points are not run by Nokia but by third-party organisations operating with a Nokia licence.

    Hi sayla,
    When you reloaded your software did you do a clean reload (deleting all data)? http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
    If so, you might try doing a resettofactory using the following instructions. http://bit.ly/fMW9I4 This will reset to factory default.

    If you aren't using iCloud. with the Mail app open, from the menu bar click Mailbox > Rebuild

  • TS4268 My iMessage keeps on saying "Not delivered".

    My iMessage keeps on saying "Not delivered". I don't know why it says that because my carrier is working and I've tired everything, restarting me phone, activated iMessage again, closing the messages icon! I don't know why this happens! Please help! My wifi is also working fine!

    Do you have another apple device with iMessage running on it?  That was my problem I have a 5s and an ipad 2 and noticed if I turn iMessage off in the settings in my ipad I no longer get that not delivered message on my phone.

  • My iTunes EULA always comes back

    I just bought my iMac last week (I'm such a newbie. It's my first Mac ever). The problem is that my iTunes EULA comes back every time I open the program. Every single time. I've accepted the EULA, printed the EULA, saved it to disk. I declined it once, (predictable results there). Heck, I even read it. But it still keeps coming up every time. When I'm sitting here, it's no problem to just accept it and make it go away, but when I use the iMac remote, it won't play until I sit down, make all the menus go away and accept the EULA again. It shouldn't be a big deal, but it's like, the one thing here that doesn't work right.
    A friend recommended erasing the preferences file, but that didn't work. I also deleted every bit of iTunes related files that I could find and reinstalled it, but that didn't work. Any ideas?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Why my old wallpaper always come back??

    Two moths ago, I set a picture as wallpaper. Now I really want this picture to go away, but every time I open my MacBook Pro the old picture come back. Every time, I change this background for a new one... but this new one doesn't last when I close my Mac. Any tips to get a rid of this! Thank you

    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
    Look for these two files.
    com.apple.desktop.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Right click each  one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
    Restart the computer.

  • I am using Windows 7 and no matter what I try, I can not delete the history/search on the left of the screen? Even if I hi-lite and delete, it always comes back?

    Have tried all the tips from troubleshooting. Private Browsing, checking and unchecking of boxes. It used to clear every time I closed Firefox? I don't normally open this or use it for links since I have most of what I use under Bookmarks...Thanks

    If you created those prefs in a previous Firefox version then they will still be there, but they won't have any effect in current Firefox versions, so you can right-click them and choose reset to remove them.
