Images sent to and from the Message app show up Black.

When I am sent an image or I send an image in iMessage or as an MMS I can see the image when it's hits my phone or iPad but once I press it to open the image it's black. That's happening on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 (both running on 5.0.1 I have yet to update to 5.1). I cannot seem to get any image sent via iMessage or MMS to show up. I see them fine in emails and whatsapp but not the Message app.
Anyone able to advise on this?
Many thanks

I guess I was expecting to talk to people that new what they were talking about. All I did was ask a simple question and got nothing back from you that would solve the problem. Sorry but your sugestions did not help me. I'll wait to see if I get any other feed back. Don't get me wrong as I do appreciate your input, but it's not solving my problem. Why is apple making it so hard to get into the memory of this one app? I have never had a phone that I could not access all data until I got an iphone.

HT1688 Is there an "easy" way to either 1) cut and paste a large block of text from the Messages app or 2) access this text through a computer?

Tap and hold the text you want to copy, then tap Copy.

HT5824 How do I delete files from the message app

I need to delete files that are stored in the memory of the message app. This app is starting to take up to much space on my phone and I can not get rid of them. I can see the files by using Dr. Fone and a lot of the space is used by pics I sent in the past, years ago, but it will not let me delete them.I keep this app pretty clean and close out all unused conversations on a regular basis, but the **** phone keeps storing it. I also use phone clean that works great with all other apps but the message app, that app doesn't show up at all on that software.Can some PLEASE help with this? No one seems to have the answer except for a full reset which I really don't want to go thru the hassle of that.

Why do i constantly get 1009 and 100 errors even though i'm updating what i previously downloaded from same country and from the same app store??...its just simply awful

It has been like a month since i can't update my apps which i downloaded from the App Store...now i keep getting error1009 followed by error100 even though i'm still living in the same country and using the same account and updating from the same App Store...this is getting awful,painful and very frustrating???is there any solution...even if when i try to download from third parties,i just get sent back to the same awful App Store...So WHAT is the Solution??????????

I would delete the apps that you are trying to update. The MAS should then offer to install the app and it will install the updated version.
If you are afraid of completely loosing the app then either copy the app to an ext HDD or put it in the Trash, but do not empty the Trash until you are sure that the MAS has installed a new version.

Where Can I find activity from the messaging app?

If using the messaging app on smartphone where is this activity stored at? Anywhere online? Is this the same as text?

Texts sent/received using the stock messages app are stored on the phone; Account Owners can view text logs for the past 90 days via their on-line My Verizon account.
If texts are being sent/received using the Verizon Messages app, then the content can also be viewed for the past 90 days via that phone line's My Verizon account.

Is it possible to move my previous conversations from the Messages app from my old Macbook Pro to my new one?

Both are running the latest Messages 8.0. New messages are coming in fine on both computers but I would like to have my previous conversations moved over to my new computer if possible.

Are these active messages or ones you have saved? If active, make a new post and the new computer should pick them up if the setup is the same.

How to Delete duplicate contacts in the messaging app?

I set up a new email account, and was trying to send my contacts to the new account. In doing so I did not get the contacts to sync with the new account, but they did duplicate in my contacts app and my messaging contacts app. I can not find a means to delete the duplicate contacts in the messaging app. I stopped by Verizon at Best Buy, and they told me that there is no way to delete the contacts once they are in the messaging app. I can't believe that.
There must be a way to remove the contacts from the messaging app. Please help.

Hi Tidbits,
I ended up going to Best Buy, where I got my LG G3 Verizon phone. The Tech tried everything to correct the duplication, but could not find how to do it. He deleted everything, and went back to factory settings. Darn if the duplicates didn't come back.
He went to my Verizon account, and went to the Verizon Cloud. Clicked on Contacts, and there were all the duplicate contacts. He deleted the duplications, leaving the original for each contact. BINGO the problem was solved.
I am using the Standard Messaging instead of Verizon messaging Plus. The Tech said that if I had been using Using Verizon Messaging Plus this may not of happened. I just down want the added cost of Messaging Plus.
Thanks for the response.

Please, watermark from the Ipad app.

The app is almost perfect for me, except for one thing, and I can not include an image as a watermark from the Ipad app. Please include this improvement in the next update. It is a plea. Thank you.

Make Messages app show names and pictures by default in groups

Is there any way to make the Messages app show names and pictures by default in groups? It's kind of annoying to have to set that every time. I'm hoping Yosemite may add this option.

Hi,
It should stay set.
Should be this Menu item.
To get the options to be dark and usable then Messages window need to be "front".
The Buddy Names item above is for the name display in the Buddy Lists.
If it is not sticking then check that you have Read and Write Permissions to the com.apple.ichat.plist in ~/Library/Preferences.
Since Lion this Folder has been hidden.
Use the Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder and copy and past the ~/Library/Preferences
FInd the File then Right click it and chose Get Info.
In the info Panel, near the bottom, your shortname should appear with (me) next to it.
You should have Read and Write permissions.

I can not open the messages app on my daughters iphone 3gs

every time you try and open the message app the screen goes blank, white for around 10 seconds then revirts to the home screen, is there anywhay of fixing this, she has 2 messages recieved but can not read them or open them.
Thanks.

Close out of the message app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check the message app again.
Hopefully you haven't restored yet.

TS3147 After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple,"

After installing Mountain Lion, I tried to scan from my Canon MX870 and received the message: "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. A report will be sent to Apple," This problem happened right after I installed Mountain Lion. I then downloaded Canon's upgraded software and drivers for the MX 870 and the problem was resolved. Now one month later, the problem has returned.

Solved problem with original Canon software. When I downloaded Canon software upgraded for OS X 10.8, I got all by Navigator Ex. Noticed that on Canon's site, the upgraded version is 3.1; my app was 2.1. Upgraded to 3.1 for Nav. Ex, and it works.
You should still use Image Capture IMHO. If it was my gear, that's what I would do. No need to worry about software upgrades.

How can I stop iOS from opening a recently received message when I click on the messages app to compose an unrelated message to a different contact? I want to read it later, when I have time to reply, and I don't want to forget to go back to it.

iPhone messages automatically open when I don't want them to
One of my first ever flip phones had a wonderful function where you could choose a checkbox next to received messages to make them appear read or unread. This was very convenient for messages which you read, but don't have time to reply to immediately, and want to remember to come back to later.
In contrast, the latest, greatest iPhone not only does not have this rudimentary message management function, but it goes one step further in the wrong direction. If there is just one received, unread message, and you click on the messages icon, the new message will automatically be opened. It is opened irrespective of whether you have time to read it right away, irrespective of if you simply wanted to compose a new message or go back to another already read message. It just opens the new one, and then you are in a position where you have to read it and respond to it right there, or risk forgetting about it and failing to reply to it altogether. I sometimes receive a lot of messages over a period of a few hours, so it is very easy to lose track of these half-read messages in the mayhem. I have missed countless messages because of this problem. Incidentally, if there is more than one received message, then the application doesn't automatically open any of them, which is much better, because you can at least choose when you want to open one of the unread messages. But ideally, you should be able to go through your list of received messages and check or uncheck them as read or unread at any time, so that you can easily find messages that still need to be replied to, or reconsidered.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It strikes me as a simple data management solution that should be, but is not an option in the basic functionality of the app. Frustrating!

Is this an IMAP account?
If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop. When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows: iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.
Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.
Thank you.

Make a back up of your Library. Now you can update without fear.

I tried to install the Watch ABC (a free app) on my iPad from the AppStore. It would not download. I attempted to install it a second time, and got the message "You've already purchased this, so it will downloaded now at no additional charge." Any advice?

I tried to install the Watch ABC (a free app) on my iPad from the AppStore. It would not download. I attempted to install it a second time, and got the message "You've already purchased this, so it will downloaded now at no additional charge." Any advice? This is a fee app so I do not understand the message referencing a purchased app. I get the cloud symbol, but it will not download. I closed the App Store app and restarted my iPad, but to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen. Not the main one. Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

Change the settings at the bottom half of the window.
