IMessage won't send or receive pictures

iMessage won't send or receive pictures, no matter how big or small they are. Not issue sending pics from iphone or ipad. if i access the file transfer window, it shows the following message below each picture that did not go out:
NSURLSession error: The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error - 1200.) ((null))
Any ideas?
This issue started a few days ago, no changes in SW or HW ever since, so not sure what is going on.

Hi,
Try zipping/Compressing the files or pic first.
Other people are having the issue and the zipping is the only work around we have discovered so far.

Imessage won't send or receive messages. I tried several different wifi connections and ethernet and still nothing. Maybe my outstanding balance is restricting my imessaging?

Imessage won't send or receive messages?

I've been having a bunch of trouble with imessage. It won't send or receive messages 75% of the time when I'm trying to use it. I've reset my network settings multiple times, restarted my device multiple times, and logged out and back in. My wifi is fine. Everything else works. Except imessage.

Hi IssiHerondale,
Here is an article for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue with iMessage:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
If you can't send and receive iMessages
You will need these to send and receive iMessages:
An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
iOS 5.0 or later
A cellular data connection or a Wi-Fi connection
A phone number or Apple ID registered with iMessage in Settings > Messages
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.
If your iMessages didn't transmit as SMS when iMessage was unavailable for use
Go to Settings > Messages > Send as SMS and turn on Send as SMS.
Select your phone number when Sending iMessages in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From.
Make sure that you can send SMS with Settings > iMessage turned off.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Follow these steps to set up text message forwarding on your iPhone:
Click on the Messages app in your Mac to open it.
Move to the iPhone. Tap Settings > Messages.
Tap Text Message Forwarding.
You should see a list of all your devices linked to the Apple ID. Tap the one you want to send and receive messages to On.
You should see a six-digit code appear on in Messages on the Mac. And on the iPhone an alert window will appear marked Text Message Forwarding.
Enter the six digit code displayed in Messages on the Mac into the alert window on the iPhone and tap Allow.

Triple check the Outgoing Mail server info that you entered in your Mail account. If that area says the info is optional enter the outgoing mail server and your password anyway. Also if you have more than one email account check the server that is selected for the GoDaddy account and make sure it's the correct server for the account.

TS3406 Help my iphone won't send or receive texts!

I have just purchased a new iphone 5s however it won't send or receive texts?? I can make and receive calls and the internet is working fine, any one got any suggestions how to fix it? Thanks

Are you trying to use actual SMS with non-iOS devices. If so, SMS is a carrier funcation and you would need to contact your carrier. If you are trying to connect to iOS devices, that is an iMessage, and you would need to go to Settings>Messages and see if iMessage is turned on and activated.

I cannot send nor receive emails. The message I get is that I need to type in my account password which I've done but still unable to send or receive. I get texts fine

My Iphone 4 is new, and I have been able to send and receive texts, but cannot send nor receive emails. I get the message that I need to input my password for my yahoo account which I've done many times. When I type messagefor outgoing it only allows me to save as a draft. Any ideas?

Are you positive you're typing the correct password in? You might want to try and reset your password, and try again. You'll get texts because it isn't connected to your email account.

Blackberry Worldphone loaner. Won't send or receive mail

My BlackBerry Tour swam...so I had to claim it on insurance. While waiting for replacement, Verizon store gave me a BlackBerry Worldphone loaner. I've tried validating all email addresses (all validate), then "registering" the phone (options/advanced/host//register), and all looks fine, but my phone will neither send nor receive email. Is there some part of the registration I'm missing? Am I supposed to change the phone serial number somewhere? I need the email accounts for work mail. Thanks!

Try the steps below to set up your email addresses:
1.Using a computer, launch a web browser then navigate to the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) website.
http://www.blackberry.com/go/vzw.
2.Click Create New Account.
3.Review the End User Agreement, select (check) I have read and understand the Legal Terms and Conditionsthen click Nextif desired to continue with account setup.
4.Enter the appropriate informationinto the following fieldsthen click Continue:
To locate the PIN and ESN / MEID, refer to Locating the PIN / ESN (MEID).
Device PIN
Device ESN / MEID
5.Enter the desired informationinto the following fieldsthen click Next:
User name
Choose password
Confirm password

Blackberry Curve 9300 won't send or receive BBM messages

Hi
I have a blackberry 9300 and it won't send or receive any BBM messages for some of my contacts. When I send a message it shows the tick without a "D" or "R" over it and I can't receive messages from some of my contacts. They also can't see any updates I do like status update, display picture update, etc. My BIS is activate because I can go onto the internet and I can use Whatsapp, the problem is only with BBM. I have tried deleting and sending service books but it hasn't worked. I also deleting my contacts and re-invitign them again but that also doesn't work. My last resort was deleting BBM and downloading it again, it also didn't work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
SMS is a purely voice-level service provided by the mobile service provider, and not technically a component of the BB-level services. Hence, you need to work with your formal support from your mobile service provider to resolve this. If you are paying them for SMS services and they are not delivering them, then they need to resolve that. If they need enhanced assistance, they can formally escalate to BlackBerry for that...but you cannot.
Good luck!

Could neither send nor receive emails

I could neither send nor receive emails even though I already sent the Service Books. I also contacted the network service provider and they then relayed to me that my Blackberry subscription is active.
Anybody could possibly help me out on the next steps? Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I believe you have done a portion of this, but not the entire thing. Therefore, I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should try deleting and re-adding your BIS configuration for the affected email accounts. Otherwise, you need to continue working with your service provider...they are responsible for delivering all service as well as formal support to you...right now, they seem to be delivering neither. Further, they have the power to escalate into BlackBerry cases that they cannot handle.
Good luck!
