Imessage won't send texts/pictures, but can receive if send them to myself

I can't find the answer to this:
I have imessage on my iphone4s, but i can't send pictures to other imessage users. If I send them as SMS/MMS to another user, through the carrier, it works fine. I have tried sending the pictures to myself through imessage and I can receive them well.
What I have tired:
Having my brothers iphone next to me and making sure imessage works (blue text), he won't receive some of my texts and pictures.
Turned off imessage and sent text (SMS) to my brother's iphone, he will recieve the message.
Disabled Imessage and restarted my phone, reinabled imessage, tried again NO LUCK
I sent text to myself on imessage, can receive and send, sent picture to myself on imessage, can send and recieve.
sent picture to myself from my brothers iphone using imessage, can receive.
My thoughts, seems like something got corrupted? Might have to restore my phone but wanted to see if anyone has had any better solutions.

I have the exact same issue! I have tried compeltely restoring my iphone, turning off and on imessage different itunes accounts etc etc NOTHING will work. I am on the latest 5.1 and no luck whatsoever! Any help would be aprreciated thanks.

Can't send AOL mail but can receive it

I have had my Droid 2 for 3 months and still can't send AOL email but can receive it. My outgoing settings are: smtp.aol.com - port 587

The best thing to do will be to go into the account menu and delete the account to make sure we set it up with the correct server information. The steps to delete the account are listed below:
Menu
My Accounts
Menu
Remove Account
Choose the AOL Account
Once you have done this we can re-add the account with the manual setup. The steps to do this are below:
Locate and Select the Mail icon from your Applications Menu. You will see a place to enter your Username and Password.
After entering your full email and password, select Manual Setup. You should now be on the Incoming Server page.
Locate the drop down box at the top that typically displays "POP3" by default. Touch and change the selection to IMAP.
In the Incoming Server box, change the entry so that it displays "imap.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
You are not on the Outgoing server page. Change the Outgoing server box so that the entry displays "smtp.aol.com". Nothing else should need editing; Select Next.
Assuming everything went through with success, you will now be prompted to choose display/account names for the email. If you are planning on setting up multiple emails, then label so that you can differentiate this one from the others.
Once you have done this it will begin to receive emails with 15 minutes.

Cant send e mail but can receive hotmail

cant send e mail but can receive email on ipad2 from hotmail....problem with ourgoing???

Dear All,
Thought that I'd report in. My firewall is not on, so that can't be the problem.
I went into my mail settings and re-entered passwords, account info, unselected SSL, then selected it again, entered custom ports, etc., etc., and was able to get mail to send, but no information seems to be stored and there doesn't seem to be any way to save any changes that are made. There was always a box that came up and asked if you wanted to save changes, but I can't find it now. If you shut mail down and start it up again, the same old problem occurs.
I also have two smtp servers and it seems that if one is working, the other doesn't. If outbound.att.net is working and shows green, then smtp.att.yahoo.com is red. If smtp.att.yahoo.com is green, then outbound.att.net is red. Occasionally they will both be green, but neither one sends any mail. Strange!
Also, Connection Doctor shows a red light for no connection when my mail just swooshed out of the mailbox! It really is working, but Connection Doctor doesn't show a connection. And, when the light is green and a connection is made, the mail still doesn't leave the box.
It still takes a long time to send anything, but I was able to send about five test messages tonight. I'm still waiting for a fix from Apple.

How come i can send text message but cant receive

I have a Skype in number unlimited plan also Skype credit but.I can receive text messages why is that?

By text message do you mean SMS message?
If yes, then currently receiving SMS messages is not supported. Online Numbers are just regular landline numbers and don't receive SMS messages
Online Number only enables you to receive incoming calls:

C3-01 - Can' t send MMS message but can receive an...

Hi, I am having issues with sending MMS messages. I believe I have all the correct AT&T settings as I set them up and even spoke with AT&T and they sent them to my phone. I can send an MMS message, send and receive texts, access email via the AT&T network and everything else, but I can't seem to send a picture message. Is there some unique phone setting that I a missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pretty sure it will be a carrier issue, I had similar problem with my phone recently, and Vodafone emailed me the manual configuration settings, which I entered manually, now it's all working fine ! Contact AT&T again !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

Cannot send Yahoo Mail but can receive it!

Hello all!
I am new to Mac - just bought my very first macbook pro 13" yesterday and have fallen TOTALLY in love with it! Not sure why its taken me so long to realised my life wasnt complete without a Mac, but anyhoo!
OK, so I have synced my Yahoo Mail Plus account with Mail, and it receives messages perfectly, but when i try to send messages, the sending little loading wheel just keep spinning, and Outbox says i have 1 message to go, but it never sends! Its been going for about 10 miunutes now!! I have quit and restart Mail a few times, but NADA!
Any ideas? Advice? Help?

Here's a troubleshooting article from Apple: iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
It doesn't seem to cover your specific issue, but have you tried using a different network (either a different wi-fi network, or switching from wi-fi to cellular or vice-versa if you have a wi-fi+cellular iPad)?
For GMail, iCloud and Yahoo, copies of messages are stored on their respective servers, so you could try deleting the account on your iPad, then re-adding each account one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

I can't send e-mails but can receive through my homecall(talk talk) account on my ipod touch

Have done a few checks on my outgoing server. I keep getting an error message that says that my username or password is incorrect but I am copying the username from the configuration in microsoft outlook and I know that the passwords are ok.

I have a homecall e-m,ail address via Talk Talk. The Talk Talk website tells me the settings that I need. The smtp address is a homecall one but I have got in a bit of a loop. My ipod tells me that smtp.homecall.co.uk doesn't support password authentication but I am unable to turn this off. Not too sure what to do next.

HT1338 my mac won't send emails but can receive them

mac won't send emails but can receive them

Hi Mick209
I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router. Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.
If it works, spread the word :-)
