IPad not receiving pictures

My iPad is not receiving pictures it shows the blue iMessage bubble with a question mark. Help!

Try turning off iMessage, Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
Wait a few minutes after the phone restarts and turn iMessage back on.

IPad not receiving PDFs they are arriving open. Had sender email to a friends iPad, she received correctly. This must be my problem. Never had this happen in past. What can I do, lay terms please, I'm not very technical!

iPad not receiving PDFs, never had this problem in past. Had sender resend to a friend, she received them in correct format. Help, not very technical lay terms please.

Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

Why does my mini iPad not receive emails?

Why does my mini iPad not receive email ?

We need a bit more to go on than that please.
Have you tried to reboot the app? Double tap the home button, when you see the previews for the apps on the screen, scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app up on the screen. Flick it up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button or tap on the home page preview to exit the mode.
If that doesn't work, try to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete and then re-add your mail info
Beyond that we need more details to go on to offer help.

IMessage on mac does not receive pictures

My iMessage on my mac book pro (Os X 10.9.2) does not receive pictures sent to me. It will receive screen shots, but not actual pictures taken by the phone or image files saved to the phone. I have tried the PRAM restart with no luck. Ideas??

Hi,
Odd stuff first.
In the Contacts App > Card menu > Show My Card - is this your Info ?
Can you compare the Names that do show in Messages with those that do not in the Contacts App ?
For instance do the ones using Country Codes as part of the telephone Number Show up but ones that only use the local number (no Country code) do not ?
If this s the case check the System Preferences > Date and Time including the Time Zone as everything is time stamped.
Next go to the Messages app > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages Account > Details Button (you will be asked to sign in again).
Does this list the "right" Country or region (it is this that will add the county code to plain numbers and allow your Apple ID (or others) to work properly.
In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab does it list DNS servers that are not on your LAN ?
Quite often it lists the router (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and occasionally 172.16.x.x through to 172.32.255.255) rather than external DNS servers.
It "should" show the ones the router lists in a greyed out form.
If not, copy the DNS servers across (from the router) or use Public ones.
If that does not work use th Finder > Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.iMessages.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash then Restart Messages.
This will force the app to reconnect to the iMessages Servers (and as there is a group of them you may well end up with a new server)

Windows users do not receive pictures sent with Aperture via Mail

Sometimes my buddies windows users reply to my e-mail saying that they have not received the attached picture(s).
It looks like their anti-virus software is cutting them off.
This happens when I send the picture directly from Aperture using Mail.
I've tried several times and I ended up exporting the pictures on the desktop and attaching them to the message.
Like this it works.
In the e-mail export preset I use Email small-JPEG.
Is there anything else I should do ?
Thanks

I can verify that this does seem to be an Aperture problem; I have run a number of tests. If I "output" to eMail from Aperture there are two known problems: The progress of the send is not shown in the Mail window, as it should be, to let you know, visually, when something is in transit and when it gets to the other end it is treated as "malformed" by my colleagues' P.C.s. If I export the image to the desktop and drag and drop it in exactly the same configuration it arrives without a problem.

Nokia C7-00: Can send, but not receive pictures

Hello,
I'm unable to receive picture messages on my C7-00 smart phone. I can send pictures without problems but not receive. Is it possible to disable receiving pictures? If so how do I enable it?
Thank you.

Its weird that you are able to send pics.. ( as picture message in ur C7 00) .. Update ur phone's software.
And for picture message,to read, just touch on the attachment icon in the conversation,u ll b able to see.
Do check ur multimedia message reception settings..
For receiving through Bluetooth, check ur Bluetooth settings (visibility,pairing etc.. ) ,
BTW, update ur phone's OS ..
If you want to thank someone, just click on the BLUE STAR at the bottom of their post

Not receiving picture messages

Hello,
Sorry if its a stupid question but after reading a few other topics online I've become quite confused. What happened is, I sent my girlfriend pictures to her @vtext.com address and she said she didn't receive them. Did they go to her online picture portfolio or something? Or did it just not send at all because @vtext is only for text messages? Is she still able to get them even if they were sent to her @vtext.com ?

The [email protected] is only for text messages. There is a different address for picture messages. I don't recall myself what that address is, but I do know that it was posted on this community before.

Why can i not receive picture texts from my contacts

Ever since my phone upgraded to the new system, I cannot receive any picture texts from my friends. my text messages indicate I have a new message (friends name and no subject) and when I click on it, it brings up a new text message for me to send. I know they are pictures because I ask my friends if they had sent me something. I use this feature a lot and it gets annoying to have my friends email it to me instead of texting it, not all my friends have smart phones and cannot email me the pictures all the time. Can someone please help?

Terimich6,
Is your mobile data turned on? And if you long press on the picture in the text can you save attachment? If you can do that try viewing them in your gallery.

Safari not responding on ipad 2. Checked wi-fi, it's working. Ipad not receiving or sending mail, either.

I recently uploaded the new iOS6 operating system. My ipad worked fine until this morning. Watched video podcast, received early mail, but when I wrote 4 email messages I found them remaining in my inbox, and I was unable to get new mail, or to update facebook, or find webpages on Safari. Got the message 'server not responding.' I rebooted my wi-fi modem. Didn't help. Called wi-fi tech server. They couldn't find a problem. Wi-fi works on my computer and iphone. Checked settings. Wi-fi on and connected. Closed all apps, and re-booted ipad. Held down home botton and off button on ipad until the applea appeared, and waited. Problem remains. What else can I try?

I was unable to fix it on my own. My son suggested that I take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. Fortunately I was going to be in the city, and was able to make an appt. with the store closest to me. A very helpful young 'genius' took my iPad in the back room and fixed it. I don't know what he did, but he said something about 'firmware'. I don't even know what firmware is, but he said it was unlikely that the problem would recur. There was a sense that it had to do with the new IOS6. If you are able to visit an Apple Store that is what I recommend. Make an appointment first online at Apple.com. The service is free and I was VERY grateful to have my iPad restored!

Iphone 4 not receiving pictures via text

Is it possible that if I'm using my phone (not calling, but just doing stuff) that I can't receive a picture text? A friend sent a few pictures while I was not using my phone and I received them just fine, and send a few others and I didn't get them, but I happen to have been using the phone (not calling) at the time they were sent. We can't figure out why I didn't receive those other 2 pictures, only can think since I was using the phone.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I spoke to AT&T Directly, and they said that MMS was disabled on my account. they enabled MMS on my account again, and that solved my issues!

Non-Blackberry users are not receiving pictures I send via MMS

I have long ago come to the realization that pictures can't be sent from my Blackberry Curve 3G via SMS but whenever I send pictures via MMS to my friends who don't have Blackberries, they never get them. Is there somewhere besides their text message inbox where they should be looking? I get all of their SMS texts w/pics attached fine.
Please help.
Thanks.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7
