Iphone 4 wont save picture messages

I have some pictures that friends have sent me but whenever I try and save them and go to my photos it says "Updating photo library" and the picture wont be there, only a white picture of the text "JPEG".
I have restarted the phone numberous times, updated to the most recent update and yet it still is doing this.  Does anyone know of a solution to this? I would like to be able to save these pictures.
Thanks

I'd like to make it a little more clear, all my pics from before are there, just not the new ones I'm trying to save from text messages/internet etc. Also I can not save screen shots and when the camera pics actually do save if you try to click the share button it does the same "saving" bs.

  • IPhone 4s wont send picture messages to non iPhone users.

    I've tried reinstalling the IOS 6, changing the settings, shutting off the phone. I can not send picture messages to non iPhone users but can send texts and receive texts and receive picture messages. just can't send. Help.

        jannwj, sending and receiving pictures is very important these days because we try to capture the moment all the time. I know this issue is frustrating because I take, send, and receive pictures at least 20 times a day. I researched  your issue and did not find this as a known issue. Do you receive a error message? I recommend checking your message settings to ensure they are enabled. I have listed the steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select Messages.
    3) From MMS Messaging, drag the switch left or right to enable / disable.  Enabled when set to ON.
    Please let me know if this helps. Also ensure the data network is enabled. I have listed steps below:
    1) From the home screen, select Settings.
    2) Select General.
    3) Select Cellular.
    4) Drag the Cellular Data switch left or right to enable / disable cellular data.
    On /Celluar data enabled
    Off /Cellular data disabled
    Keep us posted with the status of your issue.

  • Why won't my iphone 5 send picture messages

    So I had an iphone 4 which was configured to another network, a GSM network but now I have an iPhone 5 which is on AT&T's network. It seems that my iPhone 5 wont let me send picture messages unless its through imessage. Could this possibly be due to the network setting that were on my iPhone 4 ? if so how do i reverse this

    It shouldn't have anything to do with the iPhone 4 if your iPhone 5 has been activated properly.  You would've received a new sim since they use different size sim cards.  Try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.  This will give your phone a reboot and fix any network related issues.  Also, try going into Settings>Messages>Make sure MMS Messaging is turned ON.

  • IPhone wont send pictures to non IPhone users

    For the past couple of months I have not been able to sent picture messages to people who don't have iphones.  I thought it was because a new update was coming soon.  Once the update came and I downloaded it, it still was not working.  I can send regular texts to people who don't have iphones but just not pictures.  I have tried sending pictures to both people with iphones and without.  I can send them to people who have iphones.  Also, the ones who are non iphone users can't send me pictures either.  And it's not just certain phones because I have tried with 3 different people who have different phones and different service providers.  I have searched online and tried what other people have suggested but can't figure it out.  All my settings seem to be fine.  I have a 4s.  Someone please help!!

    Yes, it could allow the app to change the types of photos allowed to be viewed and sent, but also change the format in which they are taken.  Essentially, if the App is only functional for JPEG2 images, then it will stop the phone from editing, and sending/receiving pics in any other format.  If Removing those apps doesn't help, then first, I would do a network reset.
    Settings > Genreal > Reset Settings > Reset Network Settings.  This will not cause you to lose anything on your phone, but rather, it will reset all WiFi settings, and your connection to your carrier tower.  This could be the issue.
    Also, you could contact your carrier...  For example (because I don't know the details of your contract), if your hubby doesnt want you sending/recieveing pics, or your on your parents contract, they could have turned off the feature to send./recieve pics...  But if your communicating to a phone via iMessage, then that feature can't be stoped via the carrier because it's essentially an instant messanger dont over the internet..   Also check you restrictions.. If you acidentally restricted phonos on your phone, it will do the same thing... It will stop texts from sending/receiving pics, but cannot control iMessage as its an instant messanger and not a Text.
    If this doesnt help, then I would consider restoring your phone off iTunes.  You shoul dbe backing up regularly(once a week min) and then you may be able to correct this issue.  If a restore doesn't help, then I would visit an Apple store.

  • My iphone wont receive text messages

    My iphone wont receive any text messages. I can send them but can't get any. i know i have friends so i know that just no one isnt texting me. i can do everything except get text messages. i called my carrier and they said everything running on my phone so now i dont know what i need to do someone help

    My sone had same problem. This may or may not help but it solved it for me.
    The problem was'nt with the phone or the carrier it was to do with the iphone sending the text to my sons phone.
    So on the phone sending message make sure of the following:
    Settings
    Messages
    Make sure imessage is checked so the menu changes so you can then see send as SMS
    Make sure that is checked
    also MMS
    Hope this helps

  • I cannot get my iphone to save pictures to photo stream

    It always saves pictures to camera roll so it won't sync.  Photo Stream is activated on the camera and my computer.

    Thanks Carolyn. 
    I have photo stream and wifi turned on but the last bit of advise:
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    I do not understand.

    Hi lusha,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you can't receive text messages after restarting your phone and trying to update, try these steps next:
    If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
    See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
    Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
    When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
    If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.

  • Iphone wont send text messages for 10-15 minutes

    Occasionally I will send out a text to somebody and it will get to about 95% and stop for about 10 minutes. At this time, I can't send a text to anyone, receive a text from anyone, and all my conversations with my friends become erased. After about 15 minutes, they will return and I get bombarded with texts and such. Anyone experience this and know what exactly to do to make it stop? Thank you.

        Hi billyhil25,
    Let's see what causing the problem! When did the issue begin? Current zip code? Are you using standard messaging or iMessage? I look forward to hearing form you soon.
