Iphone 4S takes FOREVER to send photo

I've been trying to send a photo, and its taking FOREVER, to send a shot I took with it's camera at full res, (about 2.8 megs).
Its been over 5 mins so far and it still hasn't sent

Are you using 3G ofr Wifi? If it is over 3G then there might be a lot of network congestion slowing the upload of the image.

  • IPhone 6 - I can only send photos via iMessage in landscape mode. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo.

    iPhone 6 - I can only send photos in landscape mode via iMessage. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo. Gone so far as erasing all content and settings. Problem persists.

    Howdy jackbry,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you haven’t already, you can try resolving the issue with not being able to send iMessages that contain portrait photos by restoring your iPhone to factory settings as shown in this article:

  • Mail takes forever to send all of a sudden!

    For some reason, my mail app is taking forever to send anything all of a sudden. Even smaller text-only emails take a couple minutes. I've tried ports 25 and 587 - no difference. Any thoughts?
    Also I am upgrading from 1gb to 2gb RAM tomorrow - would that speed things up at all? (I don't imagine that it would...any thoughts?)

    It could be that there is a problem with the particular outgoing server you’re using. Are this mail account and the associated outgoing (SMTP) server provided by your ISP or by someone else?
    It could also be that there is something wrong with your network settings. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc and see whether that makes a difference.

  • IPhone 5 I want to send photos as attachments NOT as embedded images

    Until recently, when I sent a photo from my phone (using the share icon) via email, it would come through as an attachment,  This was great, because then I could do what I wanted with the attachment.  Now, since a day or so ago, all the photos I send show up as embedded images (the image is in the body of the email).
    iPhone 5
    I have not updated to 6.1.4
    I have not added any new apps.
    I have rebooted the device.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    After some testing:
    -Embeded images show up when looking at your inbox listing, no paper click icon next to title
    -Image can be seen within email
    -Image cannot be saved
    -Happens when email is sent by any apple device from a Microsoft based server (Hotmail, Live, etc) and iCloud.
    -Noticed by reading off a PC or web based inteface.
    Does not happen if:
    -Sent by GMAIL server
    -Red by another apple device
    -Can be saved.
    Tried all this with help of another MAC user who has GMAIL and iCloud capabalities. iphone5 and 4 and 3
    So
    Anybody using GMAIL as a primairy email server won't see this and cannot be a setting as this is happening to anybody not using GMAIL and includes iCLoud users. GMAIL must handle the file differently but any servers used will present symptoms of NOT having a paper clip icon next to title to show you have an attached file .jpg. It will show a paper clip for any other file extensions though.
    Again I went through all my settings on all 3 devices I own, iphone, ipad and Macbook Air and there is nothing to change!

  • When syncing large database of photos (107,000 photos) constituting nearly 35GB, itunes takes forever on "importing photos" even if i select only 1 folder of 10 images. Windows 7, IPAD Air both latest versions. photo library is on my local internal HD .

    i tried selecting a folder with less than 50 photos as my source, importing photos phase still takes longer than what sounds normal for such a small number of photos, but the job is done nevertheless.
    But what is worth noting, is that even if i run another pass of sync without touching the photos section (i.e. neither adding nor deleting any photo from the previous sync) it still takes the same amount of time on the "importing photos" phase.
    when i select the actual photo library folder as my source (the one containing the 107,000 photos); at that point even selecting a subfolder in it that contains merely 10 photos generates the same dilemma.
    i tried photoshop elements, spent like 4 hours building my library there, hoping that if i select it as the source in the photo tab in itunes, things would work out for the better, i was mistaken!
    at this point am really out of options, and need some serious help.
    few extra diagnostic infos:
    the above manifests even on other devices like my iphone5.
    the computer used is not exactly top notch but works for my Autocad drawings, i figure it should suffice for itunes (Dell Pentium D 3.19Ghz, 4GB Ram, 3TB HD, running windows 7 (32bit) ultimate)
    the above persists when i sync wirelessly (not a USB bug issue)
    please any help is appreciated, if you need further details, kindly let me know

  • Mail takes FOREVER to send. Suggestions?

    I had this problem since I got my Mac and 10.5.6. I've been using Thunderbird but would like to be able to use Mail for the integration with the rest of OS X, iLife. Thunderbird works as expected, sending and receiving.
    Receiving is fine, but sending takes about 20 seconds or longer to send just a one word text (test) message. Setting are identical to Thunderbird.
    I was hoping SL would fix this. Any ideas why it takes so long to send?
    Gene

    Gene,
    Try going into your SMTP settings for your mail server (Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts).
    Where it says Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), drop down that list, then choose "Edit SMTP Server List...".
    Choose the correct outbound mail server, click on "Advanced", then click the radio button for "Use custom port:". Enter 25 in that box. (If that doesn't work, you might call you ISP and ask what port they're using for SMTP).
    Save those changes, then see if you can send any faster. If I understand correctly, Apple implemented some sort of "round robin" type scheme for choosing which mail port to use if you have the default "Use default ports" setting selected.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mac Mail, it takes forever to send anything with an attachment.

    On my IMac, if I attach anything to an email, it takes absolutely forever.  I can count the Kb at the bottom of the screen and then it craps out and I have to restart.  Is there a step that I missing that would help move these along?  It is so much slower than Outlook
    Thanks@!

    Sounds like an anti virus issue (it usually is). Disable outgoing mail scanning as a first attempt.

  • My iphone 5 and i pad send photos sideways.  How can I fix this?

    I can't figure out why the photos that I have taken on my Iphone 5 or ipad are recieved sideways?

    I find it hard to believe that the viewers in Windows are not handling EXIF correctly - wouldn't non-iPhone people also experience it? All you hear about is the iPhone rotation issue.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2001954
    Some camera manufacturers set the JPEG EXIF Orientation flag based on an orientation sensor built into the camera.  This image attribute is currently not supported by Windows Explorer or the imaging applications that ship with Windows.
    3rd party photo viewing applications such as Picasa Photo Viewer and Photoshop Elements Organizer do honor the orientation info.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs take forever to load withgame center

    So i recently started to use my iPhone 3GS and when I played a game, it asked me to sign in, so i did and it kept loading and loading and i left it on for 20 minutes and it still didn't login. Is there any way to fix this? By the way, i'm using iOS 6.1.3

    Hey there KyleVH,
    It sounds like you are having issues signing into Game Center on your phone. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help get that working correctly again:
    Using Game Center
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
    If you can't create or sign in to Game Center from within a game, create or sign in to your account using the Game Center app.
    Sign out of Game Center, then sign back in. If you can't sign in to Game Center with an Apple ID, reset your password or use another email address. To manage your Apple ID, go to My Apple ID.
    When using a Wi-Fi connection, make sure that your Wi-Fi router is configured for Game Center.
    If you're on a Mac and still can't sign in, continue with the steps to resolve sign in issues.
    If you have an issue with a Game Center game:
    Make sure that you have the latest version of the game. To check for updates, open App Store and choose Updates.
    Test your connection using a different game. If you can't connect with a specific friend or player in multiple games, they may need to check their Wi-Fi connection and router settings.
    On iOS, try opening the game from the Home screen, rather than from within Game Center.
    If you can't create or sign in to Game Center from within a game, create or sign in to your account using the Game Center app.
    If the issue persists, or certain features of a game aren't working as expected (leaderboards, achievements, and so on), use the App Store to report the problem to the developer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Text messages take forever to send!

    Got the phone about four days ago and my text messages are taking hours to send and receive. Phone calls work perfectly fine

        Kjacunski,
    This is very strange behavior for any phone connected to our network, but we'll help get them sending and receiving much quicker! Which make/model phone do you have and what zip code are you in? Also, have you tried turning the phone off for at least 1 minute? Let us know and we'll be happy to continue trouble shooting!

  • Mail messages take forever to send.

    Simple messages, without attachments, html, etc. just sit there and the sending gear spins. My activity window shows a long stall in the activity bar before it begins sending. This just began happening yesterday. Me, or my provider? If me, please tell me what voodoo I need to employ to fix this. TIA.

    Hi mj,
    Most frequently this appears to be the result of not properly negotiating the DNS address automatically. For me, with Leopard, it was always a problem until I stumbled on providing the primary and secondary DNS Server addresses manually into the Modem, while for a good friend the need to do this did not immediately arise, but did later.
    If you get the correct addresses from your ISP you may simply be able to enter them in Network Preference panes, but I accessed my Modem directly from the browser and entered them. It seems more logical to do that if using a router and multiple computers.
    I think your provider changed something -- it may or may not get changed back. In the Activity window, what you should be seeing is a long time being used to connect and then a short time transmitting. You can test further by preparing two messages to send, then send the first one and as soon as it swooshes, send the second. If DNS, the second one should go almost immediately.

  • IPhone 5 takes forever to ship. (Since Sept. 23)

    That's because it does not belong in any of them.
    This is a user to user technical support forum, not check the status of your order.
    If you want to know the status of your order, contact whomever you ordered the device from and ask them.

  • Can I send photos to other phone numbers? or take video??

    I'm not sure if this just isn't capable, or I just cant figure it out?? Help? Thank you. I don't know how to take videos, or send photos to other phone numbers, or forward text messages...??

    The iPhone does not include a video recorder, and does not support forwarding SMS - at the present time anyway.
    The iPhone also does not include an MMS client, but you can do the same via email.
    Ask the sender of an MMS to address the MMS to an email address for an email account that you access with the iPhone's mail client. The sender of the MMS will enter your email address in the To: field for the MMS instead of your cell phone number with area code. The MMS will be received by you as an email with the photo as an email attachment. If you also access the email account with an email client on your computer, you will have access to the received message and photo attachment on your computer - and the same if you access the email account via webmail using a browser.
    This will give you the sender's cell phone MMS email address - included in the From field for the received message. Add this email address to the contact's info in your iPhone's address book. Select a photo to be sent as an email and when addressing the email to this email address, the email with the photo attached will be received by the recipient as an MMS on their cell phone.

  • I can send photos TO my MacBook Pro from my iPhone 5S using AirDrop but not vice versa.

    I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10 on my MacBook Pro, which has AirDrop enabled and is available in Finder and I am using iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5S.  I can send photos to my MacBook Pro using AirDrop from my iPhone but I cannot send photos to my iPhone from my MacBook Pro using AirDrop.  I have to email the photos to myself via email.  Is there anyone else having a problem with this or does anyone have any advice on how to fix this problem?  When dragging a photo to my listed iPhone in AirDrop on my MacBook Pro I simply get an error notification, which is very frustrating.  Thank you for your time.

    Sorry, please disregard this. My roommate rebooted the router while I had stepped outside and now it's all running again.
    At least this will be a possible option for anyone else that has this problem

  • How to send photo IM from email account not iCloud account

    My iPhone 5 and Ipad2  are sending photo IM's from my iCloud account.  I want to change to be sent from my Personal email account.

    IM is imessage and uses your apple id for imessage to send something. If you personal email account is not apple id, you can only use it for email and not imessage. If it is you need to sign in with it into settings -messages.
