Iphone 4s wont send pics to non iPhone users

tried everything. contacted Apple. still can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jannwj, I am sorry you are having issues with not being able to send pictures to non iPhone users from your iPhone 4S! I realize you said everything was tried! However, more specifics would be appreciated. I like to suggest for you to check on something! Is the most reset software version on your iPhone 4S? If you have not checked this, give the update a chance to help resolve the issue. Use this link to the update and following all the steps with backing up your data http://bit.ly/RA0BTg. Also, go into your settings>messages and turn MMS on. If it is already on, try doing a soft reset and retry sending the picture message. I trust this helps!
Thanks,

IPhone 4 wont send pics to non iPhone users

My daughter and I both purchased the iPhone 4 (brand new!) yesterday. Mine is working GREAT. Hers is having issues. Most issues were resolved when we removed "restrictions" but she still is un-able to send pictures to non-iPhone users, yet I have full ability to do so. Any answers? Verizon said we needed to talk to Apple before they would replace.
Thanks.

Check Settings>Messages to be sure MMS Messaging is set to On.

TS5185 My IPAD will not send messages to non APPLE users.

Today, Christmas Day, while trying to send a message my IPAD wanted me to turn on iMessage. There was no option not to do this. After it was turned on I could no longer send messages to non Apple users. After reading online that I could set send SMS on my IPHONE I did. Now I guess it send everything as an SMS message. Now my IPAD will not send messages to non Apple users. I guess Apple wants us to pick our friends only if the use Apple products. This is about as stupid as it gets. They want us to only communicate with Apple users. The only other option is to turn the feature off. Why have iMessage in the first place.
So my situation is I can send SMS Messages on my IPHONE. I cannot send any messages to non Apple users on my IPAD and iMessages to my Apple users.
This kind of stupidity is why I switched from Windows to Apple in the first place. Don't they test anything out anymore at Apple?

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I think that you might be doing something wrong.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

HT3529 On ipad3, wifi only, how can I send messages to non iOS users?

On ipad3, wifi only, how can I send messages to non iOS users?
I have MacBook, and iPhone 4 as well

Your're wrong on the overly sensitive part. I couldn't care less about android or some other stuff that you are comparing, what i do care about... enough to take the time to explain, is that your view on things colors the choices you make.
You clearly state your decision making process and the marketing is doing their work on you.
You think in terms of comparisons and competitors and that will always get you. The truth is, I'm glad Apple finally focused on how "something makes you feel" with iOS 7. There is so much truth in that one sentence!
There is so much noise out there about screen size, n core processors and price comparisons you can never get a good feel of what the product really is. By the time you figure out you were taken on a marketing hike, a new model comes out and the story starts all over again. (think of the nokia 40 megapixel camera, or the quad core samsung, those are exagerations to impress the consumer) Imagine the size of the jpg's on that phone, all those megapixels with the quality of a phone camera, ridiculous. Soon we will have 12-core phones with 7 inch screens, and people being led into thinking you can do everything on it, "one thing to rule them all", buy now! I saw a woman on the metro the other day with a 6' phone, I swear the thing was almost half the size of her head.
It's almost 2014 and you are complaining you can't send sms(which is a 25 year old technology by the way) with this new device. All your friends are using outdated tech and because you want to talk to them you want outdated tech too. Sms is insecure, easily snooped upon and recorded, the carrier charges for it and charges more for international sms, and so on... and on... internet chat has been free since the 1990s and it's about time it got free on our phones too.
Just forget about it. Enjoy other people taking the decisions, you can't take yourself, for you. Trust them, see if it fits, care about life, act emotionally when you "feel" like it. You deserve that, you are human, take the feeling home with you, share it with others.
Who cares if it's the 2014 edition or quad core... I gave my old iPad 3 to my grandmother so I could call her on Facetime. I bought the iPad Air on a whim, I just "felt" I wanted it. After a couple of weeks she thought about asking me if she could call my brother in the UK too, and how much it would cost. I said it was free, and she looked at me in disbelief. She is now calling my brother weekly by herself... she is 78. Can you imagine that... all I did is give her my "old" iPad.
Buying the iPad Air was the single best decision of my life, not because of the size or the weight or even iOS 7 (i do enjoy them by the way) but because it made me give my old iPad to my grandmother.
She doesn't even understand how it works, I figured it would be too much useless stuff to mention... it just does! Here put your finger here and here, then tap the name... wait for him to answer. Unbelievable!!!
PS. I figured the best gift I can make is give my old Apple devices to people who would never in a million years buy one for themselves. You see them in shops, they are our mothers and friends... they look at the huge prices and they would never give that much to themselves, they feel they don't deserve it. They gave me money to buy all the useless cr@p I ever wanted in my youth, the least I could do is gift them my "old tech" to enrich their lives. Going to buy a 5S soon and give my 4S to someone for free, but it's going to be someone I care deeply about, deeply enough to change their lives.

Send iMessages to non apple users with my iPad air

My macbook air is intermittent in sending iMessages to non apple users. Also, when it does work, it does not show the name of the contact even though they are in my contact book.

You cannot send texts from an iPad.

Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

iMessage is from Apple to communicate with other Apple devices.
iPad is not a phone and does not have SMS/MMS services from a carrier. There are apps that can do this, search the App Store.

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.

Can't send pics to non iPhone users

Hi new to apple have new phone t mobile as carrier. Can't send photos in messages to non iPhone users which is most of my friends. Please advise

Unless your friends are using an iOS device with an active iMessage account set up on it, you can only use regular SMS texting and MMS through your cell service provider.
In your message settings, you will need to have "send as sms" enabled, and have the slider for SMS/MMS set to "ON". If it still does not work, then you need to contact T-Mobile and tell them your MMS service does not seem to be functioning properly.

My iphone wont send all texts to droid user

Ok. You know how when 2 iphone/apple users are texting and both have the same software update with the Icloud that their conversation bubbles in the text message are grey and blue. Grey being what they sent you and Blue what you sent them. Furthermore, when you are texting a non-iphone/apple user the conversation bubbles are Grey*what they sent you* and Green*what you sent them*
Now my fiance switched from her iphone 3gs to a Droid just 2 days ago.
I have a 3gs as well and we have noticed if I or her friends using an Iphone send a text message to her and it shows up on our phones as a blue conversation bubble *as if she still has her iphone* she does not receive our texts. But if our phones send her a text and they come up as a green conversation bubble, she gets them..
any idea on how to fix this to where all of our texts we send to her come up as a normal Green conversation bubble since she is no longer an iphone user.
We are constantly busy and need to be in contact with each other.
PLEASE HELP ASAP

My husband has a new Droid (used to use an Iphone) and I have a new Iphone (used to have a 4, now have a 4S). All texts I sent to him came back to my phone. How we finally solved the problem:
1) Turned out I'd registered my phone under his ICloud account. I went onto the Apple site and registered an account with ICloud.
2) My husband unregistered his old Iphone per the above advice.
3) I went into Settings - ICloud - and all the way at the bottom of that screen, selected "delete account" and deleted the account.
4) Going back into ICloud, I re-registered under my new ID.
5) We both rebooted our phones.
Solved!
Hope that helps.

Imessage wont send pics but can send texts

i message wont send any pics but if i turn off imessage and send it as regular text it works but as soon as i turn imessage back on it wont send any pics to anyone i send it to. It says that it is delivered but they never get it any help please

I'm having the same problem too... Also when I try to send a message it doesn't go through, it says "Not Delivered" in red underneath the message. Also receiving messages is sometimes affected because my friend sent me an iMessage at 10am and I only received it at 11:46am.
I have a 4S and recently upgraded to iOS6. Is this something Apple is fixing? I tried searching for a solution or announcement of some kind but came up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wont' send Pic Messages

I am suddenly unable to send picture messages from my HTC Rhyme. I get and error that says "No support for 640x480 under the restriction creation mode" It will let me send low resolution pictures, but that is not good enough. I haven't changed anything since the last time I was able to send pics. I have checked for software updates, reactivated my phone, done a factory reset, cleared all temp files, and made sure there is enough space on my memory card. But still nothing. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi there Cmae82!
Sharing your life in HD quality is an awesome feature! Let's get you back into clicking away in HD.
When you're trying to send these photos, what type of signal indicator are you seeing on your phone (1X, 3G, Wi-Fi)?
Are you able to send the high resolution photo via email? The file size over 3G for a picture message does have a limit and it may be meeting that limit based on your description.
Try email out for me and let me know how that works!
Thanks,

Sending pics to non-blackberry phones??

I'm not sure if I'm just missing it or what. When I take a pic with my camera on my phone I can't send it the regular old way to just anyone in my address book. I can use email, messenger, bluetooth, even by myspace...but that's it. Is there any other way to send my pics by phone numbers??? I have Sprint...don't know if that matters or not...

Sending to a verizon customer is a bit more trickier than this:
My work around for VZW is
First I have the Google mobile app installed which allows me to access my Gmail instantly..
If you don't have a Gmail acct, set one up.
Send a pic or vid to your Gmail address…
Open up your Gmail acct on your BB
Once the Pic/Vid is received into your inbox forward it to the VZW user using the carrier extension provided above ( [email protected])
As far as I know, using the carrier extensions to send Pic Mail works for all carriers with the exception of Verizon.

Sending iMessage to non-verizon users

I have an iPhone 4s. I can send an iMessage to other iPhone users as long as they are verizon customers. I have one friend who is an iPhone 4s user as well but she has ATT. We used to be able to iMessage each other with no problems. Now all of a sudden if I send her an iMessage it will only go through as "Sent as Text Message". But if she sends me a message it goes through as an iMessage. If I respond right away it will go through as an iMessage. So basically when I initiate the message it will only send as a text message. And then she does not always get the text message. But this really just started a few days ago! please help.

The other user needs to have a device that is iOS 5 capable have iMessage and a data connection enabled for example if they have an iPhone 3 (not the 3GS ) which will not support iOS 5 or higher then iMessage is not an option on that iPhone
