IPhone Messages won't display pictures after clicking on thumbnail.

On iOS6 either sending or recieving a picture in messages will yield a thumbnail in the thread view, but if you click on it instead of the full image being displayed it says "Loading..." then never shows the image.

Just do a hard reset. Hold your power button and home button at the same time until you see the Apple symbol. Then let go and let iOS reboot. It should be fixed after that.

  • My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

    My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?
    I went into Settings to see if there was a component of it within Messages. I don't see anything.
    Thoughts please.....
    Thanks much

    iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

    P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.

  • Mail Messages won't display on iphone 4

    I have a .mac and a gmail account set up on my phone. I can see the messages in my inbox for all accounts but the individual emails won't display when I go to read them, the message portion of the email is blank. I can see the "from" an "to" and just the message is missing! Any thoughts?

    Rebooting the phone seems to have solved this for the time being. I will let everyone know if it recurs.

  • Messages won't display images, sandbox violation?

    Can anyone help me figure out why, when I receive an iMessage that contains a photo or other image, Messages on Yosemite won't display the image? It appears to be a sandbox permissions issue, but I can't figure out how to resolve it.
    Briefly, when I receive an iMessage that contains any image, the image displays just fine on my iOS devices, but in OS X Yosemite (10.10.1, build 14B25), it just shows up as a generic icon (attached at the bottom of this question). Clicking the icon or magnifying glass doesn't load it, double-clicking it doesn't load it, Quick View won't show it... nothing. If I look in /var/logs/system.log, any attempt to view it generates sandbox-related errors:
    Messages[30820]: [Warning] Transfer: unable to create image for IMG_2758.JPG.jpeg
    kernel[0]: Sandbox: Messages(30820) deny file-read-data /private/var/folders/7l/cn4n4k4n4p31ncqq9qqk1klrydkmkm/T/IMG_2758.JPG.jpeg
    If I manually open up that directory (/private/var/folders/7l/cn4n4k4n4p31ncqq9qqk1klrydkmkm/T/) I can see the image and open it myself, but Messages can't do it... and I can't for the life of me figure out how Messages's sandbox is configured and what is going on here.
    This all happened when I upgraded to Yosemite; prior to Yosemite, everything worked fine. I've tried to blow away /private/var/folders/7l/ and let it get rebuilt, to no avail. I've also hunted for Messages's sandbox config file, to no avail.
    Help?
    Thanks in advance!
    Jason

    Hi,
    That does seem odd.
    I mentioned the Containers things as this is the Read and Write route that the app uses (normally to the aliases in the /Data/Library/Preferences that pints to ~/library/Preferences)
    I also looked in those places but for IDS, SOAgent and IMAgent that are also involved but no luck.
    On your Console Location for the Var Stuff I have this
    See Path Bar across bottom. This pic of Dec 1st I had to open in Preview.
    A Different view if it helps
    I am not sure what to suggest at this point.

  • IPhone messages won't delete, can't free enough space?

    Hello,
    I'm on an iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. I'm almost out of storage... I have 8.96 GB of "Documents & Data" and 8.51 GB of "Other."
    Usage in settings indicates that I have 8.8 GB of messages saved. So I have to delete my messages. However, even after I restart, all my messages reappear and I have not freed any space. How come the messages keep reappearing when I try to delete them? Is there a way for me to delete them permanently?
    And, what is this "other" category that is taking up so much space? I know that other used to be app data, but now with iOS 7 that has been split up into "Documents & Data."
    So, how come my messages won't delete? Is there a way for me to permanently delete them to free space?
    And how can I clear up space from my "Other" category?
    Thanks so much for the help!

    There is corrupted data on the phone.  You need to restore the phone using iTunes, without restoring a backup.

  • Messages won't send pictures or files.

    Hello,
    My Messages in Mountain Lion won't send pictures or files (using imessage). It did work for a few days but has now stopped. The strange thing is Messages beta in Lion still works perfectly. I've tried deactivating anf activating account and still no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I've been with the same problem for a couple of days, until finally today Messages simply stopped showing even a the window, so absolute inability to use it.
    Considering that reinstalling the operating system is NOT a solution, I searched for something myself.
    Pictures are controlled by xpcd, imagent and Messages, and it seems that when the problem arises is because they're using the wrong Apple server.
    While this may be solved by Apple in a update (I hope so), in the meantime you can do a workaround (it worked for me on two different machines, and even days old images appeared).
    In your Library, there is a folder called Preferences (that is /Users/<your_username>/Library/Preferences). There you should delete com.apple.imagent.plist com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist, with Messages CLOSED. Then reboot so Messages creates new ones. Also delete all file starting with com.apple.imagent, com.apple.imservice, com.apple.imessage and com.apple.iChat that end in .lock.
    If even then it still is not working, deleting all files starting with com.apple.imagent, com.apple.imservice, com.apple.imessage and com.apple.iChat 100% for sure. But when you reboot you'll find you need to input again your login data for iMessage, FaceTime, Yahoo chat, AIM chat, Google Talk and Jabber (if you used them on Messages/iChat).
    This is an annoyance, but less than a whole operating system reinstall or losing the functionality.
    After all of this is done you should regain the ability to receive photos, send photos and drag&drop photos.

  • Iphone 4 won't take pictures, says manage storage

    My camera won't work sometimes on my iphone 4. It says go to settings and manage storage, can't take any more pictures and I only have about 900 pictures. Now on my iphone 3g, I never had this problem and I had 3000 pictures on it. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Yes I am experiencing the same problem! Frustrating because I also had about 4000 photos on my 3g IPhone and my current phone IPhone 4 says the same thing I have about 1000 pictures and it gives me the same message can not take picture "go to settings and manage storage" I found myself deleting most of my apps just to take more picture but even that only temporarly works. Please get back to me if you resolved this problem. ***** huh.

  • Random messages won't display in Mail

    Hi,
    Using Mail 2.0.8 on a MacBook Pro 2GHz running Mac OS X 10.4.5.
    Main account is set-up as IMAP. Recently, I began noticing that some messages will not display in Mail, nor will they be marked as read. The message shown in the preview pane is:
    The message from <sender> <sender email> concerning “subject” has not > been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in > order to download it.
    However, the account is online. All other messages received at the same time display properly. There are no characteristics common among or unique to messages that behave like this, at least as far as I can discern. Ultimately, without any specific actions, the messages will display properly.
    If I go to my webmail account and read the message, Mail will update soon after to show that it has been read. So clearly the account is online, as Mail can send and receive commands to set the status. Still, the message will not display.
    Has anyone experienced similar behavior, and have you found a solution?
    Thanks!
    Patrick

    Ernie, David, et al,
    Perhaps I spoke too soon. I continue to have the same problem with Mail and my IMAP accounts, which are advancing beyond annoying. I am now considering moving to another email application, which is something I really don't want to do. Following is a brief update:
    * After moving the Mail folder and plist file to my desktop, restarting Mail and entering my accounts again, it worked properly for a short period of time. The behavior reappeared soon thereafter. (I had mboxes on my Mac, not on the server, and for some reason I cannot import them again).
    * I have a bad habit of using my email as a file system, so my inbox was huge. So I took the time to create a bunch of mboxes, file messages, and otherwise clean my inbox. It's now 1/4 the size it was. I'm also trying to habitualize dealing with email and attachments to either file or delete messsages when the come in (so far, so good).
    * When I get a message that exhibits this behavior, I can now Rebuild the mailbox and the message will show. Rebuild occurs quickly because my mailbox is so much smaller, and I've not lost any messages. The messages that previously would not display at all now display properly. However, I must Rebuild every time I receive a message of this type, which occurs several times per day.
    * It appears that messages with attachments display properly, but those without do not. It also appears to be highly likely that all the messages originate from an Exchange Server (I know this to be true of several clients, and others are very likely). I also know for a fact that many that I receive properly are not using Exchange Server.
    * Calendar invitations from Notes work as intended (show up in Mail as ICS files, notifications appear in iCal which allow me to set my status and reply); however, those from Exchange Server only show as text messages (and don't display until I rebuild).
    It appears to me that the problem may lie, at least in my case, to how Mail handles Exchange Server items in IMAP mode, and not just an IMAP bug, but again, I cannot isolate this and be 100% certain.
    Will keep you posted.
