Iphone picture/video messaging option diappeared

i went to send a picturetoday only to discover that the picture and video messaging option was completely gone in my text. then i went into my photos on my phone and went into the sharing option and the only one missing was mms. how can this be fixed?

Did you change your AT&T data plan as part of the upgrade? MMS needs to be enabled on the carrier side - might try calling AT&T (611 from your phone).

Question Re Picture & Video Messaging (PIX Place)

Ok, so I have the LG Accolade (i.e., no micro SD card) on the Prepaid Core plan, and have been trying to access the original picture files I have taken at their maximum 1.3 MP resolution (1280 x 960 pixels).
In an earlier thread, it was suggested to me that I try uploading the photo(s) in question to Verizon's PIX Place (Picture & Video Messaging). From my phone, I chose [Send] To Online Album (which cost the standard 25¢ MMS fee deducted from airtime), read & agreed with the online TOS, etc., and logged in.
I saw the photo icon in the "My Media" folder, but when I clicked the VIew Larger link, this was all I got (image below is reproduced here at original size as it displayed on the webpage).... What does, "The original uploaded image size and resolution are preserved in your account" mean? Where is this "online account," and how can I preview/download it to my PC?
I'd like to be able to display some of these photos in our (mid-sized) digital photo frame here at home (for starters). Surely these tiny little (426 x 320) pixel images are not all the 1.3 MP camera phones are capable of producing??

Why don't you just download them onto the computer then re-size them in a photo program? You can use a free online resizer or this free batch resizer. It will resize a whole folder and keep originals in tact. As far as I know the zoom function in the IE browser is just that a zoom function and not a picture resizer. Mary
If I were able to simply "download them onto [my] computer" (i.e. at their original size), I wouldn't be posting these questions, as that is precisely what I'd wished to do in the first place. But this is what has been at issue with this phone since the proverbial Day One.
As I explained before in another earlier thread, the USB cable that came with the phone does NOTHING. When you connect it to the PC, it won't even recharge the phone (which according to the user's manual it is supposed to do without fanfare), much less access the phone memory or transfer any data. The Hardware Wizard comes up on Windows and it asks for a *Modem* driver, which: a) the modem is not what is needed here; and b) there is no compatible driver to be found. Seems something was said somewhere else on these forums about switching the default from Modem to USB Mass Storage; but there is no external memory card and I cannot find anything resembling this in the phone menus.
The thing about resizing digital image files is, you can make them smaller, but not larger. Well technically you can (depending on your image editing program); but the resolution in almost all cases will be *really crappy* and it defeats the purpose. From what I see of PicResize.com, it doesn't do anything I can't do myself (offline) using the freeware image editor from Irfanview. In fact, if you'll notice from the screenshot I've posted below, all the prefigured options are for making the photo smaller (25%, 50% and 75% of original size). When I chose Custom (to change Verizon's 426 x 320 "downsized" version back to the original 1280 x 960 res.) all that did was to double the filesize (in kilobytes) of the uploaded image.
What I'm thinking is that Verizon has in some way deliberately crippled these phones so that the customer cannot utilize the original 1.3 MP camera images at full resolution. If it wasn't so, seems that a VZW representative would've already responded to one of these threads and cleared things up for us, if it were designed to be easy or intuitive. But that's not what's happening. Despite all the unnecessary hoops we've tried jumping through so far, nothing has worked. I could be mistaken about that -- I hope I am and it's an option or setting somewhere on the camera that I have missed -- though I personally doubt it. Either way, I am posting these things so that others will know (hopefully in advance of purchase) what the LG VX5600 phone is capable of (on Verizon's prepay service) and what it is not. No sense having a 1.3 MP camera if all you can get from it is a tiny image less than normal VGA resolution -- the more basic Samsung U350 Smooth is capable of that! As a selling point for this phone, it is 100% moot.

Picture/Video message in My Usage

Under "My current usage"... Picture and video messages are being missed alltogether... I have matched texts to the minute but picture/video messages sent to me are being missed entirely in the log for some reason...
Also under message type... Im not seing any "picture messages"

Hi,
When you log into My Verizon, just above the meter showing your usage, click on View Usage. Go down to Text Messages Used and click on View Messaging Details. In the Usage Type, select Picture Messaging/Video Messaging. There you will have all of your MMS picture and video messages sent and received for the billing cycle. I hope this helps.

Blackberry Storm 2 9550 Picture/video Messages

I bought theis brand new unlocked phone...
I am on the BELL network here in Canada
There is no option to send a picture message or really anything other than basic SMS
And
I cannt receive anything along those lines either???
My package includes picture and video messaging but it is going to waste as I cannot do anything with it
Please help!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
With BlackBerry, MMS (that's what "picture messaging" technically is) is enabled by delivery to the BB of specific Service Books for it. To get those, I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Android 4 receiving picture/video messages help

I just recently purchased an Android 4 and I am having issues with receiving picture and video messages. I get the message with the two options of download and reject. Everytime I try and download it, it sits there saying it's downloading but then it fails. This happens every time. Anyone know how I can get this to work? I wasn't able to find any specific options in any menus to change anything.

Hi PainofDemise. I am here to help with your picture messaging issue. There are not any additional settings you need to turn on to allow picture messaging to work. As long as data is working on the phone and picture messaging is setup on your account correctly, it should work. Are you able to access data on your phone? Is your phone showing 3G or 4G when trying to send picture messages? Try powering off and back on and then try sending yourself a picture message. If you are still having issues, please send me a direct message (hover over my name and choose direct message) with your name and mobile number so that I can verify that your account is setup correctly.
Thank you,

How to store all iPhone pictures/videos on iCloud?

I have a 30G iPhone 5S. I subscribe and pay for 200G in iCloud storage. I am trying to have all my photos and videos be saved from my phone onto iCloud which I can then also access on our MacBook. Under "General -- Usage -- Manage Storage" I have selected "Camera Roll" to back up to iCloud. Also, under "Settings -- iCloud " I have"Photos" sleected. I keep getting warnings that I do not have sufficient storage to take pictures and videos.
Questions:
1. How do I back up and store my entire "Photo Library" (i.e. pictures and videos) to my iCloud account?
2. How do I sync all the pictures and videos on my iPhone to my MacBook? Not just the "Photo Stream" pictures?
I thought by purchasing the iCloud space, I would have the 200G to take as many videos/pictures as I wanted since they would be stored there and not on my actual phone with the limited hardware storage. Please advise....this is SO frustrating!
Information:
Product - iPhone 5S
OS - 7.1.1 (11D201)
Model - ME309LL/A
Capacity - 27.4GB

An iPhone backup to iCloud stores the photos on iCloud but the backup of the photos (and the other data on the phone) are only useable for a complete restore (e.g, in the event of a problem with the phone or when moving data to a new phone).
Apple does not have a method of storing all iPhone photos on iCloud using iOS 7 in a way that you could then access them and sync to a Mac other than Photo Stream.
iCloud Photo Library (beta) can be used to store your photos on iCloud in a way that they can be retrieved but you would need to upgrade your phone to iOS 8.
You turn iCloud Photo Library (beta) on via Settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photo Library (Beta). There is more information at iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
Note the following quote from that link:
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your iOS device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. iCloud Photo Library stores the original, high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and can keep lightweight, device-optimized versions on each of your devices. As long as you have enough storage, recent photos and videos that you access the most will stay on your device at full resolution.
To turn on Optimize [device] Storage on your device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select Optimize [device] Storage. You need an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Also note that the new Photos app for the Mac that integrates with iCloud Photo Library has not yet been released but is expected with the next release of Yosemite (i.e., OS X 10.10.3); In the meantime you could access them via a browser at iCloud.com.
With iOS 7 there are other 3rd party solutions (not involving iCloud) that may do what you want. Examples you may want to investigate include Flickr and Dropbox.

Block Call Fails to stop picture text messages

I have been getting picture messages with long rambling text with it which are inappropriate from someone whose number I do not recognize. I have blocked the number on the myverizon website, but I am still getting them. I don't know how to stop this jerk from sending them when the blocking doesn't seem to work. Is there something else I can do or did I do something wrong? I tried looking the number up, but all the places on the net want my money to tell me who owns the number. One said it was a land line in Cheyenne, WY and another said it was a mobile in the Lander, Wyoming area. So even if I paid I'm not confident that the correct party would be identified. Help please.

The call message block feature prevents calls and normal texts but when it comes to picture/video messages, the subject line still gets through(no message or picture though). If you're still getting the message, try calling cs and having them remove then readd the block(the feature not just the number) then add the number again. Also you could try updating your phone if you haven't with *228, option 1. Hope this helps ^.^

PIX-FLIX Text sent to phone, but actual video message does not appear in messaging area online.

I received a text message saying I received a Flix message. However I must access it by going online to vzwpix.com. So I went online right after and the website said it was down for maintenance. So I checked back a few hours later. I logged in. Went to Send Picture and Video Message. Then went to the Messaging Tab. However there was no message.
A few things come to mind why I might not have received my message. Since the person who sent the message had sent it during the time when the website was down, the message never went through?!
Another thing I noticed. When in my Picture & Video Messaging I see the Folders "Drafts" and "Sent Messages" however when I put my cursor over the "?" next to Folders it mentions a "Received Messages" folder should be included. However under the actual Folders the "Received Messages" folder does not exist. So maybe the message I was sent never had a default folder to be sent to?!
My phone was notified I was sent a message. I followed the directions. No message appears where it should be. Please help!
On a side note. I tried going to the "Contact Us" link at the top right of the page to get help. However, everytime I click it, refresh, etc. I get sent to the page "http://www.verizonwireless.com/backbutton.html". This is obviously a broken link.
Frusterated Customer seeking help ... Thanks in advance for help on this issue.

Still no answer to the question. Is this bogus or what?! I get a message from my Daughter-in-Law asking if I got my Mothers' Day song my grandkids sent this morning. No, I get this Flix message at this website text. Here I am now, registering and changing passwords I've never had to this 'forum' with no help and now Flix message. I''ve ignored these messages that I have received before now because of the drama. This time I follow through because of Grandkids for this.
I'm so frustrated that I've wasted so much of my time for naught. What do I tell the grandbabies? How can we avoid this from happening in the future? Was their song too long to send as picture/video message directly to my phone?
Why are their no answers anywhere? You've got to be kidding me.
Sore customer!

Why do not every picture/video AirDrop back to the time it was taken?

I have a 64GB iPad and a 16GB iPhone. Since my iPad has way more storage than my iPhone, I wanted to transfer photos and videos from months ago from my iPhone to my iPad to free up some space on my iPhone. I tried using iCloud services such as iCloud Photo Library (wouldn't let me just transfer photos from my iPhone to my iPad) and My Photo Stream (I want full resolution photos on my iPad) but they seemed too complicated Or wouldn't achieve what I want (iPhone pictures/videos transferred to my iPad. So I decided to try AirDrop and when transferring these pictures/videos I wanted them to still have the dates they were taken so things don't get mixed up (A picture of me swimming in the summer next to me skiing in the winter). However when using AirDrop some pictures would go transfer to their original dates while others would go to the bottom of my photos not being in the time period they were taken. Is there anyway I can fix this so that ALL my photos/videos being transferred over AirDrop will go back be within the time periods they were originally taken? Thanks all feed back is much appreciated.
if your unsure of what I want to achieve with AirDrop, an example would be wanting a photo taken back in September to not appear at the bottom of my photos in January.
If there are any other better methods of transferring photos than AirDrop or iCloud please feel free to tell me them.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Cannot send or receive video messages on Windows X...

Hello,
Can anyone please help with this issue. I cannot send or receive any video messages from my desktop. I have Windows XP ; and I do not use the Internet Explorer.
I have looked through the Community Blog and deleted some files from the Skype folder. However installing the latest version of skype and restarting computer hasnt helped. In fact, the video message option doesnt even light up. That is: I can't select that option at all.
Is it some glitch? What can I do to rectify this.
I can see the link to the video if someone sends it to me but as soon as I click the play button; it just gets blocked.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not a glitch. Sending Video Messages was never available on Windows XP computers. This feature is only available on Windows 7 and higher systems.
You should be able to receive Video Messages. However, for this you need to install the latest Internet Explorer IE8 version for Windows XP and download Flash Player for Internet Explorer.
