Iphone won't send image on iMessage says "delivered"

I'm suddenly having this weird issue where i can't send images through imessage. It would say "delivered" on the bottom of the image but none of my friends are able to receive it. Another thing that is acting up is my imessage on my macbook. Whenever i send a message to someone, it would deliver as my email, not my number where it used to be. I resetted a whole bunch of stuff, made sure all my settings are correct including the option where it being sent to is my phone number.
Anyone has a solution for this? this just suddenly happen a couple of days ago. The imessage sync between my phone and my mac used to work perfectly fine.
Thanks and I appreciate whoever can help.

While that's a possible root cause, the fact that he has no issues with other iPhone users suggests that it's something else at hand.
I would check the setting I mentioned, but also try the steps pdroth mentioned if that doesn't resolve it.

  • IPhone 5 cannot send images by iMessage OR MMS

    My iPhone 5 is about to go in the garbage, and it's only a year old.
    For months I've been dealing with being unable to send pictures to contacts by iMessage.  Now in the last week I cannot send by MMS either.
    I also cannot send on my iPad.
    I've read through numerous forum postings and let me assure you that absolutely nothing has worked.  Here is what I can remember doing so far, but to be honest I've been troubleshooting on my own for a while so I am probably forgetting things.
    Restore iPhone
    Troubleshooting on this blog: http://shudhtech.blogspot.in/2014/03/fix-for-imessage-problems-showing-my.html
    Reset network settings
    Change iCloud and AppleID password
    Remove AppleID from iMessage, use only phone number
    Double-check that MMS is turned on
    Double-check that numbers aren't blocked
    Double-check that it isn't on the recipient end.  Considering it's all of my contacts and they can send everything to me just fine it is obviously not their fault.
    Contact service provider, they say it's an issue with Apple
    Clear out iPhone memory, I have almost 8GB of free space
    Update to latest iOS
    Tried sending on WiFi and LTE, doesn't work on either
    I'm extremely frustrated by this and cannot believe that so many people are having these issues and many people do not seem to be able to find a fix, as evidenced by how many postings there are about it.  If this is a software bug I'm flabbergasted that an update to fix it hasn't been released.

    My carrier is Rogers.
    The MMS issue is not a consistent issue.  I will try to send a picture by iMessage and then when it fails I can try by text.  Then sometimes that will fail.  Additionally, I will be talking with people who are also on the Rogers network who will be able to send me pictures without any issues at the same time that I am having issues, so I do not believe this is a network issue.  I can send MMS from my backup Android phone without any problems.
    I'm not as concerned about the MMS issue.  If iMessage worked I wouldn't need it to begin with so I want the iMessage issue to be resolved. iMessage predated the MMS issue by several months and given the volume of complaints about it on these forums I don't think that is a carrier issue.
    MMS may be a carrier feature, however, if the device software is faulty and not sending messages properly to begin with that wouldn't necessarily make it a carrier issue.

  • IPhone won't send a non iMessage text

    Hi Everyone,
    My boyfriend and I both had iPhones with iOS7. He recently switched to a Samsung S4 and unregistered his iPhone with his iTunes account. My phone however, will not send a text to his phone unless iMessage is turned off in the settings. When I go to send a text, it still recognizes his phone as an iPhone. But he isn't having this issue with any other iPhone users. I've tried deleting him out of my phone, entering his number has a mobile not an iPhone, still nothing works! Any help or suggestions would be great! Thanks!

  • IPhone won't send iMessage (even when signed on Wi-FI or 3G)

    My iPhone won't send iMessages even when I try to connect through Wi-Fi or 3G. At first I thought it was my Wi-Fi but it wasn't since I can connect to programs such as Safari and Instagram. I have also reset my network settings. Can someone help me or have any idea how I can fix this?
    Thank you!

    Phone is not jailbroken.
    Got it re: passcode lock.
    If I do a system restore, but I restore as a new phone, will my crucial phone functionality remain intact (phone number, ability to make calls, etc.)? And when it's restored, do I then just do a sync to have all my data brought back into the device?
    Sync settings for calendar and contacts are enabled properly, and are the same as they have been for years. I'm not sure it's the calendar or contact data that is corrupted (although anything is possible) because the sync problems started happening exactly when the iMessage problems started happening.
    Please advise on the system restore (not from backup) and I will post my results. Just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything irreparable.
    Thanks...DG

  • I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send my texts

    I changed the password for my Apple ID and now my iPhone won't send out my texts....says they are undeliverable unless I send them out manually as texts.

    Hi sbiermann,
    If you have recently changed the password on your Apple ID account, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in to your Apple ID on your device for the change to take effect. You may find the following article helpful:

    Hey lozza567,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending MMS messages. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    Issues with sending and receiving MMS
    You will need these to send and receive MMS:
    - An iPhone 3G or later.
    - iOS 3.1 or later.
    - A cellular data connection. MMS isn't available if you are using only Wi-Fi.
    - A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You may need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact. Contact your carrier for more information.
    - A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network different from your billing cellular provider's network. Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps first
    1. Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
    3. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
    4. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you are roaming on a cellular provider network different from your billing provider's network.
    5. Verify that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar at the top left of your iPhone.
    6. Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
    7. Verify that you can send and receive SMS. If you are unable to send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above.
    8. MMS may not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
    9. Restart your iPhone.
    10. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    11. Reseat your SIM card.
    If you are still unable to send or receive MMS, follow these steps
    1. Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    2. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on group messaging if you are sending a group message.
    3. Make sure that you are using the area code with the contact's phone number. When sending messages internationally, you also need the contact's international code.
    4. Verify a "Pay as you go" MMS plan has enough available balance. Contact your carrier if unsure of your MMS plan or available balance.
    5. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    6. If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    7. Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    8. If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    9. Contact your carrier to verify that you are provisioned to send SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    10. Contact your carrier to verify that there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    11. Your carrier may require APN settings to be modified to use MMS. Learn more about when you should adjust APN settings.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.

    Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
    I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
    Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
    Anybody any ideas? Thanks, N

    Been having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
    I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
    Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
    Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
    Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
    ideas?

  • IPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    iPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

    I would manually go over each smtp setting and compare it with the mail providers guide
    and if they were 100% the same then I would
    get in touch with the phone company to verify if they were blocking the ports being
    used by the mail service
    there is no general issue with ios5 removing out going mail services or blocking ports

  • Iphone won't send mail - does receive

    This seems to have been discussed ad nauseum, but I can't figure out the solution for me.  I get the following message when trying to send or reply to emails "iphone won't send email  a copy has been placed in your outbox.  the sender address ______was rejected by the server".  On wifi everything works, not when I am off though.  My email provider is Roadrunner  (.twcny.rr.com)
    Everything was fine up until yesterday.  I don't know what could have changed.....
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm having same difficulty.   Was on tech support this AM and they couldn't figure it out either.   I'm setting up a home wifi in next few days, will be interested to see if situation changes.   My iPhone seems convinced that I'm [email protected] and tries to originate email from that address, only to be rejected by server as you describe.  I can receive email that is addressed to [email protected], but even replying to such mail gets the same error.  I'm beginning to suspect an ios5 bug, or there's something else about authorizing email addresses than is covered in documentation.

  • Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.

    Suddenly today, my iPhone won't send pictures to certain people...has worked fine until today.  Sends fine to some but not to others.  What's up?

    Like any electronic item, it sometimes gets inexplicably balled up. The reset is no different than rebooting a computer that is acting hinky. If you don't have to do it often, then it is not anythign to worry about. (I know - not the kind of tech talk you were probably expecting, but the words selected are about as scientific as you can get concerning this type of weirdness....)

  • My iphone 5S will send texts as imessage but frequently switches to regular (green) messages even for people that I know use imessage - since we have exchanged (blue) messages previously. Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a unit problem?

    Please help.

    You can try to log out of iMessage and then sign back in.  However, even under optimal conditions, iMessage will not always work.  That's why the option of 'Send as SMS' is so important.  There might be temporary outages in the related iMessage servers.
