Iphone5 text message photos

Phone not loading text message photos, last 2 days only, nothing has changed in settings

Wifi won't help in this case. It needs to be cellular data. iCloud has nothing to do with this.
First, try quitting the Messages app entirely by double tapping the Home button, tapping and hold the Messages icon in the Recents tray and then tapping the red "minus" sign. See if that helps. Try resetting your phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons at the same time until the silver apple appears. Try contacting your carrier and making sure that your account is properly provisioned for MMS (unlikely to be the problem but, well, who knows).

Firmware Upgrade - OLD Text Messages/Photos Appearing BEFORE I Text

I recently went through the Thunderbolt Firmware Upgrade. All is well EXCEPT when I go to answer a text message. BEFORE I start typing, old messages and photos that I had sent to a totally different recipient months ago, are already entered into the response text box. I have to back out (back space) to get rid of text or I have to delete an arbitrary photo which was AUTOMAGICALLY inserted for me!
Not only does this waste my time, it can be very confusing! I could also inadvertently send private photos or private texts which were meant and sent to someone else MONTHS ago, to someone they were never intended for....!
Anyone else have their text messaging being hijacked by the operating system since the recent firmware upgrade??
Not sure who is responsible for the fix on this but, from what I see on this forum, I am lucky by comparison, to the other issues being experienced by those who updated their firmware (2/11/2013) when Verizon forced it onto us.
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! Does no one BETA TEST these upgrades before they are forced upon us?

How do I restore deleted text message photo attachments?

I deleted a group of text messages with attached photos by mistake from my iPhone 5. After doing a restore from my most recent backup, the text messages are restored, but many of the photos only show a file name. The files are primarily jpegs along with a few .png and .mov. Should I try to do another backup and restore or is there another way to get back the missing photos?

As we know, every time you sync iDevice with iTunes, it will automatically make a backup of your iDevice contents including photos, SMS, reminders, contacts and more. Therefore, as long as you have ever synced your iPhone with iTunes, you can recover deleted text messages from iPhone. Do not connect your iPhone to iTunes again until the messages are recovered with iPhone Data Recovery. Otherwise, the old backup file will be overwritten by the current content on your iPhone. Once it happens, the deleted messages will be gone forever.

Sync iPhone with new computer but keep text messages / photos etc

Hi,
So I have an iPhone 4 that I always synced with my Mac Book Pro. I now use a Mac Pro tower computer as my primary machine. I hear you can only sync with one computer at a time (is this true?) well if so, I'd like to start syncing my iphone with the tower for now on, but am concearned cause my friend was in the same predicament and had a bunch of stuff erased. I see online a lot of people say to manually transfer your music to the new computer and sync, but I want to make sure everything else is properally done as well including contacts photos and the text message / call history etc.
My itunes music is already transfered to the tower. I beleve my "contacts" app is mostly updated on my tower , and even more updated on the phone itself. The photos are only on my iphone, and the text message / call / voicemails are only on the phone ( I dont even think those could be backed up). So - should I just go ahead and try and sync it with the new computer?
What option would I choose...I don't think I wanna swipe it...and although I have my music on the tower, my contacts / photos are on the phone so what is the best way of properly doing this?
Thanks

You just have to set your preferences in iTunes.
You can choose not to delete contacts etc from the iPhone. After you connect the iPhone, click on the iPhone icon that shows up in iTunes, and go to the appropriate tab, and check / uncheck what you want or don't want.
I don't think text messages get deleted or changed.

How can i retrieve my old text messages?

I synced my iphone 5s to the computer for the first time and all my personal data was wiped such as text messages, photos, emails and contacts they were then replaced with my dads information? How do i get my stuff back?

Hello rosebud56,
I understand how important those precious memories are! Are your device settings and call logs still present on the phone? Did you change any settings or select the option to reset to factory settings? Have you restarted the phone since the messages disappeared? I am eager to continue troubleshooting with you!
Thank you,

I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the text messaging app, that would be a huge flop for apple. It has to look and feel like bbm or it will just suck.

I sure hope that the new imessenger doesn't look like the current text messaging app, that would be a huge flop. I think I should look and feel like the bbm to make any kind of significant impact. Am I wrong?

"iMessage in iOS 5 brings the functionality of iPhone messaging to all of your iOS devices―iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Built right into the Messages app, iMessage allows you to easily send text messages, photos, videos or contact information to a person or a group on other iOS 5 devices over Wi-Fi or 3G. iMessages are automatically pushed to all your iOS 5 devices, making it easy to maintain one conversation across your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iMessage also features delivery and read receipts, typing indication and secure end-to-end encryption."
That is from the Apple site. If all your friends have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad you cang share with your friends, with is exactly like BlackBerry Messenger (BBM only works on BBs).
And it does look just like the current message format. You can also find that at www.Apple.com

Hello junkyardbabydoll
I'm sorry you lost your information. I know how important those picture and information can be. Let's see if we can get this resolved. Was the computer logged in to a different Apple id? Here's a great link about itunes back ups: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4074079?start=15&tstart=0
I hope this helps. If not we can further troubleshoot with you.

HT1688 I have an iPhone5, my boyfriend has a Motorola AndroidX. I can send him text messages no problem, but if he sends me one, with or without pictures, it never somes through. I have to do a "hard" shutdown on my phone in order to retrieve his text and

Help, I ehave iphone5, boyfriend has Motorola Android, I can send him texts, with and without photos, he receives them right away. When he sends me a text, with or without pictures, I get nothing until I do a hard shutdown of my phone and when it comes back on, messages older than 4-5 hours pop up. Sometimes they don't arrive at all and he is forcecd to use email.
Please tell me how to fix this problem. I have gone through Technical Support many, many times, resetting networks etc., trouble with voicemail, now getting text messages "blank" from Unknown. AT&T says it is there software problem. I have had so many problems since receiving this phone, on-going daily calls to AT&T.
Can anyone out there help me with the issue of being able to receive text messages from my boyfriends Anroid?
I can so use your help desperately.
Thanks,
Kathy Vega

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Trying to open a received text message with many photos and application closes after 3-4 seconds

I have an iphone5s. I received a text message with many photos attached. when I select that message to open, there is a 2-3 second delay before it will open. Once it does open, it will remain open for 3-4 seconds and the messaging app closes. All other messaging features work fine. It's just this one message with all of the pictures attached.

This is a recurring question. I don't have an answer, but if in the Search Discussions box you enter SFWordProcessing plug-in, you'll find an answer.

When I send a photo via a text message...

When I send a picuture via a text message using my iPhone 5, the text message contains all the photos that I have sent/received from a particular person. Is there a way to stop this so that I only send one picture at a time? I do not think I should have to send a text message that contains multiple pictures every time I send a picture to that same person.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
Well, there are several things that can cause the device to reset.
One, corrupted data. If you have corrupted data on the device, when trying to access it, it can and most likely will, cause the device to reset.
Two, Low memory. If the device has low memory, the device will operate slow and most likely reset because it doesn't have a lot of free space. The free space remaining on the device is it's thinking room you could say. The smaller the thinking margin, the more likely it will not perfrom correctly. Best way to fix memory issues is to get an SD card and save all media files to the SD card.
Three, incompatible software. If there is incompatible 3rd party programs installed on the device this can cause several problems. Resets, missing data, and other functions not performing correctly.
The best thing I can recommend you do is a hard reset. A hard reset will erase all data on the device but restore all settings to default. Be sure to backup your data on a PC before performing a hard reset. For further information and instructions on how to do a hard reset go to kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the solution ID search field.
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

You can call you're carrier and have them unlock it.

Can't send photos with a text message

Every time I try to send a photo from my Camera Roll with a text message it thinks about it for an interminable time then drops leaving an exclamation mark next to the message. It used to be ok but stopped about a week ago. Any ideas anyone?

You're not alone! I have been searching for resolving this problem but I still have the problem.
Things you might want to check is that MMS is "on". Get to this by settings- messaging.
Check that "cellular data" is on.
try to power the iPhone off for a few minutes, then turn back on.
The only thing I have not tried is to reset the network. What I have read is that it wil not affect contacts, media, music. Tap settings- general, then scroll to the botton and tap reset, then tap reset network settings.
I alo wanted to mention that I have no problem sending a photo in an sms/mms message to other ios devices. The photo and text goes through. It's just with other reciepients that have a different device.
I also have Verizon as the carrier and I tried the *228 to program. My phone is also supplied by an enterprise, my work, and reading this Apple troubleshooting, the APN (access network), could have something to do with it on the settings or configuration of the server.
