MMS not working on AT&T via iOS 6 with iPhone 3GS

Hello to all, I need your help with a problem I am having using iPhone 3GS 16GB (AT&T) via iOS 6. I am having no luck being able to send any MMS's (Pics and Vids). I have reseted all settings, network, data, etc. to no avail. This phone sent everything perfectly prior to the iOS 6 update now all I do is send regular texts via SMS. Any help is greatly appreciated. This phone is not broken, and I've heard this from atleast half a dozen people they are having no luck sending MMSs as well. This update has been a disaster from its launch to know.

I was able to solve the problem by visiting the local ATT store. My 3gs, given to me by a friend, would not send or receive group or picture messages. I had simply inserted my non-smartphone sim, and upgraded my service for an iPhone. i fugured the service upgrade would do the trick. NOT. I tried every fix I could find in these forums to no avail. I was prepared to get a new phone but the great folks at the local ATT store (LInton, IN) simply logged into their ATT system on my account and inserted the serial# and IMEI number in the appropriate spot and BAM - messages started flying IN and OUT. No new phone yet. If, like me, you took an older non-smartphone provisioned SIM and used it in another phone - this may work for you. It took less than 10 minutes, after I had spent hours reading forums on APPLE and ATT and attempting multiple fixes.

Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation.

Bottom row of the keyboard is not working in a vertical orientation on the iPhone 3Gs. the "slide to unlock" and all keys on the calculator on both orientation works fine. I can use the keyboard on horizontal orientation. The tabs on bottom of all apps also work fine.
I have already tried holding down the power button and home button for 10 seconds, but no difference.

I've had this problem on and off for the last few weeks (around, but not directly related, to upgrade to 6.1...can't remember if was before or after)....I'm very convinced it's a software problem (as there have been times when the bottom row works perfectly, without any need to "press" differently or anything).
However, it seems to be a rather resilient software issue, as a full restore does not consistently fix it, and it applies to more than just the keyboard; if I open a drawing app, there's definitely a row (about 4mm up from the edge of the screen closest to home button) where I cannot draw.
It's happened 4 times now. Originally it went away with a restore from backup, then worked for 2 more days. The second and third times, it went away with a full restore (although I did two full restores in between those two restores that did nothing, so restore didn't consistently fix it)....and it seemed to return in the most random of circumstances.
I paid very close attention to what apps I was using the last time it was working so that I could spot which app, if any, might be causing the issue. I deleted several apps, I stopped using the games and many other apps. I only used three apps between it working fine and starting up as a problem again: mail, safari and messages.
I was convinced it was mail, as it happened this morning when I picked up my phone off the bedside table to respond to a new email. It was working when I went to bed. I picked up the phone when it buzzed, hit the email app, hit reply and started to type....**** bottom row wasn't working again.
However, tonight I did 2 things....one of them worked because it went back to normal (sorry, I don't know which as I was exasperated and trying a number of things).
The two things I did between a broken keyboard and a working keyboard were:
1) adding a second keyboard (English(Canada)), changing to this keyboard, and changing back
2) disabling Siri...and then turning it back on...and then disabling Siri's "Raise to Speak"
In retrospect, I wonder if it actually was the "Raise to Speak" that was putting the phone into a weird state, and might explain why the phone would just "suddenly" start behaving strangely when I picked it up. Of note, the "raise to speak" hasn't actually triggered Siri to come on in months anyway.
Regardless, the keyboard is back to normal now...and I'm just going to leave "Raise to Speak" off. I've put the keyboard back to just "English" with no alternates and Siri remains on otherwise without issue.

HT3529 How can I remove my Apple ID from a phone that is not working? I cannot text anyone with Iphone because the Apple ID and IMSG

My IPhone broke yet again due to "known issues", so I am back to an android. But, I cannot text anyone who has an IPhone, had this issue previously and Apple nor my carrier helped out. I have removed my number on Apple.com, as told by my carrier which doesn't help. Also, the IPhone did a factory reset by itself and cannot get past the plug in with itunes screen, and the phone will not stay on when plug it into a computer.

You need to immediately change the password for the Apple ID, for starters. If have iCloud and Find My iphone enabled on the device you can remotely wipe the device. If you do not then there is nothing you can do except change the password for the account.

IPhone 3G MMS Not Working After iOS4

After upgrading to iOS4 on 3G, lost the ability to send/rec MMS on Starhub network. Have made sure the option to enable MMS feature in Message Settings is turned on. No avail!!
Anyone facing the same problem??
Did restore a couple of times and MMS is still broken! what the,,,,,
Apple Engineers, are you monitoring this forum? Please get the fix quick!!

I didnt notice that my MMS was disabled until after I jailbroke 4.0 update. It ***** that iphone 3g users cant get multitasking and all the good updates, but when u jailbreak IT CAN! I did receive MMS right after the update. But now, I can only get MMS if I restore the phone back to its original settings and restore it as a new phone, not my old one. I been restoring to all my old back ups all day to see which one would enable MMS again. There is no option for MMS to be turned on like it was right after I restore it. I also didnt notice that the 3G network wasnt working because I am always in a wi-fi area. Until last nite, I jailbroke and everything was find until I tried to send my girlfriend a pic and there was NO MMS option. I tried to reset network settings, and thats when I realized 3G did not work.
If I could up with a solution I'll post it!

My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

My auto-lock does not work properly in this new iOS 6

Do you have your Assistive Touch on? Per another user in another forum:
Source: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6-forum/240631-auto-lock-not-working-ios-6-a.html. Username: Chambaka
Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Help Back camera not working on ipad 2 using ios 7.0.4

Hi my ipad 2 rear camera is not working. I'm using ios 7.0.4
The camera stops responding every time i switch to rear camera. The screen is all black with the control buttons.
I can not switch back to front camera. I already reset the settings and rebooted the unit.
The problem keeps on coming back.
Thanks

Have you done a "hard" reset? (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

Make sure your ring/silent switch on the side of the phone is not On (red dot showing).

HT1386 i have an iphone 4s. Im getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up, and my phone is not working and my screen is covered with blue lines. I need help.

My iphone is not working, i was planning on getting the iphone 5s for christmas, but i do not have my phone backed up on itunes. On my screen are these blue lines across on my screen, and i cant see anthing and i do not know what to do. I want to back up my phone but i cant see my screen to back it up. I need help badly. Thanks apple hope you can help me in this matter.

You wouldn't need to see the screen to backup unless you have a passcode on the device. Is that the case? You should be able to plug the device into the computer with iTunes and just select backup now.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad

The app store is not working or loading on my Macbook Pro, iphone and ipad
Today When I tried to open the app store on my ipad I found out that's the store is not working,,, It's giving me the loading screen like for ever without any error message. So I tried my Macbook and my iphone and it was the same,,,, I thought it was from the connection so I tried several different connections and It was the same.
Any Idea what is going on with the app store ?

The App Store app on your iPhone in your iPad is a different App Store than the app store app on your Mac. You use the same account for both app stores. So I would guess that the real issue is perhaps something to do with your Home Network. You might try rebooting your modem/router. Also, turn off any antiviral software, firewalls or apps such as Little Snitch.

Trying to get my fcp project to burn to dvd at the highest quality? Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

Ive used compressor and then tried to put it in dvdsp put its not working. I am having problems with the audio or when i burn it , i cant play the dvd? any help would be appreciated

I suspect you are attempting to burn an HD DVD, which will not play on a DVD player...
But if you provide more details such as the settings you are applying in Compressor, then we would be able to provide you more accurate information.
How are you adding the files to Compressor?
In FCP, what are your footage properties (command-9) and sequence settings (command-0)
