Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Howdy Mitzymom,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue sending texts with photos from the Messages app on your iPhone. If the issue only occurs in when tapping the icon in the Messages app, not when texting pictures from other apps like the photo app, try the general app troubleshooting suggestions below on the Messages app.

Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?

I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.

Water and electronics do not mix well. Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced. Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days. But even that is no guarantee.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

My iPhone 5c rear camera won't work and the led light doesn't work either

At first just snapchat wouldn't work and then I tried my actual camera and neither camera worked. I turned it off and on again and the front facing camera works but the rear facing one doesn't. Snapchat wont use either one. Then I pulled up my settings bar thingy and the led light button is all greyed out. I rebooted my phone and it did nothing. Im not sure what to do, help please!

Set it back to factory settings without using any backup data. If the camera does not work after that, you'll have to get the phone serviced.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
If the camera works after that, use the latest backup to restore your data on the phone again. If the problem comes back, your backup contained damaged data, causing this problem and you'll have to start allover again, but without the backup data.

HT2090 I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro (2008) with Snowlepard. The I downloaded Maverick. Ever since I did Maverick, my iSite camera won't work for facetime or skype. What to do?

I purchased my Macbook Pro in 2008. My son recently gave me and iPhone 5 and in order to use it I upgraded my OS to Snowleapord, then I down loaded Maverick. Since I did the Maverick thing my iSite camera does not work on Skype or Facetime. I done a few things like reset SMC and the one other thing to no avail. It works in photobooth and things like that, but it doesn't show up in the utilities list. One point it said something about not being recognized or supported? Is the an upgrade for the camera or do I need to get rid of Maverick? Or what?

   Install the latest software update.
   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
   Choose the method for:
   "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
   Uninstall Air Parrot if you have it installed.
   If this does not help, contact Apple.
   Best.

FM transmitter won't work with my iPhone

I bought a Premier FM transmitter from Auto Zone the other day. It has a 30-pin connector with an led panel that lights up when you connect it to an apple device. It's suppose to work with all 30-pin devices but doesn't work with my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.2). I have tried it with my iPod Touch 2g and two other iPhone 4's that belonged to my friends, and it worked with all three devices. Any explanation why it won't work with mine?

"the Middle East" is a really big place. I suspect you bought a gray market hacked phone. Call Apple Care and give them the serial number. Maybe they can tell you if it's locked and to what carrier.
