My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts.

My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts. Can someone please help? I've already turned my device on and off, but it still won't work. It happened after the last update.. when I send a picture or video,  it would show as sent, but then have the red exclamation icon and say message not delivered. I would try and deliver multiple times but it just won't work.

It depends if the contact is not an apple product it will not work at all ..iMessage is only used for apple products.Just check.Well you should know if the contact is an apple user or not so yeah thats all really.But if it's it that important f.of a pic download a texting app it helps alot.

  • IMessage won't send pictures after installing iOS 6

    Why can I send iMessage pictures from my iPhone 4S (iOS 6) elswhere, but not on my home network? Another iPhone 4s (iOS 5.1.1) in the same room can send them just fine. I've contacted my internet service provider, but they can't help me. I've tried 'everything' including a full iPhone reset, losing hundreds of irreplacable photos in the process

    Hi,
    From Messages on the Mac to my iPhone Number with a .psd 90.5Mb file (pic)
    The Pic moves into the Chat part but says nothing.
    The File Transfers Window does say "Sent Zero ..."
    It does not indicate progress but then it says Sent  and the Chat window Displays "Delivered."
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    However I am "waiting" for Multiple items to go through even though the amount involved is smaller.

    EDIT.
    They eventualy arrived.
    The Time Difference between the Send time in Messages and the Arrive time on the phone says only two minutes but it felt much longer.
    It was most of the time I was typiing this.

  • IMessage won't send or receive pictures

    iMessage won't send or receive pictures, no matter how big or small they are. Not issue sending pics from iphone or ipad. if i access the file transfer window, it shows the following message below each picture that did not go out:
    NSURLSession error: The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error - 1200.) ((null))
    Any ideas?
    This issue started a few days ago, no changes in SW or HW ever since, so not sure what is going on.

    Hi,
    Try zipping/Compressing the files or pic first.
    Other people are having the issue and the zipping is the only work around we have discovered so far.

  • Messages won't send pictures or files.

    Hello,
    My Messages in Mountain Lion won't send pictures or files (using imessage). It did work for a few days but has now stopped. The strange thing is Messages beta in Lion still works perfectly. I've tried deactivating anf activating account and still no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I've been with the same problem for a couple of days, until finally today Messages simply stopped showing even a the window, so absolute inability to use it.
    Considering that reinstalling the operating system is NOT a solution, I searched for something myself.
    Pictures are controlled by xpcd, imagent and Messages, and it seems that when the problem arises is because they're using the wrong Apple server.
    While this may be solved by Apple in a update (I hope so), in the meantime you can do a workaround (it worked for me on two different machines, and even days old images appeared).
    In your Library, there is a folder called Preferences (that is /Users/<your_username>/Library/Preferences). There you should delete com.apple.imagent.plist com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist, with Messages CLOSED. Then reboot so Messages creates new ones. Also delete all file starting with com.apple.imagent, com.apple.imservice, com.apple.imessage and com.apple.iChat that end in .lock.
    If even then it still is not working, deleting all files starting with com.apple.imagent, com.apple.imservice, com.apple.imessage and com.apple.iChat 100% for sure. But when you reboot you'll find you need to input again your login data for iMessage, FaceTime, Yahoo chat, AIM chat, Google Talk and Jabber (if you used them on Messages/iChat).
    This is an annoyance, but less than a whole operating system reinstall or losing the functionality.
    After all of this is done you should regain the ability to receive photos, send photos and drag&drop photos.

    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.

  • Imessage won't send or receive messages. I tried several different wifi connections and ethernet and still nothing. Maybe my outstanding balance is restricting my imessaging?

  • My mobile device won't send picture messages

    I have a problem where my mobile device simply won't send picture messages.  I have clear reception right now.  I've tried shutting the phone off and restarting it and taking out the battery.
    Why am I paying for a service that doesn't work?
    Anybody know what the problem is?

    You can call customer service and have them check the provisioning on your account to be sure that picture messaging is enabled.
    SOme things that may affect picture messaging:
    1) 1X service only - you need EV service to send picture messages
    2) Your phone says Extended network - picture messaging will be unavailable.
    3) You have a total data block on your phone, to prevent data charges. It also prevents picture messaging. You can block mobile web, and downloads separately, without blocking picture messaging.
    If none of these seem to apply, then I'm at a loss. What happens when you try to send a picture message? Do you get an error message?

    Triple check the Outgoing Mail server info that you entered in your Mail account. If that area says the info is optional enter the outgoing mail server and your password anyway. Also if you have more than one email account check the server that is selected for the GoDaddy account and make sure it's the correct server for the account.

  • 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....)

    double check that you have MMS turn ON.
    if the link doesn't help, then contact your cell phone provider as MMS is a carrier feature.
