My iphone 4 wont send pictures in texts, what should I do?

I cant send pictures as texts at all. i've never had this problem. idk what i should do. should i go to apple?

Hey Brendan!
iPhones do not by default always have picture messaging enabled, as not all wireless carrier plans include picture messages (also called MMS).
Make sure that in Settings > Messages that MMS Messaging is on.  At that point, pictures should start sending just fine!
If that does not work, contact your carrier, as at that point it would be possible that you are not 'provisioned' (signed up for) picture messaging (MMS), at which point your carrier will need to either sign you up for it (messaging rates apply) or to reprovision you for it, basically turn picture messaging off on your account, and turn it back on, sometimes fixing issues like this.
If this does not work, call Applecare!

  • IPhone wont send pictures to non IPhone users

    For the past couple of months I have not been able to sent picture messages to people who don't have iphones.  I thought it was because a new update was coming soon.  Once the update came and I downloaded it, it still was not working.  I can send regular texts to people who don't have iphones but just not pictures.  I have tried sending pictures to both people with iphones and without.  I can send them to people who have iphones.  Also, the ones who are non iphone users can't send me pictures either.  And it's not just certain phones because I have tried with 3 different people who have different phones and different service providers.  I have searched online and tried what other people have suggested but can't figure it out.  All my settings seem to be fine.  I have a 4s.  Someone please help!!

    Yes, it could allow the app to change the types of photos allowed to be viewed and sent, but also change the format in which they are taken.  Essentially, if the App is only functional for JPEG2 images, then it will stop the phone from editing, and sending/receiving pics in any other format.  If Removing those apps doesn't help, then first, I would do a network reset.
    Settings > Genreal > Reset Settings > Reset Network Settings.  This will not cause you to lose anything on your phone, but rather, it will reset all WiFi settings, and your connection to your carrier tower.  This could be the issue.
    Also, you could contact your carrier...  For example (because I don't know the details of your contract), if your hubby doesnt want you sending/recieveing pics, or your on your parents contract, they could have turned off the feature to send./recieve pics...  But if your communicating to a phone via iMessage, then that feature can't be stoped via the carrier because it's essentially an instant messanger dont over the internet..   Also check you restrictions.. If you acidentally restricted phonos on your phone, it will do the same thing... It will stop texts from sending/receiving pics, but cannot control iMessage as its an instant messanger and not a Text.
    If this doesnt help, then I would consider restoring your phone off iTunes.  You shoul dbe backing up regularly(once a week min) and then you may be able to correct this issue.  If a restore doesn't help, then I would visit an Apple store.

  • My i phone wont send pictures

    my iphone wont send picture mail

    An email with an attached photo is not sent but an email with text only is sent?
    If so, any error message provided when an email that includes an attached photo is not sent and the email remains in the Outbox?

  • My iPhone 3GS is no longer able to send pictures via text??

    I've done a total phone reset, taken it to the ATT store (they checked all the MMS settings and they were correct), sync'd it to itunes and downloaded all updates...but still can't gte it to send pictures via text?
    This all started last Monday when I traveled out to las Vegas...every picture I tried to send would get the status bar about 95% across on the send before popping up a red exclamation point next to the picture that gives me a "message failed to send" error. Here's a screen cap:
    [IMG]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b270/firebird1999us/securedownload.jpg[/IMG]
    Any ideas?

    I had same problem. Check your Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network - make sure your MMSS has 2 // After http, ie, http//... If you have to change this, make sure you switch iPhone off and restart after 20 seconds, go back to your settings to make sure changes have stayed put. Then take a photo and MMS it to yourself, this will take a minute or 2 to go through.
    Hope this works for you

  • Iphone 5 wont send pictures

    Hi there,
    My iphone phone wont send pictures without me having my mob data on. Once this is on it sends without any problem. But the only problem is that the people i am trying to send photos to if they don't have internet they will not receive this???
    Is this the only way of sending?? Can there be a way like using my credit instead of mob data???
    Thanks

    Hi Paea01,
    You need some form of Internet connection, either Wi-Fi or cellular, to send and receive pictures.

    Are you trying to send the pic with Messages or Mail?
    If it's with Messages, this Apple doc might help ya out -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    If it's with Mail, you may have to try another email provider or connecting to the Internet over another network.

  • Sending pictures with text messages on iPhone 4

    I am no longer able to send pictures with text messages on my iPhone 4.  I used to have this capability, but it was lost with one of the software updates.
    This function is not one of the options when I attempt to send a photograph.  Also the camera icon next to the text entry bar in Messaging does not work.
    How can I get this capability back?

  • Iphone 4s wont send pictures, I keep getting send failed message

    my iphone4s wont send pictures as message. I have mms on and also reset network under general settings? Does anyone know what else I can try?

    I see these some times. It is usually related to a carrier problem that clears up eventually. One thing that might work is to reset your phone. No data will be lost.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Had the same problem a while ago. Call your mobile operator and they should guide you. It is some numbers that varies from each phone operator...

  • IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account

    I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
    The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
    From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
    I've tried:
    • deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
    • deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
    • hard resetting the iPhone
    • ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
    • screaming from my back porch
    Ideas?
    Email Account type: IMAP
    Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
    Port: 587
    8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1

    One thing that might help.
    If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
    Host Name:
    Use SSL:
    Authentication:
    Server Port:
    If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
    If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
    If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
    Both are free email services.
    If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
    Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

    You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
    Hope this helps.
