Not receiving pictures

Hello folks. Have a razr maxx. Phone no longer accepts photos through text or lets me send them. any quick fixes. tried re-setting and clearing out text messages.

Greetings smackoff!
What a peculiar situation. And hey, I know how important it is to have your picture messages coming through seamlessly so let's make sure that applies to you.
Now, I have to begin by asking if you're using a third party messaging app? If so, please uninstall and use the stock app. Also, thank you for what you've done thus far so I know not to step on your toes. What I'd recommend at the moment is removing/reinserting the SIM for at least 30 seconds for a network refresh and then testing it out by sending a picture message to yourself. If this doesn't work, please let us know, and also fill us in on if there are any error messages and if your data is working just fine. Thanks!

IPad not receiving pictures

My iPad is not receiving pictures it shows the blue iMessage bubble with a question mark. Help!

Try turning off iMessage, Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
Wait a few minutes after the phone restarts and turn iMessage back on.

IMessage on mac does not receive pictures

My iMessage on my mac book pro (Os X 10.9.2) does not receive pictures sent to me. It will receive screen shots, but not actual pictures taken by the phone or image files saved to the phone. I have tried the PRAM restart with no luck. Ideas??

Hi,
Odd stuff first.
In the Contacts App > Card menu > Show My Card - is this your Info ?
Can you compare the Names that do show in Messages with those that do not in the Contacts App ?
For instance do the ones using Country Codes as part of the telephone Number Show up but ones that only use the local number (no Country code) do not ?
If this s the case check the System Preferences > Date and Time including the Time Zone as everything is time stamped.
Next go to the Messages app > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages Account > Details Button (you will be asked to sign in again).
Does this list the "right" Country or region (it is this that will add the county code to plain numbers and allow your Apple ID (or others) to work properly.
In System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab does it list DNS servers that are not on your LAN ?
Quite often it lists the router (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x and occasionally 172.16.x.x through to 172.32.255.255) rather than external DNS servers.
It "should" show the ones the router lists in a greyed out form.
If not, copy the DNS servers across (from the router) or use Public ones.
If that does not work use th Finder > Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
Navigate to Preferences.
Find com.apple.iMessages.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash then Restart Messages.
This will force the app to reconnect to the iMessages Servers (and as there is a group of them you may well end up with a new server)

Windows users do not receive pictures sent with Aperture via Mail

Sometimes my buddies windows users reply to my e-mail saying that they have not received the attached picture(s).
It looks like their anti-virus software is cutting them off.
This happens when I send the picture directly from Aperture using Mail.
I've tried several times and I ended up exporting the pictures on the desktop and attaching them to the message.
Like this it works.
In the e-mail export preset I use Email small-JPEG.
Is there anything else I should do ?
Thanks

I can verify that this does seem to be an Aperture problem; I have run a number of tests. If I "output" to eMail from Aperture there are two known problems: The progress of the send is not shown in the Mail window, as it should be, to let you know, visually, when something is in transit and when it gets to the other end it is treated as "malformed" by my colleagues' P.C.s. If I export the image to the desktop and drag and drop it in exactly the same configuration it arrives without a problem.

Nokia C7-00: Can send, but not receive pictures

Hello,
I'm unable to receive picture messages on my C7-00 smart phone. I can send pictures without problems but not receive. Is it possible to disable receiving pictures? If so how do I enable it?
Thank you.

Its weird that you are able to send pics.. ( as picture message in ur C7 00) .. Update ur phone's software.
And for picture message,to read, just touch on the attachment icon in the conversation,u ll b able to see.
Do check ur multimedia message reception settings..
For receiving through Bluetooth, check ur Bluetooth settings (visibility,pairing etc.. ) ,
BTW, update ur phone's OS ..
If you want to thank someone, just click on the BLUE STAR at the bottom of their post

Not receiving picture messages

Hello,
Sorry if its a stupid question but after reading a few other topics online I've become quite confused. What happened is, I sent my girlfriend pictures to her @vtext.com address and she said she didn't receive them. Did they go to her online picture portfolio or something? Or did it just not send at all because @vtext is only for text messages? Is she still able to get them even if they were sent to her @vtext.com ?

The [email protected] is only for text messages. There is a different address for picture messages. I don't recall myself what that address is, but I do know that it was posted on this community before.

Why can i not receive picture texts from my contacts

Ever since my phone upgraded to the new system, I cannot receive any picture texts from my friends. my text messages indicate I have a new message (friends name and no subject) and when I click on it, it brings up a new text message for me to send. I know they are pictures because I ask my friends if they had sent me something. I use this feature a lot and it gets annoying to have my friends email it to me instead of texting it, not all my friends have smart phones and cannot email me the pictures all the time. Can someone please help?

Terimich6,
Is your mobile data turned on? And if you long press on the picture in the text can you save attachment? If you can do that try viewing them in your gallery.

Iphone 4 not receiving pictures via text

Is it possible that if I'm using my phone (not calling, but just doing stuff) that I can't receive a picture text? A friend sent a few pictures while I was not using my phone and I received them just fine, and send a few others and I didn't get them, but I happen to have been using the phone (not calling) at the time they were sent. We can't figure out why I didn't receive those other 2 pictures, only can think since I was using the phone.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I spoke to AT&T Directly, and they said that MMS was disabled on my account. they enabled MMS on my account again, and that solved my issues!

Non-Blackberry users are not receiving pictures I send via MMS

I have long ago come to the realization that pictures can't be sent from my Blackberry Curve 3G via SMS but whenever I send pictures via MMS to my friends who don't have Blackberries, they never get them. Is there somewhere besides their text message inbox where they should be looking? I get all of their SMS texts w/pics attached fine.
Please help.
Thanks.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

Why am I not receiving pictures through texting

Content was removed because your handset cannot display it.
That is the message I receive when someone tries to send me a pict. Never happened before tonight? Recently updated phone. Is that why?

My messages aren't sending or coming through and my phone is on.
I can't post any pictures and can barley can view them on social networks.
Previously I was told to reset my network settings, that only worked temporarily.
I don't have any device I can back my phone up on.
Turning my phone on and off dosent work. My facetime dosent work. Basically I can't do anything but send calls

Messages (Yosemite) not receiving pictures

After upgrading to Yosemite, I lost the ability to see pictures previously sent by me (from either MacBook Pro or iPhone), or pictures sent to me. This applies to both general non-imessage texts and imessages alike. Instead of images or movies, something like, "IMG_1846" will shown, or video window unable to play a movie. I can still send pictures and video from my mac, and as long as I keep the Messages turned on it will be viewable. However, if I open Messages at a later time these videos and pictures will be no longer viewable and will displayed instead as "IMG_xxxx" or the broken video frame I described.
Upon clicking "details" at the top right of the Messages app, instead of a gallery of pictures and videos I see the generic photo previews that show a page and the file format written on that page (the same as if you download something partial, and it is unreadable but still has the formatting suffix).
I can still view everything perfectly on my iPhone, and have experienced no problems on that side of things.
I have tried simply logging out and logging in again, but that's done nothing. It should be noted that I did join in the beta test for Yosemite, but I don't remember having problems with this until the official release was made. Messages also worked perfectly on Mavericks for me.

Hi,
I would run through some fairly standard maintenance as the first steps.
First of all Open the Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities and set it to the First Aid tab.
Select the Hard Drive and then Repair Permissions.
This uses a database on the Mac which itself is updated when you update app or the OS.
When you have done this Restart the computer (which in itself can be helpful)
Next restart the Computer holding down the CMD+ALT+P+R keys until you hear three Start Up "Bongs" then allow it to finish the restart.
This is the PRAM/NVRAM reset.
It clears some caches you can't get at by other means.
Next try a Safe Boot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
If it works there then restart normally to end the Safe Boot.
