Photos not showing up in iMessage

I recently updated to iOS 8.3. In iMessage and SMS conversation, when I send or receive a photo, it appears for a half second then turns into a black message bubble. The photo is saved in the Details of the conversation, but it does not appear in the conversation and i am not alerted when i receive a photo.
I have restarted the phone and isgned in and out of iMessage. Does anyone have a solution for this?

They have a fix, Settings, General, Reset all the way at the bottom, and hit Reset Network Settings.

  • My Photo Not Showing Up in Messages

    My photo does not show beside my texts in Messages on my Mac. Only a shadow of a generic person in a rectangle is there. I can see the photos of others who write me, though. I have my photo in Contacts and it does show up in Mail, but not in Messages. My photo also shows up in IMessage on the iPad.
    Why is my photo not showing up in Messages and how could I make it visible? Thanks.

    HI,
    Your Pic is set if you have  Buddy list set up/logged in.
    Enable the Bonjour account if you do not have Jabber, AIM or Yahoo IDs set up in Messages.
    Click on the current Buddy Pic.
    You may find it has pulled the Pic from the My Card in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
    In turn this may be picking up on the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account Login pic.
    That is to say when you set up the (Mac User) Account it asked you to create/chose a pic from the Login Screen.
    Later the process of setting up an Accounts asked for details that create the Contacts/Address Book Card  and the Login in pic is dragged across.
    AS you then get to set up Messages (Or iChat) then the My Card pic is pulled through.
    All three spots can be changed independently of each other.
    Some of the Recent Items can be from either of the others.
    This is my Buddy list pic and th "Recents" I have.
    The Zebra and head in "teeth" pics are from some testing I did with Pics in the Contacts > My Card options rather than Messages.
    Finally once you have a pic linked to Messages then it also show up at your end for the Chat window for iMessages (as well as for you in AIM or Jabber)
    NOTE
    In AIM and Jabber (Or Yahoo) your Pic is Broadcast and is what you Buddy sees next to your Name (They can override this though)
    In iMessages though your pic is not sent and your Buddy's Contacts app supplies whatever pic they have for you. (As yours does for them)

  • Phone number not showing up in imessage and FaceTime on ipad or mac mini

    I have the ipad, Iphone, and a mac mini. I am confused as to why my phone number is not showing up in imessage and facetime  on my mac mini and ipad. I had it set up but for some reason it is not working now, it just shows my apple sign in email address. How can I fix this?

    Hi, sarahr1987. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is a troubleshooting resources I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000  photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

    WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
    Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
    A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
    or
    B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
    Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
    Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
    Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
    Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
    For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
    Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

  • Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

    slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
    Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

    Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

  • HT3529 Contacts on iPhone 5 not showing up as iMessage

    I have an iPhone 5 and just noticed that some contacts that are iOS users are not showing up as iMessages on my phone.  I received an iMessage on my MBP, but didn't receive it on my iPhone because according to my iPhone, they are not iMessage users.  I have all the iMessage configs correct.  Anyone else have this problem?  Any solutions?  Here is what I've tried.
    Deleting the iOS phone # from contacts and readding it as "iPhone" phone number.
         When I go to create a new message from my phone to this #, it is still sending as text and not iMessage.

    You cannot view files on iPhone using the Mac.
    Everything goes through Mac iTunes.
    The main problem I would like to fix is to be able to locate my device on my computer but I would also very much appreciate information on how to fix the syncing problem.
    Just click Sync button again in Mac iTunes with your iPhone connected and selected.

  • Photos not showing on Apple TV

    What reson would there be for some photos not showing in apple TV?
    Ta

    Yes, tried that but all that happened was that my Home Sharing although shown turned on on both Apple TV and iTunes did not allow me to connect to my Library, could access You Tube so WiFi connection O.K.. Tried switching Home Sharing off and then on again on Apple TV but that didn't access my Library so had to go back into iTunes on my Mac and switch off Home Sharing and switch it back on again there which then allowed me access to my Library. This resolved the problem as photos I had just taken were now viewable ( This however has happened before so not a new problem, suspect the router but as I am changing ISP soon, going to BT Infinity, hope that will solve that problem.)

  • Photos not showing up in iPhoto but still in Library

    I'm having a problem with iPhoto. I just got back from a trip. I was copying using the share photo function my photos from one computer to another and after that it seems that about 500 photos are not showing up on the original computer, these photos also did not copy over. Originally, I thought somehow I had deleted them somewhere but they are in fact still in the correct places in the iPhoto library folder. However, they are not showing up when I open iPhoto. I have restarted. I have repaired permissions. I have checked the iPhoto trash- they are not there. I have viewed the hidden photos. I am at a loss. I am sure it is some easy fix I just cannot find it. Please help. I don't want to manually deal with this problem because I have already organized all of them.

    Sounds like a corrupted database, I'm afraid.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards
    TD

  • Photos not showing up in Mail

    I'm using Mail 4.4. Recently most of the e-mails I receive with embedded photos now show a blue box with a question mark instead of a photo. This has only been happening for a couple of months. Photos added as an attachment can be viewed all right in Quick Look. Does anyone have any idea why or how I can correct it?

    This is normally the result of the sender having linked to a photo on a remote server, rather than actually attaching it. Then when it is sent to you, the link does not find the server with image.
    More info, please, including analyzing whether the message size could in fact contain the expected image?

  • Photos not showing up in my camera roll, but they were there yesterday

    Hi,
    Last night I deleted about 50 pictures off my camera roll. This morning, I woke up and 150 pictures were missing, including all the recent pictures I had taken that I did not delete.  It's not showing any picture that I took after May and it showed that I had 390 pictures. When I went into "settings" and "general", it said that I had 499 pictures on my camera.  I can't see those... I just updated the software, which I hadn't done and it didn't change anything.  Now, I'm trying to use Photostream to see if they'll show up there, but I wasn't backing them up before.  I also moved all the pictures I could see to my computer, but again, it didn't let me move those 100 pictures. 
    What can I do to once again access those additional 100 pictures?
    thank you!!!

    Reset the iPhone then take a photo. See if it shows up in the camra roll.
    If not, reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try a photo.

  • Photos not showing up in iMovie project after transferring project to external hard drive

    I just finished moving my iMovie '11 projects and events to an external hard drive.  In one particular project (the only one I've used photos in), the photos will not play back when I watch it in the preview window.  The picture shows up in the project editing window, but during playback the computer seems to use the last frame of the last played video.  All of the previous settings are the same, it will just not show the pictures.  I've tried re-inserting them, even trying different pictures that were not used originally, but nothing seems to work.  I've also tried closing iMovie and restarting it, but no luck.

    Hi all
    I am having the same problem - all a bit wierd.  Yesterday I could drag and drop images from finder into my project.  Today, I can drag andf drop the images from finder and they display in the project - but not when it is played.
    I tried importing the images into iphoto and dragging them from the media selection window - still no joy - I can see them in the proejct - but they just don't show when played.
    Is it because the project has been marked as finished in some way - although I haven't finalised it?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Photos not showing up in "Places" tab in Photos app

    Hi everyone,
    I recently just imported a bunch of newer pictures from my Aperture library onto my iPhone.  The photos show up fine in the Photos app under Photo Library and Albums, but they do not show up in the 'Places" tab.  I have all the location information in the photos in my Aperture library.
    The weird thing is all the older photos I had on my phone from previous syncs show up in the "Places" tab. Am I missing something to get this info to show up on my phone?
    Thanks for your help.

    I figured it out if anyone else is having the same issue.  I had to manually kill the photo app and it updated the pictures I just added when I re-opened it.  

  • Photos not showing up in itunes

    When I plug my ipad to the computer, photos do not show up in itunes.

    To copy photos to the iPad, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    To copy photos that you've taken with the iPad to your computer then it's done not done via iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
