Problems downloading picture texts
I am having trouble receiving picture messages and group texts. I get an alert that I have massage and that it is "downloading...". It can take anywhere from 30 mins to an hour to get the picture. When I get a group text it says the same thing even with no picture attached. This morning I received a message at 7am and it finally came through at 8:45am. This all started about 3 weeks ago when I had a Verizon update. I now have to turn my phone off and back on when I receive messages. I have also had trouble sending picture messages, I sometimes have to try 3 or 4 time to get one to go through. This doesn't happen with every message but enough to be a problem. Please help. I have checked my default SMS app and it is set to "messaging". I have also checked that auto retrieve and roaming auto retrieve are selected. Is it possible to undo the last verizon update? Thanks in advance.
I had this happen in the past with two Android phones. For some reason, I wasn't able to send or receive multimedia text messages that had pictures or videos attached when I was at home.
When I checked into it at the Verizon Store's tech desk I was told that my phone couldn't and wouldn't send picture or video text messages over a WiFi network. I was told that it had to send/receive over the data connection only. I rightly complained, why should I waste my data allowance on this when IMO sending it via WiFi was how it should work. I was assured that those messages don't count against my data allowance but against the message plan I had at the time.
When I tried his suggestion it worked great and upon closer examination it didn't take away from my data allowance.
I don't know if all Androids are like this or just those two, and maybe yours if this is the problem, but maybe we'll find out from the Verizon Rep when they post a reply.

I have moved pictures from my phone to Windows Live Photo Gallery many times. Today I tried on both phones (mine and my husband's) and did not get the pictures--just iconic preloads. The screen "says" it has downloaded the pictures, gives the number in each group but they are not there. What happened? Thank you for any help. Jo
Your topic is saying one thing - +"Problem downloading pictures"+ yet your post is saying something different - +"it just won't show any pictures."+
Which is it? Nevermind. You can't download what you can't see.
Sounds more like a browser issue rather than an OS. Check your browsers mapping settings to see which browser plugins are selected to open photos.
Check the Content tab also. Make sure *Load images automatically* is selected. I do not use Safari or Camino. Unsure if they have this setting but it's worth a check.

Whenever I get a picture text and click on the picture to view it in a larger format, the picture is dark. I have to run my hand across the bottom of the screen on what looks like a pencil. Does anyone know how to stop the phone from doing this?
We're here to help get this picture message issue resolved! Sami8, did this issue just recently start up, or has it always been this way? There was a phone update that just recently went out for your phone? Have you updated your phone to see if this helped resolve this issue? Please keep us posted, Sami8. Thank you!

Problem with picture/text alignment using layers
Hello,
Here is the page I am having problems with:
http://tumultimedia.org/tumultimedia/ah.html
I am having major issues. All I wanted to do was have a
column on the left with a picture and a column on the right with
text. I wanted the text to align exactly with the top of the
picture (the text on the right of the picture and the menu to the
left of the picture), but the B-Ball text floated down to the
middle even though I said align top.
So I then took the layers approach. I brought down the
little guide and aligned it perfectly. It looks great in Internet
Explorer, but Safari looks completely un-aligned and so does Opera.
I'm new at layers, so it is probably something very simple.
All I want is to have the first subject of the menu line up
with the picture line up with the first line of the B-Ball text and
have it look the same for most browsers.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thank YOU!Hi AlexGregory,

When trying to upload pictures from my camera I get this message although I have uploaded from the same camera in the past, "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

I am facing problem while downloading long text.
previously it was working 5ne. now it is giving the error meaasge

Thanks & Regards
SangareddyIn a SAPscript you do not need to use ABAP code to retrieve long text - Just use the INCLUDE command in SAPSCRIPT - see help for details
/: INCLUDE name [OBJECT o] [ID i] [LANGUAGE l] [PARAGRAPH p]
this puts the complete long text in and formats it for the window

I just downloaded the new OS X and now I can't enlarge the page (pictures, text) by tapping the mouse. I loved that feature. How do I get it back ?
Thank you very much. I just called Apple support and the woman told me I was out of luck because with the new OS X it (that feature) was gone.
I'm not sure she knows too much.
Maybe I can get a job there. I don't know as much as she didn't know ! -
Well this is stupid - I wrote the question above and now it is telling me the message is blank - how dumb is this.
I am having tremendous difficulty sending sipmle typed texts, voice texts and picture text messages to non I- phone users.
Simple text messages are sporadic and seem to be impacted by whether I incluse a subject or not - picture texts will not go at all.
Anyone else having this problem ???It's a corporate phone so will need to check. Will not send text messages to non I-phones if they contain a "subject" or a picture. Wierd - regular voice or typed text messages are fine.

My LG Cosmos Touch will not download pictures from texts anymore
For the last couple of weeks..my phone will not download pictures or texts containing a lot of bytes...according to Verizon...this phone is designed to only accept up to 3500 bytes and all the newer phones send texts with pic about 30,000 bytes....and there is no solution beyond getting a newer phone..but I do not want to pay for an internet plan...so..is there any other way to get my phone to download these things sent to me? And yes..I have taken out battery as was instructed...just hoping there is a solution that this verizon rep does not know about...I feel like this is gonna be like the Daily Scoop issue....
Hi obrnlori,
I am happy to provided you with an alternate way to view your pictures until you decide to upgrade to a new phone. I would suggest forwarding the picture to your free Pix Place account on our web site. Here is some information to assist you with establishing an account and transferring pictures to Pix Place Additionally, you can also forward the picture directly to your e-mail address and view the picture via your PC. I am hopeful this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any additional concern.
Thanks for your contribution to our community forums,

problem loading pictures in hotmail.
-> If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains. See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
-> Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
-> Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
-> Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
-> Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
-> There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.
