Sending text photo only iphone and cant other cellphone

sending text photo only iphone and cant other cellphone

Howdy Michael,
It sounds as if you are unable to send using Messages unless the receiving party is also on an iPhone, is that correct? 
If that is the case, I would suggest you look at your iPhone's Settings > Messages and see if Send as SMS is turned on. You should also make sure that MMS Messaging is turned on. This allows you to send using either iMessages or cellular data. See this help article -
Messages settings - iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

  • Iphone won't send texts to non-iphone users

    I woke up this morning and my iphone 4s will no longer send texts to non-iphone users.  I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.  I reset my network settings.  I restarted my phone.  Nothing is working.  I don't know how to fix this.  I can send imessages just fine.

    I checked my SMS settings and they are fine.
    The ONLY SMS settings is: Settings > Messages > Sends as SMS > ON.  Is that what you mean?
    Did you contact your carrier to confirm that SMS is still provisioned in your account?

    If you live in the US launch the iTunes store, then tap Purchases, then the "not on this phone" tab. If you don't live in the US you will have to buy them again, unless the iTunes Store support staff takes pity on you when you email them with a request for help.
    BTW, how many songs can you download between daily syncs?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You don't really sync photos from the devices to the Mac, you import them to an app; iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture. During that process you are given an option to erase the photos from the device. Is this not the manner that you used?

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

    Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
    If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

  • Why cant I receive and send text photos to a phone that is not an iphone

    Does your cellular plan include MMS messaging? Do you have cellular data turned on?

  • I iphone 4 is not sending texts to my friends and family with iphones.  The blue messages are not going through.  My green messages are going through. Help!

    My Ipone is not sending text messages. i can recieve the messages, but my replies are not being sent.. this seems to only be an issue to sendin to other iphones.  The blue messages are not being sent.  if the box is green, the meessage is sent.this seems to ahve started after i down;oaded the latest operating system.  HELP!!

        Welcome to the Verizon family, ivpacks! I regret to learn that your alarms didn't work. I also regret that there is a problem with the messages. Have you tried the alarm again? Does it still not work? For instance, just set the alarm for a couple of minutes away to ensure that the alarm goes off.
    When you send a text, do you get an error? If you power the phone off/on, do the messages send? This particular issue is expecting a software update to resolve the issue with texts and picture messages.
    I believe that you have chosen a great device, but keep in mind that there is a 14 day exchange period. If you exchange for the same make/model, you will not pay the restocking fee.
    If you do exchange for a different make/model, there is a $35.00 restocking fee.
