Tap photo received in text msg - black screen w "loading"?

I have a new iPhone 5 - Verizon - When I tap a photo received in a text msg, I get a black screen with a never-ending "loading". I am able to save the photo to my camera role, even as it continues "loading".  I cannot even open photos I have included in an outgoing text - never had this problem w iPhone 4 - help?

Try quitting the Messages app and then reset your phone.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Can I receive photos via a text msg on a Treo 755p?

    I am a Verizon (formerly Alltel) customer with a Treo 755p.  Can anyone tell me if I can receive photos via a text msg and if so, what do I need to do to view the photos?

    Hello!
    You cannot receive media content from SMS but you can from MMS/picturemail.  This requires a different plan from SMS so please contact your carrier to see if you have this plan. 

  • Hi, whilst on holiday my iPhone automatically updated my photo album and duplicated all the pictures. I deleted the duplicate pictures now when I click on the photo it's just a black screen. Any ideas how I can restore my photos?

    Does anybody know how to restore photos on the iPhone 4?
    My phone automatically updated my photo album and it made duplicates of each photo.
    I deleted one of each as it maxed out my memory. When I went to view the photos I just got a black screen. I have now lost all my
    Photos :( if I synch my phone what will happen?

    The only way to lose content on the device is restore as "new" from iTunes or "Erase All Content and Settings" from the device.
    Start by resetting or restarting the device to see if that rectifies the problem.

  • TS4268 i have the iphone 5. I updated to iOS 7 but I had this problem before I updated the software, too. I can send MMS (text messages with pictures) but I cannot receive them. I can receive reg text msgs. Just not pics. Any ideas?

    I have iphone 5. Updated to new software a few days ago, but I was having this issue before the update and the update did not resolve the issue.
    I can send and receive regular text messages. I can send MMS (photos, videos, etc) but I CANNOT RECEIVE photos in texts. I have read several trouble shooting suggestions, but so far no resolution. Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • Black screen when loading CP4 movie in flash layer

    Since I installed the latest Flash Player 11.1 I've encountered a strange probleem. When I load a CP4 SWF movie (with standard CP preloader) sometimes I get a black screen. I can't find the problem? Who does have an idea where to find the problem?

    A year or so ago there was a similar issue with a Flash Player release: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-elearning-tutorials/flash-player- conflicts-with-text-animations
    On that occasion it turned out to be an issue with Text Animations in Cp5 being incompatible with the new version of FP.
    Since you're on Cp4 and you're using a totally different version of Flash Player it would seem unlikely to be the same issue, but your mention of a Black Screen makes me wonder if perhaps there might be some element from Cp4 which is conflicting.
    You can try a process of elimination to locate the slide or slides on which the conflict might exist.  Just hide all slides in one half of the project and publish to see if the issue remains.  If it does, unhide all of the first slides and then hide all slides in the other half of the project.  If the issue is resolved, keep hiding specific groups of slides until you locate the issue.  If it's confined to a single slide, try deleting elements on the slide and then publishing to see if you can find the offending item.

  • Installing Windows 7 Using bootcamp 5.0 on MBPr OSX 10.8.2 Black Screen Not Loading Windows 7 Install on Boot

    I am trying to install Windows 7 using Bootcamp Assistence 5.0 on a MacBook Pro Retina OSX 10.8.2, I went through all steps on Creatting the Windows 7.iso into a bootable USB Dirve 16GB I use a separate USB Drive 2 GB and download Windows Support Drivers Step 2 on bootcamp assistence. I run into the problem in step 3 when the computer reboot I just get a black screen the back display still on like I can still see the apple on the back lit up, but the screen is black and wont load the window installer, if i shut it down and bring it back up i get error saying IOS not found so then i have to shut it down, enter recovery and restart on osx partition, i can see that the bootcamp partition was created but cant load windows to it. Please can anybody help me or guide me on what i am doing wrong? thank you so much in advance

    this will install as normal. before installing however you will need an activation key cos in win 7 this is one of the first pages that is presented before instalation.
    the key from your relative could possibly work especially if he used your internet connection to register. but this could cause problems with his/your authenticity after 30 days.
    the only other option is to purchase a key.
    you say a 30 day trial, does it give you a temporary key for this?

  • Receiving Spam Text Msgs

    Every once in a while I would get one SMS message from an unknown number which was spam.  Today, for the last 4-5 hrs, I've been receiving numerous spam SMS msgs from 2 area codes in the Atlanta, GA area that are 3 different mobile numbers, and some of which are from the same repeating mobile number.  Is there a way to block any spam text messages?  I've just been deleting them, but didn't know if you can filter or block SMS msgs like you can with emails.  I have a Blackberry Curve 8520 through AT&T.  Thanks!

    Main menu go to Options, Security Options, Firewall.  You can block the numbers there

  • HT201401 My camera doesn't open when tapping the camera icon, its a black screen.  I can only open it by turning off at the top, then instead of 'sliding' to unlock, I need to slide up the camera picture.  This opens the function and I can take pics as no

    The only way I can get the camera to work is by turning the phone off at the top, then instead of 'sliding to open' I slide the camera picture up the screen.  This opens the normal camera and I can take pictures.  What have I altered, and how can I reset it so I can tap the icon?

    Try force closing the Camera app, followed by resetting your phone.  Double=tap the home button, locate Camera in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button.  Now reset your phone by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Help! Can't receive calls/text msg. Why?

    I Have an iPhone and my friend has an galaxy phone. Different provider. Verizon and tmobile. for some odd reason, we both can't receive any of each other's text or calls. We both have no blocks on our accounts. And when she calls me, it's says " Verizon  restriction" something. I even called Verizon customer service to double check if I had any blocks on my account and they said no. and it's only with her number. I can't text everybody else and call with no issues. What might this be? Help Please!

    Any number of things could have caused the phone to do this. If after the reset you are experiencing additional problems, the next step in the troubleshooting process is a restore from a backup. Make sure you have one before you start the restore process. If that does not improve things, then you may have to restore as a new device. Remember, restoring as a new device will delete all data off the phone. Make sure all of your pictures are imported to the computer and all other data is synced to supported applications on the computer before restoring as new. See this support document about backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, and this about restoring the phone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    I have a MacBook Pro and upgraded to Adobe Reader 11.0.06.  Now when I attempt to download a pdf from the internet, the Reader screen opens but the text portion of the screen is black.  I can open pdf file i have previously saved.

  • Black screen when loading some apps

    Hi everyone,
    On certain apps I have bought like Angry Birds and AgingBooth the iPhone screen just goes black and takes me back to the home screen about 10 seconds later, Anybody know why?
    iPhone 3gs 16Gb
    Thanks

    Try rebooting and try again.
    To reboot:
    Hold BOTH the HOME and LOCK BUTTONS
    DO NOT let go when it says Slide to Turn Off.
    Keep holding BOTH even after screen goes black.
    You can let go when you see the Apple Logo.

  • Black screen, Nothing loads

    I have a toshiba satellite l305d. When I turn it on the lights light up and the fan turns on but that's about it. The screen is black, no light, nothing loads, no startup screen or anything. I removed the hardrive and the hardrive is fine. Other than the noise of the fan the computer doesn't make a sound. Any ideas?

    Yes, it sounds like the motherboard.  Luckily, they are inexpensive for your model on eBay.  And the L305/L305D is pretty easy to service.
