Why can't I send images via text

Why can't I send images via text?

Do you have data enabled? MMS enabled? While it doesn't count against your data plan, your phone should be able to send small photos, but does require a data connection.

Why can't pictures be sent via text?

Why can't pictures be sent via text?

Because the SMS (Short Messaging) standard does not include support for pictures.
To send pictures you need to use MMS (Multimedia Messaging).
The clue is in the name really - "text messages" send text, "multimedia messages" send multimedia (text, pictures, audio & video)

Why can't I share documents via email in pdf format any longer?

Why can't I share documents via email in pdf format any longer?

I am guessing you are using an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This is the forum for MacBooks, the computer, so the mail works differently.
You will want to ask your question in the correct forum.

HT1430 why can't I send emails via my iphone & ipad?

Why can't I send emails from my iphone & ipad? Everything worked fine last night, but I updated my software yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been having the same problem with one of several email accounts on one iPad2 and one iPhone5. It has been driving me crazy. I have deleted and reinstalled the email accounts more times than I can count and was ready to throw the device out the window. However I just found a post from another user who stated that they were able to solve this problem by confirming that the outgoing mail server password was corrected. Apparently they found that after an upgrade the old password was retained by the server. I had never checked this because it's a few extra steps to get into the outgoing mail server. When I did I found that it was incorrect. Once changed, I was able to send the email again. Problem solved! Also I agree that the other user was rude in commenting to you the way that he/she did. Hope this helps you

Why can't I back up my iPhone to iCloud?

I have been trying to backup my iPhone 4 for hours now. I was able to backup my iPod Touch, but not my iPhone. I have purchased more storage, but that did not help. It says I have 11 GB of free space left and only 3 GB to back up on my iPhone and just over 2 GB to back up on my iPod. I have tried multiple times to back it up and it says "Estimating time remaining..." and then nothing happens. It will say that the backup was incomplete. I delete the incomplete backup and start over and get the same results. I have 15 GB of storage total, but nothing is working. The progress bar never moves but the spiral continues to move next to "Backing up..." Also, I have tried to do it via iTunes and it says it has backed up but on my iPhone it stills says there has never been a backup to my cloud. I have tried to back it up with it connected to my PC (Sony-Vaio) and connected to a wall outlet with the same results. I am trying to be as detailed as possible without being annoying. All I have selected on my iPhone to backup is Contacts, Documents (Of which I have none) and Photos with Find My iPhone selected to ON. My iPod is not even the most current generation, so not sure that makes a difference. It backed up in less than 1 minute. At the time of completion of this post, the progress bar has not moved. Help please! Thank you even if you have no answers!

How long are you leaving it to backup and how fast is your internet connection?
Backing up 3GB of data to a remote server can take many, many hours, especially if your internet up-speed is slow.

Why can't I back up my external HD to a Time Capsule using Time Machine?

I have 2 external Hard Drives attached to my Mac Air. I want to back them both up to my new 2G Time Machine, but here is the wierd thing. When I go to the time machine preferences both disks are shown in the exclude from back-up pane but only one can be removed (which i presume means it will be backed up)
the external HD that can be removed from the "exclude items from back up" is an iomega
the external HD that cannot be removed is a My Book.
Any thoughts on why this might be and what I can do to rectify the situation
Cheers

Connect the drive directly to your Mac
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the drive in the left panel. Info about the drive will be displayed at the bottom of the window.
To format the drive in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)......
First transfer the data that is currently on the drive to another drive for safekeeping as the new format will erase the drive.
Once the data is transferred, then in Disk Utility, click the Erase tab
Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format of choice
Click Erase the drive will be reformatted.
Transfer the data back onto the drive
Try to backup using Time Machine

Why can't I back up my Macbook Air using Airport extreme.

I "used to" back up my Macbook air via Time machine using external harddisk connected to Airport extreme, of course back up wirelessly over WiFi. But now I've seen on Apple support page about Airport extreme that this cannot be done anymore. I've only 3 choices to do Time machine back up using Time capsule, external harddisk that connected to Time capsule or connect harddisk directly to Macbook air. But not harddisk connectd to Airport extreme anymore. So did Apple just change how backing up can be done recently? And is there any way I can back up using harddisk connected to Airport extreme?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure what you mean here by "anymore".
Apple never did officially support Time Machine backups to a drive connected to the USB port on any of the Generation 1 though 5 AirPort Extreme versions. These were all the "flat" or "square" shaped versions of the AirPort Extreme.
Some users seemed to be able to do this though, while others.....like me....had nothing but problems when they tried it.
Time Machine backups are supported with a USB drive connected to the newer "tower" 802.11ac version of the AirPort Extreme.

Do you have the drive that is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme mounted and displayed on the desktop of your Mac? If you do, it should appear as an option to choose as a destination for Time Machine backups, even though this is not officially supported if you have a Gen 1 through Gen 5 AirPort Extreme.

Why can't i send photos via sms text?

Wondering why I can't send photos from my iphone to someone else's phone via sms text. every other phone i've had with a camera could do that. am i doing something wrong?

This doesn't sound very user friendly. I want a phone that's easy to use and doesn't require a ton of work arounds. Everybody else's phone can send and receive pictures just by knowing the other person's phone number.
They don't have to know how to send it via email.
They don't have to know what carrier the other person is using, or whether they switched carriers or not.
They don't have to go to a stupid website to receive a picture that someone sent them - a website that doesn't even work on iPhone, so they have to wait till they get home!
They don't have to tell their friends that because they have a cool new phone, they have to be treated specially so they can have fun too.
It makes iPhone users sound like a bunch of dorks with a phone which can't get pictures like everybody else can. I've been playing with mine for 4 days and it's a really great phone but I've already noticed that my crappy old Blackjack beats the pants off of it for sending pictures around without having to know who someone's cellular company is or what their email address is or whether their phone can send or receive email.
