Unable to send photos/videos or share contacts using iMessage

I have recently been unable to send photos/videos or share contacts using iMessage on my iPhone 4S, although I can send simple text messages. Everything else seems to be functioning as expected. I have tried quitting messages, resetting my network settings and rebooting the phone, none of which has worked. Any suggestions?

You mention iMessage, then you mention text message. Are these messages you are sending in a blue bubble? If so, then they are iMessages. As far as adding content. That would make it an MMS, and you would have to add data to that. You need to either have cellular data on, or be on Wi-Fi for that to work, and to have MMS turned on in the Message Settings. If they are regular text message MMS, then you also have to have a SMS/MMS plan from your carrier.

    Unable to send photos by email or message

    Hi,
    Ok, adding your email address to my contact list didn't change anything.
    The good news is that your email from your gmail account did get through. It was marked as junk mail but when I declared it safe, the photo appeared.
    I looked into the message content for the ones that didn't work and I think the photo is actually still part of the data. It is as though the message header has been corrupted somehow. Since it happens with your service provider but not mine, it suggests that your service provider is perhaps corrupting the header.
    I'm not sure how we can get this resolved as the fault could be with Adobe, your service provider or other service providers.
    I think the workaround of using your gmail account is probably the best way to go.
    You do get a lot of snow there. I live in the UK on the south coast near Southampton. All I have seen is a very light dusting of snow and that quickly disappeared. There were a few local accidents due to the icy conditions. I supposed that the snow is part of your life there - for us it is an exception and so we are not prepared for it.

  • IPhone 4 IOS 7 - unable to send photos via text

    I have been unable to send photos via text since updating to IOS7.  All of my settings are up to date and this problem occurs on wifi, 3G and makes no difference if I send the photo via message first or from my camera.  I have read all the troubleshooting guides and nothing has provided a permanent solution.  Resetting the network seems to work for a limited time before the photos come up with the same "not delivered" icon again. 
    Does anyone know why the reset would work and then stop working if I haven't switched my phone off?
    Thanks

    You may have to backup and restore through iTunes. Have you contacted your carrier about this since this feature is carrier-provided?

    Are you using Yosemite and not apple's Mail app? Then you may need to set up an app-specific password: See the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • HT5361 Unable to send photos. Message...Username/password not combatible.

    Unable to send photos. Message...username/password not combatable. I'm computer dense...what next?

    Have a current backup before proceeding here.  Time Machine or otherwise.
    If no outbound messages are sent...  There are two different server definitions and two different places where you need a user and a password, the first and most obvious setting within mail is for receiving mail; the POP or IMAP setting.  Everybody gets that one.   To get to the credentials and the password used to send mail messages (the one that folks don't find as easily), Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to "Edit SMTP Server List", then find the Yahoo SMTP server entry, then fix the password there.
    Here's the Apple mail troubleshooting information.
    If that fails, remove the entry and re-add it.
    If smaller messages are sent correctly and larger messages are blocked, Yahoo may be restricting the size of the message(s) being sent.  Try smaller messages as a test, or use a file sharing service to transfer the images, or maybe wait for the OS X Yosemite Mail Drop feature.
    PS and FWIW, this message was originally posted in the OS X Server forum, and you're not running OS X Server here — OS X Server includes various network services, including a mail server — a mail server is what Yahoo is running here, but OS X Server allows folks to configure and run a mail server locally on a Mac Mini or some other Mac configured as a server.  Your MacBook Air would then connect into that server, in addition to or in place of the Yahoo server.  Like most other mail servers, the mail server within OS X Server can be configured to block larger messages, too.

  • How can i send photo/video from pc to iphone 5

    Using lightning cable to send a photo/video from pc to iphone 5, but the message said "cannot copy because the device is either turned off or the cable is disconnected/unplugged"
    I did send photo/video from iphone to pc successfully, but can i send back some of them in case of need?
    Thanks

    You might want to start with reading the iPhone user guide. Basic processes like synching are covered: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    In short, you must use iTunes to synch photos. You can also get more information in this knowledgeable article: iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support

  • How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

    How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
    It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

    There is no group send option like you are looking for.
    To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
    As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

  • Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .how?

    .Hi,i want send sms to non ios devices using iMessage from my ipadmini cellular .if possible

    You can't do that through the Messages app. It can only do iMessage, and iMessages can only be sent to iOS devices.
    There are many SMS apps in the app store that may do what you want. Search the app store and try them out.

  • I am unable to send photos from iphoto via email as an attachment to be downloaded onto another computer.  i thought e-mail would automatically pick up these photos if mailed out so they could be downloaded.

    At one time I was able to send photos from i photo library and I assumed the receiver could open these and download them into their apple computer (family).
    I have tried to send photos from library or folder as attachment but I am also unable to do this.  How do I send pictures as e-mail attachments which can be opened up and downloaded to another computer?

    I've managed to sort out my own problem!!  Shall write it down in case there are others out there who have a similar problem.   With iPhoto open, click on iPhoto on the top menu bar.  Click on preferences.  Then click on account.  This let me change the details such as the user name and password.  Luckily I played around with a couple of my usual passwords, and found one that worked.  Have now written it down!!!!

  • Unable to send photo messages

    I am not able to send out photo messages via text with my gzone commando. It says it is unable to send and that there are too many messages in my outbox. Help! It's very frustrating.

    Do you have an active 3G data connection when you attempt to send the picture messages?
    Are you getting an error message saying the memory is full or something?

  • Unable to send photos?

    I've been having problems all day sending photos.  I can send text and email, but photos sent through text keep coming back as "failed to send message."  I've never had this problem before.  Any thoughts? 

    Hi
    In order to send a picture you need to compose a MMS message not a SMS. In order to use MMS with most carriers you will need a Blackberry Data Plan.
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_n​eed_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    If you have the plan, then please provide more info. Please provide as much as you are able of the the following
    Blackberry Model.
    Carrier Name.
    Do you have a Data Plan?
    Operating System Version go to Menu > Options > About - it looks like v5.0.0.681
    Memory for Device and SD Card Options > Memory
    Any error statement or code.
    The Exact nature of problem - the more info the better.
    When this started and whether it started just after an update or new App download and which App/s theme/s download.

  • When I send photos/videos thru Ipod Touch 5 -

    Photos & videos I email thru IPOD TOUCH 5 are received sideways by recipients??? 

    Called and talked to Apple today, and they did not have a solution to the sideways and upside down videos.  But I now realize that you need to take Videos with the bottom (where you plug wire into) to the right side when video taking and the videos go into the computer just fine after doing so!!  Trial and error I call it.  but thanks for your help!!!! 

  • TS4268 I,am unable to send photos via messages but can receive them

    I,am unable to sent photos in messages  but can receive them. Help

    The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others.  Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM.  The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless.  Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.

  • Unable to send photo via iMessage

    Hi Guys,
    I am having some issues sending photos via iMessage between my fathers iPhone 5s and my iPhone 6.
    my fathers iPhone 5s can send me photos but when I try and send him a photo it fails with "not delivered", however sending normal text iMessage between the two phones works fine.
    and another weird thing I can send photos to other people's iPhone's ????
    so is the issue with my iPhone 6 or his iPhone 5s ?

    Hi jake85au,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are experiencing an issue where you cannot send MMS from the Messages application to your father’s iPhone 5s only. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested troubleshooting steps located in the attached article. 
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Best regards,
    Joe
