Unable to send picture using iMessage to specific contact.

All of a sudden this afternoon I can no longer send pictures using iMessage to a specific contact. The contact is the other phone in my house which is an iPhone 4 and I am using a 4s. The iPhone 4 can send photos to me using iMessage with no problem but I cannot send any to that one. iMessage will show delivered and then change to not delivered, I have turned iMessage off and on, done soft and hard reboots, and done a restore as well from a time when it was working. In every scenario I get the not delivered message. Can anyone help with this?

of course all 3 iphone 4s are using there own apple id's
all 3 did work when new
turned all off rebooted turned back on then 2 worked then stopped working a day later
other one is showing a an email address even though its set as phone number
the exact settings as the 4s that shows a phone number
but i cant send text or photo imessages to that one from the other 2 4's devices
first time i fixed it it still wasnt sending photo imessages until i sent a photo imessage to myself from the recieving device then all **** broke loose and i started recieving test imessages id been sending the past few days
stopped working next day again as expected
dont worry bout it bro, thanks for the advice but its already wasted too much of my time
turning it off and leaving it off is the best fix ive found lol

Unable to send message using iMessage

I can type a message but doesn't allow me to send it.

Just make sure in settings, messages, show subject field OFF. You can't send a message with just subject. You might be typing in the subject box and trying to send. Miffed me when I first tried. Hopefully that COULD be it.

How to use iMessage for specific contacts?

I'm thinking this is impossible, but I thought I'd post and see if I could get an answer. I am running short on data and have unlimited texts and therefore I turned iMessage off because I don't have access to WiFi anywhere. But I found out that it's the only way that I can contact some friends that are out of the country. Is there a way that I can enable iMessage only for those people and leave it disabled for everyone else? I've looked through the forums and searched for the answer, but I can't even find someone who has the same problem as me. Any help would be appreciated.

Won't call this a great solution, but it solves the problem, causing inconvenience in another way!
Step 1: Remove the contact (if he/she is already listed under your contacts) from your iPhone. Make sure that if you sync to iCloud or iTunes, you have the contact removed from your cloud/backup too.
Step 2: Now, open Settings -> Notifications on your iPhone
Step 3: Scroll down and tap on Messages
Step 4: Scroll down and where it says ‘Show iMessage Alerts from:’, tap on ‘My Contacts Only’
You’re done. What really happens is, the iMessage app stops sending you notifications for messages that you get from unknown numbers.

What changed in ios6 that won't allow me to send pictures in iMessage on my wifi?

This is crazy! My daughter got the new iPod touch 5th gen. It comes with ios6 on it. She is unable to send pictures or videos via iMessage. She has an ID, she is able to send and receive text in iMessage, so she is logged in. This is all of course over our wifi, since it is an iPod touch...
I have an iPhone 4, a couple days ago I was able to send pictures to her from my phone via iMessage, she would receive them, no problem, just couldn't send them to to me, or anyone else. THEN, I made the horrible mistake of upgrading my iPhone to ios6...now I can't send her pics and she can't send me pics! Wait, it gets better!
I called apple care to try and fix her iPod, they had me reset the network settings, didn't help. They had me restore the phone completely and set it up as a new phone, no apps on it, not restored from backup, it still wouldn't send pics or vids via iMessage. They asked me to take it into a store and have them look at it (remember my iPhone 4 is now acting the same way since I upgraded it), and when we got to the store and got on Apple's wifi, it worked! She could send me pics and I could send her pics!
I asked them if there is some network setting I am missing on my router (also an apple device) to make ios6 able to send mms in iMessage, they had no ideas. They said, reset the router. I did that, and it didn't help, I also removed the apple router because the comcast modem I have also has wireless capability. I setup a new wireless network using the comcast modem, connected both devices to the new network, went into the interface on the modem and disabled the built in firewall, and I still couldn't send pics or vids via iMessage.
Next, I went and parked outside of a local starbucks and tried their network, both devices worked there as they did at the apple store.
My wife then came home with her iPhone 4 that does not have ios6 yet, she connected to the new network that i just set up and she was able to send pics to the iPod just as I was able to before I upgraded. HOWEVER, she cannot send them to my ios6, iPhone....just to the ios6 iPod. AND, neither my phone or my daughter's iPod can send pics to her, just as she couldn't send them to me but i could to her before my upgrade.
OBVIOUSLY, there is something about my comcast network connection that is not allowing this to work, right??? But what?? A port?
What could have changed in how ios6 relates to my comcast network that is causing this weirdness??? If it is a port, how can I possibly identify it, and how would i open that port if the comcast interface already shows 'firewall disabled', I can't forward the port to a device (even if I did know which one) because I have many devices that will want that traffic, right? (my phone, wife's phone, and daughter's iPod)!
ARRRGGGHHH, Any ideas?

Why isnt my mac sending pictures through imessage

Hey,
Why isn't my MacBook Pro sending pictures through iMessages?
Please help!
Thanks

Only Apple devices can receive messages sent through iMessages. Your iPhone will only send a message through iMessages if it already knows that the other end of the connection is an iPhone and can receive such messages. This is because a message sent through iMessages to a phone that could not receive it would just disappear without either of you knowing why.
You can specifically chose to use iMessages to send a message to the other person's phone. Once the message has been received by the other end both ends will know that the other end is an iPhone and they will use iMessages by default in future.

TS2755 Sending pictures via iMessage - "undelivered"

Hi,
having iPhone 5 with iOS 7 (the newest one) and having problem with sending pictures via iMessage. The picture is usually sent and marked as "delivered" but after few seconds it´s showed again as "undelivered" with red exclamation mark. I have tried to reinstall the iOS, I changed the phone at all (like to different piece of device) and the problem is still there.
This is happening as well when someone is sending pictures to me - shows them the exclamation mark as well despite the picture is usually already delivered.
Many thanks for your opinions what can I do...

Hello there, Martinacep.
It seems you were referred to us from the very article that provides some troubleshooting recommendations for issues with sending attachments via MMS:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
To begin, follow these initial steps:
If you can't send and receive MMS
You will need these to send and receive MMS:
An iPhone 3G or later
iOS 3.1 or later
A cellular data connection (MMS isn't available if you're using only Wi-Fi)
A domestic MMS plan from your cellular provider. You might need an international messaging plan to send MMS to an international contact (Contact your carrier for more information.)
A roaming MMS when using a cellular provider's network that is different from your billing cellular provider's network (Learn more about roaming and contact your carrier for more information.)
To resolve issues with sending and receiving MMS, follow these steps
Go to Settings and turn airplane mode off.
Go to Settings > Messages and turn MMS Messaging on.
Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data on.
Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Data Roaming on if you're roaming on a cellular provider network that is different from your billing provider's network.
Make sure that you have a cellular data connection in the status bar of your iPhone.
Go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi off. Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify that you have a data connection. Turn Wi-Fi back on to continue using Wi-Fi for other features. If your cellular data connection isn't available, follow these steps.
Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. If you can't send and receive SMS, see the "Issues with sending and receiving SMS" section, above. MMS might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports.
Restart your iPhone.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
Remove your SIM card and insert it again.
If the issue persists, then follow the section entitled "If you still can't send or receive MMS, follow these steps" that follows the one above in the article.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Lumia 620: Unable to send pictures via 'Facebook C...

Hi!
I am unable to send pictures via facebook chat. In the 'attach' option, it does show 'photo, video, location, etc..' but I can select only the 'location' component. I was wondering if there was some settings that should be changed or that the mobile itself does not allow such activities. Please advise.
Thank you.

Thank you for replying.
Yes, I am using the official FB app from Microsoft. I tried the FB Beta, but I still can't send pictures. Take a look at the screenshot. I can only choose 'location'

Cannot send pictures using Iphone5

I cannot send pictures using Iphone 5.
I have done the following to resolve:
1. I have the MMS setting on and the SMS setting off.
2. MMS is turned on.
3. Network settings are resetted.
What Else do I need to do?

simple workarounds:
use imessage, email, dropbox/skydrive/google drive and share links to pics,
upload on facebook, picasa, flickr, etc.

When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.

When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.
Is there any resolution to this issue?

Yes, they are registered for iMessage and IOS 5.0.1 update. A few days ago (10-12 days) the group messaging was working fine, but now the messages are being delivered to the email inox instead of iMessage app.

I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage".

I have read all the questions regarding the "Can't send photo using iMessage". I followed everything and check everything that was in it. It's still the same. I am still not able to send a photo. It started happening last week. It was fine before that. There is no error message.
It will try to send but it will get stuck just before it sends
and the red ! will appear with the "Not Delivered" status.
When i tap on the !, it just says "This iMessage was not delived".
No other message or photo is sending as the same time as the photo.
I did reset it, I checked the email address, removed it as well. Turned it off then back on. Signed out and signed back in. Wi-Fi strength is very good. iOS is 6.0.1. I checked for updates, it is up-to-date I also checked a link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755. It did not help at all.
What's wrong?!?!?!?!

It is not a matter of reconsidering the decision. There are unsolveable technical problems with trying to run a program such as Firefox on Blackberry OS. We would need Blackberry to distribute a tool similar to Android's NDK to run on Blackberries.
