"Unable to Share Photo" To Linux Skype

I see it MAY relate to this FAQ: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34458/why-don-t-i-see-the-picture-my-contact-sent-me
When my contact sent me a photo from their iPhone to my linux skype, I got the link which I found odd.
But when I tested the issue going from my android to my linux, it would NOT even send the photo, with the error "Unable to Share Photo".
However, I could send from my android to their iphone.
Skype versions:
 Linux (Ubuntu 64-bit): 4.3
 Android (4.4.2): 5.3
I also tested the video from android to linux and that failed, but I'll look for an existing topic for that.

try installing the 10.8.5 supplemental update, the following link takes you to this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1686
after installing this restart the mac and try again to use the skype see if it resolves the issue. good luck

  • Unable to share photo iPhone 5c to macbook air

    I am using an iPhone 5c on iOS 8.3 and a mackbook air.
    I am trying to clear some space on my phone and trying to take some photos off and add them to my macbook.  Ive tried to use photos, iPhoto, iTunes, photo sharing, dropbox and email but all I get is a pop up titled 'unable to share' and underneath says 'There was an error while preparing to share.  Please try again later.'  Ive tried on several occasions and it just says the same every time.
    In photos, it only shows me the photo stream from 12/03/15, not sure what is significant about that date, if anything.
    Im out of ideas, can anyone help?

    Test by simplifying the name for the wireless and set names for the two bands..
    eg AE24ghz and AE5ghz.
    Then use no security.. does the MBA and iphone then join..
    If so put back security.. wpa2 with simple password, no spaces pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.
    If no connection test with fixed channels .. say 11, 9, 6 in that order for 2.4ghz.
    Don't worry about 5ghz for now.. if it still won't join it is somehow incompatible.. you need to reset the Japanese devices but I am not sure how.

  • HT201077 Unable to share photo stream

    Hi, My my friend sent me a photo stream request.
    When I click on "join this photo stream" it comes up with a messege;
    UNABLE TO Subscribe
    Photos was unable to subscribe to the shared photo stream'.
    Can someone help ? Thanks

    You posted this in the Aperture list, are you having problems with Photo Stream in Aperture or on your phone?

  • Unable To Share Photo Stream With Anyone

    ve been navigating the very unintuitive process to share photos on both the Photos App on the iPad as well as iPhoto on OS X.  I understand the iPhone adds yet another different way to do the same thing, so we'll skip that for now as this has more to do with the actual service it seems since I cannot share photos with anyone else from either the iPad or the Mac.
    In short: When I try to add a name to the list of shared persons, I enter the e-mail address in the field, and when I click away and click back on the Mac, the e-mail address is gone. I am the only person listed on the shared list of people. Similarly the iPad gives me the ability to add a name, but doesn't show me who is already subscribed ... at least it doesn't show me (the owner) as it does on the iPhoto App. When I enter an e-mail address there, it shows up under the "Subscribers" for an instant, then immediately dissapears. iPhoto on the Mac confirms that they were not added to the subscriber list.
    OK, so what goes on here? I could understand it might be an upgrade related issue if it didn't happen on both my Mac and my iPad. So is this yet another Apple bug of a promoted feature of iOS 6? Or am I just not understanding how to do this? I can't find any instructions anywhere to confirm whether I am doing it correctly.
    Bottom line: I cannot add ANYBODY to the shared subscriber list the way it is adverstised that I am supposed to be able to.
    Is there some criterea that I am overlooking for they type of subscriber who can be added? It doesn't seem to work with .mac, or .me iCloud addresses, nor any others. So I am at a loss.
    Thanks ...

    Hi, yes, I've created a Stream that's available to the public, via the "public website" option. I've tried to enter both iCloud (@me, @mac) addresses as well as others (Gmail, Yahoo), and neither the iPad, nor iPhoto take them. They appear briefly but then go away. My understanding is that there is supposed to be some kind of invitation sent which the reciever must accept before the stream becomes shared with them, but so far none of the test e-mails have resulted in this "invitation".
    I do not have Aperture, but I do have the iPhoto app on the iPad, recently updated for iOS 6, and it does not even have the option to share to Photo Stream, which I thought was supposed to do.
    This seems very strange that it is working on none of my devices. I am just updating my iPhone 3GS now (waiting to update my iPhone 4 until I figure out a good solution for the Maps debacle). I will post back the results if I am having any better luck with the iPhone than I have with the iPad or iPhoto on the Mac.

  • Am unable to share photos to Flickr using the Share function in Elements 12?

    Check your Outlook version, if it is sandboxed and compliant with the new Mac OS X security features.  See this thread, i.e. the post by Rishi Garrod:
      Re: since update I can not send pitures via outlook or apple mail please help
    This seems to be a problem with the sandboxing in Mt. Lion. I do not know of any work-around so far, sorry, until a compatible Outlook version will be available.

  • Aperture - Unable to share photos, by email and or Facebook

    When trying to share a photo/s using Aperture 3.4.1 on a MacBook Air version OSX 10.8.2
    1. by email, nothing happens - despite having set Microsoft Outlook and tried different sizes of jpg photos
    2. by trying to send to Facebook, after trying to login, the message unknown error occurred Please try again later. Login details are correct as I can login to Facebook separately.
    3. I can log into Flickr BUT I do not want to use flickr
    Does anyone know what maybe going wrong here ?
    I'll be grateful for some guidance as I am somewhat new to Macs
    thank You

    Is your Outlook version compatible with Mountain Lion? To be used from other Applications as Mailer it nneds to sandboxed, see this thread.
    Re: since update I can not send pitures via outlook or apple mail please help
    I do not think, there is a version of Outlook right now, that can be used to mail from Aperture. Use "Mail.app" instead.
    I do not know, what may be wrong with Facebook upload. The update to 3.4.1 should have fixed the Facebook access problems.

  • Unable to 'Share' photos via email

    Selecting on a photo to share and using the Share icon to send the selected photo(s) via email no longer works.  The prefernce setting is correct -using MS Outlook '11 as my default mail app.  It launches Outlook but fails to do anything after that.  It has worked seemlessly up until I applied the 10.7.5 update.  I've confirmed this issue on two seperate computers.  Worked before the 10.7.5 update and not after.  iPhoto is up to date v9.4.1.
    The system log is reporting under sandboxd (process?):
    iPhoto(192) deny appleevent-send com.apple.finder
    iPhoto(192) deny appleevent-send com.microsoft.outlook
    Any suggestions on where to look or a preference to delete perhaps?  Thank you.

  • IPhone Unable to share photos after update to iOS 7

    It does work as it should on my 3rd gen iPad. Anyone else have this problem?

    Solved. You must select next on the iPhone. Options where to send come up after doing this. The iPad is different in that when you select the share icon all options appear without the need to select next as you would have to do on your phone.

    My take on it is to removing/disallowing cookie setting on YouTube for now, till '''whoever '''finally gets it fixed.

  • I am unable to "share" my photos from Elements 11 to facebook.

    Hello!
    I am unable to "share" any photos to facebook using Elements 11.  I am not getting any error messages.  It looks as if it went through, even says it was authorized to "visit facebook", but when I do so, the photo is NOT there.  PLEASE help as I am a photographer and I have been doing this for over a year now.  I thought I was having a problem with my old program (Elements10), so I bought Elements 11 and the SAME thing is happening......

    I would suggest you to refresh online services and then try again uploading facebook. The online services can be refreshed through Edit->Preferences->Adobe Partner services.In this dialog box click on "Reset account" and "Refresh Online services" and then re-launch application.

  • 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.

  • Someone help!! Cant share photos on Whatsapp!

    Can someone please help! Trying to share photos on Whatsapp, and its keeps stating its unable to share due to settings in privacy, but I have changed it so that Whatsapp can access my photos and its still not working! Brand new iphone 6, all updated!

    Hey Kelly, I have been having the same problem, I think it's a bug with the iOS which will be fixed, God knows when. But I found an alternate way where you can go to the photo stream and copy a photo and paste it in the answer bar in your whatsapp window. I did that and it worked. I downloaded iOS 8.1 last night and seriously, so far, I am so not impressed. Hope this trick helps.
