When emailing from Contacts, Send button is grayed out

I'm using an iPhone 5s with iOS 8.2.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to Contacts
- Select a name
- Where it lists their email address, press the email address
- This opens a New Message.  The To: field will have the selected email address.  The Cc/Bcc, From will has my default email address.  NOTE:  This doesn't matter whether using Yahoo, Gmail, Earthlink, or an work Exchange email account.  Applies to ALL email accounts.
- Type in a Subject
- Type in a Message
- The 'Send' button in the upper right remains grayed out
- If you press 'Cancel' in the upper left, it will ask to Delete or Save Draft or Cancel.  Deleting Draft takes you to the Mailboxes window
- If you press where the To: email address is, the email you are sending to will disappear and a Circle-Plus sign appears and you have to either type in the recipient again or use the plus sign which takes you back to the Contact list
I've checked settings, changed default email accounts, deleted email accounts and reloaded, but it is the same behavior.
Is this a bug?

Yes, that's a bug. I've seen it as well.

  • I can receive iMessage but not send from my ipad.  The send button is grayed out

    The send button in IMessage is grayed out.  I can receive messages but not send them.

    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
    Who are you using as your internet service provider at the time?
    Does your ntlworld email account have an authenticated SMTP server.
    I believe Yahoo does for a Yahoo account.

  • Imessaging on my wifes ipad2 isn't working.  It will recieve messages, but when I try to send them to my iphone or my ipad the send button is grayed out and it won't go.

    imessaging isn't working on my wifes ipad2.  She can recieve messages from my iphone or my ipad1, but she can't send them. 

    The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
    If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
    Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it.

  • HT4245 My IMessage send button is grayed out and I have tried everything like: turning off and on the subject field button and I really want to use my IMessage.

    Please I want an answer asap and by the way I live in Egypt.

    Certainly not.  I know you are trying to be helpful.  I've been around a bit longer and have seen many of these subjects pop up, so I was aware that Egypt and iMessage has been problematic.  Nothing more than that. 
    Trust me, when I first started here, the top members of the forum, corrected me often.  I always took it as they are more knowledgeable and I learned from them.

  • Import button remains grayed out when adding existing folder to LR 4

    Greetings.  I'm following the steps in the following link from Adobe:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WSE828B644-9097-46ab-98A7-E2719BBB6647.htm l
    The final step, after selecting the folder I want to add, is to select Import.  Except, the Import button remains grayed out.  I'm not sure what to do in order to select Import and add the folder I already have.
    Thanks,
    Mike H.

    Thank you for the information.  Yes, that seems to make sense based on what I've discovered using LR 4.  Still trying to come up to speed.  Appreciate everyone's help with their tips and insight.

    Folders per se cannot be imported - only pictures (or movies) in a folder can. So, you have to select a folder containing at least one picture or movie (all pictures and movies found are automatically selected when the import dialog opens). This is probably not the case for the folder you want to add, so "no photos found" is displayed in the dialog center and the "Import" button is greyed out.

  • Can someone tell me how to email from my contacts in my ipad? The send button is gray when i email from contacts but blue otherwise

    Please Rephrase your query.

  • Why is my send button disabled when emailing through contacts?

    I currently have an iPhone6, and when I go through my contacts list and select a contact to send an email to, the "send" button is disabled (gray). I prefer this method of contacting clients.
    That being said, when I go through the actual mail application, it works just fine.
    Thoughts?

    That's a bug. The "To" address appears filled in but Mail doesn't think it is there So it won't activate the Send button.

  • Bug: Failure to Send emails from Contacts after 8.2 update

    After updating to iOS 8.2 sending emails from Contacts may fail.  I can consistently get the following failure on multiple iPad/iPhone devices:
    Open Contacts, select any contact with a valid email address field, select the email address, and a “New Message” window will open.  Type in any subject and the “Send” text will turn blue – this is as it should be. Select “Cancel”, “Delete Draft”.
    Return to Contacts.  Once again, select any contact with a valid email address field, select the email address, and a “New Message” window will open. Enter any “Subject” text.  The “Send” text will never turn blue and you will never be able to send an email from the Contacts.
    The only way to once again send an email from Contacts is to end the email app.
    This problem did not occur before iOS 8.2.

    Others have seen it an reported as well.

  • TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

    I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

    Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
    It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
    Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
    Just turn it off.

  • I am trying to use Iphoto and the share button is grayed out so I cannot send an email

    I have tried multiple times to upload photos but the "share" button is grayed out. Anyone know how to fix that?

    That refers to iMovie, not iPhoto, and photos in Events can certainly be shared to Email.
    What email option have you selected? IPhoto? Or some other one?
    Regards

  • Why doesn't all the emails from a sender show

    Hi,
    When I search by sender it jumps not by day but by month; meaning it shows a few emails this month and then jumps back to march and then january for example. But I know I had daily emails from the sender but they won't pull up. Please help, can't find the setting to fix this.
    THANKS

    Did you owe iTunes any money and/or have any pre-orders or auto-renewing subscriptions that were due ? You can view the purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    If not then have you tried logging out of your account (tap on your in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone) and then log back in and see if it then shows the correct account ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and ses if they know where it went (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I'm having trouble transfering bookmarks from Safari to Firefox. File, "Import" button is grayed out. I've gone through your trouble shooting, the database for imports is no longer current.

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have the latest version of Firefox 5.0. I'm over Apple's Safari, and I'd like to transfer my bookmarks into Firefox. I've gone through your help and support section and found an article that could help me. However, when I click File, the "import" button is grayed out. Which prevents me from importing bookmarks into your browser. So I drug the Firefox icon into the recycle bin, and hit empty trash, then re-downloaded the firefox software from your site, and it seemed to remember my old bookmarks from a year ago. The file, "import" button was still grayed out, so I couldn't update my entire new list of bookmarks onto your web browser.

  • When emailing from iPhoto, the recipients address comes up incorrect, even though it is correct in both my email accounts.  How do I edit it?  I have changed it, but the next time it appears it contains the same errors.

    When emailing from iphoto with a template, the recipients' address comes up incorrect (a couple of letters are wrong).  The addresses are correct in both my email accounts, including the one I am using for the iphoto email.  I have corrected the address prior to sending the email, but they come up with the same errors the next time I choose them in the iphoto 11 program.  How do I correct thes email addresses?  thank you

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.
