When I send a picture via email, my iPhone 4 pulls in unwanted emails!

When I send a picture from the iPhone 4 to an email recipient, the phone then draws in any new mail - which I don't want, as I want it to go to my laptop or desktop. My old iPhone 3G never did this and if I was away from home, I could just open Mail and pull in new mail when I pleased.
I assume this can't be uncommon, though I've searched high and low for an answer - to no avail!

Thanks for the reply, good try, I thought of that myself and made sure of that this morning, but that is already all done, and as it happens, the contacts are exactly the same as in our other phone (3GS) which works perfectly, but the iphone 4 won't dial ANY local number, instead it tries to send an email. EVERY TIME. most frustrating. I am really trying to work out if there is a setting somewhere (like the area code etc) or if this is a warranty issue.
Thanks again for trying to help!

  • I need help in sending a picture via message on iphone 5

    I am experiencing a problem with sending a picture that I just took.  I have the option to message/mail/facebook.. etc, the photo.  I select message and enter a recipient, the phone freezes and the screen must be exited to get the phone to work again.  Is anyone else having this problem and what is the fix?

    Do you have Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging set to "On"?
    Are you all set up with your cellular carrier to use MMS Messaging?

    This red x is in the upper left hand corner of the box which would contain the picture if the picture were there. Nothing else is in the box

  • Why when I send a picture from my I phone to my email address does it only go to my iPad?

    Why when I send a picture from my iPhone to my email address does it only go to my iPad and not my home computer?

    Are you using the "Mail" app and not the "iMessage" application?
    iMessage as sberman stated is a mac only application. Mail however will send an email and not just a message. Your iPad may have your email attached as your iMessage name, so be careful that you don't get the two applications confused because one is universal and one is not.
    Hope this helps!

  • How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

    Why? Because something is wrong.
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    The message remains in the Outbox?
    If so, any error message provided?
    If the message is in the account's Sent mailbox, this means the message was successfully sent.

  • When I send a picture to my email address, it doesn't appear on my email.

    I have the iPhone 4 (model# MD655LL/A). When I send a picture from my phone to my email address (which I have done before, successfully), the email doesn't get to me. Why is this happening?

    Use different Apple IDs on both phones under Settings > Messages, Settings > Facetime, and Settings > iCloud.  The only place you should use the same Apple ID, if at all, is under Settings > iTunes & App Stores.

  • When I send a photo via a text message...

    When I send a picuture via a text message using my iPhone 5, the text message contains all the photos that I have sent/received from a particular person.  Is there a way to stop this so that I only send one picture at a time?  I do not think I should have to send a text message that contains multiple pictures every time I send a picture to that same person.

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    Well, there are several things that can cause the device to reset.
    One, corrupted data. If you have corrupted data on the device, when trying to access it, it can and most likely will, cause the device to reset.
    Two, Low memory. If the device has low memory, the device will operate slow and most likely reset because it doesn't have a lot of free space. The free space remaining on the device is it's thinking room you could say. The smaller the thinking margin, the more likely it will not perfrom correctly. Best way to fix memory issues is to get an SD card and save all media files to the SD card.
    Three, incompatible software. If there is incompatible 3rd party programs installed on the device this can cause several problems. Resets, missing data, and other functions not performing correctly.
    The best thing I can recommend you do is a hard reset. A hard reset will erase all data on the device but restore all settings to default. Be sure to backup your data on a PC before performing a hard reset. For further information and instructions on how to do a hard reset go to kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the solution ID search field.
    I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

    when i send a text via icloud my e-mail address is sent at the same time instead of the reciever getting my number or if i am in their phonebook they should get my name

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Check your settings> messages and see if iMessages is turned on and if so how many 'receive at' addresses you are using, it may well be that your email address is entered as one of these addresses.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • I recently updated the software on my ipad2 to 5.0.1 and when I send a message via "chat" it shows on all the iPhones associated with my account (my sisters, my husbands, etc) is there a way to stop that?

    If you have been using your phone as recommended, you should have minimal data loss from the inability to restore from a backup.
    Contacts and calendars should be synched to a computer application like Outlook or Address Book (or a cloud service like Google Contacts or iCloud).  The update process does NOT affect these computer applications so your contacts and calendars should be safe and sound in the application ready for synching back to your phone.
    Same for photos.  It is recommended that photos be imported to your computer as soon as possible after taking them (just as you would import them from any other camera) for storage, archival and safekeeping.  Again, your photos should be safe and sound on your computer.
    If you've not been using your computer as recommended, you've learned a very hard lesson, I'm afraid.

  • When I send an Imessage the receiving party sees my apple id / email instead of my name.

    Hello,
    When I send an Imessage the receiving party sees my apple id / email (is the same in my case)  instead of my name from their contacts. This worked fine but sudenly it has changest. People reply with 'who are you'. When they send an Imessage to me from an old conversation witch used to work with Imessage it is send as SMS.
    I have tried all settings under settings > messages.
    I read on this communitie other people have the same problem but no one seems to have the solution.
    Anyone?
    Thanks.

    I found the solution. At work we compared settings and several people had this same issue....
    The solution is:
    Settings > messages > receive on > Use Apple Id for iMessage - needs to be switched off.
    Strange thing i don't know how ik got switched on....
    But it is solved.

    Try contacting Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset its password.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've done that update the primary email address on the account to be an account that you have access to e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
