After upgrading to ios7 i can no longer send pictures via whatsapp?

after i upgrading to ios7 i am no longer able to send media via whatsapp, is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

I did what I have been doing all along. I didn't have any problems until just recently. I went to camera roll, clicked on email photo, entered the address and sent. This has worked in the past but is not working now. I can send emails but I can't send photos. I have been having trouble on my computer with mobileme and not sure if this has anything to do with my sending photos on my iphone.
Thanks for responding and any help you can give. I will take a look at page 122 of the iphone ios4 guide.

HT3529 Why can't I send pictures through a text message?

I have recently upgraded to an iPhone (first time iPhone user) and I am trying to send a picture that I recently took to an individual through a text message. I have tried viewing the picture and pushing the button that brings up the option to send the picture through a message, but when I try to do that I always get a message telling me that the message has failed. I'm not sure exactly what to do at this point. Any help will be much appreciated.

I am using AT&T and the individual I'm trying to send the message is also on AT&T service, but they have a different type of phone that is not an iPhone.

Since upgrading to iOS 6 I can no longer send pictures as attachments to text messages, why?

I upgraded to iOS6 and can no longer attach photos to text messages, why would that be? Also since upgrading I find that the Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 4s is now grayed out. Is this something to to with the upgrade or what? I am really frustrated by the glitches with this new iOS. It is very un-Apple like.

I recommend taking it into the store. Sounds to me like you have downloaded an app that has allowed itself to become the "primary" when sending and recieving images.... Apple is seriously dropping the ball!! Just the other day, I downloaded an app called v-downloader... Its an app that allows you to download videos through a 3rd party browser. Well what it did, was automatically place restrictions on my phone... I couldnt send pics, and it removed access to safari, facetime, messages, etc... so maybe try removing any recent app purchases. Also, I would reccomend that you restore your phone. it will redo the update off your computer and come through with less glitches
But I agree, iOS6 has been nothing but problems... I plan on removing the update when I get home

After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Can no longer send or receive iCloud account messages in Mail on my iMac

Simply that: On July 14, I hadn't been in Preferences or Settings, but Mail suddenly ceased to be connectable. No sending or receiving since then. While I can access my iCloud mail through a browser, there are too many negatives to that method. e.g., I don't like lack of default composing preferences: why should I have to go through the font/size/color/ each time I write an email? But every time Mail does work, it "imports" more than a million messages -- per the Activity Monitor -- though they are certainly not all there (thankfully). I don't think Mail is "all there" since Mavericks. But I don't want to use gmail any longer.
Would a TimeMachine restore of Mail back to July 13 fix the settings issue as well, or just the doesn't need fixing messages part?
Is Apple's upcoming Yosemite likely to fix Mail's myriad issues? It seems as if MountainLion was mostly good, but suddenly there was/were Mavericks and several things were not the same. And not in a good way!

Well, mine now is, oddly enough, but there was a point when it worked again, and before I had a chance to say "hooray" it went out again. I have screen shots of the various account settings windows so I can refer to them if it happens again; I figure I can check the settings and if they have changed themselves -- cause I for sure am not going to change a thing since they are now working -- I can put them back where they were at the time Mail actually worked for my iCloud account.
Still, what a hassle. And ironic, that I can deal with my gmail account in Mail! But my intent is to switch to iCloud for my mail, since I do not like gmail's lack of sorting options, and some of Google's policies.
Good luck, Songbird68. Keep me posted and I will do the same--

I can no longer send picture e-mails from my ipod. Why?

I use to be able to send pictures from the Photos app to my e-mail. Now when I try & send them, I never get them. I also tried sending them to the Facebook mail, but again- never get them. No error message pops up on my ipod. Any suggestions?

Oh my goodness! Thank you sooo much! This worked. I can now stop sending the business e-mails from my personal account - ha ha. Since you helped me with this, maybe you can help me with one more thing. I haven't been able to attach to e-mails in this account for quite awhile now, just been using a jump drive, since a previous automatic update. I didn't obsess over it due to the fact that I could still send e-mails. Any more help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
By the way, you also put it in terms I could understand. I'm not computer illiterate, just not as up to date as I should be. Step-by-steps help alot! :D

Can no longer send pictures via e-mail

I just realized no one is receiving my pictures anymore. I can find them in my "sent" file, then forward, but I can no longer click on a picture and simply e-mail it. Not sure how/why/when this happened. Help! Thanks!

In the iPhoto preferences, you can choose which email application you would like to use to send photos.
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Sounds like you're using Apple Mail, but if you have Outlook installed, you may very well be using that.
How large are the files you're sending? Some email providers cap the size of an email to 10mb, so if you're sending larger or multiple photos, that may be part of the issue?
Not sure though if they're sitting in your Sent folder...

TS2755 why all of a sudden i can no longer send pictures? I get a red explanation mark

I have been sending pictures with no problems when all of a sudden my pictires won't send. It leaves a red exclmation point next to the message

Weyline 188,
I'm not sure what you mean by "no longer get Safari." Look in the Applications folder to see if Safari is there if it is then you have Safari. If you click on Safari it will open (assuming it's not open already) and it will go to the page you set as your home page which you may have set as Google. From there you can navigate where you want.
If you are having other troubles please write a more descriptive post so you are drawing a picture for us. Remember we can't see what you can.

HT203167 I lost my purchased ringtones when I upgraded to IOS6 and can't find them.

I don't have my ringtones or camera roll since I downloaded ios6 and synced/restored my iPhone.

They will only be where you put them.
Did you transfer them to your computer before updating?

Since upgrading toFirefox 4, I can no longer return to my e-mail message from an on-line attachment without shutting down the browser since there is no "close tab" option

Formerly, an e-mail with a website, photo, etc. attachment that I opened required only that I click close tab return to my e-mail message. Since upgrading a few days ago, the only option present is to exit, which now requires re-opening firefox then my e-mail browser. Any website I am examining that I want to close automatically exits me from Firefox.

there should be an X on the right side of each tab. clicking on it should close that tab

TS2755 Since updating to ios6, I can no longer send text or pictures to non apple phones.

I am having no luck whatsoever texting from my iPad to a non apple phone. That includes pictures also. I have disabled imessage and rebooted and still no capable. Very frustrating.

You could never text using the Messages App with a non Apple Phone. Messages only works with other iOS devices so unless you were using a third party app, you never could text with a non Apple phone. Its impossible with the built in Messages app.
