Hey Jazzadavies,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are having issues sending MMS messages (as opposed to iMessages to other iPhones). The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps for this issue (see “If you can't send and receive MMS” towards the end):

Why can I not send a photo by e-mail?

I can not send a photo by e-mail. I have tried every thing. What else can I do?

Well ....... good. And those watching over your shoulder can easily tell just what's going on. The rest of us have to work at a disadvantage.
So, try this:
a. Say exactly what you are tying to do (we know that .... send photos in email)
b. Say exactly how you are trying to do it
c. Describe what you expect to happen or to see when you do it that way
d. Describe, completely, what happens instead, including any error messages
e. Give a complete summary of what you've read, what resources you've accessed, and what troubleshooting steps you have already tried.
If you'd done that to start with you'd already have answers targeted to your specific problem. The more of it you do the better others can see what's going on and what the problems and solutions might be.

Why can't I drag & drop photos to my email anymore?

The old IPhoto let me just drop and drag a photo onto the bottom part of my e-mail screen (gmail) and it would -boom- just upload as an attachment. I didn't have to open up the attachments folder finder and waste time. I updated my MacBook the other day and now with the new Photos, this function is no longer possible. Why? Do I have to change a setting or something?
Thanks

Simply use the Share feature of Photos
Use Mail to share photos
You can use Mail to email photos directly from Photos. When you use Mail to send photos in an email, Photos sends it from the first account listed in your Mail preferences. If you have other email accounts set up in Mail preferences, you can select which email account to send the email from when you send it.
Tip: If you have many files or large files to send, you can use Mail Drop to send them. You must have an iCloud account to use Mail Drop. You can use Mail Drop to send attachments up to 5 GB in size right from Mail on your Mac, or from icloud.com/mail on your Mac or PC. All file types are supported and attachments don’t count against your iCloud storage.
Select the photos you want to send.You can send photos from your photo library or an album, but not from a slideshow or a project (such as a book, card, or calendar).
Click the Share button in the toolbar and choose Mail.Mail opens a mail message with your photos attached.
Type the recipient’s email address in the To field, then type a subject line in the Subject field.
Type a message if you want, then click Send.

Why can't I send my photos by e-mail ?

I can't send photos by e-mail. when I have gone through the process of selecting photos etc then go to send, the message comes up "your message did not go through because the server did not reply" the internet connection is fine. Any ideas?

Set the account up in Apple mail and in the iPhoto preferences choose Apple Mail as the client (BTW - Yahoo is not a client - it is a service - I assume you are using iPhoto as the client) and give it a try

Why can't I send picture messages on my iPhone 5 with Tmobile?

Can't send a picture message (or send photo as a text message). The camera icon doesn't work in message mode, and there is no option to send photo as message in photo mode (but facebook, email, twitter, etc are all there). I've heard this is a problem with T Mobile, but they say it is a hardware issue. Anyone else with T-Mobile have this issue? how did you resolve?
Thanks!

T-Mobile in the US? They are not a supported carrier. There have been known issues with MMS messaging on T-Mobile going all the way back to the first iPhone someone took to their network.

Phone will not allow me to send a photo to my email address -'server error'!

I have just wasted and hour trying to contact EE via 150 FROM MY MOBILE. It will not allow me to key in and Option number so that I can speak to someone at the other end. I am pressing the hold key and it does not work so I cannot get through! Can some one please help as I am losing the will. Never had trouble before. Grrrrrrrrr!

Hi Sorry to hear about that. Have you tried ringing them on 01707 315000?
What phone do you have, and how big is the picture you're trying to send do you know? Do you receive an error message? Cheers,
Titanium

Why Can't I receive mail in my icloud email address?

I am not able to receive messages to my icloud email address, what's going on please?

If this is happening on your iOS device, you might try deleting and recreating the account by going to Settings>iCloud, unchecking Mail, then checking Mail again. Or, on a Mac, by going to System Preferences>iCloud, unchecking Mail, restarting your Mac, then going back and checking Mail again.

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

Why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

Hello there Laurengrayce,
I message all of the time and I want you to do the same, to anyone you would like! Demmo provided a good suggestion of having this person check their services and ensuring they're setup as a 10-digit number, but I would like to provide some of my own suggestions.
If they are in fact already setup as a 10-digit number, I would recommend deleting this persons contact from your phone as well as the entire messaging thread (long press and hold on thread to delete). Readd them to your contact list and try again.
Please advise if this continues and they've already checked with their provider.
Thanks,
