Make sure you have MMS on in Settings > Messages.
If it is, make sure the other phone can send/receive MMS messages.

Why can't i send my pictures from the printer to the computer

I put my memory stick from my camera into the slot on my HP officejet 6500A plus, and it does not give me an option to send it to my computer for my files. It only gives me View and Print, Create and Reprint... why can't I send the pictures from that memory stick to my computer from the printer? Thanks

Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

Why can't I send multiple pictures with my iPad? I can only send them one by one please help.

Are you trying to do this from the photos app or from the mail app? Explain in a little detail what is happening when you try to select multiple photos.
No matter which app you are using, you can try quitting the apps completely and then reboot the iPad and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

Why can't I send a picture in the e mail?

In the last couple days I can only send picture as an attachment.If I browse or drag any picture into the e mail the picture will be deleted by Avast or Thunderbird. I have turned Avast off and sent an e mail with a picture and the picture got deleted. I can only think Thunderbird getting rid of my pictures and also not let my friends send me a picture.
How could that be?
Ed

I set up another e mail account with Outlook and was able to send a picture to my Thunderbird address intact. Just now I stopped my virus protector Avast altogether and sent a picture to my Outlook address from Thunderbird and the picture was deleted.
The reason I'm searching for the answer here to remedy this problem because most people I'm sending family pictures are not computer smart and they cannot open attachments to look at the pictures. On the other hand if the pictures are visible in the e mail they can share memories with me.
So again why can't I send pictures in Thunderbird anymore yet a week ago it was not a problem. This is another topic besides when typing an e mail and the font will change for no apparent reason.

Why can't I send a text message while talking on the phone?

Today I was on the phone and received an important text. I tried to answer it, but received the message that it was not delivered. I had to end my call to send the text. Why can't I send a text or get directions from Google Maps while I am on the call?

Google Voice allows texting (and is useful for other things as well). If you're not in the U.S., I don't have any suggestions beyond searching the App Store for "Text" or "SMS". In the U.S., there are a number of apps that allow texting to other people who have the app (much the same way iMessage works) but there are a few that will also allow texting to other phones.
Best of luck.

HT201077 Why can't I see my pictures in photostream on my iPad I took on my iPhone

Why can't I see my pictures in photostream on my iPad I took on my iPhone

It may be because photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though thry remain on your device until you delete them. If you enabled photo stream on your iPad after you enabled it on your iPhone, you would only receive the photos from the last 30 days, as ealier photos are no longer there.
If that's not the issue, try saving the photo stream photos on your iPhone to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then go to Settings>iCloud and turn photo stream Off, wait a minute or so, then turn it back On. Then take a new photo on your phone, close the camera app, then while connected to wifi see if it appears on your iPad in a minute or so.

Why can't I send Photos using Message on my Mac w Yosemite

I have just tried to send a photo, taken w my iPhone 6 and properly shared automatically to my MBP w/Yosemite.
I cannot send it via email; I cannot send it via Messages.
I checked for solutions re email; I use Postbox as my email client which may be the problem, though not sure how to fix.
Right now I want to know why I can't use Messages either! It had been working OK till now for text msgs.
Ideas/solutions would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance

thanks for replying; yes I did use that. Sorry I didn't mention.
The email option is grayed out when I tried to use it.
Oddly, I found a work around, which was to send the pics from my iPhone, which I guess uses the iOS version of Mail.
thanks

Why can't I send photos in messaging

I used to be able to attach and send photos in messaging and now I can't. What should I check

When I open the message app, then tap the camera icon, it lets me choose a picture to attach. Does that not work for you? I can also go the other way by opening the photos app, choose a picture, then choose to send it with message

Why can't I send photos through Messages anymore?

I just updated my software for the new iTunes and Safari this morning, but now I can't send photos on Messages. The recipient is someone I talk to everyday, he uses an iPhone, and I just successfully sent photos yesterday. Only after this update have I had any problems? I've tried completely closing the application and reopening it, I've tried different file types (JPEG, PNG, GIF) but no luck. I have a MacBook Pro 15" (2012), OS X Version 10.8.5.

There should be a camera button that you press on. It asks you if you want to use a picture already taken or to take one. Then you upload it on to the message and send.

Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message. I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are. I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.
