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 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 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 people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

    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 I not send a SMS message to a non iPhone when MMS is turned off?

    Why can I not send a SMS message to a non iPhone when MMS is turned off? I'm getting charged an MMS every time I send a text to a non iPhone so have turned off MMS. Have tried all sorts of work arounds include rests etc. Anybody any ideas?

    Both of those are carrier features, contact your cell phone provider and ask them why.

  • Why can't i send a picture message to my contacts who do not have an iphone?

    Why can,t i send a picture message to my contactcs who do not have an iphone?

    Make sure you have MMS on in Settings > Messages.
    If it is, make sure the other phone can send/receive MMS messages.
    You can find more info here -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

  • 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.

  • Why can't i send photos via sms text?

    Wondering why I can't send photos from my iphone to someone else's phone via sms text. every other phone i've had with a camera could do that. am i doing something wrong?

    This doesn't sound very user friendly. I want a phone that's easy to use and doesn't require a ton of work arounds. Everybody else's phone can send and receive pictures just by knowing the other person's phone number.
    They don't have to know how to send it via email.
    They don't have to know what carrier the other person is using, or whether they switched carriers or not.
    They don't have to go to a stupid website to receive a picture that someone sent them - a website that doesn't even work on iPhone, so they have to wait till they get home!
    They don't have to tell their friends that because they have a cool new phone, they have to be treated specially so they can have fun too.
    It makes iPhone users sound like a bunch of dorks with a phone which can't get pictures like everybody else can. I've been playing with mine for 4 days and it's a really great phone but I've already noticed that my crappy old Blackjack beats the pants off of it for sending pictures around without having to know who someone's cellular company is or what their email address is or whether their phone can send or receive email.

  • Why can i only send photos to other iphone users?

    my plan includes SMM sending, but i can only send photos to other iphones

    Photos to other iPhone users are probably being sent as iMessages. Is the accompanying text in a blue text balloon? To ensure that MMS is enabled on your phone for regular phones, go to Settings, Messages, make sure MMS Messaging is on under SMS/MMS.

  • 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.

    Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
    Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On
