Why won't iMessage send/receive PICTURES through my iPad, iPhone, and MacPro on Wifi?

For the last 2 weeks or so, I haven't been able to send/receive images through the iMessage application on either of my iPad, iPhone 4S, or MacPro. I have tried different Wi-fi connections, I have deleted/re-added email addresses to which I can be reached at/send messages and tried sending different pictures...all unsuccessfully. I try sending them, they say "Delivered" for a moment and then switch to saying "Not Delivered" (in red). I have tried to confirm with other people if they receive the pictures I send, regardless of me seeing the "Not delivered" message, but they say that they didn't receive anything. I have only been able to send pictures once in the last 2 weeks. Can anyone help me with this?

Why won't iMessages send any of my photos? (iPhone 5, iOS 7.1)

Hello!
I'm facing a little problem with iMessage. Each time I try to send a photo from my Camera Roll to someone on my contacts list using iMessage, it would say that the photo is "Delivered;" however, after 10-15 seconds, a red exclamation point will pop up on the side of the image I'm trying to send with the word "Not delivered" right under it. When I tap on the exclamation point, I am prompted to either "Try Again" or "Send as Text Message." I've tried both options, but only the "Send as Text Message" option works. I can send and receive regular messages through iMessage and I can receive photos from other people through iMessage, but I cannot send photos at all. SMS/MMS works fine. It doesn't matter if I am on Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE; I still can't send photos.
I checked out the following troubleshooting guide and tried some of the solutions, but still hasn't been solved.

I did not play with any messaging settings, so I'm pretty sure that isn't where the problem is coming from. About two weeks ago, though, I tried sending 8 photos through iMessage all at once. The person I was sending it too never received the photos, but I did not get any red exclamation points. I deleted the 8 photos that my friend never received, but that didn't solve the problem either.
I am using an iPhone 5 on iOS 7.1 (11D167). Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Update for daveeede, amcelwee08, kirbalo, and everyone else who may have this problem:
I'm now able to send photos through iMessage to my contacts (both iPhone and non-iPhone users). It started working Friday night (April 19) when I went out; I was in a part of my city that I usually don't go to. I found a picture on Facebook that I wanted to share, so I tried sending it to someone with an iPhone 4S. Surprisingly, the photo went through on 4G LTE (the person I sent the picture to replied back). To see if this was temporary, I sent another photo the next day to the same person and to an old phone of mine through iMessage, but this time, I was using my home's wi-fi connection. The photo was received in about 10 seconds. I have yet to try if I can send photos through iMessage on my Mac.
I did not play with any messaging settings, but here are three things that I did leading up to Friday night (the night it started working):
1) My old phone was a Samsung Mystic that had access to my Facebook account through ATT Social Net. I checked my Facebook settings and noticed that it was still connected to my account though ATT Social Net ended late last year. I removed it from my account.
2) Those of you who have Facebook Mobile activated on your phones (text alerts for Facebook notifications), try disabling it by replying 'STOP' 326-65 or whatever number that informed you that text alerts is activated. Think of any other services that send you text alerts frequently. Try disabling some or all for a few hours then try sending a photo.
3) I went to the official Apple support site on my phone, tapped on "Phone, Messages, and Cellular Data," tapped on "SMS, MMS, or iMessage not working as expected," tapped on the first option to send my phone's serial number and system information, and then entered my phone number (you can use email also) on the "iOS Diagnostics" window. A bar stating that it was getting information on the health of my phone popped up. I received a text message within a few minutes that gave me instructions on what to do next; I think I entered a verification code on the "iOS Diagnostics" window. Unfortunately, chat and phone help has a fee unless your phone is still under warranty. Thus, I couldn't get in contact with support. However, this was the last thing I did. I'm not sure, but perhaps sending information of my phone to Apple helped? Here's the site I went to:
https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
I ruled out that it isn't any type of hold of some sort on my ATT account. Initially, I thought messaging would go back to normal after my new billing cycle began, but that was not the case since mine starts every 12th of the month. It might be random, but not entirely sure. Is anyone else able to send photos through iMessage now?

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 I can't send my email through my Ipad 3?

I don't know what to do. everytime I send my email through my ipad 3 , It said because of outsider server but I think it is not correct . cos my friend can send it but me not so what shoud i do?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Why won't iMessage send from my iPad to a contact who has an iPhone and uses iMessage on her iPhone?

Sometimes when I'm using my iPad and I want to send a message via iMessage it won't let me. This happens even when I know that the recipient has an iPhone and uses the iMessage app on her iPhone. Why is that? I can use iMessage from my iPhone and it will go to her iPhone. Why can't it work from my iPad.?

Why won't Apple let Leica Disto connect to iPad & iPhone?

I am a surveyor/designer, I take all site measurements using a Lieca Disto and write them on paper. There is software available to link Distos to Anroid tablets but according to Leica apple won't license them to connect via bluetooth to their products. Does anyone know why, or can Apple comment please as it would be so useful, the only alternative otherwise is to go out and buy Android equipment!

Apple doesn't respond in these discussion groups - they're user-to-user only.
You can feed back directly at
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I'm not an expert on this, but Apple limits the kinds of data connection available via Bluetooth, and I guess this is the issue for Leica

Problems with sending/receiving picture messages

Does anyone know how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S? I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?? Any help appreciated.

Can you send/receive SMS's? If so, and you can't send/receive MMS's, and MMS is turned on in Settings, 99.9% of the time the problem is on your carrier's end...most likely MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, regardless of what your carrier is telling you. Call back & have them remove MMS from your account & then re-provision your account for MMS.

IPhones Can't send/receive pictures from other phone like Galaxy

I Can't send/receive pictures from/to my iphone from other phones like Galaxy, but I can send and receive text messages. I appreciate if someone can help me.

Is MMS enabled in your mobile phone tariff (check with your network provider) and is your phone configured with the correct MMS settings for your tariff?

Make sure that MMS is turned on in Settings. Sometimes that can get turned off during an update, if you recently did that. Next try would be a reset. If that doesn't help, then contact the carrier, as SMS and MMS are carrier specific functions.

Is there any particular reason as to why I can't receive pictures through MMS anymore? I used to, but now when my friends send them, I never get them? Any ideas?

How do I do that?

Howdy kingtonz,
If I understand you correctly, you want to limit to limit your use of the Messages application to non-iCloud sources such as text messaging through your phone carrier, is that right?
You can turn off the use of iMessages in Settings > Messages > iMessage. See this help article -
Messages settings - iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
