Why won't my Intensity 2 download picture messages?

My friend sent me a picture and my phone wouldn't download it. Then I tried sending myself a picture with my email and it worked. But, I still can't get pictures from other people. Help me?

obxrach, I'm sorry your having issues with receiving pictures. I know this can be frustrating because most individuals with picture messaging send and receive pictures as much as text and phone calls. Pictures you receive may be do large download. You may also need to clear your memory. I have listed information below about file sizes and steps to clear your memory. Also try removing the battery for 1-2 minutes and dialing *228, option #2 to update your phone to the tower. 
The maximum file size for picture / video messages varies from device to device.
Devices that are 1X capable only can send / receive a maximum file size of 350 KB.
Devices that are Rev 0 EVDO can send / receive a maximum file size of 500 KB.
Devices that are Rev A EVDO or LTE can send / receive a maximum file size of 1200 KB.
Lowering the camera resolution will reduce the image file size.
The maximum file size that can be sent from an email to a device is 3 MB. When any message over 350 KB is sent to the device, the file is reduced in size to be under 350 KB prior to delivery. If a device sends a 500 KB file to a device with a lower file size limit the file will be reduced to a file size acceptable by the receiving device.
Many devices are capable of sending messages that exceed intercarrier file size limits (typically 300 - 600 KB). A message that exceeds the other carrier's limits will be rejected and not reach the intended recipient. 
Steps to clear memory:
The memory capacity of this device is 105MB (built-in, flash shared memory).
From the main screen, press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose Menu.
Select Settings & Tools then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
Select Memory then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
Select Phone Memory then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
Select Phone Memory Usage then press the center of the 5-way navigation pad to choose OK.
If the phone memory is full, unused items may be removed from the phone:
Media Center applications

  • Why won't my iphone 5 send picture messages

    So I had an iphone 4 which was configured to another network, a GSM network but now I have an iPhone 5 which is on AT&T's network. It seems that my iPhone 5 wont let me send picture messages unless its through imessage. Could this possibly be due to the network setting that were on my iPhone 4 ? if so how do i reverse this

    It shouldn't have anything to do with the iPhone 4 if your iPhone 5 has been activated properly.  You would've received a new sim since they use different size sim cards.  Try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.  This will give your phone a reboot and fix any network related issues.  Also, try going into Settings>Messages>Make sure MMS Messaging is turned ON. 

  • HT1657 Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    Why won't the bought and downloaded films play?

    It won't let me download iOS 7.  When I check for software updates it says that it is up to date.  I also went to iTunes to delete the songs from the iPod, but now it isn't even recognizing any devices.  I even uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it to my computer.  LOL  I am sure it is something small, but I don't have the patience for it now.  Maybe I should step away from the computer and come back in a little bit...    Thank you for the advice though!  Keep it coming!  I know it is hard to diagnose over the internet, but any ideas help!

  • HT1689 why won't my ipad 1 download entire purchased tv episodes

    Why won't my ipad 1 download an entire purchased tv episode?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    Are you using the same apple ID and password?
    it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
    if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
    have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want?   You will still be asked for your password.

  • Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    Why can't I send or receive picture messages on my iPhone 4s?

    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.

  • My 5th gen. IPOD won't disconnect after I download pictures to it?

    I've been able to download pictures to my IPOD. However, the last time I did it I was unable to disconnect my IPOD. I kept getting the Do Not Disconnect on my IPOD, but ITUNES said it was done updating. When I tried to manually eject my IPOD I got a "note" on my screen saying IPOD can not be ejected because files that are on the IPOD are being used in another application. I checked and I didn't have any other applications going. I shut down my computer and was finally able to disconnect my IPOD, but now everytime I connect my IPOD I keep getting the Do Not Disconnect. I don't want to have to shut my computer completly down everytime I update my IPOD. It was working just fine before, so I'm not sure what is going on....
      Windows 2000  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    When you want to disconnect it and it says that...
    How to Safely Disconnect
    That way you don't need to shut down your computer.
    Also, do you have McAfee Virus Scan on your computer? That tends to be the cause of this issue. Try disabling it before you connect your iPod. When you are finished, reenable it.

  • Why won't Firefox 29 open downloads?

    Ever since that blasted Heartbleed came on the scene, Firefox 29 has been driving me baka nuts! First it blocks legitimate websites. Now it won't let me install downloads of software and programs! It won't even let me open programs in my Start Bar or Task Bar! That includes Windows Update! Now I just tried to install RealPlayer/RP Cloud and it won't install! No idea what is safe to remove when Malwarebytes finds it. MS Security Essentials and Glary Utes 5 both come up clean. If Maxthon 4 worked I'd ditch Firefox but only Firefox will most of my survey groups allow as a browser! How about some help? Email me direct if you prefer at [email protected] or at [email protected] Thanks I hope- keimanzero

    Firefox should not block programs outside of itself. Also, I don't think there were any changes in how Firefox works due to Heartbleed.
    It has a line at top that says Firefox did not allow the program to open. I hit Allow and sometimes it disapears but usually it keeps coming back up.
    Let's start with websites being blocked. What does that look like? Do you get an SSL certificate error page? Or do you get the mixed content block (shield icon) on the address bar? Or do you get the warning that the site is involved in phishing/malware? The more specific you can be about this, the better, since it may be an add-on or external filter feature that we need to track down.
    None of the above.
    When you download an executable (installer), are you trying to launch it from Firefox's download list?
    Yes.
    Does it work any better to click the folder icon on the right side of the item to "Open Containing Folder" and launch it from there?
    That won't work either.
    Windows update needs to run through IE, either in the browser itself, or using the Control Panel widget. Firefox does not support the ActiveX controls used by the update site to scan the registry for previously installed update.
    I am trying to find the page that tells me which IE I have and whether it's working or not but the page won't open.
    For malware cleaning advice, there are a couple of dedicated forums listed in our support article: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware. Those will be much more familiar with the safe use of the tools than we are here.
    How do I know exactly what those detected objects are that Malwarebytes claims are dangerous? How do I know which registry entries are OK to delete/quarantine?
    Thanks for the help guys.

  • TS3297 Why won't my iTunes finish downloading the songs I bought around 6 hours ago?

    Does anyone know why my iTunes would just stop downloading music randomly after downloading three songs?

    You probably need to use the Microsoft Installer cleanup Utility.
    Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall:
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 send pictures with messaging?

    Me and my brother got our iPhone 4's on january 3 2013. About 1 month ago we started having a problem with not being Able to send pics with texts. Now I what ever I try I can't send them I upgraded my phone to iOS6 and that seems to be the problem if anyone can help or tell me how to uninstall ios6 then I'd be super super thankful
    Thanks
    Sheila

    Like above, you cant remove iOS 6 so you need to look at resolving the issue instead.
    go to settings>messages> and make certain MMS is selected (multi-media messages - aka picture messages)
    If you are still having issues, I would recomend going to settings>general>reset>then reset network settings - this will only reset the way your phone tries to send messages with the service provider.
    If still having issues, contact your carrier to see if you have text messaging issues with your carrier before restoring your phone.
    Good Luck!

  • Why are my texts being received as picture message emails?

    When I send a text from work to my wife from my iphone 4 she receives an email on her iphone 3GS and her ipad 2 from <my phone number>@media messaging.o2.co.uk. The email says 'Here's a picture message you've been sent from <my phone number>. The message has no other content even though it is indicated that there is an attachment.
    Is this a problem with my network provider or are there some settings which need changing?

    I'm also having this problem intermittently when the other phone is outside 3G coverage (on Edge or GPRS). iMessage and Send As SMS are on on both phones. This should be reproducable at home by turning cellular data off. Will check tonight.

  • Why won't Adobe Flash Player download completely onto my new OS X 10.8.3?

    I downloaded the installation app from the Adobe website, and went through the process of choosing how to receive updates and the like. But when the installation itself begins, it gets up to 7% then stops. It stays there for a while, then quits randomly, and there's no error message. I've tried it a couple times, and have downloaded the app from the website a couple times too. I don't understand why it won't work on my new computer.
    I have an OS X 10.8.3
    Processor: 2.9 GHz 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Core i7

    1. Security turned on?

  • HT203200 Question: why won't one specific show download?

    Hi,
    When I was downloading 8 different purchased TV shows, all episodes of seasons I've purchased, one,5th on the list wouldn't download sighting err=8003. I retried many times with the same result. All the others downloaded before and after. Help?
    Hope someone has the answer!
    Thanks,
    Melissa Q

    So I received the 30G Video IPod for Xmas. Like it a
    lot. I have the most current version of ITunes. I
    purchased two tv shows and one music video on ITunes.
    I synced the iPod. Had sync all movies selected.
    It synced the TV shows, synced a few other movies
    that came with albums (Blue Orchid by White Stripes
    Video for example). BUT the music video I had just
    purchased won't sync. I tried a few tricks, created
    a playlist, etc.. but the movie section wouldn't
    even see the playlist. I tried putting the video in
    a music playlist but it wouldn't sync there either.
    How do I set up Movie Playlists so that they are
    recognized by ITunes? Any idea why that vid won't
    sync?
    Thanks!
    I have been having a similar issue with my TV shows. For example, I have the entire 2nd season of Lost and iTunes is syncing the episodes in whatever order it "feels like" {for lack of a better term} usually skipping large portions of the episodes which I had not watched, I even confirmed that the play counts were 0 and that I was syncing the most recent 5 unwatched episodes and it didn't work. It also did this with Beavis and Butt-head as well. What I ended up having to do is setting up the iPod to sync only checked items and then manually checking and unchecking the items I wanted and did not want to sync, and this fixed the issue.
    Hope this helps.
