Why won't my iphone let me send pictures to non-iphone users?

My iphone isn't letting me send pictures to non-iphone users. It will only let me send it to other people who have the iphone 4s and have imessage. Is there something wrong with my settings? Or is it a hardware issue?

It's gotta be a hardware issue!! I'm having the same problem all of a sudden. Was able to send them before but not anymore. Have also had issues with an error message in sending Text Messages to non iOS 6 users. If I had it to do over again I'd never have switched to iPhone

Iphone 4s wont send pics to non iPhone users

tried everything. contacted Apple. still can't get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jannwj, I am sorry you are having issues with not being able to send pictures to non iPhone users from your iPhone 4S! I realize you said everything was tried! However, more specifics would be appreciated. I like to suggest for you to check on something! Is the most reset software version on your iPhone 4S? If you have not checked this, give the update a chance to help resolve the issue. Use this link to the update and following all the steps with backing up your data http://bit.ly/RA0BTg. Also, go into your settings>messages and turn MMS on. If it is already on, try doing a soft reset and retry sending the picture message. I trust this helps!
Thanks,

IPhone 4 wont send pics to non iPhone users

My daughter and I both purchased the iPhone 4 (brand new!) yesterday. Mine is working GREAT. Hers is having issues. Most issues were resolved when we removed "restrictions" but she still is un-able to send pictures to non-iPhone users, yet I have full ability to do so. Any answers? Verizon said we needed to talk to Apple before they would replace.
Thanks.

Check Settings>Messages to be sure MMS Messaging is set to On.

Check Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging and make sure it's set to "On". Make sure you have an active data connection (either cellular or WiFi). Contact your carrier and make sure that your account is properly set up for MMS.

My Iphone 4 isn't letting me send messages to non-Iphone users

My phone is on a 60 dollar monthly plan, in which my father an I did not know. We went to walmart and purchased a $50 prepaid card. It worked at first, and then when I sent messages to ANYONE, I got a message saying: "You have insufficient funds to send message". I finally got fed up, and we went to Verizon. When there, the guy said that because I'm on a 60 dollar plan, that's why my phone has been acting funky, so he had us put 10 dollars into the account, hopping that it would even everything out, because I'm on a 60 dollar plan. Well. It was working fine, I was texting my friends and what not. One in particular was a non-iphone user, and now each time I try sending a message to any non-iphone user, the message fails and it tells me that I have insufficient funds. However, my phone sends messages just fine to other iphone users. Help please...

It sounds as if you have insufficient funds on your account to send SMS messages. However, you apparently still have sufficient data to send iMessages. You'll need to contact Verizon and make arrangements either to add more money to your account or change your plan.

Iphone trying to send iMessages to non iphone users - HELP!

My friend just switched from Verizon to Sprint. He has NEVER had an iphone. He currently has some type of galaxy or android. As of last night all of my texts to him are being sent as iMessages (which he obviously doesn't receive). He's had the phone for two weeks and up until yesterday we were able to text via SMS with no issues. I still get his texts - he gets nothing from me and it only shows on my phone as going through as an iMessage. I've tried deleting his contact and adding it again. It still shows up blue in my contacts as if it's an iphone (which it obviously is not). I know I can turn off my iMessage on my phone but I like using it because the majority of my friends and family have iPhones. Is there any way to fix this??

I am having the same issue in the US.
I had a 3GS and switched to an Android based phone. My wife now has a 4s and all messages from her were going to my old iPhone instead of my new phone. My old phone does not have service, but still works well on wifi. My messages would send fine, and I could send and receive from non-iPhone users without issue. I then tried sending to an iPhone 4, and once again got an iMessage back on my old phone from that person.
Fix:
I pulled the SIM card from my new phone, had the iPhone users delete and re-enter contact info for me. The first time they send a message to me it goes out as an iMessage, but then re-sends about 5 minutes later as a regular text. Once the thread has started, it goes back and forth without issue. If they delete the thread off their iPhones, the process starts over again and the first one takes about 5 minutes to resend as a regular text.
I know iPhones with iOS 5 will always send as an iMessage first if that is enabled (and why wouldn't it, it's a great feature) but it needs to go to Apple's servers first, then resent as a non-iMessage.
I am not sure if others are experiencing delays in first run text messages to others and think the delay is teh network, when it may the iMessage function. I would like to see some feedback from others if they are seeing delays?

IPhone trying to send iMessage to non iPhone.

My friend had an iPhone 4 with iOS5 and has recently switched to a different phone as his iPhone died on him.
My iPhone is still attempting to send him iMessages and obviously they are getting lost in the ether...
I'm not going to switch off iMessaging each time I want to message him, that's just ridiculous.
Has anyone else had this issue?
How can this be resolved?

IPhone wont send pictures to non IPhone users

For the past couple of months I have not been able to sent picture messages to people who don't have iphones. I thought it was because a new update was coming soon. Once the update came and I downloaded it, it still was not working. I can send regular texts to people who don't have iphones but just not pictures. I have tried sending pictures to both people with iphones and without. I can send them to people who have iphones. Also, the ones who are non iphone users can't send me pictures either. And it's not just certain phones because I have tried with 3 different people who have different phones and different service providers. I have searched online and tried what other people have suggested but can't figure it out. All my settings seem to be fine. I have a 4s. Someone please help!!

Yes, it could allow the app to change the types of photos allowed to be viewed and sent, but also change the format in which they are taken. Essentially, if the App is only functional for JPEG2 images, then it will stop the phone from editing, and sending/receiving pics in any other format. If Removing those apps doesn't help, then first, I would do a network reset.
Settings > Genreal > Reset Settings > Reset Network Settings. This will not cause you to lose anything on your phone, but rather, it will reset all WiFi settings, and your connection to your carrier tower. This could be the issue.
Also, you could contact your carrier... For example (because I don't know the details of your contract), if your hubby doesnt want you sending/recieveing pics, or your on your parents contract, they could have turned off the feature to send./recieve pics... But if your communicating to a phone via iMessage, then that feature can't be stoped via the carrier because it's essentially an instant messanger dont over the internet.. Also check you restrictions.. If you acidentally restricted phonos on your phone, it will do the same thing... It will stop texts from sending/receiving pics, but cannot control iMessage as its an instant messanger and not a Text.
If this doesnt help, then I would consider restoring your phone off iTunes. You shoul dbe backing up regularly(once a week min) and then you may be able to correct this issue. If a restore doesn't help, then I would visit an Apple store.

Why won't my phone let me send e-mail?

I can receive e-mails from my MSN account, but ever since I updated the software I cannot send e-mails from MSN account. An error pops reading as follows:
Cannot Send Mail
The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.live.com" failed.
Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings >Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Is this MSN issue or a phone issue?

Same issue, started yeserday, a day after updating to IOS 5.0.1. I however don't have msn mail. My provider is Surewest. Interestingly, on both days it didn't start acting up until 4pm and corrected itself a couple of hours later. Can't find a thing on the web as far as a listing for similar problems go. I also am using an iPhone 3GS.
Any help here?

Why won't iCloud allow me to send outgoing email from iPhone?

I try to send emails from my newly created iCloud account, but I get an error message saying that the server isn't working.

Also same here. If it's any consolation the iCloud and mail forums are awash with this problem. I am most disappointed that the service status is showing all ok since 9.37am UTC yesterday when it is obvious that the mail poblems they posted as resolved are are not in fact resolved. I am sorry I cannot offer any solutions, as many of those suggested by others (which I have tried) either only work temporarily, slow your mail down interminably or fail to work at all. It should work the way Apple say it should and not require work-arounds. What I find most disappointing is the lack of an ackowledgement somewhere that there is a problem and it is being addressed. Perhaps then tens of thousands of people (or more) wouldn't be wasting hours and hours trying to get it to work to no avail.
APPLE, JUST ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND I CAN THEN WAIT FOR IT TO BE RESOLVED, THAT'S ALL I AM ASKING.

Why won't Photoshop CS5 let me upload pictures?

I'm new to Photoshop CS5 but i've used Photoshop before,
I tried uploading a picture the same way but the browsing styles are diffrent. so i tried both browsing styles with the same picture and each one wouldnt let me upload it and it said it was the wrong format. the format was .JPG and .PNG both wouldnt work. why wont it? please help.
-Peyton

You need to use proper terminology or no one will be able to help you.
Opening an image into Photoshop is not "uploading". The term "uploading" implies copying something from one computer to another, more powerful one, such as a server. And there is no "Browse" button in Photoshop CS5 as far as I know.
Perhaps more proper/accurate terminology (assuming I've derived what you are trying to do correctly) would be:
You want to open an image on your hard drive into the Photoshop application as a document so that you can edit it.
Now you need to describe exactly how you are trying to do that, and what's not working as you expect it to (including a description of what you expect).
Are you dragging images into Photoshop, for example? From where? An Explorer Window? Bridge? If so, what folder are you pointed to?
Perhaps capturing your screen right where you're seeing the problem, saving it as a JPEG, and posting it here would be the most direct way to answer all these questions.
