Why would an iPhone using iMessage be able to send photos to another iPhone using  iMessage  but not to a third iPhone?

I'm using an iPhone 6+ to  send photos to my sister using iMessage. She has an iPhone 5C. We both see "blue" backgrounds on our outgoing messages and grey on incoming messages. We both send and receive photos successfully. However, with another sister, using an iPhone 5, we used to be able to do same until recently. Now our backgrounds for outgoing texts are "green" and if we have a photo in the message we get ''Undelivered" message. I've taken screenshots of my iMessage settings and she claims hers match mine. Are we missing something?

    We want your phone working just as well now as it did before your trip, sngbrd9. Are you trying to send the pictures to other Apple users using iMessage or are they being sent through MMS/picture messaging? Are you able to send pictures one at a time to those same contacts without an error? Did you change any settings in your camera to have HDR now instead of a slightly lower resolution with a smaller file size?

  • Why can i only recieve iMessage but not regular text messages?

    All today, my phone has not been delivering me my regular, green text messages from anyone. But my phone will deliver me my iMessages, blue texts from my friends with iPhones. A message did pop up saying that my SMS mailbox was full and that I needed to delete messages before my messages would be received, but I went through and deleted over 400 SMS messages and that usually does the trick and the undelivered messages pour in.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    My experience has been that the first step in figuring out SMS issues is to check with the cell provider and be sure nothing has changed with the account provisioning or with the provider.  Once you've eliminated this, it's time to explore issues with the device or device OS. 

  • Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use

    Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use?

    I had the same problem with my iPhone 5 AFTER I had upgraded to IOS.
    Did a good deal of searching on this site and others and found that the main advice being given was to turn off all apps that are running in the background (From the home screen double press the home button and a visual list of all apps running in the background will appear. To turn them off simply swipe your finger upwards on each).
    Found that this definitely solved my problem and now make sure I do this every time I use the phone.
    Hope this helps

  • Why would my iPhone work perfectly fine but when it gets to 48% it randomly shuts off?

    Why would my iPhone randomly shut off at 48%? Then say its at 1%. The only way I can use it is if it ha more than 48% battery

    This is usually the feature of faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing. If there is Warranty or AppleCare this will be covered.

  • What programme creates a .ggi file and why would it be used?

    Have been asked to create a .ggi file and I have never come across this file extension before.
    I have googles it and got as much information as possible but can't seem to find the answer - why would it be used, what is it used for and what software creates it.
    Also, not sure where to ask this question so apologies if this is in the wrong forum!
    Any help greatly appreciated!!!!

    We can't know. File extensions are completely arbitrary and if whoever requested the format can't tell you what he/ she needs, then we can't either. If it were a commonly used file format we would probably not, but since we don't, it is probably a proprietary format associated with some lesser known or even exotic software. That being so, the request to provide such a file is actually even pretty stupid, since the only way to create it would be to have access to that program. Causal loop.

  • TS1702 Why am I almost never able to send photos or videos via iMessage since upgrading to iOS6?

    Ever since upgrading my iPhone 4s and iPad3 to iOS6 I am almost never able to send photos or videos to anyone regardless of their device or iOS

    I recommend taking it into the store.  Sounds to me like you have downloaded an app that has allowed itself to become the "primary" when sending and recieving images....  Apple is seriously dropping the ball!!  Just the other day, I downloaded an app called v-downloader...  Its an app that allows you to download videos through a 3rd party browser.  Well what it did, was automatically place restrictions on my phone...  I couldnt send pics, and it removed access to safari, facetime, messages, etc... so maybe try removing any recent app purchases.  Also, I would reccomend that you restore your phone.  it will redo the update off your computer and come through with less glitches 
    But I agree, iOS6 has been nothing but problems... I plan on removing the update when I get home

    I have an iPhone 4 and want to be able to send photos via sms. I hold down the copy button on the picture but when I go to paste it in the text of a message it won't paste. Any ideas on this please??Thanks

    No phone can send photos via SMS. You would need MMS (or iMessage or a 3rd party app such as WhatsApp). SMS messages are limited to 160 characters of text only.

  • Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. Please help.

    Hi. I use windows Xp with service pack 3. I have the latest itunes 11.1 installed in it. I own ipad mini. I am able to add music or apps to my library but not just videos. I have already tried removing & reinstalling it. I also have tried with various formats like MPEG, MOV, MP4. Please help.

    I already have what you ( ClayandLonnie ) have suggested with the preferences>Shareing Preferences set to share all.
    I have tried turing it off, and then back on.
    I have tried just sharing specific items and this still did not work.
    I am going to try stepping back down to 11.04.4 as previously suggested by TheDarkCanuck when I get home tomorrow. (maybe saturday).  I am just leary about having to recreate all my libraries and how long that might take.  I have over 1.5 TB of Music and Video, that is why I would like to get it working in the current version.
    Just because I don't have a Mac, it seems that this is not being taken as a real problem for the windows 7 users (maybe it is specific to 64bit).  I may try the 32bit version to see if that fixes it first.  Unless someone else has, and want to chime in.

  • Ipad and iPhone not able to send photos via email or text

    3) Choose Email from side menu on preference dialog.
    4) in Client, 'Send Email Using :' set"Outlook Express" and press 'Ok'
    You are reasy to share your images.Let me know if it helps.

  • Why is the right hand side of the tables on a Word document that was imported being cut off using Webhelp but not when using Webhelp Pro?

    I would prefer to use Webhelp and not Webhelp Pro because Webhelp allow for the insertion of a logo located to the right of the search field by selecting the "Show About" check box when generating content. The problem is that Webhelp is cutting off the words in the tables. Wordwrap is turned on in the Word document and the rest of the sentence will continue beneath the "cut off" word.

    You would only use WebHelp Pro if you were using RH Server – that’s what the “pro” versions of output are for. I would suggest that something’s wrong with your table definition. You talk about a Word document – is this the source or the output you’re talking about?

    Hello! How I can cancel my iCloud account? I would like to use alias but I have create the second account by mistake.
    Now, user's name for one alias is unavailable!
    Thank you! LG

    To the best of my knowledge you have now unfortunately blocked yourself: you can't cancel an iCloud account and as you've got the address there you can't add it as an alias, and I don't know of any workaround for that.

  • HT201302 I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
    While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device.
