Won't send photos

My .mac mail will send emails just fine but when I try to send a picture file with it it says "error can not send message on this server" etc etc....
Any ideas?
(Happens on my MacBook and it may happen on my iMac G5 as well but I'm not sure.

What type of internet connection - via wi-fi (wireless) with both computers, or via an ethernet connection thru a hub or router that is connected to a DSL or Cable modem?
Have you ever been able to send messages with attachments with this internet connection, or is this a recent occurrence?
This sounds like an MTU (maximum transmission unit) issue with your internet connection. The default MTU setting with OS X is 1500, which is the highest available. If your internet service provider specifies/requires a lower setting, not being able to send messages with attachments, or messages over a certain size with or without an attachment will be the result.

Messages app won't send photos

I'm trying to send a photo to my iPhone via the Messages app on my Macbook Pro but it won't send. It keeps telling me the message failed. How can I fix this?
I have the Macbook Pro from mid 2014 I guess, I got it from school. It's the one with retina display? I updated to the newest OSX and the messages app seems to be the only thing malfunctioning.

Hi,
Try zipping the file first.
It does seem there is some sort of issue.
It is somewhat random though.
Some say it effects AIM conversations, some jabber and some other accounts like the iMessages one.
Some say it effects Messages 8 in Yosemite to other OS version and earlier version of Messages or iChat.
Zipping seems to work for AIM conversations.

Iphoto won't send photos by email?

Although photos look as though they have been sent by email they are not in fact transmitted. can anyone help please?

Apologies my message was marked MacBookPro (this appears to be highlighted in your reply - I am new to the discussions forum and didn't realise the protocol). I have an IMac 27inch and have made sure that the settings for Apple Mail match those of my MacBookPro are similar to my IMac. The Imac sends photos whereas the MacBookPro doesn't. Whereas AppleMail shows the photos as having been sent with my MacBookPro they are not shown in the in box if I copy them to myself.

Iphoto won't send photo

Using iPhoto to send photos and the status bar completes and gives a message that 1 photo has been sent. The photo NEVER arrives. I've been on support calls with Apple, but no resolution. The email address I'm sending from works fine in my mac email, but not in iphoto. I've tried all of the possible outgoing mail ports but nothing seems to fix the problem.

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

My iphone4s won't send photos via text or email

My iphone4s takes videos and pictures no problem and attaches them to an email or text message but they won't send even when I reduced them to their smallest size.

No, they're all stuck in my outbox. When I go to the outbox, there is a message that pops up after awhile: Cannot Send Mail. The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect.
I'm not sure why it's adding the smtp-- I didn't have that in the email address.
Apparently, I'm supposed to log in somewhere, but not sure where/how to do that???

5s won't send photo or contact as message

My I-phone 5s will not allow me to send contacts as a message nor will it allow me to send photos as a message. Both things cause the screen to freeze. Could this be a problem in my settings or a mal-function with the phone. It is only a couple weeks old.

Yes to both questions. I would start your troubleshooting of the issue by attempting to restarting the device.
Simply press on the sleep wake button wait until you get the bar that reads slide to shut off. Once shut off restart the device. Write back here if this does not resolve your issue.
Good luck Friend.

Gmail won't send photos

Not working. I went to the Preferences in iPhoto, and put in the various info for my gmail account. It shows in the drop down menu. When I select a picture to email it says "The email server did not recognize the username or password combination". I did not attach "gmail.com" in the "user name" box. I copied the keychain entries for user name and password right from Keychain Access. I have gmail working in Mail, perfectly. Anyone know what is wrong? Thanks.

figured it out!
Open iPhoto
Click the iPhoto menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen
Click Preferences
Click the General tab
Next to "Email photos using"......have you selected the mail application that you want to use?
Click the Accounts tab to verify that the settings for your mail application are entered here.
the last step is crucial--my account info was incorrect in iphoto. so i fixed it and it works now!

IPhoto won't send photos via 'share-email'

iPhoto has stopped sending my pix through 'share' 'email' -- Worked fine, just quit. All other email messages coming and going fine via 'Mail.'
Dialogue box appears:
"Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

Iphone won't send photos

I am getting an error that says Operation Could not be completed. MFMessageErrorDomain error 1031
does anyone know how to correct this?

If you are using Yahoo Mail and set up the account automatically with your iPhone/iTouch, you will get this error message whenever you try to email a photo. The solution is to set up the Yahoo mail account manually like you would any other POP account. I tried it after receiving that same error messaqe over and over and this seems to have fixed the problem. The issue isn't with the iPhone/iTouch, it is with Yahoo. Hope this helps. LOU

Trouble sending photos in email from iPhoto

says my email username/password combination are wrong and won't send photos in email. My username and password combination are correct. So, not sure what to do next. All parameters are configured the same as I have in Mail app, which works

Or
IMHO the better course is to set Mail as the iPhoto email client in the iPhoto preferences

My iPhone 4 will not send photo text messages

my ipnone 4 suddenly won't send photos in a txt msg. I've tried rebooting but no luck. It worked fine the other day.

Reset network settings in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
Sometimes something hinky goes on with the cell coverage, and that's one way to try to fix it.

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.

You have a number of things that will make this not work.
Your mailto link is not the way to go, take a look at this and it should get you on the right path.
http://www.paulgdesigns.com/learncontactform.php
On your action page, you can have it give the thank you message that you want. Having a seperate page saying they forgot to do something complicates matters more than you might wish at this point, and usually irritates people. however if you decide you want to go that way, look up "sticky forms". What this does is re-populate the fields when they have to go back to correct.
A better way would be to validate the information, you can use Spry if you want which is built into dreamweaver.
You also have in your html form this
enctype="multipart/form-data"
That is used for sending files, and since you are not, the form would not work, so you want to remove it.
Hopefully that will give you a starting point.
