Can someone tell me why I am unable to send a photo from my iPad? This is new.

Hello:

I am a new member. I am pretty untechy. I have an iPad that I enjoy, but I don't really understand it. I have used it a good deal for taking and mailing photos. Today my husband's truck caught on fire, so I thought a picture would be good. I have several photos in my iPad but when I try to mail them to friends, the iPad will not allow me to type in the e-mail address field. It just seems dead? Can you tell me what's up with that?

Thank you?

Hi Heef - welcome to the forum! First, I'm assuming that your have these photos in the 'Camera Roll' of the native Photo App; second, I'm assuming that you are first going to the Photo App, selecting the images you want to send, then press 'Share -> Email'? If so, this should put your selected images into a new email and you just need to enter the addresses - please let us know if this is 'how' you are trying to send these pics?

Now, in the meantime, I would suggest that you 'Force Close' the mail app (see directions below and make sure Mail is not opened) - test and if not successful, follow the other suggestions in the quoted statement - good luck! Dave

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up); press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.

Thank you. I don't know how or why, but the situation seems to have corrected itself. Magic!
