Iphoto can't share via email; error message: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

I can never share via email, using iPhoto. The error: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. always pops up. I have no problems with my server or internet connection.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account there. Then add it back. If that fails you can select Mail as your email client in iPhoto as that's more reliable and flexible. It also offers stationary for photos that are not unlike those in iPhoto's client:
and using Mail as the client will allow you to have a Sent copy automatically.

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

Updated to yosemite, now in iPhoto when I try to send a photo I get the following error'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'. Help please.

Hi, I've recently upgraded to Yosemite. I tried to send a picture out from iPhoto as I regularly do without issue. Now I get this error message, 'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'. Can you help please?

Try rebuilding your iPhoto library. Directions are simple Rebuilding the iPhoto library. Please post back after doing the rebuild and then re-testing.

I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

Iphoto Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then I have been unable to send photos by mail from iPhoto and on attempting get the following error message 'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'.

Have you enabled two-step verification? Then you need to create an app-specific password, see the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)

Email did not go through because the server did not reply?

When I try to email photos directly from Iphoto, it keeps saying that the email did not go through because the server did not reply, however the server is fine. Can anyone assist. This is a new issue, I was able to send photos a week ago.

I have the same problem with iPhoto 9.2.3 running OX 10.7.4 This is a recent problem and the server is fine, I can send mail from my primary email client (Outlook). I can share photos to face book but I can't share a photo from iPhota via email now. The message pops up immediately after I click the send button.

Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

Trying to send photos to email from iPhoto and get the message 'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.' I am online and server working for internet.??

Remove the email account from iPhoto and add it again. Sometimes that gets email working again.
The account settings are in iPhoto's Accounts preference pane - in the "Accounts" tab.
Select your email account - press "-" to remove the account, then add it again by pressing "+". Enter your username and password and try again.
Good luck!

I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!

I have upgraded to Yosemite and also updated the iPhoto application to version 9.6. I am no longer able to send a photo from iPhoto via email. I get an error message saying the server is not responding. But, when using the same server in Mail, I can attach the photo and send it. My wife is using the older version of iPhoto and it works fine.
I have checked the settings for the outgoing server, etc. and the Mail settings match those in iPhoto.
Could this be due to either the Yosemite upgrade or the iPhoto upgrade?

After upgrade iPhoto will not email using Gmail. Message " Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."

After upgrading on both computers at work and at home, iPhoto will no longer email using Gmail (or for that matter any email program I can find). I've tried the fixes of deleting all accounts in iPhoto and re-entering. Still doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Hi Scooter,
I'm reposting my response to a similar question here.
Try this, assuming you're using iPhoto 11 and Mountain Lion:
Within the iPhoto application, click on iPhoto in the menu bar
Click on Preferences
Within Preferences, click on Accounts
Your Gmail account should be present. Click on Gmail under Accounts.
Put in the proper information. Your full gmail address is your username (put this under Email address). Outgoing Mail Server is smtp.gmail.com Port is 465 Password is your password. Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) should be checked.
Upon making these changes, click on the red "close" button in the top left corner of the pop-up window. Choose to Save Changes.
Close iPhoto.
Reopen iPhoto. You should now be able to share photos.
I hope this helps. One suggestion for you, by the way. It's always best to include the application version and the operating system version you're using when asking for help. The above solution will not apply, at least exactly, to anything other than iPhoto 11 and Mountain Lion.
Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Elmer,
I researched this error message, I think you can try the methods below:
Increase the timeout of the connection between the client and the server
Increase Client timeout, and it is set in the Application class in the Client Project
For further information: Error message: Unable to save data

LS Getting the error "The data could not be saved because the server could not be contacted" when deploying on my local desktop

Hi:
I have a very simple test LS App:
1 Table "Person" with 1 property "Name"
One totally standard Editable Grid
So no complicated calculations that could timed out...
When I hit F5 the screen launches and shows the data, but when I try to create a new Person it waits for about 2 minutes and then the following error appears:
The data could not be saved because the server could not be contacted. Please check your network connection and try saving again. The Operation timed out.
Despite the error the data gets persisted on the database.
I am on VS 2013 Pro Update 4 and SQL Server LocalDB 2012 (v11.0).

If you decide to try again I would:
1) Uninstall Visual Studio
2) Uninstall SQL Server (all versions)
3) Re-install SQL Server
4) Re-Install Visual Studio

IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

How do I get a rid of the error message "Insecure Start-Up Items folder detected because the folder does not have the proper security settings?

I recently upgraded my OS from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8, so that I could download iTunes to my new iPhone 5. After upgrading to 10.6.8, I received error message about my Symantec Norton anti-virus security, so I upgraded that to security that's compatible with 10.6.8. Now I receive the error message above, about my Start-Up Items folder. There are currently no items in the folder. How do I get rid of the error message above? Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Resolution:
To prevent the "Insecure Startup Items folder detected" message from appearing
Open Disk Utility from /Applications/Utilities.
Select the name of the volume where Mac OS X is installed (default name is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button.
After permissions repair is complete, restart Mac OS X and verify that the message no longer appears.
