When I attach an iPhoto picture to an email it always compresses.

I'm attaching a headshot for business cards but everytime I attach it to the email, it goes from a 800Kb file to a 80Kb file, even when I choose original size.
What am I doing wrong??

Hi Gho1188: When you are composing your email with the photo attached, check in the bottom right corner of the compose window. Set to "Actual Size". This should solve it for you.

  • When I attach a JPG file in my email and send it to a Windows friend they get the message "The file type being saved or retrieved has been blocked when they try to open it." Anyone know why and how to fix this problem?

    Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

  • Mailing an iPhoto picture crashes my email

    emailing an iPhoto picture crashes my email. Can you help?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

  • When i attach a portable pdf to an email, it opens and displays contents.  I want the file to remain closed - help.  thanks

    When I attempt to attach a portable pdf to an email, it automatically opens and displays in the email.  I want the file to be attached not opened.  I am new to MAC and do not understand this portable pdf concept.  Lease help.  all I want is a file to show on the email message which can be opened by the person receiving the email.

    Mail shows any single-page PDF (as well as many other document types) as a preview in an email message rather than the icon, but it is actually being attached as a normal email attachment. Unless the recipient also has Mac OS X Mail, they'll just see the PDF as an attachment unless their mail application also shows PDFs in line.
    There is a third-party product which can suppress this display so that all attachments including single-page documents just show in Mail as an icon. If that's of interest, let me know and I'll post the URL to the product. But it doesn't affect how the document is attached and the email sent, only how it displays on your system.
    Regards.

  • When I pull up iphoto to download pics, email, view, anything, I immediately get the 'colorful spinning wheel'....what do I do? Thanks!

    I have been downloading all photos from my Nikon to iphotos. Recently I have not been able to get into my iphotos for anything. I pull it up and immediately the colorful spinning wheel appears and I can't do a thing. The only way I have been able to get out of it, is by turning my mac off and restarting. As soon as I go into it again, the wheel repairs and I have let it stay on for hours and it doesn't clear it either. Can anyone help? Thanks! M

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • When I go to a link in Thunderbird Email Firefox always opens my home page. Will not open the Emailed link.

    When I receive an Email in Evolution and there is a link in the Email to go to a web site Firefox opens my home page. It will only open the home page when following a Email link. I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Ubuntu 11.04
    Thank you

    I use Ubuntu 10.04 and I also get this problem when attempting to open a link through TBird 3.1.10. Firefox 4.0.1 '''opens to my homepage only'''. I have to physically put the link address in the address bar to go to the link.

  • When I click on a link in an email I always get a message 'General failure URL :.... unable to find file' and seconds later the web address opens. Is there anyway to stop this?

    I get a message saying 'General Failure. The URL was: ".........". The system cannot find the file specified' whenever I click on a link in an email and then seconds later the web site opens. If I open firefox and then click a bookmark or search I don't have a problem

    See this lnk for a fix, it worked for me!

  • TB crashes with trying to attach files or pictures

    I'm running Windows 8.1, TB 24.6.0,
    TB often crashes when I attempt to attach files or pictures to an email. I noticed that it happens when browsing for the attachment file (or picture) in folders into which files are displayed in thumbnail and not so if showing only the file name (no thumbnails). Do you know if this has been reported or fixed?
    Thanks,
    Mip

    I located this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=802825 which indicates there is a third element.
    Some have apparently been helped by updating their flash software.
    You say Thumbnails, these often use third party DLL files to display them or generate them. Is there a specific file type in the crashing folders that is not in others, like PDF or word or some other application entirely. As the DLL has unloaded before the crash report is generated the devs are looking for a common link. Currently anti virus programs are suspect (scanning the files that are accessed to generate the thumbnails. But any observations you can offer would help here I think.

  • Why am I being asked to authenticate for example when dragging a picture from an email to my desktop?  Can this be turned off?  It started with Lion

    Why am I being asked to authenticate by entering my password when for example dragging a picture from an email to my desktop?  This started with Lion.  Is there a way to turn it off?  Thanks,

    I found that right clicking on my hard drive, Get Info and under Sharing & Permissions when the Privilege was changed to Read & Write, the authentication pop ups stopped and I could drag pictures to my desktop and save attachments there also.  Now my hubby and I will investigate the Names under S&P.  We know one is System, another is him sharing.  There is a third that says everyone so it will be the main one we research.  I get the basics of what they are - to secure folders etc. from someone getting into my computer.  I'm sure this is a pretty basic description of the issue so I guess if you read this and try any of this to stop the authentication, you should make sure you know what and why. 
    Thanks for your help softwater.

  • Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.

    Hundreds of my iPhoto pictures will not be copied and will not show when I double-click on them.  When I do in iPhoto an exclamation surrounded by a triangle appears.  Though I can see the picture in the small tiles below it will not expand.  I also cannot attach any of these pics into an e-mail or into any other file.  I have already went through all 3 Repair options and when that did not solve it went through a complete Rebuild.  Any Help?!  Any Suggestions on how to fix this?!  I have spent almost 2 days now going through all of the published help.
    I have backups going back 6 months - I have not had the real need to check every album before - but - all of my backups also have this same problem.

    The triangle with the ! indicates that the connection between the thumbnail and the orginal is missing - this can be caused by many things including database corruption and user action emoving the originals photos on urpose or by accident
    If the database is corrupted then rebuilding is the solution - backup and depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database  --  if the iPhoto rebuild does not cure the problem then download iPhoto Library manager and use its rebuild command which creates a totally new library leaving the existing one untouched
    If you have deleted the photos then you need to start over with a new library and import the photos you have not deleted into it
    You can select one of the problem photos and use the reveal original in finder commander (file menu) to see if the original is there - if it is a finder window will open showing it

  • Would like to verify Time Machine backup but when I enter TM and then open iPhoto, it only provides me a gray window telling me the size of the file. How do I make sure all iPhoto pictures have been backed up on Time Machine?

    Yes, that's for network backups only. 
    What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
    You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
    You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
    You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea).  See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?
    What colour profile is the shot?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I lost all of my iPhoto pictures i think. when i click on iPhoto it says "which photo library do you want iPhoto to use"

    the version of my laptop is 10.8.5
    there is no photo library anywhere on my computer
    the "pictures" folder only has a "photo booth library" which i am not concerned with
    i believe this has happened before (couple of months ago) but I'm not sure how i handled it and if it was the exact same situation
    bottom line is that something pops up when i click on iPhoto and there is not photo library to choose from.
    please help!!

    What happened between yesterday and now?  Did you update software? Install new software?
    Did you run new software, for example cleaning applications? 
    Can it be, that you are now signed into your Mac from a different user account?
    Spotlight will not search everywhere.
    Search with Find Any File for iPhoto Libraries -  download Find Any File here: The trial is free:
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.htmlhttp://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search.
    I learned this  from Old Toad , see his post here:
    Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
    Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

    When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

    What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
    Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
    Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?
