2 phones with same problem - Cannot email photo from photo app...

Hi. I am going crazy here. Got my first gen iphone and new 3G ipone - all running latest 2.0 firmware (the later 547 version)...
Both phones have different gmail accounts setup on them and work fine when in the mail app for both sending and receiving (both phones).
Here is the problem.. If I go into the photos app and try to email a picture (on both phones this exact same thing happens), it takes ages with the spinnning logo along the top line near the carrier info.
Eventually it comes up with the message "Photo Delivery Failed - A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
I have tried deleting the accounts and reinstalling them - resetting network settings etc. all the same..
Why is this happening and on both phones with differnt gmail accounts..
Is this a known bug in the v2.0 software?
I am not using mobile.me by the way...
I am stumped - anyone?

Hey, just saw your email after fighting the "Message could not be sent" alert which happened every time I tried to send a photo from my iPhone... I tried my gmail, MobileMe and a personal account, no luck, and the "hard restart" that other posts talked about (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8019073&#8019073) did not help me either.
Then I realized that the problem was only on my WiFi network (just like you said!); flipped it over to 3G, and the Photo was emailed with no problems.
This must be some sort of bug in the operating system... grr! But I'm glad you posted your findings, it saved me!

  • Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
    i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
    Any ideas ?

    This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
    Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
    I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
    And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

  • IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

    I cannot email photos from iPhoto.  I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

    Do you have two-step verification enabled  and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
    Then check this solution:
    If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
    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)

  • 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???

    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.

    The Email ID provided here has CC registered to it in active status. The Email also stands verified. Are you using any other Email ID ?
    Let me know if you are facing issue regarding verification by activating the Cc with the email ID provided here.

  • Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop.

    Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop using the same login credentials. I can use a different appleID and login to itunes with no problem.

    Thanks for your reply.  I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone.  I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

  • Cannot email photos from lightroom

    I cannot email photos from lightroom 5.4.  Is there a limit to how many photos you can email at one time?

    Without knowing more details I suspect your problem may be your e-mail server. Many of them limit the message size you can send so if you're sending full size images rather than downsized images you may be exceeding those limits. As a test try to e-mail just one photo of limited size and see if that works. Otherwise, more details on how the program hangs up when you're trying to email those photos may be helpful.

  • Cannot email photos from iphoto 9.2

    I have iphoto 9.2 and cannot email photos. When I go to send it, it tells me that "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."
    What does that mean? I thought I had it set up to send from my POP account.
    Help!

    I would like to be able to mail using the fun iphoto templates some day...but for now, this will work.

    This states that you need to do an smc reset for full powernap functionality. It could be effecting it if it was an older macbook air that you updated to mountain lion?

    Hi,
    I do have iDVD, but, and I shouldn't have included the mention of eventually needing a DVD, my primary concern is to try and make an MPEG 4.  I've tried using share to go to .m4v and the system tells me to shut iMovie down, and won't render it at all.  That one time I did run the MPEG 4 as I said, the image looked terrible - not just mildly so, but in some parts almost unwatchable.
    I'm running blind on editing at this point because of the size of the project - sound is garbled and it takes forever to do any sort of editing - all I get is the spinning wheel of death.  I really just need to get an MPEG 4.

    Cannot email photos taken on iPad 2 that are on camera roll.  Used to be able to.  I am currently on iOS 7.  Read too many bad reviews of new version.  Any suggestions?

    You have to restore from iTune or iCloud backup if you have one.

    i have 3 iphone with same apple id, is it possibele i can use whatsapp in all the three phone with same apple id

    Whatsapp uses your mobile phone number, not your Apple ID. So you can use it on 3 phones, but each phone will be a different "person" on whatsapp's network.
