A3 "tell a friend" email incorrectly states the password is PASSWORD

Hi All
I recently did a playgroup shoot and created individual password protected galleries for each child. However when I click on "tell a friend" the email shows the correct username but states the password is PASSWORD. I can login to the galleries using the username and password set in A3 but would like to use the "tell a friend" email to send to the clients.
I know this was working correctly a couple of days ago, but checking previous galleries - same problem.
Anyone have any idea's ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

Hi Tony
Yes I created the mobileme galleries in A3, set a username and password for the galleries. Then when I select the "tell a friend" button it creates a mail message with a thumbnail of an image and user login details.
The username in the email is correct but the password is PASSWORD instead of the actual password that I have assigned to the mobileme gallery.

Tell a Friend emails sent using iPhoto--Subject Line

I published two separate albums to my gallery using iPhoto (each with different names and password protected with different user names and passwords and hidden on my gallery page.) I sent a tell a friend e-mail for each album to two different distribution lists (one to my side of the family, the other to my husband's side of the family.) I also sent each e-mail to both me and my son as part of each distribution list. My son and I each received the emails in Apple mail--on my iMac and his MacBook Pro. I used the SAME SUBJECT in the Subject line on both "tell a friend" emails for the two different albums, and all information in each email was correct when I sent the emails: Each had different album numbers in the link to the gallery page and the correct corresponding assigned username and password.
We received both emails which appeared fine when viewed. But once one album was accessed on the gallery page using one of the links, the text in the other email changed to the text in the other e-mail, including the username and password.
I tested this by resending the tell a friend emails using different subject lines and did not have the problem. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It is very slow and I can not find the way to customize the standard mail template.
There is no way to customize that template. If it does not suit you needs send a regular email with the URL to the gallery in it.
As far a slowness is concerned need more info on your setup. How much free space on the boot drive? How much memory? How many pictures in the library?
from the other user the template is somehow corrupted
Delete the Delete iPhoto preference file , com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in the User/Library/Preferences folder for that user, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Do the templates work if you try the Tell a Friend from the gallery online?

"Tell a Friend" email from MobileMe album - no images or formatting

When I use "tell a friend" from a MobileMe album, it usually calls up "mail" with fancy body text with images of the key album photo with links and a nice layout.
Now, when I use it, it just comes up with plain text as the email message. I don't know why or how I can change it back to the way it used to be.
I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the cmd+option launch and checking the last three boxes. Anything else I have missed out? I'm not using any email encryption software as well. Just Apple "mail".
Thanks,
Howie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your Mail preferences set for RTF formatting or just plain text? That might be the reason. Set it to RTF if it's not that already. Other than that try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.

IPhoto '09 MobileMe gallery "tell a friend" email not displaying password

It used to be when I clicked on the iPhoto MobileMe Gallery "Tell a Friend" button an email would open and have the username and password.
Now, it shows the username, but the password isn't displaying. Instead it reads PASSWORD.
What happened to make it do this?
How is a friend supposed to know the password if it doesn't display.

Could be a damaged database file in the library. Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

Launch iPhoto and try again.

"Tell a friend" email for web galleries- black on black for PC users

Whenever I send out an email to friends with info for a web gallery, everyone who uses a PC (most everyone I know) gets the email and the text is black on a black background and they can't read it. I have to add text to the email with the username and password. When I cc myself on the email and get it on my Mac, it's white text on black background.
What's going on here? It's been this way for 4 web galleries so far.

Dave:
Try using the Tell a Friend option in iPhoto's toolbar instead of the option of the online gallery. It will look like this except I've changed the font and color of the lower URL line which you can do with this method.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My email keeps saying the username or password is incorrect

My iphone keeps saying the username or password for "Gmail" is incorrect for my email. I tried changing it and it didn't work. What do I do?

Enter the correct user name and password.

Bug: 404 error for item link in 'Tell a Friend' email

When using {tag_tellafriend} in email campaigns, the email that is sent from BC to the 'friend' is dysfunctional - the link rendered by {tag_itemurl} is redirected by a 302 Found to /_System/SystemPages/Error404, which simulates a Page Not Found error (it doesn't actually return 404).
Those links are in the format: http://www.example.com/CampaignProcess.aspx?A=View&KID=203100&VID=45681759

Cool. Shouldn't {tag_tellafriend} be removed or disabled? Three years seems a long enough sunset period for a feature that hasn't worked since then.

Tell a Friend emails are blank

Windows Outlook users receive what looks like a blank email when sending them an invitation to view one of my MobileMe Gallery folders. The link is actually there but barely visible (white letters on light gray background). Mac users receiving the same invitation get the full picture and link. I have verified this with my work computer which is running Outlook 2007 on Windows XP.

If you don't like the new ways that iPhoto handles emailing then you can access the old way with a small change in how you work:
1. Drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Mail icon in the Dock.
or
2. Use the Photo browser in Mail - or any Media browser in the entire OS
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can then resize the image in the iPhoto Window

Finally, you can make a simple OS Service to to automate the procedure. For more on this have a read of this:

BCC with Tell a Friend?

When I want to "tell a friend" about a MobileMe Gallery in iPhoto 11 I click on the info button, then click the "tell a friend" button. It only shows the To: field and not a BCC: field.
How can I use the BCC: Feature with "tell a friend?"
Kevin

You can't. The iPhoto tell a friend doesn't use the Mail application to send emails. It uses it's own built in client for your MMe email account. Send a feature request to Apple via via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Tell a friend about a web page

I need to set up a link that lets a vistor send a tell a friend email from any given page within the site. Not neccessarrily through a module. Normally I would use a pop-up form and cgi script. What can I use in BC? (Other than just a "mailto" link)

As a note to be clear, that is currently the only way to add refer-a-friend, through a web form. The custom refer a friend form has been removed (existing forms will still work). Due to varius issues with its form process aspx as it lacked key elements the web form aspx as to prevent things like spam.

After installing iphoto11 tell a friend link gives problem on pc's

Hi there, after installing iPhoto11 I was confronted with 2 problems: first, when sending the tell a friend to my friends the one's with a pc received the email but without the link, friends with a mac no problem, second, in my gallery I've more alums than on my web page, how can I delete albums in my gallery? would be gratefull for help!!

#1 - does this happen with ALL of your PC recipients or just some? Although not a solution but a workaround try sending the Tell a Friend email from the online gallery with your browser. That has worked when the email from iPhoto didn't.
#2 - the additional albums could be carry overs from previous iPhoto versions that didn't get carried over into your library when converted to a new version.
Log into your online MMe account, https://www.me.com, and go to the Galleries section. There you can select a gallery and delete it.

Web Gallery, Tell a Friend, Mail

I was recently at a hotel, which required re-directed the web browser to a dedicated log-in site for the internet. While using Aperture, I attempted to "Tell a Friend" of a new Web Gallery. Instead of the usual link page for sending a Web Album notice ("You've been invited...", with the album link) to a friend as part of the Mail message, the send mail message when it opened in Mail was re-directed to this hotel login site. The Aperture application crashed and closed.
Now that I am home, whenever I try to send a "Tell a Friend" email from the Aperture application, the mail message shows the same hotel login in re-direction site, and then Aperture crashes.
Q: How do I get the default "Tell a Friend" link back when I try to send the email? There must be a default setting somewhere that needs to be re-set to the default link.

I did not see your original post, but would think it could have been resolved by purging the preferences file for A2. It would either be the com.apple.Aperture.plist at Home/Library/Preferences or possibly the Export preset file at Home/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Export Presets.plist. However I am not sure given that I have not experienced this issue.

EREC - tell a friend sub change

hey all, how do we change the subject of email from Tell a friend Service? ideas pls..
Rohit

Hello Rohit,
analog to the correspondences the eRec application uses the description (in tcode SMARTFORMS the field is labeled Meaning) of the smartform for the subject of the tell a friend email. So if you create your customer smartform for the tell a friend service and customized it in the IMG you can influence the subject be choosing the description you like.
If you need some more fancy stuff to be done you find the implementation in function module HRRCF_MDL_JOBS_TELL_A_FRIEND line 94.
Kind Regards

"Tell a Friend" movie title clipped and link missing

When I click "Tell a Friend" in iPhoto 9, the email opens up with the following:
I just published a new movie to my MobileMe Gallery that I'd like to share with you. Click the link below to check it out.
Jon
The upload is named Jon & Rachel Wedding. But it stops after Jon and no link is published.
I have used "Tell a Friend" on older movies uploads and it works correctly.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Oh, for this project I am using the iMac Core 2 Duo.

There are no ideas about this one.

Is there a history of "tell a friend"

I found this one album and I emailed it to my friend to see what he thought awhile ago. Now I forget what the album was..Anyways, I was wondering if there is a history of the albums or songs you sent to someone by using "tell a friend"

It only "remembers" the currently copied file - so, if you have since used the copy function on something else (or shutdown/restarted the Mac), the previously copied file is gone (unless you pasted it somewhere of course).
