Add To iPhoto in Mail fails for iPhone photos sent in multiple emails

Someone takes six photos with an iPhone and emails them to you.
You get 6 emails. Each one has a photo.jpg image attached.
You click the SAVE pop-down menu in the Mail message and choose Save To iPhoto. The photo is imported into iPhoto. You delete that email and do the same thing with the second email with the second photo...
BUT, somewhere the Mail-iPhoto smartness turns dumb, as the rest of the photos will not show up in iPhoto. (This may have something to do with the fact that the iPhone sends each photo with the attachment name of photo.jpg and somehow Mail or iPhoto think that photo has already been added to iPhoto).
I was having this problem with photos emailed to me by iPhone users and tested it myself.
Sure enough, after the first photo.jpg attachment is imported all subsequent Add To iPhoto operations of iPhone sent images fail... even if the photos have been sent from separate iPhones from separate email addresses.
All the attachments are kept by Mail in uniquely numbered folders in the attachments folder of my receiving email account in Library/Mail but since each attachments is named photo.jpg that seems to throw off iPhoto OR Mail (because even the quick progress update of "Adding photo to iPhoto" does not show up on these attempts).
I checked if quitting and restarting Mail fixed allowed the second photo to be added to iPhoto but it did not. Quitting iPhoto after EACH import/Add To iPhoto operation allowed each photo to be added into iPhoto.
This may have to do with the iPhoto bugs handling large libraries (I have 19000 images in it) like the spinning wheel of Names window after imports, etc.
Just sharing if others have the same experience sending 3 iPhone photos by email to themselves and seeing if all can be added to iPhoto from Mail. Thanks.

Yes it is a bug
Report to apple. iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
You can work around BR saving to the desktop and importing or opening in quick view, expanding to full screen and saving to iPhoto

  • Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why ?

    Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why ?
    This has been a very common question I have seen relatedt to Database mail and I thought will post here so if you run into this issue, it could be due to one of the following and also have mentioned below how to get around them. Bottom line is datbase mail works fine with SQL Agent jobs and maintenace plans in SP1 on all platforms.
    1. If you see this on 64 bit platform and on RTM build, this is a bug that is addressed in SP1.
    2. If you see the below error message, it is known issue and this is because of design that requires SQL Agent to restart, if SQL Agent was started before enabling databasemail and setting a new profile. We are evaluating to change this design of not requiring to restart agent for our future release.
    Re: 264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established
    This problem will go away after restarting SQL Server Agent in this case. Thanks,

    This may be related to the fact that DBMail, by default, shuts itself down after 10 minutes of inactivty.  If the mail service isn't running, you won't be able to queue up any mail messages.
    There may be a built-in mechanism for addressing this problem, but I found that I can detect this situation and start the mail listener before sending db mail.  I use the following in stored procs that need to send email.
    You could increase the inactivity period for db mail shutdown from 600 seconds to some larger value.  It might not make sense to do so, since shutting it down releases its resources back to teh system; if your SQL server only sneds mail infrequently, it might be better to start the mail listener on demand.  Someone with more experience than I might want to add their two cents' worth.  :-)
    /* Check the mail engine. Start the service if is is stopped         */
    /* -- the DB Mail engine shuts down after 10 minutes (of inactivity) */
    /* -- this setting can be changed, but we probably don't need to.    */

    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM msdb.sys.service_queues

  • How can i add image on my mail siganature on iphone

    hi,
           how can i add image on my mail siganature on iphone.

    I do not know if this will work but you can try. Place the image you want on a storage site like Imageshack or Photobucket. Then make a link to it in your signature using (img_src="put the url of your image here"). This may work at least when you have an active data connection - wifi or cellular

    I am trying to setup receiving email from my apple email address on my iphone 4.

    If so, this is not needed. Use the MobileMe account preset and the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be set up automatically.

  • I need a multiple message voice mail app for Iphone 4S that also provides an auto-attendant, e.g the caller can dial 1 for one of business's or 2 for the other. Each of these options will need to have a different voice mail greeting. Help please?

    There are no alternative voicemail apps - the core functionality of the phone can not be replaced.
    You'll have to look for an external service, that can then forward calls for each caller onto the correct phone.
    At our business we use Voipfone.co.uk which allows multiple phone lines to come into one VOIP account.

  • Can't Add to iPhoto from Mail - function in Mail.app broken?

    I did try several Emails with different .jpg images attached, the option "Add to iPhoto" is visible in the pulldown menue (click "Safe" next to Quick Look), one can select it, but nothing happens.
    No difference if iPhoto is open or not. I did do a permissions repair on the iPhoto library (9.4.1), but no change.
    My system is at 10.8.2 with the recent supplement.
    I checked the Console for error log entries, but could not locate something fitting.
    Any suggestion how to fix? Or is it a bug?

  • Mailing directly from iPhoto creates .txt attachments for each photo

    When I am in iPhoto, and I mail several pictures directly from iPhoto using Apple Mail, the resulting message gets sent with a .txt attachment (presumably with the photo file name) in between each photo. So if there are 30 photos, there will also be an additional 30 text attachments.
    This is extremely annoying and confusing for the recipients, is there anyway of stopping this? I did deselect the option to send the titles and comments, so I have no idea why it is inserting these extra text attachments.

    I tried toggling that option and testing it, and it still showed the extra .txt attachments. I looked at the files, and they are blank 4k attachments. Now if I add comments between the pictures, this text shows up in these attachments.
    I noticed that in iPhoto, if you email directly using the Email button there, and deselect comments and titles, the pictures are inserted into the message with a few blank lines of text in between. When the mail is sent these blank lines are converted into text attachments.
    I did an experiment and sent an email by manually attaching pictures in Mail, and ensuring there was no spaces or text in between them, and it worked. No text attachments. The moment I inserted some text or even blank lines between the photos in the message, it sent these as additional text attachments.
    I tried switching to RTF format messages instead of Plain Text (which I use by default), and it still did the same thing.
    I guess it's just how Mail always wants to put the picture in the body of the message, rather than just attach it to the message without displaying it on the screen... Is there a way to turn this automatic display of attachments off when composing?

  • Best E-Mail Provider For iPhone

    What is the best email provider for iPhone. I have used hotmail for a long time, but I know that's not a good one to use with the iPhone, so I'm looking to start a new email account. Is there one email provider that I should clearly go with?

    The free Yahoo account provided for iPhone customers, which can be accessed as a standard IMAP or Push-IMAP account - with account settings available on the iPhone to switch between the two protocols, cannot be accessed with an email client on your computer - such as with Outlook or Outlook Express.
    You can access a Gmail account as an IMAP account with an email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's Mail client - keeping the account's server stored mailboxes synchronized between the email client used on your computer to access the account and with the iPhone's Mail client.
    A Push-IMAP account provides for not having to check the account's incoming mail server for new messages but IMO, not worth having if I can't access the account with an email client on my computer also.

  • COX Mail setup for Iphone 3GS

    Has any set up mail on Iphone 3GS with a COX account with success. Wireless carrier is AT&T. If so I sure could use some help!!
    Thanks

    I tried to follow these instructions for connecting my iPhone 3GS to my Cox email account (the East region) with this page from Cox:
    http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=158115c0-571b- 4cad-a21d-28e74c663906
    I could not get incoming or outgoing mail to work as shown in the article; although I could save the settings, when I tried to access the mailbox I got "failure to connect" error messages.
    Just for kicks, instead of entering my full email address for the *incoming mail server* and *outgoing mail server* settings (e.g. [email protected]) as the Cox article displays, I entered my email address without the @ symbol and domain, just joeblow for both of those settings.
    Eureka, that worked. I found that it worked being connected to my home wifi, and when connected without wifi over the regular cellular network and the 3G network.
    So far, so good. I'll keep trying this for a day or two, and if it still works I'll post full instructions and also provide a comment to Cox so they can provide this suggestion as well. I'm sure these settings worked for Cox at one time, so I'm not sure why they didn't seem to work for me.

  • Are there Yahoo! Mail badges for iPhone 4?

    I just got an iPhone 4 and configured my Yahoo account to receive mails on my iPhone. Ever since, I've had the following issues:
    1. When I get a new email message, a sound can be heard, but in those cases I don't hear the ding sound, I'm unable to realise I got a new email because...
    2. Whenever a new email is received, there is no badge displayed on the blocked iPhone screen (I mean, there is nothing similar to the badges displayed when getting a new mention on the Twitter for iPhone app or the Facebook for iPhone app).
    3. The unread messages count on the "Mail" badge is incorrect. Even if I tap the mail icon, and the new emails received are downloaded but unread, the total number of unread emails won't change.
    As for my settings, I have the push option on, and even the "Fetch every 15 minutes" option is checked, although Yahoo Mail is not supposed to depend on that... Honestly, it's impractical having to tap the "mail" icon in order to see if I got new emails, just because it's visually unreliable and even impossible to be sure that you got new messages.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!!

    Apple will supposedly have 'bumper's on hand that day. I'm not sure I like the bumper as I would prefer a full protective case. Our local mall has a kiosk vendor who has the best selection of iPhone cases and I stopped by yesterday and he said he'd have iPhone 4 cases in stock by Wednesday. You might want to check some of the Kiosk's in your area to see if they'll have any.
    I'm not sure about screen protectors. When I spoke with someone from Apple, they said they don't recommend them on the new phone. The glass is supposely much less prone to smudges and that's why I use one on my 3G. I hate to wipe smudges off non-stop. But, the Kiosk guy told me he'd have screen protectors in stock as well........

  • Print to pdf -- add to iPhotos has suddenly failed - with no error message

    It appears to work, the workflow at the left of the finder appears as usual, and iphoto opens, but nothing is imported.
    It doesn't work from address book or from Preview. (I have always used address book in the past). I don't know when it stopped working, as I don't do it very often.
    It still works on laptop (new, but running same OS).

    MaryArthur:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Another user just reported the same problem. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. Also download and reapply the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.
    Next open your text editor, type a few lines and run the workflow from there. Be sure you can see the workflow window that comes up asking you to name a new album for the files or select an existing one. It doesn't always come to the front of the other windows, only iPhoto's window. So while the workflow is running hide all the windows but iPhoto's.
    If the above doesn't work, log into another account on your Mac and try from there. If you don't have another account it's a good thing to have as it's an excellent troubleshooting tool. Create a non-administrative account with no 3rd party enhancements. If the workflow works there your primary account is causing the problem. It might be another preference file other than iPhoto's. You can determine if that's the problem by the following:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
    4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    5 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
    6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.

  • How can I specify a default directory on my external drive, for iPhone photos to be imported to on Macbook Air?

    I use both a PC as well as my Macbook Air and when I sync my iPhone with my PC (I connect the phone to PC) my phone (or is it my computer)? knows to import my photos and videos to a specific directory/folder on my external hard drive (I am able to tell my PC which folder to import my photos and videos to). For example, it imports all photos and videos to the external drive and organises the photos and videos by date (it creates a separate folder for each date the photos/videos were taken; I had to tell my PC to import to the default directory (external drive) when I did this for the first time, and it now creates a new folder for each date which is useful for keeping photos organised, etc. 
    I'd like to be able to do the same thing, using my Macbook Air, i.e., when I connect my iPhone to the Macbook air, I want my Macbook Air to know to import my photos to my external hard drive; is this possible? I am not familiar with the photo programmes on the Macbook air, but to be honest, I don't want to use them for this; I just want my photos and videos on my iPhone to import to the same folder when I use my Macbook air to sync, as when I use my PC to sync  (I use my PC at work and have my Macbook at home). I'd like to be able to sync my phone when at home and not have to wait till I get to work, etc.
    Many thanks for any help you can provide...
