Attach photos to an e-mail

Is it possible to attach a photo in an e-mail, instead of placing the photo into the e-mail. So when the recipient receives the e-mail the photo(s) is an attachment instead of part of the text in the e-mail?

Whether you add a photo within the body of a message or tack it onto the end it comes to the same thing: it's an attachment in both cases. What happens at the other end is down to the recipient's settings. In most cases their Mail application will be set to display photos; some people may have set it to show them only as an attached file; but in either case there is nothing you can do to affect this, it's entirely up to their settings. As said above, the only way to prevent the photos displaying if their settings have be set to do this is to zip them first.

How do I attach photos to an e-mail as an attachment

I am trying to attach a photo to an e-mail from my Yahoo Account, when I click on attachment it does not allow to access the iphotos folder.
I have looked at sending photos direct from iphotos by e-mail and it seems to only allow you to inclue the photographs in the body of the e-mail and not as an attachment??

Hello timbri,
Open iPhoto; select the photo you want to attach, then simply drag it onto the e-mail screen. NOTE: You may have to move your iPhoto window a little in order to expose a portion of your mail screen, but as long as there's a llittle screen showing, you can drop your photo there. You should also see a drop-down menu allowing you to choose the size of the photo frame being sent. I've sent as many as four pix this way. I have os x 10.6.8, so I hope this works for you.

Attaching photos as icons in mail

Is it possible to set up mail to attach photos and pdf's as icons automatically? It is a real pain to have to convert each one individually.
Martin

Hello Martin.
Not without a 3rd party plugin for Mail.
You do know this has no effect whatsoever on how the attachments appear when the message is opened by the recipient?
When selecting View as Icon for an attachment that appears inline or viewed in place within the body of the message and sending it this way to a Mail.app user, the attachment will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient.
Unless you use HTML with embedded images or objects in the message body, the sender of a message has no control over how attachments appear when the message is opened by the recipient. This is determined by the recipient's email client.

I fail to attach photos to my e-mails tried another browser it is ok ?

Hi.
1st keep in mind that iCloud storage is different from photo stream storage, so you may not have backed up your iPhone as you said since you have no iCloud Storage but still there is a possibility that they are in photo stream storage. Apart from that I can only tell you that the main thing is somehow have the iPhone plugged in into a computer so you can import all pictures but if the computer does not see the device i´m afraid that you may not recover the pictures.

I am trying to attach photos in an e-mail (Gmail), however I can't access yesterday's or todays photos which were downloaded from the iphone to iphoto, and added to a new album. I can access all photos from all days previous to yesterday. Why? I

I am not able to access today's or yesterday's photos in the Attachment box when trying to e-mail photos using Gmail. I am using a new Mac Book Pro, photos from my iPhone, and download to iPhoto. All photos previous to yesterday are accessible. This is a recurring issue. Any help here?

The photos is question don't show up in the Last Import smart album?
In the Event mode set View ➙ Sort Events ➙ By Date ➙ Descending. That way the newest Events will be at the top of the window. Do you see the photos in the last couple of events?
If no to all of the above try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Since I upgraded to 5.0, I can't attach photos to my e-mails. What's up with that?

Firefox no longer allows me to attach photographs in any application. I had no problem until I upgraded.

The home button has by default moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.
If you can not find it there, you can use the method in the following link to restore the default toolbar set, this will add the home button - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

Can't get past the library icon when trying to attach photos

When I try to attach photos in an e-mail application (other than the mac mail program) I click "attach" then select "pictures", then the library icon appears but there is no list of the photos contained in the library. I have tried "control-click. to open this but it doesn't work. I've been using Macs since my first Classic in the late 80's but I can't figure this one. ANy help? Thanks.

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you're using a cocoa browser like Safari, then you can drag the pic from the iPhoto Window to the attach window. Or you can create a quick media browser using Automator.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Unable to attach photos

When trying to attach photos to an e-mail, once a selected photo is identified, it immediately locks my computer and doesn't allow me to load. I have to restart each time and still can't get a photo to upload.

Try connecting phone in Mass Media mode, drag a photo onto your computer and see if you can attach that to an email ?
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

How can I attach multiple photos to an e-mail

I would like to attach multiple photos which are already in the photos file on my ipad to e-mails I am sending from the ipad. Is there a place in the e-mail where you can attach photos. The only way I have found to do it is to send from inside the photos file but can only attach one per e-mail. Any suggestions?

You must email the photos from within the photos app.
You can select up to 5 photos to email at a time. While you are in thumbnail view in the photos app - tap the arrow icon in the uper right corner. Then tap on up to 5 photos in order to select them. Tap the Share button in the upper left corner and then select - email

Attaching photos to Apple Mail - error when attaching multiple files

Hello,
My iPhoto just recently started giving me an error whenever I try to attach multiple files to Apple Mail. The error says:
"Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of
content of outgoing message id 321072192.
Invalid index."
The only option allowed is to cancel. When I look at my Apple Mail it has created a message with the first selected photo attached, but none of the other photos are there. Any ideas of how to correct this? Is this an email client issue?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This is a problem between iPhoto 4 and 10.5.
The workaround is to use the Photo Browser on the new Message Window in Mail, just drag the pic over from there:

When I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos.

So starting recently (last couple of months) when I want to attach a photo to my e-mail I can no longer find my iPhoto library using open - media - photos. There's nothing there, it's just completely blank, when in the past my whole iPhoto library would show up with thumbnails and I could just choose the pic to attach. Now I have to drag the photos I want from iPhoto onto the desktop and then I can find them there to attach to my e-mail. How can I get my iPhoto library to show back up the simple way when I want to attach photos? I've been having this problem attaching photos in hotmail or yahoo.

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

How can I get to see attached video, How can I get to see attached photos sent from my iPad in a normal browser mail?

Let me elaborate: I sent a photo from the mail app my iPad has and I sent it to myself. When I receive the mail I get to see the attached photo on the mail app but when I get to look it on a normal browser FROM the iPad I doesn't appear. However when I do get to see the mail from a browser from any other device I can get to see the photo. Please help!!

Whoever provides you web access to your email may suppress photo viewing on mobile devices. You should check with them. (E.g., ask Google if it's Gmail, ask your ISP if it's your ISP's webmail viewer, etc.)

How can I attach photos to Mail as a thumbnail?

When I attach photos or PDF documents containing photos, to a mail message, the whole photo appears as part of the message. This provides problems at the recipient end as it can take a long time for the mail message to fully open.
What I want is to be able to attach a photo as a thumbnail which can then be opened by the recipient at a convenient time.
I have searched through Preferences and online help but to no avail. Does anyone know if this can be done and how?

The Mail.app displays all image/photo type attachments and smaller PDF attachments (1 page only) inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default for sent and received messages.
Depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which you have no control over.
And the same is true in reverse.
For example, such attachments for a Windows Outlook or Outlook Express user appear as attached files only (not shown inline or viewed in place within the body of the message) before and when sending the message but when received by a Mail.app user, the attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default when the message is opened regardless.
You can control-click on an inline or viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but such attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default regardless when opened by a Mail.app recipient.
All this depends on the recipient's email client. The only way to prevent this going either direction is for the sender to archive all attachments as a zip file attachment.

Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.
