Attaching photos from iPhoto to Hotmail

New to Mac, I'm trying to send a couple of photos as attachments using my Hotmail account. When I follow through the folders/directories, I seem to end up loading the entire photo library. I must be doing something wrong but can't see what. Can anyone help please?

HI,
Drag the images you want to upload to your Desktop. Then try uploading.
Also, make sure they are .jpg format.

How to attach photo (from Iphoto) to i.e. email or facebook?? cannot access Iphoto library...

Hi...
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Select which email address you want to use to share photos on Facebook or email from the pop up menu next to: Default email reader:
Launch iPhoto. Select the photo then from the iPhoto menu bar click Share > Email or Share > Facebook.

Attaching photos from iPhoto to gmail account

This may not be an iPhoto issue and rather an email issue but since I do not know how to fix the problem maybe someone here will....
When I attach a photo from iPhoto and send it via my gmail account and the receiver opens the attachment the picture is massive and cannot be seen in one screen. You have to scroll to see the entire picture but you are never able to see the entire thing at once. How do I get the picture to open the size of the current screen and no larger?
Thanks, KL

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Read TD's treatise on file access for use outside of iPhoto.
That being said I believe there's a GMail plugin available: Digg - iPhoto Plugin: iPhoto2Gmail. You can give it a try.
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 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.

Attaching photos from iPhoto

Each time I attempt to attach a photo to an email message I am ready to tear out my scarce hair. I select iPhoto Library, but when trying to track down the photo, I get only "01" "02" etcetera. If I click on one of these numbers, I get even more numbers. Aside from sending photos via iPhoto, is there a simple way to find the photo I am seeking?
TIA
PB 1.5 17" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Ralphie,
Are you using iPhoto 5 or iPhoto 6? iPhoto 5 would have those numbers (dates) but not iPhoto 6.
Anyway, you open iPhoto, select an image, then hit the email icon in the toolbar.
You must first have selected your email client in iPhoto's preferences.
If you don't use an email client and use a web interface instead, like google mail, yahoo, mail or thunderbird, then you must export the image to the desktop, then navigate to your desktop with the web software and choose the image to upload.

How to attach photo from iPhoto to an email?

Hello,
New to iMac, iPhoto etc. Is there a way to attach a photo to an email from iPhoto? If I click on iPhoto Library after clicking "attach" in an email, it doesn't give me access to the actual pictures...
Thanks!

Don't click on the iPhoto Library. Have a look at the first one of these:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: 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. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Attaching photos from iPhoto Library

When I try to attach photos to an email they do not come up in the iPhoto library folder.
Also, when I try to edit or drag a photo to my desk top, it won't. With the edit it just give me a circle with "!" and with the drag and drop to desk top it just doesn't. Help please!!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
Why are you looking for files in the iPhoto Library Folder?

Attaching photos from iphoto in an email

I have organized my photos in iphoto so that I can find the photos I want easily. However, when I try to send photos as attachments in an email, the photos are organized by date. I have tried renaming my photos in iphoto, but when I try to send attachments, the new names to not appear, and I have to guess the number (P1010026_2.jpg). Why do my folders not appear the same in the iphoto program and in the Finder window? Is there any way that I can get these to match so that it is easier to find my photos for attachments?

why don't you select the photo(s) in iphoto , then Share-email ?
or you can select them & drag to the open message window. Use F9 to find the message window if it's not visible - drag the photos over it until it opens, then let go the mouse button.

Attaching photos from iPhoto 7.1.2 to Entourage/Office 08

In iPhoto I have chosen Entourage as my email application for mailing pictures. After I installed Office 08 I encountered a problem: When choosing not to have titles and comments, the chosen pictures do not attach to the new email, and iPhoto locks/does not respond. I had to force quit iPhoto and restart it. If I leave the checkmarks for titles and comments, it works fine. I have tried it several times with the same result, and a friend with the same applications and versions has experienced the same problem. Is this a iPhoto 7.1.2 problem or is it Microsoft/Entourage? I have been sending photos this way for several years without a problem.

I have not heard of this but then not many people are still on 7.1.2 and using Office '08 - I would first suggest that you get up to date to iPhoto version 7.1.4 - if that does not help leave the checkmarks for titles and comments and report the problem to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback and to Microsoft

Cannot email photos from iPhoto after upgrade to 10.8

After upgrading to 10.8, I have not been able to successfully eamil photos from iPhoto. I can select the photos, click the email icon, and have Mail open with the photos attached (as expected). But the send button is grayed out, and the newly created message window cannot be closed. To get rid of the unsendable email, I have to quit or force shut down Mail, then reopen Mail and manually delete the email from Drafts.
Has anyone else run into this issue?

As Larry suggested go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and make sure your email account information is correct. If you joined iCloud that is a must.

Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

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)
Re: I am having trouble e-mailing from iPhoto the message I get is E-mail server didn't recognise your username/password combination
Re: Mac's new Photos app is not letting me email

Emailing photos from iphoto

How do I send photos from iphoto as an attachment rather than having them embedded in the email?

You will have to export the to the desktop and use the Attachment feature of Mail to add them. Read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access for use outside of iPhoto.
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.

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.

Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
