Attaching photos that aren't embedded

I read another discussion about the embedding of photos from iPhoto in emails and did as suggested but the photos are still arriving at a local authority system as bitmaps and therefore useless for the putpose to which they are intended.

yes I can edit, it was suggested that it was because I had cropped that this was happening
Then I have no idea, sorry. The only way I can get iPhoto to attach empty iPHoto photos files with the size zero, is when the original images are missing from the iPhoto library. But if you can edit your iPhoto images, the originals must be there.
or drag usually after saving to desk top.
Are the photos you save to the Desktop o.k.?
Can you open them in Preview?

Find photos that aren't shared

Aperture photo sharing (via iCloud) is easy to setup but it seems really difficult to maintain.
- it's well-established, it seems, that there is no way to have shared photos automatically pick up subsequent edits.
- not all the photos I selected to share actually got shared. I can't just select the same set to be shared, because then duplicate images of the ones already shared will be added. Is there a way to find photos that are in a given album/project but not shared? At least that way I can just re-add the ones that, for whatever reason, didn't make it the first time (though, it does seem like some photos stubbornly refuse to be shared).
I tried creating a smart album based on photos in a given project but not in project path "icloud" (the shared photos indicate they are in project path "icloud"), but that didn't work. Which makes sense, since they are basically separate photos.
Since it seems shared photos are treated as separate copies in their own "project" I don't think there is a way to figure out which photos are not already shared, unfortunately.
All my photos are jpgs. Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.9.2.

Are you asking about photos in shared Photo streams or about My Photo Stream?
Photos that have been shared successfully are not marked in a special way. The only way to mark them in your Aperture library would be to manually tag them. When browsing the Shared Stream, use the "Show in Library" button, to show the original in your Aperture library. Then add a keyword, or flag, or coulour label it, so you can set up a filter to exclude it.

Photos that aren't mine are in my iPhoto app.

Recently I went on a vacation with other iPhone users. While uploading my photos from the trip to my mac (via my digital camera) I noticed that I had someone else's albums in my events section of iPhoto. This person was on the trip with me and said her photos weren't syncing with her iPad. Why are they on my computer now? If i delete them, will they delete from her device? Can she see my photos as well? I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to this kind of problem. I also would like to prevent it from happening in the future.

No way to know with details
what version of iphoto? Of the OS? where exactly do you see her photos in iPhoto?
One guess is that you have subscribed to a shared photo stream of hers
Another is that she logged into your iCloud account on her phone and MyPhotoStream is downloading to you Mac
There are other possibliites but unless you provide details no one can tell or explain how to spot it

70 photos that aren't there, but iPhoto and Bridge say they are

I have an iPhone (first gen) that has a problem. When I plug the iPhone into the computer that it always syncs with, I am unable to get the photos to display correctly in iPhoto.
The computer thinks there are 70 photos on the iPhone that are no longer on the phone.
Both iPhoto and Adobe Bridge report the photos as being on the iPhone. However, those photos are not there. And can't be downloaded or deleted.
But when I plug the same iPhone into a different machine, I see the correct photos and can delete them correctly.
I'm sure there's just some plist that has to be deleted, but I don't know what.

Hi Mary,
Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
Also, make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the cable that came with it. Then disconnect any other USB devices.
Do the photos show up in the Image Capture? You can find Image Capture in the Applications folder, just launch Finder and click Go(top menu bar)> Applications> Image Capture.
If they don't try rebuilding the iPhoto library as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

Synchronize Folder problem - LR finds missing photos that aren't missing

A bit of background:
I decided to dive in and clean up a big 40K catalog I have. This involved:
Moving images around
Creating new folders
Renaming existing folders
Renaming all photos
All of this was done within LR to avoid problems. But now, everything is working fine, LR does not complain that there are missing photos EXCEPT when I try to synchronize a folder.
The strange this is there is no question mark on the images and when I use the Find Missing Photos, LR tells me that there are no missing photos.
But when I try to synchronize a folder (any), it finds all the images as new images and suggests to remove the missing photos (both matching the exact number of images). Obviously I don't want to do that and loose my edits...
I found some information here, it seems to be an old bug but no solutions work for me... I really don't want to go back and redo all this work. Is there a magic trick?
Thanks!

Thanks but this a completely different problem. You are referring to the "Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separated photos" setting that I have unchecked purposely and I do not shoot RAW + Jpeg anyways.
Your issue is a normal behavior. LR assumes that Jpeg+RAW shooters will only required the RAW to be imported in LR unless you change that setting.
My problem was a very specific instance where the volume name did not match case with the folder names in LR. As soon as I fixed that, it went back to normal.

Unable to attach photo in iPhoto library using gmail in Safari

I am unable to attach a photo that is in the iphoto library when I am sending an email from my gmail account in Safari. The way it should work is to go to Compose new emai, then click on attach file which opens a window to navigate to the photos folder. Inside that folder is a iphoto library which has the photo I want to send. It is not possible to open the library and choose the photo! Instead it tries to attach the entire library! I have no problem attaching photos that are in folders in the photos folder.
I know Ican open the photos folder and find the picture and drag it to the message. What I want to do is be able to use the attach file dialogue window. Thanks!!!

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click Details then remove all Google related data.
Same for Jimdo.
Then press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try Gmail or Jimdo.
If that didn't help ..
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try Gmail to test.

How can I transfer photos from a 4S to a 5S that aren't stored in iCloud?

Not sure if this is the right section, so advanced apologies if not.
I'm due to swap from a 4S to a 5S and have so e pictures that aren't in iCloud (taken on older software versions pre iCloud).
Is there anyway to transfer these via the handsets, or will I need to do it via laptop / PC?
Thanks.

Did you actually set up the iPad by restoring from a back up of the phone.
My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

My daugther' iphone id under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id. Wife now has an ipad and looking at using the existing id for set up? Would like to establish new id for daughter and not lose or share music/photos?

My daugther' iphone apple id is under my wife's email and now all music and pictures are attached to that id. My wife now has an ipad and I am looking at using the existing id during set up? Thus, I would like to establish new apple id for daughter, associated to her email account, however I do not want to lose or share her music/photos, nor share with my wife's id. Is this possible, or is it best just to establish a new id for my wife, and then change the email address associated with the existing apple id?

well if you establish a new apple id for your wife that would be best unless you email all of the existing photos to your email and then when you have established a new id then you log into your email on the new id and save all of your pics onto it by pressing on tthe pic for about 5-8 seconds then options will come up and you press the save to my album ..as for the music if you can copy and paste, through computer, the songs then awesome!

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: 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. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(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/ Aperture.
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/ Aperture 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 Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

On my iphone 5s, in "photos" when I touch to enlarge, random new photos taken with 5s appear as old photos taken with 4 years ago - that aren't even on the laptop that I plug into. How do I correct this?

On my iphone 5s, in "photos" when I touch to enlarge, random new photos are showing as old photos. For example, let's say I'm looking in an album at a photo of a dog I took today. If I touch to enlarge- that photo of a dog is suddenly a photo of a family member taken three years ago (on my old iphone 4). This is random and has happened to about a dozen photos. This has caused me to accidently delete new photos thinking they were old ones until I figured out this was some sort of glitch. The old photos that are posing as new photos aren't even on my laptop that I plug into - they've been on my external hard drive for awhile so I don't even know how they're linking! Any suggestions??

I've tried both ways. My Computer locates the device but doesn't see the old photos, only listing the new photos.
I no longer have the iphone3; I just transferred the photos from the 3 to the 4.
Was there a format change or file type change or did the transfer process create something different? I can still see and access the old photos if I go to that album on the phone. But that's the only place where I can see them or access them.

Using Pictures in iMovie That AREN'T In iPhoto/Aperture/Photo Booth?

Hey,
I was wondering if I could import photos into iMovie to use in projects that aren't in iPhoto, Aperture, or Photo Booth. These are my only options to choose from when I click on the camera button to add photos. And you can't import photos into iMovie, just videos. There are several projects I'm working on that use pictures that I don't really want to keep in iPhoto. If I can't add photos from Finder, then I have another question. Say I import the pictures I want into iPhoto, then add them to my iMovie project. If I then delete them from iPhoto, will that affect my project? Thanks!
Kate

What's going on?
Can demonstrate what I do but cannot diagnose your problem without amplifying information. For instance, to which "iMovie window" are you dropping photos? Since photos are stored directly to the named_Project package, they can only be added to a Project and not to an Event (if that is what you are trying to do).

Cannot attach photos using Yahoo mail ... always could before your last upgrade. that seems like a downgrade to me.

I can no longer attach photos of docs using yahoo mail since new upgrade. why not and what can I do to fix this. attachments are a very integral part of the e-mail functionality. what have you guys done? how is this fixed?

From iPhoto. I simply took a PDF and saved it to iPhoto as a photo and then sent it as an embedded "photo" that was my document. Since changing to Lion, I cannot do it this way. Help!

I used to send embedded documents rather than as an attachmentfrom iPhoto. I simply took a PDF and saved it to iPhoto as a photo and then sent it as an embedded "photo" that was my document. Since changing to Lion, I cannot do it this way. Help!

I found the solution on another post by user rbii:
You can add this using Automator:
- Run automator, select File->New, chose Print Plugin
- From the PDFs part of the library drag "Render PDF Pages as Images" to the workflow on the right, set resolution to 200.
- From the Photos part of the library drag "Import Files into iPhoto" to the workflow section.
- Save the workflow
That should get you back this feature."
Save the workflow as "Save PDF to iPhoto" and you'll get that option back on the list. Hope this helps!

There are photos on my iPhone camera roll that aren't mine. Has my security been compromised? How is this possible?

Hi guys,
In the last week two photographs have appeared on my iPhone camera roll and the subsequently my photo stream, of which I have not taken or anyone else could not have possibly taken with my phone. The latest one, found this evening as my most recent photo, is of a man on an aeroplane.
I'm a bit spooked here for a couple of reasons:
1. Have I been hacked and the photos are the least of my worries?
2. Can this person/persons see my photographs?
I've used iPhoto on my mac to check the location of the photographs taken using the info facility; unfortunately the location is deemed 'unknown'.
I would love anyone's take on this and would appreciate someone from apple responding to this issue directly as it's clearly a potentially huge problem for iOS and mac users.
I've already taken the measure of changing my iCloud password but all the same would like some feedback here.
Thanks all,
Snoop84

I write on this topic because I have an almost same incident.
Back in 2009, and this is important because there was no icloud and photo streams at that time, I found on the camera roll of my iphone 3G photos that do not belong to me!
I try to clarify this, and everybody reacted as I was crazy or had no idea about computers, phones etc. I wrote in a technology forum and got similar reactions. In fact I am a more than average experienced pc and phone user. I could also guarantee that nobody touched my phone.
The only explanation I had is that the photos were transferred through a wireless network in a cafe on my phone through some strange leak. But they were indeed not mine.
There are more than 10 photos of a woman (pretty normal photos, bad quality selfies etc, no naked guys) of a guy making some measurements in an apartment, of an IKEA furtinure (probably for the apartment before) etc. etc. Pretty realistic photos, by no means downloaded from the internet.
And nothing to do with me!
I imported some of them in iPhoto and checked the location. Some of them were taken in Munich (where I live), one (of the new apartment) very close to the cafe I was connected and, interestingly, some (the selfies of the woman) in Palo Alto, CA.
I still do not know what that could be, I still have the photos but unfortunately not the phone anymore.
I would be more than happy to hear that there was this or the other leak at that time, but still haven't found any convincing answer on the internet.
