Attaching photos to discussions

How do I attach photos in here? Been battling with this for a few days now. Sound like a daft question, probably is.:)

Hi Obi2ice!
To post an image in  Discussions, create a Screen Shot of the image you wish to post.
Upload the image to an online storage facility, like one of these linked to below.
Flickr
ImageShack
PhotoBucket
PICVAULT
Twango
Then use HTML formatting, to insert the URL of the location.
Use this format <img src="Insert URL Here">
Post the resulting line of text.
Keep the images small, and unobtrusive, when possible.
You can also just post a Link/URL, to the image location, using this format:
<a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
Or use Skitch.
Quoted from the Sktch website:
"Skitch.com is a webservice that works hand in hand with our application Skitch to give you 1-click uploading of images for fast and fun image sharing.

  • Cant attach photos to email after "upgrade" to Photos...why?

    HI,
    So recently Apple updated (hijacked) my iPhoto app on my computer with their "new and improved" Photos software.  While is good to have some long needed features like a useful file system, I seem to have lost some core functionality.  I use Outlook as part of Office for Mac and can no long attach photos to emails.  Yes, I know Apple and Microsoft hate each other and neglect if not sabatoge each other's stuff, but attaching a photo/image to Outlook email seems to be basic functionality Apple left out. 
    PLease discuss this and let me know if I'm missing something simple or how I might be able to fix this major problem.  Otherwise how do I downgrade my software to the last iPhoto version so I can once again send an image over email.
    i Realize that Apple may not have done this intentionally, but I never volunteered to be a beta tester for their new software.  Apple is niave if they think people don't use MS Office on Macs.  BTW, I have 3ipads, 3 macs, 2iphones and just purchased 4 watches...I hope there is an easy fix for this.
    THanks!
    Jeff

    Nothing was hijacked. iPhoto is still on your Mac in the Applications folder. It was just replaced in the Dock with Photos during the 10.10.3 installation.  If you were running iPhoto 9.6.1 you can still use it with your iPhoto Library.
    It's MS's responsibility to update Outlook so it can work with Yosemite and Photos, not Apple's  The same goes for all of the may other applications. It's the developers of those apps that must do the job. So don't blame Apple for their dropping the ball.
    And remember upgrading to Yosemite was entirely voluntary on your part.
    If you don't have iPhoto 9.6.1 then you can get it by following Terence Devlin's method in this post:

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Cant attach photos to gmail

    first post here for me- i'm struggling to work out how to attach photos to to my composed gmail messages. I'm clicking on 'attach file' then 'choose file' but cant find any where amongst my documents, files and applications etc my photo libary from which to choose my photos.
    I've tried bringing up iphoto, select a photo and drag/droping it onto the composed gmail message but that doesn't work either..
    I know its got to be some simple way but I can't find it?
    help...

    Greetings,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    The simply way only works if you use Mail to send your emails, not a webmail interface like gmail.com. You know, you can setup Gmail as a POP account in Mail. Then just choose the picture in iPhoto and click the Email button.
    However, if you wish to continue to use the webmail interface (or another email app like Eudora) then you must choose the picture in iPhoto and choose to Share -> Export. Choose your desktop and I suggest that you scale large images to no more than 640 along the largest dimension. With Gmail, this is not such an issue, but the reader still has to download it. Then once it is on your desktop, you can attach it using the Choose method you describe. Then you can delete the file from you desktop after you send the email.
    There is not advisable way to get the actual photo from where iPhoto stores it other than exporting it as noted.

  • Attaching photos in mail

    Is there a way to attach photos in email as an ATTACHMENT, not embedded in the email?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's just how Mail presents the photo. If you want it to appear as an icon Control-click on the image and select "View as Icon". The recipient will see it however their mail client is set up.

  • How do I get to Iphoto Events when trying to attach photos ?

  • When I try to attach photos or files to an email by clicking on the attach box nothing comes up since I installed the new Firefox.

    When I try to attach photos to an email, and I click on attach, usually the box comes up with all the files in the computer and I can select from them. Now, since I downloaded the newest version of Firefox, when I click on attach, nothing comes up. When I downloaded this new version, I do recall that several things were not compatible with the new Firefox and some new things that were comparable were installed. A tab bar, and several others at the top of the screen now look different but my email/yahoo page looks exactly the same so I can't tell what's different. I was curious if something was blocking pop ups or other screens to come up. If this can't be figured out I would appreciate someone telling me how I can undo this new version and go back to the one that wasn't broken in the first place.

  • Attaching photos to places like facebook/yahoo/gmail

    iPhoto library is grayed out when attempting to attach photos in internet-based applications such as facebook or yahoo. Photobooth pics can be selected. As a workaround, I can move a picture to desktop and then find it and attach it.
    I don't understand why the picture folder cannot be used as it contains .jpg files. Are they somehow locked and is there a way to either automatically redirect or save to a new location so these photos are automatically there when attempting to attach?
    Any ideas here?

    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. 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.
    There are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library. Any time you access it with the Finder or some other application you risk damaging it.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a 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. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    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.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    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.
    All of these are a:faster and b: safer than rooting through the iPhoto Library Folder.

  • 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?
    Regards

  • Cant attach photos to e mails

    can any one tell me why i cant attach photos to emails using my i book computer?

    Hi Crystal...welcome to the discussions.
    What happens when you try to attach a picture? Are you using Apple mail, or something else, and how do you try to attach?
    Sorry to ask so many questions, but it helps to narrow things down....

  • 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

  • Trouble attaching photos....

    Hello,
    I am having an issue in being able to attach photos to emails.
    When using Mail, if I choose to attach files (photos) to the email, the following dialogue box appears (as expected!):
    However, there is no way to browse through and select different photos as required. Instead, I tried to select 'photos' from the Media location in th eleft hand menu. Again, another dialogue box, slightly different this time:
    It says to open iPhoto.... but even when it is already open, the photos do not appear in the list as it suggests they should.
    I appreaciate there are other ways of attaching photos, but they arent as staright forward as far as I know! And this is quite frustrating!
    Can anyone help?
    Many Thanks in advance....
    Regards
    Ian

    That's not how you find the photos in an iPhoto library to add to an email.  Use the Media Browser that's in the new mail tool bar. 
    If it's not there then go to the View  ➙ Customize Toolbar menu and add it.
    Or, after setting up Mail as your email client in iPhoto's General Preference pane,
    select the photos you want to email use the Share buttons and select Email
    For more info on accessing photos in an iPhoto liblrary see this User Tip by Terence Devlin. It is the best treatise on How to Access Photos (for use outside of iPhoto):  How to Access Files in iPhoto
    NOTE: you should not access the photos in the iPhoto library from the Finder as you have in your screenshots. That can easily cause damage/corruption to the library.

  • Using Firefox 4.0 sometimes I can attach photos to email and most often the Attach feature doesn't work. How can I fix this?

    I have Firefox v4.0.1
    If I restart my laptop or my Desktop, both with MS OS, my email, AT&T Yahoo, Firefox browser, will allow the attach feature, for photos to work for a few photos. The when I click to attach another photo, nothing happens. At first I was trying to attach several photos at once. That didn;t work at all. Then I tried attaching one at a time. I thought I had solved the problem because that will work if I retart first. But then not. This is a problem that could make me go back to using IE. I need to be able to attach photos! By the way, I didn;t have this problem before I upgraded to v4.0.

    If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Is it possible to attach photos to a form prior to submission?  For example, if I have an employee in the field completing a property inspection, can photos of the property be submitted along with the form?

    I have to inspect properties for my business and have created a form that describes the condition of the property.  This form is great for my agents in the field, however, it would be really great if they could attach photos of the property to accompany the submission.  Is this possible?  Can it be considered on the wish list?

    Hi,
    Yes, you can create a file attachment field in the form and have your employee upload the pictures.
    Thanks,

  • Cant attach photos to email since i got iOS 8

    I uploaded iOS 8 when it came out. Since then I have been unable to attach photo's to emails.

    Same here also. IOS and all apps up to date. Gen 2 iPad. Will not attach photos in webmail for Hotmail, gmail or Yahoo mail.
    Nothing. They all act like they are attaching the file but just sit and the status icon just spins, and spins, and spins. 
    Before IOS 8, there never was a problem....Makes me glad I'm using and Android phone.
