Can only choose one email application for sharing photos

In the iPhoto's 5 preferences pane there is a drop down list for choosing the email program you prefer when sharing photos using email. There is a list of 4 applications in the drop down list. "American Online" is selected. When I click on the list to select a new program, the list goes immediately dim and I cannot change the email program. If I close the preferences dialog and reopen it then the list is reactivated but I still cannot change it without it going dim.
Is there an iPhoto pref file that I can delete that will reset the preferences? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi there,
There is a preference file you can delete and your OS will generate a new one. The drawback, the plist file also contains your albums, etc etc etc. You won't lose any of your photos but you will lose some of the renaming, albums etc, basically what you have done to personalize iPhoto library...
Thr problem you're talking abou has been mentioned before in this forum. I don't know if it is a software issue or an OS issue, and I do not recall if there was a fix...
The easiest way to find the preference list is to open Macintosh HD > username > LIbrary... you can just do a search for 'iphoto' from this window, the file will be named com.apple.iphoto.plist - I would drag file to desktop and open iPhoto and see if it helps with your email issues, if not you can drag back to orginal location, etc...
Another thing you can try, create another user, open iPhoto and see if same email issues occur, if it does, than the problem is with iPhoto application, if not than it COULD be the preference file...
EDITED: if you cannot fix your email problems, simply use the 'export' function, save to desktop and you should be able to find and attach the photo to any of your preferred mail clients...
Good luck, Rick

  • Mail: I can only open one email at a time

    Using Mail, I have a very strange phanomenon: I can only open one email at a time. E.g. when writing a new email, I cannot open another email for reference. I need to close and save the new email as a draft before being able to open another one.
    It would be great if somebody could help me with this, thanks!

    Hi Cocolores,
    If you choose File > New Viewer Window from the menu bar in Mail, you can have as many email messages open as you like.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad,  but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself.  Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

    You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • I can only view one email at a time

    I can only view one email at a time when i open my email app

    Reopened this question in another forum, since I am not talking about an iPhone but a MacBook Pro:

I need to close and save the new email as a draft before being able to open another one. Obviously, I am not reading two emails at a time, but I might be writing one and needing infos/text from another. It sounds stupid, but that's the way it is. :-/

  • Can I use one email address for two apple devices? (One iPad2 and one iMac.)

    I've been trying to find this information by searching the web and I can't find a good answer.
    Can I use [email protected] for my "iPad AppleID" and use the same email address for my "iMac AppleID"?

    your mail account has nothing to do with your apple id or device or even platform
    you activate your mail account in your mail-app on your device, just pay attention you activate your account as IMAP and not as POP or Exchange
    I suppose Verizon.net offers IMAP  too?
    citation from Wikipedia :
    IMAP supports both on-line and off-line modes of operation. E-mail clients using IMAP generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them. This and other characteristics of IMAP operation allow multiple clients to manage the same mailbox. Most e-mail clients support IMAP in addition to Post Office Protocol (POP) to retrieve messages; however, fewer e-mail services support IMAP. IMAP offers access to the mail storage. Clients may store local copies of the messages, but these are considered to be a temporary cache.

  • How do I disable my MobileMe account and add iCloud as the account for sharing photos in iPhoto?

    I have been trying to email work photos from my MacBook that were downloaded from my iPhone into iPhoto.  However, it states, "the server does not recognized your email/password".  I had/have a MobileMe account but have transferred everything over to iCloud.  Unfortunately, iCloud is not an option when trying to add the following: iPhoto>Preferences>Sharing>Email>Add Account.  I thought that it would have automatically converted the information over to iCloud from MobileMe but this did not happen.  How do you add iCloud as the email account for sharing photos from iPhoto?

    I;m going to bump this because I've been trying to figure it out for a week on these forums...

  • 2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc but it is on so can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I  can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
    what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.

  • I have a CC student membership for one year, but I can only download trial versions of for example illustrator and indesign (30 days). How do I solve this problem?

    I have a CC student membership for one year, but I can only download trial versions of for example illustrator and indesign (30 days). How do I solve this problem?

    If there is no billing issue,
    Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
    If you use Photoshop at all, you may need to install the latest update to resolve this issue. See this blog post for more information:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2013/01/photoshop-13-0-413-1-2-updat es-now-available.html
    If you do not have Photoshop, then try the solution that others have mentioned previously:
    Open the Adobe Application Manager (AAM).
    If applicable, let AAM complete any automatic updates and restart itself.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID. (Optionally, you can close AAM at this point.)
    Open a CS6 application (e.g. InDesign CC).
    If prompted (e.g. you get the trial screen), click "License This Software" and sign in with your Adobe ID.

  • Can I have more then one email signature for my ipad2 ?

    I have 3 email accounts on my ipad2.  Can I have a separate signature for each one?  I just bought the ipad2 so it is running the latest OS

    Unfortunately you can only have one signature, even with multiple accounts.  The signature appears in the editable field so it can easily be changed.

    Hi there
    You would need to purchase a seat for each user.
    What you currently have is 1 seat = 1 user.
