Can't Add to iPhoto from Mail - function in Mail.app broken?

I did try several Emails with different .jpg images attached, the option "Add to iPhoto" is visible in the pulldown menue (click "Safe" next to Quick Look), one can select it, but nothing happens.
No difference if iPhoto is open or not. I did do a permissions repair on the iPhoto library (9.4.1), but no change.
My system is at 10.8.2 with the recent supplement.
I checked the Console for error log entries, but could not locate something fitting.
Any suggestion how to fix? Or is it a bug?

Yes it is a bug
Report to apple. iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
You can work around BR saving to the desktop and importing or opening in quick view, expanding to full screen and saving to iPhoto

I need to save an online file to my ipad and then email it as an attachment from my school email? It is my college gmail account and I can't add it to my mail app.

You can use your gmail account within the native Mail app using IMAP
Make sure you've enabled IMAP in your main Gmail settings
Open the Settings app on your device
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account...
Tap Gmail
Enter your account information, being sure to use your full Gmail address, including '@gmail.com'

TS4435 Can not add photos directly from Mail to iPhoto

Apple calls Article: TS4435 a solution? Drag the photos one at a time to iPhoto? Pathetic. This is BROKEN!
Has anyone discovered a better way to save attached photos to iPhoto?

There are several work arounds, all involve additional steps.
If Apple had intended for us to save Mail photos some other way, they would have removed the "Add to iPhoto" option from the "Save" drop down list.
I just spoke with a Sr. Advisor and opend a case so hopefully this will be fixed, some year.

Can't save to iphoto from mail

When I get photos attached in my icloud mail now, it still gives me the option to save image to iphoto. When I click on it, it does nothing at all. The only way I can bypass this now is to drag and drop to desktop and then import that way... help!

Can't send any emails from mail app on OSx10.6.5

I've noticed a lot of people are having trouble with the mail app since installing snow leopard and I've tried several fixes. I've downloaded the 10.6.5 combo and reset the preferences, but still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

No, there have been no problems here. Run Connection Doctor, and tell us what it reports, particularly about the SMTP?

Can't save new address from Mail.app

Hi.
I forget the name of the service, but when an address shows up in a Mail message you can select it and get a pop-up to add or update a contact in Address Book. It doesn't work when I try to do that. This error shows up in the log:
1/8/10 8:27:06 AM Mail[46985] AddressBook failed to save: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1560 UserInfo=0x11b6e8150 "Multiple validation errors occurred." ({
NSDetailedErrors = (
"Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1570 UserInfo=0x11baea950 \"group is a required value.\"",
"Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1570 UserInfo=0x11ce1d710 \"group is a required value.\""
Any clues (besides 'delete the AddressBook-v22.abcddb file') would be appreciated.
Thanks

Add To iPhoto in Mail fails for iPhone photos sent in multiple emails

Someone takes six photos with an iPhone and emails them to you.
You get 6 emails. Each one has a photo.jpg image attached.
You click the SAVE pop-down menu in the Mail message and choose Save To iPhoto. The photo is imported into iPhoto. You delete that email and do the same thing with the second email with the second photo...
BUT, somewhere the Mail-iPhoto smartness turns dumb, as the rest of the photos will not show up in iPhoto. (This may have something to do with the fact that the iPhone sends each photo with the attachment name of photo.jpg and somehow Mail or iPhoto think that photo has already been added to iPhoto).
I was having this problem with photos emailed to me by iPhone users and tested it myself.
Sure enough, after the first photo.jpg attachment is imported all subsequent Add To iPhoto operations of iPhone sent images fail... even if the photos have been sent from separate iPhones from separate email addresses.
All the attachments are kept by Mail in uniquely numbered folders in the attachments folder of my receiving email account in Library/Mail but since each attachments is named photo.jpg that seems to throw off iPhoto OR Mail (because even the quick progress update of "Adding photo to iPhoto" does not show up on these attempts).
I checked if quitting and restarting Mail fixed allowed the second photo to be added to iPhoto but it did not. Quitting iPhoto after EACH import/Add To iPhoto operation allowed each photo to be added into iPhoto.
This may have to do with the iPhoto bugs handling large libraries (I have 19000 images in it) like the spinning wheel of Names window after imports, etc.
Just sharing if others have the same experience sending 3 iPhone photos by email to themselves and seeing if all can be added to iPhoto from Mail. Thanks.

i need help

Since installing Lion, I am unable to add to iPhoto from an e mail or desk top. Something about power pc. I thought I had a Mac! What should I do to restore the facility?

since installing Lion, I am unable to add to iPhoto from an e mail or desk top. Something about power pc. I thought I had a Mac! What should I do to restore the facility?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail with the wrong address?

How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail that was returned because of an error I made in the address?

ImagineThat:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.
