Can't email photo from iphoto

I get error "the email server does not recognize my user name or password combination  when using iPhoto using latest operating system

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the email account and then add it back.
If that doesn't get you back on line with mail the set Mail as iPhoto's email client in iPhoto;s General preference pane and use Mail instead of iPhoto to email your pictures.  Mail gives you an automatic sent copy as well as templates in its Stationary section and is more reliable than using iPhoto.

    Hi, I can't email photos from iphoto as the email server doesn't recognise my password / username combination... any ideas how / where i fix this?

    Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account there.  Then add it back again. 
    If that fails you can set Mail at the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane. Mail is more reliable, gives you a sent copy and has better access to your contacts. It also has photo templates if you need them.  They are in the stationary selection menu.

  • I can't email photos from iPhoto on Yosemite IMAC

    I have recently downloaded Yosemite and now I can't email photos from my IMAC. Has anyone else experienced this and solved the problem?

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • How can I email photos from iphoto '11?

    I am having trouble emailing photos from iphoto '11.  When I put the recipients address in, it disappears when I click "send" and I get some message about "key chain" and iphoto wants to use my confidential information????    What I ended up doing is dragging and dropping the photo into the email, but I don't want to have to do that all the time.  I just got this MacBook Pro and iphoto program so am experiencing a learning curve.  I must be doing something wrong.  Is it safe to "always allow" this "key chain" info?
    Thanks, you wonderful community.
    Sheila
    Update!   I just tried this again by "allowing" for this one photo.  I'm not sure what I'm allowing, but the photo was sent this time.  Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Sheila

    Sharing you are allowing the email to be sent.
    Your SMTP has a password and it is confidential, if you do not agree it does not have access to that password.

    Thanks "Old Toad" .... I tried what you suggested: I erased the email accounts, re-booted, re-entered the email settings and changed the the email client to Mail (instead of iPhoto). I still have the message " email server didn't recognize your username/password combination"...... so frustrating and probably something so simple..... but I can't figure it out! I did clean-up everything, cookies/cashes, I did a "Safe Boot", just in case.... still not able to send email via iPhoto, instead I have to drag the photo from iPhoto onto the desktop then attach it to an email.... way too many steps!!!!
    And what email client are you using in the successful (if too many step) process?

  • How Can I Email Photos from iPhoto using Yahoo Web Mail?

    Is there anyway to hook the email functionality in iPhoto up to a web based email account?
    On my old PC Yahoo had a little helper application that would intercept calls to the email program and redirected them to Yahoo. Yahoo does not seem to have a similar helper app for mac.
    Can anyone think of a way to connect iPhoto's email button up to Yahoo or other web based mail?
    Thanks!
    -kevin

    Kevin
    There is one for GMail, but none for Yahoo, AFAIK.
    As you're using 10.5, If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

  • Can't email photos from iPhoto as server does not recognize user name or password

    How can I fix this?  I use MS office outlook for mac 2011 - I don't seem to have problems otherwise, or on iphone.

    That's not the problem. If you have Apple Mail, you have to separately configure the passwords for iPhoto as well. Even though you have entered your email accounts and passwords properly in the email area, you have to re-enter the correct passwwords for all the email accounts registered under iPhoto/Preferences/Accounts; make sure to save each password, then close iPhoto and reopen it. Then you will be able to send the pix!!
    Cheers,
    Jim

  • I can't email photos from iPhoto-

    I get an error saying my gmail password is incorrect however I don't know where to change that.  I don't believe my gmail password has changed.
    Could anyone help?
    Thanks

    Do you have a double log in to gmail for added security? iPhtoo can not handle that I understand
    you change the password in the Accounts preference in iPhoto - you may need to delete the account and re-enter it - IMHO it is better to Use Mail for email (set it in the iPhtoo prefernces)

  • Entered incorrect password to email photos from iPhoto, How can I enter correct password? Using Version 10.10.3

    I entered an incorrect password when I was about to email photos from iPhoto. Message popped up saying Server does not recognize user name/password. Only option was to enter ok. How can I re enter correct password. Tried shutting computer down hoping it would prompt me to enter password again but the same message came up. I am using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

  • 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.

  • Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
    i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
    Any ideas ?

    This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
    Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
    I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
    And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!
