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,

What do I do when IPhoto says "mail server does not recognize user name/password?

Fixed by resetting my password to Apple's new protocol! In my case, I had to add a capitol letter.

Server did not recognize user name or password - i have changed password in mobile me. where else does it need to be changed?

Where exactly to my passwords need to match up? I changed my mobile me password and mobileme is working fine. When I try to access my calendar, it gives me the "Server did not recognize user name or password" warning and ical will not load. Where else does my password need to be ch

Hi birdman07,
You need to go into iCal and manually change the password.
iCal > Preferences > Accounts > MobileMe email address (CalDAV) > Account Information
I ran into the same problem when I recently changed my password for MobileMe and this resolved it.

Can't send pictures from computer,telling me does not recognize me username or password

when i choose a pic and i press the send button, it tells me that it does not recognize my password/username.how can i fix this?

Open iPhoto on your Mac. Choose iPhoto > Preferences from iPhoto's menu. Click "General". Presumably you have "Email photos using" set to "iPhoto".
Next click "Accounts" under iPhoto's preferences. Make sure your email address, password, and other account information is set up correctly. If in doubt, set it up as it is in the Mail app.

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.

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.

No problems with iPhoto 11,UNTIL I downloaded Lion. Now,I cannot e-mail from iPhoto. The "do not recognize user/password"message.I like to -mail directly from iPhoto,not Mail. Anyone having this problem? Thanks for the assistance

My iPhoto e-mail has been working great;UNTIL I upgraded to Lion. Now,I cannot e-mail directly from iPhoto. I prefer to e-mail photos from iPhoto,not Mail. I sure appreciate anyone's help. Thanks

1 - unless you tell us more then anything would be a wild guess - what happens? what error messages do you get?
and why would you use iPhoto rather than Mail anyway - mail has more templates, has a sent mail box, uses you address book lists and lets you control the message format so PC users can receive photos - and works for everyone

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!

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.

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.

Can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

can I export photos from iphoto to lightroom?

Not very knowledgeable on iPhoto are we?
The problem with iPhoto is it copies and or moves all your photo into it's database structure which is just a pain
It moves nothing. It can copy, or reference the images.
Even Picasa is better then iPhoto as it actually displays RAW images.
As Keith says, iPhoto work with every format that the OS supports - in other words all the same ones as Aperture.
iPhoto doesn't even support Adobe DNG format.
Going for 0/3 ?
As for migrating from iPhoto to Lightroom: Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
