Cannot attach photo when only exchange account configured

Hi,
I Configured my iphone 4 (iOS 6.1.3) with my organization Exchange account.
This is the only account on my device and i have a strange problem.
When i go to the photo app and select a photo and try attach it to a new email, it send me to the "Add account..." page, like i didn't set any account although i have the exchange account already.
If i'm going to the mail app and on the body i choose attach photo or video - it's working but i must have the other way too.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Thanks.

Have your IT folks check the profile for this account. There's a security setting:
Use Only in Mail
Send outgoing mail from this account only from Mail app
If that box is checked, you'll experience the behavior you're experiencing.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.
The first one, my private home email, works fine. With the other 3, I get the message "Cannot get mail: The connection to the server failed"
All were working fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I did try the old trick of making one minor change on the account and resaving, but that did not change anything. I even deleted my work account and re-entered it from scratch, but again, sadly, no luck. For the time being, I am successfully getting the email via IMAP, but this ***** compared to exchange. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if a fix is in the works?

Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail

Can anyone help?
I have been using my hotmail account to send/share photos on iPhoto. Recently I cannot share photos via my hotmail account but works with Gmail?
What do I need to do to get the hotmail account working again?

In iphoto I select the photos to send, click on share and email. I setup the email in iphoto and iphoto sorted out all the pop3 & SMTP settings all i had to do was put my email & password in. Since its gone wrong I have got an ipad but no changes to my email settings.
I have been looking at the 'mail' which is also setup for hotmail and I can't send emails from there either so i don't think there is a problem with iphoto.

Cannot manage Distribution group membership when two exchange accounts are configured in outlook.

Hi,
I am using outlook 2013 and my exchange server is 2013 too.
I have a distribution group named "[email protected]" and my user "[email protected]" is moderator of this DL and i was able to add/remove members from this.
Now, I own one more exchange account as "[email protected]" and i configured the same in outlook 2013 as an exchange account and what i see is i am unable to edit the DL "[email protected]"
My default account in outlook is "[email protected]" still i cant edit the DL. As i delete the account "[email protected]" from outlook or configures it ([email protected]) as an IMAP i am able to moderate "[email protected]".
Any Clue ???
Error message :- "Changes to the distribution list membership cannot be saved. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object."
My Exchange server 2013 and outlook both are having latest updates installed. Thanks.

I have configured second account as Exchange only in the same Outlook profile. I don't want to switch my profiles to operate the either the accounts.
Both the accounts are different and don't have any relevancy to each other. "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"
What i suppose is, "[email protected]" is having permissions on the DL "[email protected]"
but "[email protected]" dosent have it. So when i edit "[email protected]" outlook is
using "[email protected]" to edit it and not "[email protected]"

IPad Mail exchange account configuration problem

I am trying to configure an exchange account using iPad mail. When I input my information and hit next, the iPad dims the screen and says "verifying." Then the iPad stops verifying and the next button is gray and doesn't work. The only option is to cancel. How can I get this account configuration to work?
And I did find this, but it isn't much help:
support.apple.com/kb/HT1277

I'm having the same problem... and after it hung on verifying for a while it said "Unable to Verify Certificate - the certificate autodiscover.acme.com could not be verified. [Accept/Cancel]" I accepted it, then it asked for the server name (or maybe I just forgot to enter it in the first place). I entered it and now I'm good to go...

Cannot attach photos to email in iOS 8.0

After upgrading to iOS 8.0, I can not attach photos to my emails. This has never been a problem before the upgrade.

Which mail client are you using?
Can you mail directly from the Photos.app using the "Share" options?
Apps, that have not been updated to iOS 8 compatible versions cannot see all photos, only the photos in the "Recently added" album. As a work-around send photos directly from the Photos.app or add the photos to an album. Then other apps should be able to access the photos. There is also a bug with accessing photos by third-party apps that will be fixed in the next iOS8 update.

Can not attach photos using Yahoo email account

I am new to the Mac OPS and maybe it is just something that I do not know, but why can't I attach photos to an email using my Yahoo email account? I have read the way to change the preference of email providers, ie: entourage or mac mail. But I have neither accounts. I was just wondering if there was a way to do this, or if the program could be updated so that it could be possible.

Yahoo email is a service not an application. If you have the Pro version of this service then you can set it to work with one of the applications in the iPhoto preferences. Otherwise you'll need to use one of these:
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 iPhoto2GMail
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.

TS4363 exchange account configuration option is gone for apple mail 6.0

why are there no account options. I have an exchange account that automatically configures to pop and is terrible., pop needs to simply drift into the history books and leave the email world to imap and echange and everyother email protocol that is read on all devices... I can use and have configured an account from a previous install that functions fine but fail bucket on setup of a new one:(

Okay - I fixed it. Here's what I did.
- Deleted the entire mail folder inside my Preferences folder. ~/Library/<userfolder>
- Kept the files in the trash just in case, but didn't need them
- Rebooted
- Opened the System Preferences
- Selected "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"
- Verified the previous account was gone
- Clicked Create
- Created a new account and then opened Mail
- Voila! Email
Note - if you trash the mail folder inside Preferences, it will delete any local emails. All my email is IMAP and I never store anything locally, so everything syched right back when the account was recreated.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

I cannot attach photos to email since iOS 8 was installed yesterday.

Since I installed iOS 8 yesterday, I can no longer attach photos to email. It just cycles and cycles but photos will not attach. PLEASE HELP!! Thank you!!!!

Hello DaynaE65,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. You may want to consider performing a restart, or a reset to address the issue:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities
Cheers,
BobbyD

Cannot attach photos

In the past I was able to attach several photos to an email. Recently I cannot attach evenone photo. I get the message: "This file exceeds your attachment limits."Why is this happening?

Your photo is larger than the email attach limit.... you will need to resize the photos in order to send them. Additionally, check the settings on your camera/phone to ensure that the photo size is not the LARGEST... Most cameras/phones have an "email" option for taking pictures.

Calendar hangs when selecting Exchange account in preferences

I have an Exchange account set up for a company I have just left. So I'm trying to remove that Exchange account from Calendar. When I open Preferences, and go to Accounts, everything's fine, but as soon as I select the Exchange account in the list, Calendar hangs. I'm not sure how I can remove this account.
The hang report is at the following link: http://tyznik.com/misc/Calendar_2012-10-31-140401_Michaels-MacBook-Pro.hang

Michael,
Make sure that your computer is not connected to any network, or wirelessly to the internet and try deleting the account.

Battery draining when using Exchange account

Hi,
I'm currently using a iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.3. I alos syncronize it with a MS Exchange account (manual).
For the last 3 months or so, my battery seems to drain. It seems as if the connection between the phone and the exchange server doesn't disconnect after I've been searching or scrolled in the contact list.
I've tried the following actions but with no effect:
- Rebooting the phone
- Restore to a new phone
- Uninstall the exchange account, reboot and install the account again (makes it work for a few days in best case)
- Close all open applications
- Set the sync between the phone and the exchange account to manual (also in advanced settings)
- Manually drain the battery to empty and after that charged to full
I would be very greatfull for any tips, hints etc since I have to use the phone in my work.
Kind Regards PelleM

Here's a "me too" post. I'd love to hear if anyone makes headway with this. I am the outside Mac geek for a company that has an exchange server, mostly PCs and a handful of Macs and iPhones. All the iPhones are working like a champ save one on which the Mail application periodically stops working with the Exchange account. The calendar and contacts from the exchange account continue to sync just fine, but mail app will simply remain blank when the user clicks on the inbox.
I've been able to kill the account (on the phone) and re-setup and it'll work for 2-3 weeks and then one day simply stop. I've restored the iPhone to factory defaults twice now. This past time I've not restored the contents of the phone from a backup, but rather set it up as a new phone. We'll see if that makes a difference. I've also setup the Exchange mail account as an IMAP account as a backup. Other accounts continue to work just fine when this happens--it's just the Exchange mail account that flips out.
At any rate, if anyone has any additional info/experiences, please post as I'd be curious. I'm hoping this most recent reset will do the trick, but I'm not confident it will.
Cheers,
Stephen
