Cannot email from iPhoto: internet not connected message

I am using the latest version of iPhoto and also have just upgraded to Yosemite, though this problem has existed forever and I am just now at my limit of tolerance.
I get a message that says my internet is not connected or working properly; completely false btw. I have tried deleting my accounts in iPhoto and reinstalling them to no avail.
What do I do?

I could have sworn that I had chosen the options you suggested in the first place. I did change to select Mail as the app and after your message, I tried once again to select iPhoto as the email app and yes, my iCloud account was at the top of the account list in iPhoto. This time the email from iPhoto worked perfectly.
As they say in NYC..."Go figure"
Thanks for the help
Cliff

I cannot email from iPhoto

When I email from iPhoto 9.5.1, I get this message "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." My server is gmail and iPhoto/Preference/Account was autofilled. I deleted and filled my password to make sure but I still get this error message. MacbookAir, OSX 10.9.3

I was trying to send the photos from iPhoto as I get a better choice of format ...
The iPhoto templates are nice, but iPhoto as mailer has not been working well with gmail in the past.
By using "Mail" as mail client, you could use the Mail stationary instead. These templates are also quit nice.

Can't email in iphoto network not connected

I'm using iPhoto '11, version 9.1.5. When I use the "share" button at the lower right corner of the screen, it tells me I'm not connected to network. But everywhere else, I'm connected. I ran Network diagnostics, and I am connected via my Airport. Why and I getting this message, and how can I connect?

Make a temprary backup copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Cannot email from iPhoto 9.2 with my MobileMe-email only account.

Mac OS 10.6.8, iPhoto 9.2
I can send emails from my MobileMe regular account, but not from my MobileMe-email only account. I keep getting the alert:
"Your email was not sent. Please wait a few moments and then try sending your email agan."
Anyone know why?

Yup, I have exactly the same problem like you have.
I thought it was a problem with Apple's iCloud server but one of my friend told me this morning that he didn't have any problem with iPhoto' s iCloud email sending.
Do I have to do all the clean install from the beginning or what?
This thing is really bugging me I didn't have any problem when I was using mobileme account connected with iphoto back then.
I'm not even sure if it's the problem with Lion or iPhoto or iCloud anymore...
Somebody help with this matter, pleaseeeee

I give up - cannot email from iPhoto 11

I have tried all suggestions on this forum, discarded preferences, etc. but cannot email a picture from iPhoto. The blue "send" line just goes to the right and stays stuck there every time. Nothing is sent. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Thanks.

Yes I have the same problem exactly.
In my email preferences,Outlook i don't use mac mail ( hate the new one, another story)
It appears I don't need a user name and password for my outgoing mail only incoming.
So as iphoto is only sending out, i deleted any username or password and it works.
ie only outgoing server and port 25.
I pressed the send button and received the photos during a test.
But here is the kicker, iphoto won't let me save these preferences without a username and password, but it does let me send while the preferences dialogue box is open without the username and password entered.
BIzarre!

When emailing from iPhoto I keep on getting 'server not responded' message.

Would anyone be able to help with the issue I have with iPhoto. Every time I try to email photos directly from iPhoto I get this message 'server not responded'. I have the lates Mountain Lion OSX installed on MBA. Also, in addition to iCloud account I tried to add two more email accounts to iPhoto hoping that this might solve the problem, but it didn't. Would anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Marius,
set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Email Photos using: Mail
This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.
Regards
Léonie

I have iPhoto 11 with Lion and when I try to post photos into MobileMe in Share I get the message that iPhoto is not connected to internet. Can anyone tell me how to connect iPhoto to internet?

My solution, which is not much, is to restart iPhoto and it then connects to the Internet. This has been an ongoing unsolved problem.

HT4623 Cannot update from iOS 6.1.3 to iOS 7...says that I cannot verify because I am not connected to the internet when I am clearly connected to the internet. I've tried from home and school. Now what?

I am trying to update an iPad 2 to iOS 7. It hasn't updated since iOS 6.1.3. When I try to update it, I get a msg box that tells me I cannot verify because I am not connected to the internet. This is not true because I AM connected to the internet here at school. I've tried at home and it does the same thing. What to do now?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Error message when trying to email from iPhoto

Just spoke to Apple support because I was unable to email from iPhoto unless I went through Mail (i.e. no templates). I had struggled with this for some months. The patient and helpful Apple people solved the problem after a couple of hours. Two-step verification in iCloud was the source. Since the email originates in the iPhoto app, it is necessary to use an app-specific password in iPhoto/ preferences/accounts/iCloud account.
That's why my wife's computer didn't have the problem. She doesn't have two-step verification enabled.
Thanks to Apple for the excellent support.

Yes, LarryHN is right - two-step verification seems to be causing this problem in some cases.
Other forum members reported, that creating an app-specific password is required, see the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)

I'm connected to the Wi-Fi network OK but safari and email say I'm not connected to internet

I'm connected to the Wi-Fi network OK but safari and email say I'm not connected to internet so nothing happens.

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

TS3276 from iphoto can not share photos via email

error message says "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."
had previously been able to share photos from iphoto via email. Did not change any settings and cant do so now.
Help

When I try to share photos via email, iPhoto says the server does not recognize the username/password combination.
Use your iCloud Mail account, when mailing from iPhoto and not email or similar. Sending using iPhoto as Mail client is more robust, if the send "From" in the outgoing mail is set to your iCloud account.

Sending pics from iphoto I get the message "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination".

Sending pics from iphoto I get the message "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination".

You need to set it up once in iPhoto-> Prefs -> Accounts b/c not everyone who uses iPhoto has or uses Mail.
