Cannot Email Photos with Gmail

I read some discussions troubleshooting gmail and iPhoto. Bottom line is I cannot email from iPhoto using gmail. I continue to get an error message saying my password and userID are not recognized. I have checked and rechecked. I have added the gmail account, deleted and re-added. Nothing works. I am so frustrated with my iMAC. Seems like everything outside the Apple bubble never works. I need a reason to hang on to my iMAC and not go back to windows. You also cannot email Pages docs using Gmail. Just one thing after another....ugh Come on Apple...why so difficult. I bought you because it was supposed to be easy!!!

Bottom line is I cannot email from iPhoto using gmail.
and
I use gmail to mail through iPhoto so there isn't a compatibility issue.
Huh?

Cannot email photos with iPhone

Hi.
Every time I try to email a photo I taken with my iPhone, I get the following message: "Cannot Sent Mail. A Cop has been place in your Outbox. The recipient 'Patricia Farrell'" (that's me! I'm not the recipient; I'm the sender!) "was rejected by the server."
I found a suggestion in one of the forums here about changing the settings for the gmail server so the the outgoing server port is 465 (it was 587). I tried that. It still won't work. Same message.
I am able to download the photos on my camera to my desktop. But if the camera on the iPhone has a function that allows one to email the photos, how do I get it to work? You can send photos with all other phones with cameras. Isn't that the point?
Thanks, Pat

A couple of things to try.
if you have emails in your default email account (gmail), go into your outbox on the iphone and delete those emails.
Now, open settings>general>reset and reset network settings.
Only reset network settings if you know the passwords to any wifi networks you have set up on the iphone.
Once the iphone restarts, try sending a photo again.
Also, if you were connected to wifi when trying to send the photos, try turning wifi off.
To turn wifi off go to settings>wifi and tap on the slider to turn wifi off.
Then try sending a photo again.
Hope this helps.

Iphoto will not email photos with gmail account "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination."

Hello!
I'm running OSX (v 10.10) and I am having issues sending photos out of iphoto. I have a gmail account and I have confirmed my username and password by logging in to gmail online. An help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Had the same error with gmail and was able to fix it.
For me it was a problem with a setting in Gmail. It seems that iPhoto isn't using SSL even though it has the check box.
Solution for me:
Go here https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Read the details carefully, what you're about to do is NOT recommended by google
If you still want to get iPhoto to work click on 'Enable' which will decrease the security settings on your gmail account
Presto magic! It works.
Personally I think this is a bug, I'm not sure if apple was sending security and stopped or if google got more secure by default but it seems like something apple should be fixing in iPhoto. I was able to send and receive from Mail without any problems before changing the setting, they clearly have the code to do things properly... Apple please port that code to iPhoto!

I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

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!

IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

I cannot email photos from iPhoto. I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

Do you have two-step verification enabled and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
Then check this solution:
If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
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)

Cannot email photos from iphoto 9.2

I have iphoto 9.2 and cannot email photos. When I go to send it, it tells me that "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."
What does that mean? I thought I had it set up to send from my POP account.
Help!

YEAH!
That will work for now. That is how I used to send photos before I upgraded my computer:)
I would like to be able to mail using the fun iphoto templates some day...but for now, this will work.
Thank you!

Cannot email photos from camera roll on IPad 2

Cannot email photos taken on iPad 2 that are on camera roll. Used to be able to. I am currently on iOS 7. Read too many bad reviews of new version. Any suggestions?

You have to restore from iTune or iCloud backup if you have one.

Cannot email photos from lightroom

I cannot email photos from lightroom 5.4. Is there a limit to how many photos you can email at one time?

Without knowing more details I suspect your problem may be your e-mail server. Many of them limit the message size you can send so if you're sending full size images rather than downsized images you may be exceeding those limits. As a test try to e-mail just one photo of limited size and see if that works. Otherwise, more details on how the program hangs up when you're trying to email those photos may be helpful.

You should be able to do it with Dropbox.

Since upgrading to iOS 8, I cannot email photos.

I can send them by text, but not by email. I tried sending to iCloud, 3 of my email addresses and my wife's email and they don't get delivered. I have rebooted the iPhone 5S and still cannot send. Any suggestions?

Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean that when you take photos with your iPhone camera or iPad camera they are not showing up in the photo stream? Do you mean that you are trying to sync your photos to a computer and that they are not syncing? Just not sure what you are asking?
