Cannot share photos in iPhoto

I get a message saying "email did not go through because the server did not reply".  I have no problem photostreaming through the iCloud but email seems to hit a road block.  Any ideas on whether my iPhoto app (in both iMac and iPad) cannot find the server?

What email service do you use? Have you recently change it to require a double login for security purposes? If so that is it - if not then
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

  • 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.

  • I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

    I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid."  I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac.  This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5.  I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
    This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others.  I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
    I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto.  I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
    I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient.  Thank you.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • 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 print photos in IPhoto 09

    Snow Leopard. Followed Toad's instructions to reinstall IPhoto, Sorta' messed up now. Cannot print photo from IPhoto Libraray Photos pg. Exported photo from there to "Pictures"; msg shows " Unable to create/User/MMM/:Picture/DSC,,,,.pg". Didn't get an IPhoto icon on dock but found a way. Have an icon on desktop "IPhoto Library" that opens IPhoto but it is also opened when I open IPhoto icon on dock, have done Software Update for latest on HP printer. Am losing much sleep trying to get this figured out. Should I delete all IPhoto again and start over on reinstall from disk "c"?

    No answer yet so still messing up not knowing what I'm doing, but do know I have IPhoto so messed up. Have an iPhoto icon on the Dock and iPhoto Library on desktop.
    Found 2 iPhoto apps in Trash. Dragged out to desktop (iPhoto 07-27-19 (is this a date?) .app and iPhoto.app.  Don't know what is in them...so what to do now. Do I delete current iPhoto icon from Dock and open one of the ones I just mentioned? If so, how do I do this? Should I clear all iPhoto info and reinstall from Mac Installation disk?
    Have Dictionary on Dock which opens dictionary; also have Dictionary.app on desktop which, if I draag into Trash, then Dictionary on Dock no longer opens.
    Hoping to hear real soon, cause I am getting so impatiet after several days now of getting more into trouble, to clean this mess up and get on with other things.

  • Cannot drag photos into iPhoto '09

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and I installed iPhoto '09 and I noticed something odd. I cannot drag photos into iPhoto to import them. I remembered in the previous version on my old MacBook Pro I was able to drag photos to the app (in the photo area) and it would import them. Now the only way dragging works is if I drag the photos to the iPhoto icon on the dock.
    Anyone see this before? I think I might have some strange dragging problem because I can no longer drag attachments from Entourage and save them to folders I have to manually click the save button. I'm not sure if this is related. Thanks

    It was my Helvetica and Helvetica Neue fonts. They got jacked some how. I moved them and then copied them back and then rebooted. That fixed it. I guess you used to be able to disable and renable them from font book but they were locked so I did it manually. Fixed it.

  • What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    What are the best ways to share photos from iPhoto?

    If you use Adobe Photoshop, or even Adobe Photoshop Elements, stay as far away from iPhoto as possible.
    iPhoto does not play nice with Adobe software or with software from any other third party developer.
    iPhoto will hide your image files in a library paradigm where you have no access to them other than through iPhoto.

  • When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?

    When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?
    The only way I can get them to appear on the Facebook newsfeed is to 'share' the album within Facebook. Does anyone know why iPhoto only puts the photos on my profile wall and not for people to view in the newsfeed?

    I'm having the same problem and I end up having to just post it the old fashioned way. Has anyone figured this out as they appear on my wall but not in my newsfeed???

    Hey, click on Iphoto on the top bar.
    Then go to preferences.
    Go to accounts, and change your user name and password for the email.
    Hope this helps.

  • Attempt to share photo from iPhoto gets error message

    Attempt to share photo from iPhoto to email gets message: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination

    Do you have iPhoto setup as the mail client?  If so go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delte the email account, close iPhoto and reopen and add the account back in.
    Or you can change the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane to Mail.  Many users found that it works when the iPhoto client wouldn't  If you want photo templates Mail has photo stationary templates that you can select.

  • Suddenly cannot upload photos from iPhoto to websites like ebay

    I am attempting to create listings on Ebay and cannot upload photos from Iphoto like I used to.  This happened on another website as well where I attempted to upload photos from Iphoto onto the site and it wouldn't work.  I was able to upload to Facebook and use the pictures that way, but cannot do that for Ebay.
    With the Ebay issue, I'm able to get to Iphoto by clicking on the browse button in Ebay, but when Iphoto comes up, it's frozen and I can't move the page at all. I'm have to "force quit" Safari to even be able to continue using the computer.
    I am using a Mac Mini, Mac OS X Lion (Version 10.7.5).  Safari is Version 6.1 (7537.71).  All software is up to date.
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send/share photos through iPhoto. Dropbox says "not connected to server". All other online email activities work just fine.

    Since upgrading to Maverick I cannot send photos while in iPhoto.  Dropbox says I am not connected to server.
    All other internet email activities work just fine.

    And again why do you think Dropbox is involved in any way?  There is no connection of any sort between iPhoto and Dropbox
    THis sounds like you either need to (my personal suggestion) change your email client to Mail in the iPhoto preferenceemail if you want to use the iPhoto client under the accounts tab delete your account and re-enter it
