Cant attach photos to email after "upgrade" to Photos...why?

HI,
So recently Apple updated (hijacked) my iPhoto app on my computer with their "new and improved" Photos software.  While is good to have some long needed features like a useful file system, I seem to have lost some core functionality.  I use Outlook as part of Office for Mac and can no long attach photos to emails.  Yes, I know Apple and Microsoft hate each other and neglect if not sabatoge each other's stuff, but attaching a photo/image to Outlook email seems to be basic functionality Apple left out. 
PLease discuss this and let me know if I'm missing something simple or how I might be able to fix this major problem.  Otherwise how do I downgrade my software to the last iPhoto version so I can once again send an image over email.
i Realize that Apple may not have done this intentionally, but I never volunteered to be a beta tester for their new software.  Apple is niave if they think people don't use MS Office on Macs.  BTW, I have 3ipads, 3 macs, 2iphones and just purchased 4 watches...I hope there is an easy fix for this.
THanks!
Jeff

Nothing was hijacked. iPhoto is still on your Mac in the Applications folder. It was just replaced in the Dock with Photos during the 10.10.3 installation.  If you were running iPhoto 9.6.1 you can still use it with your iPhoto Library.
It's MS's responsibility to update Outlook so it can work with Yosemite and Photos, not Apple's  The same goes for all of the may other applications. It's the developers of those apps that must do the job. So don't blame Apple for their dropping the ball.
And remember upgrading to Yosemite was entirely voluntary on your part.
If you don't have iPhoto 9.6.1 then you can get it by following Terence Devlin's method in this post:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Missing all photos and events after upgrading to Photos from iPhoto

    I just upgraded to photos from iPhoto.
    When I opened Photos for the first time it asked if I wanted to move / import from iPhoto to the new photos app I said yes.
    A message came up that said that I needed to repair the permissions on my iPhoto library I said ok.
    When the library opened in Photos there was nothing there. It was as if the library was brand new with instructions on how to add images and events.  I went to iPhoto to open the library. Same thing iPhoto now looks like new with information on how to import photos and create events!
    Where are all of my images?
    How do I get them back?
    Thanks!

    HA! User Error. Supper embarrassing. So... Is there a way to delete this request?

  • I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

    I'm not sure I understand what you are asking, but on the device/Settings, do you have iCloud and Photos sync turned on?

    - If the photos were taken by or saved to the iPod just use the computer's camera/image capture software to get them from the iPod.
    - If the photos were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program such as PhoneView of TouchCopy.

  • Cannot open survey files from email after upgrading SAP gui to 720

    Cannot open survey files attachments from email after upgrading SAP gui from 640  to 720.
    Tried uninstalling & reinstalling but still error persists,
    Error is : cannot split connection string: /h/server name/s/sapdp00 ( from SAP GUI security )
    Please advise.

    Can't say I have seen this error before but if it is pertaining to the new security module within 7.20, which are much more strict then 6.40, I would look under the SAP GUI configuration options.  Focus on Security > Security settings.
    There are pages and pages of rules which can be defined.
    A test could be to disable all of them on an isolated machine and set them to allow and see if your problem persists.  If the error is resolved, it is something in there you need to address.

  • Cannot email photos from iPhoto after upgrade to 10.8

    After upgrading to 10.8, I have not been able to successfully eamil photos from iPhoto. I can select the photos, click the email icon, and have Mail open with the photos attached (as expected). But the send button is grayed out, and the newly created message window cannot be closed. To get rid of the unsendable email, I have to quit or force shut down Mail, then reopen Mail and manually delete the email from Drafts.
    Has anyone else run into this issue?

    As Larry suggested go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and make sure your email account information is correct. If you joined iCloud that is a must.

  • Mail showing attached pictures from previous email after upgrade to Mavericks

    My Apple Mail app is configured to show the email body in the bottom pane when I select an email in the email list in the top pane.
    I receive emails on a scheduled basis from a security camera.  The email contains attached pictures.
    THE BUG: After upgrading to Mavericks, when I am in Mail and am going from one email to the other, the image does not refresh to the image from the newly selected email.  It continues to display the images from the first email that was selected.
    Is this a known issue.  Has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks,
    Al.

  • Can't find emails after upgrade to Leopard

    I've recently upgraded to Leopard from Panther. Once the upgrade was complete, I started up Mail to check my emails, and was greeted with a message asking me if I wanted to import my old emails. As it was getting late, I declined, figuring I'd do it the next day. On starting up Mail the next day, I didn't get the import message, and Mail started downloading emails from one of my POP servers, which I managed to stop after 4 messages had hit my Inbox.
    I've now imported all the old emails from my other POP servers from the folders within each "POP-*username@popserver*" folder in /Library/Mail/, but the folder for the POP server that I had downloaded the 4 emails from now only has those 4 .emlx files in the /INBOX.mbox/Messages folder, rather than the several hundred that would have been in it prior to upgrading.
    Is there anything I can do to get them back? Thanks in advance.

    Jim:
    Larry is correct. Look at the disks that came with the computer with Pacifist to locate, extract and install iPhoto. If you can't find it then contact Apple with your purchase number in hand and tell them you need the software disk for the iLife 08 applications.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
