Changing email preference

I would like to use Thunderbird, not Mail, to send photos from iPhoto via email. Can I add Thunderbird to the email choices in the iPhoto preferences? If so, how do I do that?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Just to explain: that system requires an AppleScriptable email client and Thunderbird doesn't know an AppleScript from an Apple Pie
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
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!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
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. However, 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.
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.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
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.
Regards

Cannot change Email Preference in Drop Down Box

All my software is up to date on Snow Leapord. I use AOL Desktop for accessing my email and it is the most current AOL Desktop for Mac 1.7.722 (722). I just did the desktop upgrade 2 weeks ago.
I can no longer send pictures through AOL.
When I go to iPhoto preferences > General > the drop down box next to "Email photos using: has "Mail" highlighted. I cannot choose anything else. They are all greyed out (AOL, Eudora and Microsoft Entourage). I don't use Eudora or Entourage so they don't matter to me, but all 3 cannot be used. I have tried everything to get it to recognize AOL but it does not.
I called AOL and they had me unistall every AOL application and file on the computer and reinstall the new AOL desktop again but this did not work either. They said it was not their problem and must be with Apple and iPhoto.
When I called Apple (I have Apple care), they gave me a work around to send photos to the desktop and then attach to an AOL email, They could not help me otherwise, but I would rather use it the way I used to. Why won't it allow me to pick AOL (Which is shown in the drop down)
Can anyone give me help.

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
also note that you probably can select the photo(s) and drag them to the AOL Desktop icon in the Dock to create your e-mail

To me this clearly says that the issue is AOL desktop since it worked until you upgraded and after upgrading does not

FaceTime on Ipod and Mac without changeing email preferences.

My friend uses the same email for FaceTime on his mac as on his ipod, but I never want to face time his mac because it is a family computer. What can I do to only face time his Ipod without FaceTiming his Mac?

Welcome to Discussions, Kun Yai
I have tested every way possible and it works well.
To FaceTime between different devices, each must have a UNIQUE identifier.
If you use the same identity on each device, either will only be able to call and receive from someone else.

Change "Full Name" in iCloud Email Preferences

I must have entered a wrong "Full Name" in my iCloud email preferences in the beginning and would like to change that. Unfortunately it always tells me: "The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty". How can I access that field? I've tried it, but it would not let me.

If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account. You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)? If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely. To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again. (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

Old email is closed. I have no access to it. Cannot change email address for icloud in system preferences,does anyone have a way this can be corrected? I don't have access to icloud.

Hi Joycars,
Can you not simply sign out of the iCloud account with the incorrect email? Not sure I'm following?

Go to your profile page.
Select the Notifications tab clear out anything that shows there.
Go back to your profile
In the Actions box select Preferences
Select the Email Notifications Preferences tab
Set the values as you like
Go back to your profile
In the Actions box select Manage Email Notifications
delete any that show

Default email preference change

today without warning IPhoto changed the default email preference to Entourage and all other selections are greyed out... what gives, yesterday I mailed pics via Mail, my choice of email program but today I cannot choose Mail as my default,
currently running iPhoto 4.0.3 and iMail 1.3.11

Dear Derrick
I had the same and changed the preference-file as follow:
1. Open the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file:
user-->library --> Preferences -->com.apple.iPhoto.plist
2. Go to the line where you find the preferenced programm
3. Add a line above f.e. "Microsoft Entourage" and indicate "Mail" instead of Microsoft Entourage (use the icons on the top of window)
4. Delete the old line with "Microsoft Entourage"
5. Save as your file at the same place but without plist at the end
6. Delete the old preference file
7. Add to the new file ".plist" for getting the same name as the old file.
8. Change the library name of your i-photo to force i-photo to look again for the right file
9. Open i-Photo and select the right library of i-photo
10. You will see the old mail-icon and you can sent pictures again by mail.
Try it; it works without adding any programm....

Cannot change email account preferences in Mail w/ iCloud account

I'm trying to change how often my trash is emptied in Mail for my iCloud account, but I keep getting this message when trying to save a change; The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty.

Then there is a corrupt preference within the Mail application itself. I'm not sure on how to instruct you because Apple change the way preferences are stored and I haven't gotten into it completely yet. It would probably be the com.apple.mail.plist file.
Before doing anything, make sure you have a back up in case problems arise. Also, sign out of iCloud and Quit Mail before making any changes.
Preferences are stored in the Home Library folder for your user account. Quit Mail. Navigate to the Home Library folder. It's hidden in Lion. In Finder, select Go from the menu and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. Navigate to the Library/Preference folder. Select any .plist file for com.apple.mail and move them to the trash. Restart Mail and see if it clears up.
If not, Quit Mail again. Go to the Home Library/ Containers folder. Move the com.apple.mail folder to the trash. Restart Mail and it should replace com.apple.mail folder in the Containers folder. See if that clears it up.
The items you move to the trash can be put back by selecting them, right click, and select put back. Of course, you need to quit Mail and sign out of iCloud as instructed earlier.
If you feel uncomfortable doing this, then wait for someone else to help. I'm getting ready to leave and won't be online until tonight or tomorrow.

Changing email address on iCloud account

My email was hacked a while ago, and I managed to change email addresses on most accounts I can't seem to change the address on my iCloud account, any help please?????!!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Unable to send iPhoto by email since changing email P/W

unable to send iPhotos by email since changing email P/W

What version of iPhoto and system are you using? Are you using iPhoto as the email client or are you going thru Mail?
Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account. Close iPhoto, reboot, relaunch iPhoto and add the email account back.
