Email Attachment Problems with New Photos Program

I just spent two hours online with Apple Support to try to figure out why I couldn't get my photos to upload to my gmail - or any mail other than the Mail that's hooked directly into the new Photos program. After two hours I was told that the only way to do this without using Photos was to send the pictures to my email of choice, download them back to my computer (are you kidding!) and then save them to a location other than the Photos program. What the what?!!
I take photos for charities and sports teams that are used by our local papers and websites. If you're sending photos to a business or person who does not use Apple products there are issues opening up the attached photos. I tried sending my photos through the new Photos program today but as feared the newspaper called to say they could not open my photos. They do not use Apple products. I had to go through a ridiculous number of steps to get these photos sent, instead of the simple attachment that used to be available with iPhoto.
My question is WHY? Why is Apple making what used to be so simple so difficult? Please tell me this issue will be fixed and fixed soon! I never thought I would say this but it may be time to look at a Chromebook or something other than a MacBook. What used to be so intuitive and creative has now become a mess worse than anything Microsoft could cook up.

Follow up, Julie!
Remember that you can use any mail provider in your Mac Mail that you wish.**
I have several different email providers as I have multiple email accounts.
When you select your pictures(s) within Photos and
click on the Share option via Email
your selected pictures get placed within the email,
you then select - within your email - which email provider you are using ( e.g. your Yahoo mail, your Google mail account, you name it).
Your choice. It is really quite easy.
Looks kind of like this
Somebody, somewhere, is now realizing that they can use any mail provider in your Mac Mail that they want.
They do not have to log into Gmail or Yahoo mail or other web based mail servers.

This is akin to the epiphany of years ago when millions realized they did not have to have AOL to surf the web.

Email attachment problems with "excel" files.

I have just upgraded to the iphone 4 from the 3gs and since doing so any emails I receive with excel files attached will not open the attachment? These files openened with no problem on the same email account on my 3gs.
Instead when I download the attachment and go to open it I am met with a page displaying....
"Unable to read document.
An error occured while reading the document."
Has anyone else having this problem or even better anyone know what the fix is to get these files showing up?
Any help would be appreciated,
Kris

After much frustration about excel files not opening and repeatedly not getting answers from apple, I think I might have found another way. It seems that the new apple OS does not support older versions of excel. By saving the excel file in question (Save As) to "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook" the Workbook opens just fine as an E-mail attachment. If you have macro's you can save as "Microsoft Excel 2007 Workbook (Macro Enabled)" and it works also.
The Workbook in question as far as I was concerned was created in Microsoft Excel 2003.
Hope this helps
Apple needs to get on the ball. This was almost a dealbreaker with me.
Android is looking better and better every day.

I have problems with new photos for photostream.

I have a problem with upload of new photos to a stream I have made in iCloud.
I made this stream last friday and had no problem. But today when i tried to upload new pictures i got a problem.
When I'm in the photostream and i choose to add new photo, I'm able to choose the picture, but after this it freeze/lock and I don't get the possibility to publish the picture or do anything else.
I'm working on an iPad2.
Please - what to do?

Try this:
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app
then
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

Problems with new Photo v. 1

I just dutifully upgraded to the Photos program and lost iPhoto functions. I'm working on an iMac 24" running Yosemite 10.10.3. My photos had been organized into events and locations had been carefully entered. I often used Places to organize and reflect on photos. Now the events and places seem to have disappeared. How can I get those back??? Some of my photos were taken on an iPhone, and those locations transferred, but I use an SLR camera without location software and had to manually enter those locations in iPhoto. Now I don't see those places nor a way to add the information. I had also adjusted dates on those photos that I had transferred from family members. (I am the keeper of the photos for a family that is very careless about entering dates on their cameras.) The original data carried over and I have photos from the 1800s to 2025!
Is there an editing tutorial about how to transform these photos again? Can I go back to iPhoto until some of these bugs get worked out? I'm more than a little unhappy. I have about 35,000 photos on this machine.

Moments in Photo are the new Events. There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted by Title. Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

Laundry List of Problems with New Photos App...

This isn't really a question, per se, but a list of complaints that others might have input on workarounds.
1. I made a habit of downloading my photos to the computer after each activity that merited it. As such, the images were naturally sorted into Events that neatly matched. As far as I can tell, my images are all in one giant jumble of crap now. Did I miss a step in the transition where it asked me if I wanted to keep my Events as Albums in the new app or is this just something I'm going to have to do manually? (I guess I did have a question...)
2. I try to avoid deleting my photos from my SD cards until I have them backed up in at least two locations. As such, I end up relying on the app's ability to recognize the previously imported from the new. This afternoon, I put the SD card in and it did just that, however the import buttons were disabled and even selecting the new images didn't re-enable them. I had something else to do, so I properly ejected the SD card and came back later. Now when I put the SD card in, it ONLY sees the old photos and doesn't even recognize the new ones as old ones. They are completely invisible to the app. And it won't let me import from an SD card with the Import function, simply "graying out" the folders on the card so they can not be selected. I had to drag-copy the files into an empty folder on my desktop and then import from that location. This is precisely n-1 steps too many.
It really seems like this application could have used several more weeks of bug testing before being released. I'm not prepared to say that it is definitively worse than iPhoto (which wasn't exactly phenomenal), but it really seems like a weak excuse to cram the iCloud down your throat. That might be the corporate goal, since they keep putting tiny HDs in the MacBooks, despite the rapidly improving SSD technology and declining prices.

In Photos your Events were converted to Albums. Easiest access is if you enable the sidebar (View Menu)
I've seen a couple pf reports of oddities with importing from cards. Nothing to help you there I'm afraid.

Problem with new photo on the OS X Yosemite

Hi, I've just upgraded to the OS X Yosemite software and now find that I can't access the iPhoto library on my hard drive...any ideas? It says that it doesn't have permission to create a photo library in my hard drive. I've repaired the permissions on my hard drive and Mac Hd but the problem persists...any ideas?

Have you checked the manufacturer's web site for an update?

Downloaded yosemite and my iPhotos pics now appear as a grey square and triangle with an ! in it with in the new photos program

I have a mac book pro and i just downloaded yosemite. after i downloaded yosemite i went to the new photos program as he iPhoto icon was no longer there and i followed the instructions. i then opened my pics and they all seemed to be there but when i enlarge them or double click on them all i see is a grey screen with a grey square with a grey triangle with an exclamation point in it. so in reality the pics aren't really there! maybe they are somewhere else but i do not know.
just so you know: before i downloaded yosemite i did all the upgrades my computer said i needed to do, no iPhoto upgrade was listed. i didn't do any specific backup before downloaded yosemite but i do have a time machine connected to the computer so i do believe that i therefore have a backup. i am not exactly sure what version iPhoto i had but perhaps my iPhoto and the new photos program are not compatible. i say that because when i went into applications and clicked on iPhoto (as it was listed there) it said "in order to open "iPhoto" you need to update to the latest version. the version of iPhoto installed on this mac is not compatible with os x yosemite. download the latest version for free from the mac app store." so i searched the app store and it says that version is not available. the app store does list iPhoto in my purchased products but it only says update and not download. i clicked on update it doesn't appear to do anything but do a spinning circle for a few seconds and then nothing further. i don't know what to do next! what happened and how do i go about fixing this problem?

The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
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.

New document: How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems

Have you ever had problems with PDF attachments sent from Adobe Reader for iOS using Share > E-mail Document?
You may find this document useful to avoid the problems.
How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems
Please let us know if you have encountered different types of problems with PDF attachments. We can look for solutions or workarounds for you.

Unfortunately, we (Adobe Reader mobile team) do not know if/when Apple will fix the attachment problems (software defects) in Apple Mail.
In particular, the attachment problem with Microsoft Outlook (See Problem #2 in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems) appears to be a long-standing defect that has been known for years. However, Apple has not provided any fix for Apple Mail yet.
Adobe Reader for iOS merely launches Apple Mail (the default mail app on iOS) to send a PDF document as an attachment. Adobe Reader has no control over whether or not to embed a preview image of an attachment in the body of an email message, which is known to cause the problem with Microsoft Outlook (on the receiving side). The same problem happens when you send a single-page PDF document as an attachment along with an email signature from Apple iBooks on iOS.
For now, all iPad/iPhone users can do is to avoid the problems by using the workarounds that are described in How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
When new and different problems with PDF attachments are reported by Adobe Reader for iOS users, we will update the document above.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

IPhoto books in iPhoto - The new Photos program only has square photo books. Will I be able to edit/order books with iPhoto after I upgrade to Photos?

I have many photo books created in iPhoto. These are rectangular shaped. The new Photos program only has square shaped books. After I upgrade to Photos, will I still be able to order books using iPhoto? Or, will Photos allow me to edit books in their original rectangle shape, and order them?

The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
See the Preview.
Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

List of Problems with new Web Mail

List of Problems with NEW Web Mail :
- At first doesn't open full page message list or retain full page as default setting, have to drag down bar
- Only shows 20 message lines after “pulling down” the divider, screen partially empty until I scroll down. It should show at least 26, preferably all available
- After moving bar, bar moves back up after going back to inbox (not delete message) after reading a message, have to move it down again, and again...
- Doesn't go to next message when delete message on screen is selected, no setting option for default to do this.
- There is a drop down to select which folder to move a selected email to. The initial display shows 7 usable choices, with the usual slider and arrow to show more choices. The space on the slider clearly shows more choices are present (actually about 20 or so are there), but any attempt to use the slider or arrow to see more choices causes the drop-down to instantly disappear. I can't move the selected field with arrow keys either. I can select any of the visible 7 choices, and move an email to only one of the 7. NOTE: This one works in both IE and Firefox, but if Verizon Webmail was fully web standard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards) compliant it would also work in my preferred browser, Mozilla Seamonkey, the direct descendant of the original Mozilla browser. Webmail should be FULLY web standard.
- Occasionally a message will move from inbox to trash, without NO indication or command to move them.
- Emails occasionally flash an error message and simply disappear - not to trash or other findable place, just disappear. No time to read the error message either.
- No way to set a whitelist for supposed spam emails, unless the whitelist for “Blocking” is the same. Very unclear.
- How can I switch my service back to the original, basic, email which works ok? I know it’s still there, since some of my other accounts still access it!!!
This seems my only way of getting this info direclty to the programming staff. If it doesn't actually do this, will SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THEM !?!
Thanks!

Contrarily, it is Verizon's, as well as other companies like Verizon whose customer base uses a wide variety of web browsers, web page designers' responsibility to use only standard W3C-recognized code and not to use non-standard non-W3C-recognized code, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer specific code, when designing their web pages. In my opinion based on my observations, Verizon's web page designers are too often guilty of using IE-specific code.

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
