Email photo as attachment

I email photos all the time out of iPhoto.  Sometimes people (usually on PC's) cannot retrieve the jpg as an attachment.  It is embedded in the email and they can't remove it or download it.  I have tried emailing it directly from iPhoto or starting in Mail and attaching as an attachment.  In both cases, it embeds in the email and they can't get it out.  I now have an important project where I HAVE to email usable pictures.  How can this be solved?
I have iPhoto '09 vs. 8.1.2

Plain text messaes sent from Apple mail have attached photos that PC and other users can open or save and use

  • Email photo as attachment to open with photoshop on pc

    I AM TRYING TO EMAIL PHOTOS as attachment, without the photo in full view - my recipient is requesting it as an ATTACHMENT - jpeg or otherwise - he is having trouble dragging it off - and opening it into photoshop - he's not a MAC guy (pity him) - but he can't seem to get my photos into photoshop - I've even tried sending them through my kodakgallery website as an album.
    And I've used the print menu to make them pdf - but then he says they only open in Acrobat Reader ...

  • Email photos as attachment not embedded

    I apologise, I am sure this has been asked many times, but I cannot find the answer....
    Using gmail is it possible to email photo as a jpeg attachment so the recipient can save it rather than embedded?

    maggsie
    This is a setting in the application you use for sending Mail. gmail is an email service, So what app are you employing to use gmail?
    If it’s Apple’s Mail, then the trick is to send Plain Text emails.
    However it is worth noting that you have no control over how an email appears to the person at the receiving end - that’s all about their email settings

  • Emailing photos as attachment files

    How do I attach an iphoto as a jpeg file attachment to an email that can be opened and managed by a pc windows user? All my email photos show as actual photos imbedded in the email and can't be taken out of the email by the pc user.

    Welcome to Apple discussions,
    I assume you are using the built in "Email" feature of iPhoto to send your images. While the Mail window shows the images as if they were part of the body of the message, the pictures are still attached just like any other email. I use this feature to send pictures to those of my relatives that use Windows all the time.
    If the person you are sending to says they do not see the pictures you can do the following (Note: This is not necessary for using Windows machines but if the person says they can't see it's all I can suggest.):
    1.) Make a new folder on your desktop (File > New Folder)
    2.) Highlight the pictures you are going to send to the person
    3.) Go to File > Export > File Export and export the pictures into that new folder
    4.) Click on the folder on the desktop and go to File > Compress
    _This will create a .ZIP file with the same name as the folder.
    _You can drag this .ZIP file into your email message and send it.
    NOTE: If the images are too large the file will not send. Most email providers will not let you send send attachments over 10 MB. To see how big the ZIP file is, click on it once and then go to File > Get Info and note the size. If it is over 10 MB you might want to send several smaller emails with fewer pictures or when you use the File > Export feature of iPhoto change the "Size" to something smaller.
    Finally, If you are a MobileMe member you could make a Web Gallery of your pictures and send that to the Windows user.
    Hope that helps.

    I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.

    I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage.  Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever.  After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed.  They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself.  After that, the pics go over imessage.  My own Iphone didn't have the problem.  We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

  • How do i add a photo to an email as an attachment and not an image?

    How do I add a photo to an email as an attachment? Everytime I try to and the attachment it puts the photo in the email as an image not a file attachment.

    Control+Click or right click on the image in the email and select 'view as icon'. Also make sure you have 'Send Windows-friendly attachments' selected in Mail>Edit>Attachments.

    Windows Phone 8.1 is so full of surprises and opens the Windows Phone faithful up to a new world of apps.
    Video editors and
    file managers are just some of the new app categories possible thanks to Windows Phone 8.1. We’ve seen an official video editing app from Microsoft already, but today we finally get Files – the official file manager for Windows Phone.

  • TS3276 I need to send a photo via email as an attachment and not it shown in the body of the email?

    I need to send a photo via email as an attachment and NOT have it shown in the body of the email?  Please help.

    To make attachments not appear in the body of the e-mail as a default, try using the Applications/Utilities/Terminal command below. I suggest copy and paste.

    Hello,
    I just upgrading to ios 8 (8.0.2) and I am now unable to send email with an attachement (photo) through activesync (zarafa).
    It works fine with smtp or through activesync but without attachement.
    Is there any solution?
    Thx.

    It worked fine with the last version of iOS 7 and still works fine with outlook connected from a PC to the same activesync server.

  • How to email photos to your mobile me account from a computer eye-fi card

    For use with Eye-Fi SD Camera Cards! Set up your eye-fi account first and check it by uploading a photo or two to see that is working. Set your preferences according to your card capabilities. Ie. Upload to computer via folder or iphoto. Upload to photo sharing service. We'll upload to Mobile Me's Gallery via email. If you want the albums to be seen by the public make sure you have selected this public option according to eye-fi/Mobile me settings/instructions etc.
    To try and follow the directions given by mobile me's help menu under the heading: Adding photos via email or mobile phone to your Gallery, is in error. It took a couple of days to resolve issues with the directions because they tell you to look for buttons with text on them which don't exist. Some of the directions are copied here with corrections.
    First, in iPhoto, make a Mobile Me Gallery Album. You can do this by making a folder under the File Menu of iPhoto, clicking on it to select the album, and then under the share menu in iPhoto click on Mobile Me. We will only sync once to create the Mobile Me Gallery folder for Eye-Fi to auto-upload Eye-Fi photos via the Eye-Fi Manager/or email. This means iphoto will Sync and update itself according to the contents on Mobile Me Gallery (I set my iPhoto's RSS tab to Sync every hour).
    If you select your chosen upload Mobile Me Album folder in iPhoto and click on Mobile Me under the Share Menu to sync it again it will make a duplicate album with the same name which could lead to confusion about which folder we are setting up to sync with. All we need here is to create an Album in Gallery and sync it once so that it adds the Album to the Mobile Me Gallery's drop down menu on iPhoto. You can edit the contents of later if need be by adding or deleting photos, dragging photo in/out etc. You can delete this initial album in your Album's drop down menu, (Not the Mobile Me Gallery Drop Down Menu) after the first sync because smart albums etc. will not sync except manually.
    Once the Mobile Me Gallery Folder is created you can use Safari or iPhoto to manage it. Go to your Gallery web address via Safari or Firefox etc.: Your Mobile Me Gallery site should be something like: http:// gallery.me.com/YourMemberName. Once logged in, select the Sunflower icon in the upper left area of the Safari/browser window to load your Mobile Me Gallery and leave it on that page. We'll be back to it later.
    In iPhoto, go to the Mobile Me Gallery drop down window (left pane), single click the photo album to which you want to email photos to. If you want to change the name, click again on the name and change it to something like "Uploads" and do not remove it, delete it, rename it, or otherwise render iPhoto and/or Mail and/or Eye-Fi unable to find or sync to it.
    In Safari, choose Safari Menu, Preferences then the RSS tab. I have mine set to "default RSS reader is Mail" and I selected Check for Updates every 30 minutes.
    '"Click the “Send to Album” button above the photo album, and then follow the onscreen instructions."'<-- This is from the Mobile Me help menu and I'm assuming they are talking about your web browser, Safari etc. So go to your web browser's display of your Mobile Me Gallery.
    Corrections: THERE ARE NO 'Send to Album" BUTTONS! In Safari, in the Mobile Me Gallery window, inside the black band across the upper part of the window, in the center of that black band is a very small grey rectangle with what looks like switches. To the left of it is a rectangle with an Up Arrow. If this Up Arrow is greyed out it means you have not set it to upload to an email address which we'll do now. Click on the rectangle icon that looks like switches beside the up arrow icon. This will display a settings window when you click on it. Click on it now.
    In this new settings window, Under Album Name: under Allow: click the square box beside: "Adding of photos via email or iPhone"
    Further down the list, under "Show", click the check box beside: "Email address for uploading photos". You will need to find this email address and it will need to be displayed for that purpose. You may have to set this check box a couple of times if you've had problems like I've had with it being turned off again. It may take some time for the servers or whatever to update.
    Under "Advanced" click on the program you'd like it to sync with. It says "Syncs with" beside this check box Ie. Select iPhoto or (Aperture if you have it). Then click publish. When you check the up arrow icon it should no longer be greyed out.
    Mobile Me's Help directions refer to a "Send to Album" button. There is no "Send to Album" text on any button as given in the Mobile Me Help Menu. There is a small square with an Up -Arrow inside the box. I guess this is suppose to mean "Send to Album"? In iPhoto you can also drag the photo from somewhere in your collection, desktop or whatever into this Mobile Me Gallery upload folder in iPhoto and sync from there. For now, let's use Safari or your browser and login to Mobile Me and access your gallery that way.
    If you are using Eye-Fi you will need to setup Mail to handle the process of forwarding photos from Eye-Fi's server to this new email address (I'll give you info on how to find it in a sec). This email address will upload photos sent to you by Eye-Fi's server/manager which you will instruct Mail to forward the message (attached photos and all) directly to your selected Mobile Me Gallery Album (via the new email address) and thereafter auto sync with iPhoto. (it also uploads the eye-fi logo photo in each email... sorry about that).
    If you are using a phone you will need to record this email address. To find the email address you need to upload a test photo now. In your browser window click on that up arrow icon in the black band on your screen. This is the upload window. Give it a few seconds to load and click on the choose button or drag a photo onto it. Let it complete the upload.
    Go back to that small switch like grey box in Safari (or your browser) mentioned earlier. It once did not contain an email address but now it does! Once it has accepted the photo upload there will be an email address for this folder near the middle of the window...(this is why you should not alter this folder, delete it, re-add it later etc. because it could invalidate the email address (I'm assuming.) Hold down the Control key on our keyboard and mouse click once on this email address which will copy the email address to the clipboard which we'll need later to paste into Mail once we set up new mail rules.
    In the left pane in iPhoto is the Mobile Me Gallery drop down window. In there is the sync folder you setup. There will be an icon of radiating radio waves to the right of each folder item in your Mobile Me Gallery. If you want to sync any folder at any time just click on its radio wave. The radio wave icon will become a rotating wheel, showing that the album is being synced.
    OK. I'm going to set preferences for a new rule in mail. When it receives an email with a photo from Eye-Fi's website Manager, we will tell Mail to mark the email as read, turn its background green, forward the email with photo attached to the email address given by the little grey settings icon and then run an applescript to verbally say the photo was uploaded.
    Open Mail. Under the Mail Menu select "Preferences". This opens a window. Select "Rules" on the far right end of this window. Click on Add Rule. Make a name for this rule in the appropriate box. Something like Eye-Fi upload will do. You can name it anything you want.
    When you setup Eye-Fi you will have chosen an email address. We need to have Mail determine the account we will forward the photo from and the email address for our Mobile Me Gallery upload folder.
    Mail Rule #1. To enter the first rule click on the + button beneath the name of your rule. This adds a rule. In the leftmost dropdown window beside the - and + signs, choose From. The next window to the right: select "contains" and in the right most window enter [email protected]
    Rule #2. Click on the + button for the next rule. From left to right, in each drop down window, first select "Subject", then "contains" then enter "Complete camera upload" (minus the quotes). Spell "Complete camera upload" not "complete camera upload" because these are two different things.
    Rule #3. Following the same sequence as in rule #2, select "To" then "contains" then enter the email address you set up with the eye-fi manager website.
    Below the rules is this section where it says "Perform the following actions." We need to instruct Mail what to do.
    Following the sequence of drop down menus from left to right select: "Set Color" (spelt wrong. should be colour), select of background, select the colour you want. I chose green.
    Next click on plus to add another rule
    Click on the leftmost drop down window and select "Forward Message". A new drop down window to the right of it will say "to". Enter the email address you got from the window in your safari browser that is on the Mobile Me website in that switch like square, the settings window, (where you got the email address from). You can do this by clicking once in the window and then pressing the apple key and the "v" key at the same time. This will copy the address we pasted into the clipboard earlier, and it will paste the email address into this rule. This is where the photos will be directed via mail to upload onto our Mobile Me Gallery upload folder.
    On My computer when I pasted the email address into this box it turned red. But it still worked. No idea why it is red.
    Click on + again to add another rule. This time select "Mark as Read". Why not? Saves us having to do it.
    Click on + again to add a third rule. This time select "Run AppleScript" and click the choose button to select where the following applescript is saved and the name of the script. Pause here for a moment while we make the applescript and save it in documents folder or wherever you want. Just remember where you put it.
    Run the AppleScript editor in the AppleScript folder in the Applications folder in the Finder window.
    Copy this script into the main window, press compile to check for errors and then save it as a script file. The default should be script file anyways so you may not have to choose it. Just don't select app or some other format. We need the script format to run it from Mail.
    say "Hello Dave, This is Hal. Your photo has finished uploading."
    say "doh doh deh deh doh dah dah dah dah dah dah" using "Bad News"
    say ((current date) as string)
    You can change the name and what you want the computer to speak in the first line inside the quotes. Keep the Quotation Marks though!
    When Mail runs it will speak this message and the date/time.
    Enjoy!
    How it works. Eye-Fi manager can be set to select an email address to forward notifications of when it starts and stops uploading. You must do this for this process to work. We tell Mail that when it receives a message from Eye-Fi stating the upload is complete, that it should then forward the message with attached photos to the Mobile Me Gallery upload folder and carry out the Mail rules we created. The photos are then placed in the Mobile Me Gallery and can be synced with iPhoto so you don't have to set Eye-Fi to upload to Mobile Me. Now you can set Eye-Fi to upload to another photo sharing website if you want to (there's about 20 of them now). I also tell Eye-Fi to save a copy in an Eye-Fi folder in my pictures folder as an extra precaution just incase something goes wrong with the email system. There is a drop down window that appears in the upper right side of the screen when the Eye-Fi manager uploads the photo. If you miss seeing it, don't worry. Hal will let you know via email and voice!
    Depending on the Eye-Fi card you bought, it may or may not have some features. I have the Eye-Fi home card. You can check their website for the capabilities of the card you have.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out this Apple document: MobileMe: Setting up MobileMe email on your Mac.
    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 or later), 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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Email photos from iPhoto 8 with Verizon Fios internet

    I am totally new to the wonderful mac world. I have a new iMac with Verizon Fios internet. When I try to automatically setup for emailing photos it tries to setup something with "incoming.yahoo....
    How do I go about setting up email sharing of photos?

    mrmole
    To email photos from within iPhoto you need to use one of the following applications for email:
    1. Apple's Mail (it comes with your Mac)
    2. Entourage
    3. AOL
    4. Eudora
    Only these four apps allow direct emailing from within iPhoto. You make your choice in the iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General pane.
    OF course, you need to set up these clients to work for email with your own email settings. Fir details on how to do that you'll ned to consult the Help on the particular app.
    If you use Web-based email, you cannot email from within iPhoto. In that case you can use one, some or any of the following:
    For 10.5 users: 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!
    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. 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. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    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.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    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.

  • Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

    Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
    Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

    Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

  • 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)

  • How do I save an emailed photo to iPhoto

    When I select the option to "Add to iPhoto" in Mail, nothing happens. Am I missing something?

    FYI - I sent this message to jane5047:
    I think I now understand the problem you are having. I did a test photo email and sure enough, when I selected the Add to iPhoto option under the Save that appears in the top of the Mail Message (the one beside Quick Look for an attachment), iPhoto did not open and the photo did not "Add to iPhoto".
    The way that I got it to "Add to iPhoto" was to first left-click Quick Look. At the top of the Quick Look of the photo there is a button that says Open with Preview. Instead of left-clicking on this, I right-clicked on it and a menu appeared with the "Add to iPhoto" option here. I selected it from here, iPhoto opened and the photo added fine.
    Not sure why the "Add to iPhoto" does not work from the Save menu in the email message in Mail but it does work from the Quick Look menu. At any rate, this is yet another option for saving emailed photos to iPhoto.
