Emailing movies in iphoto

I want to email short movies located in iphoto and want them to appear larger than postage stamp size.

I'm not sure there's a question there, so I'll simply observe that emailing videos is not really a good idea. These files, by their very nature, are quite large, even for short clips, and can cause no end of trouble for the receipients if their mailbox is near full or limited in size.
Better idea: upload the video to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and send them a link. Or use a service like YouSendIt.

How do i email movies from iphoto?

i have taken some short movies on my still camera and imported them into iphoto. how do i email them?

bibbi:
You have to export them to the desktop and manually add them to the email. When exporting either drag the thumbnail to the desktop or export using the Format=Original option.
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.

How to resize and email short movies from iPhoto 08

Hi all,
I've just switched from PC to Mac. With PC i used to use ACDSee as my picture and short movie editor.
Similarly on Mac i have downloaded pictures and short movies to iPhoto. Where with pictures I have no trouble resizing and emailing, I can not resize and email my short movies. I have browsed trough number of forums but can not find anything on resizing and emailing movies from iPhoto.
Trouble if using iMovies is that I have both photos and movies on the camera and when transferring it will take time to sort them.
If someone knows an easy or even hard way around this problem please help.?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto will not edit the Movies in any way.
You can easily find all the Movies in your library.
File -> New Smart Album
Keyword -> Is -> movie
as each movie is automatically given a 'movie' keyword on import.
iMovie will them show that Smart Album in it's media browser, so finding them from it is easy.

How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto with Lion? I've lost the drop down option.Karen

How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto using Lion? I've lost the previous drop down option.
Thank you, Karen

There are multiple ways. I am not at my Lion machine at the moment, so I am not sure I can remember them all, but here is one: Click on the "Details" button in the upper right corner of the message. If there are image attachments, the drop down menu should appear.
Or, try right click on the image. I think I saw "Add to iPhoto" in the contextual menu.

LarryHN I not understand your advice
iPhoto preferences>
Accounts>
there I have Facebook and MobileMe as Accounts
I tried adding new account and the only options (Apple related) offered are MobileMe and Email going
EMail>

using iCloud doesn't work i.e. the account sets up but still cannot send email through iPhoto
I am registered with iCloud and it works fine in other applications
I am reluctant to delete MobileMe from iPhoto since if I do so I will not be able to add it again I still have photos etc in my MobileMe iDisk which I will need to move somewhere else soon with demise of MobileMe
Thakns for your advice

Emailing pictures using iPhoto

I am trying to email pictures from iPhoto. I get the message that the email server does not recognize the username/password. I have two email accounts, so I am not sure which account iPhoto is using and where to look.

In the iPhoto/Accounts prference pane move the account that you want to use to the top of the list of accounts.
Or you can set the mail client in iPhoto's General prefereneces to use Mail as the client:

Cannot send email from within iPhoto

Using OX X 10.7.5 cannot send email from within iPhoto. I get this error message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."
If I change the preference to use email, everything goes fine but I lose the formatting feature.

iPhoto Menu ->

Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. Check out the Stationery...

I am trying to move my iPhoto library

I am trying to move my iPhoto library to a new hard drive. Should be simple, but I am getting the error message ' some date in iPhoto library can't be read or written' is there any way around this? J

What format is the external drive?
A common workaround is to use a back up utility to copy the Library for you.

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.

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)
