Emailing photo's from iPhoto 11

When emailing a photo from within iPhoto, there are now some new format options, but no record of sending the pictures. No record is placed in the corresponding sent box in Mail, as it was in previous versions. The best option is to bcc, something I wouldn't remember I'd done six months later when I am looking for a record of pictures or documents sent to i.e., work colleagues. Why on earth would anyone think this is a good idea? It beggars belief that this crucial and simple operation was either overlooked or deemed unnecessary.
Also, when selecting a file size, you can only see what the file size is going to be (kb/mb) if using a non apple camera. If the photo was taken on an iPhone, you can still select a size to send, but only the original file size is actually shown - meaning you are unable to judge the ideal option. In other words, iPhoto seems unable to communicate with an iPhone.

Hi and thanks for the quick response. I'm running the most up to date version of iPhoto (9.1.1).
I know that I can drag & drop a photo into mail, this is a reasonable enough workaround I guess. It's just I would prefer to send direct from iPhoto - for speed mainly. In previous versions, if I clicked on 'Email' from within iPhoto, it would open either Mail or Entourage (set in prefs), a copy of the sent photo's would thus be placed in the sent box of the relevant account. Is there an option to do this?
The issue regarding the correct file size not being shown with iPhone shots seems to be a bug.

  • Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

    Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

    I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
    This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    Which iPhoto version did you update to?
    If it is iPhoto 9.6 open iPhoto's preferences, go to the Accounts pane and delete the email account.
    Now quit iPhoto, relaunch, and add the account back.
    You may have to restart the Mac for this to have effect.
    If you are using iPhoto as Mail client, you may want to switch to Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.
    This has been much more reliable in the past and less trouble.

  • I can't email photo's from iPhoto, the error msg I get is "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination".I tried different passwords but nothing works.

    Everthing else seems to work fine and can send regualr emails but when I go into iPhoto and say "Share" click on email and try and send it errors.
    I have tried several past and present passwords but it doesn't work.

    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

  • Mobile Me was my default email account, so if I did any emailing like trying to send a photo directly from iphoto it would send from the mobile me address.  Is there a way to set a different default email account now that mobile me is gone?

    We used Mobile Me for our default email.  So if you answered an ad from a site or tried to send a photo directly from iphoto, it would use the mobile me account. Now that its gone, can I set a different address as my default?

    WEll, MobileMe has been moved & still works in iCloud.
    Did you setrup an iCloud account?
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto.  First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

    I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available?  Any idea why that would be?

  • Cannot send photo's from iPhoto by email my server settings are correct

    I cannot send photo's by email or iCloud from iPhoto. My server is Virginmedia, i have spoken to them and they have checked my password and all settings and they are correct. They said it would better for me to contact Apple as something might have changed.
    If you could help me please as i am not too technical being nearly 80.
    Thank you

    Change the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane to Mail and try to email those photos again.

  • I have just ordered a photo book from iPhoto, do I not get an email confirmation?

    I have just ordered a photo book from iPhoto but after it generates nothing happens, has it sent? Do I not get an email confirmation?

    I solved the problem. Had nothing to do with Mac or iphoto. Problem must be my the internet connection to my provider.
    Upload at my office worked without any problem. One problem solved, now i am aware with a lot of discussions with my providers helpdesk  ;-)

  • When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

    When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2?  Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

    Update:  I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
    On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto").  This seems to have corrected the issue.  I'm not sure why.  Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

  • IPhoto 11 - when receiving photos sent from iPhoto 11- can't reply...

    My friend sent me photos directly from her iPhoto 11. When I went to reply to her email with the photos, I hit reply, but I am unable to type anything in. When I went to click out of Mail, it froze and I had to force quit.
    I called another friend who also uses iPhoto 11, and had her send photos from iPhoto 11, also, so I could see if it was just happening with one person. Turns out, the same thing happens.
    I open the email with the photos that were sent to me directly from iPhoto 11, and, again, I am unable to reply, and then, my Mail program freezes and I have to force quit.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Try sending yourself photos directly from iPhoto 11 and see what happens.
    (FWIW, I have iPhoto '09 ). My friends don't do the forums so I figured I'd post and try to find out what's wrong with iPhoto 11 and if it's a known issue. (they are both using iMacs- Mountain Lion)
    Thanks!

    No, it is not my email program. This has been tested out on other computers, as well. I spoke to a lot of folks who have iPhoto 11 and they said they have been having issues with people who can't reply to their emails ONLY when they send photos using iPhoto.
    These same people sent me photos as attachments, sans use of iPhoto and no problem. They also tested it by sending photos via iphoto to other friends as well, and, those people also can not reply to them, either, be it on a Mac or a PC, yet, when the photos are inluded as attachments or drag and dropped in, the emails are able to be replied to.
    Thanks, though, but there's nothing wrong my my email program.
    FWIW, they also sent themselves photos via iPhoto and had the same problem. It's iPhoto 11.

  • Trying to figure how photos "travel" from iPhoto to my iWeb photo pages

    Greetings,
    I have I believe gotten t understand just about all I need for now about building web sites with iWeb and its templates (for now). Works well. I am publishing to my .Mac account (for now).
    Now, I want to fully understand how photos albums/pages are kept up/coordinated, on my computer, on .Mac Gallery and on the actual .Web site (on .Mac)
    Here what I have done so far in regard to posting and upkeeping photos (works well!):
    Selected pics from iPhoto >>> Made albums on my MBP
    Published Albums on Web Gallery
    Built website with iWeb
    Built photo pages/my album page (indexing)
    Inserted my Web Gallery albums into my website
    Published the whole thing on .Mac.
    My questions:
    *1. Somewhere in Tutorials, it says that: "with .Mac Web Gallery, you can get the shots you wish you had by allowing friends to contribute photos (from their browsers, email). And, whenever new photos are added, they are automatically sinced to your iPhoto08 library".* I am assuming same should/would happen when my iWeb site viewers upload theirs pics (which I am encouraging!) to my Web galleries via my iWeb site. I do not see that happen however. Web gallery gets of course updated by such uploads, +but NOT iPhoto library.+
    2. Some other iWeb Tutorial states *"If you are a .Mac member, you can publish photos/movies from iPhoto and iMovie directly to your Web Gallery. When a Gallery photo album is updated, your website is updated automatically with the new content."*. In the case of my site viewers' uploads to my gallery, works OK, but +my site's pages do not show the new photos.+. Any way to better coordinate my .Mac Web galleries with my (also) .Mac Web Pages?
    I hope this is clear enough. I have LOOKED for some more info/tutorial about iWeb/Web Galleries/Viewer photo uploads from my Web site, but have not founded anything specific.
    Thanks for any advice!
    - Roger Y

    _*Thanks a lot, Wyodor for your detailed reply.*_
    It just happens that I have gotten quite fond of the way iLife as a suite - along with its online (.Mac in my case) components) seem to keep a good, purposeful flow of things going.
    So, indeed, as I am currently looking at the stuff on my .Mac site, Web GAllery and My Pages respective materials are not actually linked in terms, especially, of allowing Web Gallery albums' updates to "flow" into My Pages areas.
    Too bad in a way! Unless I decide to use the Widget feature in iWeb to link my website photo pages specifically to Web Gallery albums - as suggested by Roddy. Currently I use iWeb template system - with Photo Pages and MyAlbums index.
    You stated:
    +"Your iWeb page shows the tiny player with your dotMac Webgallery.+
    +Click on the tiny player, and the full Web gallery opens."+
    Where is that button actually?
    "Your iPhoto library will be update updated vice versa."
    I'll have to check that out then!
    Thanks again!

  • What is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    what is the best way to email a video from iPhoto? It won't let me share a video!

    Size is not the issue. In the old iPhoto you used to be able to share a video and it would compress it to fit an email friendly size. It doesn't do that anymore from iPhoto. I miss that feature. I have to export the video from iPhoto to my desktop then take into the old Quicktime 7 to share in email. Crazy.
    It shouldn't be that complicated. I shouldn't have to find a work around. I guess apple wants to put  you in a box so you have to do it "their way" via uploading to iWeb or iCloud instead of emailing video.
    I don't like those options being taken away.  While the quality may suffer by compressing for email, it is still the most direct and unconvoluted way of sharing something fairly quickly. I don't want to have to post to YouTube or Vimeo or iCloud and send a link. Just compress the video and hit send in an email and be done with it.

  • IMovie '09 - How do I get photos in from iPhoto?  (It's not working!)

    Hi,
    I have seen posts about difficulties accessing photos in iMovie '09 but can't seem to get it to work for me. I added more photos to iphoto and they won't show up in imovie. I put them in new folders then, but the folders show up with nothing inside. Then I try and drag and drop from iphoto and finder - into all sections of imovie and it still won't work. How do I do this?? I tried editing each photo in iphoto to see if that work work, but no luck still. I really want to add the last few photos to my project!
    Thanks for any thoughts or insight!!

    Hi,
    The problem can be that there is an '&' in the path to your iPhoto-library. I renamed some of my albums in iPhoto. For me this worked, but I'm still using iLife '06.
    If this doesn’t help you can also just drag the photo’s from iPhoto into iMovie of iDVD.
