Error trying to send pictures in iPhoto after 10.5.6 update

After applying the 10.5.6 update (which did hang during it, forcing me to cycle power).
Any attempt to e-mail pictures from iPhoto gets this error:
"Mail got an error: AppleEvent handler failed". Only a cancel button to click.
Anybody seen this?
Thanks in advance.

Richard,
In another topic, the poster had the same trouble with removing the flawed version of Mail. So as was required in that case, try deleting the Mail application from the Application folder -- this does not impact your Mail folder where the messages are stored. Of course you will have quit Mail before deleting the application.
Next, put in your Leopard installation disk (a DVD), and when it opens look for the folder with the name Optional Installs. Open that folder and scroll through the available applications for individual installation -- Mail will be one of them. Install Mail, but immediately install the Combo Update again before trying to launch Mail.

Thanks. I cross-posted this question in the mail.app forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1834063&tstart=0
And they pointed out these support articles:
(general what-to-do if the update fails or acts funny)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2383
(specifically what to do if mail acts funny after updating to 10.5.6)
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2486
I don't have any mail plugins. So that rules out some of what the articles suggested, and your suggestions.
However, my mail.app program is not the version that is in the update! So, I am re-downloading it and will re-apply it first.
Hopefully it will apply smoothly this time...
Thanks for the help. Will report back the results.

I been trying to send pictures thru email but it always say my email server didn't recognize my username /password combination... I don't know how to fix it... please help.

I need help... I been trying to send pictures in iphoto thru email but it says that may emai server didn't recognize my username/password combination.

What email service? There have been many reports of issues with Yahoo mail with iPhtoo and with other clients -
The general answer for iPhoto '11 with e-mail issues is
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

Hi Guys, Im trying to send a 80pages IPhoto book to the store but the uploading fails, I tried several times and always a message "an error occurred" without clarification, can you help me?

Hi Guys, Im trying to send a 80pages IPhoto book to the store but the uploading fails, I tried several times and always a message "an error occurred" without clarification, can you help me?
Is there any size limit? or a limit of time to upload? (as it takes more than one hour!!!)

Preview the book -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
if it is good boot into safe mode, preview again (only limited fonts are loaded in safe mode) and upload

Network authentication failed error message when trying to send picture messages

I have a family member who is trying to send picture messages from Dubois, WY. Verizon's map shows that Dubois is in the extended enhanced services area. I am guessing that this may be one of those instances where the coverage map is not 100% accurate. Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions as to what the problem might be or how to resolve it.

Customers have the ability to take pictures / videos anywhere. However, messages can only be sent, received, or uploaded, while in the Verizon Wireless National Enhanced Services Rate and Extended Network Coverage Area.
Try dialing *228 send and option 2 to update the PRL on the phone. Updating the PRL or Preferred Roaming List, ensures the phone is getting the best service possible.
You can also check the coverage area at the link below:

How do I send pictures from iphoto to a group via email instead of to just one individual? I can't type in more than one name or send the pictures to a group.

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.

Triing to send pictures threw e mail but it tells me I need a sender verification number. What is it

I am triing to send pictures threw eliments 9 and it tells me I need a sender verification number. What is it and where do I find it?

Hey,
Just to elaborate, as you have added the email id after selecting Adobe email services. You will get an email from '[email protected]'. In this mail there will be an alphanumeric code. This is the verification code asked by Organizer. If this email is not in the inbox then check your spam folder.

Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto".

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported. the file is in the iphoto library folder" also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

Launch iPhoto the the Option key held down and create a new library. See if you can import those photos into it. If you can then your current library is damaged.
If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2. delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Fix #3
Use iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When trying to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time, I chose to use my Yahoo server, but I mistakenly entered the wrong password. Since then, everytime I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination". How can I correct this so I can email pictures using my IPhoto?

iPhoto Menu -> Prefences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.

Hi! I am trying to print pictures from iPhoto. I follow the directions and select a photo and click file-print-but it doesn't give me any size/printing options. Instead I get a message that says "no themes available". Do I need to install themes?

Hi-I am trying to print pictures from iphoto. I selected a picture and tried file-print. But instead of giving me size/layout options, it gave me a message, "no available themes". Not sure what to do next--something I need to install?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Why are my emails aborted when I'm trying to send pictures?

Why are my emails aborted when im trying to send pictures?

What is the size of the email attachments you are trying to send? Many email providers limit the message content size some where in the 2-3 MB range, some larger some smaller. If your photos are multile MBs that could cause the provider to reject the email.
Try resaving a rejected photo to a smaller size/resolution and see if it goes successfully.
