Help with photos.  iPhone - iCloud - iPhoto - Email ?????

I'm a new mac user.   I switched over from Windows.   The process of obtaining photos from iCloud on my iMac seems like a big hassle.  So inconvenient I can't believe anyone would actually design it this way so maybe I'm just ignorant.
I take a photo with my iPhone.
The photo is uploaded through iCloud and appears in my iPhoto on my iMac.
Now I want to attach the photo to an email in the included mail program.
When I browse for the photo to attach, I look in "Photos" but iPhoto is grayed out.  Why?
So what I've been doing is saving the picture to my desktop then attaching it that way.
This seems like a REALLY stupid extra step.  What am I doing wrong here?  
Thanks in advance.

When I browse for the photo to attach, I look in "Photos" but iPhoto is grayed out.  Why?
Is this where you're seeing the grayed out iPhoto in Mail?
Or are you trying to use the Attach button to add a photo?
If the photo is in your iPhoto Library on your Mac then you can  select it and click on the Share button at the bottom right of iPhoto
and then on the Mail button in the next window:
and add it to a new email that way.

    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

  • Need help with my iPhone 5 and my Macbook Pro.

    You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. You'll get better support responses by posting to either the iTunes for Mac or iTunes for Windows forum. Which ever is more appropriate for your situation.

  • I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
    I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
    And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

    If the iPhone was hacked and unlocked via unofficial means, it has become locked again. Insert original SIM in the phone to activate with iTunes.

  • Can anyone help with my iphone 3gs activation?

    Hi, I am trying to get help with my iphone 3gs. It's not being activated.

    Find some place that will provide support for illegally unlocked phones, or if you decide that you don't want to do something illegal, get it unlocked legally, through the carrier it's locked to.

  • Need help with Photo Stream

    I am having issues with Photo Stream and iPhoto when the iPhoto library is stored on a Drobo NAS. When I access the library stored on the NAS I see Photo Stream on the menu and when I access the library I get a  message that tells me I need to switch Photo Stream to this Library. I did select to switch Photo Stream over to this NAS library and I did get a big blue button that is suppose to start Photo Stream but when I push it nothing happens.
    I have contacted Apple support and they said that this is the way Photo Stream works and recommended that I submit a request to have this feature added at Apple\Feedback, if it is something I would like to have. They said if enough people request this feature they will add it but that Photo Stream does not currently support an iPhoto library stored on a remote NAS or shared network drive.
    My question is has anyone found a work around for this?  If you would like to have this feature added to Photo Stream can you please submit your request to Apple so they will add it, perhaps a little sooner than later?

    I checked today and this issue has been solved with the latest iPhoto update from Apple. I am running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my Snow Leopard Server which is sharing a Drobo NAS. I am also running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my MBP running Lion and I can now open my iPhoto Library and Photostream will work with the library and even automatically create events and move all my Photostream pictures into these events within the Library. I can then close the Library on my MBP and open the same Library from my Snow Leopard server and the new Events are there and I can move them around with no problem. Thank you Apple for this fix.   Even though I cannot deal with Photostream directly from the Snow Leopard server this is a very eligant work around.

  • Update on help with PHP to send an email

    On Jan 9th Iasked for help Asking for help with PHP to send an email wanting to send myself an email when a particular web page was opened.The group gave me lots of ideas / suggestions but unfortunately I was not able to make it work the way I wanted. But.. with perseverance.. made it work. The original PHP code I wanted to use was:
    <?php mail('[email protected]','Subject of the e-mail','This is the body of the e-mail!'); ?>
    After much trial and error. this is what I found works.. for me at any rate. My log in sets a cookie that welcomes my user back by name so I ended up using that information with this:
    <?php
    if (isset($_COOKIE["last_in"])) {
      $user = $_COOKIE["last_in"];
    mail('[email protected]','News Page',"$last_in");
    ?>
    Again, thank you for all the help with my initial question.. there are a multitude of ways to accomplish a task, and for me this is the one I was looking for.

  • HELP with photo titles

    I just imported a bunch of photos, and they all have alphanumeric titles straight from the camera (For example, DSCN0789.JPG). I decided to change all the titles to somewhat describe the photo. I did this in the information pane.
    All the titles are changed with no problem in iPhoto, but when I go to my iPhoto library in the finder, all the photos still have the DSCNxxxx.JPG title. Aren't the titles supposed to update in the finder/iPhoto library folder when you make a change in the iPhoto application?
    Also, when I changed the title, I deleted .JPG. Is that ok?
    Thanks for the help!!

    xixi
    But why are you rooting through the iPhoto Library Folder trying to figure out the numbers when there are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    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.
    In the case of uploading, I suggest the File -> Export option. This allows you to use the title as a filename, and also to make other choices - including resize the pics. iPhoto produces a copy to the desktop, and then upload that. Afterwards, trash the copy on the desktop.
    No double work, easy peasy.

  • Help with Photos Uploaded to Facebook?

    Hello everyone I am new to the forum and relatively new to MAC.
    Can somebody help me with my question.
    I have quite a lot of photos stored on my Macbook and and most of the 'albums' are uploaded to facebook too. I would like to know if I deleted some of my album files full of photos - would the ones on Facebook still show up - both on my computer AND on my facebook albums.
    I feel if I remove them from my computer then I may lose them off my facebook page too?
    I want to burn all my photo's to disk to free up space on my Macbook.
    If anyone understands my question and can advise I would be grateful.
    Many thanks.
    Karen

    Ah thank you TD... but this is not the reply I was hoping for!!! Forgive my ignorance but I still don't understand...
    Let me explain. For intstance I have a file of photos in my iPhoto albums - I then hightlighted all of those pics and clicked the FaceBook icon and 'that album' then got uploaded to my Facebook photos.. this then shows up on my iPhotos as having TWO lots of that album stored. If I wanted to put the album on disk and then remove it from my album list in iPhoto's BUT the FB album would still be there - would it mean that that the FB album would also be removed. I can't really explain it properly here but I hope you know what I mean.
    Next question... I have thought about an external drive - a friend has suggested that BUT I don't really understand how they work, would I have to have it connected to my laptop all the time OR just when I wanted to view/sort/upload my photos and this goes for my Itunes files too... I have a lot of songs stored there also!!
    I wish I knew more about computers and MAC lol
