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.

    how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

    You have two options:
    1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
    2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

  • Touch 2: How Do I save a email Photo Attachmt?

    Hello.
    Although I've tried twice to "Save Screen Image" while viewing a JPEG attachment to an email, I cannot find it file anywhere on my Touch 2. I have even used the Search Phone app, but it only found the original email sitting in my inbox.
    Has anyone discovered how to save an email file attachment?
    Thanks for any thoughts on this. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try this... open the email so you see the pic as an attachment, tap and hold on the attachment a a little "save as" button should pop up... tap on this and you shoiuld get a save as page which will allow you to choose main memory or storage card (you'll see that if you minimise the keyboard) and you can then select the folder in which you want to save it etc.
    Hope that helps,

  • How do I save a jpg photo into iphoto?

    My friend sent me some photo's through her email & they are all saved in jpg. So I do I save those photos into my iphoto? & I also can't get the whole control+command+4 for the grab screen shot so if I can get some help on that two that would be awesome!!! Thanks

    If you are using Mail as your email client, open the email that your friend sent you and you will see the option to save the attachments (the photos). When you click on the "Save" buton, a drop down menu will appear with the option to save the photo to iPhoto. That's it.
    For Screen shots, you only need to use the Apple application "Grab" which is in your Utilities folder (Finder->Applications->Utilities->Grab). http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh364.html

  • HT1229 how do i save all my photos in iPhoto to a USB?

    How do I save and transfer all my photos in iPhoto to a USB?

    Do you want to save the photos or your complete iPhoto Library?
    To backup the library on an USB thumbsdrive, select it in the Finder and drag it to the icon of the thumbsdrive. Only make sure, the drive is formatted correctly. By default it will be formatted for windows systems and not MacOS Extended (Journaled) as required for photo libraries, see:  Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture or iPhoto.

    I have received 10 photos by email, all of which I want to put into my library as one event. How do I do that?

    Save them from email to a folder. Then import the folder.

  • Can't save emailed photos to iPhoto

    The computer is an iBook G3, 900 MHz, 40 GB hard drive running OS X v.10.4.11 with Mail 2 and iPhoto 2. This is a computer which I am trying to set up for a friend.
    I recently posted a similar question in the iPhoto forum thinking the problem might be with version of iPhoto that originally shipped with the iBook, but to date have received no replies. I am now wondering if it's a Mail problem rather than an iPhoto problem.
    If the computer receives an emailed photo, I get the "Save" button and if I click on it, I also get the "Add to iPhoto" option. However, if I select the "Add to iPhoto" option, nothing happens. The photo is not added to the iPhoto library.
    There is also an external 120 GB FireWire external drive associated with this computer. My niece did the original installation on the boot drive, which I believe was just an erase and install from a retail Tiger disc. I had to restore the iLife applications from the Jaguar system disc. I then came across this KB article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2475
    Thinking that was the problem, I took the external disk and did a fresh installation starting from the Jaguar system discs and then upgrading to Tiger and updating all the software. The external drive now has a full installation on it including OS 9.
    Same thing--I cannot simply save a photo to iPhoto. I also noticed that if I go to Mail>Preferences>Fonts and Colors and set preferences for larger fonts, this also does not work. However, I am able to put the magnifier in the Mail tool bar and this does work to enlarge text. This is true for both the internal and external hard drive.
    My friend is new to Macs and new to computers, so I would like to make Mail and iPhoto as simple as possible for him to use.
    We're using a GMail IMAP account if that has any bearing.
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't believe so--it's a fresh installation of the OS on both hard drives. I downloaded iStatPro and Maintidget on both drives and SMART Reporter and Smart Utility on the built in drive as well, but I wouldn't expect any of these to have anything to do with how mail works.
    It's possible I somehow made some sort of an error when I set up Mail-- I followed the GMail instructions. Not sure where to look for something like this.
    To be more specific about what I do, I click on the gray triangle to the right of "Save", and I get a drop down menu with the photos and the option of "Save to iPhoto" at the bottom of the list. I go down and click on the "Save to iPhoto" and nothing happens.
    I know the iBook G3 is doing this because I was trying to show my friend how to add emailed photos to his iPhoto library and it just doesn't work.
    I also have a different iBook G4 running Tiger, and with both iPhoto 6 and iPhoto 8, I can add emailed photos to iPhoto in this way.
    I'm wondering if I need to find my friend a newer version of iPhoto--maybe iPhoto 5. I'm wondering if iPhoto 2 is the problem--maybe this feature doesn't work on it. That's why I tried my question on the iPhoto forum first, but so far no response, and also no response to some other questions about iPhoto 2.
    Yes, I did repair permissions on both drives until there was nothing left to repair.
    Thanks for the response--I am very puzzled by this.

  • HT201317 How do I save my older photos to photo stream?

    How do I save my older photos to photo stream in iphone 4

    Why would you want that, it will not hold them for over 30 days anyway.
    But if you are completely crazy you just need to email them to yourself and you ll get them in your camera roll and photostream. I am pretty sure you can also share them to camera roll, just can't remember how.

  • How can I move an emailed photo to my hard drive?

    I am using yahoo mail on Firefox. I want to save an emailed photo.

    Ah! Bootable clone!! I don't think that you can use a compressed image for that, i.e., the system can't uncompress itself on the fly. And Disk Utility's images aren't bootable per-se.
    Try using SuperDuper ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22126 ). I have over 6 bootable images of past and present startup volumes, spread over as many partitions in three external firewire HD's, created with that program. It is usually much faster to create a complete backup that way. Also a good reason to add an extra drive to the system, expecially since they've dropped so much in price. Go for a 500GB, 750GB, or the big 1TB whopper, stick it into one of your G5's bays (if available), partition it and clone away.
    If all the partitions are available to the system, you can select which to boot from by pressing the Option key before the "bong" sound at startup.

    Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll.
