How to save jpeg email attachment to iphoto?

i'm an iphoto (and mac os x) newbie, and i can't figure out how to save a jpeg attachment that someone has sent me so the image shows up in iphoto. what is the easiest way to do this? i'm using apple mail and iphoto 6 on a macbook pro running os 10.4.5. although occasionally i'd like to save jpegs from my web-based hotmail account too. thanks
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

The easiest way to do this in Mail is; next to the attachment field in Mail, you'll see Save & Slideshow. Use the Save pull down menu to "add to iPhoto" & the Slideshow is just what it says, it will do a slideshow of the photos in your email attachment.
I don't use Hotmail, but I'm sure all you do is click on the image, File>Save>Desktop. From there you can drag the image into iPhoto. Or simply drag the image from Hotmail to your Desktop or directly into iPhoto.
I hope that was helpful.

How to save an email attachment to phone?

I have an email (from GMail) that contains a small audio file (mp3). How can I detach it and save it to the phone (SD card)?
Thanks.

Thanks to others on this community, the only way I know of is an application called "Download All Files" and it works as advertised.

How do I save an email attachment to iCloud

I am trying to save an email attachment to the cloud. How do I do that?

Save the email and forward it (along with the attachment) when you need to send a copy somewhere. Depending on the type of document it is, if you can open it in some app, and if that app is programmed to sync to iCloud, then that's a way to get it to icloud. Just tap and hold your finger on the attachment icon (in mail) and from the pop up menu choose the app to open it in - if there is an app capable of opening it.
For Pages, Numbers, etc. formatted files, you can open them in the appropriate Apple app, and if you have set up an iWork page on icloud.com, then you can save the doc to iCloud via the Apple app (Pages, Numbers, etc.).

How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook?

How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook (bought around 2002) ?
The screen from the old ibook doesn´t work anymore (logicboard problem I guess).
I saved everything else with starting it in target modus. That worked fine.
I want to delete the files after that as well, because I wanna give away the old ibook and don´t want anyone to read my emails!
Little helpers I have:
A running MacBook
External Screen (and cables to connect)
Fire Wire Cable

Don't know how helpful this will be but I often copy mail from one computer to another, I drag the mail from the mail window to the other computers drop box, then from the other computer double click it and mail asks me what I want to do with it, of course without a screen you'd need to use back to my mac.
If you don't have back to my mac running, you could set up a second user account on the newer mac, import everything via target mode as suggested by c above, and then drag the mail to the first user account drop box.

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.

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.

I have an iPhone 4, and I'm able to save photos that have been emailed to me on the iPhone. However, I cannot figure out how to save a video attachment that has been emailed to me on the iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an iPhone 4 and I can save photos (to my camera roll) that have been emailed to me on the iPhone. However, I've been unable to figure out how to save video attachments that have been sent to me on the iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently not. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPad thatbive upgraded to iOS 5.0.1. While it is reported that if you click on the attached video file and hold that you will be presented a "Save Video" option, all I see is "Quick Look". Thinking it might have been GoodReader, I unknow installed GoodReader but still no option. I wonder if this yet another feature in iOS 5 that doesn't work on upgrades

How to save jpeg files in iPhoto

I would like to be able to make changes in Photoshop and then be able quickly save a jpeg file in my iPhoto library (Version 9). From what I could deduce, the only way to do this would be to save the file to my hardrive, then go to iPhoto, choose the import to library under the File menu and then locate the file I want to import. Is that really the quickest and easiest way to do this? Or is it possible to save the file directly to the iPhoto library from within the Photoshop program?

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

How do i delete email attachements on first gen iphone

Hello
Can someone here tell me how i can delete an attachement within an email message yet still keep the email?
I am using the apple email program connected to an exchange server.
I am also using an old first generation apple iphone with its final OS 3.1.3 ( i cannot put OS 4 on it)
All the answers i find to this question in google pertain to OS4 and the newer iphones.
Most the answers i have seen say that there is some "remove attachement", or "remove all attachments" button, which i dont see anywhere in my phone.
All my email message menu has is a refresh icon, mail folders icon, delete icon, reply icon, and create new message icon.
None of these icons have any remove attachment capabilities.
Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm surprised nobody has answered this yet.

How to read an email attachement

I cannot read any email attachment on my Ipad. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance.

Firstly, try a Reset (Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds).
As a matter of interest, you should be able to view any attachment. However, you will not be able to save it to a location of your choice (and work on it) unless you have an app that is appropriate. For instance, if the attachment is a PDF then you get the option of where you want to store it, I.e., in iBooks (which is automatically supplied with the iPad) or one which you install such as Goodreader etc. A Word document attachment would require the Pages app or another suitable app. [Just adding this in case you are not aware.]

Iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachment

My iphone 4s on ios7 will not open or save ics email attachments so I can update my calendar. I have to open them on my PC and then iCloud will sync my updated calendar across all my devices with no problem. However, when I don't have access to my PC I would like to be able to open the ics calendar item (or save it) on my iPhone so I can see what meeting or conference I have been invited to so I can reply promptly and keep my calendar up to date without needing to wait till I have access to my PC.

The exact same thing described above is happening me too and by the looks of this and other forums, its happening alot of people.
I have tried restoring from new and a DFU restore and nothing works.
Think Apple need to own up that this is a real flaw with the iPhone 4 and offer a repair or recall.
