Have just installed iPhoto'11. Tried to send email direct from iphoto o, but it would not except my password, or current server.

Tried to send email direct from iphoto on my newly installed iPhoto '11. It will not accept my current and only server, or my password. The photos will go out directly from email, but not from iPhoto. Any suggestions?

In the iPhoto preferences set Apple mail as the e-mail client and use it as before

I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iPhoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I was able to send videos via email in the past. Why?

Look at your settings iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts
and make changes here or add your email account if not in the list
One thing to look at for sure is the SMTP sever name, I think by default it fills it in as smtp.me.com or some such, which may not be your email outgoing server.

Hi, I can't email photos from iphoto as the email server doesn't recognise my password / username combination... any ideas how i fix this?

Go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account there. Then add it back again.
If that fails you can set Mail at the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane. Mail is more reliable, gives you a sent copy and has better access to your contacts. It also has photo templates if you need them. They are in the stationary selection menu.

Thanks "Old Toad" .... I tried what you suggested: I erased the email accounts, re-booted, re-entered the email settings and changed the the email client to Mail (instead of iPhoto). I still have the message " email server didn't recognize your username/password combination"...... so frustrating and probably something so simple..... but I can't figure it out! I did clean-up everything, cookies/cashes, I did a "Safe Boot", just in case.... still not able to send email via iPhoto, instead I have to drag the photo from iPhoto onto the desktop then attach it to an email.... way too many steps!!!!
And what email client are you using in the successful (if too many step) process?

Can I ftp directly from iphoto?

I have been uploading large jpegs onto another server using ftp plug-in with Aperture. But it strips the photo info, captions etc from the file, which is crucial information for my clients. Does any one know why this is happening, If I could ftp directly from iphoto or Photoshop elements even, it would be easier for me as I don't find aperture useful for multiple batch changes in file names and captions.
Currently I have been editing the file names and comments in iphoto, exporting 'version name' (other wise it exports the original file name) to a folder on the desktop and then importing these files into aperture where I use a plug in AperturetoFTPpro. I do have the export version box checked and not the 'master' box - By now i've lost track of which it thinks the 'master' or 'version' is!
not sure what's causing the problem, iphoto or aperture.
When i look at the metadata in aperture, I can't see the captions, but if i open the same file in photoshop and do 'apple i' the info is there.

Emily
I'm not really sure what you're actually trying to achieve? Your method seems rather convoluted.
Are you trying to rename and add comments to photos and then upload them to an ftp site?
You cannot ftp directly from iPhoto (or Elements either.) iPhoto 6 has poor abilities to export metadata. I'm not sure why you're involving iPhoto at all. Aperture is well capable of editing the IPTC data - renaming files, adding captions etc - and the exporting the files with that metadata. It is also well capable of batch renaming and editing. With your ftp plug-in I see no reason why you need iPhoto.
If you can explain in more detail what you're trying to achieve then perhaps we can help more.

How can I email photos from iphoto '11?

I am having trouble emailing photos from iphoto '11. When I put the recipients address in, it disappears when I click "send" and I get some message about "key chain" and iphoto wants to use my confidential information???? What I ended up doing is dragging and dropping the photo into the email, but I don't want to have to do that all the time. I just got this MacBook Pro and iphoto program so am experiencing a learning curve. I must be doing something wrong. Is it safe to "always allow" this "key chain" info?
Thanks, you wonderful community.
Sheila
Update! I just tried this again by "allowing" for this one photo. I'm not sure what I'm allowing, but the photo was sent this time. Please advise.
Thanks,
Sheila

Sharing you are allowing the email to be sent.
Your SMTP has a password and it is confidential, if you do not agree it does not have access to that password.

I am trying to move a "face" photo from IPhoto to the picture well in a contact in my "Contacts". Can't drag directly from iPhoto to picture well. How do I do it?

I am tring to move a "face" photo from IPhote to the picture well in a contact from my "Contacts list". I followed directions in Help but Cannot double click the picture well then drag a photo. It won't accept it directly from IPhoto. Once you double click on the picture well then click on the photo (in another application-IPhoto) it apparently negates the double click on the picture well. The only place it will take a picture from is the "recents" that you get when you double click on the picture well in contacts. How do I get the photo to the "recents" or to the picture well?

Hi cavu10horses,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
Select a picture:
Drag an image to the picture well.
Click Camera to take a picture.
If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
Click Edit to edit the picture.
To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
Click Done.
Cheers,
- Ari

How Can I Email Photos from iPhoto using Yahoo Web Mail?

Is there anyway to hook the email functionality in iPhoto up to a web based email account?
On my old PC Yahoo had a little helper application that would intercept calls to the email program and redirected them to Yahoo. Yahoo does not seem to have a similar helper app for mac.
Can anyone think of a way to connect iPhoto's email button up to Yahoo or other web based mail?
Thanks!

There is one for GMail, but none for Yahoo, AFAIK.
As you're using 10.5, If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

Can't email photo from iphoto

I get error "the email server does not recognize my user name or password combination when using iPhoto using latest operating system

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the email account and then add it back.
If that doesn't get you back on line with mail the set Mail as iPhoto's email client in iPhoto;s General preference pane and use Mail instead of iPhoto to email your pictures. Mail gives you an automatic sent copy as well as templates in its Stationary section and is more reliable than using iPhoto.

After upgrading to OS X, can't email pictures from iPhoto.

I cannot email photos selected in iPhoto. I click the email icon, as I have always done, on the bottom of the iPhoto page. Email opens, I type in my message but, when I hit send, nothing happens. Not only that but I can't delete the stuck e-mail either without shutting down my computer.

Can't email photos from iPhoto as server does not recognize user name or password

How can I fix this? I use MS office outlook for mac 2011 - I don't seem to have problems otherwise, or on iphone.

That's not the problem. If you have Apple Mail, you have to separately configure the passwords for iPhoto as well. Even though you have entered your email accounts and passwords properly in the email area, you have to re-enter the correct passwwords for all the email accounts registered under iPhoto/Preferences/Accounts; make sure to save each password, then close iPhoto and reopen it. Then you will be able to send the pix!!
Cheers,
Jim
