  • I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

    I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
    I can't access these images except to go into the applications. 
    Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive.  I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space.  Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use. 
    As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb.  Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
    So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
    -select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    -eliminate dups but maintain organization
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    -live happily ever after
    Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

    If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
    So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit Aperture
    2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Referenced -  relocate your Masters first.
    These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an  iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    You can't. Every photo is in a Project.  They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
    You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app  you've purchased.
    The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

  • Cannot attach photos to email in iOS 8.0

    After upgrading to iOS 8.0, I can not attach photos to my emails.  This has never been a problem before the upgrade.

    Which mail client are you using?
    Can you mail directly from the Photos.app using the "Share" options?
    Apps, that have not been updated to iOS 8 compatible versions cannot see all photos, only the photos in the "Recently added" album. As a work-around send photos directly from the Photos.app or add the photos to an album. Then other apps should be able to access the photos. There is also a bug with accessing photos by third-party apps that will be fixed in the next iOS8 update.

  • Cannot attach photos

    In the past I was able to attach several photos to an email.  Recently I cannot attach evenone photo.  I get the message:  "This file exceeds your attachment limits."Why is this happening?

  • I cannot attach photos to email since iOS 8 was installed yesterday.

    Since I installed iOS 8 yesterday, I can no longer attach photos to email. It just cycles and cycles but photos will not attach. PLEASE HELP!! Thank you!!!!

    Hello DaynaE65,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. You may want to consider performing a restart, or a reset to address the issue:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Cannot attach photo when only exchange account configured

    Hi,
    I Configured my iphone 4 (iOS 6.1.3) with my organization Exchange account.
    This is the only account on my device and i have a strange problem.
    When i go to the photo app and select a photo and try attach it to a new email, it send me to the "Add account..." page, like i didn't set any account although i have the exchange account already.
    If i'm going to the mail app and on the body i choose attach photo or video - it's working but i must have the other way too.
    Has anyone encountered this problem?
    Thanks.

    Have your IT folks check the profile for this account. There's a security setting:
    Use Only in Mail
    Send outgoing mail from this account only from Mail app
    If that box is checked, you'll experience the behavior you're experiencing.

  • Cannot move junk email to Bulk Mail folder in Yahoo, greyed out

    I've searched but so far no luck.  Ever since I added my two Yahoo email accounts on my iPhone 4, I cannot seem to send junk email from my inbox to my Bulk Mail folder, it is greyed out.  First off, I've confirmed that the Bulk Mail folder on my iPhone is the same as my Spam folder in Yahoo mail on the desktop.  I can see the same emails in both folders.  Anyone have the same experience and found a way to correct this, or is this just a Yahoo limitation?

    I am having the same problem, but I'm not very clear on how to follow the steps.
    went to my yahoo account in IOS;
    hit edit, hit "new mailbox" at the bottom right corner of the screen;
    entered a name;
    below that, it has "Mailbox Location", I opened it;
    it list all my personal folders, I am stuck here.
    How do I "point the mailbox location to the Bulk Mail folder", as instructed? Am I missing a step?
    This is for iPhone 4S, with the latest released version. Thank you!

  • After updating to version 9.0,Why is the text in the Awesome Bar greyed out and some of the text is black?

    Some of the text is greyed out in the Awesome Bar,this page is greyed out except for mozilla.org is in black. It does this to every page.

    The new behavior beginning in Firefox 7 is to highlight the domain (i.e., '''mozilla.org''') in the Location/URL/Address bar for easier identification.
    Users can revert to the old behavior by setting browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled to false in about:config
    #type '''''about:config''''' in the Location/URL/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled'''
    #double-click on the pref in the lower panel to toggle it to "false" '''''OR''''' right-click on the pref in the lower panel and choose "Toggle" to toggle it to "false"
    #close the about:config tab

  • How can i organize my photo albumbs(not greyed out)

    So i was trying to organize some photos of mine from the computer and the internet.
    I created folders in my pc and made my ipad synced with them as albums(folder names=albums).
    Then i downloaded an image from the internet in my ipad and i wanted to move it to the correct album instead of cameral roll.
    To my surprise i couldnt move it to the albumbs i send through my pc because they were greyed out, so i made a new folder with the same name as that folder i had in my pc and transferred the image there along with all the other images from the pc album.
    So now in order to avoid having 2 albums for the same thing i removed the that folder from my pc and synced with ipad. I also deleted the downloaded image from camera roll because i didnt need it to be there and only wanted it to be in my new album.
    Then to my surprise after syncing and deleting that image all the photos in the new album have dissapeared which means the image was never transfered, it was just linked there and if the original is gone then it is removed.
    My question is.
    Is there any way to organize my photos in albums, albums that you can move images to from camera roll and arent greyd out when you are trying to add an image to them. And also to move images in those albums without having to keep a copy of them in camera roll??
    Having to update your pc folders everytime you download something from ipad is a pain.

    Albums that you sync from your computer can't be deleted or amended directly on your iPad - you can only add photos to them, or remove photos, by adding/removing them on the folder on your computer and resyncing.
    And when you create an album in the Photos app on your iPad and 'copy' a photo into it you are only creating a pointer to the photo, you're not creating a separate copy of the photo - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore remove it from any albums that you've 'copied' it into.
    There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you could use instead - you can copy photos to that app from your computer, and to/from the Photos app, and you can delete photos (including those copied from a computer) directly in it. So you could use an app such as that for your albums.

  • I Cannot attached photos in email

    Hi,
    When i sent photos via email on iphone 4S from official email, the receiver will not get photos in attachement only in wall.
    Anybody can tell me srouce to solve this issue please........
    Venkatesh Lakshmanan

    I am not sure now what to suggest other than contacting your e-mail provider to see if they have any ideas. Even with a full sized pictures, mine have always gone through. Hopefully someone else will see this and be able to offer some help.

  • Cannot attach photo to email using OWA

    Instead of attaching the image I get the following message
    [cid:0C3A1F28-8A59-4013-B782-A4A85A17D897]
    Any ideas ?

    For others who might have a similar issue I think I have solved it and it is to do with the signature on the iPhone
    If you have a signature which is html (most likely created by copy and paste), the
    picture is embedded into the mail. If your signature is plain text (or you have
    no signature at all) the picture is attached.
    How I tested...
    I sent pictures while I have no signature.
    The picture is attached.
    I type a signature manually. The picture and the signature are attached.
    I create a signature by copy and paste (signature copied from another mail, or from notes) and now when I send a
    picture, it is inline aong with the html signature.

  • Cannot attach file to email?  the file is faint/grayed out

    Sending an email with a pages document attached.  when I go to attach the document to the email, the file document is very faint or grayed out located under "Documents".  It will not attach, in fact, I cannot open the pages document directly from the "File" on the bar.

    Sounds like you're trying to attach a Pages "Project" instead of a finished document. The are "package" files that are not a single file but actually a folder of files that make up the project.
    In Pages you need to create a single file like .pdf and use it as the attachment.
