I cannot email picture from iPhoto

When I try to send a picture in iPhoto to my email address I get the message that my email and password are not recognized.  How to I fix this?

Delete your email account from iPhoto and enter it again from the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts tab:
If the problem persists, set iPhoto to use the "mail.app" as mail client and not iPhoto. You can change this in the "General" preferences tab.

  • Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
    i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
    Any ideas ?

    This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
    Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
    I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
    And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

  • IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

    I cannot email photos from iPhoto.  I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

    Do you have two-step verification enabled  and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
    Then check this solution:
    If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
    See the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

    When trying to email pictures from IPhoto for the first time, I chose to use my Yahoo server, but I mistakenly entered the wrong password.  Since then, everytime I try to email pictures I get a message saying "The server didn't recognize your username/password combination".  How can I correct this so I can email pictures using my IPhoto? 

    iPhoto Menu -> Prefences -> Accounts. Delete and recreate your email account.

  • I cannot move pictures from iphoto to the desktop

    I have a MacBookPro.
    I cannot take pictures from iphoto and then drag them somewhere else, whether its on the desktop, in a folder or on a usb key: they do not want to more out of iphoto.
    I have tried to put my computer to sleep and wake it up: it doesnt work.
    I have tried to 'export' the photographs: it doesnt work.
    I cannot afford to loose any of these photographs therefore reseting my iphoto is not an option.
    help please!
    Thank You

    You do not ever directly access the contents of the iPHoto library - use the media browser - in the lower left of the insert window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • Why can't I email pictures from iphoto

    Why can't I email pictures from iphoto

    Because you have a problem
    To get help you actually have to share information. Like version of iPhoto, what you are doing, what happens, what doesn't, error messages, etc
    Asking total strangers to fix something with no information beyond something diesn't work simply will not get a valid answer

  • Cannot import picture from iPhoto to set mail

    I tried to drag a picture from iphoto to birthday greeting in mail but the picture in greeting is not opening up.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Have you managed to get it into an email but it shows as an icon rather than an image? If so, control+click or right click on the image and select 'view in place'.
    If you are creating an email using Mail's Stationery feature you may want to save the image from iPhoto to the Desktop and then drag it from the Desktop into the template you've chosen.

  • Cannot import pictures from iPhoto into iMovie!

    When I try to upload my JPEG pictures from iPhoto, I can successfully drag them into the storyboard, but they all show up as the same picture (the picture right before all of them). When I try to drag them into the workspace below the storyboard, I see the number of them (doesn't matter how many) in a red circle, not allowing me to drag them over from the browser.
    I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help out with this?

    Open the photo Browser in iMovie. Find your Album. Drag the icon for your Album into the iMovie Project.

  • Cannot email photos from iPhoto after upgrade to 10.8

    After upgrading to 10.8, I have not been able to successfully eamil photos from iPhoto. I can select the photos, click the email icon, and have Mail open with the photos attached (as expected). But the send button is grayed out, and the newly created message window cannot be closed. To get rid of the unsendable email, I have to quit or force shut down Mail, then reopen Mail and manually delete the email from Drafts.
    Has anyone else run into this issue?

    As Larry suggested go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and make sure your email account information is correct. If you joined iCloud that is a must.

  • Cannot email photos from iphoto 9.2

    I have iphoto 9.2 and cannot email photos. When I go to send it, it tells me that "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination."
    What does that mean? I thought I had it set up to send from my POP account.
    Help!

    YEAH!
    That will work for now. That is how I used to send photos before I upgraded my computer:)
    I would like to be able to mail using the fun iphoto templates some day...but for now, this will work.
    Thank you!

  • Emailing pictures from iPhoto

    Picture starts mail but doesn't send due to ID/Passeord not recognized, but I can start iMail and attach a picture without a problem. What's wrong with mailing from iPhoto?

    iPhoto utilizes the same accounts that you have setup in the Mail application. If there is a password issue you should go into Settings and double check that your accounts have the correct password set for both incoming and outgoing servers.

  • 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.
