I cant share my photos via iphoto anymore?

i can't share my photos via iphoto email for the past few days now, i have a message saying that i have to sheck my server but all is fine on my end! does anyone know how to solve this problem?

keep on ticking the photos box but as soon as I close the window it resets and we are back to square 1.
This is in the system/iCloud preference pane, right? Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both the disk permissions and the disk. Reboot normally and try setting the System/iCloud preference again.

Use the supported methods of getting the Photo into the mail message, via the Share menu or the Media Browser.

Some Ideas On Organizing/Maintaining Photos via iPhoto? How do YOU do it?

I posted a couple of technical questions last week concerning iPhoto and how it handles files, thumbnails, EXIF data, and photo originals/copies (as http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11425805). Terence Devlin and LarryHN gave me the answers I needed. From their answers, I now have an understanding of the default method iPhoto utilizes to manage and maintain photo libraries.
Those answers have led me to a couple more questions, mostly regarding how I can best organize and maintain my photos via iPhoto within a multiple Operating System household. My massive music collection is easy... I manually maintain and organize my music files via iTunes. I can download music and fix tags in XP or OSX. I store the results on my Windows-based file server and share the iTunes library. On my MacBookPro, I have an iTunes Library that references the directories on the server. Or, I can just access the "shared" iTunes library. Same with my Ubuntu machine (with some anomalies.) Both Windows and OSX have versions of iTunes. Not so with iPhoto.
So, by default, importing my photos into iPhoto will make "copies" as well as a proprietary database containing the EXIF changes I make within iPhoto. I don't see that as the best scenario for me.
What would YOU suggest? How about storing my photos on my file server and pointing iPhoto to the location in "Referenced Mode?" This seems to be similar to how I manage my music. Yes, I know that if I change a filename or path that the library will loose track of it. I deal with this in iTunes. Occasionally, If I make a bunch of changes, I just delete my iTunes library and re-load. But that's the beauty of iTunes... if I change MP3 tag data using iTunes, the changes are made within the MP3 file itself. So if I loose the library, who cares?
I was hoping to use iPhoto in a similar way: Make changes (places, faces, etc) and have iPhoto save the data within the EXIF fields of the photo itself. That way if I move the photo around, or restore from a backup, ot loose the iPhoto library, so be it!
Unlike iTunes, it sounds like if I loose my iPhoto library, I loose all my metadata as well (unless I "export" the photo from within iPhoto?) PLUS I need to maintain the original photos and the iPhoto copies... unless I use Referenced Mode.
How about some organizational ideas/inspiration/guidance? Help me tidy up my sloppy photo collection.

Key points
1 - iPhoto has NO cross platform capabilities
2 - iPhoto is not well oriented to managing referenced libraries

That is not the way iPhoto works

You have to maintain both in either a referenced or managed library - but in an referenced library the originals are your responsibility to maintain and to keep the path constant

Probably iPhoto is not the correct solution for your needs

I want to share some photos via email to multiple but not all addresses in my address book

I want to share some photos from iphoto via email to multiple but not all addresses in my address book but when I try and add a recpient in the To field it will only allow me add one. I have to send the email to juts one person and then when it is sent the template with my photos and messages disappears and I have to start all over again! Surely there is an easier way - please help! Thanks

IMHO the best solution is to use apple mail - set it in your iPhoto preferences

I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past. Had to reset my email address

When I attempt to email a photo using iPhoto, a yellow triangle pops up with an exclamation point. No text, no instructions, and only option is to click OK. IWhat do I do? I have sent photos via iPhoto in the past, no problem. Had to reset my email address in preferences for some reason , and a request for iPhoto to share my photos or something came up and I just clicked OK thinking I needed to do that to email them. Now, yellow triangle. ( I have changed my preferenced to send via my email program, but I prefer iPhotos snappy layouts and would like to correct this problem.)

In iPhoto's Accounts preference pane delete the email account, close and open iPhoto and add the account back again.
If that doesn't help try some of the photo stationary in Mail.

Hello, I share photos via iPhoto on social networks, I would like to know if after the partition, I can withdraw my iphoto photos without removing iphoto?

While you are free to do what you want - it is strongly recommended that you do not use a referenced library (Do Not uncheck the preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto lbrary") If creates problems, saves no space and sets up for futrue nighemares
You final conclusion is the correct one - FOR YOU - if you want destructive editing rather than the lossless editing that iPhoto provides then simply do not use iPhoto

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

I cant share my photos to iCloud

I want so share my photos but iPhoto keeps on telling me that I must enable/sign in to iCloud, which I've done. I keep on ticking the photos box but as soon as I close the window it resets and we are back to square 1. I've also tried to sign in to iCloud from system preferences but it keeps on reseting the choice. How can I fix this? I have OS 10.9.3 and my iPhoto software is up to date.

Sending photos via iphoto

I am unable to send photos via Iphoto. I get a message to check outgoing mail settings. I am not sure what the outgoing mail settings should be.
outgoing mail servier : smtpme.com, port is 587, should the box at the bottom be checked or unchecked? I have tried it both ways and it still doesnt resolve
the issue.

I have it checked and it works for me. Delete that account and then add it back anew. See if that will do the job. The server address and port are the same that I have setup for my iCloud account.
You can alway set Mail as the emali client of choice so you can get more features, i.e. copies of sent messages, more templates under Stationary, etc.

Live in Canada, Print/mail photos via iPhoto to UK

Hi
I live in Canada and am interested in ordering some photos via iPhoto. Photos are for delivery to UK. So I'd like to place the order with Apple iPhoto service in UK rather than in Canada (which delivers only to US/Canada).
Is this possible?
Or must I use a photo printer other than iPhoto?
Guidance welcomed.
Regards, Ross

no - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/shipping/ and http://www.apple.com/uk/support/photoservices/shipping/
And your address and credit card must match the country you order from
Each of the pages listed above have an e-mail information request form you can use to double check
Or must I use a photo printer other than iPhoto?
Yes

My iphoto doesn't allow to share the photos to facebook anymore. (publish button doesn't work) does anyone knows what is wrong?

my iphoto doesn't allow to share the photos '09 (8.1.2) to facebook anymore. publish button doesn' work. (it used to be OK) anyone has any idea?

There are a couple of things that could be causing this. Try:
delete your iPhoto cache
hold down the option key
in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Library
in Library, find Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhotoin that folder, find Cache.db and drag it to the trash.
delete the iPhoto preference file
do the same trick with the option key to show ~/Library
in Library/Preferences, find com.apple.iPhoto.plist, and drag it to the trash
if there are multiples of any of these files, drag them to the trash too.
delete the Keychain entries and do Keychain First Aid
in Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
in the column on the left select login and under category, Passwords
delete all of the entries that include iPhoto or Facebook
in the Keychain Access menu, scroll down to Keychain First Aid, enter your user password, select repair, and click start.
Then restart your computer
new caches and preference files will be generated
you will need to reenter your iPhoto preferences
reenter your facebook user name and password in iPhoto
this should fix it.

Can you share your photos in iPhoto with other users on Mac and if so How?

I am trying to share photos in iPhoto from one user to another user on my Mac computer. Can this be done and how do you do it?

If you only want to share a few selected albums with your favourite photos, consider to use Shared Photo Streams / Shared Albums, if your Mac OS X version supports iCloud.
See this link: iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ

Is it possible to share multiple photos from iPhoto to flickr with embedded title, description and tags for each photo?

I use iPhoto to share my photos to different sites like facebook and flickr ... with facebook it's easy since the pics don't need much details ... however, I have some trouble with Flickr, since I need to add description, titles and tags for each picture ... is there a way to do so ?!

Titles and descriptions are not embedded into a photo until it is exported out of iPhoto with the following settings:
So if Facebook can read those values in an image file you'll need to export as shown above and upload to FB from outside of iPhoto or import back into iPhoto and sync the new files to FB.
