When I try to send a photo from iphoto it says it doesn't recognize my username/password combination.

When I try to send a photo from iphoto it says it doesn't recognize my user name/password combination and I'm pretty sure I have those listed correctly. Is there some setting I've entered incorrectly?

See the forum:
Send email from Iphoto.
where I have posted a solution.

If I want to share a photo ( email) I get the answer: server doesn't recognize the username/password combination ? What's up ???

iPhoto Menu ->
Preferences ->
Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

I changed my gmail password after suspicious activity was detected. It works fine on my computer but my iphone 5 doesn't recognize my new password ("cannot get mail" message). I've tried changing my phone settings to the new password, but no good.

Hello there dinadinadina,
It sounds like you have modified the password settings for your Gmail account after changing the password. Thats where I would have started too. Next I would restart the device and test it one more time, and then remove and add the account again in Settings:
Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Iphoto email doesn't recognize my username/password combination

Iphoto 11 cannot send email -- username/password combination not recognized. Genius bar could not solve

Uusally the solution is to go to the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts and delete the account and re-enter it
IMHO the better so;ution is to set Apple Mail as the e-mail client in the iPhoto general preferences and quit using iPhoto as the e-mail client and use mail

Error message on Iphoto when emailing says it doesn't recognize email password combination

I just purchased an updated Iphoto and it no longer will let me email photos because it doesn't recognize my username password combination. How do I fix that

Try it both with and without the @gmail part.
At one time it was optional, now Gmail seems to want the entire username.
If that doesn't fix it, sign out from your computer and and log in again, but type the password to verify it is really correct. There is no mystery to it, Gmail will work with the correct name and password.

I want to email a photo through iPhoto but it says I need a password... I entered my password but it says it doesn't match - what password do they want and how do I fix? (Facebook and other social media iPhoto posts work - just email asking for pass)

Your email password.
iPhoto '11: Email your photos
Open Mac Mail. From the Mac Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Make a selection from the: Default email reader pop up menu.

You have a number of things that will make this not work.
Your mailto link is not the way to go, take a look at this and it should get you on the right path.

On your action page, you can have it give the thank you message that you want. Having a seperate page saying they forgot to do something complicates matters more than you might wish at this point, and usually irritates people. however if you decide you want to go that way, look up "sticky forms". What this does is re-populate the fields when they have to go back to correct.
A better way would be to validate the information, you can use Spry if you want which is built into dreamweaver.
You also have in your html form this
enctype="multipart/form-data"
That is used for sending files, and since you are not, the form would not work, so you want to remove it.
Hopefully that will give you a starting point.

I'm trying to send (email) photos from iPhoto. Computer says it doesn't recognize my user name or password. I've never had a problem emailing photos.....until now. Any suggestions? I'm sure it's simple but I don't know it!

CAN ANYONE HELP?? I ALSO NEED TO KNOW WHICH/WHAT TO PICK FOR MY MAIL CLIENT. I'VE TRIED THREE DIFFERENT THINGS AND NONE OF THEM WORK!

Mail would be a good choice, unless you are using another email client, like Outlook. There is likely something wrong with the account setup in iPhoto. You may need to delete the account you set up and enter it again if you want to send with iPhoto instead of with Mail.
Give this a try to see what might be wrong: Drag a photo from iPhoto onto the Mail icon in the Dock. It will create a new message with the photo attached. If you click on the photo in Mail, it should show a popup menu to allow you to set the image size to send.
Check out some of the links in the More Like This section to the right. There might be some other suggestions.

Never mind. I was able to find the solution via an earlier post from West. Thank you!

I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.

The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

Can't send email with photo from iPhoto

Hi I am trying to share a photo/email from iphoto and I get this error message
The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination
I am assuming this is because I changed my password on icloud but it is working on mail... how to I update it on iphoto? thanks Gail

If you're using iPhoto on your Mac go into the iPhoto/General preference pane and change the email client from iPhoto to Mail. Then you'll be able to email normally.
If you are referring to iPhoto on your Mac then post in the iLife/iPhoto community in the future.
