IPhone Cannot Synch Photos from iPhoto

Hello,
I have my iPhoto (and iTunes) library on an external harddrive that I connect wirelessly to thru my new airport extreme. I use my MacBook Pro to synch my iPhone. My iTunes videos and music synch great, but when I select the photo albums I want to load onto the phone, iTunes "thinks" for about 45 seconds, and then gives me the warning,
"The iPhone 'Ryan's iPhone' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
Is this a problem with the iPhone? I have loaded photos in the same way from my MacBook onto my iPod and it worked fine... Is this due to the fact that I am connecting to my photo library via a wireless connection?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Ryan H.

I am synching photos from Aperture. The photos are on an external hard drive but it is connected to my computer (G5) via firewire not wireless. iPhoto worked as well but most of my photos are accessible via Aperture.

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac. This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5. I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others. I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto. I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient. Thank you.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

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)

Suddenly cannot upload photos from iPhoto to websites like ebay

I am attempting to create listings on Ebay and cannot upload photos from Iphoto like I used to. This happened on another website as well where I attempted to upload photos from Iphoto onto the site and it wouldn't work. I was able to upload to Facebook and use the pictures that way, but cannot do that for Ebay.
With the Ebay issue, I'm able to get to Iphoto by clicking on the browse button in Ebay, but when Iphoto comes up, it's frozen and I can't move the page at all. I'm have to "force quit" Safari to even be able to continue using the computer.
I am using a Mac Mini, Mac OS X Lion (Version 10.7.5). Safari is Version 6.1 (7537.71). All software is up to date.
Thanks in advance!!

IPhone stopped loading photos from iPhoto, changed albums, nothing.

For years I kept an album in iPhoto of photos to sync onto my iPhone. Now that album is empty. Made a new album with same photos and tried to sync that-nothing. I think it's a glitch in the new iTunes, which I still can't get to stop shuffling. So I have no photos on my phone except new shots which I always keep in iPhoto and delete from the phone. What gives?

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.

It sounds as if you have a permissions issue with your Home folder. Try this method posted by Linc Davis:

Unknown error (-50) when synching photos from iPhoto

Hi all,
I got a new iMac couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine except for the synchronization of photos from iPhoto to my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4.
When I select a folder to sync it works fine. When I select iPhoto as source (all, album, event, face) iTunes shows an error message that the iPad/iPhone could not be synced and the an 'Unknown error occured (-50)'.
I am up to date with iPhoto, iTunes and Mac OS X.
Any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Tobias

I don't want to know anything. You need to tell people that if they follow your advice they lose data - any edits or changes made to photos in iPhoto, any albums, books, slideshows etc they have made, any additional metadata they have added - places, faces, keywords, and, unless you're quite careful exporting, possibly some of the metadata added by your camera too.
The very least you might do is explain the options in the Export dialogue, the implications of the choices made there and how they contrast with drag and drop.
An iPhoto installation is made up of two quite distinct parts - the app and the Library. I know of no issue that has ever required nuking both. As you don't tell us what efforts you made to solve your problem I won't comment futher.

Cannot send photos from iPhoto

This is driving me nuts!
I am on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. I am using Yahoo as my primary mail. When I try to send photos using iPhoto, I get the common message "The email server didn't recognize your user / Password combination". I know for sure that the username and password are correct, and sending regular email works fine.
I've tried activating iCloud mail and trying that, but then I get a message that the outgoing mail server timed out.
I've tried all the suggestions I've been able to find in other threads to no avail, although the other threads about this subject seem to focus more on Gmail.
Anybody else using this setup and successfully sending?
Thanks,
Glen

Use this for your SMPTE outgoing mail server in the settings of the iCloud account:
smtp.mail.me.com
After doing this, switch to the iPhoto as your mail preference (instead of Mail) in the general screen, and test it out.
This fixed my issues after I kept getting an error with the server when email photos from iPhoto. Once I manually added the correct outgoing server to iPhoto for my iCloud account, it worked fine.

Cannot upload photo from iphoto to facebook on notebook

I have a new Macbook Pro. When signed into Facebook and wanting to upload a photo I am having problems. When I select upload and pick iphoto the application will not open. Any ideas?

Sharing to Facebook directly from iPhoto does not work well right now.
See this fix posted by LarryHN:
A solution to FaceBook posting issues
If the above does not work, export your photos from iPhoto and then upload them from the Desktop using Facebooks uploader.

ITunes cannot sync photos from iPhoto because of same filename

I have 2 iPhones that both import into a single iMac using iPhoto with a shared library (i.e., two user accounts accessing the same iPhoto library in the Shared folder). The iPhones are set to sync the last 5 Events from iPhoto, however it fails to do so with certain pictures stating "Some of your photos, including the photo “IMG_0513.JPG”, were not copied to the iPad “My iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad". I think I have determined that the problem is that both iPhones are naming various pictures with the same filenames since the naming is simply sequential. Therefore, both iPhone have images named IMG_513.JPG, for example, even though they are different images and though iPhoto doesn't have a problem with that the iPhone and iPad do. My current solution is to have iPhoto duplicate the photos that won't sync (I assume this creates another file with a 2 affixed to it) and delete the original. It's a pain to do that, but I haven't found any other way to change the filenames once they've been imported or change how the iPhone name the photos when they're taken. Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem. I have over 5000 photos in my iPhoto Library. I have used several different cameras over the years, so I have some duplicate file names...IMG_XXXX. This has never been a problem before. But, I am trying to sync to my brand new iPad 2. I have been able to transfer about 1200 photos, but I get the same warning that you get.
There is no option to skip the problem photo(s) and keep sync going. It just stops.
Looking for a little help here?

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!
