IPhoto email fails

Trying to send a photo by email but the email address disappears from the address block.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what email client is selected in iPhoto's General preference pane?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Iphoto 09 fails to import from external hd

I am running iLife 09 on my Macbook, on a wireless network hosted by an airport extreme which is in turn connected to a WD My Book World edition (ethernet) which stores files from my iPhoto exported library.
My macbook refuses to import them into iPhoto 'Connection failed' reporting an error connecting to the bases station and asking that I check the IP address and try again. HOWEVER, all other applications work fine (web, email, etc) and I can copy the files across to the desktop successfully. I can also access the files using other applications (preview, word, etc)
What is even more confusing, is that when trying to import these files into iPhoto, with the network disconnected, the same message appears.
I can successfully import the same photos over the network into my wifes macbook running the same version of iphoto, but running system 10.5.8.
I am beginning to think this is a 'bug' in iphoto 09 running on system 10.6.5?
Has anyone any other suggestions??
(Happy to upgrade to iLife 11 if that will resolve the problem)

NO, this just tell us that your original Library is damaged.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
means
one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
again
Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

Iphoto emailing of photos not functioning. Recieve notice that my server is down...which is not the case

My iphoto email service will not complete the sending of photos attached to an email. I get a notice to the effect that action was not completed because
either I'm not connected to the internet or my server is "down." Niether is the case. I have tried to send to myself at both my gmail address (mailing from
the gmail address) and to my other email account, as well as to others at different accounts. Is there any way to restore this function? Thank you.

Books do not use Mail in any way - they created a order file and send it to the Apple servers directly - not using email
and for the book
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
as to theiPhoto mail issue - there was a recent post about Cloud mail changing servers and iPHoto not being able to follow the change so either finding the correct mail server from time to time and entering it or using Mail which does not seem to have that problem is necessary - I use mail so have no recent experience with the iPhoto email client

IPHOTO EMAIL ATTACHMENT

I am having difficulty attaching a photo to an email as a JPEG attachment. All the Iphoto email programs imbed the picture in the email message. I want to be able to attach an photo to an email such that our club newsletter editor can take the photo off the email message and include in the software for our newsletter. How do i do this?

i went to the Apple Store. it turns out that IPhoto email pictures are in JPEG. To convert from in-bedded image you right click and choose show as an icon. I understand that a PC operator can do this as well.
Thx.

The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

Send Email Fail... SOLVED! WVC80N

I bought this camera yesterday to monitor the entrance to my house, and in case anyone decided they wanted to break in and take anything, I would have them caught on video. All I wanted this camera for was so that I could monitor my house from the road, but mostly to have it automatically record a short clip and send it to my email account, where it would sit until I actually needed to "pull the tapes".
However, like so many others, I could not get the "Test Email" test to work. I would constantly get "Send Email Fail - [email protected]". I had verified time and time again that the settings in the camera were correct. But it just wouldn't work. From what I have read, email "servers" like hotmail, msn, yahoo, and gmail WILL NOT WORK to SEND the email, you must use your ISP's email settings. That being said, even with my ISP's settings correct, the test would still fail. Here is how I fixed it:
If you are having this problem, you have probably come across some posts where the words "port forwarding" were found. That is, indeed, the problem. I don't know that much about networking anymore, but I will tell you how I got my camera to finally send emails.
I have a linksys WRT54G wireless router. What I had to do was set up the router to forward port 1024 to the IP address of the camera. If you have the same router I do, simply go to 192.168.1.1 in IE. The default login "I think" is "admin" and just leave the password blank. If you don't have the same router, you'll have to look into the documentation to find out how to log in to your router. (Note: Sometimes when I go to 192.168.1.1, I get an error that it can't be displayed. Rebooting everything and saying a few hail mary's usually fixes this. Go figure).
Once you are in to your router, and in the case of the WRT54G, click on "Applications and Gaming". Make sure you are on the Port Range Forward tab. The first field is just something to remind you what the trigger is for. I put "Camera". Next, at start and end, I put "1024" for both. For the protocol, I left it at "BOTH". Then I just put the STATIC IP address of the camera into the field, which in my case was 192.168.1.218, and clicked ENABLE, and APPLY at the bottom. Suddenly I got about 15 emails on every account which I had setup, including my ISP's server and GMAIL.
To find your camera's IP address, hopefully you have setup the TZO account (it's free to try) and go to your web address www.YourName.MyLinksysCam.com and click on Advanced Settings. On the basic settings, it will have some fields that should say like IPv4 Only, Fixed IP Address, and the IPv4 Address, which in my case was 192.168.1.218. This is the number that you need to forward port 1024 to in your router settings. Once you know that number, I would print out a little sticky label and put it on the base of the camera so that if you ever want to log into it again directly from your network (not remotely), you can just type that address into IE and change the settings. Also make sure in your camera's settings that on the Options tab, UPnP is Enabled, Alternate Web Access Port is Enabled, and is 1024. I guess you could change this number if you wanted, just make sure you forward that new number in your router settings as described above.
Don't forget to set up the motion sensitivity. For now, I have mine full screen and max sensitivity.
I hope this helps, it was very frustrating for me.

Well I've had no luck either. Spent over 4hrs chatting with the support group and ended being four time more frustrated than when I started. In all seriousness I would say I spent atleast 40% of that time trying to educate the support reps as to what the problem was.
In the end I checked my wrt610n router and under single port forwarding the settings redcrawl mentioned where already there. So it may be that Cisco has attempted to make the changes needed but regardless of these changes I still can't get it to work with Hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail. Just for everyones info I've listed their respective smtp servers and ports below:
   Outgoing SMTP Mail Servers:
   Hotmail - smtp.live.com Port - 25
   Yahoo - smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port - 25
   Gmail - smtp.gmail.com Port - 465
In any event, I would have to say that I've been a Linksys/Cisco loyalist up to this point but after this experience it looks like I'm going to go with another brand.
Good luck everyone and to the forum administrators I would change the title of this topic from "SOLVED" to "Pending".

How come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

how come when I send a picture with iPhoto email it always send the same picture event when I choose a different picture until I log out from iPhoto

Why? Because something is wrong.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

IPhoto - email did not go through...

I'm trying to send (share) pictures thru iPhoto and I keep getting this meesage: "Your email did not go thru because the server did not reply. Check internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later."
I've tried creating other iPhoto email accounts and I keep getting the same message. By the way, my internet is working just fine. Also if sned via Messages, the photo gets sent just fine.
Any thoughts on how a can get iPhoto to work (send photos via email)?

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

IPhoto email sudddenly not working

Suddenly my iPhoto email is not working. After I choose a photo from the library and push email and choose a size and compose,it starts to but after a moment the application freezes and the the BBOD appears and then the whole application shuts down. I tried at least 15 times today. Aside from this, I have continual problems with iPhoto 5 crashing. ANY HELP greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Close iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the file to the trash and launch iPhoto. You'll have to set the preferences back to your liking.
If that doesn't help, then you can try rebuilding the database. Hold down Command and Option while launching iPhoto. Select the first 3 options in the dialog, then Rebuild. For more information read this Apple article.

IPhoto email photo degradation

Using iPhoto in OS X Yosemite email sharing feature. Beginning in late December, photos in photo cards using iPhoto email templates received by the recipients are blurry. The actual photos chosen from the iPhoto library are clear. Photos emails sent earlier in December and in years priori using the iPhoto prefernce do not have this problem.

Have you changed the Photo Size settings in the "Mail" panel?
Check if it is still set to a high quality, and "Attach Photo to message" is enabled.

Auto-Setup Emails Fail with kGotAuthenticationFailure

If I set up my people with a shortname of "first.last", the auto-setup email fails to work when they click the setup button with "kGotAuthenticationFailure."
I do the dot in the shortname to facilitate more organized email addresses. I could do this by adding an alias, but I've found this confuses users as some services (like the wiki) only accept the true shortname.
I would really like for the auto-setup emails to work. Any suggestions for a fix?

Are the client Macs all created from a central image? If so, yes, it's a Kerberos key failure. The local KDCs need to be flushed from the image or from each Mac before you do your bind. Also good idea to discard the system keychain while you're at it.
Here's a simple sh script to do it.
#!/bin/sh
\# Delete System Keychain
rm -rf /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
\# Delete the local KDC database
rm -rf /var/db/krb5kdc
\# Regenerate the local KDC
/usr/libexec/configureLocalKDC

"Closed" pictures in iphoto email

I often send pictures directly from iphoto by clicking on the email icon at the bottom of the library page. Its quick and easy but my pictures are sent as "open" rather than "closed" as most normal attachments should be received. I would like my mail recipient to receicve my pictures "unopened" Can this be done in iPhoto or do I have to send them the old fashioned way and "create" the enclosure. thanx.

djboothmaker:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As far as I know going from iPhoto to Mail leaves them open. Haven't found a way to do it otherwise.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

How do I change my iPhoto email provider to a new email provider? version 7.1.5

How do I change email address for my iPhoto program? I have an older version 7.1.5. I can't find out how to upgrade to a newer version. Help please.

You are really out of date - if I remember correct you are using Mail for e-mail - if so then you need to change the account in the Mail accounts references
