IPhoto pictures as file attachments in email

Does anyone know how to attach picture files from iPhoto in an email. No matter what I try, the picture gets imbedded in the email instead of as a file attachment. I am new to Apple and Mac having done Windows all my life. Thank you.

If you Control click on the photos you can select Display as Icon. But that only affects your email client and not the recipient's. If the recipient's email client is set to not display photos the photos will show as icons. You don't have control over their client.
The only way to have the photos not be displayed is to export them out of iPhoto and zip/compress them by Control-clicking and selecting the "Compress ..." option.
Click to view full size
The recipient will then download and unzip the file to get the photo files.
Happy Holidays

.wav file attachments in email no longer play

Up until yesterday, on my iPad mini, if I got a voice message .wav file as an attachment in my email, I could open it right from the message and listen to it. Now when I try to do so, the screen to play the message shows up for a second, then jumps back to the email message. I tried to listen to the message from my Xfinity account in Safari and got a black screen with a speaker symbol crossed out.
Could it be that my phone provider Comcast changed the encoding so that the .wav files are no longer compatible with mu iPad? (They still work on my iMac.) I am not aware of my making changes to the device or software that could cause this.
Thanks for any assistance on this.

Hey,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
To better assist you, what is the audio codec of the of the .wav file? And can you please provide the software version of the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone?
On a side note, I did some testing here with .wav voice mail email attachments and was able to play the file, so this may be an issue with the type of .wav file.
Thanks.

Pictures as file attachments

Hi.
I am a new Mac user and hope this is a simple question for someone to answer. I would like to know how to attach pictures to my email in Mail as files - i.e. not show are pictures in the body of the message, but attach as files the reciever can click on to open.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Vivienne.

I think that the way the files are handled may be more a function of the recipient's mail program than the way they are sent. I know what you are asking, but I don't know if there is any way to prevent the pictures from being shown in the body of the message when the recipient views it.
On second thought, you can create a new folder on your desktop, put your pictures inside it, and then attach this folder to your email message. It worked for me in a quick test. Not sure if it would create any problem for PC recipients. If it does, then you could go to File > Create Archive and then send the archived folder.

How do I create a pdf file of some iPhoto pictures

I deal with some client servers that will not allow embedded pictures in email message to pass through their firewall. So, I need to create a pdf file of some of my iPhoto pictures to send as an email pdf attachment. Can anyone help? I'm at a loss in trying to accomplish this. I have an iMac 27" running OS X 10.9.4 and iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2.

Use Pages (word processor) to put/arrange your images. Once done, save the document as a PDF file and attach it to your outgoing mail.

I'm using yahoo email on firefox but cannot download or save doc file attachments

Emails that I have received on my yahoo account contain attachments, saved as word documents or powerpoint or pdf files. Today, when I tried to download these files, the daownloading software could not recognise the file format in any of the files (I tried with twenty different files), and therefore could not download or save the files. The pop up window simply states "Resolving...." and does not change at all.
Please assist me to download file attachments on emails that come through yahoo, when I use Firefox as my browser.

Hi there,
Please take a look at this article ([[Managing file types]]). Let us know if it worked!

Damaged file attachments for several users

All of a sudden, a handful of people are reporting that file attachments on email are corrupted (jpegs with jagged lines in them, pdf files with garbled text, .sit and .zip files that don't open) and I'm not sure what the source of the issue is. Anyone had this happen before? I'm on server 10.4.11.

I have rebuilt one of the effected mailboxes with mailbfr, not sure if this will cure the issue.

Attachments on Email Notification

How can I see the attached files on the email notifications?
I would like to see the word document the user attaches to our online resume form in the email it sends me once the form is submitted. I would like to be able to do this without loggin into the site.
Can you help?

Sorry, we don't currently support direct access to file attachments in email notifications.

Unable to open iphoto pictures in aperture

I've moved my files from a mac mini to a macbook pro using time machine. I previously had my iphoto pictures linked to aperture. Now in aperture, when I'm in faces I can see the faces for all of my photos, both iphoto and aperture. However, when I go to an iphoto event via aperture in the browser pane I can see outlines of the iphoto pictures and file names, but on the image its self. If I click on one of the images the picture does not come up and there is an icon that looks like a picture or folder with a red slash through it. When I go into iPhoto all of the pictures are there. So, it appears there is a linkage problem between Aperture and the iPhoto library. Does anyone know how I can restore getting to my iPhoto pictures from Aperture? I'm hesitant to reimport as I don't want to duplicate everything.
Thanks

Is this the badge you are referring to? That is telling you that the images referenced master is offline. You will need to try to reconnect the masters using File->Locate Referenced Files.
Take a look at the manual for this before going ahead with it. See Working with Referenced Images

How can I convert an iphoto to a file rather than a picture?

I have several friends who would rather get my email with a file attached rather than photos? How can I do this with Iphoto?

Try this: in Mail's Composing preference pane set the format of the emails to plain text. Then once the photos are in the email Control-click on them and select "Show as icon" in the contextual menu.
That might let them see the photos as icons/attachments rather the view the photos. A lot depends on how they have their email client setup.
The sure fire way is to zip/compress the photos and adding the zipped file to the email.
The recipient will have to unzip the file at the other end to get the image files.

In iPHOTO it won't let me "choose any of the original pictures to include in an email or even copy and paste them else where? Why ?

In iPHOTO I can highlight a photo to include in an email, but after I select the a photo, the "choose" box will not darken to let me choose that photo or any of my original photos to put them in an email or even to copy and paste them else where.
The only changes I have done is the original photos were taken with a different digital camera from the one I use currently. The newer digital cameras photos can be selected and emailed just fine. What is not being recognized by the iPHOTO programing as to not let me select (choose) to older photos taken by the older original digital camera?

Thanks for the response to my query on emailing photos from iPHOTO. To answer your questions:
1. When I first connected my new digital camera to my iMAC and installed it's program from it disk, all went well and that program with Icons are currently on my desk top. When I down loaded pictures from this new camera into iPHOTO, I was asked if all pictures from this camera were to be down loaded into iPHOTO only, I answered yes.
2. I did nothing to the photos in iPHOTO, they are my original pictures setup in various groups and are not thumbnail copies of the originals.
3. And yes, I have tried to attach photos from iPHOTO directly into an email message in both Apple's MAIL program and even through my AOL service provider account to no avail. I get the same issues of not being able to choose older pictures for insertion in an email message, only newer pictures taken with the new camera.
4. I have even gone back into my external back files and restored older versions of iPHOTO and the same thing happens.
5. I have even thought of uninstalling the unused new camera's desk top files, but since there is nothing in these files and both my new and older cameras are Canon models, I can see no issues for removing the new camera files?
I hope this extra detail is lear to you and again tell for your assistants.

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media - Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media ->Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

How can I make pictures smaller in my iPhoto so that they can be emailed?

Unless the image files are over 10 MB in size you should be able to email them as is. How big are they?

I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto. I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome. After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
Thanks!

If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
Good luck,
Clinton

So you want to move the iPhoto Library?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
