Iphoto problem emailing photo

I get an error message saying that my username/password combination is incorrect whenever I try to email a picture from iphoto. Is there a solution for this. I know without a doubt that the username/password are correct.

What version of iPhoto are you using? Who is your mail service provider? Are you able to send mail from Apple's Mail application?
Alternatives might be to create an email and dragging and dropping photos onto it from iPhoto. You could also share using flickr, FaceBook or Photo Stream.
Best of luck.

Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

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.

Problem emailing photo from iPhoto11

When I select a photo to email and then click share, I am asked "do you want to set up iPhoto to email photos?" I then have a screen with 6 options: iCloud, mobileme, hotmail, yahoo mail, Gmail and AOL mail. I either have to select one of these or cancel. The problem is I do not use any of these for emails.
Can someone please help?

If you do not use a service tha tis supported then you can not use it
And Again
What e-mail service do you use? Does it work in Apple Mail? (if so then set Apple Mail as the e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences)

Problems emailing photos from iPhoto

When using Iphoto to email pictures from the IMac - the pictures reflect the correct pictues emailed on the IMac - however the pictures showing up in the persons email are not the ones I chose to send - for instance if I send 10 different pictures on three separate emails - they come to the person as the same pictures over and over and over.
Or I have also seen where it picks up photos that I didn't even send.

Using iPhoto To Email Photos

I've had all sorts of problems sending photos to people via iPhoto 6. If, for instance, I just drag the photos out of iPhoto and drop them into an email all seems to go well. Captions, for instance, stay under the photos in their proper place, and everyone gets the photos. When, on the other hand, I send photos via the Email Photos option in iPhoto all sorts of problems develop.
For instance, people with AOL email accounts sometimes get the photos and sometimes don't. People with web based email accounts like Yahoo, MyWay, etc. get the photos but each photo arrives as a separate attachment and the captions wind up not even in the neighborhood of the photos they belong to.
As with so many things related to computers I have no idea what iPhoto is doing behind the scenes when I ask it to email photos so it's tough to be able to figure out what is causing various problems. My "guess" is that iPhoto is compressing the jpgs because photos sent via iPhoto "medium size" are much smaller than those dragged into an email and sized medium via the selection box at the lower right corner of the email. But why do folks using web-based email accounts like Yahoo wind up with numerous attachments seperated from their captions.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You’re assembling RTF emails in Mail and you’re wasting your time because the folks on webmail simply do not have the capability to display it. You’re not doing anything wrong, it’s just web mail is pretty basic and doesn’t support rtf.
As for the folks on AOL well that’s going to be down to the settings on their end.
Remember, you really have no control whatever on how an email will display on someone else’s machine. It’s entirely in the hands of their settings and their service.

Problem emailing photos

I have been emailing photos with iPhoto for a year (since I bought my iMac) with no problems at all. Recently, when I try to email a photo, I select the size in iPhoto (e.g. Medium), Mail opens, the correct size photo flashes in the mail message and is immediately replaced by a mini thumbnail. The image size within Mail is set to Medium, but it's not working as the mini thumbnail is not Medium.
If I toggle the size setting within Mail to another size, then back to Medium, it seems to work. A medium-sized photo appears to be embedded in the mail message. However, when I tested this (sent the message to myself) the email I received only included the mini thumbnail again. (There was a separate attachment with the photo at the correct size.)
Any ideas how to correct this?
P.S. My mail is set to compose in Rich text and should embed the photos (as it did for the past year). I suspect there is a bug in Mail due to a software update....

I was also having this problem. Did a little sleuthing in Help. Here's the solution:
Add the photo to the email (using iphoto or any other method).
At the bottom of the new message screen there is a small text box/pop-up menu; it says "Image size" and then there are 4 pop up choices -- small, medium, large, actual size. Pick the one you want & voila!
Once I changed that pop up choice to "actual size" in the email program, it defaulted to that chosen size the next time I tried to share a photo via email using iphoto (or even when simply attaching directly through the email program). Prior to discovering this setting, no matter what size I chose in iPhoto, the photo was sizing as "small" - so mail was overriding the iphoto choice. Now, no more problem!

How do I get rid of MobileMe on my preference folder; it's still causing me problems when I have to iPhoto to email photos?

How can I delete all of the old MobileMe items on my iMac which is causing me a bunch of problems when I want to use iPhoto to send pictures. it reverts back to my old MobileMe info and hangs up or gets to the wrong people who have my old mobileMe email address? It's crazy, I've installed iCloud but the problem persist and I can't even use ICloud without having this issue do the wrong things for or it dosen't allow me me to use it in the iCloud configuration that is setup on my iMac. Am I missing a step here; please get me out this hangup?

IPhoto - problem sending photos by email

Hello,
I now encounter a problem when I want to transfer photos to friends, something quite new !!!
I get the following advertisement
"The mail server did not recognize the association of your usere name and password"
Can you help me solve this problem?
Thanks a lot for your help
Regards
Claire

First of all, I took the photos with my iPhone - then I transferred them to iPhoto included in my MacBookPro (using the USB) but I kept the photos in my iPhone.
Then, from my MacBookPro, I tried to send some photos to friends but got that message "The mail server did not recognize the association of your user name and password"....
So, I thought of trying to send those photos to friends FROM my iPhone and it worked beautifully.
Where is the catch?
Thanks Barry for trying to understand the problem

IPhoto problem. Photos are disappearing

I have a MacBook Air with OSX Version 10.9.3 and iPhoto 9.5.1....iPhotos has developed a problem in that my photos do not remain continuously visible any more. When I view my photos they appear briefly then disappear from the screen. When I click on an individual photo I get a black exclamation mark on a white triangle background with a black border. Can you please help correct this.

The ! shows up when iPhoto loses the link to the original file.
Have you used any apps to "clean" or "speed up" or otherwise "optimise" your Mac recently?
Assuming you haven't:
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.

I can't get iPhoto to email photos

I keep getting the message that the email server doesn't recognize the user name/password when I try to use iphoto to sent pics.

I'm guessing you're using iPhoto as the email client. That being said, go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane, delete the emal account and add it back.
If that doesn't solve the issue a better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane. Mail is more reliable, gives you a sent copy, provides better access to your contacts and does have layouts similar to iPhoto's themes in its stationary selections.

Emailing Photos in Iphoto '11 (emails prepopulating)

how do I delete an email that is incorrect in the iphoto email application? I sent a picture to the wrong email by accident and now that email address keeps popping up when i try and type in the correct email because the two emails are very similar. How do I delete it? I check my address book application and i only have the correct email listed.

What type of computer do the people having problems have?
One guy has a Mac -- if that the only person who has had a problem? Has he had the problem multiple times or only once? What e-mail client does he use?
on a given e-mail have you ever had some able to open the photo and others not?
To upgrade to 9.2.3 if you have an older Mac and got software restore disks with it use software update - it you have a newer Mac and get your software from the App store log into to the App store using the Apple ID you registered the computer with and look under purchased apps for updates - download and install from there
and again
IMHO the best solution is to quity using iPhoto to email photos and use Apple mail - set it as teh iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences

Im properly emailing photos in Iphoto 11, but recipients can't open.

Im properly sending photos from Iphoto, it says successfully sent, but some recepients are not able to see the photos, and some get boxes with question marks, using Iphoto 11 Vs 9.2.1. Inever had this problem before. Im also having a problem opening Iphoto sometimes. This Iphoto11 is problematic, and causing me much grief.

IOS4 emailing photo error

Ever since I upgraded to iOS4, I have had problems emailing photos. Pictures that I send out are mis-orientated and show up as attachments, meaning the pics are not embedded in the actual email. This never happened to me with the old OS...
See for yourself with my video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As0QeKNaQCY
Please help me Apple!

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account. Close and relaunch iPhoto and add the account back.
A better option is to change iPhoto's email client to Mail in iPhoto's General preference pane. This will give you better access to your contacts, an automatically saved copy and overall better reliability. Mail ask has photo templates in it's stationary options.
