IPhoto sending emails automatically?

I recently received a bizarre email from my mother with the subject "52 great iPhotos". The author of the email was "Administrator <[email protected]>" (it was her email address, though she doesn't use the word "administrator") and the body of the email contained 52 photos from her iPhoto library.
Trouble is, she never sent such an email. Could iPhoto be sending photos without her knowledge/consent? Could that be a virus?
Anyone have any ideas?

I would suggest that she change her password for that email account.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Sending emails automatically

    does anybody know how to send emails automatically if it meets the requirement, for example, will send emails automatically if an account balance is less than $100? are there any codes to guide me?

    Here's some code, just pass in the to, from, subject, and body in the constructor... You'll have to tweak the mail server ip's, etc... You need mail.jar, which is available somewhere on java.sun.com.
    I just use it to send email from my appserver, and I'm not using all the capabilities.. You can send attachments, multi-part mime, etc.. This class can easily be modified to do spamming, mailbombs, or newslists.

  • IPhoto sends emails in Rich format even if the default format is Plain Text

    Detailed Summary (wouldn't fit in the Topic Subject):
    iPhoto will always send emails in Rich Text format even if Mail application is set to send all emails in Plain Text format. In other words, emails initiated from iPhoto ignore the selected Message Format setting in the Mail application.
    Description:
    It is a better practice to email photos in the Plain Text format instead of Rich Text format so recipients using different email clients can easily download attached pictures as regular attached files.
    The workaround is to change the email format to Plain Text before sending it. This wouldn't be such a problem if you could make this a permanent setting however this is not possible. The Mail application has a specific setting for this but iPhoto simply ignores it. This is the issue I am raising here.
    How to reproduce the problem:
    1. Open the Mail application (Assuming you already have an email account configured)
    2. Go to Preferences, Composing tab
    3. Change Message Format to "Plain Text"
    4. Optional step to verify that the Plain Text is now the default format: Start a new email. Click on menu Format and you'll see "Make Rich Text" available, which means the current email is in fact in Text Format. Close this email.
    5. Open iPhoto
    6. Select one or more photos and click on the "Email" icon on the lower right hand side
    7. A details popup will open, click on "Compose Message"
    8. The Mail application will open as well as a New Email window with the Subject field filled out and the selected photos in the email body
    9. Click on the menu Format
    Expected: Th last option should be "Make Rich Text" indicating that the current email is in Plain Text format as determined by the Mail settings (steps 1-5 above)
    Actual: Last option is "Make Plain Text" which means the current email is fact in the Rich Text format which does not match the Mail application settings.
    Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue? Also, is there a fix for this? It is not an acceptable solution to tell users to manually select Plain Text for every email. I am tired of asking people to resend emails that way. That is a workaround, not a solution.
    Test details:
    - Mail Version 4.4 (1082)
    - iPhoto Version 8.1.2 (424)
    - OSX Version 10.6.5

    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback to report a bug.
    Can we at least get an acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue?
    Need to ask Apple that one.

  • How to send emails automaticly?

    Right now I am trying to write a Java program whose purpose is to send a group of people their monthly bill automatically.
    The program should be running like this:
    When I click the "send" button at the end of each month, all the bills should go to the right email boxes (the bill files should be attached to the email). Now I am having a hard time figuring out how to send an email AUTOMATICALLY. Can anybody give me a brief idea about how to do it? I'd appreciate it very much!

  • Send email automatically

    Hi all,
    I am a newbie. I have an application in which in one of the pages i'll take orders and want to send email confirmation automatically after creating the order. That is my task.
    But in order to do this First i have to install apex_mail package. This is where I got the issue.
    it is asking me yo install utl_mail package.
    so now i'm totally confused, Can somebody please help me(direct me) with a step-by-step instructions to setup and configure smtp in my application.
    I am using apex 3.2.1

    You have to login into Oracle apex as administration, not into workspace but into oracle apex_admin and in there you can go to
    Home>Manage Service>Instance Settings
    you can configure
    SMTP Host Address
    SMTP Host Port
    Administration Email Address
    Notification Email Address
    and then you can use the apex_mail.send package from a page process to send an email

  • Send email based on the date

    Hi,
    Does any one know how to send emails automatically based on a date. For example in the database we have birth days of all employees. All the employee details are being maintained using a JSF web application. An email has to be sent as birthday reminder. If any one has any ideas as to how to accomplish this from a webapplication or database please let me know.
    Thanks a lot,
    HeMan

    If U are usingOracle db, then there is a plsql package called ut_mail. It has a procedure that sends emails :
    utl_mail.send(sender => 'myName',
    recipients => '[email protected]',
    subject => myTopic',
    message => 'myMessage',
    mime_type=>'text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2'); If U want to do it in java, write application and use JavaMail.

  • Sending email from bash

    I need to send emails automatically and regularly triggered by an event.
    For the sake of simplicity and robustness i chose mail / mailx.
    Sympthom: 
    . I can send email to myself using my own MBP name [email protected]
    . I cannot send any email to outer addressees
      in /var/mail/mine  I got errors either "Connection refused" or "No route to host"
      that is in case of gmail.com domain.
    . Than I tried to configure mailx to use remote mail server  smtp.gmail.com:587
    (this one is used by my mail in Lion )
    Here is the ~/.mailrc congfig
    alias MYGROUP xxxx yyyy zzzz
    set smtp-use-starttls
    set ssl-verify=ignore
    set smtp=smtps://smtp.gmail.com:587
    set smtp-auth=login
    set smtp-auth-user=[email protected]
    set smtp-auth-password=mypass
    I started mailx -n -v so the mailrc was used since the delivery report showed all three mails but
    resulting in the same errors above and using the port 25 as if all set commands were ignored.
    Question: Is there a way to have it worked with this kind of configuration, if so what did I wrong.
    (They say it works in Linux / Solaris environment)

    Unfortunately that has made no difference. While connected on wifi Ive tried sending a mail. At the top of the screen next to the wifi sign there's something going round and round. At the bottom of the screen it says "sending".

  • How do I set up iPhoto '11 version 9.2.1 to send emails with medium/Large/actual size? I try sending photos to a publisher and iPhoto automatically shrinks them to about 40 kB.  Publisher needs between 0.5 and 7 MB.  My ISP has a limit of 12MB

    How can I get to email photos at higher resolution?
    My "iPhoto" or "Mail" automatically reduces photos to about 40 KB .
    My photos, taken with a  common Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 include flora which I send to a publisher.
    I am fairly new to my MacBook (Mac S X Version 10.6.8).  I have been using it for a year.
    I found I could not successfully send Large or Full size photos.
    A few days ago I downloaded a new version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11 version 9.2.1).
    Again, although I get the option of choosing to send small/medium/large//full size photos, it actually only sends them as "Small" (ie about 40kb) which is useless to publish.  If I drag a picture onto the desktop (where my EXIF tells me it is full size) then attach it to an email by dragging, againg the sent email is at "small" size ~40KB).
    My ISP (Westnet) tells me that their maximum accepted size is 12 MB.
    I suspect that I have failed to set up iPhoto for this purpose.  (I am well into retirement but, although geriatric, did study University Physics about half a century ago)

  • Send email to group in iPhoto '11-how to

    Hi-I have a group set up in my Address Book to send new photos of my grandson to selected people. Before I upgraded, I just typed in the name of the group and that was that. With this update though, it doesn't auto fill the people in the group. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I know there are other ways I can send the announcement but I do like the new format for sending within iPhoto. Thanks for any help! Judy

    If you don't like the new ways that iPhoto handles emailing then you can access the old way with a small change in how you work:
    1. Drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Mail icon in the Dock.
    or
    2. Use the Photo browser in Mail - or any Media browser in the entire OS
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can then resize the image in the iPhoto Window

    Using OX X 10.7.5 cannot send email from within iPhoto.  I get this error message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."
    If I change the preference to use email, everything goes fine but I lose the formatting feature.
