Iphoto won't send photo

Using iPhoto to send photos and the status bar completes and gives a message that 1 photo has been sent. The photo NEVER arrives. I've been on support calls with Apple, but no resolution. The email address I'm sending from works fine in my mac email, but not in iphoto. I've tried all of the possible outgoing mail ports but nothing seems to fix the problem.

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 won't send photos by email?

Although photos look as though they have been sent by email they are not in fact transmitted. can anyone help please?

Apologies my message was marked MacBookPro (this appears to be highlighted in your reply - I am new to the discussions forum and didn't realise the protocol). I have an IMac 27inch and have made sure that the settings for Apple Mail match those of my MacBookPro are similar to my IMac. The Imac sends photos whereas the MacBookPro doesn't. Whereas AppleMail shows the photos as having been sent with my MacBookPro they are not shown in the in box if I copy them to myself.

IPhoto won't send photos via 'share-email'

iPhoto has stopped sending my pix through 'share' 'email' -- Worked fine, just quit. All other email messages coming and going fine via 'Mail.'
Dialogue box appears:
"Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.

Mail and iPhoto Problems with sending photos.
I have this problem that started a while ago and seems to be getting worse.
Here are the different scenarios.
-If I try to share a photo to email within iPhoto, it will insert the image file name in the mail message, but no image icon or opened image. In iPhoto Preferences under General I have chosen to use Email Photos using Mail.
-If I choose to use iPhoto to send the photo, it will compose the message and the photo is viewable. If I send the message i can view the photo within the email I sent to myself. Nothing happens when I double click on the photo in the Mail message. Nothing happens when i control click on the photo in the mail message. Nothing happens when I try to drag the photo to the desktop from the mail message. When I try to save attachments from the email and choose a place to save it, the save button is grayed out and it cannot be saved. When I check the mail message it says there is an attachemnt but there is no file size listed.
-If I use the stationary within Mail app I cannot drag a photo into the placeholder, I get a circle with a line through it symbol when I try. It happens if I try to drag a photo from the desktop or from the media browser within Mail app.
-If I drag the photo to the desktop from iPhoto, I can double click it on the desktop and it will open in Preview.
-If I then control click on the same photo on the desktop and scroll to share/email, the generic photo icon will be inserted in the mail message. If i double click the photo icon in the mail message I get a message it can't be opened because it is empty.
-If I drag that same image to the mail message body the same thing happens.
-If I send that email to someone they cannot open the image file.
What I can do:
- I can drag that same image file on the desktop to my dropbox folder and it will upload. From there I can go on my iPad and download the photo and send it through email just fine.
-I can open the same image file on my desktop in Preview, I can copy and paste it into a mail message and the image will be viewable in the mail message by me and by the recipient.
-I can drag that same image on the desktop to my safari browser window and it will be viewable in the page. i can then copy and paste that image into a mail message and it is viewable in the message. I can then send that email message to myself and i can control click on the image and get all my options. It also shows as an attachment with the size of the image file in the mail message.
I can send that message to someone and they can see the photo and open it fine.
-If I send that same email to me I can see the photo within the mail. If I then drag that photo to the desktop I cannot use it again to put in an email as the same problem happens again.
I have tried all scenarios in my user account, another users account and in a guest account. The same happens in all. I am guessing because of this it is not a corrupt preference file, unless all of the preference files are corrupt. The guest user account I added a new email account so it was brand new and still had the problem.
I am stumped, all and any help is appreciated.

Another problem that may be related….
I have Snapz Pro. I used to be able to save the snaps to my desktop or a folder. Now when I take a screenshot and try to save the file to my desktop or a folder on my desktop I get this message "Files cannot be created in the selected location. You do not have permission to write to the selected location. Please choose a different location." I have found that i can only save the file to the clipboard. I have repaired permissions many times and still I have this problem.

Iphoto won't share photos by email, share file won't open.

iphoto won't share photos by email, share file won't open. what do I do?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!

and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database? Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
Those are the two options to use.
Here's another fix you can try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

IPhoto won't download photos from camera.

iPhoto won't download photos from camera. iMac 10.6.8; iPhoto updated. No Name comes up, says "downloading," but color wheel only goes round and round. I've let it go on for 20" to no avail. Only way to get out of iPhoto then is to Force Quit. Tried downloading pictures through a Card Reader with same results.
Same camera, same procedure for last 5 years and never had this problem. Thanks for any advice.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Lost power to external HD; Now iPhoto won't show photos

Hi all,
This is a really easy one. I store all my photo from iPhoto '08 (Version 7.1.5) on an external HD. I accidentally disconnected the power to my external HD and now iPhoto won't load the photos. It created some kind of default folder where there are just 2 photos in it.
How do I tell iPhoto to point to the files on my external HD?
Thanks

Eject the drive, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Volumes/ as the path, move any folders inside to the desktop or Trash as desired, and reconnect the drive.

IPhoto: trouble with sending photos via gmail.

For some reasons, for about one or two months ago start having troubles with sending photos from iPhoto via gmail.

In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

IPhoto won't import photos from new 70D

Hi - I'm hoping for some guidance. I was a Rebel Xsi user for years, and just got a 70D. I used to be able to plug my camera in and iphoto would open up and import everything. Now, it only works sporadically, which is even weirder than not working at all. Right now I have 100+ photos from two important events sitting on my memory card that iphoto won't recognize. It imported about a dozen photos I took today without a problem, though. The photos are viewable from the camera. I can't recall changing any settings between taking those photos and the ones I took today. It doesn't make a difference if I plug the SD card directly into my computer; the software is still not recognizing any of the photos that are on the card. Any ideas?
Using:
Canon EOS70D
Macbook Pro with iPhoto '09

Note that on a 70D the WiFi feature must be disabled in order to transfer images to your computer via USB method.
This only applies to the cameras that have WiFi (70D & 6D).
Also, if you do shoot in RAW format, then you'll need to make sure your computer is updated with the latest Camera RAW Updates from Apple. This only applies to RAW... not JPEG. Also I noticed you mentioned iPhoto '09 ... which is rather old and made me wonder if your version of OS X might also be old. Apples Camera RAW updates are provided at the operating system level (because the same Camera RAW update is shared by Finder, Preview, iPhoto, Aperture, and anything else that might need to decode a RAW file. My point for mentioning this is that if your OS version is too old then Apple may no longer be providing updates. In that case you'd need to updgrade the OS (but Apple gives their OS upgrades away -- they don't charge for them.)

IPhoto won't import photos from iPhone

Hi - using a MBP 2.2, Leopard, iLife 08 and an 8gb iPhone. iPhoto used to import photos from the iPhone no problem - now it won't import it at all. Says it's an unreadable file (though a normal jpg).
What gives? Same issue trying to import two jpg's rec'd via email (and dragged to my desktop).
Any suggestions?

I have this problem now. I have MacOS 10.5.1, iPhoto '08, and iPhone running 1.1.2.
In my "camera roll" on the iPhone are 260 photos, all the pics I have taken since I got the phone. I imported some of them weeks ago with no problems into iPhoto. But now iPhoto can't import anything from the iPhone.
iPhoto does know there are photos on the phone, because there is set of blank thumbnail squares that I can select to import. When I look at the photo info, I can see the file name, size, date, but all the other info is missing or incorrect. It doesn't have camera maker or model. Most worrying though is the height and width of the pictures are zero.
I am thinking that there is some cache file on the phone that got corrupted somehow. Resetting to factory settings might help, but I really don't want to lose all the photos that I took from the holidays.
I've tried the above suggestions and no avail: logged out and into the .Mac account; powered down the phone; reset the iSync history (interestingly, iSync does not recognize my phone when I do a device scan).
I did try removing some stuff to make room, but still no dice.

Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

Sounds like you have a damaged library7 To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos. If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Messages app won't send photos

I'm trying to send a photo to my iPhone via the Messages app on my Macbook Pro but it won't send. It keeps telling me the message failed. How can I fix this?
I have the Macbook Pro from mid 2014 I guess, I got it from school. It's the one with retina display? I updated to the newest OSX and the messages app seems to be the only thing malfunctioning.

Hi,
Try zipping the file first.
It does seem there is some sort of issue.
It is somewhat random though.
Some say it effects AIM conversations, some jabber and some other accounts like the iMessages one.
Some say it effects Messages 8 in Yosemite to other OS version and earlier version of Messages or iChat.
Zipping seems to work for AIM conversations.

IPhoto won't keep photos in the relevant album

iMac 2011, iPhoto'11 Version 9.5.1, OS 10.9.4
What I successfully used to do: Launch iPhoto; Open a newly created album on the left of its big window; Drag a photo (jpg or tiff) from a system folder on the Desktop on to that iPhoto big window; It appears. I can then switch to another iPhoto album and back again to the newly created iPhoto album and the new photo re-appears as expected.
What happens now: I do the above but when I switch to another iPhoto album and back againback to the newly created iPhoto album (as described above), the photo is missing in iPhoto's big window. I find the missing photo in iPhoto > Recent > Last Import. If I drag it from Last Import on to the newly created iPhoto album (on the left of iPhoto's big window), a new sub-folder is created "untitled album 2" and selected and the image appears in iPhoto's big window. The new photo also appears in iPhoto > Library > Events and Photos. If I delete the new photo from Events and Photos (Delete then CNTRL + click on Trash), it disappears from there but is still in the "untitled album 2" (above). All this is weird behaviour.
If instead I open an already existing iPhoto folder which contains other photos, and drag the same photo into its big window, it is added to that folder in the usual way, with no need to drag it from Last Import and "untitled album 2" is not created created.
Something is seriously wrong here. The App Store says that Version 9.5.1 is the current version.
How can I return to doing what I successfully used to do for many years as described above?
Thanks for any help.

I think I have found the answer. What I had done was to create a FOLDER "Summer Holiday 2014" and a sub-FOLDER "Seaside" and a sub-FOLDER in that for my photos. That was the way that did not work.
I have just created an ALBUM "Summer Holiday 2014" and a sub-ALBUM "Seaside". This seems to work.
But suppose I want to create the following hierarchy:
Heading
               Sub heading
                    Sub-sub heading 1
                         Photos
                    Sub-sub heading 2
                         Photos
Which of these four items in bold should be created as folders and which albums?
Here is an image of the above layout in case the indentation did not work:
