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 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 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.

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 will not send photos by email?

Help - I have checked all the previous comments on the above issue and have tried the majority of them to no avail. I have checked another computer's details that now seems to work fine against my own. I have checked Mail preferences and iPhoto preferences ensuring that all the details were the same.
Have tried deleting iCloud from iPhoto and re-adding, and changing password to ensure it complies. Run disk utilities and checked that all is okay but still nothing seems to work. I did transfer from mobile me to iCloud but initially all seemed to work ok, have used the same system for years without any problems, then all of a sudden it stops working.
My outgoing server is smtp.me.com have tried adding mail to it but that does note work.
I use the book facility for holiday photos sending them off to Apple via iPhoto but fear unless I can get this working again may not be able to use this either.
Would appreciate it if anyone else has any ideas what I can try.

Trouble sending photos in email from iPhoto

says my email username/password combination are wrong and won't send photos in email. My username and password combination are correct. So, not sure what to do next. All parameters are configured the same as I have in Mail app, which works

Are you using Yosemite and not apple's Mail app? Then you may need to set up an app-specific password: See the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)

Iphoto sending photo per email with entourage

dear all, since when I updated online the mac applications (all of them), I can't choose anymore Entourage for sending photos per email from iphoto: the only choice I get is Mail (that I do not use). I have already disselected Mail as preferred application, but the Entourage name on Iphoto preferences always appear in a grey colour and I can not select it.
can anybody help me to get back to my previous situation? thank you very much to the angel who will help me

Since you installed all those updates, I suggest you try these procedures to get things back to normal:
1. Restart your computer to repair the directory if needed.
2. Run "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utility located in your Applications>Utilties Folder.
3. Try iPhoto again. If it doesn't work then QUIT iPhoto.
4. Your iPhoto preferences file may be corrupted.
(MAKE SURE you QUIT iPhoto first)
You will find it in your Home directory:
(Home/your account) >Library>Preferences>com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Remove or trash the preference (.plist file) and restart iPhoto.

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.

Sudden Problem Sending Photos by Email

Hi,
After being able to successfully send photos from my iPhone by email ever since I got it, I suddenly have a problem. The recipient does not receive the photo - only a small blue box with a question mark in it. The copy of the email in my Sent folder looks the same.
I've tried a reset and, for info, I use BT Yahoo for email.
Have hunted high and low for reference to this and only found one post but there was no real explanation or resolution.
Any help or advice gratefully received. Cheers!

Which MacOS X version are you using and which iPhoto version?
If you are using Yosemite and have enabled up two-step verification for iCloud? Then you may need to create an application specific password for iPhoto.

Problem sending photos by Email. Received a response from T. Devlin. Did not solve problem. I had already done what he suggested.

I had already entered my Email info under preferences.
The screen comes up with the photos I want to send.
I type my message and hit Send. The blue bar appears "Sending".
However, don't know where the photos go, they don't reach destination.
I tried sending to myself at another Email address - they didn't arrive, and they are not shown under Sent Emails either.
How to resolve?
Tried to respond to T. Devlin - but that didn't happen either. Just a Like symbol was there (as in Facebook).

How to send photos as email attachments???

This is a ridiculously easy and simple question but I'm a mac newbie and can't figure out how to send photos as email attachments, not embed them in the body of the email. Every time I go to send a picture or group of pictures from i-photo an email message opens....the pictures are embedded in the body of the email and that's how they appear to receipients. In a test, I've sent them to a PC...the message comes through just fine but the photos don't have separate attachments that I can click on and "save as." they come through as bitmap files. Any ideas? THANK YOU.

It will not ALWAYS fix the problem that this topic is about; I had my Mail preferences set to send as Plain Text and it did not fix the problem. Additionally, since there is NOT an option in Iphoto as you previously noted, it might be confusing to some people.
However, for those of you who have the same problem, there seems to be a solution that worked for me. I also had the problem that Mail was overriding my sizing preference when I selected them in Iphoto (share > email) and always sending them as small instead of medium as I preferred.
Since it seems that sometimes Mail does not deploy the plain text default so you need to kick start it to remember. This is how I did it....
- Select the photos you want and hit SHARE > EMAIL in Iphoto
- Now, in Mail click on the photo browser button
- Find another photo in Iphoto via the browser and drag and drop it into the email that you're composing
- You'll see a size option appear in the bottom right hand corner
- Playing around with the sizing option a few times kicked it into gear and it seems to be working better since then
I hope that helps anyone who has had the same problem.

I just downloaded Photos and I have lost the ability to easily send photos by email via Outlook. Any suggestions?

I just downloaded Photos and I have lost the ability to easily send photos by email via Outlook. Any suggestions?

If you use Mac Mail and Microsoft Outlook mail like I do, you could switch from one to the other mail program for send photos.
iPhoto >> Preferences >> General tab >> E-mail foto's via >> select Microsoft Outlook.
Click a photo in iPhoto >> Share >> select E-mail … >> Microsoft Outlook will be launch.
