Mail attachment button from within Iphoto is not working wth mail

Just upgrade to Ilife 08 and now from iphoto when select apicture and click on mail it never creates a new mail message with my photos attached. geez this is such a simple bug how could it be missed.

eudamon:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you repair disk permissions after installing iLife 08? If not do so now. Next delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Attaching pictures to Mail from within iPhoto

    For my sister in law I am trying to find out, why she cannot attach photos to mails anymore, i.e. from within iPhoto. In iPhoto, when you select one or more photos, then click on Mail on icon list below the photos, the photos are prepared for attachment. In a pop-up window you can choose from different sizes, for example. When you click on ok, a progress bar appears. Once the process is complete nothing happens, Mail does not open. Also, there is no draft mail created in Mail. What went wrong? How do I fix it? Attaching photos by dragging them on the Mail icon in the dock works fine, though. Thanks a lot in advance.

    Given that iPhoto goes through the motions of resizing etc, I would suspect the problem is at the Mail end.
    Has she tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility?

  • I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

  • Email from within iPhoto '08 (7.1.1) quit working

    I am running Leopard (10.5.1) and iPhoto '08 (7.1.1) on a 2.4ghz 17" MBP. Whenever I try to email a photo from within iPhoto it pops up a window to let me choose size & options, I hit the Compose button, it will then popup a window saying that it is Preparing photos for email... then that window just goes away and it never creates the new email. I see this same behavior regardless of whether or not Mail is already open and regardless of what photo I am trying to email. This was working fine in the past... believe that it quit working after the upgrade to 10.5.1 (but not absolutely positive of that)... Any troubleshooting ideas would be greatly appreciated as I use this feature quite often.
    Cheers!
    Kirk

    Kirk:
    Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Next, if needed, download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Do you Twango?

  • Cannot send email from within iPhoto

    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.

    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. Check out the Stationery...

  • "Send" button not working in Mail

    Picked up Leopard on an iMac two days ago. Some of the time when I compose a new email, Mail works fine--I click "send" once I'm through typing and out it goes.
    Other times--like this morning--I try to send an email and the "send" button is transparent and does not click. This is not a server issue. I tried adding the recipients to my address book in case there was some weird thing where that had to be done first. But to no avail--the "send" button won't click, nor will the "send" command within the toolbar or drop-down menus--and so I have no clue how I'm supposed to send this email if the button to do it is not working. Help!

    Unfortunately, the SMTP and outgoing mail settings aren't the issue. The issue is that the "send" button is visible but un-clickable. I tested sending mail from all of my accounts and it works just fine--sometimes. Other times, I try to reply to an email or send out a new one and the "send" button does not allow me to send anything at all.

  • Deleting images from HD from within iPhoto

    I know this topic has been discussed in an incredibly unimpressingly high number of discussions forums throughout the world. I know that I should be able to find the answer in one ore more of these forums, but two days has passed and my girlfriends is getting ****** because I am still swearing in front of my computer. So, please help me.
    I recently startedusing iPhoto (still unsure whether this was smart or not). I have UNchecked “Copy images to iPhoto library”, which means that iPhoto is working with my original files as they were and will be stored in my own catalogue structure.
    I deleted pictures from within iPhoto, and emptied the trash folder in iPhoto. The photos disappear from the interface in iPhoto, but when using Finder I see that the photo is still in its catalogue on the HD - as they were before I deleted them from within iPhoto. It seems to me that it is impossible to, from within iPhoto, permanently delete a picture form BOTH iPhoto library AND the HD.
    The logic of iPhoto hence differs from the logic of iTunes. When you delete a song from iTunes, you are asked if you also want the file/song deleted from the HD. Not so with iPhoto.
    Does this mean that iPhoto is unable to delete a picture from the HD? And if so, who the **** decided to make iPhoto so utterly incapable of accomplishing such simple and fundamental task?

    This was a bit frustrating since I only (or at least mainly) bought iPhoto for the purpose for looking thorugh my pictures and deleting the once I do not want to keep - witch iPhoto is not capable of doing since I want to keep my files (or at least the ones I do not want to delete) in its original catalogue structure on the HD.
    this is incorrect - Unless you tell iPhoto that you want to manage your originals yourself deleting from iPhoto and emptying the iPhoto trash and the system trash totally delete the photo from iPhoto and from disk
    IF you spcifically choose to manage your own originals then you have to manage your originals as you want to - this is one of many reasons what this mode of operation is not recommended
    LN
    Perhaps this isa matter for terminology? You say that I "want to manage" the originals myself, and you use this as a way of characterizing my wish to keep the files in their original file structure and not in the iPhoto library.
    Regardless of terminology (so please do not refer to “you want to manage” and “you opted tomanage yourself”), what I take from your input is that IF I want to keep the files in their original catalogue structure and not in iPhoto library, THEN I cannot use iPhoto as a tool to manage (hereunder deleting from the HD) the pics.
    Hopefully I ammistaking on the way I read you. Nothing would make me happier than to learnthat I can (1) keep the files in its original catalogue structure, (2) AND useiPhoto to delete from the HD the files I do not want to keep.

  • "Attachment" button from the Adobe Player

    I am creating courses in Adobe Presenter 9. Is it possible to remove the "Attachment" button from the Adobe Player when veiwing the course?

    Hi There,
    Greetings from Adobe.
    If i understand correctly, in order to remove "Attachment" button you have to go Themes in Adobe Presenter and in Themes Editor under customize, select Full screen instead of Default in Display.
    "Attachment" button will not appear in Full screen mode. If enable mode switching option in Themes Editor is checked then you can switch from Full screen to Default mode while previewing the course.

    Restoring iPhoto 9 (11) Themes
    First look in your HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there move it to the Trash. Also look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder.  If there is one move it to the Trash.  Reinstall iPhoto as described below:
    1 - delete the current application.
    2 -files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    3 - mount the disk that iPhoto 11 came on, either an iLife 11 disc or the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto. 
    If iPhoto 11 came with the computer then double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install.
    Apply all of the latest iPhoto 9 (11) updates followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.

  • Why can I no longer play movie files from within iPhoto '08

    After uploading all my stills and movie files from by digital camera to iphoto '08, I used to be able to click and play a movie file from within iphoto. The frame and duration still appear but no response. Have I inadvertantly switched something off or has the funtionality changed as a result of my upgrading the OS.

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • IPhoto is not working in my 5s. What should I do

    Changed my phone from 4s to 5s and now iPhoto is not working. When I open it it says" the photo library of this device is updating"

    Have you restarted your iPhone?  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
    Restart the app
    Close the app and open it again.
    Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    If that does not help, reinstall iPhoto - that fixed the same problem for me, but that will delete the iPhoto library, so your journals and slideshows will be lost. You may want to make a backup of your iPhone before you try that.
    Reinstall the app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
    Delete the app.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store and download the app again.
    Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
    If the download stops, you can resume it.
    If even reinstalling iPhoto does not help, restore your iPhone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

  • LDAP Autoaddressing not working in Mail

    I have LDAP directory services set-up in Mail and it works perfectly when doing look ups directly from Address Book. It was working fine from within Mail at first but I seem to run into times when the autoaddressing feature does not work in Mail at least not using LDAP. I have autoadressing enabled in the Mail preferences and as noted, LDAP clearly functions as I can use it successfully from the Address Book look-up function. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Hi Maria,
    as far I know the application is designed a way, that once there is an empty email this will not be sent at all.
    Could you therefore first test the mail form - you can test it with a business partner with the mkt attributes assigned:
    If this gives an empty mail, with the text elements not available the issue is related to the conditions of the text fields. You then need to check the conditions.
    Alternatively you can try to add any text to the mail form that is displayed independently from the conditions - the mails should then be sent even for the business partners with mkt attributes assigned.
    best regards,
    Johannes

  • Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web points to Mozilla update."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?

    Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
    I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

    I'm a real person, thanks.
    If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
    Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
    General advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference in how Yahoo! works?
