Mail corrupts photo's send to me

I'm having some trouble recieving email with photo's attached/inline. Some of the images will display correctly, but others are messed up. They start out correctly, but at some point the 'real' image stops and either a grey block, or a ghost-like repetition of a part of the image follows in the lower half.
When viewing the same images in the same email on another computer, they're just fine. (PC, XP, Thunderbird, Save attachemnts, view with firefox)
So the files/attachments/photo's seems to be ok, however I'm not able to correctly retrieve them on my home computer.
I'm using an imap account by the way.
Any idea what's going on here?

Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
Each of the following steps has been reported to help with Exchange issues, at least temporarily, in some cases:
1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings. The messages will still be on the server.
2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
3. Reindex messages.
4. Follow the instructions in this support article to disable autodiscovery. You may need to get configuration details from the server administrator.
5. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
6. If you've created subfolders of the Exchange inbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. The inbox should have no subfolders.
7. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
8. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail.

  • How do I e-mail a photo in iphoto 9.6

    Hello. I am using Yosemite and finding it difficult to e-mail a photo like I used to be able to.  Previously I would select a photo, then
    click on the bottom right and the photo would show up in my Mac mail program.  Now when I select the photo it comes up with the to/from/subject
    right in the iPhoto program.  I tried sending it by clicking on Share/Mail and it goes out but I have no idea where the sent copy is as it is not in
    my Mac Mail sent file.  Is there any way I can click on the photo and have it show up in Mac Mail so I could send it from there?
    Thank you.

    You are welcome - they are in the receiver's inbox - when you use iPhoto last th email client there is no sent mailbox - one of many reasons that I personally recommend that people use mail

  • The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.   From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

    The problem is with the new operating system  and sending photo via email when used in my iPad.
    From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
    Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto '09

    E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto ‘09
    Hi:
    We used to have a great way of e-mailing photos from iPhoto: specifically, we just clicked the Entourage e-mail icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window, chose the size of the photos we wished to send (ie, one was given options for how much one wished to reduce the size of the photos), and it was done.
    Now that we’ve upgraded to Outlook 2011 we seem to have lost this functionality.
    I tried to choose Outlook 2011 as our default e-mail program under iPhoto>Preferences>”Email photos using :” but the only 4 options are AOL,Eudora, Mail, and Entourage. Interestingly, the icon used here is Outlook 2011, not Entourage (yellow, not purple), but it still says “Microsoft Entourage” next to the yellow icon, and the mail icon at the bottom of the main iPhoto window is still the purple Entourage icon (and if one clicks it, it tries to open Entourage).
    I then went into Apple’s Mail program under Preferences, and made sure that the “Default email reader” option was set to Microsoft Outlook 14.1.4 (which it was), but iPhoto still uses Entourage.
    I searched the web and found a tip saying that one can drag photos from iPhoto over the Outlook icon in the dock to mail photos. I was thrilled to see that this worked, only to realize that it sends full size photos, without the downsizing option discussed above.
    I thought about upgrading iPhoto to the ’11 version, but a plethora of the online reviews were less than laudatory about the stability of iPhoto '11, so decided to stay with ’09.
    Thus, does anyone have suggestions for easily sending reduced size photos from iPhoto using Outlook 2011? I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos, but I would love to find a much more intuitive and quick method, similar to what we had with iPhoto and Entourage.
    Thank you very much!!!
    iPhoto ’09 8.1.2 (4124)
    OS 10.6.8
    Outlook: Mac 2011 v 14.1.4

    I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos,
    No you don't need to do that. Just use the Export dialogue in iPhoto to reduce the quality - it's exactly the same as the one used when sending to a mail app.
    As for the comments about iPhoto 11 - search and you'll find pretty much the same ones about iphoto 09, 08, 6, 5 etc

  • Filenames of photos I send via Iphone to for example Outlook

    When I e-mail a photo from my Ipad or Iphone to my PC or MacBook the filename is always equal like image1 image2 image3. Next e-mail: image1, image2. So after saving photo's from e-mail one, I have problems with the namings of the photo's from e-mail 2 etc etc etc. On a daily base I receive lots of images from different devices but saving them is a nightmare.
    How can I change the filename before I send them? Is there a setting for on your iphone/ipad? Or is there another solution?
    Hope so, cost me a lot of effort.
    Regards,
    Robert

    I am not sure whether this is what you are looking ofr but you can set up groups in contacts using icloud.com
    Log in to your cloud account on your computer and open contacts there.Click on the litte ribbon at the top that has the silhouettes of the people then the plust sign at the bottom and add the group and then it should sync to your phone if you have contacts on in settings/icloud.  Once it is createed and you have added the poeple to the group then it should sync for you

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Problem e mailing with photos attached

    I have written an e mail attached photos but am unable to send as my blackberry is using an old e mail address. How do I rectify this?

    You need a BB data plan on the device and you need to set up your own email on it.

  • Corrupted Photo Hides iPhoto Library from other iLife apps

    I was recently using iMovie HD to create a movie for church and wanted to insert some still images given to me by the pastor. I imported the images into iPhoto, but found that iMovie reported that I needed to "Launch iPhoto 2 or later to populate this list."
    I am a regular user of iPhoto 6 for my own personal needs, and have launched it dozens of times on my computer, so this puzzled me. I checked the help files and found under the article entitled "I don't see any photos in the Photos pane," which simply says that I must be using iPhoto 4 or higher and have opened iPhoto at least once, both of which are true, but I relaunched iPhoto just in case, but to no avail.
    Checking to see if the problem was with iMovie, I found that I also had no access to my photos from iDVD, so the problem seems to be with iPhoto.
    I also checked out Apple's support database, and found the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75491, "iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications." Following these instructions, including the recreation of the XML file, yielded no positive results.
    After some experimenting with iPhoto/iMovie on other computers and in other accounts, I found that when I imported a particular set of pictures was when the pictures disappeared from iMovie. I tried deleting these pictures from my own main iPhoto library, but the problem was not solved. I finally found out that once the corrupted photo had been imported into iPhoto, nothing I would do would allow the iPhoto pictures to be viewable from other applications.
    I eventually solved this by renaming my iPhoto library, using GraphicConverter to convert the suspect files in batch mode and importing the converted files into a new iPhoto library. This at least allowed me to get the movie finished, but I now have two iPhoto libraries on my computer, only one of which is visible to other iLife applications.
    I found out that if I held down some keys while launching iPhoto, I would be given the option to rebuild the iPhoto library using four checkboxes: Rebuild small thumbnails, Rebuild all thumbnails, Rebuild Library database and recover orphaned photos. I've done all four to no effect.
    So, after all of that, my final question is, is it possible to restore my iPhoto library such that I can again access it from other iLife applications without losing the many albums I've created?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    So far, no go with iPhoto Library Manager, although the program and the help files that come with it have suggested some leads.
    First of all, when I open iPhoto Library Manager, it reports:
    The album data file for this library is malformed.
    XML parser errors:
    Encountered unexpected character k on line 59525
    Old-style plist parser error:
    Malformed data byte group at line 1; invalid hex
    So I opened AlbumData.xml in BBEdit and checked out line 59525 (as suggested by the iPhoto Library Manager help files) and found that it looked like this:
    <string> <key>274</key>
    Above it is the line:
    <key>771</key>
    Most <key><string> pairs look like this:
    <key>XXX</key>
    <string>KeywordName</string>
    So for some reason, the problem line isn't closing the string tag. I tried editing the keyword that came after the problem line, but it didn't fix the parse error. From what I can tell, manually editing the AlbumData.xml file won't solve the problem, as iPhoto only writes to it for other applications, and doesn't read it. The next time I launch iPhoto, it would simply write the same data.
    I also checked for the string 771 in the file as that's the keyword ID that appears before the parse error, but it's only found in relation to an album and a roll.
    Because of this, iPhoto Library Manager can't rebuild the library. However, the help files do offer the author's email address, and it's obvious that he's spent time looking into this type of problem (the help files describe exactly the problem behavior I'm having with the error message seen in iMovie). So I'm going to zip up the AlbumData.xml file and send it to him. While I do that, I may look through the keywords more closely and see if any of them look like they have suspect characters. Perhaps renaming them will solve the problem.
    Of course, this keyword clue doesn't explain why importing un-keyworded photos would cause the problem in the first place, but if I can get it fixed, I'll be happy.

  • When i go onto iPhoto and choose a photo to send via email, i click send and the photo is sent and received but doesn't appear in my email sent items ?

    when i go onto iPhoto and choose a photo to send via email, i click send and the photo is sent and received but doesn't appear in my email sent items ?

    This is not the iPhoto forum. In any case in iPhoto>Preferences select Mail or whatever email program you are using to email as the desired choice. You are probably sending directly through iPhoto.

  • Why does my iphone only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?

    why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?

    Are you sending via Camera itself?
    That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
    then select another picture,
    Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
    The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
    Then select Mail or Message and transmit.

    Hello Sue,
    I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
    I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
    It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

  • Problem with replies in Maverick's mail.  Originating emails send fine.  When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent.  Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc.  Any suggestions would be helpful

    Problem with replies in Maverick's mail.  Originating emails send fine.  When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent.  Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Mid 2013 iMac.

    I don't know how rare this is.  I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur.  Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on.  Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
    This is a show stopper.  If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
    UPDATE:  The problem comes and goes.  The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds.  Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming.  I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

    Jane,
    From what venues are you experiencing this failure -- home or cafes? In a few cases, the ISP will simply NOT allow the use of SMTPs other than the one they provide. In those cases you have no choice but to use the SMTP provided by your ISP as the Outgoing Server, even in your .mac account.
    With that background, please review your problem and what you have tried. I tried to review your other posts, but I think you need to provide me a summary, as I have to run now.
