Mobile Me Albums: Tell a friend buttom gone

I no longer have the option in iphoto 11 to click on the "tell a friend" button. This button allowed me to send an e-mail to my friends titled View An Album. Do I have to go into mobile me to do that now? The e-mail button in iphoto11 only allows you to e-mail photos inside iphoto which is nice but I need the previous mentioned function.

It's in the Info pane for that gallery:

"Tell a Friend" email from MobileMe album - no images or formatting

When I use "tell a friend" from a MobileMe album, it usually calls up "mail" with fancy body text with images of the key album photo with links and a nice layout.
Now, when I use it, it just comes up with plain text as the email message. I don't know why or how I can change it back to the way it used to be.
I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the cmd+option launch and checking the last three boxes. Anything else I have missed out? I'm not using any email encryption software as well. Just Apple "mail".
Thanks,
Howie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your Mail preferences set for RTF formatting or just plain text? That might be the reason. Set it to RTF if it's not that already. Other than that try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.

How can I tell a friend that I have posted a new album to my gallery

In the old iPhoto once the album was published on the web/Mobileme gallery there was a link to tell a friend. How can i do that now in iPhoto11 please?

Sending "tell a Friend" in Mobile me?????

I'm able to compose the email to "tell a friend" and able to click send, but I get the rainbow wheel and eventually get an alert that tells me "unable to send email, try again later"
am I the only one that has this problem?
thanks

I do not think so - I usually send myself a copy (seperate e-mail addresses by commas) so I know

Is there a history of "tell a friend"

I found this one album and I emailed it to my friend to see what he thought awhile ago. Now I forget what the album was..Anyways, I was wondering if there is a history of the albums or songs you sent to someone by using "tell a friend"

It only "remembers" the currently copied file - so, if you have since used the copy function on something else (or shutdown/restarted the Mac), the previously copied file is gone (unless you pasted it somewhere of course).

Tell a friend MobileMe gallery not working in Aperture 3

I am trying to share my gallery photos - tell a friend is not working this week - it has worked fine for the past 3 years - what's up?

Steve,
is that the same for all your galleries, or only one particular gallery?
Do your galleries sync o.k. with Mobile Me? Do you see the sync sign below?
Try, if you can "Tell a friend" from the "Web Interface" - click the MobileMe button and select "Visit ...", from your gallery it is also possible to invite people to view. If that also does not work, something probably is wrong with your Mobile Me settings in the System Preferences.
If the web interface works, but not the Aperture interface,check the Aperture Preferences -> Web.
It should show your account as enabled.

HT2736 How can I gift a single song (i.e. not the whole album) to a friend?

How can I gift a single song (i.e. not the whole album) to a friend?

If you're trying to do this from an iOS device, you can't. You'll need to use iTunes on a computer to be able to give a single song. If you are using a computer, tell us what OS and iTunes it's running and where you're encountering difficulty and we'll try to help further.

After installing iphoto11 tell a friend link gives problem on pc's

Hi there, after installing iPhoto11 I was confronted with 2 problems: first, when sending the tell a friend to my friends the one's with a pc received the email but without the link, friends with a mac no problem, second, in my gallery I've more alums than on my web page, how can I delete albums in my gallery? would be gratefull for help!!

#1 - does this happen with ALL of your PC recipients or just some? Although not a solution but a workaround try sending the Tell a Friend email from the online gallery with your browser. That has worked when the email from iPhoto didn't.
#2 - the additional albums could be carry overs from previous iPhoto versions that didn't get carried over into your library when converted to a new version.
Log into your online MMe account, https://www.me.com, and go to the Galleries section. There you can select a gallery and delete it.

Web Gallery, Tell a Friend, Mail

I was recently at a hotel, which required re-directed the web browser to a dedicated log-in site for the internet. While using Aperture, I attempted to "Tell a Friend" of a new Web Gallery. Instead of the usual link page for sending a Web Album notice ("You've been invited...", with the album link) to a friend as part of the Mail message, the send mail message when it opened in Mail was re-directed to this hotel login site. The Aperture application crashed and closed.
Now that I am home, whenever I try to send a "Tell a Friend" email from the Aperture application, the mail message shows the same hotel login in re-direction site, and then Aperture crashes.
Q: How do I get the default "Tell a Friend" link back when I try to send the email? There must be a default setting somewhere that needs to be re-set to the default link.

I did not see your original post, but would think it could have been resolved by purging the preferences file for A2. It would either be the com.apple.Aperture.plist at Home/Library/Preferences or possibly the Export preset file at Home/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Export Presets.plist. However I am not sure given that I have not experienced this issue.

IPhoto "Tell a Friend" button

For the last few days, my IPhoto "tell a friend" button does not work properly. When I click "tell a friend", an e-mail describing MobileMe pops up, instead of the e-mail which invites friends to view a album on the .Mac web gallery.
Any suggestions on how I might fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try again. This is what I was getting earlier today.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto & "Tell a Friend"

When I click on "Tell a Friend" function, Email opens and everything looks and seems to work fine, but my emails just sit in the Outbox and never actually send.
If I click on my "Mail" icon on my toolbar, I can send no problem, but it seems if I try to use it within an application like iPhoto, it won't send my emails...?
Don't know how to fix it and it's obviously annoying.
Can anyone help!?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are clicking on the Send button, right? Check the sent box and see if they may have gone out anyway. Or try saving the draft, closing Mail, open Mail from the dock and see if you can get it sent that way.
Do you Twango?

Tell a Friend emails sent using iPhoto--Subject Line

I published two separate albums to my gallery using iPhoto (each with different names and password protected with different user names and passwords and hidden on my gallery page.) I sent a tell a friend e-mail for each album to two different distribution lists (one to my side of the family, the other to my husband's side of the family.) I also sent each e-mail to both me and my son as part of each distribution list. My son and I each received the emails in Apple mail--on my iMac and his MacBook Pro. I used the SAME SUBJECT in the Subject line on both "tell a friend" emails for the two different albums, and all information in each email was correct when I sent the emails: Each had different album numbers in the link to the gallery page and the correct corresponding assigned username and password.
We received both emails which appeared fine when viewed. But once one album was accessed on the gallery page using one of the links, the text in the other email changed to the text in the other e-mail, including the username and password.
I tested this by resending the tell a friend emails using different subject lines and did not have the problem. Can anyone explain this?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It is very slow and I can not find the way to customize the standard mail template.
There is no way to customize that template. If it does not suit you needs send a regular email with the URL to the gallery in it.
As far a slowness is concerned need more info on your setup. How much free space on the boot drive? How much memory? How many pictures in the library?
from the other user the template is somehow corrupted
Delete the Delete iPhoto preference file , com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in the User/Library/Preferences folder for that user, 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.
Do the templates work if you try the Tell a Friend from the gallery online?

Tell a friend button produces hijacked link

Strange title and i am not sure this is the correct forum but can't find more suitable/obvious one.
When I click the 'Tell a friend' button to send a link to my photo albums, instead of the desired links and password details appearing in the message text there is an advert for a British Telecommunications Broadband facility known as BTFON!
Now I happen to have a BTFON account for use in UK and find it very convenient where standard wifi is not available or of poor quality so I know this to be a legitimate advert. However, I can't see why it should suddenly have started to appear in a link from iPhoto.
I have used the iPhoto facility to "tell a friend" in the past and not had this problem before. The last time i used the BTFON facility was in an airport hotel just before coming to the USA.
I do not have a problem when I open a new mail message directly in Mail. Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
(Oh yes I have tried to get an answer from British Telecoms - but I am not going to hold my breath for it!)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The old method of emailing was fully restored with the 9.1.1 update. Just choose Mail or your preferred client in the preferences.

Tell a Friend not putting preview pic in Mail

I have a MobileMe gallery on 24" iMac. When I click "Tell a Friend" Mail opens and provides a stock message and a link but not the preview picture with the black background and "View Album" link like I get on my MBP. The iMac is fully updated.
Is there a setting in iPhoto or Mail that needs to changed to get the preview pic?
Thanks,
Marcantonio

Tell a Friend button in iPhoto 11

Hi,
Some times when I tell a friend about some pictures I have posted in my mobile me gallery it does not display the e-mail in english. See below:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla placerat faucibus odio, non scelerisque urna interdum non. Ut magna urna, vestibulum a pellentesque .....
How can I get this to change to English?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's latin and is place card text which you are expected to replace with the message you want to send. Like the place card text in iPhoto cards and books.
