Open photos in mail using iPhoto

If I Control-click on a photo in Mail, I'd like to be able to open it in iPhoto. There's a tremendous list of applications to choose from in the "Open With >" menu, including some highly dubious ones, like Safari, Make Button.exe, and Conditional Mode Change.exe. But not iPhoto. I find htat passing strange.
How can I add iPhoto to the list, or better yet add a menu item just for opening in iPhoto. Also, can I get rif of some of tht dead wood?

If you want to control the size of the photos select them in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder using the various size options available during export - then attach to your e-mail from the folder

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu. Do you know how to fix this?

mmchisholm - just so you know you're not alone, I too am having the exact same issue as of latest software update bundle. Have to manually add each photo until Apple issues solution or minor software update.

I have got two photos by mail from iPhoto. My friend has put descriptions in the description field. The I got the mail I saw the description below each photo. If I check the photos with Preview they have Exif and JFIF fields but no IPTC field.

Does you friend use any accented letters in the descriptions? That might cause it but I don't know for sure.
Has he run any repair operations on his library, i.e. repairing the database file? Another possible fixe that's easy to apply is the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
The demo version of GraphicConverter can be used to view/check/edit the ITPC fields in an image file after exporting.

Plugin to transfert photo from Mail to iPhoto?

Hi,
My mother is using 10.3 Mail and iPhoto 5 (ithink, not sure of the version!).
She received many times photos in Mail. She would like a simple way to move pintures from Mail attachement to iPhoto. 10.4 includes a feature like this.
I'd like to know if there is any Mail plugin or any (really easy) hint that can help her move her photos from Mail to iPhoto.
Thanks

Steve --
I'm not positive about panther, but what happens if your mother selects the "SAVE" button next to the Paper Clip "Attachments" notice at the bottom of the mail header? (Just above the actual message)
In Tiger, you get the option to download the files, or "Add to iPhoto." Have her check this, OK?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Impossible d'envoyer une photo par mail avec iphoto

Bonjour ; lorsque je veux envoyer une photo par mail avec iphoto, je clique sur envoyer : une petite fenêtre s'ouvre avec un triangle jaune contenant un point d'exclamation, je clique ensuite sur OK (il n'y a rien d'autre à faire) la fenêtre se ferme et la photo n'est pas envoyée. Et ceci, quelque soit le destinataire.
Quelq'un peut-il m'aider ? Merci d'avance !

Hello, when I want to send a photo by mail with iPhoto, I click send: a small window appears with a yellow triangle containing an exclamation point, I clicked on OK (there is nothing to) the window closes and the picture is not sent. And this, whatever the destination.
Quelq'un can help me? Thank you in advance!
In the iPhoto preferences do you have iPhoto or Mail set as your send mail with preference?
If you right click on one of these photos and "reveal in finder" does a finder window open with the photo?
Can you open and view the photo in iPhoto? Can you edit it?

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)

Cannot access my photos at WD using iPhoto after Mavericks!

Cannot access my photos at WD using iPhoto after Mavericks!

Did it.
iPhoto opens nicely but without the photos:-(
However I can reach the them by: WD > iPhoto Library and then right click Show Package Content > Originals
All the photos are there and reachable manually.
I am guessing that there should be a software patch/update by either Apple or WD to bridge the photo portfolio at the external disk and the iPhoto.
Thanks your efforts.

Can not send photos by email using iphoto

hello ...I can not send any photos using iphoto as i have changed my email address, I can not change it on the email ..as a box comes up saying ...Email server did'nt recognize user name/password. ??? where do I change my old Email to my new one it is getting very frustrating, please help Marie

Not sure what you tried but the starting point would be:
Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Click on the + sign to add an account. From the first screen you are presented with, providing the email address and password you enter is correct, Mail will try and auto configure your account. If it can't do it on its own you'll need to input extra information from your ISP - pop or imap server address, smtp server address, authentication info, etc.
Once the email account is up and running, to directly email from iPhoto go to iPhoto>Preferences>General tab and select Mail from the drop down menu against 'Email photos using...'.
To email a photo from within iPhoto '11, select a photo, click on the 'share' button, bottom right of the screen and select 'email'.

How to import photos from Mail to iPhoto and preserve the date created?

I have several photos sent to me via email attachments in Mail which I want to "add to iphoto." When I do this, the original date of the photo changes to "today's date."
When I drag the photo to the desk top, the file (photo) properties change and the date changes to "today's date."
Is there a way to import photos and preserve the original date the photo was taken? For example, if my family finally got around to sending me photos from 4th of July, I know the date is 7/4/2012, not today's date, 10/9/2012.
I want to avoid the time/work of doing batch changes on countless photos I want to add to iphoto.
iphoto 11
mail 5.3
Lion 10.7.5

Larry, I need more information...
Using what you said, I ran some tests using photos taken with my digital camera in iPhoto. My photos show the following information in the "information" sidebar:
•type of camera
•Flash on
•Format size
•File size (MB)
•File type (jpeg)
•Frame "number"
•Month/day/year/hour/min/sec/AM-PM
Then I tried to email a photo to myself: I have tried: "share," "attach," "drag/drop" a photo into email and sent it to myself as a test. Once the photo arrives in my Mail inbox, I have tried various ways to add this "test" photo into iPhoto:
"Add to iphoto"
"drag into iphoto"
"export into iphoto"
Each time, iphoto created the photo with "today's date." In the past, I would get an alert: Photo already exists in iphoto, do you still want to import? Duplicate or Cancel
Can you elaborate on, "if the photo properties are present and correctly formatted then iPhoto uses them."
When I drag a photo to the desktop and double-click to preview the photo, the top of the preview window says:
P1009.jpg -- locked (gray lettering of the word "locked")
Is there a setting I need to change to "unlock" the properties of my photos?*
Thanks!!
MG
*My original post focuses on importing photos sent from other people. I am hoping if I can solve the matter with my own photos, other photos will import with original dates created, too.

Cannot open any e-mails using Firefox. Has ATT service. No problems with other web sites.

I have used internet explorer and had no problems opening my e-mails. When I access my e-mail which is provided by AT&T using firefox, my entire e-mail is frozen. I am using att.net mail beta or Yahoo mail beta. What can I do to resolve the problem, I do not like using internet explorer. It was working when I switched from basic att mail to the new bata for the last few weeks then all of a sudden it would freeze when I access my e-mail.

Hi,
Thank you for your post.
I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thanks & Regards,

I am unable to "open link behind mail" using Mac Mail now. It used to work fine, and just clicking works but not right clicking to open behind mail. Please help

This used to work on my Mac using Firefox and Mac Mail but now it doesn't. Opening regular links are unaffected. I can still click and open easily. This only happens when I try to use the feature, to open links behind mail. When I right click nothing happens. Nothing is opened.

Hi GetPaulHoward,
Thank you for posting your question to the SUMO support forum, however I am not sure this pretains to Mozilla. There is a help forum you can contact at Apple.

Hope this helps.

Nonfunctioning command to move photos from Mail to iPhoto

Does anyone know why Apple does not fix the lack of function of the drop down command to move photos from Apple Mail to iPhoto? Fix the problem or remove the nonfunctioning command. Dragging as a fix is not solution. Seven months is enough time to fix this.

Hold down on the image and select Save Image. The photo will be saved to the Camera Roll in the Photos App.

Can't delete photos from iPhone using iPhoto.

I connect my iphone to mac, wait until the photos are syncronized, press delete photos and after a short process nothing happenes. If I connect my iphone later it's written that all photos are syncronized, I press delete photos and again nothing happanes. How to solve this problem?

Use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) to do this.
Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

Photos from Mail to iPhoto

when i click the button to save my photo in an email in Apple Mail straight to iPhoto, i cant see it in iPhoto. Am i being a bit thick? Where in iPhoto does it go?
i list all photos and look at the latest photo, as the photo is a very recent one, but its not there.
does it go somewhere else?

really need some help here. Everything i read says this operation should be as simple as it sounds but:
if my photos are going into iphoto, and these photos are dated today so should appear at the bottom of my photo list on 'all photos' in iphoto, i cant see them?!?!
my iphoto through a quirk when installing it is called 'iPhoto08' for some unknown reason and i cant change it. i havent needed to as it doesnt affect anything. could this be the problem? How do i change its name if so?
