Photo browser in Mail

The search function in the photo browser in mail does not come up with the same hits as the search in the main iPhoto app. should it? I am using the "all" category.
any ideas?

I don't believe so, but you can select in iPhoto to have it compose a message where Titles and Captions are provided. It is bad idea, however, when sending to recipients using Outlook or Outlook Express. Better to never have text between or following attachments.

Using photo browser in Mail

Friends,
When I access the photo browser in Mail to add a photo to an email, the image names that the browser displays are the file names for each image. I would like it to display the caption that I have applied to each image. Aperture is my photo program. Is there any way to change the name that photo browser displays? Alternatively, is it possible to change the file names for the images to match the captions?
Thanks!
Steve

I know a lot about Macs.
Do you? GIven that you "haven't touched a Mac in years" how do you know your information is up-to-date?
I know more about Macs than PC's.
Thanks for letting us know. I'm not sure what relevance that has. My 4 year old niece knows more about Macs than about Windows. But that tells us zip about her expertise in Macs, does it?
I know a lot about iPhones, iPads, and iPods as well.
Good for you. How recently have you touched one of those? If your knowledge is up-to-date then perhaps you might confine yourself to posting on those forums.
I remember much from Mac OS X.
And how much have you forgotten? And what about all the changes in the years since you last used a Mac?
I just haven't used iPhoto.
Didn't stop you offering potentially destructive advice, did it?
If you are going to offer advice the very least you could do is add a note explaining that your knowledge may be out of date as you haven't "touched a Mac in years".

Photo browser in Mail does not work anymore

Since upgrading from Leopard to Mt Lion, the photo browser in Mail does not work anymore and I also cannot drag and drop photos from iPhoto into Mail. Any idea how to solve ?

Have been working with LarryHN in an iPhoto thread. He posted this SOLUTION. Yes!!!
Try this - Download and reapply the latest iLife support update - iLife support 9.0.3 - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/ilifesupport903. html

Photo Browser in Mail does not show iPhoto after migration

I've posted in this in the iPhoto '08 thread but I'm thinking this is a Mail issue.
After using the Migration Assistant to move files from my MacBook to my iMac, when in Mail, the "Photo Browser" shows photos from Photo Booth but no longer from iPhoto.
Ideas? Many thanks!

The Photo Browser in Mail does not exist in my Macbook.

The Aperture Tutorial mentioned that I can click on the Photo Browser button in the toolbar in Mail. However, the Photo Browser Button in Mail does not exist in my Mail.app. I tried to customize toolbar but did not find such option. They only way is to open the Photo Browser from "Window" in the top menu bar. I mean, it works in the tutorial videos but not in my system. Any way to fix it?
(I am running Mac OS 10.6.2, and Aperture 3)

this button only exists in a message composition window, not in the main message list window. start a new message and this button will be there on the top right.

Photo browser in Mail not working

In new mail my photo browser will not add photos even though it appears on screen when requested. Some time ago I had to replace my original photo library with a new one and I think this has caused the problem as it used to work fine. I do not know what to do to get it working again and would really appreciate any help to do so. Should I consider re-installing Leopard?

Hi Buzz,
Hi John; Sorry that I didn't reply sooner. Been busy playing with a new toy! I got carried away here so this kind-a long!
Keep the chat coming - it made me laugh!
Well, O.K. Hmm, this will amuse you and may amaze you too! The ONLY reason I EVER had for buying a Computer was due to my mind's insatiable boredom created by my job! It's a long story but I LIVED out of my suitcase, in Hotel's/Motel's, a different Town/City every day, 6 days a week! And *I HATED IT!* I was so bored *OUT OF MY MIND*, I became an alcoholic! I didn't just get drunk every night, I STAYED drunk all day long every day! I was so good at being drunk I could FAKE being SOBER! EVERYBODY I talked to was convince that I had a speech impediment. I wanted to quit but the salary for this job was so INSANE I couldn't. The Job: K-Mart Field Auditor. The year: 1979-82! The Computer: A 1980 Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80!
The amazing part of this story: I STILL have the Computer, it STILL works and I STILL use it! It's the ONLY Computer that I've EVER own that's SO stable it HAS never CRASHED. Unfortunately I STILL have a addiction but isn't alcohol, it's Computers! I'm SO addicted my Boss wants to commit me to a psychiatric hospital but he won't! He can't replace me! I'm the ONLY Certified Windows Professional in this city with more of years experience than all of the other CWP have been alive! I was doing 'Stuff' with my TRS-80 25 years ago that most Computers *CAN'T EVEN* do today but that's another story! Do you know somebody else that STILL uses a 27 Year Old Computer?
If you have more than one email account when you click new mail there is a "From" box right under the address boxes which allows you to click on the account you want to use to send- in my case either @tiscali or @google.
Yup I'm in the Groove now and I'm following you but that ONLY changes the From:, not the E-Mail Account that will Send it! There's a different option to do this that I will explain ...
If I open new mail and click the google address all is well. Not so if I click tiscali.
Yup! It's the 'stuff' that makes you go NUTS when the logic ain't logical! But after doing some research about multiple Mail Accounts I found the logical logic that will help! Hmm, did that make any sense to you? I'm get so confused when I do immutable weird mutating stuff that turns my logical mind into mindless gibberish logic but it makes me happy!
Alternatively it could be that this difference only appeared after I carried out the start up operation you gave me last time. I do not know.
O.K. Me BAD! I told you to do that but I didn't tell you WHY. As you're using your Mac it creates different Caches to cut down on having to re-search the Hard Drive again. This makes 'Stuff' open quicker and when you open 'Stuff', the Mac will ALWAYS look at the caches first before looking at the Hard Drive. If the Mac finds this 'Stuff' in the cache it WILL NOT look for it any further and uses the Cached Information. If you change something on the Hard Drive that the Mac HAS NOT cached, like renaming iPhoto files without using iPhoto, it won't know about it and then weird stuff starts happening. 'Safe Boot' clears the caches and MAKES the Mac re-cache 'Stuff'.
I have tried to attach all sorts of photos to the tiscali new mail and none works - thought maybe there was some kind of size limit perhaps but lots of the older photos are really quite small.
Well, I think I know an answer for this should work! You know: what's good for the goose should be good for geese! O.K. down to business and I took my time to aim this 'Shot'! Hmm, where to start and do I explain this simply?
First open Mail then Preferences and goto the Account window. You know how to setup the Accounts because they work, sort of! At the bottom of the Account Information window, there's an option to use a 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)'. It's a drop down box that will let you change or edit this information. Change this to 'None' and underneath this option is a check box to 'Use only this server'. Un-check it if it's checked. Now you don't have a 'Default Mail Server' and can choose the server to use from a new e-mail. Now while you are still in this window, click the Advance button under the tool bar. At the bottom of this window there's a click box for the option 'Use IDLE command if the server supports it'. Un-check it if it's checked. This option only works with IMAP Servers and not with the POP Servers that you use. O.K. You still with me?
Now click the 'Composing' icon on the tool bar at the top. Then uncheck 'Automatically <Cc or Bcc> myself' if it's checked and you don't use it. IMO:This option SO asinine! But stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff'. Now, the next option to change is 'Send new mail from'. This maybe the 'Pain in your Derrière' that you're having but it should change when you select the 'From:' while creating new e-mail. You probably only have three choices here and I suggest anything BUT the 'Account of the last viewed mailbox'. O.K. Still with me?
Now I KNOW why my this Mail Stuff was a 'Pain in your Derrière'. Did I mention that stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff'. This is a quote I found in Mail's Help! *"To change the server you want to use to send the message, use the server pop-up menu in the New Message window."* Well, O.K. But I was going blind looking for this infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' in the the 'New Message Window'. Mail's Help said It's there but I don't SEE IT! Plus, I don't believe everything I read or half of the 'Stuff' I see! Swell, Just Swell! I feel like I'm watching PAINT dry! And I'm not in my 'Groove' yet plus I know the answer will 'DAWN ON ME' later while I'm doing other 'Stuff'! So I do, then it does and 'DAWN', my third eye, shows me the way! O.K. Are you still with me or are you busy, laughing at this rambling Weirdo? Can you tell that I read & write like a moron that's a Computer Genius?
Now were was I? O Yea... Open a new e-mail window and look for a square box on the left side of 'FROM:'. See it? Now click on it and a drop box will appear. The infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' option you want isn't even list here and I kept missing it! I did mention that stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff', didn't I? So click on 'Customize ...' and the ALL the Mail options are now shown with check boxes. Isn't that just dandy? Are you cursing at that stupid programer like a truck driver? I DID! I cursing now! I curse out that stupid programer every time a create a new e-mail! Man O Man! No wonder there's so many names to impugn a Stupid person ... Asinine, Dumb, Dense, Dull, Slow, Obtuse but their just unintelligent. But a person with Stupid Stupidity is TOTALLY Brain Dead! Well, I did it again and went off the subject, carried away with mindless gibberish. O.K. You still with me?
On the right side of the 'FROM:' box is that infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' option that you want to use. Click the check box next to, on the left so doesn't disappear! Now you can choose whichever E-Mail Server you want to send e-mail from. But before you click the OK button I have a suggestion. Uncheck the 'Cc:' box under 'TO:' then check the 'Bcc:' box. I explain ... The 'Cc:' means Carbon Copy and the e-mail address use here will receive a Copy the the e-mail. But everybody that gets this e-mail WILL know the e-mail address of everybody else that got this e-mail! Does that make any since? Plus Spammers can collect these e-mail address way to easy! It's a long story to explain how quickly this can be done. Now the 'Bcc:' means 'Blind Carbon Copy' and it works just like 'Cc:', but there's ONE very important difference! Everybody that gets this e-mail is BLIND to the e-mail address of everybody else that got this e-mail! Plus Spammers are BLIND about these e-mail address as well, TOTALY impossible to collect! PERIOD! And you probably know this by now, but you can use the the 'Reply-To Address Field' to have replies sent to an email address that is different from the email address you’re using to send the message. One last tip then I've got to go to bed! You can sent email without an email address in the 'TO:' box if you use 'Bcc:' with an email address! But this may not work because some Spammers don't use an email address in the 'TO:' box any more, so several 'E-Mail Servers' will block an email with blank 'TO:'
WOW! Did I get carried away! This post is HUGE!
I hope I covered everything and that Apple let's me post it!

Photo attach using attach or Photo Browser in Mail not seeing events Folder

Recent upgrade on MacBook to Leopard and I now mail does not see photos synced from iPhone into iPhoto. Is there a way to refresh the folders displayed in mail when using the attach button?
Also, when I use the Photo Browser Button in Mail, I can see the photos sync'd from the iphone but can't get any attached to an e-mail?
Suggestions?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Aperture doesn't appear in iWork's media browser or Mail's Photo Browser

I've just installed Aperture 2, and I realize that it doesn't appear in the following browsers:
- Media Browser in iWork'08
- Photo Browser in Mail
Also, in iTunes, I can select Aperture to sync photos from, but no album is displayed
Any idea what could be wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

After a long while on the phone with Apple Tech Support, we finally figured out the solution. After deleting ALL my previews (control-click on your main library icon and choose delete all previews) the Aperture library structure shows up everywhere it is supposed to. Of course, generating new previews will give access to the images again...
Hope this helps.

Mail - Photo Browser Empty

Hello All,
I'm new to mac and I just switched from windows. The photo browser Apple Mail doesn't display any photos, or audio or video. How do I fix this?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Do you have photos in iPhoto or Aperture? I think you need to have photos in one of them (or Photo Booth) in order for any to show up.

Lightroom 2 Catalog in Mail photo browser

Can I view pictures in my LR2 catalog from the photo browser in Mail?

I use Lightroom and I don't think you can see its library from the Photo Browser. I think the Mail Photo Browser is only locked to Apple products: the iPhoto library, and maybe Aperture's.
BUT, don't let that stop you. You can drag images out of Lightroom and drop them into a Mail message just as easily as using the Photo Browser, so just do that. Drag a picture out of the Lightroom grid mode and drop it into a Mail message. I think I might actually prefer this to the Photo Browser, because it isn't necessary to dig down through the Photo Browser to find it all over again when you can already see it in front of you in Lightroom. Just drag over what you can already see.
Just make sure you're dragging a mail-friendly file format. I say that because most people edit Raw files in Lightroom and chances are you want to put a JPEG in your mail message, not a raw file most people can't read. If you don't have JPEGs yet then use the Export command in Lightroom and use the option to automatically import those exports back into the Lightroom catalog. Then drag 'em over to Mail.

Using Photo Browser For Photo's Not I iPhoto??

Is Photo Browser in Mail connected to only Apple programs (iPhoto) or can I use it to browse a folder of my choosing?
Thanks

hunter,
I'm not sure what you are driving at in your last post. If you are thinking of a "browser" (like the Photo Browser) that looks at everything in the file system (like a Finder window or dialogue, and opposed to just scanning for images), then we already have that. This is, essentially, what we get by clicking the "Attach" button.
However, that's not the only way to attach documents/files to an email. We can simply drag anything we want to attach into the Mail composition window, directly from the Finder. Mail has long been completely "drag and drop" in this regard.
What we have now, new to Mail, is support for what has become "traditional" iLife media browsing. Consider that the iLife components all interoperate with each other's libraries, all being able to show just what the other one does. Mail is now "joining the club," and can see what is stored in the iLife libraries just as they appear in the pertinent iLife applications. In effect, it can now "think" like iPhoto.
What I am looking to see is the addition of support for the other iLife components in Mail. I have no doubt that this would appear as tabs to the current Photo Browser, just like in iMovie, allowing one to look at "Photos" (from iPhoto), "Music" (from iTunes), and "Movies" (from iMovie).
Best of all, the same functionality is being built into the Finder. Just a couple days before Leopard was released, I listened to a complaint by a friend about the fact that one cannot open an image in iPhoto in an application like Photoshop, not directly from the "Open..." dialogue in Photoshop. My response to him was that he could open iPhoto, set his preferences there to open double-clicked images in Photoshop, then manage things that way.
Only the next day, I found out that Leopard was incorporating the "Media Browser" functionality into the Finder. This is exactly what my friend was looking for! He'll have to upgrade to Leopard, of course

No photos appear in Photo Browser?

Just got a new iMac (it's sweet, btw) and have now jumped from 10.4 to 10.6. There's this new little thing in Mail called Photo Browser which seems to supposedly be connected to iPhoto to easily access pics. But my Photo Browser is completely empty, even though I have about 1,500 pictures in iPhoto. Is this just a small hiccup due to the fact that I transferred all my files and settings over from my other Mac (a MacBook)? Anyone else see this issue? I searched through the discussions but don't see this topic.
thanks.

Know of any way to "upgrade" the library, while retaining all the albums (regular albums, smart albums, web albums) and events?
no, but it should not be necessary either with iphoto08. it's sufficiently recent. in fact, I did almost the same thing as you. i had leopard and iphoto08. I bought macbox set of SL, upgraded to snow leopard and then installed ilife 09. I don't have any issues seeing my iphoto library in the photo browser in Mail. cold try doing it from another account? make a new account, copy your iphoto library there, set up Mail there and see if it works there.

Mail more than 10 photos via standard mail

Hi,
is it really true ? You can't mail more than 10 photos as a regular mail message anymore ?
Any help appreciated.
thanks,
guido

If you don't like the new ways that iPhoto handles emailing then you can access the old way with a small change in how you work:
1. Drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Mail icon in the Dock.
or
2. Use the Photo browser in Mail - or any Media browser in the entire OS
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can then resize the image in the iPhoto Window

Finally, you can make a simple OS Service to to automate the procedure. For more on this have a read of this:

Apple Mail, Photo Browser, Attachments and Yosemite

OK,
Help.
Anytime I want to insert a photo from my iPhoto Library into Apple Mail via Photo Browser in Yosemite Mail, it crashes.
My preferred method - Via add attachments - Finder/Pictures/Iphoto library doesn't work anymore. It now says Open iPhoto library.
Why does Apple change these things without like checking them out?
Anyone have an advice. I think Yosemite is pretty half baked. I'm a computer consultant and this is the worst release for customers since Leopard.

Photo Browser in Apple Mail Just Stopped Working

All of a sudden the Photo Browser in Apple Mail stopped working. Hitting the button or trying to check the box in the Window does nothing. No prior problems.

Photo Browser came back after 2 weeks. No idea why.
