Problem using mail to send iPhoto's

Folks,
Since I upgraded to Leopard I noticed an inconveniency in mail when sending iPhoto's. If I send iPhoto's to my dad (running 10.2.8 on an old Mac) he doesn't get the pictures in an appropriate format. The first half of the mail is the layout of the pictures, but with blank "pictures", then after scrolling there's the same layout but WITH the pictures. It used to work before, so I'm thinking that something has changed significantly the way mail sends embedded content.
Unfortunately due to the age of my dad's computer he can't upgrade.
Any suggestions?
Tx!

It probably makes sense to post this in the iPhoto forum too - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1192&start=0

Please Use Mail to send iphoto like the previous versions

I really don't like the way iphoto emails photos now..
is there a record of sent photos somewhere? I want
to be sure it actually sent.. if it was returned because
of bad address or some other error.. would I receive a
notification somewhere? that it failed?
thanks Dwight

I see I just didnt read enough.. once again...
If you also don't like the way iphoto mails things..
go to iphoto>preferences>general> and switch to "email photos using mail"

IPhoto crashes when using Mail to send photos

Hello All,
I hope that someone can help me with this issue. I am using MAIL to send photos via the iPhoto button. Everytime I try sending a photo using this method, the computer freezes up and I can't even forcequit, restart, open up AMON..nothing! Someone please explain to me why it is doing this and what possible solutions there are. I looked on the forums for a previously posted issue, and I wasn't able to find anything. Thanks in advance for the help.

Problems using Siri to send text message

hi im having problems using Siri to send text messages on my iPhone 5.
When i try to send a message using Siri to somebody who does not own a iPhone Siri defaults the message to a iMessage instead of a standard text message, which then causes a message failure because the other person does not have a iPhone.
I have the setting turn on in the Messages setting to send as Text Message when iMessage is not avaliable but Siri still defaults the message to a iMessage and does not send it as a standard text message and results in a message failure.
am i doing something wrong or am i missing something?

Siri won't try to send an iMessage to a person who doesn't have a device with iMessage enabled.
If you open Messages, and select the same person with the keypad it should default to Text and not iMessage. That's exactly what will happen when Siri tries to send the message.
I just tried this on my phone to someone who doesn't have an iPhone and it worked exactly that way.

Using Mail to send a photo - not iPhoto to send it

I want to send a photo by creating a message in Mail and attaching the photo. I can't find an easy way to do this. If I export a photo to the Desktop, when I go to the finder there is no evidence of the photo on the desktop, nor any other photos I exported from iPhoto. Yet when I do the Export from iPhoto, I can see all the exported photos on the desktop.
This is bizarre.
The only other way I can find to send a photo from Mail is to have iPhoto reveal the photo in the Finder and then I copy it to the desktop (don't want to mess with it in iPhoto's special secret place).
Is there a simple way to use Mail to mail photos to people once iPhoto has gobbled them up?

I just installed iPhoto 11, tried to launch its Help and was unsuccessful, like everyone else here. Heartened to read of the simple solution and will give it a try. The user discussions are my first resource whenever I have issues. Thanks!

Use Mail to send from a different account linked to Gmail

I use Gmail as my main personal email account and usually use with Mail via POP.
I also have Gmail set up to send from another account (my work address) which I can do by selecting a different "From".
This second email address is actually a MS Exchange Server mailbox, and I think the Gmail is just sending 'on behalf of' and getting replies sent to that address.
Is it possible to get the same results directly within Mail? (Not a huge problem if not, I can just log onto the Gmail website, but it would be nice to use Mail if possible).

http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-573678.html
I've had the same issue as you, and found this helpful.
Basically go into the Mail preferences and under accounts add the accounts (which Gmail gathers) that you want to send from to the "Email Adress" bar using a comma. For example:
Email Adress: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
Then a drop-down menu will appear when creating/responding to mail that allows you to select which account to send from.
It can't seem to automatically respond to emails using the address it was sent to unfortunately, which Gmail cleverly does. But it's a step closer.
Anyways, check out the link. It was helpful for me!

Problem with mailing pictures trough iphoto

Hey everybody.
When I try to mail pictures trough iPhoto, i get a failure message:
"... iphoto event PPsrPBIP... "
Can anyone help me please?

Nope. Manual sorting in events is not (and has not been) a feature of iPhoto. You do manual sorting in albums (recommended) or photos vies with event titles off

TS3276 I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. I cannot use mail to send e-mail now.

Mail Receives fine. Connection doctor says everything okay. Apple support is a dead end, as they want to set up a phone call, and I am in Italy on business!! No e-mail support?? someone please help

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Problem using itunes music in iphoto slide show

When creating a slide show with iPhoto, I cannot use my iTunes music anymore. I can see the list in the music window settings but there is no way to get access to it, either by directly double clicking on the title or by creating a dedicated playlist to the slide show.
Thisproblem seems to have happen after one of the updates of either OSX, iphoto or itunes as I have been using that feature previously and it did work well.
Anybody facing the same problem?
Thanks

Can you see your iTunes library in other aoolications, for example in Mail, when you try to send an audio attachment?
I the iTunes library is missing in all applications from the Media Browser, try to reorganize the iTunes Library in iTunes
Main menu bar: File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library
Quit iTunes and relaunch it.
Quit iPhoto and relaunch it.
See this post: Re: Adding music from iTunes to a slide show in iPhoto

New mail problem using mail 3.5

I am trying to set up mail 3.5 using OSX 10.5.6 and encountering a problem completing the new account set up. I have Microsoft Entourage for the Mac installed for this account and it works fine but I want to switch to Mail 3.5 for simplicity.
Using these same account setting in Mail 3.5 won't work. The setup wizard or guide fails trying to establish contact with the pop server but everything is identical on both mail programs. if SSL is checked, nothing happens when I click on the get mail icon. If I enable SSL (it is not enable in Entourage) I constantly get a message that the server rejected the password.
So again, with all settings identical to what works in Entourage, Mail 3.5 will not allow me to receive mail. Entourage is not running or minimized when attempting to run Mail 3.5
Can someone please assist as to why mail 3.5 will not work with the same settings as Entourage???
Thanks

Same Problem here
IWORKS 09 pages, keynote, numbers does not send in MAIL (mac) because of "This message was blocked because its content presents a potentialsecurity issue"
its a problem not only on GMAIL but also Live, Hotmail, Yahoo, and other services...
The problem is that gmail and others haved yet accepted the latest iworks 09 files. its a problem that apple can ask then to fix but its up to the gmail and others to fix it.
Solution!!!:
1 - Send it by exporting to office files
2 - Saving the files as old iwork documents
3 - Command P and save as PDF
4 - Save in icloud and send the URL
So you can still send them but have to take a bit more of your time
i hope you understand my english is not optimal
And if you have any questions feel free to ask me

Problem with mail, wont send messages

I have an aol mail account, and set it up with apple mail. I can recieve messages just fine, however when i send a message, i get the error "sender address was rejected by the server"

In case you're missing something, instructions for setting up an AOL account in Mail can be found here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
The instructions are for Mail 1.3, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well, noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x.
You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of:
Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
Also, Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. I can't send email or I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you. Something that usually works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25.

Anybody having problems in Mail when sending reply messages from a thread and the message is not showing in the Sent mailbox?

Hello Folks;
Got a weird one...
I am sending replies from a thread in Mail and they seem to have been sent (sounds) but they don't show in the Sent mailbox... O-0 These messages seem to have been delivered to cyberspace as they don't show in my Sent mailbox on my IMAP server... This has been happening for the last month... I have checked and verified all of my IMAP settings and Mailbox behavior settings... This is really weird and maybe a bug.... I checked all of my other clients that have access to the server on the same account and these messages do not show there either.... Any ideas?
--prd54usa

The messages are getting to the recipient...
I am on a Comcast IMAP server if this has anything to do with it and the server settings are following the correct server port numbers, SSL settings, etc... I save Sent messages on the IMAP server for 90 days.... None of these "disappearing" messages were on the server for more than a couple of days.. Typically, these messages will get 'hung' in the Outgoing Mailbox for @30 seconds before sending... like they are being scanned for viruses or Mail can't connect to the server all of a sudden...
I anybody else here is on a Comcast IMAP server, and having this problem of disappearing Sent messages... This would tell us that it might be a Mail Provider issue with their outgoing server...

Problem using photo's in iPhoto to upload to net

I just got this macbook. Brand new to Mac. I just put some pictures from my iphone into the iphoto library. So, theoretically they're on my mac and ready to be uploaded to the net. These are property pics and I'm putting them in a listing. I've never had an issue withthe pc. So, I go to my listing page and try to upload but for some reason when I go to my pictures file to upload, I can't get access to the iphoto library. I read a few posts in here and it appears I have to make a copy of the pictures before I can use them for anything...
can someone tell me why apple would make something so ridiculous?? why would I want to make a copy of something I just copied onto my computer so I can use it again. Why add a step to the process? I've found the same with PDF attachments in emails. I'll open the attachment and then I can't save it until I make a copy of it from the preview area...why the heck add the step?
So, I'm sure there are ways around this...at least I hope there are. Please let me know how I can simply connect my phone, or camera, to my computer, save the pics, and then upload them to where ever I want without the need to duplicate everything.
Thanks

Apple didn't make anything so ridiculous. You don't have to copy the photos to use them. With the pdfs and email, jusy drag them from the email to the desktop or where ever you want them. There is no "preview area", what you're been asked to do is save the file from the server to your machine. Same as Windows, a little different workflow that's all.
As a tip: before you decide that Apple are making things ridiculous, remember you've got a learning curve ahead of you. Just like when I sit at a Windows machine, it might help to bear in mind that if it seems overly complex or thick, then you've probably got something to learn. That works for me.
Anyway, t he first of these is what you want.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Problem using external editor in iPhoto

Using Adobe photoshop CS5 the returned image to Iphoto can not be edited with the Iphoto editor. When the image is exported only an elarged section is exported
Incorrect export
correct export after returned image from photoshop was duplicated in Iphoto

What image format is the file? I may be preaching to the choir but maybe some of this will be of interest to you?
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Give this a try: Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, edit with CS5 and and check to see if the same problem persists.
