Problems mailing photos in iPhoto

When I try to share/email iphotos a message appears ' any text on this template will be automatically deleted if you proceed to send'
Why would this be. I though the idea was that you could send photos and text?
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

I sent e-mail photos from iPhoto using my @me account but I do not find the history of sent e-mails in my new iCloud account. Where can I find the history of sent e-mails?

Using iPhoto as the email client in iPhoto does not creatge a sent copy. iPhoto indicates in the Info drawer if a photo was emailed by iPhoto (under the Sharing section):
There's no easy way to search for photos that have been emailed. Each photo has to be inspected via the Info tray.
One could add a keyword to emailed photos which would let a smart album keep track of those photos.
A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client (in iPhoto's General preference pane) and use it. That will give you an sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if you want a theme, numerous photo themes under the Stationary section of Mail.

Mailing photos from iphoto through mail

When I mail photos from iphoto through mail, it sends the picture at very low resolution regardless of the setting I choose (small, medium, large, actual). How can I send photos to others at viewing or even printing quality? Can I resize the pictures to my specifications as I used to be able to do on my PC? Through ACDSee I could resize to 50% which would be small enough to send quickly but still high enough quality for the recipients to view and even print. Thanks!

After iPhoto has created a new Mail message have a look at the bottom right hand corner of the Mail Message window - there's another control there for sizing the pics... try play with that one to find the size you require.
You can access your photos for sending in Mail too. In the New Mail Message Window there's an icon on the toolbar that will show you your iPhoto library.

E-mailing photos from iPhoto through Entourage

I have iPhoto 2 and I am using Panther. When I e-mail photos from iPhoto through Apple Mail, the photos appear directly in the e-mail HTML. When I send them through Entourage, they only appear as attachments. How can I send photos from iPhoto through Entourage with the photos appearing in the HTML body of the e-mail?
Thanks.

Since your question is about Entourage, you'll have better luck seeking the answer at the Mactopia forums, but I don't think Entourage works like Mail in this respect.

Problems importing photos from iphoto from mail

I am experiencing problem since last week, from Mail if I want to save a photo to iPhoto using the drop down option at save attachments, nothing happens. If I chose to simply save it, thats fine, and I can save a pic from Facebook to iPhoto no problem, but cannot seem to do this anymore from Mail. 10.8.2. All current updates. Any ideas?

sanjampet
Thanks but that's why I'm posting here because it does not post direct from Mail anymore. When you carry out the instructions from Mail
Click Save in the message header and choose “Add to iPhoto.”
It does not add to iPhoto. Whereas it used to before the upgrade...

E-mailing Photos from iPhoto not working since moving to iCloud.

Since switching to iCloud, my iPhoto will not e-mail photos. Says the e-mail server cannot recognize my username/password combination. I am lost on this as I am using iCloud for e-mail just fine.

Many Thanks to you stoli412 for dealing with iApps team~
Anyway, I found out something by myself.
I believe that email setup failure seems to be appeared on only those who transferred from MobileMe to iCloud.
Which means that the one who newly joined iCloud.com account doesn't have any problem with setting up the account in iPhoto.
I tested it with my wife's iCloud account, because she just happened to be newly joined in iCloud.com.
Simply, it works fine! but when I switch the sending account with mine then error message again(Shoot!!)
I really hope iApp team could come up with something soon.
Fingers Crossed, of course!
cheers.

TS1307 "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". This message pops up when trying to mail photos from iPhoto. How do I fix it?

"The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." This message pops up when trying to send photos from iPhoto via Mail. I have tried reseting passowrds in both gmail and me.com

Thanks for helping Christeneau. You helped me too...eventually. I say eventually because I was puzzled by your 'What does it say behind "email photo's using"'?
I realised the problem was your incorrect use of the apostrophe 's', as in 'photo's using'.
I just could not make any sense of this sentence at all, until I realised that you meant to write, "What does it say behind "email photos using". What you employed was the possesive use of the apostrophe - a mistake that seems to have become endemic in english speaking nations during the last 10 years or so, brought on by the lack of understanding basic english grammar. This has come about because of sloppy teaching methods the world over - it's not really your fault.
It's quite simple: The apostrophe 's' should be used as the following examples show:
James's apple, the car's horn, the world's atmosphere. The one exception is 'its shape,' where there is no apostrophe showing posession because that construction has been used as an abbreviation to 'it is', as in 'it's'.
Plurals (more then one) NEVER have an apostrophe! E.g. CDs, eggs, biscuits, vehicles, UNLESS to show possesion - a CD's label, the biscuit's taste, a vehicle's colour.
Thanks again for you help.

Can't e-mail photos using iPhoto. I get an error message saying...

I already receive mail via the iMail client for my iCloud (@me.com) account. When I tried to set up an e-mail account withing iPhoto, it prompted me for that same information. I used my @me.com e-mail address and password correctly (I think), but then it says, "the server didn't recognize the username/password." HELP!!

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)

Mail photo from iphoto

Could someone walk me through emailing a photo from iPhoto? I've looked at other discussions and following their 'replies' is not working for me. I'm using iPhoto 9.6, and don't know why my iCloud or gmail address and pw won't work. ty

I am sending emails from my regular email program without any problem. So for example, if I write a regular email to someone i can send a receive regularly.
It's within iPhoto where I'm trying to send out a photo that I have a problem. Ichoose mail as the email client under preferences as instructed. My account name and password are in there by default I assume, since I see my name in the username setting, and asterisks in the password setting and SSL checked. I assume that iPhoto is merely using the same username and password as my regular gmail account so there would be no reason for it to fail. I only see asterisks under the password name so can't verify what password is being used but it should be using the same as my regular email (gmail) account so I don't know why it doesn't work. Thank you.

Problems "pulling" photos from iPhoto into iMovie....

I am trying to create a movie with a combination of movie clips from my DV camera and photos from iPhoto (on my G5, 2ghz iMac). Movie clips are no problem. The problem occurs when I try and "pull" in more than 20 pics or so from iPhoto. I am trying to "pull" them in via "Media" and then "Photos". If I try and pull in a bunch, say more than 20, iMovie quits and I have to start all over again. Is this a bug and is there any workaround?

I actually think this is one area where iMovie6 does a lot better than iM5. My machine used to choke all the time when I would try to drag a whole bunch of photos into timeline. The reason is that whenever you bring in photos like that, they have to be rendered, so trying to render a whole lot of stuff is going to be time dependent based on your processor, memory etc. (and the settings you have for timelength, ken burns effect etc.) iM5 tried to render everything simultaneously and would always lock up on me. iM6 appears to render one at a time so it eventually finishes, but then I stopped trying to import large bunches of photos after my iM5 experience so I can't say where the limit is.
I've gotten so fond of playing with the ken burns effect and setting the start and stop points that I pretty much do all my images one at a time now because it can render the last one while I'm picking settings for my next one.

Problems exporting photos from iPhoto even after trying earlier suggestions

I've done this before with no problem.
I want to export 158 photos from iPhoto 11 on my iMac (OS 10.9.4) so I can put them on a 2GB SD card (MS-DOS FAT16) for a digital frame. With the SD card in the slot on the back of the iMac, I exported the files to that disk. I got an "Unable to create /Volumes/[filename]" error. Went ahead and deleted that pic from the album I'd created for export but got the error for a different file.
Checked through the iPhoto forum and found others had similar problems. Terence Devlin suggested exporting to a folder on the desktop and dragging to the card. When I try that, I get an "Item [filename] can't be copied because there isn't enough free space" error. (This despite the fact that the Finder info shows 14.7MB for all the files and it's a 2 GB card.) I click "OK" in the error window and am told the 158 items are being copied. However, when the process is complete, only two files appear on the card in the Finder and both of them show they're empty (i.e., Size: Zero bytes).
Tried reformatting the card. Tried plugging an external card reader into one of the USB ports on the iMac. Same problem.
Thoughts?

the general answer is to export the photos to a desktop folder and then drag that folder (not the photos in it) to the proper location on the unlocked SD card - FAT formatted volumes have a very low limitation on the number of lies on them at the root level hence the necessity to put the files in a folder and drag the single folder to the FAT volume

Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2.
for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync. I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up. I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue????? I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

problem solved using this thread...

Problem editing photos in iPhoto 6

Hi,
I am having a problem editing photos. When I click on a photo to edit I get the following error message:
Unreadable Files
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)
/Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library2006/Modified/2006/Roll2183/DSCN0164.jpg
I have rebuilt the photo library. I also backed up my iphoto library and reimported the photos. I have not messed with the photo library at all. I import my photos from the camera and generally work with them. I think this has been a problem since upgrading to 6.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to the Apple DIscussions:
This could be a file permissions issue:
Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
