Problems when attaching a photo from Iphoto 6 to my .mac mail

When I click on attach I don't get to the Iphoto library but either to a certain photo or just somewhere on the computer and I have to find a way to get to the library and to originals or modified.
It never used to be this way!
Also when I click attach I get to photos I have deleted and to duplicates with no names on them.
How do I delete these unwanted photos?

First, the easiest way to add a photo to an email is to click on the Mail button in iPhoto. That creates a new email in iMail with the photo(s) already attached. That's how iPhoto has been designed to work.
As far as the deleted,etc. files, are you emptying iPhoto's trash after moving the photos to it? Can you get the file path for those files you're taken to?
Yes I understand that and that is what I do when I want to start a NEW email BUT when I reply to a person's email and want to include a photo or a file I click on ATTACH, and then I get a pull down menu. On the left side it lists ONE particular photo and in the middle above it lists a few photos or Heidi's Mac or other places/files/ photos I have already used in the last few days.
I then play around with it till I get to IPhoto Library and originals or modified and THEN I get a list of photos Roll 1 Roll 2 etc. Some just have the name of a photo and if I click on THOSE I just get a url (cannot figure out how to move them to the originals or modified) and other ROLLS are photos that I want deleted as they are duplicates that have not been "fixed" in IPhoto.
Yes I do delete the trash all the time.
Am I making any sense and if so can you help? It is frustrating to have to go through so many unwanted photos!

  • Problems when syncing edited photos from iPhoto to iPad

    First, I edited some photos in an event in iPhoto on my mac, then I sync that event to my iPad. After syncing, the photos in my iPad library are unedited. What is the matter? Why those photos are unedited? Thanks!

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?

    When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?
    The only way I can get them to appear on the Facebook newsfeed is to 'share' the album within Facebook. Does anyone know why iPhoto only puts the photos on my profile wall and not for people to view in the newsfeed?

    I'm having the same problem and I end up having to just post it the old fashioned way. Has anyone figured this out as they appear on my wall but not in my newsfeed???

  • When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them.  Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

    You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

  • Why when I email photos from iPhoto do they not show in my sent items in my mail ?

    Why when I email photos from iPhoto using the share option does the email not show up in my sent items box in Mail. The emails are arriving ok but I do not have a record of the email being sent. Bit confused. I am new to my iMac .

    If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
    My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

  • When I email photos from iPhoto.....

    When I email photos from iPhoto (usuallly with some text as well) , the sent emails do not show up in the Sent file like they used to before updating to Lion.
    I can cc myself but I would much prefer to see each email as a regular sent email with the recipient readily visible.
    I send a lot photos to various people and find it annoying not to be able to see which photos I sent to whom unless I open each email addressed to me.
    Any suggestions?

    This is an iPhoto issue.
    In iPhoto menu
    iPhoto>Preferences>General-----> email photos using Mail.

    When I email photos from iphoto (9.2.2) the recepients are unable to open the files, and command I tells me they are locked-
    How and where do I unlock them?

    You can't unlock files on their machines.
    iPhoto sends HTML emails and not every email application (or user) knows how to work with these.
    Send Plain text emails via Mail instead. That's pretty foolproof.

    why it says The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.

    Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
    If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General  tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto".

  • How do you transfer photos from iPhoto on your Mac to your iPhone?

    Trying to figure out how to get photos from iphoto on my mac to my iphone

    Hook your phone up to your computer and sync it in iTunes. Before doing the sync, check the Photo tab for your device, and make sure you have selected what photos you want to download. You can do this by Event or Album or a combination of both. Check the appropriate boxes on the Photos tab for what you want to do, and then Sync.
    Also, when you first hook up your phone, iPhoto may open automatically to import any photos on your phone that are not yet imported to iPhoto. You can do that first, then go to iTunes to sync the device.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • Why do i get lines when i print photos from iphoto

    does anyone know why i get lines across my photos when i print them from iphoto to my HP printer. Photos are ok when i print from iphone or other? seems to have something to do with Iphoto??

    Go to your imports for the last 12 months then click on view>sort photos by date, that should group them together.  Click on the first picture in the group, then hold down your shift key then click on the last picture it should select all in between, then delete and empty trash.
