Purchasing photos in iPhoto without a .mac account

Is it possible to purchase photos, books and cards through iphoto without having a .Mac account. I have friends with a new iMac, they have no use for a .Mac account. They just want to purchase photos, cards and books via iPhoto. They have actually created some cards and books but when they try to purchase it asks for their .Mac account.
Powermac G5, MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

You don't need one of those $99 .Mac accounts for purchasing, but you do have to set up a .Mac ID (free) so you can tie it to a credit card which will be used for purchasing prints and books.
If they buy from iTunes, or even the online Apple Store, they might already have an account set up for them.
The $99 .Mac account is a premium service that gives you email, webspace and some online tools as well as iWeb integration. If you already have that, then you can set up your purchasing using the same account as an ID, but you don't need to be a subscriber.

  • Can I send my photos by email without a .Mac account?

    Got my first digital camera, got them into iPhoto but can't send them by email as I get Error message: "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The server "mailhost.worldnet.att.net" refused to allow a connection on port 587," or sometimes, "The connection to the server, etc. . . . on port 587 timed out." I've gone to Mail Preferences and when I tried to "add" I only get the option to become a .Mac subscriber, which I don't want to do. This has happened previously with automatic replies to some businesses which only want to send replies by Mail. I use Safari consistently and don't see why I have to pay to send replies or now, my photos, to someone. Do I have other options or should I be asking AT&T these questions? Thanks for any easy-to-understand help.

    You do not need .Mac in order to send photos by e-mail. It sounds like you use ATT as you internet provider. Have you configured Apple Mail to be able to send e-mail yet? Can you send an e-mail text message OK?
    If you haven't yet gotten Mail configured to work with your ATT account a quick call to ATT should give you all the information you need. Setting up Mail is easy.
    Post back with further questions.

    If the images are in the location you want them be sure to select "Add" at the top of the import dialog box.

  • How to Photocast without a .Mac Account?

    I'm currently using a .mac free trial, which is how im currently photocasting, from iphoto to iweb to my .mac website.
    but i dont think im gonna stick with the .mac account so how can i do photocasting and overall "casting" without a .mac account?
    do i need my own personal url site? or what? if so, can myspace work?
    any tips would be appreciated. thanks.

    You just publish to a folder instead of to .Mac and then upload with an ftp program. Here are some tips:

  • Somehow lost ALL photos in iphoto without deleting them

    Somehow I lost ALL the photos in iphoto without deleting them. I was deleting word documents, as this computer belong to my sis-n-law. I restarted the computer and it went to the original factory state. My ical was back to factory. ALL my photos were gone!!! Not sure what I did. PLEASE HELP!!!
    Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. iMac, 7,1

    What I was hoping to do is upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I was removing old word documents that were my sister-n-laws, as this was her computer she used for work. So, there was a lot of stuff I didn't need and wanted to free up memory. I didn't delete any system files or anything like that. The next day I restarted the computer and it set everything back to the original factory state. ALL my photos were gone, my iCal was back to factory and my Safari bookmarks were gone. I did get back or found some documents I created. But Can't find or get back any of the Photos!

  • How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

    How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

    Depends on exactly what you want to transfer:
    The Original files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Original) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
    The Edited files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Jpeg or tiff, note the options for adding metadata to the export) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
    Both and all the Metadata: Link the two Macs together and use  iPhoto Library Manager

  • How can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

    how can i delete duplicates photos in iPhoto without doing it one by one? Thx

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • How can i transfer iPhone 3G photo to iPhoto without repeating the same photo to iPhoto?

    How can i transfer iPhone 3G photo to iPhoto without repeating the same photo to iPhoto?

    Sorry, you question doesn't make sense. If you're trying to import photos, in your camera roll, to iPhoto, iPhoto doesn't import them twice.

  • 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?

    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.

  • How do i delete photos from iPhoto without deleting them permanently from my macbook pro?

    I'm sorry but i'm new to all this. When i move photos from iphoto to the trash will that also delete that particular photo from my macbook pro storage entirely?

    To remove a photo from iPhoto and your Mac:
    Put it in the iPhoto Trash, then enpty it. Then empty the system trash as well
    If you want to remove a photo from iPhoto but keep it on your Mac:
    First Export the file from iPhoto (File -> Export) to whereever you want it and then go through the steps above.
    Confusion arises as the notion that you would want to remove a pic from iPhoto but keep it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like saying I want to remove one address from Address Book, but still keep it on my Mac. The point of iPhoto and such apps is that they are used to manage your photos. Anything that you need to do with the pics cn be done either with or via 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,

  • I have a new mac and my old mac had my photos on it how can I get my photos onto iPhoto without using a external drive or flash drive?

    My dad put a new mac in and the old Mac had my photos on it, and I checked iPhoto after it the new computer was plugged in and there was no photos in it, and my dad said that they should be in there but they aren't, so is there a way to get my photos onto the new Mac without the old one and without an external or flash drive? Because a lot of my photos I don't have on my camera because the memory card was full and the pictures that I had already had been on the old mac....
    Thanks!

    Have your dad post de what happened - you need to be at least 13 o se these forums and we need to be able to understand what you are asking
    the basic answer to moving photos is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.  but you say you do not have the old computer
    Unless  you have a backup or there is more information the answer is there s no way now
