Saving attachments from Entourage to iPhoto

I use entourage - and when I save image attachments they appear in my iphoto library folder on my harddrive but I can not get them to appear in my library once iphoto is open? I have tried moving them to different folders and even dragging and dropping into iphoto (i get an error message although it the drag has a green plus until i click to let go). Can anyone please explain what all these folders in my i photo library via the harddrive are for?

To be honest, this looks like something that was under development, then dropped at the last minute.
Inside the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder (right-click -> Show Package Contents) you will see a folder called 'Auto Import'. Make an Alias of that folder (File ->Make Alias) and drag the Alias to the Desktop. If you drop pics onto that Alias, the next time iPhoto is launched these pics will be imported into iPhoto.

Very spooky. Not always reproducible, but it happened to me while using Office365-Outlook web-based email (saving a PDF).

Saving Attachments from email??

How do you save attachments from an email?? I received a ringtone and would like to save it to my phone, can this be done?

You can't save a ringtone from email. Ringtones can only come from synchronisation with iTunes on your computer or from the iTunes app on your iPhone.

Dragging photo files from Entourage into iPhoto 09

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 09 running on Snow Leopard. I believe I was previously running 10.4.9? At any rate, I can no longer drag photo files from an email in Entourage and drop them into the iPhoto icon in the menu bar for import. Now it seems I need to save the files first and then drag and drop. Is there a way to avoid this extra step?

I realize iPhoto is not a file manager, I've gotten over that part. At this point I would just like it to recognize different folders as different events. I feel like that is a little feature that would go a long way, not only for migrating libraries like in this case, but also in the future.
I will often create separate folders within my camera's menus for different events, so that when I import the photos it makes it easier to distinguish the different events, even if they span multiple days. If only there was a checkbox next to "imported items from finder" called "treat folders as events when importing" that applied recursively to folders imported.
Update: I took a leap of faith and dragged a portion of my library into iPhoto (after unchecking that "Autosplit Imported items from Finder" checkbox) and it did exactly what I was hoping it would! Turns out it does apply recursively, which is really handy. I can just drag my entire "Pictures" folder with all of my photos nicely organized into events by folder into iPhoto, and it recognizes each folder as a separate event without having to drag each folder separately! hooray! I ended up doing so with the "Photos" icon selected in the sidebar, I don't know if that made a difference or not. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Attachments from mail to iPhoto won't copy

I'm using OSX 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 Ver 9.4.1. (701.67) and Mail Ver 6.2
Just recently when I tried to move Mail Attachments to iPhoto, nothing happens. I can drag and drop either individual photos or a group but when I try either add to iPhoto or save all, the iPhoto library is gray.
Is there an easy fix?
Thanks in advance

No. It's a known bug and hopefully they'll fix it soon. In the meantime just drag the pics to the iPhoto Window or Dock icon

Saving Images from Internet to iPhoto

New issue with Mountain Lion upgrade. When I "right-click" on an image on the internet, FaceBook, web site, etc. and select the "import into iPhoto library" option I receive an error that says "safari can't communicate with iPhoto" and I can't save the photo. It used to work just fine before the upgrade. Any ideas?

Tried it here and got the same error as you did. Tried turning off Safari extensions and it worked. Turned extensions back on to see if there was one that was causing the problem and it still worked!
Try turning off extensions on your Safari and see if you get the same behavior.

Can you erase all saved attachments from the past?

Hi all,
I have a funny feeling all the attachments (pictures, mp3s, docs, etc) I've ever sent are still lurking around my hard drive, somewhere in my mail folder. Is there a way to get rid of them?
Thanks!
Alec

Is there a way to undo this action? I've just erased three years' worth of attachments, including some that I needed. Did this while trying to get rid of a photo that is somehow appearing in every email I send. Any advice with that, too?

Saving attachments in Mail extremely slow!!!

I can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere! But since 10.5.2 saving attachments from mail is extremely slow. Try an email with many attachments - more than 10. The size doesn't seem to matter. It takes roughly 1 second per attachment. Pre 10.5.2 was almost instant. Problem remains in 10.5.3.
Doesn't matter if I hit the 'save' button or choose 'save attachments' from the File menu.
Other mail programs do not do this. (Entourage, Gayzmail)
I think it has something to with quarantine but can't find any info.
Steve

Works here in 10.6.8. Are you using Lion, by chance?

Problem saving attachments with longish filenames

We're having a problem saving attachments from Mail that are 25+ characters in length. ie. If we click on the "Save" attachment button in Mail, we get an alert that the file can't be saved because it's too long. We can drag the file to the desktop, but then can't move it without getting the "name is too long" alert. We have to change the name, deleting a bunch of characters. Using HFS+. Anyone have a solution?

When you drag the attachment to the desktop you should be able to click on the file's name then edit it so it's less then 25 characters. Try saving it again after deleting some characters.
We just switched from OS 9.4 to OS 10.4 (Intel) and found that Photoshop did not recognize any of the pics in our folders because we haven't been saving them with the file extension (i.e. jpeg, eps, etc.) We had to open all our pic files then add the extension. Apparently our old Macs could recognize a photo file but our new ones need the extension to be able to read the file. So if your file name is too long it's probably cutting off the extension - your computer won't let you save it until you make room for the file extension at the end.
Hope this helps.

Cannot save attachments from outlook to My Documents.

At the company i worked for, there is a problem with saving attachments from Outlook in to My Documents.
Info:
Outlook 2010
Exchange Server 2007 (CCR Cluster 1 HUB and 2 MBX)
Redirected My Documents
File Cluster (Windows Server 2003 Ent)
All the people using Outlook working at the company can’t save their outlook attachments to the My Documents
(which is relocated to the homedir folder on the file cluster )
anymore.
The strange part here is, that the attachments are saved to that location. Only a notification pop-ups in outlook
and says, that the attachment can’t be saved.
L
When i open the My Documents and tried to save something, there is no problem.
The problem occured spontaneously,
we can’t find
a solution to fix it.
On the file cluster the security rights on the profile
and homefolder are
correct, nothing changed.
Yesterday I updated both Exchange nodes and did a failover and rebooted the passive node.
The problem still exists, when people tried to save there attachment into My Documents it keeps popping op.
When the people save there attachment on the Desktop, than there is no warning.
Sorry for my bad English, hopefully someone can help me.
Kind Regards,
Arie

Hi,
This issue can be caused by Protected View settings in Office prevent saving E-mail Attachments. Please try the following steps to check this issue:
Open an Office product such as Excel.
Choose File > Options > Trust Center
Click “Trust Center Settings” Button
Choose Protected View in left side selection pane.
Check appropriate check boxes for Protected View settings.
Click OK > OK.
Close and Open Outlook.
If this issue persists, please let me know.
Best Regards.

Moving folders from Entourage to Apple Mail

I need to move several folders of 'saved messages' from Entourage to Apple Mail. I have done by using File>Import Mailboxes then clicked Microsoft Entourage. I get the boxes up and tick the ones I want to import.
They do drop into Mail, as do the headers of the mails inside each folder but when I click on one it's an empty email. I guess this is something to do with them not being mbox format.
Any ideas how I save all my Entourage emails in mbox format and then get them into Mail else I am going to be switching between both Applications every day?

Actually my subject is misleading: It should be "From Entourage on 1 mac to Entourage on another mac." In retrospect I should have posted this message in another thread. Sorry!
From Entourage drag the mailboxes into a folder on the desktop (it works).
Airport the folder over to the the other mac.
Launch Entourage & drag the .eml files (the extension for Entourage mailboxes) from the desktop folder into the Inbox in the Entourage application.
New mailboxes will automatically be created containing all of the emails in the Entourage window of the original computer.
This isn't strictly a Mail & Address book issue, perhaps it should have been in the OS 10.4 thread. In any case I hope this is useful to anyone who needs to xfer emails in such a manner. Resending each one would have been brutal as I'm talking several thousands. For tedious reasons too many to list I realized that I needed the mailboxes and their content transferred into Entourage on the other computer.
I love "drag and drop."

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.
