Since mountain lion unable to email from iPhoto
Mail launches, the window populates with the photos from iPhoto but the send button is greyed out even though the recipient info is correct. Cant even close the window-have to force quit! Was not a problem with Lion, SL or any prior OS. What is the fix?
You have downloaded latest udpates to iPhoto, yes?

New problem -- started last night. Selected several photos to email, marked to format as medium, clicked continue and the blue bar in the new window only wnet half way then dissappeared -- no email created. Tried altering size and number of photos (down to one) same problem. Had been able to eail photos with no problem previously. Any ideas?
did you try to just send the pictures as an attatchment?
if you go under your iphotobooth pictures then click the ones you want on the email it should attatch & be able to be sent! -
Error message when trying to email from iPhoto
Just spoke to Apple support because I was unable to email from iPhoto unless I went through Mail (i.e. no templates). I had struggled with this for some months. The patient and helpful Apple people solved the problem after a couple of hours. Two-step verification in iCloud was the source. Since the email originates in the iPhoto app, it is necessary to use an app-specific password in iPhoto/ preferences/accounts/iCloud account.
That's why my wife's computer didn't have the problem. She doesn't have two-step verification enabled.
Thanks to Apple for the excellent support.Yes, LarryHN is right - two-step verification seems to be causing this problem in some cases.
Other forum members reported, that creating an app-specific password is required, see the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
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) -
Email from IPhoto 9.4 to Outlook 2011 V 14.2.4 [Mountain Lion]
On Mountain Lion [10.8.2], this do not work ...
Outlook client is correctly select in the preferences
When i want to send a picture, Outlook opens but no window opens with the new message with the picture ...
Any idea ?Thx.
Trying to find what to ask now
Think the correct question is :
Is there anything to do with Outlook 2011 V 14.2.4 (with Apple script) to make it work (Sending email from iPhoto to outlook) with iPhoto 9.4 in Mountain Lion .
The script made by Apple in iPhoto 9.4 is :
-- Microsoft Entourage.applescript
-- Scope
-- Copyright (c) 2003 Apple Computer. All rights reserved.
on mail_images(email_subject, default_address, image_count, new_files, new_captions, new_comments, cancel_string)
try
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
activate
set theAccount to default account
tell drafts of theAccount
set new_message to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:email_subject, content:"", account:theAccount}
end tell
set sig to content of new_message
tell new_message
if image_count is 0 then
set the content to new_captions
else
set the content to return & return
end if
repeat with image_idx from 1 to image_count
set this_caption to item image_idx of new_captions
set this_comment to item image_idx of new_comments
set comments to ""
if this_caption is not " " then
set comments to this_caption & return
end if
if this_comment is not " " then
set comments to comments & this_comment & return
end if
if comments is not "" then
set the content to content & comments & return
end if
set this_imagefile to item image_idx of new_files
-- convert the image path from UNIX to Mac
set this_imagefile_path to (POSIX file this_imagefile) as string
make new attachment at new_message with properties {filethis_imagefile_path)}
end repeat
set the content to content & sig
end tell
open new_message
end tell
on error error_message number error_number
log error_message & " " & error_number
if the error_number is not -128 then
tell application "Finder"
beep
display dialog error_message buttons {cancel_string} default button 1
end tell
end if
end try
end mail_images
property ASDScriptUniqueIdentifier : "Microsoft Outlook.applescript"
This do not work with Outlook 2011.
Outlook client is correctly select in the iPhoto preferences.
When i want to send a picture, Outlook opens but no window opens with the new message with the picture ...
Any idea ?

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?
What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

While intending to perform a clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files, is it a waste to restore a backup that was made while running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion?
Originally I was running Mountain Lion as an UPgrade from Lion. I created a backup in Time Machine, performed a clean install of Mountain Lion, then I proceeded to use Time Machine to restore the back up.
When thinking about the essence of a back up restore, it occurrs to me that for all I know, I may have just wated my time IF Time Machine also restores all the old unneeded files that remain from Lion after an upgrade.
Since the backup was made while running Mountain Lion as an upgrade from Lion, did restoring this backup defeat the purpose of a clean install by reinstalling old Lion files?
If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
-ChrisHello John!
Thank you for your response which solved my problem. For other users who may stumble upon this, I'll clear up the confusion and share how I solved the problem with your help; When looking for answers to my computer problems, finding unresolved questions where person B offers a solution and person A never comes back and says "That worked, thank you.", it demonstrates a "k-thnx-bye" user mentality that leaves others with the same problem lost. Without further ado:
It is not clear what you did because the meaning of "clean install" is vague. You can erase a volume and install an OS which leaves none of its previous content intact,
This is what I did: I erased the volume leaving no previous content intact, while then installing OS X Mountain Lion.
or you can upgrade an existing OS (or reinstall the same one) which does not alter your user - installed files.
An upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion is what I started with initially before erasing anything. This was undesirable. Since this can cause Macs to run slower (especially whereas I'm using a mid-2011 Mac Mini), my goal was to go from operating within an upgrade to Mountain Lion, to operating within an installation of Montain Lion that was not preceded by any other oprating system.
Hence a "clean install of Mountain Lion while continuing with old apps and files" is confusing.
Well put and understood. What I should have said was:
1.Erase the volume
2.Install Mountain Lion clean
3.Confirm that Mountain Lion is functioning properly
4.Proceed to use either Time Machine or Migration Assistant to Import/Migrate/Copy over only two things; My old apps (That had been stored originally in the designated Applications folder) and all files and folders originally stored in the home folder under users.
If you restore from a Time Machine backup then all modifications that occurred subsequent to that backup become erased. It renders moot any OS X upgrade performed subsequent to that backup.
That makes sense and is just as I later suspected.
If so, how can I re-do the last portion of the process so that I get all my home-folder files and apps back without the full bulk of old Lion files? Migration assistant I'm guessing?
Yes.
This is what I did and everything works perfectly. Thank you so much once again!

How do I configure OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to deliver mail from another domain to my mailbox?
How do I configure OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to deliver mail from another domain to my mailbox?
I run a personal Server at my office. It's configured under my own domain as server.mydomain.com. It's setup that it properly receives and sends e-mail for mydomain.com. I use my own mailbox [email protected] to get all my personal mail.
I'm looking to add another domain as a secondary way for people to get to my content and information.
I want the same address [email protected] and [email protected] to arrive in the same mailbox at my server.
How do i do that?it does look like you can add virtual domains in the GUI of Server.app on at least some versions, but I don't have an OS X Server 10.8 version handy to check.
I'd encourage spending some time to learn the command line. In general, the payoff for learning the command line will be worth the effort expended. You're running a mail server here and sooner or later the capabilities of the GUI will fail you. This whether due to a configuration omission in the GUI itself, or due to the need to troubleshoot a malfunctioning mail server, a need to automate one or more of the Postfix-related sequences, or some other IT-related task. Entirely FWIW, of course.
Here's a cut-and-paste of the sequence just used to test the command line access to the Postfix configuration, first fetching the current value, appending example.com as the second domain, then displaying the new value, then restarting the Postfix server. Don't enter the dollar signs; just the postconf command and following. Adjust example.com to match your domain...
$ postconf mydestination
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
$ sudo postconf -e 'mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, example.com'
Password: {your admin password here}
$ postconf mydestination
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, example.com
$ sudo postfix reload
The Postfix and Postconf commands work irrespective of the OS X Server version; the tools reference the data files as needed. -
Since mountain lion I have noticed 3-4 columns of data missing from a Numbers file. I have fortunately been able to replace the total file from my iPad version but why has this happened. Makes me lose trust in Numbers
That would be strange.

Before Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.4 Iphoto libraries would show up as a project. Can I still have this feature? I want to keep my iphoto libraries on another drive but now it appears the only way I can have Aperture search all libraries for a photo is to merge the aperture library with all the iphoto libraries. In the past the photos were referenced photos in their orginal libraries but now we are creating one big aperture library. Does this make sense? I liked the old way were the iphoto libraries showed up in the left window as a project. Does anyone know of a work around?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101. -

Since ios5, i cannot send email from my iPod when in my network, only when 3G
Since ios5, i cannot send email from my ipad when wi-fi but only when 3G
The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider? -
I'm trying to reinstall mountain lion 10.8.2 from a recovery disk and I get the following error when I goes to verify my computer with apple,
An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again. Can anyone help?Well, I'm trying to figure out how you're doing this from a recovery disk. The only way to reinstall Mountain Lion is through the Recovery HD in the computer. Hold Cmd/R as you are starting up the computer and keep holding it. Eventually you'll get a screen asking you to select the language. Hit continue to select english and you'll get a Mac OS X Utilities Menu with the second option down being reinstall OS X.
