"Tell a Friend" email from MobileMe album - no images or formatting

When I use "tell a friend" from a MobileMe album, it usually calls up "mail" with fancy body text with images of the key album photo with links and a nice layout.
Now, when I use it, it just comes up with plain text as the email message. I don't know why or how I can change it back to the way it used to be.
I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the cmd+option launch and checking the last three boxes. Anything else I have missed out? I'm not using any email encryption software as well. Just Apple "mail".
Thanks,
Howie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your Mail preferences set for RTF formatting or just plain text? That might be the reason. Set it to RTF if it's not that already. Other than that try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.

  • Tell a Friend emails sent using iPhoto--Subject Line

    I published two separate albums to my gallery using iPhoto (each with different names and password protected with different user names and passwords and hidden on my gallery page.)  I sent a tell a friend e-mail for each album to two different distribution lists (one to my side of the family, the other to my husband's side of the family.)  I also sent each e-mail to both me and my son as part of each distribution list.  My son and I each received the emails in Apple mail--on my iMac and his MacBook Pro.  I used the SAME SUBJECT in the Subject line on both "tell a friend" emails for the two different albums, and all information in each email was correct when I sent the emails:  Each had different album numbers in the link to the gallery page and the correct corresponding assigned username and password.
    We received both emails which appeared fine when viewed.  But once one album was accessed on the gallery page using one of the links, the text in the other email changed to the text in the other e-mail, including the username and password. 
    I tested this by resending the tell a friend emails using different subject lines and did not have the problem.  Can anyone explain this?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    It is very slow and I can not find the way to customize the standard mail template.
    There is no way to customize that template. If it does not suit you needs send a regular email with the URL to the gallery in it.
    As far a slowness is concerned need more info on your setup. How much free space on the boot drive? How much memory? How many pictures in the library?
    from the other user the template is somehow corrupted
    Delete the Delete iPhoto preference file , com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in the User/Library/Preferences folder for that user, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Do the templates work if you try the Tell a Friend from the gallery online?

  • A3 "tell a friend" email incorrectly states the password is PASSWORD

    Hi All
    I recently did a playgroup shoot and created individual password protected galleries for each child. However when I click on "tell a friend" the email shows the correct username but states the password is PASSWORD. I can login to the galleries using the username and password set in A3 but would like to use the "tell a friend" email to send to the clients.
    I know this was working correctly a couple of days ago, but checking previous galleries - same problem.
    Anyone have any idea's ?
    Thanks in advance
    Colin

    Hi Tony
    Yes I created the mobileme galleries in A3, set a username and password for the galleries. Then when I select the "tell a friend" button it creates a mail message with a thumbnail of an image and user login details.
    The username in the email is correct but the password is PASSWORD instead of the actual password that I have assigned to the mobileme gallery.

  • IPhoto '09 MobileMe gallery "tell a friend" email not displaying password

    It used to be when I clicked on the iPhoto MobileMe Gallery "Tell a Friend" button an email would open and have the username and password.
    Now, it shows the username, but the password isn't displaying. Instead it reads PASSWORD.
    What happened to make it do this?
    How is a friend supposed to know the password if it doesn't display.

    Could be a damaged database file in the library. Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Launch iPhoto and try again.

  • "Tell a friend" email for web galleries- black on black for PC users

    Whenever I send out an email to friends with info for a web gallery, everyone who uses a PC (most everyone I know) gets the email and the text is black on a black background and they can't read it. I have to add text to the email with the username and password. When I cc myself on the email and get it on my Mac, it's white text on black background.
    What's going on here? It's been this way for 4 web galleries so far.

    Dave:
    Try using the Tell a Friend option in iPhoto's toolbar instead of the option of the online gallery. It will look like this except I've changed the font and color of the lower URL line which you can do with this method.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Cannot send email from MobileMe account

    Apple recently pushed out an update to the MobileMe calendar. Since upgrading my account, I am unable to send emails from Firefox4 (current version) in Windows. The page sits indefinitely at a loading screen. Apple Support won't help because it isn't an issue with Safari. Anyone else have this issue?

    When using the MobileMe account preset to create the account, the SMTP server is created with 587 as the SMTP server port, which can't be changed when using the MM account preset to create the account.

  • Failure sending email from MobileMe account on iPhone

    I cannot send emails from my mobileme account on my iPhone, the following error appears: connection to the outgoing mail server 'smtp.me.com' failed.
    I have my gmail account set up and this works fine, any ideas?
    Thanks

    One thing that might help out.
    Try a reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
    If the reset does not work, one more thing to try.
    Remove the account from the iphone by going to settings > mail, contacts calendars > your MobileMe account.
    Scroll to the bottom and tap the delete account button.
    Reset the iphone by using the 2 buttons again.
    Now set the MobileMe account back up on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Send email from MobileMe alias, not default MM email address?

    On my iPhone I have MobileMe email. It uses the default email address/username that I signed up for .Mac/MobileMe
    Is there any was to use one of my aliases to send emails from the iPhone rather than the default email address?
    In the desktop Mail app I just changed the email address in Preferences to the alias I wanted to use. But in Preferences on the iPhone the email address is greyed out, so I can't change it.

    I have asked MobileMe live support this exact question and the response was that it is not possible at the moment but it is on the table as a possible future update.

  • Emails from MobileMe account to cellular phone (not iPhone)

    This is probably simple to do but I can't figure it out.
    I have a Samsung Instinct and a iMac running on Leopard 10.5.7.
    I want my Samsung alert me when I get me.com emails
    in my Mobile me account.
    How do I do it? Is it something I set up in Mail? Mobile Me? on my Instinct phone?
    with my telephone company?
    Thanks

    AFAIK you can't do this directly: but assuming that your phone has an email service associated with it you could forward messages from MobileMe to your phone's account.
    To do this, log in at http://me.com and in the Mail pane click the 'Tools' button (the one with the small cogwheel and the down-arrow) and click 'Preferences'. In the toolbar of the pane which opens click 'Other' and then check 'Forward my email to another email account' and 'Keep a copy of forwarded messages with MobileMe' and enter the email address.
    Whether you will actually get alerts when the messages arrive depends on how the phone and the email account work.

  • Recieving and sending email from mobileme/iCloud is messed up

    Not all of my email downloads to my Mail app on my iMac from my iCloud account. I know because I see emails on my iPad, iPhone and through browser access. Some make it, some don't. Mail hasn't received any emails from today except one from Apple. They aren't in the Junk folder. Sometimes an unrelated email will insert itself into a thread, or the sender and subject have nothing to do with the content. When sending emails, some make it, some just disappear and are never sent. Mail worked great until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. It's a big bother to reply from my iCloud account on my browser. Help!

    To change the From name on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap iCloud under Accounts, tap your iCloud account at the top of the next screen, tap Mail at the bottom of the next screen, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on a Mac (if you have one), go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Events have become folders within "From MobileMe" album folder

    And they're gone from my events!  I'm not even sure how this happened (I don't remember requesting that iPhoto or MobileMe do anything), but this is probably the bug that was fixed in the latest iPhoto update.  Unfortunately it's too late for me!
    What should I do?
    I found the recommendation here (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4328) to cut and paste photos back in their original events, but frankly, this sounds like errors or mistakes just waiting to happen.  Besides, there are dozens of events that are gone and transferred to albums!!!
    Should I restore my iPhoto Library?  How can I tell when the damage was done?

    Same thing happened to me.  The latest update (9.3.1) didn't undo the damage. Not crazy about trying to rearrange all the photos back to their original events (if I can find them.....)

  • Tell a Friend emails are blank

    Windows Outlook users receive what looks like a blank email when sending them an invitation to view one of my MobileMe Gallery folders. The link is actually there but barely visible (white letters on light gray background). Mac users receiving the same invitation get the full picture and link. I have verified this with my work computer which is running Outlook 2007 on Windows XP.

    If you don't like the new ways that iPhoto handles emailing then you can access the old way with a small change in how you work:
    1. Drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Mail icon in the Dock.
    or
    2. Use the Photo browser in Mail - or any Media browser in the entire OS
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can then resize the image in the iPhoto Window

    Finally, you can make a simple OS Service to to automate the procedure. For more on this have a read of this:

  • Bug: 404 error for item link in 'Tell a Friend' email

    When using {tag_tellafriend} in email campaigns, the email that is sent from BC to the 'friend' is dysfunctional - the link rendered by {tag_itemurl} is redirected by a 302 Found to /_System/SystemPages/Error404, which simulates a Page Not Found error (it doesn't actually return 404).
    Those links are in the format: http://www.example.com/CampaignProcess.aspx?A=View&KID=203100&VID=45681759

    Cool. Shouldn't {tag_tellafriend} be removed or disabled? Three years seems a long enough sunset period for a feature that hasn't worked since then.

  • Change email from mobileme to my apple ID

    How do I change my ical address FROM my Mobileme email TO my other email, which is associated with my Apple ID? I have no se for my "me.com" email and everything is associated with my Apple ID....s this possible?

    Multiple people come here with the same problem, all it means that on your device that was backed up to icloud there was someone else's content. App or song or ringtone that belonged to that person's apple id account. Icloud reads those id tags that apple embedded in to content and authorizes downloads during restore from icloud backup.

  • How to change MobileMe album poster image?

    By default, Aperture (or MobileMe) will use the first image in the synchronized album as the poster image. Is there any way of choosing a different image to appear as the Album's poster image?
    ...Rene

    I know that you can do this when viewing your gallery online, but I don't know if there is a way to do it in Aperture.
    In your browser:
    navigate to www.me.com
    log in to your account
    click on the Gallery button (sunflower icon)
    click on the specific gallery you want to change
    click on (select) the photo that you want to use as the new poster image
    with the desired image selected, click on the actions (gear) icon in the toolbar
    choose Set Key Photo command from the menu
