Tell a Friend not putting preview pic in Mail

I have a MobileMe gallery on 24" iMac. When I click "Tell a Friend" Mail opens and provides a stock message and a link but not the preview picture with the black background and "View Album" link like I get on my MBP. The iMac is fully updated.
Is there a setting in iPhoto or Mail that needs to changed to get the preview pic?
Thanks,
Marcantonio

Close iPhoto and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Tell a Friend not working!

My home computer "Tell a Friend" does not work. It does work on my computer at work though.
First, I make a MoblieMe gallery that contains a video, then I click Info, then Tell A Friend. I put in the email addresses that I want and press send. I get a message saying that the email was sent. But, no one gets the email! I even put myself in the addresses, and I do not get an email either. When I do this same thing from my iMac work computer, it works fine! What could be wrong with my iMac at home? It has worked in the past, but is now not working.

I´m having the same problem, but i've noticed that the same library works on snowleopard (10.6.4) and doesn't work on 10.5.8.
My main computer is a Mac Pro 2007 running 10.5.8, and in this machine, "tell a friend" button does not work.
Any ideas?

"Tell a Friend" not working in Aperture 3

After publishing new galleries using MobileMe, the option to "Tell a Friend" does not work. It used to work fine in previous versions of Aperture, but now nothing happens. Using the email option to send a photo works fine.
Has anyone else come across this?

HT4623 During my update to the new operating system I am unable to get past Rescue EMail. I tried not putting in another e-mail as it says it is optional - that did nto work. I entered a Rescue E-Mail and it will not allow me to go to the next step. Help

During my update to the new operationg system I am unable to get past the Restore E-Mail. I first chose not to have an "optional" restore e-mail and was unable to get past this section. I then entered an alternate e-mail with the same results. I am unable to get past this section after I push the Next symbol. HELP!

I am having the same problem. I think I saw something about VPN and not being able to communicate with Apple web site. Do you have your protected company email on your phone?

'tell a friend' in ilife 09 partially not working

After uploading my movie to MobileMe, I clicked the link 'tell a friend' to send the link via Mail to a friend. Mail opens a new message with the related text, but no link, just the first word of the title. The text is in plain text, not at all like one would get with iphoto. There is no link at all.
<text in email>
Greetings!
I just published a new movie to my MobileMe Gallery that I'd like to share with you. Click the link below to check it out.
- first word of title in plain text -
<end of text in email>
Anybody got any ideas how to resolve this?
Best regards,
Joel

PDF images visible in Adobe but not Preview or Mac Mail's Quick Look

I have a PDF that I am inserting an ad into. I copy and paste the ad from one PDF into another. The problem I am having is when I have the final 10-page PDF with the ad inserted in it, you can open the 10-page PDF in adobe and the ad will be visible, but if you open it in Preview or using Mac Mail's Quick Look, the ad isn't there. When I open the original file with the ad in it (that I copied and pasted the ad from) in Quick Look or Preview, the ad appears. I need to know why the ad isn't showing up after it is copy and pasted into a new PDF?
files can be viewed below or at this address:
http://6letters.com/help/
"lanai3_Grand Jewels-001Winning.pdf" is the document I am copying the ad from
"lanai_122211.pdf" is the document I am pasting the ad into. The ad is on page 10. The ad is viewable in Adobe Acrobat but not in Preview or Mac Mail's Quick Look.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (version 9.4.6) to do the copy/paste/save.
I just clicked the above link and the ad doesn't show up online now either. It is supposed to be in the blank space on page 10.
Any help much appreciated!!!!!!

Hi,
Acrobat 9 and older versions paste images as a stamp/comment which (that poorly functional) Preview cannot see, so you need to "flatten" the page if you want to see a pasted picture in Preview.
(Preview, Mail and QuickLook shares the same rendering library)
You can easily flatten one or several pages in a PDF using this free tools: http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=717

I have got two photos by mail from iPhoto. My friend has put descriptions in the description field. The I got the mail I saw the description below each photo. If I check the photos with Preview they have Exif and JFIF fields but no IPTC field.

I have got two photos by mail from iPhoto. My friend has put descriptions in the description field. The I got the mail I saw the description below each photo. If I check the photos with Preview they have Exif and JFIF fields but no IPTC field.

Does you friend use any accented letters in the descriptions? That might cause it but I don't know for sure.
Has he run any repair operations on his library, i.e. repairing the database file? Another possible fixe that's easy to apply is the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
The demo version of GraphicConverter can be used to view/check/edit the ITPC fields in an image file after exporting.

Tell a friend MobileMe gallery not working in Aperture 3

I am trying to share my gallery photos - tell a friend is not working this week - it has worked fine for the past 3 years - what's up?

Steve,
is that the same for all your galleries, or only one particular gallery?
Do your galleries sync o.k. with Mobile Me? Do you see the sync sign below?
Try, if you can "Tell a friend" from the "Web Interface" - click the MobileMe button and select "Visit ...", from your gallery it is also possible to invite people to view. If that also does not work, something probably is wrong with your Mobile Me settings in the System Preferences.
If the web interface works, but not the Aperture interface,check the Aperture Preferences -> Web.
It should show your account as enabled.

Léonie

Web gallery "tell a friend" link not working properly

hi there,
I want to use the tell a friend link in iphoto to point people to a new photo gallery that I posted to my mobileme gallery. But when I select the appropriate web gallery and click on the tell a friend icon in iphoto, it creates an email that introduces mobileme, and doesn't have any of the information about my web gallery with links and a thumbnail, etc.
help!

HELP? "Tell a Friend" feature will not accept multiple addresses

Any help would be appreciated.
I have a list of email addresses that I would like to send a notice about subscribing to my podcast to. When I click on "Tell a friend" and add only 1 address - there is no problems, but when I add multiple addresses (even just 2) it will not work.
It tells me that I can add multiple addresses by seperating them with a comma, but it will not accept. It keeps saying +"One of the email addresses you entered is not valid. Please enter complete email addresses seperated by commas (for example: [email protected], [email protected])."+
I know these addresses are correct.
Anyone know how I can do this or why it won't work for me? I am so frustrated.
Thanks

You are so clever! What a great idea. I ended up finding out that you can enter only up to 5 names at a time - BUT YOU CAN NOT HAVE EVEN 1 SPACE BETWEEN NAMES or it will not work. Example: ([email protected],[email protected],[email protected],etc.)

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 won't accept characters

I type in the characters at the botom of the dropdown and they don't get accepted but instead show new characters that don't get accepted ad infinitum.
What can I be doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are using the Tell a Friend button that is available when you click on a MobileMe gallery, right? That opens the Mail application for sending the notification. Where is the garbled text being displayed? Can you describe the process step by step?

"Tell a Friend" Button (Bookmark or Social Network Button)

I'm trying to add a popular social network button called "Tell A Friend". When I add the html snippet to my website it doesn't work. The URL that gets passed to to the pop up box is completely wrong. I believe it references the iFrame, but I'm not sure.
I've been to several websites that claim the solution is to add a text box then the html to the text box (via find/replace) but this doesn't work.
Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
Any suggestions would be super appreciated.

If the code for the button is a JavaScript, then iFrames (HTML snippet) is not the place to put it.
To have the button on your page :
1. create a Text box that is 2 pixels bigger than the actual button,
2. position the text box where you want the button to appear,
3. in this text box type something like AAAA,
4. publish to MobileMe,
5. mount iDisk in the finder,
6. this depends on the button code :
6.1 if the code is specific to 1 page : do it by hand...
6.2 if the code is valid for several pages : use TextWrangler http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/
7. search the HTML file for AAAA
8. replace AAAA with the button code
9. save
10. eject iDisk

"Tell a Friend" Feature for Apps Changed?

When I "tell a friend" via email through the button the app store, it no longer works on their iphone.
It used to bring up that app's page in the app store, now it tries to open a safari page before giving an error message. This is either a bug or Apple has chosen to make it so that those emails are only to be opened on a computer and opened by itunes in order to market the attractiveness of apps to people who don't already own an iphone.
I'm really hoping it is a bug they plan on fixing and not a move that puts marketing for Apple ahead of functionality for Apple customers. I haven't been able to find anywhere any kind of announcement that they were changing the way it worked. Does anyone know anything about this?

Both the Mac App Store and the iTunes App Store have a Tell A Friend function. You will find it by clicking on the arrow to the right of the price of the app in question.
