Unable to send pictures with mail from iPhoto

Since yesterday i cannot use iPhoto to send pictures with mail, it just does not open a new mesage in mail. can you help me please? have done cleaning tasks and repeired permissions already. thank you.

Does anything happen?
Have you deleted the iPhoto Preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help

Trouble when sending pictures by mail from iPhoto

Hello. Recently, while sending pictures with the mail function of iPhoto 9, some pictures have been transformed in tiff format (in this case the name of the picture is becoming PastedGraphic-1 (or2, 3 etc...).tiff.
The size of these .tiff files being at least 3Mo (or more), in general my messages never arrived to their destination.
This problem is not recurent: sometimes it happens, sometimes not, and you become aware of the problem when you receive an error messge of your internet provider regarding the size of the mail you sent and was not distributed because his size.
So this is a little bit boring....
Who got the same kind of problem? is there is a solution?

Thanks for your comment.
The original pictures are jpg. That's making this issue a little bit mysterious..
One more thing: last time I got the problem, I was sending 7 pictures from iPhoto: two of them were compressed in jpeg, the 5 other ones in this PastedGraphic.tiff
Total weight of the message: 21,9Mo instead of 1,8Mo. That's the difference!

When I send emails with photos from iPhoto recipients often tell me images are upside down. What would cause that?

Getting: Unable to send attachment with Mail Drop

Mail Drop is not working for me, I always get error message while trying to send.
Here is what happens:
-I compose a message that includes a large attachment
-I click send
-I get the message "Unable to send attachment with Mail Drop" for a few seconds
-My message is not sent and it goes into the Outbox folder.
Configuration:
OS X 10.10 Yosemite
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Advanced. The option "Send large attachments with Mail Drop" is selected.

I had the exact same problem. I finally figured out what was wrong. I believe you must have iCloud Drive turned on in System Preferences AND you also must allow mail to store document in iCloud Drive which you can check by clicking the "Options..." button in the preference pane of iCloud Drive. As you can see below.

Sending Pictures With Mail...Sending the Right Size Picture

I'm emailing pictures to an editor from iPhoto. They look fine when I send them. I send them using the actual size tab on mail. However when they get to her, she says they are only 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches even though they are 4X6 pictures when I send them. I don't get it. Anybody have any tips on what's up with this?

Philip,
The compression could have been applied by iPhoto, but the very high resolution value (680) was probably set by your source.
Compression is the whole reason to use JPEG, and its greatest fault. To compress, the photo application uses an algorithm to analyze the photo by detail. If a photo had a large wall pictured that was all the same color, then the algorithm performs coding to say that this large area is all the same color and does not use separate pixels for each portion of the area. How small a file can result from the compression is dependent upon the variation of color and detail in the photo. The next photo app to open applies the reverse algorithm to decompress. This is also done in cameras that save their photos in JPEG on the memory card.
JPEG can be used once with fairly good results, but if a photo is changed and then compressed again to save as JPEG then it can lose quality and sharpness.
Resolution is strictly the number of pixels per square inch and how much detail can be recognized and preserved in the photo (uncompressed). When you send a JPEG version of a quality TIFF or PSD format folder (or from a RAW photo taken with a good camera), and specify actual size, what that means is that the resulting file will be as large when decompressed and contain just as many pixels as the original, but depending upon the amount of compression selected can be a much smaller file to attach and email.
I am still researching how you might select to send such photos in the future, but what you were sent may be the controlling factor.
Before getting Aperture, I primarily used ordinary folders to store my photos, and opened them with Photoshop or Graphic Converter (the latter having an excellent interface with Mail. My use of iPhoto was limited (and still is) to those situations where its very good interface with other Apple applications is needed. Thus I do not know nearly as much about iPhoto as I do about Photoshop, Aperture, and other photo applications. But I do know that iPhoto will maintain the original quality, but the issue you presented is related to presenting for an email and for exporting.
More when I find it.

I can no longer send picture e-mails from my ipod. Why?

I use to be able to send pictures from the Photos app to my e-mail. Now when I try & send them, I never get them. I also tried sending them to the Facebook mail, but again- never get them. No error message pops up on my ipod. Any suggestions?

Oh my goodness! Thank you sooo much! This worked. I can now stop sending the business e-mails from my personal account - ha ha. Since you helped me with this, maybe you can help me with one more thing. I haven't been able to attach to e-mails in this account for quite awhile now, just been using a jump drive, since a previous automatic update. I didn't obsess over it due to the fact that I could still send e-mails. Any more help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
By the way, you also put it in terms I could understand. I'm not computer illiterate, just not as up to date as I should be. Step-by-steps help alot! :D

Possible to send pictures with Gmail & from Lightroom ?

I just read the trick to mail from Lightroom with a email client.
Is there any way to do the same with Gmail ( or any webmail ) ?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Gilles.

Elements 5 does a very very nice job. I send pictures to a cousin who has a system that makes it difficult to retrieve attachments or even go to a web page to view my pictures. Elements can send an HTML email with the image embedded and it works perfectly for her and is so so easy for me. I have it use an Adobe server although you can use your own. I may be keeping Elements for that feature alone, sigh... I can't figure out another way to do this. I use Yahoo mail myself because it allows me to pick up my mail no matter where I am plus see my calendar etc. I can't figure out how to create such an email with yahoo mail myself.

Unable to send mp3 with mail attachment. Zip the file doesn't work same

Tried to send an mp3 file several times and kept getting this message. The file was only 11 mg.
Unable to send with mail attachment.
Your message couldn't be sent because a server error occurred. To send this message,please delete the current attachment,then re-attach.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Toad replyed try zip file (compress) I did and still got the same message

Many mail servers cap their message sending or receiving at 4MB. If you are sending your own work that you want distributed by someone else, check with your internet provider if they can temporarily raise that restriction and the recipient's mail server can temporarily raise those restrictions. Better would be for both of you to be able to access a webhosting site to share the material and use some FTP programs to send the file to each other. If it is an MPEG-3 of a commercial CD's music, we can't help you as such distribution is illegal.

I keep getting " server did not reply " when sending picture in email from iPhoto ?

MAC/ Yosemite / Iphoto : I keep getting " server did not reply " when trying to send picture using the email function in iPhoto ?

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

What problem are you having?

Iphoto and Facebook aren't communicating. I'm unable to post pictures to FB from iPhoto. Any suggestions?

IPhoto and Facebook not communicating. Pics won't upload from iPhoto to Facebook.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Can't send email with photo from iPhoto

Hi I am trying to share a photo/email from iphoto and I get this error message
The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination
I am assuming this is because I changed my password on icloud but it is working on mail... how to I update it on iphoto? thanks Gail

If you're using iPhoto on your Mac go into the iPhoto/General preference pane and change the email client from iPhoto to Mail. Then you'll be able to email normally.
If you are referring to iPhoto on your Mac then post in the iLife/iPhoto community in the future.

N8 - Can't send picture via mail from Photo apps

After setting up the default mail client on n8 (I used google mail and hotmail, they work fine), I can see the option "Send via mail" when I long-pressed any picture on Photos application. But after a while (I'm still figuring out what is the trigger), the options is gone, and the only way to make them appear is to delete the mail accounts and re-setup the accounts again.
Has anyone experience this problem?

Have you tried doing it the other way round, ie create an email and add an attachment from the email ?
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
