When I email photos from iphoto(9.2.2) the recipients are unable to open the jpegs - why?

When I email photos from iphoto (9.2.2) the recepients are unable to open the files, and command I tells me they are locked-
How and where do I unlock them?

You can't unlock files on their machines.
iPhoto sends HTML emails and not every email application (or user) knows how to work with these.
Send Plain text emails via Mail instead. That's pretty foolproof.

  • Why when I email photos from iPhoto do they not show in my sent items in my mail ?

    Why when I email photos from iPhoto using the share option does the email not show up in my sent items box in Mail. The emails are arriving ok but I do not have a record of the email being sent. Bit confused. I am new to my iMac .

    If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
    My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

  • When I email photos from iPhoto.....

    When I email photos from iPhoto (usuallly with some text as well) , the sent emails do not show up in the Sent file like they used to before updating to Lion.
    I can cc myself but I would much prefer to see each email as a regular sent email with the recipient readily visible.
    I send a lot photos to various people and find it annoying not to be able to see which photos I sent to whom unless I open each email addressed to me.
    Any suggestions?

    This is an iPhoto issue.
    In iPhoto menu
    iPhoto>Preferences>General-----> email photos using Mail.

  • Why can't I email photos from iPhoto as described in the video?

    I have iPhoto 9.3.2 on my MacBook Pro.  I have watched to video on how to email photos several times.  After selecting the photos to email, the photos appear in the email message but not as described in the video.  Instead of showing up in a pattern that can be rearranged (or changed) as described, they show up in a column on the left side, can only be moved from the column into a row, can't have text typed under them, and can't be resized.  I haven't been able to find any solutions to the problems.  Does anyone have any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Jan LKL

    Thank you for your reply.  I do appreciate it.
    There is a 2 minute video in the iPhoto help menu that describes how to email photos.  I'm using my iCloud email address.
    I might also add that the first time I went through the process, at least some of what the video described would happen did take place.  It was after I attempted to select a different arrangement of the photos in the email message, which the video said was an option, that the process changed permanently, even after I deleted the account and started all over again.  That menu of patterns, which appeared in a right side bar, has never appeared again.  Every time I click and drag photos, they end up in a column on the left.  I can drag them into a horizontal row if I want.  I can put space between them only by using the space bar as if I were typing.  They can't be rearranged any other way or resized at all.  I've even tried opening a new email message directly from my email account, bypassing iPhoto's Share feature altogether, and dragging the photos onto the message but the result is the same.  I have watched this video a few times, referring back to it at each step to make sure I didn't miss anything.  I still can't figure out where the problem begins.

  • Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

    Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
    i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
    Any ideas ?

    This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
    Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
    I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
    And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

  • IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

    I cannot email photos from iPhoto.  I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

    Do you have two-step verification enabled  and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
    Then check this solution:
    If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
    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)

    Can you send email ok via the Apple Mail application?
    The username and password are set in the Accounts section of the Mail application. Start Mail, select preferences and select Accounts. Then make absolutely sure that the username, password and outgoing mail server are entered correctly.

  • Why do i get the alert window when i try to email photos from iphoto?

    Each time i try to email photos from iphoto i get a window with an exclamation mark over the iphoto logo.  I'm guessing that the email has not been sent but why?

    Go to the photo that you're trying to email and double click on it.  If the resulting window has the exclamation mark that means that iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original file. 
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

    Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
    Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

    Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

  • How can I email photos from iphoto '11?

    I am having trouble emailing photos from iphoto '11.  When I put the recipients address in, it disappears when I click "send" and I get some message about "key chain" and iphoto wants to use my confidential information????    What I ended up doing is dragging and dropping the photo into the email, but I don't want to have to do that all the time.  I just got this MacBook Pro and iphoto program so am experiencing a learning curve.  I must be doing something wrong.  Is it safe to "always allow" this "key chain" info?
    Thanks, you wonderful community.
    Sheila
    Update!   I just tried this again by "allowing" for this one photo.  I'm not sure what I'm allowing, but the photo was sent this time.  Please advise.
    Thanks,

    Sharing you are allowing the email to be sent.
    Your SMTP has a password and it is confidential, if you do not agree it does not have access to that password.

  • Entered incorrect password to email photos from iPhoto, How can I enter correct password? Using Version 10.10.3

    I entered an incorrect password when I was about to email photos from iPhoto. Message popped up saying Server does not recognize user name/password. Only option was to enter ok. How can I re enter correct password. Tried shutting computer down hoping it would prompt me to enter password again but the same message came up. I am using OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

  • Emailing Photos from iPhoto 7.1.5

    I just installed Snow Leopard. I always emailed photos from iPhoto without any problem. Now, when I click on MAIL, nothing happens.
    Can anyone help?

    If I understand you correctly the photos upload, but Facebook won't show them to you, right? Then a few hours later they show up as expected? Sounds like an issue with either facebook or your Browser. I don't see what iPhoto has to do with it, really.
    Have you tried emptying your browser cache?

  • When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them.  Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

    You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.
