Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S?

Why can't I email photos from my iPhone 4S? It goes through the motions, select photo, recipient, file size but nothing is received.

Are you sending an email using a return address of, say @xxx.com" but using an outgoing server from a @yyy.com service? If so, this is known as relaying. Many servers now reject such emails, as this method is often used by spammers. Depending on your email provider, you may be able to get around that by going into the settings for that email account and finding a place where you can enter a valid @yyy.com address along with a password. (You'll have to hunt around the settings to find this, IF the account allows for that.)
Example: A non-icloud exchange account: Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the account in question (e.x. yyy.com), tap the Account name, fill in the Username and password in the section that also includes "Domain Optional" where optional is in gray.
Example: For icloud, Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars - In the Accounts section, tap the icloud account, Tap (in Advanced), "Mail" then indicate emails you want to use in "Allow Sending From".
Doing so lets you continue using a return address of @xxx.com, but the server also gets the valid address and password for its service and forwards the email as it should.

Why can't I email photos from a folder?

Hi,
Does a mac force me to email photos from iphoto? I just want to click on a photo in a folder -- any folder -- and email it. Am I missing something, because it seems you have to import everything into iphotos -- a real pain.
Also if I import into iphoto, does that mean there's a second copy of my photo somewhere -- one in the original folder and one in iphoto?
Thanks for any help -- just recently crossed over to macs from the evil dark side.

Hi betamac,
No, a mac doesn't force you to email photos from iPhoto. If you use iPhoto to import and organize your photos, it is easy to select a photo within iPhoto and hit the email icon to attach the photo.
Within your email program you can drag a photo in the message body to attach it or hit the "attach" button and navigate to the photo to attach it.
With iPhoto 5 all photos imported into iPhoto are copied in iPhoto's database, which is the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. So, yes, you know have two copies of each photo if the photos were imported from another folder already on your computer.
iPhoto 6 gives you the choice of copying into iPhoto or having iPhoto use your own folder hierarchy.
More info:
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.

Why can't I email photos from iPhoto?

I cannot email photos from iPhoto. I get an error message that says " the email server cannot send this because of an incorrect user name and password". I have version 9.4.3 of iPhoto and O/S - OSX 10.8.3

In the iPhoto preferences delete and re-enter the account
Or
IMHO the better solution is to use Mail. Set it as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Why can't I transfer photos from my iPhone 6 to my PC (Windows XP)?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 6 plus and I cannot transfer my photos in the usual way! I had an iPhone 4, then I got an iPhone 5s and I always managed to transfer my photos to my PC using the assistant scanner and camera wizard. I can't transfer my photos off the iPhone 6 - I still have the same computer, windows XP, the iPhone software is up to date....my computer recognises the iphone 6 but if I try to transfer the photos I get error messages like "unable to transfer the image" and "incorrect image"......help!

Hi dwadwine,
Is it possible that you have antivirus software that may be blocking this? Try disabling the antivirus software when you import the photos. Since your PC is recognizing the iPhone, do you have a different software program you can try? You may find some other solutions on the Windows forums.

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.

HT201302 Why can't iTunes synchronize photos from my iPhone camera roll to iPhotos on my Mac?

I was really surprised about iTunes. It has option 'iPhone -> Photos -> Sync with iPhoto'. iTunes is so cool and can sync data through WI-FI so I am happy I don't need to plug-in iPhone to Mac with cable.
But this option works only one way. So I can sync images from iPhoto to my iPhone, but can not do it other direction.
I know I can do it with cable and iPhoto but it's stupid: use iTunes to copy data from Mac to iPhone and iPhoto to copy photos from iPhone to Mac. Furthermore iTunes is integrated with iPhoto and iTunes can talk to my iPhone without cable and internet just using WI-FI network.
I know I can copy my photos using iCloud and My Photo Stream, but it's so complicated, it uses my traffic, it stores my personal data on external servers. I don't like it.
I would be very happy if you can implement this feature. So I can go home and be sure my photos is already on my Mac cause I am using the same WI-FI network and it was copied by iTunes automatically.
Kind Regards,

Why can't I delete photos from my iPhone 5.0.1 OS?

Just upgraded to this iOS version which was a pain in itself!!! Now there is no "Delete" option in my photo albums for photos. What gives? Anyone else having this problem? I am running latest iTunes and a Mac 10.6.8
Thnaks,
Amy

The only photos you can delete on the iPhone are in the Camera Roll. If the photos you want to delete are in albums you've synced, you need to unsync them through iTunes.

Why can't I email photos direct from iPhoto?

Why can't I email photos directly from iPhoto, or even attach them to email?

I get a dotted frame outline with an exclamation
This is the source of all the problems. iPhoto can't mail the files because it cannot find them.
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming it's 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

You can. select the image you want to edit externally then :-
In the top toolbar Go to :- Photo, Edit in Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor
If this isn't working got to :-

.....and check that Ps Elements is set there. You are able to set two external editors.
Good luck!
