Why can't I email photos with iPhone 4s?

I've had no problems sending photos to email on my iPad 2, but can't figure out why I can't from iPhone 4s. Suggestions?

I did all of those steps. I select the photo, press the arrow, select email, type in email address, select photo size and then nothing happens. I've tried selecting different sized photos and different email accounts and nothing happens. I compared the settings on my iPhone and my iPad and didn't see any difference. Not sure what to do next.

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 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. .

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I tried it, but it didn't help. Then I removed my photos from the Cloud and the email function returned to normal.

Cannot email photos with iPhone

Hi.
Every time I try to email a photo I taken with my iPhone, I get the following message: "Cannot Sent Mail. A Cop has been place in your Outbox. The recipient 'Patricia Farrell'" (that's me! I'm not the recipient; I'm the sender!) "was rejected by the server."
I found a suggestion in one of the forums here about changing the settings for the gmail server so the the outgoing server port is 465 (it was 587). I tried that. It still won't work. Same message.
I am able to download the photos on my camera to my desktop. But if the camera on the iPhone has a function that allows one to email the photos, how do I get it to work? You can send photos with all other phones with cameras. Isn't that the point?
Thanks, Pat

A couple of things to try.
if you have emails in your default email account (gmail), go into your outbox on the iphone and delete those emails.
Now, open settings>general>reset and reset network settings.
Only reset network settings if you know the passwords to any wifi networks you have set up on the iphone.
Once the iphone restarts, try sending a photo again.
Also, if you were connected to wifi when trying to send the photos, try turning wifi off.
To turn wifi off go to settings>wifi and tap on the slider to turn wifi off.
Then try sending a photo again.
Hope this helps.

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 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.

Why can't I email photos now?

Between yesterday and today suddenly I can no longer email a photo. It asks if I want to use a shortcut instead, but then no information about the shortcut. What's going on?

What 'shortcut'? Please provide more information.

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

Can't sync Aperture Photos with iPhone under iTunes 10

I've recently upgraded to iTunes 10 and when I go to the photos section under the iPhone sync options, I can select either sync all photos or sync selected projects under sync with iPhoto, but as soon as I select Aperture it greys out the selected projects option, and reports 0 photos in Aperture to sync at all. This also happened when iTunes9 was first released and magically fixed itself some months later. Does anyone know why my Aperture library no longer appears to iTunes10 and how can I get it to find it?
Cheers
Garry

I am having the same problem, I cannot select Projects if A3 is selected in iTunes. If All faces, albums and projects is selected the sync crashes almost immediately after starting the image routine.
1) Deleted the iPod data directory and files - no joy
2) Repaired, rebuilt database - no joy
3) Flipped sharing preference bit on, and off between program executions - no joy
4) Searched database for filenames with symbols in the file name. Found a couple - exported them from my project and deleted the masters - no joy
Then I noticed my facebook folders were syncing files DOWN from facebook and giving them very long filenames. Well, not long in the unix community - but upwards of 50 characters in length. Im wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if this could be the culprit.
In any case - until this is run to ground I am unable to use my iPad for the primary purpose for which it was purchased - as a mobile display of my portfolio.
Going to sleep now - been up for 24 hours. I think I will try deleting my facebook folders completely (from facebook) and then will see what happens.

Can Outlook 2013 Email sync with iPhone 4s via iCloud?

Hi.
I am hoping to sync my iPhone 4s with my email in Outlook 2013. I thought I had found a link online earlier today to do this via the iCloud but my system rebooted and I lost the link. Can this be done?
When I try to setup my email using iCloud on my laptop I get the following error "Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
I have not made any changes in Outlook for fear that I will mess it up.
Looking for any help I can get!
Jen

Email is not synced from phone to computer. both devices should be setup to send and recive from the same account. So setup your iCloud mail on your phone. then set it up on your computer in Outlook. if you are having issues with Outlook then ask on a Microsfot forum, as at this point the issue is not realted to your phone.

Why can't I email photos on ios8?

When I go to photos > select > select photos I want to send > click the square with the arrow in the bottom left corner
For some reason email is not an option. It always was, now it goes, message, iCloud photo sharing, facebook, and flick and more.
I have checked in more but no sign of the email icon.
I am using an iPhone 5S upgraded to iOs 8.1.2, the most recent upgrade.

How many pictures are you trying to send?
I just did a test on my phone and I selected a bunch of picture and then I went to the arrow with square and my only option is to use message.
There is a size limitation for sending files via emails.
You should be able to send one or two at a time instead of bulk - if that is what your doing.

Can you unsync email photos with the mac finder?

I have all my email accounts linked in the Mail application on both my macs, and instantly the mac syncs up every photo in my emails and puts them in the "all images" folder in the finder, I would rather not everyone see the photos in my email just by opening that folder, is there a way to unsync it from putting all the photos into my computer, i want them only in my email.

You can use the camera connection kit to copy photos to the iPad's Photos app, and it supports SDXC cards - this page says :
SDXC (supported only when not formatted as ExFAT)
As long as the card has a DCIM directory off its root with the photos and videos underneath it with filenames exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus extension then they should be recognised and be able to be copied to the Photos app. Photos and videos that are imported via the kit can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app
