Why can't you easily attach photos from Mail?

I'm kind of scratching my head that there is no option in Mail to attach photos or videos. I know that I can exit from Mail, go to Photos, select Copy, select photos, exit Photos, go back to Mail and paste them, but that's about 7 steps too many for my liking. Why isn't there an attachment feature right in the Mail app?

Because we're talking about creating an email in the Mail app _on an iPhone_, not in the Mail app on a Mac. Scroll up to check the forum you're posting in...

The guides all say when using the iCloud photos are shared across all devices. Why can't I see my photos from my iPhone on my iPad when it settings on both devices the iCloud for photos is on?

When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, only new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream. Existing photos won't.

Why can't I delete synced photos from my iPhone?

Early iPhones did not have especially good cameras, so this was not an issue. However, starting with the iPhone 4s, it became clear that iPhones would begin to replace standard point-and-shoot cameras. Space would soon become a problem. You could be on a trip and begin to run out of space and find that any photos you had synced using iTunes (before your trip) could not be deleted. Even if you had an iPad with more storage, you could not delete those older synced photos. Apparently, you were supposed to have brought your Mac or PC on the trip, just so that you could use iTunes To delete synced photos.
I don't understand Apple's rationale for this limitation.
As of this writing, Apple does not provide a tablet that runs iTunes. So it would seem that the only solution is to buy a PC tablet such as Microsoft surface tablet. Only then would you have a full fully portable tablet that would allow you to run the iTunes program to delete old synced photos and make more room on your iPhone.
Of course you can use airdrop to transfer photos from the iPhone camera roll to an iPad and then delete them from your iPhone, but why would you want to get rid of the newer photos on your iPhone rather than the old ones that had been synced before your trip?
SInce Apple does not offer a tablet that runs OS X (and therefore is iTunes capable), this policy would seem to be in advertisement for Microsoft.
Am I missing something?

When the new iCloud Photo Library and its accompanying Photo app for Mac is available, this problem will go away. In the mean time, you have another option. Instead of syncing albums or photos from your photo library onto your device, why not create a shared Photo Stream with the older photos you want to have with you? Those can be deleted as you wish.
Or, as Ralph suggested, if you are planning a trip, remove the excess photos before you leave so you do not run out of room.

Why can't I move attach pics from photo browser

Why can't I move pics to email using my photo browser?

If all of the contacts don't get moved into the address field(s), it's possible that some of the contacts in a Group contain information but not email addresses for those individuals.
Don't really know what else to suggest except, possibly, that you delete, then re-create the problem Groups.

Why can't I delete old photos from my photo stream that were on my MBP (that I wiped and no longer own)?

There are photos still around on my photostream from my macbook pro. I sold (and wiped clean) the computer months ago. The option to delete the photos is greyed out. It's not a huge issue, but I have OCD about keeping my photostream cleaned up and there are a multitude of desktop wallpapers and other random things that I can't seem to get rid of. Any ideas? I unregistered my macbook pro when I sold it. Tried logging into icloud.com, iTunes, etc. and there was no photo options in sight.

Why can't I export iPhone photos from iPhoto?

iPhoto recently started crashing whenever I try to export photos that have been imported from my iPhone.
No problems exporting photos from other cameras, just the iPhone.
In fact, If I mix photos from several cameras in one Event and try to export them all, the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
Any clue why and/or how to fix this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI. I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.

the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
Is it just one particuar photo? Have your photos been edited on the iPhone with iOS 7 effects? HDR photos, panoramic photos?
and then I export the edited photos to the hard drive on my iMac so I can burn them to a CD.
Does iPhoto only crash, when you export the photos with "File > Export > Edited" or also, when you export them with "File > Export > Original"?
If you can export the originals, check, if the photos areo.k. and you can open them in Preview.
I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.
That is a risky combination. iPhoto 8.1.2 is not fully supported on Mavericks, and probably your current problem is due to the fact, that iPhoto 8.1.2 does not work well withMavericks. Is there a reason, that you do not want to update to iPhoto 9.5.1 for full compatibility?

Why won't you enable downloading photo from iPhone

I think it's annoying that every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac iPhoto pops up, and the worse thing is that I can't just download photos straight from the the phone to the computer.
So why do you make it so hard to drag photos from the phone to the iPhoto library?

think it's annoying that every time I connect my iPhone to my Mac iPhoto pops up,
iPhoto Preference -> General -> Connecting Camera opens... and select your preferred option
and the worse thing is that I can't just download photos straight from the the phone to the computer.
Have you tried Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)?
Who are the "you" you think you're talking to?

Why can't I drag a photo from iPhoto to a folder?

You guys - I used to be able to drag photos from iPhoto to pretty much wherever I wanted. I'm currently trying to drag them to a folder, but it doesn't work.
I tried to email them to myself, THEN drag them into said folder, still doesn't work.
I had to open each of them in Preview, then save them as new files to the folder.
WHAT!? That's insane. Am I missing something or have all of the updates changed things so drastically!?
All of my business is up to date. If this is what it's like updated, that is a bummer.

This seems to be a desktop issue rather than an iPhoto one, as you can't drag from Mail either.
So I'd start by repairing permissions.
Can you export to the desktop?

Why can't I delete some photos from my iPhone?

Photos from my computer somehow got copied onto my phone. First, are those photos taking up space? Secondly, how can I get rid of them? It won't let me delete those particular pics from my phone.

To answer your questions, yes, they are taking up space. They were synced from the computer via iTunes to the iPhone. Second, to delete them, you have to do what you did to get them on there in reverse. Connect the iPhone to iTunes, select the iPhone, go to the Photos tab in iTunes, then remove the checkmark to sync the photos and then sync again. That will delete them.

Why can't I delete some photos from my iphone 5c? There is no trash bin at the bottom of some of the photos so what option do I have to delete these photos?

How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?

It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad.

You could try using an app like PhotoSync to send them wirelessly to your computer.

Why can I no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook??

Since up-grading from iOS 5. To iOS 6.01, I can no longer "save photos" from e-mail/Facebook! Any one know what I need to do??

Go to Settings>Privacy>Facebook and see if saving photos has been allowed.
Go to Settings>Privacy>Photos and see if FaceBook is turned on - if necessary.
And go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos and check there as well.
