Why won't Mail save photos to iPhoto

The computer is an iBook G3, 900MHz running Tiger. It has Mail 2 and iPhoto 2.
I have been trying to set this machine up for a friend. If I email him a photo, Mail has the option to save the photo to the iPhoto library. However, it doesn't actually do it.
Is this because the Mail feature doesn't work with iPhoto 2? Is there an alternate method my friend could use to import photos from his email into the iPhoto library?
Would upgrading to a later version of iPhoto such as iPhoto 05 enable the email feature to work?
Thanks in advance!

I've solved it!
When you have saved the stationery, and opened a new email, make sure you have NO SIGNATURE.
If you have 'None' in the signature drop down list, then the template will display fine.
If you have a signature automatically added to emails, it interferes with the template being displayed and all you get is the signature.
So start with a blank email and no signature, before you select your custom-saved stationery.

Why won't Mail save stationery? with OS X Lion

Why won't all the photos from iPhoto sync onto my iPhone 5?

I am trying to put all the photos from iPhoto on my Mac onto my iPhone 5. Through iTunes, I select sync photos with iPhoto, then sync all photos, albums, events and faces. There are 285 photos in my iPhoto library and I would like to sync them all, but after the sync when I look at the photos on my phone, only 187 synced. What am I doing wrong?

I find the easiest way to transfer photos from iphoto or your computer in general onto your iPhone is to select the ones you want and click share then either iMessage or email them to yourself, its much faster and I don't know about you but i find iTunes to be a real pain when you sync photos because it always messes up your albums on your phone!

Why won't Mail save stationery?

I just did a clean install of 10.6, and Mail won't save custom stationery I try to create. It does create the Custom category and shows what I saved there, but the text I entered is missing - only my signature shows up. The message has several of Mail's bulleted lists, but that shouldn't cause a problem. There are no graphics at all in my stationery.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

Why won't Mail save my password(S)?

I enter my passwords in the Accounts pane of Mail's preferences, click"save," but they're never saved. As a result, I can't log into my Comcast mail. What to do?

In Mail's Preferences>Accounts, the password won't "stick" in the password field even after I click Save. I've double checked all the other settings in all other fields in Accounts, and all are correct. When I am in Mail and try to send a message (after setting the password in Accounts), a window comes up asking me to fill in my password again. I do, and check to keep it in the keychain, but the same window pops back up again, demanding the password. If I go back into Preferences>Accounts, the password field is blank AGAIN!! Just a little frustrating.
I've tried Keychain repair.
My mail.comcast.net password in Keychain are correct.
I've tried trashing Mail's and Keychain's .plist files and restarting before re-entering the password in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, but I am not sure I did those in the right order. I'm going to try that again and will post back.
I just got a new computer (MacBook Air) and this is the first time I've tried to use the Mail program, using Lion (10.7.1). I never had this problem when I used Snow Leopard and previous OSs.
Thanks for your help.

After I upgrated to os x 10.8.2. Using Iphoto It doesnt save photos to iphoto from attached mails

This is a bug, see this thread:
Re: Add to iPhoto not working from Mail app
For a work-around see wales34 post in the link above:
To save a photo in an email to iPhoto make a detour to Preview:
instead of clicking "Save" photo in the email, click "Quick Look"
Expand the photo to full screen
click the icon for "Add to iPhoto".

E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto '09

E-Mailing small photos from iPhoto ‘09
Hi:
We used to have a great way of e-mailing photos from iPhoto: specifically, we just clicked the Entourage e-mail icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window, chose the size of the photos we wished to send (ie, one was given options for how much one wished to reduce the size of the photos), and it was done.
Now that we’ve upgraded to Outlook 2011 we seem to have lost this functionality.
I tried to choose Outlook 2011 as our default e-mail program under iPhoto>Preferences>”Email photos using :” but the only 4 options are AOL,Eudora, Mail, and Entourage. Interestingly, the icon used here is Outlook 2011, not Entourage (yellow, not purple), but it still says “Microsoft Entourage” next to the yellow icon, and the mail icon at the bottom of the main iPhoto window is still the purple Entourage icon (and if one clicks it, it tries to open Entourage).
I then went into Apple’s Mail program under Preferences, and made sure that the “Default email reader” option was set to Microsoft Outlook 14.1.4 (which it was), but iPhoto still uses Entourage.
I searched the web and found a tip saying that one can drag photos from iPhoto over the Outlook icon in the dock to mail photos. I was thrilled to see that this worked, only to realize that it sends full size photos, without the downsizing option discussed above.
I thought about upgrading iPhoto to the ’11 version, but a plethora of the online reviews were less than laudatory about the stability of iPhoto '11, so decided to stay with ’09.
Thus, does anyone have suggestions for easily sending reduced size photos from iPhoto using Outlook 2011? I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos, but I would love to find a much more intuitive and quick method, similar to what we had with iPhoto and Entourage.
Thank you very much!!!
iPhoto ’09 8.1.2 (4124)
OS 10.6.8
Outlook: Mac 2011 v 14.1.4

I realize that I can transfer the photos from iPhoto to my desktop, open Adobe Photoshop, manually downsize each photo, close Photoshop, and then send the reduced size photos,
No you don't need to do that. Just use the Export dialogue in iPhoto to reduce the quality - it's exactly the same as the one used when sending to a mail app.
As for the comments about iPhoto 11 - search and you'll find pretty much the same ones about iphoto 09, 08, 6, 5 etc

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Try opening Mail from the Applications folder. Your Dock icon may be damaged.

Have you added your Facebook account in the "iPhoto Preferences > Accounts? If yes, try to add it again.

Because you have a problem and you need to fix it
with no information except it does not work no one can give any more help than that - remember that we are jsut users like yourself and know nothing except what you tell us - which in this case was nothing except it does not work
Some details like the OS version, version of iPhoto, what does happen and what does not ahppen, any recent changes, ect would at least give someone a chance to try to assist you

Why won't the new Photos app accept JPG files from my Kodak Easy Share like iPhoto did?

Why won't Photos accept JPG files from my camera like IPhoto did?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

Crop failure: why won't Mail recognise my iPhoto edits?

I cropped a photo in iPhoto (9.4.3), but although Mail (6.5) shows the cropped version in its Photo Browser, it keeps importing the original version. The same thing happens when I attempt to attach the photo here, so perhaps it isn't a Mail problem, but an iPhoto or Mountain Lion one.
Any ideas?

How do I e-mail a photo in iphoto 9.6

Hello. I am using Yosemite and finding it difficult to e-mail a photo like I used to be able to. Previously I would select a photo, then
click on the bottom right and the photo would show up in my Mac mail program. Now when I select the photo it comes up with the to/from/subject
right in the iPhoto program. I tried sending it by clicking on Share/Mail and it goes out but I have no idea where the sent copy is as it is not in
my Mac Mail sent file. Is there any way I can click on the photo and have it show up in Mac Mail so I could send it from there?
Thank you.

You are welcome - they are in the receiver's inbox - when you use iPhoto last th email client there is no sent mailbox - one of many reasons that I personally recommend that people use mail

I am trying to save photos from iphoto to an external hard drive

Help!
I bought a "WD Elements" external hard drive to save photos and make more room on my Macbook Pro. I can't move pics from iphoto to my "WD Elements" hard drive . I've recently gone on a few vacations and have a few thousand pictures to download. I'd like to save them onto my computer and then my external hard drive, but would first like to place old pics from iphoto onto the external hard drive and I am unable to figure out how to do this. I've tried selecting pics and then dragging them into the "Elements" external device, but this is not working (a white circle with a line through it pops up, as if I am unable to do this). When I select pics and click export, a message says that it's unable to export these pics to the hard drive device.
Please help! ~Thanks!

1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
