Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

Trying to send photos to email from iPhoto and get the message 'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.' I am online and server working for internet.??

Remove the email account from iPhoto and add it again. Sometimes that gets email working again.
The account settings are in iPhoto's Accounts preference pane - in the "Accounts" tab.
Select your email account - press "-" to remove the account, then add it again by pressing "+". Enter your username and password and try again.
Good luck!

I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

Updated to yosemite, now in iPhoto when I try to send a photo I get the following error'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'. Help please.

Hi, I've recently upgraded to Yosemite. I tried to send a picture out from iPhoto as I regularly do without issue. Now I get this error message, 'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'. Can you help please?

Try rebuilding your iPhoto library. Directions are simple Rebuilding the iPhoto library. Please post back after doing the rebuild and then re-testing.

Trying to send photos and message in iphotos. Does not send saying your email did not go through because the serve did not reply, check your internet connection. I can send ordinary emails, server is connected. How do I send please. Margee

I am trying to send photos using iphotos. I just get a message saying your email did not go through because the serve did not reply, check your internet connection. Everything else is working, I can send normal emails and attach photos but not iphotos. What have I missed? Margee

Iphoto can't share via email; error message: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

I can never share via email, using iPhoto. The error: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. always pops up. I have no problems with my server or internet connection.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account there. Then add it back. If that fails you can select Mail as your email client in iPhoto as that's more reliable and flexible. It also offers stationary for photos that are not unlike those in iPhoto's client:
and using Mail as the client will allow you to have a Sent copy automatically.

Iphoto Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

I have recently upgraded to Yosemite. Since then I have been unable to send photos by mail from iPhoto and on attempting get the following error message 'Your email did not go through because the server did not reply'.

Have you enabled two-step verification? Then you need to create an app-specific password, 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)

Email did not go through because the server did not reply?

When I try to email photos directly from Iphoto, it keeps saying that the email did not go through because the server did not reply, however the server is fine. Can anyone assist. This is a new issue, I was able to send photos a week ago.

I have the same problem with iPhoto 9.2.3 running OX 10.7.4 This is a recent problem and the server is fine, I can send mail from my primary email client (Outlook). I can share photos to face book but I can't share a photo from iPhota via email now. The message pops up immediately after I click the send button.

My email of a photo did not go through because it says the server did not reply. There is nothe ing wrong with my internet connection. What am I doing wrong?

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

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!

I have upgraded to Yosemite and also updated the iPhoto application to version 9.6. I am no longer able to send a photo from iPhoto via email. I get an error message saying the server is not responding. But, when using the same server in Mail, I can attach the photo and send it. My wife is using the older version of iPhoto and it works fine.
I have checked the settings for the outgoing server, etc. and the Mail settings match those in iPhoto.
Could this be due to either the Yosemite upgrade or the iPhoto upgrade?

After upgrade iPhoto will not email using Gmail. Message " Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."

After upgrading on both computers at work and at home, iPhoto will no longer email using Gmail (or for that matter any email program I can find). I've tried the fixes of deleting all accounts in iPhoto and re-entering. Still doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Hi Scooter,
I'm reposting my response to a similar question here.
Try this, assuming you're using iPhoto 11 and Mountain Lion:
Within the iPhoto application, click on iPhoto in the menu bar
Click on Preferences
Within Preferences, click on Accounts
Your Gmail account should be present. Click on Gmail under Accounts.
Put in the proper information. Your full gmail address is your username (put this under Email address). Outgoing Mail Server is smtp.gmail.com Port is 465 Password is your password. Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) should be checked.
Upon making these changes, click on the red "close" button in the top left corner of the pop-up window. Choose to Save Changes.
Close iPhoto.
Reopen iPhoto. You should now be able to share photos.
I hope this helps. One suggestion for you, by the way. It's always best to include the application version and the operating system version you're using when asking for help. The above solution will not apply, at least exactly, to anything other than iPhoto 11 and Mountain Lion.
Cheers,
Jeff

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Hello - my safari on my ipad2 gives the following message "safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"...email works fine and I can download from the app store...seems to just be a safari issue

Marc-
The Safari message is probably telling the truth. Is the problem repeatable at several websites, or is it only with a particular one? If all websites, you may have trouble with your internet connection downloading large amounts of data. Mail messages are relatively small unless there are attachments or embedded images.

I changed my server at the end of May & all worked well until the past week end since when I am getting a message saying that I cannot get email because the server will not connect - although it does. It also claims that it was last backed up on Friday last despite having had several emails since Friday. What has happened & can I get email back to normal?

Hello Stern snapper
If you are having issues with receiving email on your iPad, then check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue. You may just need to remove the email account and add it back in.

IPad informs me that "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" I cannot access emails or interneton Ipad.

Ipad message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I cannot access emails or internet.

Thankyou for suggestion. My PC was working ok ( accessing emails/internet) which puzzled me. It's usually the PC that drives me nuts and the iPad that is great.I discovered my TV was having difficulty with a connection to broadband. I turned off the main Wifi router and switched it on again and all seems to be well. My IPad was suggesting, however, that all was well with the Wifi connection. It had a tick against it in Settings. Very strange!
