With the Extended fix option 1 implemented, the program will refer to the name "Microsoft Outlook " however, it will not have an option for the Entourage program anymore. With these changes implemented and saved, relaunch iPhoto, and the program should now properly show the "Microsoft Outlook" name as the e-mail client it is using in the preferences.Įxtended fix option 2: Re-enable an "Entourage" option in iPhoto tif file to "Microsoft Outlook," followed by editing the /Contents/Resources/ist file (located up one directory from the scripts) and changing the "Microsoft Entourage" reference in there to "Microsoft Outlook," so the entry in this file looks like the following: Then rename the file and its corresponding. Then try e-mailing a photo again and the program should properly launch Outlook and create a message containing the photo.Įxtended fix option 1: Change the name in iPhoto from "Entourage" to "Outlook"Īt this point e-mailing photos with Outlook should work, even though in iPhoto the program is still referred to as "Entourage." To change this, you will have to edit the script again and change all references of "Microsoft Entourage" to "Microsoft Outlook" and save the file. When this s done, relaunch iPhoto and ensure Entourage is chosen in the e-mail preferences. Save the file and quit applescript editor. Next locate the lines that look like the following (they are about two-thirds down the script):Īdd the line "open new_message" between the two "end tell" lines so it looks like the following: Replace the words " draft window" with " outgoing message" Set the new_message to make new draft window with properties Open the "Microsoft Entourage.scpt" file (should open with Script Editor).
Now that the script is editable, we will modify it with the following steps to properly handle Microsoft Outlook 2011: Give your username both read and write permissions, and close the window.ĭo the same for the "Microsoft Entourage.scpt" file within this folder
Go to the /Resources/Scripts/ folder and get information on it (select it and press Command-I).Ĭlick the lock at the bottom of the information window, and then click the plus button to add your username to the list Unfortunately by default the program's permissions are set to not allow users to edit these files, so we must first alter the permissions of the script and its enclosing folder (this will not harm the program). This is the basic fix to get Outlook working, and it will involve modifying the current Entourage script to properly handle the Outlook application by adding one missing line and modifying another. Once these files are backed up, you can perform the basic fix to get Outlook working, and you can then optionally perform additional steps to get the "Microsoft Outlook" name to appear properly in iPhoto.

Contents/Resources/Scripts/Microsoft Entourage.scpt Then copy the following three items to the Desktop or another safe location from within the program's package: Right-click the iPhoto application and choose "Show package contents" to see the program's resource structure. The fixes will require editing of a couple of files within iPhoto, so first be sure to back them up. There are several approaches you can take, with some being quick ways to get Outlook working, and some extended steps to the same fix for cosmetic purposes, which allow iPhoto to properly display the "Microsoft Outlook" name in the program's settings.
When e-mailing to Outlook, you may see an error like this.īeing a matter of scripting, you can edit the scripts to allow Outlook to be used. Apple apparently quickly changed the Entourage script to point to Outlook, and while it will launch Outlook, it will not manage the program properly and therefore results in an error. Luckily the problem is not with iPhoto's coding, which would require Apple to recompile the program, but instead is with a crude implementation of the applescripts used to send photos to external e-mail clients. Unfortunately even though iPhoto is supposed to send e-mails through Outlook, a number of people are finding the feature broken. Apple has in the past supported the use of Entourage, but the new Outlook e-mail client has a few different protocols and features and needed specific support. When Apple released the iPhoto '11 version 9.1.1 update, one of the included features was to allow Microsoft Outlook users to send photos via e-mail through that program.
