Bought a new MacBook Pro: had data, docs, pictures and such transferred to new machine. Now when using outlook and trying to attach a file, "pictures" does not bring up any of the pics I can see in my Iphoto file.

I bought a new MacBook Pro and had all my data, doc, picture files, etc, transferred from my old Macbook Air to the new Pro. I can see all the pictures when I open Iphoto. But when I use Outlook, create mail, go to "attach a file" and go to "Photos" in the bar on the left, no pictures come up. This is apparently some kind of a mapping issue- what to do?

thanks, Jim

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

When you click: "Attach a file", in the Finder select Pictures in the Sidebar on the left then select iPhoto Library.

Unfortunately, that selects the ENTIRE IPhoto library. Doesn't work.

I'm having the same problem and it's very annoying. I have been attaching photos to Outlook emails for years but I recently updated my MacBook and Outlook. I'm not sure which update changed things, but when I click the paper clip to attach a photo, and I click "Photos" on the left, under "Media" the top drop-down menu ONLY includes Photo Booth. I'm reading that Outlook 11 and iPhoto are not compatible. So, what are we supposed to do?

You should also contact Microsoft for Mac Supportand/or post in their forums. It's where the Mac users who use Microsoft products hang out.
