Rearrange Gallery albums in iPhoto?

So, I've been an  iPhoto user for years, and I've had more questions and hair pulls in one day of working with iPhoto'11 and my new Lion Mac than all those years.
This question: I've have many MobileMe/Gallery photo albums, and theytransfered to my new mac fine. I miss having the Web albums listed in the sidebar, but like the grid icon view fine.  HOW do rearrange the albums?  In the old version you moved them up and down the sidebar and the cahnged order in the grid. But I can't move the stack icons like you'd think it would work? 
Alos, it used to be easy to add single photos to a WEb Gallery Album after its creation, by draggin to the album icon. But if I click the photo I want to drag, the list of albums goes away?  Do I have to click the "add to" button now?
Thanks for any help!

Okay, I have a partial answer by digging deep into an archived post...I can reorder using the Browser interface for MobileMe.  That's fine and dandy, but I use iPhoto software for my photo management and don't want to create a disordered album in iPhoto and then have to go on the web to cahnge it. Anybody have a solution?  Seems like an odd new  software "feature"

  • Should I be able to see my MobileMe Gallery photos in iPhoto?

    I posted this problem a couple of months ago but received no answer - I'm hoping that someone else may have experienced the same problem or someone can explain what it is that I'm doing wrong -
    I upgraded from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '09 in June 2009. I have nine MobileMe Gallery albums. Eight of these albums were created and uploaded using iPhoto '08 and only one with iPhoto '09. I have just noticed a problem which, I believe, has only happened since my upgrade and it's a strange one.
    While scrolling through the Photos in my iPhoto 09 Library I noticed that for those photos that appeared in an album uploaded to MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 08 I have the photo and immediately next to (after) it a white dotted outline of a blank/black space with the Title of the previous photo under it. If I select this 'blank' photo and drag it to the Trash it removes the photo from my MobileMe Gallery album!
    This applies to every photo uploaded to all 8 MobileMe Gallery albums with iPhoto 08. The behaviour is not repeated in the images uploaded to the one album I have uploaded to the MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 09.
    Before I realised the significance of these 'blank' photos I selected them as I was scrolling through my Library in Photo view and moved them to the iPhoto Trash! Then I discovered that doing so removed them from both the album on my MobileMe Gallery and the MobileMe Gallery album that I see in the left hand column of iPhoto.
    WIll I have to live with these 'blanks' in my Photos view forever?
    I would be grateful if anyone can suggest how I might be able to fix this problem.
    Cheers

    PS I have now created another 5 MobileMe albums using iPhoto '09. All these display correctly in my iPhoto 'Photos' view as well as on my MobileMe Gallery so I can confirm that the 'blank' problem only relates to MobileMe albums I created and uploaded using iPhoto '08.
    Surely other people have experienced the same problem??

    Many thanks for your prompt reply. I don't have a backup drive with me at the moment but as soon as I get back to my Time Capsule I'll backup and do as you suggest. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.
    Cheers

  • 'Empty' photo frames for MobileMe Gallery albums

    I upgraded from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '09 last month. I have nine MobileMe Gallery albums. Eight of these albums were created and uploaded using iPhoto '08 and only one with iPhoto '09. I have just noticed a problem which, I believe, has only happened since my upgrade and it's a strange one.
    While scrolling through the Photos in my iPhoto 09 Library I noticed that for those photos that appeared in an album uploaded to MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 08 I have the photo and immediately next to (after) it a white dotted outline of a blank/black space with the Title of the previous photo under it. If I select this 'blank' photo and drag it to the Trash it removes the photo from my MobileMe Gallery album!
    This applies to every photo uploaded to all 8 MobileMe Gallery albums with iPhoto 08. The behaviour is not repeated in the images uploaded to the one album I have uploaded to the MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 09.
    Before I realised the significance of these 'blank' photos I selected them as I was scrolling through my Library in Photo view and moved them to the iPhoto Trash! Then I discovered that doing so removed them from both the album on my MobileMe Gallery and the MobileMe Gallery album that I see in the left hand column of iPhoto.
    Has anyone else encountered this behaviour - is it normal? Can I simply go to the Trash and drag these 'blank' images back, then sync and hope that they return to the MobileMe Gallery albums?
    WIll I have to live with these 'blanks' in my Photos view forever?
    Here are two screenshots to show what I'm talking about - the first one is how the deleted images appear in the Trash and the second is an example of how each image now appears in the iPhoto library Photo view.

  • How to auto update a web gallery from an iphoto album?

    how do you set-up an iphoto album to automatically update a web gallery album?
    so if i add a new photo to an existing album on my computer that has a corresponding web gallery album that web gallery will know to add that photo
    i'm trying to keep the web gallery album in sync with the same named album on my computer

    That is not a current feature of iPhoto - you will need to add the photo to both the album and the web gallery album
    To suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Removing a web gallery album, even after the iphoto album has been deleted.

    I have just created an Album of photos in iphoto, and then published the album to the web gallery. I was able to view the album via the web and my wife did too on a windows based laptop. I then went back to add 2 more photos to the album in iphoto, then again went back to see if they were uploaded too. One was and one wasnt, then the second one did after a couple of minutes. Now I have deleted the albums I created in iphoto, but I still have the link to go to the web gallery site and the album is still online with 24 photos. How can I remove the photos from my online gallery.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I'm still in honeymoon stage but of course loving my new imac. and .mac account.

    I think your best bet is to post your questions on the iPhoto discussions. More people will see them there.
    I have been using the web albums for some time. I have merely started iPhoto, then select the web gallery album you wish to delete. Click on the "Web Gallery" icon located at the bottom right hand side of the window. When it opens click on "advanced". You will see the option to hide the gallery on the web.
    Now you should be able to go back to the album in iPhoto and delete it.

  • How can I keep my albums in iPhoto arranged in the order of my preference - alphabetically? Once arranged, iPhoto periodically rearranges them.

    How can I keep Albums in iPhoto in the order in which I arrange them? iPhoto periodically rearranges them in seemingly random order.

    Have iPhoto '11. Several times I have arrangged the Albums in alphabetical order. Perhaps "periodically rearrange" isn't the correct terminology, but if not the next time I open iPhoto then the 2nd or 3rd or 4th or..., the albums are in a different order, non-alphabetical. This was not a problem in the last iPhoto version.
    Don't understand your question of "what goes on..."

  • How do I split my albums in iPhoto, so not albums to bee seen, only 1?

    How do I split, or seperate, my albums in iPhoto, so not all albums can be seen at once?? This, if I send the link to someone, about +one specific album+.
    Some albums are for other eyes only.......
    Now, it seems, that everybody can see ALL the albums, after they have received the link for just 1 album.....
    Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you're referring to MobileMe albums created from iPhoto bring up the Info window while viewing the gallery and click on the Change Settings button.
    Next check the Hide album on my gallery page checkbox and set the Album Viewable by: to Everyone. Now you can send the URL for the gallery to visitors and when they go to the gallery they will not see the other albums.
    Click to view full size
    This will give you a galley like this one: Space Station Photos. It's isolated from the other albums in my gallery.

  • Organizing Albums in iPhoto on the iPad/iPhone

    I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5, and prefer to have my photos arranged by Albums, Not "events"  But in iPhoto on these, when I look at the album view it arranges the albums alphabetically, whereas I want to  have them arranged by topic - the topic organization I choose.
    I edit and create the albums in iPhoto on my Mac, and have them organized the way I want there.  Why doesn't it keep that arrangement of the albums?  I can't find out any way to rearrange them the way I want them.
    Why can't we organize things the way we want?
    By the way, it is much easier to edit and organize o nthe mac, with its bigger screen and extra screens. 
    Also, is there a way to have Photos, or iPhoto (on the iPad & iPhone) access the keywords and titles I have given them in iPhoto on the Mac?
    Thanks

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IWeb not showing .Mac web gallery albums in Web Widgets pull down menu

    I'm trying to update a webpage and insert a .Mac Web gallery album using the Web Widgets pull down menu. The problem is the menu isn't offering/showing ALL of my .Mac Web Gallery albums. It shows some and I can insert those, however, it isn't showing all of them. I've tried refreshing the list in iPhoto, but it still won't show in iWeb '08. I've even given it several days to refresh, but to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    Nice, didn't think of that. I went into iPhoto and, in the Settings, changed it from being only viewable to restricted groups. I opened it up to "Everyone" and, back in iWeb, there it appeared in the Web Widget pull down menu. I then inserted the album and published the web page. I then went back to iPhoto re-instated the restrictions in the Advanced settings.
    Thanks.

  • How to get .mac web gallery albums on iphone?

    hi just wondered if and how to view web gallery albums on an iphone without using safari to log into.mac. thought there may be a way of an automatic sync between the iphone and .mac web gallery?
    i know you can send photos to the web gallery but dont know how to do it the other way around if that makes any sense?
    thanks rob

    One thing to check out.
    If the person who created the .mac web gallery allowed for downloads, then you could download the photos to iphoto then sync to the iphone.
    Otherwise you would need to open the .mac gallery in safari.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot delete .mac web gallery albums

    Strange thing has recently happened to me. I deleted two albums both from the album pane and under the web gallery pane in Iphoto but the albums have not been deleted from my .mac web gallery. Is there any way to sync iphoto and the web gallery so that the albums are deleted? In the past this has always happened automatically for me.

    Mount your iDisk, go to the Web/Sites folder and delete the contents of the _gallery folder. That should do it.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • MobileMe Gallery Albums

    Hello,
    I used a separate computer to sign into MobileMe from a browser, created a new album and published the photos; I check the option to sync with iPhoto on my MBP (since I wasn't using it).
    On my MBP, I opened iPhoto and could see the albums in the MobileMe section. I could see the photos "processing," which I took as downloading (synching) from MobileMe to iPhoto. This was a couple weeks ago.
    Recently, I tried to add faces to the photos. Option was not available. I tried to locate the photos in events; not available. Then, I tried to locate the originals for editing while using finder and showing the package contents of iPhoto; I couldn't. Last, I went back to iPhoto and right-clicked one of the photos from the MobileMe gallery album, selected Show File. The photos have indeed been downloaded from my MobileMe gallery, however, to a different user account on the MBP.
    e.g
    me > Pictures > iPhoto LIbrary > Originals > 2010 > 'not found'
    other user > Pictures > iPhoto LIbrary > Originals > 2010 > Boston [this album is from my MobileMe account]
    Thoughts on what may be causing this?
    And, how can I correct this or prevent the photos from downloading to a different user account on the MBP; whom is not a MobileMe user?
    I thought about just moving the original folders where the photos are, but want to know why this happened and how I can prevent it further.
    Thanks for your help.

  • HT5129 all of my albums in mobile me came from my albums in iPhoto. will mobile me recognize that, or would it place a duplicate copy back to my iPhoto?

    all of my ablums in mobile me came from my albums in iPhoto. will mobile me recognize that? or would it migrate duplicates back to my iPhoto? thanks.

    OT - Unfortunately, Apple hasn't made it that easy.  They've tried, but didn't get there.  I have been logged out of MMe from the System Preferences for months, and I am still getting the new message now every time I open iPhoto to migrate my albums to iPhoto from MMe.  I deleted those photos (which I had also like fatsojung loaded from iPhoto in the first place, but now have divided some of those to separate libraries for space), and even had deleted the albums from MMe!  Thought I was DONE with MMe months ago!!  Now I'm getting the following message when I try to delete my MMe account from my iPhoto preferences to stop the message:
    "31 albums will be removed from your IPHOTO LIBRARY."!!!!  Is that a typo??  Shouldn't it say "MobileMe gallery"?  As those photos are still in my iPhoto library, I certainly do NOT want them deleted from iPhoto!    And why does it still have all 31 albums in there when I deleted them from MMe months ago??  I feel like I'm in a horrible loop that won't let me go!
    It's just a pain if I have to let it download all those pictures into my iPhoto trash, then delete them AGAIN.  And frankly I'm a bit worried that it will confuse it with my originals that are still in that library.  Good thing I have Time Machine! 
    Any insight as to what actually happens when we click "Remove"?  Thanks.
