Add password after a web gallery is published?

I published 9 web galleries of each of my kids and their cousins with over 2000 images and it took 8+ hours for everything to upload.
After I showed my husband he really wants it password protected. I didn't think it mattered because who else would be interested in family photos...
But now I don't see a way to add a password after the fact. I don't want to have to republish everything since it took so long.
Any ideas???

It's sad we even have to think about these things but for a variety of reasons it's probably best to preserve our kids anonymity.
My partner seemed shocked when I said I was putting some family photos up on .Mac gallery until I explained you could password protect etc and that they wouldn't necessarily be available to anyone on the net.
There was an article (NY Times maybe) a few months back suggesting that many young job applicants are doing themselves no favours posting 'humorous' photos on social networking sites as many HR departments now search for prospective job applicants online to see if they've posted anything which would not be deemed respectable by the company - incredible bu true!

Unable to edit, add or change passwords in iphoto web gallery

Iphoto and Web Gallery were working great but recently, I am unable to add, change, or delete passwords to my web galleries. When I go Settings and into Edit Names and Passwords, I can add or change a password but when I click OK, it will not allow either clicking on OK or hitting return. I have also posted an album to web gallery and it does not appear in the list in Settings or in the Edit Name and Password lists but I can see my gallery out on the web with all photos.
Any help on why this is. I have both a IMAC and a Macbook and it is the same with both computers using my imac account. Both have updated software and the Macbook has Parallels installed. I
ran repair in Keychain Access with no problems. I created another account and this did not help.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
2 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 08 libraries 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.

Setting a password at the web gallery level

Hi,
I would like to host multiple password-protected albums in my web gallery but don't want to require my viewers to enter a password for each album they visit. Is there some way I can set password protection at the web gallery level and make all albums accessible to those who successfully authenticate?
thank you!

No, not with iPhoto. That can be done with iWeb. You password protect a single site and can have multiple photo pages, i.e. slideshows, in that site. The just provide the URL to the site along with the password and user name to use.
It's so easy to create the photo page/slideshow in iWeb by dragging the album of the photos you want to use into the iWeb photo page like this.

Can't access password protected .Mac Web Gallery

Safari is my primary browser. I have been creating web galleries using iLife '08 and my .Mac account and then viewing them with Safari for the past month or so with no trouble. This weekend I tried creating a password protected web gallery and it won't load in Safari. The gear icon just spins forever and has timed out when I have left it alone long enough. My other web galleries continue to load just fine. Clicking on the link from within iPhoto for my password protected gallery doesn't work, typing the url into Safari doesn't work, going to my gallery index and clicking on the icon of the "locked" gallery doesn't work, etc. I can still view all of my other web galleries, but this one that I'm trying to protect just won't load.
This actually appears to be a Safari problem. I don't get a dialog asking for User Name and Password. The url works just fine using Firefox on my Mac, and it also works on a PC running Windows XP. When using something other than Safari, I get the prompt for User Name and Password that I would expect. Upon entering that information, everything looks normal and works just fine.
Tsk tsk Apple! Safari shouldn't be having trouble displaying protected .Mac web galleries. Sheesh!

Just wanted to let you know that I have the EXACT SAME problem, except it is affecting my password protected iWeb site and my Gallery. I can view it from Firefox, so that is the web browser I am using now. I sent a bug report to Apple, and I also send them a request for help using e-mail, but so far I have gotten no response. Hopefully someone is working on the fix?

Problem getting bg image to show after integrating Web Gallery in page

Hi,
I'm new to Dreamweaver this year just coming over from the bad guys. I was looking to create a web gallery for my client when I came across a great article by David Powers that really worked well and made it pretty simple. (see here)
http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/gallery/embed1.php
The only problem I'm having is I want to use the background on the page I've created and not use a background color. In both CS4 & 5 The Bridge doesn't give you an option that I could find to insert background image which would have solved everything. Seeing as I'm inserting one page using iforms makes it a bit complicated and I've tried for a couple days but I can't figure it out. I'm more a designer then coder and when it gets to this part I hate it.
The behind the scenes page can be found here. I"m not sure why its showing white but in theory that shouldn't matter as the colours in the bottom I want replaced with my backround image the same as in 'trimworks'.
http://www.homeworks4u.ca/Trimmwork.html
This is my first posting.
I've done as much reading on css and figuring out how to do the web gallary I've run out of time!
Thanks in advance,
Sc.

I checked and flash had it set to opaque...so I tried windows and still nothing. I didn't really want to try the last option as that will reduce performance and the images are already high rez as it is. And this was done thru Bridge. You'd think there would be an easy way just to get a background in instead of the colours. Unfortunatly Flash is covering the entire area that my client wants the background showing....this was a last minute thing...just like the image gallary...we were all set for flash video show with his own tv set and all. Now he's mad cause I can't get a background to work.
http://www.homeworks4u.ca/untitled-7trim.html
Is the page where both pages are combined....including the image gallary...
http://www.homeworks4u.ca/TrimworksWG.html ( don't be fooled, view sorce)
This is the page The Bridge creates and then used Iframes to put it in the above page and want the background to show thru, not the dark colours.
The last one was close, but now I'm afraid with flash completely overtop of the background it could be hopeless. I'm on a time constrain. You all know how it is with clients with every changing ideas 3 days before launch which was last week. Any ideas at all at this point would be helpful. He just wants a photogallary that he can see his background thru! I"m willing to change programs at this point if I have too for something that easily puts the background in for you! I'd trade my time im for that at this point!
Thanks Everyone and Thanks Nancy!

Web Gallery: Preventing Users from Downloading Photos

Hi,
Ive recently uploaded a web gallery (wedding pictures) from iPhoto and I need to secure it. So far Ive password protected the web gallery, so that it is not accessible to the public. Ive also checked the option to prevent people from downloading pictures.
When I login to the Gallery, I find the "Download" button for each picture is greyed out, but then there is nothing stopping me from right-clicking on the image and saving it to the hard drive. Is there something Im missing here, or is this a bug in the Web Gallery?
Mark

Mark:
As already pointed out there's no way from stopping viewers from taking screenshots of your photos. You can, however, add a watermark to your photos to identify the owner. You can use an image editor like Photoshop Elements (used in the example) or one of the many watermarking applications available. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for watermark to find the various candidates.

Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?

when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?

You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions.

Missing images in web gallery- strange lines??

When I make a web gallery and publish to .mac a couple of images appear to be missing or are cropped.. its really odd.. everything looks fine in the preview. Also I sometimes get these really strange thin lines through my images.. I usually dont notice them until I get my prints done.. Has either of these happened to anyone? Thanks.

nikinoo --
In the past I've experienced the same problem with some web galleries. The problem went away after I quit Aperture & then opened it up again. I then went and republished the problem gallery without a hitch.
I too have experienced lines running through my images, but it's been quite some time -- The upgrades that Apple has released appear to have corrected the problems. It might be helpful for you to list what printing settings you are using, there are tons of people here who should be able to help.

Adding Images to Web Gallery

After my Web Gallery is uploaded and I get additional images from subsequent shoots, I'd like to import and add them to the slideshow, then to the Web Gallery without having to re-type the Web Gallery info into the boxes again. Any way to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Only if you use a separate FTP Client and just overwrite the originals with the Sharpened ones. Make sure you are replacing the correct ones or doing them all. Most Galleries from LR generate two or three Sizes.

Reload iPhoto .mac web gallery photos

I have reinstalled iPhoto' 08 because it stopped working. After reinstall it I can update the .mac web gallery, every gallery I add, appears in .mac web gallery after the first 4 galleries wich were uploaded before reinstall iPhoto.
Is it possible to force iPhoto to reload that galleries? I would not like to delete that galleries and upload it again.

I've founded how to solve my problem in another place from this forum.

Web Gallery Questions

Sometimes, when I add photos to my Web Gallery, they remain in perpetual pending mode and never actually show up on the Web gallery, even though they are in my iPhoto Web Gallery Album. I can't seem to solve this unless the only answer is to delete and reload the entire web gallery??? I have deleted the pending photos and reloaded them but they stay in pending mode forever and never show up on the actual web gallery.
How do I, as the owner of my gallery, access photos other users have uploaded and edit them, such as editing the title? I do not see these new photos in my web gallery album in iphoto despite them showing up when I go to the gallery via the browser.
Can you upload, as a visitor to some else's web gallery from your own iPhoto or do you have to drag the photo out to the desktop so you can access it from the upload dialog. The upload dialog does not seem to have a photo browser, just as normal open dialog.

Mark:
I don't have an answer to your problem but do want to warn you against subscribing to your gallery to get those added photos. If you do you'll be in danger of replacing your full sized original files with the 800 x 600 files that the gallery uses.

Web Gallery and photo Info

I just took some photos with my Canon 40D. I imported then directly into Aperture 2.0. After adding some to a Web gallery and publishing I viewed the info by pressing . It is missing most of the information that I would want to see.
There is no shutter, aperture, ISO, etc information.
Is there something special that needs to be done to display this information.

There seams to be a minor bug or maybe an intentional feature here. When you create a web album you will have the option to upload large JPEG versions of your images. If you select only to upload medium size JPEGs then Aperture will not include EXIF or IPTC data into those medium JPEGs.
If you in the web album settings window go to "Allow: Downloading of: " and check that with any of the three option (Optimized Images/Actual Size Images/Masters and Optimized Images) then Aperture will generate larger JPEGs that includes EXIF and IPTC data.
Upload time will be a lot longer since these files are a lot larger than the medium size JPEGs.
It might be better if Aperture had a check box where you could decide to include or exclude these metadata.

IPhoto '08: Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Gallery & Slideshows ???

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08 and I am confused.
I must admit I used iPhoto before to look at my pictures but I never bothered with any albums or slideshows or whatever, but now with more and more pictures I need to organize.
So this new iPhoto comes with all sorts of way to organize such as Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Galleries & Slideshows. Quiet frankly I am LOST as to what to use when or for what ???
Okay I can get Web Galleries is for posting on the .mac as a gallery. Why did they do this again if you iWeb that creates photo pages???? Why is this not integrated in iWeb????
Now moving on. What's the difference between Events, (Smart Albums) and Slideshows. They seem to be ways to organize your photos. BUT why have THREE of them? When to use which one?
Any help or comment appreciated as I am confused ....

Events, Smart Albums, Albums and slideshows are different. Here is a short explanation of each:
Events= Every time you import photos from your camera or via drag & drop a new Event is created. This is the basic (automatic) way that iPhoto organizes your photos. Events are date based and can be split or merged based on your preferences. For example, you go to a birthday party and take a few photos, a few days later you go to a picnic and take a few photos. When you import the images, iPhoto will split the pictures into two distinct events. (Check The iPhoto Preferences/Events for some options).
Albums= These are containers that you create to easily group photos in any way you prefer (ex. Combine photos from a couple of holiday parties into one album). You can drag and drop photos in Albums. When you delete a photo in an Album it does not get deleted from the main library. Albums contain links to the photos, not the actual photos. You can manually re-order the photos in an Album. It is always a good idea to create an Album first, edit and re-order your photos there and then create a slideshow, book or web gallery from the Album.
Smart Albums= These are Albums you create that have specific rules, they automatically get updated every time a photo meets the specific set of rules. Smart Albums (SA) can have one or more rules. ex. You have 2 different cameras and you automatically want to see the photos captured by each camera. You create 2 Smart Albums that contain the Rule = Camera Model > is > Nikon D40 (or whatever). Next time you import photos from that camera, the SA will show these photos automatically. (Note: These are links, but if you delete an image, unless you delete it permanently it will re-appear in the SA, as long as it still has the required value of the SA. You can sort by Keyword, Ratings etc using Smart Albums, and you can have multiple sort rules, like Keyword = Birthday and Rating is 5 stars.
Slideshows= iPhoto has 2 types of slideshows available. The first is the "quick" slideshow. You can select any Album or Smart Album click on the Play button, set the transition select the music and you are ready to go. The 2nd type, the Cinematic Slideshow, are albums created specifically as Slideshows. They contain photos you selected and you want to see on your screen in a slideshow presentation. You can set specific transitions between slides, set individual slide times, select music and specify where the Ken Burns effect will start in a slide and where it will end. They are more elaborate than the Quick slideshows.
Web Galleries = are a quick way to share photos with friends, you just select the Photos and click on the Web Gallery button. You set some basic options and publish. Visitors get to see the photos in 3-4 different views including a slideshow, but you can also allow the viewers to add photos to your web gallery. Every time you add a new photo to a web gallery album in iPhoto, it will update the web site when you click the little publish icon next to the name. You can also set tan option to make this happen at specific intervals. (Check the iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery).
I hope this answered some of your questions. Good luck.
