Album page template horizontal, my photos are vertical

Hi Y'all
I am using the Layered Paper template (iweb '09) for an artist's website and on the photo album page I add an album from iphoto with 3 vertical pictures and the "thumbnail" on the My Album page crops the vertical pix into a horizontal pix, cutting the top and bottom off the pix. On the actual album page all the pictures are working fine, no crop. All the pictures in this album are vertical. How can I deal with this?
Thanks for the help.

It's the nature of albums and the same for all themes. Nothing you can do that I know of. Send a feature request to the iWeb developers via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

When i try to transfer photos from mac to iPad the albums that move over do not contain the same photos as the albums on the computer. extra photos are added and some do not move over at all

when i try to copy albums or events from my computer to ipad 2, the transferred albums or events lack some photos from the original events but also contain other photos from differennt albums or events. i have tried rebuilding the thumbnails and repairing the database but none has made any difference. further if i try to import the entire library then again only a small subset gets over.

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality. What am I doing wrong?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Photos are gone from my iWeb page

Hello, I have iWeb 3.0.2(489) I hope I am in the correct place. When I first got iWeb, I hadn't figured out how to create a separate iWeb for each of the categories, so I have one page, with several titles on the top, and I can just click on each "title", and get the page I want to view.
The problem is, on just one of the pages, the photos are all gone. This is just a very recent development. After I select it, I get to the page, and the name is there on top of the page, but I cannot see the other names on top of that page, to select to leave the page , I just kind of click where I think the other names are, and get back to the first page.
I have MobileMe membership, but MobileMe chat tells me this is not a MobileMe issue, the website is not being published properly. What I don't understand is if all the other pages are Ok, why just this one. All of my software updates are up-to-date.
I hope someone may be able to offer some help, or suggestions as to why this is happening, which will be greatly appreciated. I realize that I may not be too clear in describing my problem so if you need more, or different information please let me know.
Thank you!
CGM

Those photos have not been uploaded to your MobileMe disk. The only file for that page that's there is the html file for the page. All of the supporting files are missing.
First, set the publication destination to a folder on your hard drive (bottom left image)
Click to view full size
and publish the entire site to it. Drag the index.html file in that folder into your open Safari window. This will open the site locally and you can check those albums to see if the photos are there.
If the photos are there and the site is complete reset the publication destination to MobileMe (upper right hand image in the screenshot above) and use the *File ➙ Publish Entire Site* menu option to upload the entire site again and check. If that doesn't do it make a small change to those pages, edit a word and then change it back, and publish the entire site again.
If the above still doesn't work you can manually upload your site by mounting your iDisk on the Desktop
Click to view full size
and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder. There you will see your site folder and an index.html file. Now drag the site folder you published to your hard drive onto the iDisk to replace the one that's there. That will get your site fully loaded.

Photo subpages disappearing from album page in iWeb 2009

One of the pages of my website is an album page. Theoretically, an album page should allow multiple photo subpages. Initially my album had two photo subpages. Now, however, I want to add additional subpages.
The problem I'm encountering is that these new subpages keep disappearing. Every time I quit and reopen iWeb, the original two subpages and any subpages created in the last session are present, but any subpages created in earlier sessions have disappeared. The disappeared subpages show up in the column of created pages on the left-hand side of iWeb, but they do not appear in the album page, and all photo content for the subpages has disappeared (although formatting and text boxes are unchanged).
I've tried multiple strategies to get around the disappearing page problem: duplicating existing album subpages, adding a new page within the album, adding a new page outside the album and then dragging it into the album, deleting the iWeb plist file and restarting the computer the page.
Any ideas how to fix this?

I have deleted the last imported photos thinking that the photos were kept in the album, but all my photos are now gone. How can I get the photos back from trash ?

I have deleted my file "last imported photos" thinking that the photos were kept in the album, but now all my photos are gone; How can I recover the deleted photos?

If you have emmptied the iPhoto trash then you're going to need a file recovery application like File Salvage

Iphoto albums and photos are mission

I currently have iphoto 6.0.6. When I open iphoto it is empty. All my albums and folders along with photos are not there. I know the photos are still on my hard drive but I don't know how to get everything back in iphoto.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Some possibilities:
1. Has iPhoto 'forgotten' where your library is? Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the iPhoto Library Folder. See if that will open it.
2. IS the db corrupted? Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

My Albums pages display incorrectly from personal domain URL

Pages on my iWeb website, created using the My Albums template, do not consistently display all the individual albums; one or more, or even all may be missing.
If I use the web.mac.com URL, e.g. http://web.mac.com/wpinnington/Photos/Holidays/Holidays.html the gallery pages always load properly; the problem only occurs when I use my personal domain URL, e.g. http://www.williampinnington.com/Photos/Holidays/Holidays.html.
I have discovered a work-around, which is to:
1) Create a new My Album page;
2) Move individual photo pages into the new My Album page;
3) Save;
4) Move the individual photo pages back to the original gallery page;
5) Save; and
6) Republish
I'd like to know what the problem is though, so I can avoid this tedious chore. The problem occurs in both Firefox and Safari, so is not browser related. Firefox Error Console says "Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open." Safari also reports "Error: Permission denied http://www.williampinnington.com/Photos/Scripts/iWebSite.js (line 504)". Line 504 reads "req.open('GET',url,true);req.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With','XMLHttpReque st');if(req.overrideMimeType)"
Can anyone shed any light on the root-cause of the problem? I assume there is a problem with the error handling in the iWeb code which creates the iWebSite.js file.
Kind regards,
William
P.S. I will leave the example URL broken for 48 hours before I fix it, so you can see for yourself.

Because of security issues, XMLHttpRequest is not allowed cross domain request, this is to avoid cross domain scripting.
So as long as you mask your domain, XMLHttpRequest will fail.

Can't drag images into new album page

Just started using iWeb because it seems easy to produce good looking basic pages. I may be missing something obvious, but having trawled all through this forum and iWeb help, I can't work out why the album page won't accept images dragged from the iPhoto tab of the media browser.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the prompt reply Mr Old Toad. In fact, despite the title of "Album Page" seeming to be self explanatory (usually the case with Mac software & why I love it so much) and the software instructions which say "Drag photo and movie pages here to make them accessible from one place", this time I have discovered by messing around that you have to add a "photos" page while the Album page is selected on the left. You then drag the required images into the photo page (not the album page). Each additional photo page added appears on the Album page as it is added.
One of the first methods I tried was to create an album in iPhoto and attempt to drag that into the album page. Didn't work, hence my request on this forum. So, looks like I answered my question myself. I still appreciate your diligent attention to this forum Mr Old Toad. I'm sure there will be a future problem that may not be so easily solved and that your or another's suggestion will come to the rescue.
Thanks

Shuffle Buttons disappeared on iphone even on the album page. Any Ideas?

I upgraded my iphone to the latest version and the shuffle buttons disappeared and I can't turn off the shuffle. I'm trying to listen to my audiobooks and it's driving me nuts! The buttons disappeared. I don't get a dropdown menu when I tap on the album page either. These audiobooks are my stress relief! Any ideas?

Hello there Gadslc,
It sounds like your content syncs over to your phone, but in the Music app, there is np Album or Artist tab to tap.
I recommend a couple things here. First close all the open apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone and retest the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Vertical Pictures Cut Off in Photo Album Page

On my photo albums page, the picture I want to use as the first picture is a vertical picture. But on the albums page, the albums are all horizontal. So when someone goes to look at my albums page, they just see these cut-off pictures with heads missing. Is there a way to change the orientation of the albums so they are vertical? Or is there a way to edit the first picture so that you can move the picture down so at least the head is showing in the horizontal view?

Hi Kara,
the only solution I can find is to drop a vertical photo into the MyAlbums page and cover the album with it (thus hiding the other head-less photo) linking that photo to the photopage.
However this will cause the effects moving the pointer over the album cover (skim, dissolve, ...) to disappear.
As far as I know albums can't be rotated and vertical photos are cut off and you can't tell iWeb not to cut them off...
Regards,
Cédric

Is there any reason photos in an album page display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

Is there any reason photos in an album page created in iweb display small on the iPad, but normally on an iMac? And videos on a movies page don't play on the iPad, but are OK on the iMac?

there are three displays in photos page:
1) thumbnails grid - smallest
2) deatial view and detail view slideshow - large
3a) pop-up slideshow - vary - this is slideshow.html
3b) or iphone/ipad slideshow phoneshow.html - iphone/ipad can't do pop-up
it's difficult to know which you refer to.
if you refer to pop-up slideshow then you should not look into iwebmediagrid.js as wyodor suggested.
instead look in phoneshow.html and change width and heigth of element id slideshow:
#slideshow {
position: relative;
width: 320px; /* this is default width */
height: 360px; /* this is default height */
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
overflow: hidden;

Many of my recently uploaded photos are horizontal when they should be vertical, and vice versa. I've corrected all these on my laptop but in my iPad and i Phone photo streams they are still mixed. How can I fix this? Thanks.

Add the corrected ones to your PS - PS contains only what was added to it - changes made are not applied to the PS - you have to re add the updated photos

How can I customize a Pages template to include a photo frame and text area?

I am putting together a reference notebook for volunteers at our local zoo.
I am attempting to format every info sheet the same. Each page will include a photo of the featured creature along with text including description, feeding habits, range etc.
The only program I have to publish with is Pages. I've tried to put in a "photo box" so that each photo is the same size and in the same location on the page etc. I just can't seem to find all the tools I need to do this.
I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks so much.

You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a photo, any photo. Now select the photo & resize it using the metrics inspector. Now, with photo selected, go to Format > Advanced & select Define as Media Placeholder. Then again go to Format > Advanced & select define as default image style. While you're at it set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. You can do similar settings with text boxes, tables, shapes, etc.
I suggest downloading the Pages User Guide from the Help menu & reading more about placeholders & about capturing pages (sorry, it's not something I can remember doing).

Grainy Photos in Album Page

Hi,
I'll start by saying that I've searched discussions and read the tutorials...and I'd prefer to fix this issue without resorting to codes/outside albums.
The photos published in the Album page are quite grainy/pixelated. I really need these to appear as sharp as possible as this is an artist's homepage. Will I need to publish the photos in their original size? I'm using the Leaf Print template and the website (under construction and all) is http://www.raraavisart.com
Thanks,
Shanna
BTW, a similar question was asked in an unanswered thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11320137&#11320137

What were the sizes of the original images that were used in the album. It appears that you've set the album to 1 column which will increase the image size of the photo used for that image. This demo page show the different sizes of images used for the different parts of a My Albums page: AlbumImageSize .
Try moving the spacing slider to the left a bit in the Media Index settings pane to reduce the album image size somewhat. The pixelation might be reduced to an acceptable level.

Album page template horizontal, my photos are vertical
