Alternative to gallery

I use Gallery on MobileMe to share images and iMovie projects. Can anyone please recommend a replacement? It worked so well I am very disappointed it will not be available after June 2012. Smug Mug is a possible but I haven trialed it and it is not as user friendly for non professionals.
Many thanks for your assistance

I use my own Mac. I know it sounds unsophisticated but for non commercial use my cable service has plenty of bandwidth. The only downside is that the IP address is a number and doesn't have a domain name, but once you tell people the number then they can just drag the http://xx.xxx .../ to their bookmarks for easy access.
In fact I think it is much better than an 'outside' server ... instant 'uploads' ... ha!
Another downside is that you really should have a desktop instead of a laptop because your site should be left 'on-line' at least during the day. That's not to say it won't work with a laptop but if you take your laptop away from your home internet location your site disappears. I leave my Mac mini up during the day (it will still wake-up for internet service at night but it takes a few moments).
Steps:
1) create your web page or site.
Software I use:
TextEdit for my plain vanilla pages
Quicktime for simple video export
iPhoto for galleries from my various albums
Keynote for my slideshows
Garageband for podcasts
iMovie for home videos
iWeb to integrate ... although it will eventually fall out of date
you use the Sharing menus for export
then embed into iWeb or merge together the content in your own custom homepage with TextEdit.
2) then publish your site to your HomeName > Sites folder (or your other web folder in the computer root ... see next step)
3) turn on the built-in Apache server via Sys Prefs > Sharing > Web Sharing ... I selected both my Personal website Folder and my Computer website folder so I could distinguish between my work and family if I wanted to ... I like multiple options!
If you are hardwired to one computer then you should be on-line ... test with your IP address with Safari. (IP address found in Sys Prefs > Network > advanced button > TCP/IP tab IP address or it should show up in Sys Pref > Sharing
4) now if you are on a wireless system in your home it is a little more complicated ... then you need to use Airport Utility to port map/tunnel to your machine. We have both Personal and Computer servers running on two machines. You need to port map to each machine. Everything is considered by default 80 but the incoming address needs to identify each machine by a different number (ususally ports 8080 and 8008 for alternative web sites). Therefore, your web IP address must end with :8080 or :8008 if you have two machines otherwise you can just default to 80 with one machine. Since wireless routers usually distribute one IP address to multiple devices then you need to assign a port for personal web sharing to your computer. Airport Utility > Manual Set-up button > Advanced tab > Port Mapping tab > + to Choose a Service > Personal Web Sharing > public TCP port 80 (default), 8008 or 8080 (if separate servers in home) ... private TCP should always be 80 .. the private IP address will be 10.0.1.x depending on the NAT distribution (don't change this number). Name the service with a name > Done. Make sure it is checked in the pane window to Allow access to the service.
5) test with your IP address with Safari (using http://providedIPaddress:8080 or 8008 which ever you used if you have more than one computer) ... http://providedIPaddress/~yourusername/ ,or http://providedIPaddress/ if you 'publish' to your computer web folder (that path is MacintoshHD > Library > WebServer > Documents).
BTW, before I published my web pages I 'archived' the original default pages in both the personal site and computer site web folders into an 'original web folder'. Otherwise your new index.html will overwrite the original index.html.
With these methods I have much faster uploading and I am using the Mac OS X in a manner Apple intended, plus I control everything form my home computer ... as long as my provider permits this outside web access.

Photo Gallery Software for Mac OS X Server

I'm porting my Linux server infrastructure over to Mac OS X Server. I've successfully moved over my DNS, Mail and most of my web sites to Mac without a problem. However, the last website is causing me a bit of pain. In Linux I was using Gallery 2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/), but I'm not sure how to get this to work on Mac OS X. In particular there are a bunch of dependencies that I'm not sure exist in Mac (ffmpeg, etc.)
* Is there an alternative photo gallery software that people use which may install/work better on the Mac? We have wiki and blog services in the Web Server Admin pane, but I don't see a photo gallery service.
* Has anybody had success in using gallery2 over to the Mac? What dependencies were needed and how did you find them?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi
For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

Gallery sorting issue

I have a problem with sorting photos in a gallery. I have renamed photos in PC and by names and numbers for eg. Pic 01, pic 02, pic 03 etc.... in PC they are sorted by name. When I send to to my device they are sorted chaotically. It is quite annoyind. What should I do to have pictures sorted alphabetically?

Personally I don't need your kind of sorting and with the recent update to manage folders it got almost perfect for me... But I've heard that Quick Pic is the best third party alternative for gallery apps

Where can we get PowerShell PowerPack and PSImage from?

Most interesting articles about reading / setting EXIF tags in pictures from PowerShell (e.g.
http://www.ditii.com/2010/07/01/powershell-image-module-with-exif-and-tagging-support-inc-gps/,
http://jamesone111.wordpress.com/2010/07/07/working-with-the-image-module-for-powershell-part-3-gps-and-other-data/) link to two software packages: the PowerShell PowerPack and the PSImage module. These were hosted at
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PowerShellPack and
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PSImage/, respectively.
Both have been "retired" from MSDN.
Where can we find them?

You can't as they are "retired" and it is unlikely that they would work with the current version of Net. This is usually why code is pulled.

Draggable properties window on Canvas

Hello, in my application I am drawing selectable basic shapes like line ellipse rectangle inside a Canvas control. When user selects these control I want to display a draggable properties window showing different properties like color/width/size for that
shape. This property window should move inside the Canvas when user drags the window. User can select multiple shapes and multiple properties windows can be visible,for,user.
How I can display a property window when user selects the control.

There are several options for property editing.
Coincidentally I'm working on a sample presents one way and lists some alternatives:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/WPF-Property-List-Editing-a9780412
One of those ought to do the job.
The other question is how you show this.
You can make a popup appear in a position relative to a control.
That's one option.
<Popup IsOpen="True" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=yourshape}"
Placement="Bottom">
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb613596(v=vs.110).aspx
That IsOpen controls whether you see the popup or not.
Bind that to something like maybe IsSelected if you have that on your shapes and it'll appear as the user selects, disappear as they de select.
You didn't ask, but those resize handle thingummies you see in the visual studio designer on controls are adorners.
You could possibly do something similar and make the adorners appear as a shape is selected ( as well ).
Please don't forget to upvote posts which you like and mark those which answer your question.

Mobile Me Gallery RIP - but what alternatives ?

I have been using Mobile Me Galllery for many years and love it - sadly it is about to die. So what are the alternatives, I certaily dont get Photo Stream - makes not sense at all and does not work for sending someone a link to a set of photos for an event ?
I tired Flickr, but really dont like it and or their fees. Is there another service that integrates to Aperture and offers "sexy" Web galleries with the level of control we had with Mobile me ?
Or are Apple just messing with us and are about to release a practical alternative ?
Help !

I sure hope so, but am not holding my breath.
I really have little interest in iCloud features especially Photostream as I wouldn't want all my images suddenly appearing on the family AppleTV or all my iOS devices.
MobileMe has its faults but is a collection of highly useful tools that were rendered fsirly useless when they announced it was shutting down - my account renewed a few weeks before the free extension, but I've barely added any new web/gallery content as it would be a waste of time for something with a limited lifespan.

HT4597 what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

what will be the new alternatives for iWeb publishing, Idisk & photo gallery ?

Thanks for the reply that there will be 3rd party support.
One of the main reasons why I went from PC to Mac was because of all these cool features.
Am dissapointed to see them leave. ( Iweb, Photogallery, Idisk... )

Nokia E73 Mode File Manager/Gallery Alternatives?

Not sure if I'm in the right section, but I'm assuming.
For the Nokia E73 Mode the Gallery is too chaotic and disorganized. The images are organized on "Date Taken" instead of alphabetical or folders.
Normally I resolve this issue by viewing images via the File Manager option phones have. The problem with the Nokia E73 Mode File Manager is the files are not displayed through a thumbnail and in order to view the photo I have to open the file (and "View" it). It is annoying because it takes too long.
Now my question is for an alternative. Is there an alternative File Manager for E73 Mode that displays the files in a Thumbnail list?

Oh wow, I'm a total phone noob. Yeah, there was totally multiple USB options in the settings on the phone. I selected Data Storage and now I'm in business. Thanks for the tip!

Sharing photos via MobileMe Gallery - what alternative?

I have been sharing photos with my soon to be 80 years old mother via my MobileMe gallery, all I had to do was send her the link, while all she had to do was subscribe to my gallery in order to have the images download to iPhoto. This was easy and straightforward for her.
How should I handle this task after the discontinuation of MobileMe? PhotoStream doesn't seem to be designed for this task, and I don't want her to have to jump through too many hoops, since she still uses her computer on a beginner's level.
Thanks for any suggestions!

How do I add second MobileMe Gallery to iPhoto

Hello Friends. On the left side of the iPhoto window I have all my albums, keepsakes, facebook pics, and my mobileme galleries. Now, that works great for me, but my wife can't use her mobileme with iPhoto (or we just haven't figured it out. Is there a way to add a second gallery to iPhoto? I have iPhoto 8.1.2 and I'm using a macbook pro os 10.6.3. Thank you everyone in advance.

Hello MacJersey,
If I understand you correctly your wife has her own MobileMe email address (aka MobileMe account) and she wants to publish galleries from iPhoto?
If that is the case you would want to create a new user account (Creating a new user account) for your wife to use. She can then have her own iPhoto Library with her own pictures and publish to her own Mobile Me account.
(Publishing to more than one MobileMe member name from the same computer user account can get very confusing and I do not recommend it.)
As an alternative she can login to the www.me.com website with her MobileMe member name and upload pictures to her gallery from there.
Hope that helps

I would appreciate any input on alternative for Book production to suit my worklflow?

Hi
I'm trying to get into photo-book production to document my holidays, wildlife trips, etc., and I've become very frustrated with the available tools and techniques that seem to be commonly promoted. As Lightroom is the basis of nearly all of my photographic workflow, I thought that I'd see if anyone here has any experience / ideas on alternative tools / suppliers / techniques that can fit naturally with my workflow, and produce the sort of book that I want?
As I see it, the basic drawback of everything that I've looked at is that they are based around the idea of page templates, with pre-determined cells into which you drop the photos. This seems to me to be hugely constraining.
What I have at the end of my LR workflow, is a 'make book' collection containing the photos that I want, sorted mainly chronologically, but with some user sorting to group related photos. As far as I'm concerned, these photos are 'finished' - I'm happy with how LR has got them, and I don't want any other bit of software making further changes. In particular, they are cropped to a whole variety of shapes and dimensions to suit the subject matter, and ideally I will export them at the size that I want them to print in the book (at 300dpi or whatever is required) so that they don't need to be re-sized a second time.
Maybe my thinking is stuck in a rut, but what I think I want is something that gives me a blank page sized canvas, onto which I can drop the photos at the right size and shape, and position them to give the layout that I want - which will probably differ in some respect for almost every page! Plus I need to add text - captions on some but not all photos, headings on some but not all pages, and occasionally blocks of free form narrative.
I spent quite a bit of time with Blurb's Booksmart, but found that I needed to go into the rather clumsy template editor for almost every page - very tedious and frustrating. I've looked at most of the obvious European competitors - Abelli, CEWE, Bonusprint, Photobox, etc. - and they are just as constraining, if not worse.
When Adobe originally announced a Book module for LR, I was hopeful that this might be the answer, but as lots of others have pointed out, It is even more constrained.
The closest that I have come to getting what I want is actually the LR Print module, producing whole page JPEGs. I can drop the photos onto a custom template with no cells defined, and pull them to the size and position that I want - sizing is slightly fiddly, but very flexible. The big problem is text - no ability on custom layouts, and very limited in any case.
So - what am I missing? Is there a technique, or a tool, or a supplier than can do what I want? Any thoughts or comments gratefully received!
Environment:
Lightroom 4.2
Windows 7 64 bit
Canon EOS 7D - 100% RAW
Current Workflow:
(Entirely LR apart from very occasional foray into PS for edits that LR can't do)
Import all RAWs into LR (Copy to a new folder named with date and shoot id).
Pass 1 - initial sort, rejecting rubbish and duplicates; assigning categories (colours); ratings (5 = worth a large print, 3 = small print, 1 = keep but don't use).
Delete all rejects; rename all keepers (date, shoot id, sequence); backup keepers.
Pass 2 - all develop adjustments; crop to whatever dimensions suit subject matter; revise ratings.
(very occasional detour into PS for complex edits)
Pass 3 - select and create seperate collections for web, slide show and book production.
Print 5 & 4 star pics.
Upload web gallery.

How can I tell if a photo in an event is associated with a gallery?

How can I tell by looking at a photo in an event if that photos is currently being published to a gallery?
Alternatively, is there a way to make an event automatically tied to a gallery so that when the event is added to or changed, the gallery is also?
In general I'm having trouble deciphering the connection between galleries and events.
Thanks.
A Musliner

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What I do for my web gallery photos is to flag them. That tells me in the Photos mode or Events mode which photos I've used in a web gallery. You could use a keyword to do that also.
There is no unique connection between a web gallery and Event. A web gallery can be create from photos in multiple events. Generally speaking most users will assemble the photos in an Album and then create the gallery from it. Just makes getting all the photos into one group easier. Once a gallery is created it is no longer directly connected to that album, i.e. adding new photos to the album will not update the gallery. New photos have to be added directly to the gallery.
Do you Twango?
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.

Ia there a good alternative to Microsoft windows server for enterprise?

Hi Guys, I work at a small (22 FTE's) public(not-for-profit) art galley. We are currently a mixed pc/mac office with various departments, all with different needs. Communications/Design are Mac. 2/3rds of the Curatorial is Mac, 1/3rd PC. Public Programs is mostly Mac with one PC. The accounting, giftshop, and Databases are all PC. The giftshop and accounting use ACCPAC. The collections (artwork collection that is) department uses FileMaker Pro backend, with a frontend called "Virtual Collections". We very much dislike Virtual Collections BTW. Our other database, which handles membership, and financial donation tracking, is @EASE. Because we are not-for-profit our overall budget for IT is relatively small, and the system is the way it is because of years of neglect, and stop-gap purchases. We use a Microsoft Server with Exchange. We are in the process of building a new gallery, and with it the ability to start fresh on a number of levels. One of which is our Server. Personally I'd like to see us move away from the Microsoft server ecosystem. It is cumbersome, requiring lots of IT support (which we contract out by the way, and costs us a tidy little sum yearly on top of MS Server licensing etc.) Our Management team is considering going to an all PC environment with the (I feel mistaken) attitude that "if all computers are the same flavour, the whole system will run more smoothly and thus be less expensive to manage". As on of the Mac users within this system, who knows a little about, but is no expert in, computers and networks in general, I'd like to be able to open a dialogue with management at this crucial juncture on alternatives to the system we now use. I had run across a website some time ago that outlined the "real cost of owning and operating Microsoft Servers" but can not seem to locate it anymore. It basically broke down all costs of running a Microsoft environment, and concluded that, over time, it is not very cost efficient, especially for small enterprise. Has anybody run across any really good server alternatives to Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft Windows Server (I think ours is 2008)? We are a relatively small city, and the IT/Networking companies here all seem to push Microsoft as a be-all-end-all. I'm not so sure. I'd like to present viable alternatives with sound arguments to back them up. Can you guys help? Or, an you point me toward someone who can? Thanks guys, keep up the good work, Tmamer

Have you ever got this resolved?
I noticed your VIP and Public IP are not on the same subnet, i thought they had to be?
like both 10.x.x.x and subnet 255.0.0.0 or something like that?
Could this be your problem?
I am trying to setup a two node cluster Oracle Rac 10g on IBM Blade Center H with HS21 XM blades.
My problem is trying to setup HA and not have a single point of failure and in order to do this, it almost seems as if i need 4 network interfaces in the HS21 blade so i can team 2 together.
Did you guys purchase any addition expansion cards for these servers for that reason?
My understanding is that each HS21 have by default 2 nics, and they each go to one of the two internal cisco switches (within the entire bladecenter).
So if for instance we have one of the cisco switch die, like the one that has the public interface plugged into it, then we could not longer access the rac and that would be a single point of failure. So unless we can have 4 interfaces on the blade, and have them 2 teamed with each nic going to one of the cisco internal switches. So if any one cisco switch die's it just uses the other one.
Any thoughts, suggestions?

How do i download my photo gallery to i cloud ?

How do I download my mobile me photo gallery to i cloud ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)
