Can I publish to Web-Gallery from several Macs?

We have several Macs in the (extended) family, all running iPhoto (iLife08 and Leopard). I have ONE .Mac account (family account; i.e. for 5 people).
Here are a few related questions:
1. Can each person publish to this one Web Gallery account?
2. Is each "publisher" the owner of this specific Album on the Gallery? Or is there a "master" owner?
3. How do I then control the sequence of the published albums?
4. I published a series of albums on the Web Gallery; then I had to switch iLibraries (because a single one became to big) with (commercially available) iPoto Libary Manager, now the once published series is no longer visible on the web.
Thanks for any pointers/answers/suggestions.
Cheers,
Veit

Velt:
1 -You can setup a web gallery so others can add photos to via a web browser and by email. Also they can subscribe to the gallery, i.e. download the photos to their library.
2 -You would be the controller of the gallery.
3 -You control the sequence of the published albums by arranging them in iPhoto in the order you want - in the left hand pane under Web Gallery. If you want just your extended family to have access then you can password/user name protect the galleries.
4 - the galleries should not be removed from online just because you opened a different library. Open the original library, go to the web gallery and bookmark it in your browser for access regardless of which library you're running. You can confirm that the galleries are still online by going to your iDisk/Web/Sites/-gallery folder and checking for the gallery folders there.
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 or later), 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can I publish a web page from my Mac with something more sophisticated than I-Web for my business?

I want to construct a web page for my business. I-Web seems to be less sophisticated. I wanted to use SiteBuilder by Yahoo, but Mac is not compatable. I have looked and have not found much, and that suggests that there are no tools to publish a web page other than I-Web.

I don't use any of the free editors but a Google search resulted in several being available. Since they are free you could try them and stick with the one that best works for you.http://webdesign.about.com/od/macintoshhtmleditors/tp/free-macintosh-editors.htm

Can you create a web gallery from Stacks?

Hi.
I have several stacks totalling 108 images.
How do I create a web gallery that shows the images, not the picks from Stacks? Is that even possible?
Thanks,
Scott

I would keyword the stacks in question then build either an Album or a Project from the keyworded images, and a web gallery from that.

Can't subscribe to Web Gallery from iPhoto 6

I've created a Web Gallery with iPhoto '08. People can view it from multiple current browsers is OS X and Windows, and can download the individual pictures or the entire album. People with Windows and people with iPhoto '08 can subscribe to the Web Gallery, but people with iPhoto 6 cannot subscribe.
Subscribing in iPhoto 6 returns an error:
There is a problem updating the subscription for the Photocast: "Abouaf/Pizante Family Cruise '07." The Photocast cannot be found on the .Mac server.
Is it possible that the special characters in the name of the Web Gallery (/ and ')are causing aproblem in iPhoto 6? Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?
Thanks.

Mike:
I don't believe that iPhoto 6 supports web galleries. When I tried to subscribed to my web gallery with my iPhoto 6 library it reported that there were no photos in the photocast section of the iDisk. It's looking for a photocast, not a web gallery. They are located in different folders. The galleries in the web/sites/_gallery folder and the photocast in the web/sites/iPhoto folder.
Do you Twango?

Can't Publish to Web Gallery

Hi!
I have a slightly annoying problem.
I am selecting an event in iphoto and then clicking publish to web gallery. A window pops up to say that I need to be logged in to .mac to use web gallery.... I have the option to login, learn more about .mac or 'no thanks'. I select 'login'. It automatically logs me in and that's it. Nothing happens. If close the window and try again, it just goes around in the same loop.
My other .mac services are working fine.
Any one know to fix this?

Robin
Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
1 - Are you running iPhoto version 7.1.3 (the latest version)
2 - GO to your system preferences ==> Internet & network ==> .mac and verify that everything is correct there
3 - in Safari go to www.apple.com and log into your .mac account and go to the account page and verify that everything is correct there
4 - try again

I can't publish to Web Gallery

I had an album on my Web Gallery and intended to add another album tonight. I can't see the old one and can't publish the new one. I keep getting the error "Request to the Server Failed"
Does anyone know what this means and how I can get my iPhoto to connect? I have internet service that is working, so this doesn't make sense to me. TIA.

I am now having the same problem - I keep getting an error saying cant find server - yet iWeb and Mobile are publishing and syncing fine.

Publishing a web gallery via Homepage

I've followed the rather cryptic instructions found in one of the manuals and also on a post here to a "t" and still can't get my web gallery up at .mac. I've created a new Homepage, added a new "page", clicked "edit link", inserted teh URL from the Aperture "publish" button, and it still doesn't work. (As an example of cryptic, the "example" in the edit link field says "www.mac.com" -- that doesn't really bear any resemblance to the actual link that shows up in Aperture. There appears to be a complete file located on my iDisk in the Sites folder, but nothing, nada, zilch. I keep getting an error page when I try to go to the published site. In the end, I exported to iPhoto and created a new iWeb page without any trouble at all, but I'd prefer to skip the extra steps.
Can anyone point me to a definitive set of instructions on how to do this and why should it be this hard anyway?
iMac G5 20" 1.8 ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi,
Use the SEARCH button here on SDN, there have been already several blogs explaining how to publish web services.
By the way, SAP is a software vendor. You have to tell which SAP software product and release you are using...

Web Gallery from iPhoto

Is anyone having the problem of creating a web gallery from an Event in iPhoto but not getting a picture for that gallery and inability to scroll through images in gallery? When I click on the gallery I get all the images, I am just not getting the one image to represent each gallery. I am publishing a web gallery from an iPhoto event and getting a gray image with a lock in the right lower corner. Why am I not getting a photo from the album, one that you can scroll like I am suppose to? Please help.

In the tab "web gallery" in the iPhoto preferences I can see the title of all three albums. In fact, I tell it to check for new photos, and for few second you can see them reappear in the organizer bar on the left, with the circling wheel like it is being synchronized, but they disappear fast, and forever gone!!. Again, I can see in the copy of iDisk in my desktop that the galleries are there, and in the .mac website, I can see them. But not in iPhoto.

By creating Web Gallery from CS4 Bridge can we allow people to download photos

I want to create web gallery from CS4 but want to allow users to download a particular photo or the full album. How can we do this setting. May be we can create a PDF file but that will allow user to download the full PDF and then create a new page and save the PDF again with the particular photo but I need them to save the file in JPG.
Do any one know how to do this setting making Web Gallery in HTML or other option JPG format.

How do you automatically update a Web Gallery from a Smart Album?

I just installed iPhoto '08, and like the new features. I have published several Web Galleries, which are great for people who don't have Macs. I am publishing a smart album of all of the photos taken in the last month (Date is in the last 1 Month). However, when I add new photos, they show up automatically in the Smart Album, but they don't show up automatically in the Web Gallery. Is there a way to do this in iPhoto '08? Is there a way to do this with Automator? Thanks for your help.

TeeJay6:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you can't because the web gallery is a separate entity from the smart album. Once the gallery is created in iPhoto you have to add photos to it manually and then click on the icon to update it online.
Do you Twango?

"An error occurred while publishing the album "albumname." this is not a valid location for this request.
my dotmac account is programmed into my computer and working just fine in every other way. what's going on here?
help! thank you

David:
How long has this gone on? Have you been able to publish successfully previously? Apple has been having problems with their servers for the last several days. My publishing efforts from iWeb and iPhoto have been sporadic, good one moment and bad a short time later only to get good again. Be sure to post your problem to the .Mac and iPhoto feedback sites:

Im trying to publish a web gallery to BC, my settings seem correct but I'm still getting an error: FTP transfer failed ' unknown error'. Techs on BC, say FTP working fine. Please help!

Hey peeps,
Im trying to publish a web gallery to be hosted on BC. Despite having what seem the correct settings im getting an error: FTP transfer failed ' unknown message'. Have checked with techs on BC. They say FTP working fine that end.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried connecting to another FTP server in Lightroom?
For example, if you get a free Flickr account, can you login to it and upload a file to it?
If you can't upload to any server, then you have a general FTP-in-Lr problem, but if problem is only with BC then, well, it's time to start scrutinizing the BC settings..
PS - All my FTP'ing plugins have an enhanced FTP settings test feature designed to help you debug FTP settings, so another option is to download one of them, for example:
robcole.com - FTPAggregator
and experiment with settings tester:
To get here, you have to click 'View / Edit Additional Settings' (in plugin manager), then choose 'New' or 'Edit' from 'Sync Pairs' drop-down menu.
If test is unsuccessful, enable verbose logging (top section of plugin manager), and review the log file after test, or send to me.
If you have a problem running plugin, please contact me directly:

Web Gallery from iPhoto - Help

I have published 3 albums through web gallery from iPhoto. For a few days, I would see in the left panel, under "Web Gallery", the name of each gallery, and the status, sync, being sync, etc. Suddenly, this bar only displays one, the other two are still accessible through .mac, I can see them, I also can see them in the preference area under web gallery, but again, they are not being displayed on the left organizer bar, so I cannot drag and drop, or see the pics there and edit when I want.
I do not know why would one published album be displayed, and the other don't..
Any clues??
Thanks

In fact, I tell it to check for new photos, and for few second you can see them reappear in the organizer bar on the left, with the circling wheel like it is being synchronized, but they disappear fast, and forever gone!!.

Enabling Web Gallery from ,Mac

How do I enable the Web Gallery feature the .Mac website so I have publish some pictures from my iPhone?

If you will search the iPhoto-Camera/Pictures forum, there are a number of threads outlining the steps.
In summary:
1) When viewing a picture on your iPhone, click the bottom left button (send button) and make sure you have the Send To Gallery button available
This button will ONLY be available if you have a .mac email account setup on your phone PRIOR to downloading the 1.0.1 iPhone update
2) Make sure you have the iPhoto 08 update installed (web galleries will not work without the update)
3)Launch iPhoto, select a few photos, and click the Web Gallery button at bottom; Choose all the options include allow upload to Gallery, publish the gallery (if you don't choose allow upload, you will not be able to upload from the Iphone)
4) Choose picture on iPhone, click bottom left send button, choose Web Gallery and send.
Again, there are MANY threads on this topic on the iPhone-Photos forum. This question does not involve iWeb in any way!
