Can't send to .mac web gallery?

Hello, This feature has never worked for my phone, and having just recently started making use of my .mac account, I thought it would be fun to send photos to my web gallery. Problem is...Every time I try to send a picture to my .mac web gallery, it tells me that my .mac login has failed, and to check my .mac name and password in mail settings. They are correct, and I can get and receive mail on my .mac address. What gives? I've tried several times over the past several weeks. Any suggestions?

One thing to check out that might help.
Can you send and receive mail on your .mac account on your iphone.
If so, try emailing a photo to you .mac gallery without using the the send to web gallery button.
Use the email photo button and enter the .mac gallery email address
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1662
Another thing, go to settings > mail and check the default account is set to.
If you have more than one email account on the iphone, try setting it to the an account other than the .mac account.
Hope this helps.

Can't access .mac Web gallery on iPod touch

Hi.
I cannot access any .mac web gallery using Safari on my iPod touch.
I just get a blank page, with /iphone/ in the URL.
I find it annoying, since .mac web gallery is heavily advertised as working with iPhone, and I thought Safari was the same on iPhone and iPod touch.
Tested it with my web gallery http://gallery.mac.com/jcolas as well as Apple's sample gallery : http://gallery.mac.com/emily_parker
Anyone has a hint ?
Jérôme.

I can see your gallery on my Touch.
It's a list of:
Family reunion
School garden
Becky's birthday
etc.
It shows up as a list and then you click the list to get thumbs of all the pix, which of course you can enlarge.
Can you get that far?

A workaround for Aperture users to use .Mac Web Gallery

As a user who recently switched to Aperture - I was hugely disappointed seeing some amazing new photo-related features in iLife '08 not available for Aperture users. Let alone the cash for purchasing software suites, I can't convince myself switching back to iPhoto for a single feature. So I googled and searched around...
Some pre-requisite for the workaround: You must have iLife '08, Aperture and .Mac installed.
_*Solution 1*_
Create an album in Aperture that contains the images you want to upload to your .Mac Web Gallery. In iPhoto '08, create an empty library, then File > Show Aperture Library, choose the album and import images from there.
The downside of this is the images are your Versions in preview quality.
_*Solution 2*_
Export Versions from Aperture and import the images to iPhoto and perform the upload.
_*Solution 3*_
For users building websites in iWeb, I have seen threads that one could use the media browser in iLife suite to perform similar result but it also limits to the preview quality of Aperture.
I would have to say even the workaround is hugely disappointed but I can't see any other solutions at the moment. I couldn't recall my last ocassion on having such disappointment for Apple's software development.

Apple really needs to rev. Aperture so it sends photos directly to the new .Mac Web Galleries.
Everyone needs to go here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
And voice there opinion there to get this added to Aperture.
Thanks, Scott K.

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.

Safari Not Able to Open .Mac Web Gallery

This is a very unexpected error. A friend sent me his web gallery link and Safari is not able to open the page. An error message appears:
"This browser is incompatible with .Mac Web Gallery.
We support the following browsers:
Mac OS X
Safari 2.0 or later (requires Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later)
Firefox 1.5 or later"
Now that is very unexpected because I'm using OS X 10.5.1 and Safari 3.0.4. Wouldn't you know that I can launch it just fine using Firefox. I don't want to use Firefox and thought I would be able to use an Apple product (Safari) to actually open Apple technology (web gallery).
This is the only issue I've experienced after Leopard upgrade and the most annoying. I've provided Safari Bug feedback, but I don't expect a response.
I'm looking for someone out there to help me through this issue. Otherwise, I hope Apple is listening. Don't give me a reason to switch back to FireFox.

Hi,
From previous postings here it seems to be a problem with the .Mac Gallery rather than Safari. Anecdotal reports seem to suggest there is insufficient bandwidth on those servers and when they get bogged down they mis-report the error message you saw.
Check in the [.Mac Web Gallery|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1199] forum to see if they have some more concrete information.

No .Mac Web Gallery visible in iWeb

I published a gallery with 3 albums in it and can see them in Safari. However, when I try to use Insert/.Mac Web Gallery, there is noting available to insert. How do I make the Gallery visible to iWeb. Also the .jpg files are low quality. Is there some way of publishing higher quality .jpg to the iGallery?
I'm now trying to use the Gallery since I have not been successful with publishing my web site onto .Mac with ~200 photos. There are also .avi files. Not sure if this is causing the trouble with publishing.

UPDATE:
It does appear as though it's an issue of security. If the Web Gallery is password protected, it won't show up in iWeb. I removed the password protection in iPhoto, and it showed up and I'm able to add it to iWeb. Now, it's not behaving quite like I thought it would, but that's another issue.

.Mac Web Gallery - Limit to photos per gallery?

Is there a limit to how many photos you can have in any one gallery? I've dedicated 5 GB to my .Mac web gallery and have published 10 or so galleries totaling approximately 700 MB. There is one project that I want to make into a gallery that is 307 photos. However EVERY time I try to publish this in Aperture 2 it immediately publishes but always with 0 versions (i.e. photos) inside. In fact it shows in Aperture 2 but on my site it does not even show up as a gallery.
Anyone else experiencing this?
-Keith

Okay thank you Joe. I am trying to figure out why one of my galleries will not publish. It is 307 photos, about 900 MB (original size) and I'm trying to publish optimized photos with 5.2 GB free on .Mac. Very frustrating!!!

.mac web gallery compression/encoding

I have iLife '08 on a pre-intel mac so I don't have access to iMovie '08. I'm using the web gallery feature of .mac for my movies with less than stellar results.
Here is my workflow:
1. Create my movie in iMovie '06
2. Export as a QT web streaming-medium file.
3. Import above file into iPhoto '06
4. Share movie to .mac web gallery via iPhoto
You can only get content into your web gallery thru iPhoto or iMovie which is why I have to go this route. The problem is, the compression/encoding via iMovie allows the viewer a choice of small/medium/large movie, with the large selection (supposedly) DVD quality. I obviously offer only one fixed steam at the present.
My question is this, does anyone know the settings in QT pro I can use to achieve the same result as iMovie '08?

no, there is no dialog box. When you select "import to library" iPhoto simply imports the movie file. From there, you can share it to your .mac gallery.
Also, I don't want to strip out the other sizes. I want to include them.

.Mac Web Gallery - How to change key photo and order or galleries?

How can I choose which photo is the key photo for each .Mac web gallery? Also, how can I re-arrange the order of the web galleries?

I would really love to see a solution for this too ! Unfortunately I think apple just didn't implement it in Aperture. My .Mac web gallery is about events in my life and it doesn't make any sense to have it sorted alphabetically...
Not being able to simply set a key photo is really annoying too.
The worst is that these two functions are available in iPhoto. All they had to do was copy and paste...
Apple are you listening ?

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.

IWeb'08 lacks tight integration with .Mac Web Gallery

I just created an album page using iWeb'08 (http://web.mac.com/rodkar/Rods.Mac_Site/My_Mac_Album/My_MacAlbum.html) . I have also used iMove'08 and iPhoto'08 to publish a few pictures and movies just to try out the new Web Gallery (http://gallery.mac.com/rodkar#gallery). I think it is clever that I can drag an album that had already been published to Web Gallery using the Media folder of iWeb on the album page. However, the same cannot be performed on movies that I had published to Web Gallery. I could only use "insert .mac web gallery" from the menu bar to insert what turned out to be an embedding of a fixed size movie on the album page. While the photo album takes advantage the new skimming feature, the movies cannot make use of the new features. Or is there another way to publish that I haven't found out yet?
Namaste,
Roderick

Seeing as iTunes store video is m4v format I bet someone writing iTunes thought we'd better not allow anyone to add iTunes store material to an iPhoto library, so all .m4v files are locked out.
Just tested this and exported a short .m4v and as you say when you try to import the .m4v file is greyed out.
I think this'll work:
Under Share choose Export using Quicktime
I chose
Movie to Quicktime Movie then selected Options tab
Choose Quicktime to mov
Use an h264 codec with AAC.
I can certainly import that .mov to iPhoto - and create a web gallery - my uploading is very slow and everything is 'pending' at present but i thinks it's slowly going there!

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.

Thanks to everybody.

IWeb cannot see my .Mac Web Gallery

Hello All,
I have some albums in my .mac Web Gallery. When trying to do an insert->.Mac Web Gallery, iWeb says "no albums or movies available", even though I do have stuff published.
Any ideas why could this happen?
Thanks a lot

I found that I cannot insert "protected" galleries. Simply allowing "Everyone" access to the gallery, publising, then giving iWeb a chance to catch up -- poof -- it shows and I can add the .Mac gallery.
After the fact I have gone back in and "protected" the gallery with no ill effects. Other than not seeing it on the insert .Mac gallery menu item again.

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.
