Disabled iWeb photo slideshows

I have created some photo collection websites with iWeb and they run fine as "slideshows" on my computer. However, the same slideshows won't work on my iPad. Does this have something to do with the incompatibilty of Flash on Apple mobile devices?? See what I mean at:

Past experience has taught me not to rely on media player assets on third party servers. Yahoo pulling the plug on the EasyListener player is a case in point.
As OT has pointed out, the slideshow works on other servers but, according to Cyclosaurus, some necessary assets are on the Apple server.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that Apple will make these assets available after the demise of MobileMe if enough people requested this?
The iWeb method of getting media onto websites leaves a lot to be desired and there are a lot of other ways to display music, movies and photos. The photo page is one of iWebs few triumphs but there are many alternative slideshows and banners.
Most of these methods require that assets are uploaded to, ideally, your own server but its not so difficult once you grasp the concept and the basics of FTP.
iWeb does provide two other methods of publishing apart from MobileMe. The built in FTP is just as quick, easy and convenient as publishing to MobileMe once you set it up.
Publishing to a local folder and uploading via an FTP app. allows you to add SEO tags and optimize the files for faster download.
A good FTP application makes the task of uploading media player assets very easy - drag and drop.

  • IWeb Photo Slideshow Help

    When adding photos to my .mac webpage using iWeb, I do not like the way you can click on each picture, causing it to open into another screen. I only want my pictures to be viewed as the thumbnails in the photo page and/or in a slideshow. Is there any way to deactivate the ability to click on photos to enlarge them? Or is there a way to only allow photos to be viewed through a slideshow??

    You can put a shape or text box over the thumbnails (do not cover the play slideshow button).
    For the shape, you need to set opacity to 1%, bring it all the way to front, that will disable thumbnails from being clicked.

    There are trillions of slideshows to be found on the internets.
    Download the one you like, make it work the way you want and put it on the server.
    Display it in the browser to see if it looks the way you want.

  • Aperture to iWeb photo caption mess - must see to believe.

    I am making an Album on my iWeb photo website, using Aperture. I requested to have the "Name" of each picture shown with each photo, below the photo. After publishing online, when I click the Slideshow, the "Name" of each picture does appear, but instead of a gray background beneath each "Name" (the way it looks in iWeb before publishing) the "Name" now appears in a weird repetition of the photo itself. I cannot describe this mess. You must see it to believe it.
    Please look at my website:
    http://www.bobfolsom.net
    Click on Albums, then click on the "Skies" album (the only one right now) and then try a Slideshow. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the nice gray background for the number captions instead of the colored repetition of the photo?
    Maria

    Unfortunately you can't have the nice textured background for your slideshow. You can however get rid of the reflection and change the color of the background to a similar gray color. On the inspector, click on the Photos tab and then select the Slideshow sub-tab. There you can disable the reflections (which drive me nuts on artistic photos) and change the background among a few other things.
    Good luck!

  • IWeb photo manager question

    Hi, when using iWeb and the photo-manager option in the inspector palate, I click on the slideshow tab but the palate presents itself greyed out, am I doing something wrong?
    How do I control the slideshows?

    You are in a photo page when you go to the Inspector/Photos/Slideshow pane right?

  • IWeb Photo Page download

    Are people able to download any photos from iWeb photo pages? During the slideshow feature it says 'download', does that mean visitors to my site can download my content?

    To illustrate the difference I duplicated a page that allows downloading and changed the copy to not allow downloading. You could still take a screen shot of any image on the web but the quality isn't high.
    Here are the two pages:
    Allows downloading:http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/proofs_available.html
    Doesn't allow downloading: http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/proofsavailable2.html

  • Single photo slideshow /changing image?

    Okay, so here's what I'm trying to figure out:
    On the welcome page of my website I have one large photograph. I'd like this photograph to change roughly every 3 seconds to a new photograph, and cycle through about 6 photographs in total. It's not exactly a slideshow that I'm after, more of a changing image. I also don't want any buttons or text around it, I just want my changing photograph...
    How do I do this?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Premiere Elements 4.0 shuts down 15 minutes into my photo slideshow

    I have created a photo slideshow in Premiere Elements 4.0. I'm using a Gateway Laptop - 2.00 GB, 32-Bit operating system. I checked available space on my C-hard drive and it shows: 43.6 GB of available space.
    At approximately 15 minutes and 44 seconds, the end of one of my songs starts to skip, and an error message pops up that says: Microsoft Windows: Adobe Premiere Elements has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    I checked the song where the issue occured. It plays fine in other applications. I checked the format of the photos - all are Jpeg. I even deleted all files from that 15 min 44 sec point in my project and it still hits something it doesn't like and shuts down with the error message. I defragged and performed a disc cleanup. I re-started the computer and tried it again - same issue.
    So I started over. I checked it every time I added something new. Photos worked; transitions worked, the theme worked..... and then I got to music. I added 3 tracks and at 15 min 44 sec, my issue started again. I thought that maybe I had run out of hard drive space (I've read several threads on here that suggest a laptop is not ideal for PE 4 - a CPU works best). But if that were true, shouldn't my project have worked when I deleted the songs from the project? I've tried everything and am a loss. I've contacted Tech Support and am still waiting for an answer. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    When I have program closed due to DEP I have always had a warning message saying that DEP is closing the program... and then given the option to disable it for the program.
    What format is your audio by the way... MP3 can sometimes make PE7 do funny things... best to convert to WAV. You could also try the Render and replace for your timeline (under Audio) this will do what it says, render your timeline and replace it with a WAV file.

  • Customizing iweb photo albums

    Hello, wanted to know if anyone has ever tried to customize the way an iweb photo album appears.
    What I want to do is to enable the name of a photo as a hyperlink to an internal page of the website. In that case an iweb photo album page could work as product's page and by clicking on the name of a product it could lead to a page with more details for each particular product. If anyone has ever done something like this, I would be much obliged.

    Thanx for the answer but if I do so I will then lose all the benefits of the album page, which is nice presentation, easy and fast page creation, slideshow and all other features that make photo albums interesting.
    It was not the navigation menu getting huge in my concern when I originally posted my question. With the photo album page there is a kind of zoom into details option that I want to keep. I am looking for a way to add more details for each photo than the name of the photo.

  • Photo Slideshow - to play on TV/DVD player.

    I've been trying to create a photo slideshow that I can play on the TV's DVD player.
    All I want is just for the photos to appear & me to then manually move them on as & when required. (as they do, if I burn them from the folder straight to the DVD)
    When I tried exporting straight from iPhoto to the DVD, the files grew quite spectacularly (am assuming they'd been decompressed to show on screen, then recompreseed to export, hence both losing quality & expanding size [my fault; I said I wanted them high quality ... cos I didn't think I wanted to compress them more!) Result was that I could do what I wanted (i.e. manually advance them), but due to size, nearly died of boredom waiting for them to open!
    So, I thought I'd try iDVD. They opened much quicker, though auto forwarded & also wanted to play music. (The latter could be got over by using the mute button - though from a size point of view, clearly better without it)
    I can't seem to find any handy hints that tell me how to disable the auto play; is there one particular theme that I need to try to use?
    Or, am I better going to my import folder & just dragging those I want to the DVD & doing it that way?? (I import them to the hard drive, before using iPhoto, so have them outside as well as inside iPhoto [am wanting to make sure that if I ever revert to a PC again, i won't have all my photos linked to iPhoto])

    All I want is just for the photos to appear & me to then manually move them on as & when required. (as they do, if I burn them from the folder straight to the DVD)
    One way of achieving that is to make each photo a separate chapter, but iDVD has a 99 chapter limit.
    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD, but they all have one thing in common: they reduce the quality of the photos to that of a movie still frame and sometimes limit the number of photos you can use.
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

  • Send to iWeb - Photo Resolution

    When I send photos to iWeb to make a Web Album, I've found that the software lower the photo's resolution to 800*600.
    What can I do to increase the resolution to something like 1600*1200 (at least it's bigger).
    Thanks alot!

    2. Create photo page in iWeb and just drag and drop converted photos from the desktop into the page.
    When you drag a full sized image file into an iWeb photo page it automatically gets resized down to an 800 pixel x 600 pixel x 72 dpi resolution that is a very good quality level and small file size. Unless you want a different pixel dimension, it's extra work to convert prior to using in an iWeb photo page.
    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.

  • Photo slideshow not working

    Hi,
    I've got a photo page which when I publish to a folder and click on a photo I get the brushed metal slideshow window with prev & next buttons, great. When I publish to .mac all I get when I click on a photo is the photo enlarged in it's own window, where has the prev/next interface gone?
    Interestingly if this site is published to another host the prev/next interface appears, but not on .mac
    Examples below, click photo.
    Published to .mac (No slideshow prev/next interface)
    http://web.mac.com/prudom.house/iWeb/PrudomHouse/Restaurant.html
    Published to another host (With slideshow prev/next interface)
    http://www.prudomhouse.com/PrudomHouse/Restaurant.html
    Am I missing something really obvious?
    TIA, Jules
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    iWeb Photo pages use a new-style slideshow when published to .Mac. This is accessed via the Start Slideshow button. As you've discovered, clicking on a thumbnail opens an enlarged version of the image in its own window. This is intended behaviour, and is among the differences listed in iWeb Help between publishing to a folder and publishing to .Mac. Search Help for 'slideshow' for a bit more info.

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

  • How to create a photo slideshow in my movie

    Hello all,
    Im woking on my first movie with Premier Elements 12 and I can not figure out how to include a slideshow of pictures at the end of my movie.
    Of course I can drag the photos on the timeline and use trancients in between but there is nothing I can do with the picture like editting/cut parts off, make them black/white and use movement effects for example.
    Isnt this an option/included in Premiere lements 12 ?
    I just bought the software but also played around with the trial of Cyberlink Powerdirector which has this handy magic function to select all pictures at once and create different/random trancirents and effects and pictures could be editted also.
    This is what Im after but I can not find how to do this stuff in Premiere lements 12.
    Hope someone can help me out.
    Thatnks in advance

    AlexSan
    Do you have Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12?
    What is this "movie" that the photo slideshow is going to be at the end of? A video? If so, what are the
    properties of that video...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
    What is your intended final product...DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
    With the above information, I will suggest some approaches that you might want to look into.
    Thanks.

  • How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

    I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
    Is it possible ?
    Seems not ... yet.

    You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.
