Dragging photo albums into iWeb

Hi. I'm trying to drag an iPhoto album into a albums page on iWeb but its not working. I've done this in the past and its worked fine so i know what to do, but it's just not working!
Please help.

What system are you running and what version of iWeb and iPhoto?
Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once the library folder is visible you'll be able to find the two files mentioned above and delete them.

How to get MobileMe photo galleries into iWeb or from Aperture?

I currenlty use MobileMe for an iWeb published site, on which I have a link to a several dozen photo galleries, all pub;ished from Aperture. iPhoto has an iWeb "button", but Aperture does not so far as I can see. I am trying to find the easiest way to keep all of my stuff intact once MM dies next year. How can I migrate, not link, my MM photo galleries into iWeb, and/or publish them from Aperture into iWeb? Once I have the photo galleries as part of iWeb, then I'll be able to use it to publish to another web hosting service. Thanks!

Do you have the original image files used to make up those MMe Galleries? If so you can group them into albums in iPhoto and use the iWeb Album page or Photos page and ignore the MMe galleries.
If the files are in Aperture and there's no Aperture section in iWeb's Media Browser you will have to export those files out of Aperture as originals and drag them either into iPhoto or into an iWeb photos page. I don't use Aperture so an unsure of what can be done between Aperture and iWeb.
If those galleries are the only copy of the photos you have you'll need to download the file (if the gallery allows it) and import into iPhoto before going into iWeb.

Iphoto unexpectedly qyuits. This began after dragging photo's into iphoto from scanner

iphoto now unexpectedly quits. This began after dragging photo's into iphoto from scanner

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. .

Multiple photo albums in iWeb?

How can I create multiple photo albums in iWeb? When I simply pull albums from iPhoto to iWeb, the photos appear individually.

Updated to Firefox 3.6. My Photo Albums display properly on an iWeb site in Safari; they also previously did with the Firefox version I had updated from. However, the photo albums have disappeared now from my Photo Album page.

Apparently many people are having this problem but it isn't resolved for anyone. Is it Apple's problem or is it Firefoxe's -- and is this happening in IE too (we don't have IE here on our computers btw)
Since these are professionally-related photo albums it sure would be nice if this could be fixed pronto.

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error.

I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error. All was fine with my site until I added the photo album page. The software doesnt say what the error is exactly, only that it is a publishing error to my ftp
Exact message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."
If I reduce the albums inside to 1 then it seems to work but that takes away from the usefullness of multiple albums.
my iWeb version is 3.0.4 (601)

Publish your site to a folder on your hard drive to see if the publication will proceed successfully and open the site locally with your browser to confirm all of the alums are there and work. If they do try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If you're still not able to publish from iWeb to your server download and use the free Cyberduck to upload your website files to the server. Users have found that CD has been successful when iWeb had problems.

Adding photo albums to Iweb

I'm unsure of how to add a photo album to my Iweb. This is what I see. I'm on my About me page. On the right side mac already has 2 photo albums. I don't know how to add an album on there. I read some things in the other discussions about Idisk, but I see NOTHING in Idisk. Where does the photo album come from? Do I create one in Iphoto, save it to Idisk? But then after I save it how do I get it into the About me photo album?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please put step by step in SIMPLE terms! lol.
Thanks Amanda

Amanda:
The photo album comes from iPhoto. In iPhoto you can create a new album, name it and then add photos to it. Once that's done, go to iWeb, open the photo page layout and click on the Media button at the bottom. A new window will open with Audio, Photo and Movies sections. Click on the Photo and you'll seer the iPhoto library icon and any albums below it. Click on the album you want to add, select all the photos in it and drag them onto one of the photo place cards. That's it.

I want to create a new photo album in iweb

Help!! I have forgotten how to create a new photo album in my albums page and cannot locate where to find out how. I don't want to just slide an album from iphoto to iweb, but want to use several photos from several iphoto libraries. I know it's simple, but arrrgh !!

Albums are created in iPhoto and then dragged onto the albums page template in iWeb.
Either that or create a page using a Photos template. See this page about the problems with the slideshow...

Is it possible to incorporate old photo albums into a Web Gallery?

I created 9 photo albums with the first iteration of iWeb. Now I'm using iWeb '08 and have been consistently adding new photos to an existing Web Gallery via iPhoto. But I'd like to import or add those older albums into the Web Gallery.
Looking for answers...

Perhaps it would be better to just direct you to what I'm talking about.
Here is a URL to the site I maintain for our family photos and movies:
http://www.Derners.ws
Along the top you will see navigation links to Web Galleries, Photo Albums and Movies. The Web Galleries were created as a result of iWeb 2.0 and the overall inclusion of the Web Gallery feature with iLife '08.
The Photo Albums and Movies however, were created back in iWeb 1. These are still online as standalone pages. What my original question alludes to are these Photo Albums. I want to pull the content of the Photo Albums and incorporate it into my Web Galleries, thereby having all of it in one place. So when I complete this process a visitor who browses Derners.ws will go directly to the Web Galleries. No more "Photo Albums", no more "Movies". Just one stop for viewing everything.
Does that make sense?

The removed photo albums in iWeb are not removed from my website.

I have removed a few photo albums from my web site in iWeb and added none. When uploading the changes to my website it still shows all the albums only the links of the removed albums are not valid any more.
How can I get the albums completely removed from my site via iWeb?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are hosting your site on a MobileMe account, correct?
Try publishing the entire site with the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu. If that doesn't clear out the old stuff from your web site try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and and try again.
Still if not cleared out publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open the local copy with your browser to see if that shows the changes to the site.

Placing Web Photo Album into Dreamweaver Template?

I have a templated through the Dreamweaver program that I am
using to create a site. The first page is great. I saved the index
page as a newly named page to copy it to make my next page. I then
want to replace a section of that page with a web photo album
created in Dreamweaver/Fireworks. How do I embed that file into my
2nd template page. It says to copy html into the page (did that)
and the photos and files are not refreshing on the server to show
them and the template codes properly as they are on my index page).
any help please would be great.

Do you have a URL to look at?

Disappearing Photo Albums in iWeb

I've seen so many posts on this topic here and elsewhere, but it never seems to be resolved. I had just added a new album to an iWeb created site this morning and though it was working correctly before this, now all of my albums are not showing up in every browser that I use, FF3, Safari and Chrome. I had had this problem with just the newest 1 out of 3 albums not showing up in just FF (showed up in other browsers...) a month back and then all of a sudden, it appeared and I was fine until today. ANY help would be appreciated. I really want this site up and running and iWeb, while easy to use, is quickly falling in my esteem for its reliability.

Lost photo album on iWeb

On my .Mac homepage I have two photo albums. The first, at http://homepage.mac.com/jnelms/PhotoAlbum2.html, I can locate and edit. The other, at http//web.mac.com/jnelms/iWeb/Site/HAG.html, I cannot locate, nor edit. If you have any suggestion where it is hiding, I would appreciate hearing from you.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2 Mghz Intel, 2 GB RAM, 120GB HD

Thank you for the information, James. I did find the files in the location you mentioned; however, there does not appear to be any way to edit the captions under the pictures, as I need to do. There are two files for each picture, one labeled (for example) "DSCN0064.jpg" and another "DSCN0064_framed.png." The only place captions are shown is in the file "slideshow.html," which does show the entire slideshow, but does not permit editing. Any suggestions?

Download Photo Albums on iWeb?

The photos we have on our iWeb are able to be downloaded individually by people. I would like to be able to have the photo albums be downloaded as well, so that people do not have to download each photo individually.
Is this possible and, if so, how do I make that happen?
Thanks.

You can make up your album in a DTP application and export it as a PDF or use the freeware PDF Lab...
http://www.iconus.ch/fabien/products/pleng/pleng.html
Create a link to it on your iWeb page using "Link to: A file".
When visitors click this link the PDF will be downloaded to their desktop.

Publish iBook (photo album) to iWeb

Hi everyone I am a new MAC user and I thought the other day I read something about being able to use iPhoto to make a photo album and then publish it to your iWeb site.
I have a .mac account and I have already made a photo album and I would like to know the steps to publish it to a website I have made through iWeb.
Can someone help me with this?

Can you drag photos/elements into PSE 9.0 on Mac

hello, I just switched to a Mac and am using PSE 9.0. Can you drag photos or elements into the project bin? I can't seem to figure it out and it's frustrating me, I could just open my files in my computer on my PC and drag what I wanted in. How do you do this on a Mac or do I have to open each one separately? thanks!! I'm a digi scrapper and it's driving me nuts!!

You can drag one photo into the workspace (not the project bin) if there's not another photo open, but for some reason in PSE 9 it stops working with additional photos. This is a PSE 9 bug, though, not the usual behavior of previous mac versions.
