Easier way to rearrange photos in iWeb?

Hello
I am running 10.4.6 and iWeb 1.1.1 on a PowerBook 1.5Ghz with 1GB of RAM.
OK, when I click a bunch of photos in iPhoto and send them to an iWeb photo page, like everyone else, the photos are completely out of order when the iWeb page opens up. Fine. I start to manually rearrange them.
However - this is a VERY tedious process when you have 60+ photos, and they wind up in nearly reversed order. My process goes something like this:
Scroll to bottom of page. Select photo (left click). Drag (while left-clicking) photo up the page.
Here is where the tedium/problem comes in: I can only see 2 or 3 rows (of 2 each!) of photos at a time - and the page will not auto-scroll while I am clicking and dragging!!
So - I wind up dragging the photo up one or two whole rows. Release the mouse button. Use the scroll wheel to scroll down two rows. Repeat process until photo is in the top row.
Needless to say, this is very time-consuming and I'm going to develop arthritic fingers if I have to do this for 99 photos on each page. I seem to remember at one point (I can't remember if it was iWeb or Homepage - I think it was iWeb) that all I had to do was click and drag the photo to the extreme top of the window (or was it the screen?) and the page would auto-scroll. Then all I had to do was release the mouse button wherever I wanted the photo to go. iWeb doesn't do that any more (at least not that I can tell).
Is there an easier way to do this?
TIA
Richard

Hmm, ok, I haven't tried that. Thanks for the idea.
I just wish they hadn't turned off the "auto-scroll" type feature. Creating an album is an extra set of steps now - I like things as easy as possible (which is why I use a Mac...)

Is there an easy way to move photos from iPhone to computer? Seems like the file sharing available to some apps would make it easier than having to email photos to yourself.

How can I easily rearrange photos in iWeb?

I am trying to rearrange photos on my iWeb pages and seem to have no control over where they land when I drag and drop them. I have several pics on one page and cannot see them all on my screen (G4 17"). Is there a way to view them all so I can see where I'm dragging and dropping? Or do I have to arrange them all in iPhoto first?
Thank you.

You can use Wufoo as OT suggested, but you can also create your own form by writing you own html code into the html snippet in iWeb. You can also have whatever background colour you want and whatever text colour that you want by inserting the correct code.
Depending on where you are posting your site to determines what you would do and how you would set it up. If you are posting to an external server, then most have Formmail which you can enable to handle your form requirements. I have done this with my own site and hand coded both my forms and it routes via formmail to be e-mailed to me. With this method, you can set the fields to what you want and include exactly what you want. Formmail will then take you to a page that then tells the user what they have filled in and what has been e-mailed. You can configure this page in the form fields to get exactly what you want by way of title, text and background. If you don't like this, you can re-direct to a thank you page or another specific page on your own site.
If you publish to MobileMe however, it does not support Formmail, so you need to set the form to be e-mailed to you.
There are lots of possible options here, so just have a look and see what will work best for you.
I used Wufoo myself at one time - http://www.wufoo.com, but changed because I did not like the idea of a third party holding data and also, if their site goes down for whatever reason, you have lost your form completely, which is not the case if you hand code your own form and use Formmail.

Easy way to transfer photos from multiple computers to one library ?

Hi,
At home we have a couple of macs and of course every user has it's own iphoto library. I am now looking for a way to backup all those iPhoto libraries to a "main" computer in an easy way. This main computer is an iMac with multiple external drives attached. On this same iMac I already backup the iPhoto library to one of its external disks.
It would be nice if there was some kind of tool that could collect all (new or updated) photo's from the other macs, and put them in the main iPhoto library on the iMac.
Is there such kind of thing, or am I doomed to find out which photo's are new on each computer and manually copy them to the iMac ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto Library Manager will work with iPhoto 08. All libraries must be at the same version in order to be able to merge them.
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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Is there an easy way to remove photos from iPhoto in the organizer?

I had been using iPhoto, but quit when I started using Photoshop Elements. With version 9, it imported not only photos in my pictures but those in iPhoto. So I have hundreds of duplicates I need to remove from the organizer. Is there an easy way to find the ones from iPhoto so I can remove them?

OK, but is there a way to search/filter on a string in the location (i.e. iPhoto) so I could then easily know which are the duplicates I want to delete?
If there isn't, then it seems that I will have to delete the catalog and start from scratch again. I had originally thought I didn't include iPhoto in the folders to search, but apparently it was somehow included so I will have to be more granular in what folders to search if I recreate the catalog again.

Rearranging photos in iWeb

I am a newbie with iWeb. Setting up my Welcome page was fine. I could easily drag and resize all the photos I imported from iPhoto. On the next page, however, all the photos I have dragged to the page are trapped in a blue grid, and I cannot select them individually to work on them. I find it hard to believe that the "nature" of the first page would differ from the rest, but......
Many thanks in advance for whatever help is out there. pah

It sounds like all of the photos on your second page are selected (at once). Can you select outside of the photos? That way you may be able to one at a time. The other problem might be that you put your iPhotos into a non-photo area (I may not be describing this right). Try this - go to your first page (the one that works). Click on the " + " at the bottom left of the page. Select the photo template. Drag one picture at a time from iPhoto (use the "Media" tool in iWeb to get to your iPhoto) into one of the placeholder pictures. Hope this works...Jim

Is there an easier way to open photo files that were stored in my backup as Document Files besides changing the extension on each of the photos?

I did a backup on my mac of my phone. Then I got a new phone. I don't want to put all of my old photos on the new phone. So, I went to the backup to access the photos so that I could work with them in jpeg form on my computer. I have done this in the past with no problem. This time, when I go to access the photos they are all document files. I need them to be jpeg files. Is there a way to open then as jpegs without opening each individual file and updating the file extension? Also, why did this happen? I recall doing this with my prior iphone and the photos were jpegs and I didn't have to do anything.
Thanks!

Howdy,
This is a really good question about one of the bigger challenges of building a 3D project. When you add objects to the Canvas (including drawing), they get added in the camera's viewspace, facing the camera and sharing the same up-vector (i.e. positive Y is up). This is all well and good, but what about doing what you ask, where you want to add an object in the localspace of another object? Let's look at your example: adding a shape that is coplanar to a photo, with the camera not necessarily aligned with the photo.
As Mark suggested, you can draw the shape in the camera's viewspace and then drag-and-drop the Position and Rotation channels from the photo onto the shape. This will replace the shape's Position and Rotation values with that of the photo, making them coplanar and located in the same place. The shortcoming of this method is that you draw the shape at a size that seems correct in the Canvas, but once it's moved to the same place as the photo, it will often turn out to be too small or large. Then you have to make further tweaks.
Another solution is to use the Isolate command. Isolate temporarily aligns the current view to the selected object and solos that object. So you could isolate the photo and then draw the shape in the Canvas and it will be coplanar with the photo. The only caveat is that the moment you finish drawing the shape, it will disappear. This is because the photo is still isolated (and soloed). As soon as you de-isolate the photo, everything will reappear.
The easiest way to use Isolate for new photos—not ones already in the project—is to place the photo in a 3D group, position the group where you want the photo and shape to be, then isolate the group and add anything you want to it (shapes, image, text, etc).

Easy Way To Track Statistics in iWeb '08?

I'm just wondering who has the easiest way to track stats of an iWeb '08 page. Any help you may have to offer would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

Analytics and other solutions require that you change the html code after you published your webpage either to a folder or .Mac. That sounds more complicated than it is.
You could use for example this [Automator extension|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/addgoogleanalyticsact ion.html] to add your Analytics code to your webpage. If you update your website on a regular basis, it will ease your workflow.

Rearranging photo thumbnails in Organizer window

Is there a way to rearrange photo thumbnails manually in the Organizer? Most software enables a drag-and-drop function but apparently not here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Philip
In the full Organizer, the Views available (lower left corner) are Newest, Oldest, Folder and Import Batch. Within the full Organizer, I don't believe you can do as you wish.
If you make a collection, you can re-arrange the images within the collection by dragging and dropping. This is often used to re-arrange pictures for a specific project, making a slide show or web page say.
I guess in theory you could create a collection that included all your pictures and then drag and drop within that. Never tried this so you may run into some kind of file limit.

Why isn't there an easy way to add a photo to photoStream from the finder?

Apple makes it easy to share your photo with Twitter, FB, Flickr, etc. Why not Photo Stream? As far as I know, the only way to add a photo to photo stream is to open iPhoto and then add the photo to that. This seems to be a very poor way of quickly adding a photo.

If you have a suggestion make it here: Apple Feedback. This is the wrong venue.

HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer. Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer. Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported. If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

HT1386 simple and easy way to sync my contacts from iPhone 3gs to Macbook Pro that both my partner and I use. Have tried with photos and and only 350 of 3,500 items have synced. Remember simple and easy, I'm still learning-slowly.

Simple and EASY way to sync contacts from 3gs iPhone to MacBook Pro. Partner and I both use macBook. I have tried and get a message that only 350 of 3,500 item have syncd- all photos. I'm still learning and am very afraid of doing something that will wipe out all info,contacts and photos. Entering this site, the account shows my partners name, but accepts my other information.

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
Thanks.

Various ways:
Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
Then:
File -> New Smart Album
Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
will find the unwanted 150.
