Embedding the .mac Web Gallery in another page?

Hi all,
I love the way the .mac web gallery operates. It is a study in elegance and technology. However, it is NOT a good professional tool to show clients.
The fact that I cannot place my own navigation in the page, and that there is no graceful way to exit out of the gallery (other than to close the browser window) reduces its usefulness as a pro tool. My clients are confused the implementation.
So, I thought maybe I could embed the .mac web gallery in one of my own web pages. (this way I have all of the navigation to my site in place). Any thoughts about how I would accomplish such a thing?

.. I'm publishing the movie direct to the Web Gallery though iMovie '08.
ahh, I see.. no, I don't think so, that's possible from within iM08 .. I can not find a setting in its options.
in QTpro, there's an easy single-click solution for that, 'View/Set Poster frame', which adds a manual selected poster frame...
so, live with the preset, use iWeb or purchase QTpro seem to be your only options..

Title frame in the .Mac Web Gallery

Hi there... I have a movie which I've published to the Web Gallery in iMovie '08. The first couple of seconds of the video is a black screen as there's a music intro. My problem is that due to this black background the preview on the Web Gallery is blank - just a black frame (not very interesting). My question is; is there a way to select which frame is used as the title fame?

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.

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.

Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
published Web Gallery for that client.
Thx

Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

.mac web gallery and iPhoto '08 movies, which format?

Hi Folks, I ran into a problem over the weekend working on a movie project. As you might have read in the forums, there is no way to load up a movie to .mac web gallery with password protection. The suggested workaround by Apple is to import your movie into iPhoto '08 and then load it up into the .mac web gallery and apply the password protection offered by iPhoto.
But here comes the kicker, when I export movies out of iMovie '08 they have the .m4v extension, and iPhoto refuses them into it's library. So what kind of extensions of format should a export the movies to, for them to be imported into iPhoto. All help and support is welcome and appriciated!
Cheers, CC

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!

Feature Request – .mac web gallery support

Would be great, if you could upload your photos to the .mac web gallery and if my customers had the possibility to rate and select pictures there. Also subfolders (subevents) for the .mac gallery would be great!

You need to post that here:

How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?

There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .

.Mac web gallery: Blank page on iPhone

Hi,
I've used iPhoto '08 to publish several albums to my .Mac Web Gallery, and viewing them works fine using Safari on a Mac. However, when using iPhone with a URL like
http://gallery.mac.com/membername
I'm forwarded to gallery.mac.com/iphone/membername, and all I get there is a blank page.
I tried reloading several times and restarted my iPhone - makes no difference. It just seems like the iPhone version of my Web Gallery has not been created properly.
Does anyone have the same problem or know of a fix?
Thanks.
Tim

I was on the phone with Apple for almost an hour today discussing the problem. They said they would alert product development of the issue. Now, just a few hours later, my Web Gallery is suddenly working fine on the iPhone... if this has anything to do with my call, then that's what I call a speedy fix.

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

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.

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.

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?
