Empty Web Galleries

OK, this is driving me crazy and I'm not sure why it's not working like it's supposed to.
I recently upgraded to iPhoto 7.0.1, and recently signed up for .mac, mainly because I wanted the Web Galleries. So ... I'm in my iPhoto library, I click on the event, and then I click on Web Gallery. So far, so good. I get a new album under web gallery, it says it's uploaded thumbnails, and after a short period of time, it says it's Finished updating, puts the little broadcast symbol next to the web gallery, and gives me a link to click on under the gallery title.
Except - when I click on the link, it's empty.
All the pictures are marked pending. And nothing has uploaded to my iDisk, except a bunch of folders for the file names and that's all. No thumbnails, no rendered photographs. Nothing. Shouldn't I at least see the thumbnails?
Even manually updating the web gallery does nothing.
Am I missing something here?

I have same issue, lots of bugs with iLife 08

Hi. I am trying to use Bridge to make web galleries. There used to be something on PS for that but now I cant find it in PS so I was advised to use Bridge. However, there is something called Output Module (AOM) that is missing from my Bridge. I downloaded this. The instructions say :Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder in the appropriate location:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CC Extensions
Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions. However there is noplace on my Macbook Air running Yosemetie that has this /Library/Applications SUpport/Bridge CC Extensions. Can anyone advise?

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Frustrated with web galleries

I think I'm about ready to install Gallery on my website and forget about LR's web galleries. I want such simple changes to the defaults, but it seems to be impossible.
I want HTML galleries, not flash. The HTML galleries have the "title" on top and the "description" below the pictures. I thought I could live with this, but I use this as a title and more info. My own eyes were hopping back and forth from top to bottom. That is just unacceptable. The flash galleries, however, have the two together, not separated by the picture.
Forgetting about LR's galleries would also allow me not to have my various metadata fields all mushed together. LR allows you to select multiple items to put into the "description", but no way to format them. Yes, I can put commas, but there are often empty fields, and then it's a mess.
I don't like the font sizes either, but I can fix that by changing one .css file after creating the gallery.
I tried to take the xslt and and xml files extracted from the module, but more files are needed and I don't know which or exactly how to configure them. Even more frustrating because I have found the lines that need to be moved/modified.
I've found descriptions for starting from scratch and other people's flash galleries, but not how to twiddle with the existing galleries. Such small changes I want to do!

Me too. I'm taking a different approach to things, though. Rather than
creating a gallery that produces lots and lots of identical pages, each
containing different images and indexes and so on, I'm working on a gallery
that doesn't produce any HTML at all (or, rather, produces very basic HTML
so I can see the images in the Web Gallery Preview). Instead, I just let it
produces the XML file describing the images and (of course) the image files
themselves (in three sizes: thumbnail, display, and full). I've written a
JSP-based application that can read the XML file and produce the appropriate
pages (that is, I'm treating the XML and image files as a database).
The benefit of this is that if I want to change how my site looks or
behaves, I simply change the JSP and *all* of my galleries change
instantly - I don't have to go back and regenerate them. This also frees me
up to use any technology I want to for the display (right now it's HTML,
since I despise Flash, but if a new tech comes along, I can easily adopt
it).
The downside is that I can only put my site on a JSP-capable server. Most
people don't have access to those (because most ISP's only provide straight
HTML and maybe a few canned scripts), but anyone who can put JSP on their
site could probably use this. In fact, I imagine a similar system could be
written in PHP (perhaps that's what Gallery is - I've only glanced at it),
ASP/.NET, CGI, or any other server-side language.
If anyone is interested in learning more about this, I'd be glad to
open-source it when it's ready (or share ahead of time if you're willing to
take an unfinished project). I don't get to the forums as much as I'd like,
so email me: my first name AT my last name with an "s" on the end DOT com

No longer option to select iPhoto web galleries to sync to iPhone

Why isn't the web galleries in iPhoto showing up under the Photos tab in iTunes anymore to sync to my iPhone? Only the main albums show for syncing. I always synced the web gallery albums too. This is annoying arghhh
~.

Follow Up:
This worked for me:
"iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications"
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1192
It became more and more obvious that the problem was with iPhoto and none of the other programs. This is because I noticed I no longer had access to my iPhoto albums when selecting my desktop background. As a test, I opened iMove and noticed they didn't show up there either.
I followed the Apple support thread above, deleting the plist file, and then the xml file.
The note it mentions here is what happened to me:
"Some photos you import may have keywords already embedded within their EXIF data. iPhoto will attempt to add these keywords to your keyword list when you import the photo. However, if the keyword contains an unusual character, or is corrupted in some way, this may cause the XML file discussed above to become unreadable. In turn, this will make the iPhoto list come up as empty or blank in other applications. Renaming the keywords will help you to isolate which keyword or photo might be introducing this issue."
There was one corrupt file that created multiple keywords of the same name. I deleted the corrupt keywords through iPhoto:Preferences:Keywords. I also deleted the foul file.
Follow these instructions if you're noticing iPhoto albums not showing up in iTunes, as well as the other iLife apps.
Cheers.

Web Galleries in Bridge & CS4

It appears the templates for Web Galleries in Bridge are different from those in Photoshop CS4. This seems odd, comments welcome.
Is there a way to Save a Custom Web Template in either Bridge or Photoshop? If one creates a Custom Template (in Bridge) with Custom Colors, etc., that same Template will appear if you later create a new Web Gallery. But once you change the Template you lose the custom colors. Is there a way around this, i.e. save the custom colors? Thanks.

Bridge Help | Create web galleries and PDFs with Adobe Output Module

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/using/create-web-galleries-pdfs-adobe.html

Plug-ins that failed to load:
It seems to me that something is wrong with your install. Maybe you did clone a former mac to install on this one? or copies old stuff to the new one. Don't know, it seems easy and quick but I prefer always a new install using a new computer or switching to a new system upgrade.
Lightning effects shows to be 32 bit while I think to know that Photoshop CS5 and CS5.5 are both 64 bit, however Bridge was turned to 64 bit in the CS6 version but that should not mater for you to use both applications from the same install disk (or download?)
And variations is something I tried to find in CS6 but can't find it there. I had long forgotten this feature that presented different previews and you could switch to color corrections and brightness (not sure) while looking at the result in the previews.
So I think you have some old material residing on your system. I would advice you to back up all custom settings (actions, tools, workspaces etc. and keywords in Bridge) Then do a search for the Adobe Cleaner tool :
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html?promoid=GYTAU
(don't know this links work for you but you can find it easy with google).
Read the instructions carefully and follow this using the official uninstaller that came with PS (see application folder). Also be sure to have your serial number and AdobeID present and while an activation of PS is for the computer maybe for security first deactivate before uninstall.

Making Bridge web galleries searchable

I'm sure this will have been asked before on the forum, but after scrolling thought the first four pages of topics I can't see it raised anywhere.
Is there an easy way of adding a search engine that will interrogate a file's metadata when creating a web gallery in Bridge?
The company I work for is looking to set up a gallery of 2,000 graphics to begin with, which will probably grow to 10,000 graphics before too long.
Bridge is great because it converts Illustrator vector files to jpegs (the organisation is Microsoft Office-based, and most staff cannot read vector files). But obviously the resulting gallery has to be searchable. It seems odd that Adobe hasn't included this option as standard when creating web galleries.
I'm a graphic designer by trade, and although I can do a little bit of coding I'm certainly no expert in that area. So I do need a simple solution.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice offered and sorry if I'm bringing up an old chestnut again.

It sounds like your html files are assigned to fireworks instead of safari. Open your file browser (windows explorer or mac equivelent) find an html file and look at it properties. In windows this is where you can change the app that is the default. I am not sure how on a MAC, but hopefully it will jog your memory or someone else will answer.

Video about Web Galleries on TV

Perhaps some of you have already seen this, but Apple recently put up a new video about .Mac Web Galleries on TV. Click on this image:
...and then look for this:
...once it has downloaded, you may have to click the Play button or the above button again to actually view the video.
Assuming Apple's server speeds are up to the job, this effectively means personal worldwide digital TV broadcasting without the hassles of a podcast feed.

LR Web Galleries, need help

I use LR's web galleries for my clients to view their proofs on line, I am on a Mac and my clients who are on a PC see white specs in the very black areas of the photos, I tested this out and it is only when viewed on a PC that this appears, not on Mac's. Are you familiar with this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

Can you establish a sample gallery to show the problem and post a link to it here?

Web Galleries on Photo pages?

I think I already know the answer is no, but... I much prefer the .Mac Web Gallery and it's options to the older photos page you create from iPhoto. I have converted a couple of albums to Web Galleries.
My questions is regarding putting those on a Photos page. I only seem to be able to put a Web Gallery on a blank page. Dropping it onto one of the default album spaces that pop up on a Photos page (where you drag in from iPhoto), of course, does nothing. My main reason is that I would like to consolidate Web Galleries on an Albums page - I really like the look of the albums themselves and it's a nice gateway. I have been able to make a rectangle, change it to a picture frame, resize it and use that, but it's not the organization I prefer, and, again, I'd like to have the gateway in those nice albums. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

CS4 Bridge and Web Galleries

This is probably nit-picking, but I liked a web gallery which I have been using on a site which has about 13 galleries on it. The choices for web galleries in CS4 are OK, but when I checked the file size on a web gallery in CS4 with an identical one I did with CS3, the size was about 5 times as large.
Since I have upgraded to CS4, the old CS3 Bridge isn't available (to my knowledge) and I had to move all the photos from Bridge in CS4 to a folder so I could access the web gallery from CS3.
Tell me if there is an easier way to use the old web gallery directly from CS4 or a way to access the old Bridge from CS3?

Hi all It is still possible to create webgalleries and contactsheets in CS4, but you have to copy some files and folders from a folder called Goodies which you can find on you install disk or download as extras from Adobe.com. In the "...Goodies\Optional plug-ins" folder there is a OptionalPluginsReadMe.pdf where they among other things write: "1. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Optional plug- Ins/Automate/WebContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Plugins/ Automate folder 2. From the Photoshop CS4 install disc, drop the //<language>/Goodies/Presets/Web Photo Gallery folder into the //Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets folder and then restart Photoshop."

Is it possible to transfer custom web galleries from CS3 to CS5?

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my custom web galleries from PS CS3 to Adobe Bridge CS5?

Collections are not a physical directory. It is kind of like a spreadsheet that tells Bridge where to find the pictures and display them, so you can't just move the folder.
Smart collections are a little easier to transfer, but do not think CS3 had those.
Not an expert here but believe you would first have to have the same computer and HD so that all the picture loacations are the same.
Then go to User/App Data/Roaming/Adobe/Bridge/Collections and copy file from CS3 and insert into same spot for CS5.
Maybe someone that have done this will jump in and prove me wrong.

How can I use bridge to create web galleries with more than 10 images?

I am new to building web galleris for my website. When i try to load more than 10 images in a gallery , Bridge cuts off all images beyond 10. I am confident that I can do this if i can find the right settings

I am not at my PS computer right now, but I think the Preview only shows 10 images (for speed) but they will all be there in the final output.

Making large html web galleries (400-1400 images)

Please post a link to methods on how to do this if I have missed an earlier answer.
I have been building large html web galleries to provide to clients on disks along with the original images. When I do this for galleries of around 400 to 1400 images and up, the web gallery is made but there can be images that are missed and listed as 'not in the library' even though they are present and intact.
I have found a clumsy workaround. After choosing the group of images in the library and selecting the web template in the web module, I open each thumbnail index page and let the thumbnails load and then move to the next index page and let it load, etc. After finishing all the index pages I export the web page. Often I still get error messages but in fact all the images are loaded into the web page and it can be opened with a browser with no problems or missing images.
This is a time consuming method to accomplish something that should be easily automated and automatic. It seems that LR gets ahead of itself in making a page before it has actually loaded the image file...therefore an image is missed.
Has anyone found a better way to do this for large groups of images or do we have to wait for an update to correct this glitch.
Thanks in advance.

Try setting off the gallery export overnight and really leaving it time to finish. I suspect the progress bar isn't totally accurate and things happen before and after it has apparently completed. See if this works.
