Events duplicating on web gallery!

G'day people
I've created a whole lot of events in iPhoto '08 and exported them to the my web gallery; so far so good.
Last night I added more photos to one of my events and, after iPhoto synchronised with web gallery, I see that I now how two events on web gallery with the same name. One of the web gallery events has the new photos!
Any idea how they can be merged in web gallery? They are all on one event in iPhoto. I didclick the little circle to get iPhoto to synchorise again but it made no difference.
Please help
Cheers
Al

Do you use MobileMe?
What would be helpful in the setup instructions for MobileMe but are not.
If you are syncing over the air with Mobile Me then DO NOT sync via the cable with Address Book (Outlook or Windows Contacts on PC). This causes duplicates. You are telling the iPhone to bring what is in those programs to the iPhone (one copy). Then you are syncing from the cloud (Mobile Me copy two).
The iPhone will do exactly as you tell it to do.
The easiest way to remove duplicates.
1. On the info tab in iTunes uncheck sync contact and sync calendars.
2. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>ME account>slide to off contacts and calendars.
3. Log into Me.com and look at contacts and calendars and make sure there are no duplicates.
4. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>ME account> slide to on contacts and calendars. When prompted choose to Replace with info from Me.com

IPhoto '08: Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Gallery & Slideshows ???

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08 and I am confused.
I must admit I used iPhoto before to look at my pictures but I never bothered with any albums or slideshows or whatever, but now with more and more pictures I need to organize.
So this new iPhoto comes with all sorts of way to organize such as Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Galleries & Slideshows. Quiet frankly I am LOST as to what to use when or for what ???
Okay I can get Web Galleries is for posting on the .mac as a gallery. Why did they do this again if you iWeb that creates photo pages???? Why is this not integrated in iWeb????
Now moving on. What's the difference between Events, (Smart Albums) and Slideshows. They seem to be ways to organize your photos. BUT why have THREE of them? When to use which one?
Any help or comment appreciated as I am confused ....

Events, Smart Albums, Albums and slideshows are different. Here is a short explanation of each:
Events= Every time you import photos from your camera or via drag & drop a new Event is created. This is the basic (automatic) way that iPhoto organizes your photos. Events are date based and can be split or merged based on your preferences. For example, you go to a birthday party and take a few photos, a few days later you go to a picnic and take a few photos. When you import the images, iPhoto will split the pictures into two distinct events. (Check The iPhoto Preferences/Events for some options).
Albums= These are containers that you create to easily group photos in any way you prefer (ex. Combine photos from a couple of holiday parties into one album). You can drag and drop photos in Albums. When you delete a photo in an Album it does not get deleted from the main library. Albums contain links to the photos, not the actual photos. You can manually re-order the photos in an Album. It is always a good idea to create an Album first, edit and re-order your photos there and then create a slideshow, book or web gallery from the Album.
Smart Albums= These are Albums you create that have specific rules, they automatically get updated every time a photo meets the specific set of rules. Smart Albums (SA) can have one or more rules. ex. You have 2 different cameras and you automatically want to see the photos captured by each camera. You create 2 Smart Albums that contain the Rule = Camera Model > is > Nikon D40 (or whatever). Next time you import photos from that camera, the SA will show these photos automatically. (Note: These are links, but if you delete an image, unless you delete it permanently it will re-appear in the SA, as long as it still has the required value of the SA. You can sort by Keyword, Ratings etc using Smart Albums, and you can have multiple sort rules, like Keyword = Birthday and Rating is 5 stars.
Slideshows= iPhoto has 2 types of slideshows available. The first is the "quick" slideshow. You can select any Album or Smart Album click on the Play button, set the transition select the music and you are ready to go. The 2nd type, the Cinematic Slideshow, are albums created specifically as Slideshows. They contain photos you selected and you want to see on your screen in a slideshow presentation. You can set specific transitions between slides, set individual slide times, select music and specify where the Ken Burns effect will start in a slide and where it will end. They are more elaborate than the Quick slideshows.
Web Galleries = are a quick way to share photos with friends, you just select the Photos and click on the Web Gallery button. You set some basic options and publish. Visitors get to see the photos in 3-4 different views including a slideshow, but you can also allow the viewers to add photos to your web gallery. Every time you add a new photo to a web gallery album in iPhoto, it will update the web site when you click the little publish icon next to the name. You can also set tan option to make this happen at specific intervals. (Check the iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery).
I hope this answered some of your questions. Good luck.

Relationship between Events, Album & Web Gallery

Hi, I'm new to iPhoto 08. Please bear with me if my question sounds stupid
What is the relationship between Events, Album and Web Gallery?
1. From Events, when I publish them to Web Gallery, does both environment auto sync with each other?
2. From Events, I create Album, then I publish to Web Gallery, do all 3 environments auto sync?
3. Why use Album when I can choose Option 1?
If I want to keep it simple and just want to put my photos to the web gallery, do I just use Option 1?
Thanks heaps.
Cheers,
Thomas

Nothing - except Smart Albums - auto updates. If you add pics to an Event or Album you'll need to then update the corresponding Web Galleries.
Albums are infinitely more useful than Events for organising your pics.
Events are simple, date-based folders. Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents). However, Events cannot be nested, for instance and are very inflexible. A pic cannot be in more than one Event without duplicating the actual file.
Albums can be nested inside folders, can be created by drag and drop, or any of the Smart Album criteria - including but not limited to Date, Keywords, Ratings, even camera model. Like Playlists in iTunes, Albums are virtual a pic can be in 1,10 or 100 albums with no wasted disk space.

Orientation of iPhotos photos in Web Gallery

Does anyone know why it is that when I upload pictures from my camera to iPhoto, create an event and album, rotate the pictures that are not upright, and then publish the event/album to Web Gallery that the pictures that I rotated in iPhoto are no longer upright in Web Gallery, but back in their original orientation as in the camera?
Many thanks!

Where are the photos I uploaded through web gallery?

G'day people
People have uploaded photos to my web galleries but they never appear in iPhoto and never make it into the web gallery either.
I just tried to upload a photo into an event on the web gallery. Everything looked fine and it appeared to accept the upload. However, the photo is not appearing in the event on the web gallery let alone iPhoto itself.
Any ideas?
Al

I had someone upload photos to my web gallery and they would show up when I used Safari to look at the gallery page. When looking at the gallery page in iPhoto only the original photos appeared and didn't include the ones my friend uploaded. The problem was finding out how to get them into iPhoto's library.
I found, somewhere in the "help", a statement that you had to start iPhoto, then highlight the web gallery album, then click on the publish/sync icon (just to the right of the gallery album). This synced
my source gallery page to the published page.
However, I did have a problem arise. My friend uploaded a couple of duplicates. I was able to delete one of the duped shots but cannot get rid of the other one. No matter what I do, each time I click on the "publish icon" the dup shot comes back!
One last thing, to get the new uploaded photos into iPhoto, you have to select them and add them to the appropriate Event, otherwise they exist only on the web gallery and do not reside permanently in iPhoto. At least I think this is how it is working!!!!

Web Gallery constantly duplicating photos...

I've made a fully open web gallery and have had 1 person so far contribute photos to the gallery. This person has sent 1 e-mail to the web gallery mail and the photos were published imediately. Around 60 photos in total.So far so good.
This morning I checked the gallery and had 250 photos... cool more uploads I thought. Wrong. The photos are duplicating themselves every few minutes!! My photos are fine, but the person who sent the e-mail with photos, the photos keep duplicating and triplicating etc.
I'm constantly erasing photos from the web gallery in order to keep the numbers down!! Tis is extremely anoying! Anybody else seeing this going on?

I'm having the same problem too. I had about 4 pictures in the gallery to start with, then my Dad sent over about 30 via an email and that's when the duplication started. My aunt also sent some over, but hers are not duplicating. I am deleting the dups by going into my idisk/web/sites/gallery/and then the gallery number and just deleting the folders there. I have done that once and now I have 55 pictures in there now but the web page says I have 83, although there are several links that are not displaying any pictures (yet another issue). I'm not sure if directly deleting the files will stop the duplication or not. My dad said he got a strange error back from his email server but just deleted it and can't remember what it said. I can tell you that the dups are happening when he is using his computer just by the dates of the files. He's been on vacation for a week and dups were added the day before he left, and now started back up yesterday and today since he's been back but nothing the week he was gone.

Web Gallery duplicating photos

I seem to have a consistent problem of photo duplicating themselves when I add new photos to a Web Gallery. The duplications don't show up on the actual Web gallery but are present within iPhoto, for example iPhoto says there are 96 images and the Web Gallery says 73. This problem only occurs when I add images to an existing Web Gallery and not when creating a new Web Gallery from selected images or albums. If you delete the 'dupe' all instances of the same image are deleted. Anyone else having this problem? any ideas to fix it?

My gallery/iphoto wish list is to have this solved and then to allow the gallery albums to have sub albums within them. Im talking 1600 thumbnail photos per student, 21 students!
This is a user forum and Apple does not monitor or respond here - to provide feedback/suggestions to Apple go to the iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
As to your duplication issue - I have no idea what you are asking
Yes my gallery looks right except I having trouble putting my lead photo on the album cover.
I think you want to change the key photo - to do this open the web gallery in iPhoto (click on it in the source pane - the left hand list) and find the photo you want as the key photo and drag it to the little thumbnail at the upper left of the window to the left of the gallery name

How to I get uploaded web gallery photos to auto populate with my events?

When somebody uploads a photo in my web gallery, it syncs with the web gallery on iPhoto. However, it doesn't sync with the original event on iPhoto. I know I can drag the uploaded photo into the event. However, I have many photos and don't know when somebody has uploaded a photo and to which event in web gallery.
Is there any way around this?
Al

Taking this a step further...
I identify the photos that someone else has uploaded to my web gallery.
I select and drag these photos to "Events" in iPhoto, and this creates a new event.
I drag the new event onto the old event to consolidate the photos.
I edit the photos I want to keep and delete the rest.
However, this changes / removes the photos uploaded by the other person in the web gallery. So, what procedure should I have followed to prevent changing / deleting the photos from this person? I would prefer to keep all of the photos in the same event. Will the following work:
1) Select only the photos that I want
2) Create duplicates of them in the web gallery
3) Drag the duplicates to "Events" and consolidate these with my original event
4) Edit the photos
Or, is there a better way?

Web gallery events deleted - twice.

After spending hours worth of upload time, i went to my web gallery to find all but one of my events were missing (all but the last one uploaded were deleted). I looked at iphoto, all the events were still there under the web gallery icon. I hit refresh on each one and they all went bye bye... This happened TWICE... applecare hadnt heard of this problem yet...

I've just started using the web gallery and one of my recipients mentioned this to me. Some filters will not pass on the email.
I ran a test by clicking the "tell a friend" at the bottom of the screen when I open the web gallery from iPhoto. Note that this is not the same as going to the web gallery page on your browser and clicking the "tell a friend".
When you click on tell a friend from the iPhoto gallery screen it pulls up your email "send new" screen where you put in your friends addresses, and shows your email address in the from line.
When you click on the tell a friend from the gallery page opened in a browser it generates an email with a from address of ".mac web gallery".

Others uploading to my web gallery

I was hoping someone here can help. I have set up a web gallery from imovie, where people can view my movies, but i was hoping that they could also upload to it and put their videos in. I thought this was possible, but for some reason, the upload button does not appear.
Have i got the wrong end of the stick, and its not actually possible, or am i missing something. If you can shed light on this, that would be great!

did you make yours in imovie or iphoto?
You may well be correct here. Test galleries were first duplicated in both applications for comparison purposes in earlier version, later deleted, and re-published by single application with "Upload" option selected to see what it would do. Last month the 2007 photos were archived to DVD and iMovie "events" were deleted (keeping Mini-DV tapes as archives) as part of my annual "Spring Cleaning" effort. All I really remember was being presented with the option to select the "Upload" option and using either a "Browser" and/or "E-Mail" application to allow relatives and "party goers" to add their own files but not one person elected to do so and I stopped including the option.

Web gallery still not working.

The web gallery feature is still non-functional. I used to use it all the time. Suddenly a few days ago I noticed that it simply does not work anymore. I highlight and event, click web gallery, it creates a web gallery in the left sidebar of iphoto. The little progress circle turns for about 15 seconds, then suddenly the web gallery from the sidebar disappears and it as if I never clicked on the web gallery button. All my old we galleries are gone. I tried deleting iphoto prefs and deleting to _gallery folder from my idisk. No luck. When I try publishing a movie in iMovie to the web gallery, everything seems to proceed correctly. It compresses and uploads. The when I click the link provided, I get Apple's version of error 404: no such website.

Ben:
See if you can upload a file, any type will do, to the Sites folder on your iDisk via the Finder. I had a similar problem. When I tried uploading a file to the Sites folder or any of its subfolders I would get an error message. I reported it to the iWeb and .Mac feedback sites. It went away for a while and then came back that same day and then went away. Apple did get back to me and checked my account. They reported all was well. If you do get an error you may have a similar to mine but one that's not correcting itself. Report you problems to:

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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. 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.

Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?

when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?

You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions.

Using a shared photo in Web Gallery

My wife and I share a computer and we each have a .Mac account. However, all of our pictures are in iPhoto under her login.
I would like to publish a Web Gallery using my .Mac account and photos shared from her iPhoto library.
However when I include a shared photo in the Web Gallery it imports it into my iPhoto Library, giving me two copies of the same photo, one in her iPhoto library and another in mine, thereby duplicating the photo which is not what I want.
Is there a way to use a shared Photo in Web Gallery and maintain the relationship to the original photo and not duplicate the picture?

Roger
No, because as far the the Mac is concerned, it's not yours to Share until it's in your Library.

A few Web Gallery Questions

1) I have an Event with 49 photos I'm trying to upload to the Web Gallery. It seems it will upload only one & then stop. I see nothing that says pending or indicates it's still uploading. I've tried a few times with the same results
2) The one picture it does upload, uploads at the same high res quality in the event. Is there a simple way to upload resized pictures like 800x600. Especially if I'm not concerned with viewers downloading for reprint

Do you mind posting up what your solution was? I'm curious.
