Galleries and 'losing' them

Hi
I posted a gallery and then told all my friends about it. Then I switched off my computer ... and I started to get all these messages saying people couldn't see anything any more. So I switched on the computer, and iPhoto and then they could see everything again.
From this I assume that Web Gallery only works when you have iPhoto and the computer itself running.
Is this correct? Seems a bit odd if it is.
Thanks

No
the web gallery is uploaded to the .Mac site and resides there and is available 24/7 without regard to your being on - or even existing
My best guess is that you shut down before the gallery was fully synced and that later it completed - before you shut down after posting a large web gallery take a look at the little sync ion just to the right of the web gallery in your iPhoto source pane and be sure that it is not spinning

    You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available.  You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

  • When I export my photos and save them as a jpeg.  Am I still losing information?

    When I export my photos and save them as a jpeg.  Am I still losing information?  Would I be better of saving them as a TIFF or a PSD?  Also I know DNG is a digital negative, would that be the better format to save all my stuff?

    I apologize if you already thoroughly know all this (I couldn't be sure):
    When you export, you don't change the original (i.e. you never overwrite the original). So, you can export a million times and never lose quality (of the original), regardless of the export formats you choose.
    Of course the quality of the export depends on the chosen format, and if the format is lossy (e.g. jpeg), then export quality also depends on the size & quality settings.
    TIFF is lossless, so quality is essentially equivalent to the raw in Lightroom. It's the preferred format if a really BIG file is OK. Jpeg was invented to reduce file-size as much as possible without being too much inferior, quality-wise - and it does that very well.
    DNG is good for some stuff, but don't export your photos in DNG format unless you know what you are doing and why... Lot's of people like converting their originals to DNG format, but that's a whole different kettle of fish...
    Note, it may very well make sense to export a jpeg as tiff, since exporting a jpeg as jpeg is not as good. - reminder: when you export, you are not overwriting the original, you are making a new copy from the original, by combining it with develop edits if there have been any.

  • How can i take my pictures from my photo album and put them onto my computer without losing anything?

    Ok so my computer crashed and i had to restore my computer to factory settings so i took all my pictures off my computer and put them on my phone well i fixed my computer so now i wanna put the pictures back on my computer is there a way i can do it without having to email each pictures to myself?

    The picture sync is ONE-WAY -  computer to iphone.  Iphone is not a storage device or a backup device.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put the pics back.
    When you sync pics from your computer to your iphone they are reduced in resolution.  They will never be of the original resolution, but you can e-mail them to yourself.

  • How can I remove songs from my itunes library without losing them...

    ... on my ipod. My hard drive is full and I was wondering if there was a way to only sync new music and delete old music from my library. Thanks.

    You simply have to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device.  I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages.  Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages?  If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

    You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup.  If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
    If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

  • How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

    How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

    You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
    HOWEVER.....
    Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
    Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
    it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

  • Moved all my files to my portable hard drive and put them back on my computer but all downloads - music and apps - aren't showing up on my computer

    I had a problem where I had to remove all of my picture, movie, and music files from my computer and now that I've put what I moved back onto my computer, I went to sync my iPod and realized that all of my previously downloaded apps and music files are not showing up in iTunes and I haven't been able to locate my apps anywhere. If I sync my iPod, will the files on my iPod transfer to iTunes or will I lose everything? I paid money for a lot of those apps and I don't want to risk losing them. Help please!!

    You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using a third-party program like one of thse discussed here:

  • I saved my aiff files to ext. storage.  Now how can I retrieve them and convert them to mp3 or wav files?

    I was trying to free up space on my internal storage, so when I created files in Garage Band, I thought it would be a great idea to store them in my external hard drive.  However, I now wanted to retrieve my files and burn them to a cd.  When I dragged and dropped them to iTunes, they showed up in my playlist, but when I tried to burn the playlist, I got a message telling me there were no files in the playlist.  Then I looked into putting them back into Garage Band and transferring from there to iTunes.  But do not know how to do this, or even if I can do this.  Do I have to always convert my aiff files to either wav or mpe files before I store them?  Is it a lost cause for me now?  Would really appreciate help on this.

    On the external drive, in the Finder, do a get Info on one of those & report size, where, etc.
    Also, if you double click on one, does iTunes play it?
    You could save some space without losing quality by converting them to Apple Lossless.

  • Web Galleries and overall image migration

    Hey all,
    I've got a question regarding the MobileMe web galleries. I'm pretty sure that you can create them in three places; Aperture, iPhoto and iWeb. So my question is kind of relating to two methods of creating and collaborating web galleries.
    Say that you've created a web gallery in iPhoto in a pinch but use Aperture primarily. Now you're on Aperture and want to continue to update that gallery. Is there a way to migrate that gallery from iPhoto to Aperture. Or, and this is my situation more specifically, say you're on vacation and create an Aperture based web gallery on your Macbook. Now you're back home and want to continue using and updating that web gallery but are now on the Mac Pro. Can that gallery be migrated from the Aperture database on the Macbook over to the database on the Mac Pro?
    To that point, how about image alterations and settings. I've captured some 1200 photos while on vacation, tooled around with them on my Macbook while away making color adjustments, adding vignettes and general improvements. Is there any way to then migrate those albums and/or settings over to the other database in the other system? Seems a shame to have to do all that leg work all over again. Perhaps it's just a matter of grabbing album folders from the database package and bringing them into the other database package?

    "Migrating" your photos, albums, adjustments, etc. is a piece of cake. Just export the project/s using file export project from your laptop and use file import project on your desktop. Move or share the .approj file from your laptop to desktop in the way you are most comfortable with.
    More info here:
    [Aperture on multiple computers|http://photo.rwboyer.com/2008/09/managing-aperture-2-on-multiple-comp uters>
    As for web galleries - can't answer that one with detail because I find them uselessly frustratingly unexplainably notoriously unreliable and I hate that you have no control over color profile for downloadable images. So I don't use them now after playing with them for a bit.

  • New iPhoto web galleries and iPhone

    I've made several web galleries via the new iPhoto and put them on my .mac site. When I go to view the gallery from my iPhone I never get past the login window. I type the password really carefully and it just gives me a new blank login window again. It works when I check the gallery from my desktop computer.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Web Galleries and new iWeb album pages

    The new version of iWeb allows for "album" pages that serve as a collection of all the photo and mvies pages that are in a site. This is pretty slick, and allows one to re-order the photo pages exactly like one can re-order photos on one of the photo pages.
    I am playing with web galleries, and notice that you can create a widget for a gallery for any iWeb page. When I do this on my album page, the widget shows up, but does not act like or interact with the other picture pages. It is simply a "widget" that sits on the page where it is placed. Has anyone figured out how to get a (link to a) gallery to act like one of the photo pages?
    -=[doug]=-

    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

  • Commenting pics and sharing them via Bridge

    What is the smalles package I can ask my clients to buy (not just one client but many in the years to come) for the follwoing task. They install Bridge on their Mac/PC, comment, label and select large collections of photos, they send them to me via DVD or to my server and are done with the Creative Suite. And I can continue in Bridge without losing the connotations, of course.
    Thank you

  • Can i delete photos from my comp once they are stored in time capsule without losing them?

    Can I delete my photos from my computer after i have backed up to time capsule without losing them?

    NO.. this is not how TM works.. once deleted from the Computer, it will be deleted eventually from the back.. when is unknown.
    See Q20 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Use an external drive to store the photos and include that in the TM backup.
    If you copy the files to a separate directory on the TC, that is different to using TM.
    But then you have no backup and the TC has no backup of itself.. indeed it cannot.. nor can TM backup a network drive.
    You never want to have only one store of your files. Especially things like photos which are irreplaceable.
