Iphoto 6 and web gallery question

I'm a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds stupid. I have iphoto 6 and have successfully made photo pages, but I can't figure out how to start a web gallery. (I want other people to be able to upload their photos.) I've tried looking at tutorials & stuff but they all have to do with iphoto '08. Am I just blind? I haven't subscribed yet to .mac, I'm still in the trial, does that make a difference? I'd appreciate any help,

I was referring to the customer reviews of ilife '08 on the Apple website. You're right though, most of the negativity was regarding iMovie 7, and the majority of the iPhoto complaints were about their current published photo pages being "all messed up". That doesn't bother me so much because I want to start over with a new web gallery anyway. Also, a guy I talked to said that he was having trouble with iPhoto 7 and his photoshop work. (Like I said, I'm new to this, so my feeble brain lost the exact terminology he used.) I think I will trust what you say though and go ahead and buy it just because it looks so **** pretty. Thank you for your help!

Scheduling of Iphoto and Web Gallery Uploads

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is an app or built in functionality in iPhoto that allows one to schedule when photos can be uploaded to the MobileMe web gallery? I don't want to do this whilst I'm working on my PC and will rather tell it what to upload and then schedule the upload for later the evening when I don't use my Mac ...
Any ideas .. ?
Thank you,
E

There is not - you can suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
For now just do your gallery changes last thing before you quit for the evening

IPhone problem with iPhoto 08 and Web Gallery 08

I have created web photo galleries in iPhoto 08. Then I have opened iWeb08 and created a page an added a web gallery widget for each of the galleries on this page, everything works fine. Now I fire up the iPhone and go to my iWeb page where the widgets are located.
The problem is the web gallery widget appears on the iPhone screen as a blue cube with a question mark on two sides and some round grey circles on top. I can not access the galleries from iPhone. Are these cubes a representation for some program that the iPhone can't open? Any help is appreciated.

I'd post your question in the iPhone forum because it seems to be an iPhone issue rather than an iPhoto one.
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 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.

Slide Shows in iLife, iPhoto, iWeb '08 and Web Gallery

I have iLife '08 abd thus iWeb '08 and developed my website in 2006 using iWeb '06. I also belong to .Mac and therefore have access to that Web Gallery or .Mac Gallery (unsure which name it has). I like the newer slide shows/carousels that are newly available and would like to know whether I can make such slide shows and place such slide shows in my iWeb website.
I realize that another alternative is to make a slide show and put it in the Web Gallery and access it in my website via a URL pointing to the slidehow.
Is it true that ALL OF THE VARIATIONS OF SLIDE SHOWS are created in iPhoto '08? If so, then I guess if I make the slideshows there, I can decide where I want to place them (in my website or in Web Gallery).

Go to web gallery, find out the album ID that you need to delete.
iDisk -> Web -> Sites -> _gallery
Delete the album ID of the albums that arn't in iphoto.
Then resync the albums missing.

IPhoto 08 and Web Gallery are out of sync.

I used iphoto to upload 3 events to web gallery last night, and left it go over night. I selected the first event, and clicked on web gallery and it started to upload. I then clicked on another one while the first was uploading and did the same. Both events were listed in web gallery, one was syncing in progress, the other just had a spinning sync icon. I then added a 3rd event to the list to sync, which appeared under web gallery as expected, so I went to bed.
I woke up this morning and iPhoto exited. I checked my web gallery and found the 1st web gallery I synced was fine. The 2nd gallery existed, but contained both the 2nd and 3rd events. I then loaded iPhoto and it has no entry for the 2nd album in web galleries. So now I have an album on gallery.mac.com that I cannot control from iPhoto (including deleting).
Anyone have any ideas on what to do? I submitted a feedback form for iphoto, but it says don't hold my breath on a response. So I'm hoping someone here can help me.
There are 61 photos in the album I cannot control.
Regards
Simon

IWeb and Web Gallery

what is the difference between iWeb and WebGallery in iphoto. I am getting ready to revamp my old mac website and don't want to mess it all up.
Can I use them both together???

iWeb is an application for building websites.
A web gallery published from iPhoto is purely for publishing photos.
You can link to a web gallery from your iWeb built website or use the web gallery widget in iWeb to do this.

IPhoto 08 Web Gallery Auto-resize?

I am using iPhoto 08 to create a Web Gallery but have very large photo files. Does iPhoto upload at the original file size or does it automatically scale down to sizes more appropriate for web viewing?
I want to ensure people can download photos from my gallery for printing but my original 12 megapixel photos would normally be overkill for most and I don't want ridiculous upload times.
Must I re-size prior to uploading?

King D:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto automatically resizes the photos for the slideshow to 800 x 600 pixels. If you select to have them download the files will resized to a maximum pixel dimension of 3055 x 2033 and receive some jpg compression to bring the size down to a more manageable size.
I had a file that was 4064 x 2704 and 4.5 MB in size reduce to the dimensions above and 560KBs. For some reason the 3055x2033 size is the largest that can be uploaded without being resized down to those dimensions.
Publish one of the files to a gallery and see what size it is reduced to.

Web Gallery Questions

Sometimes, when I add photos to my Web Gallery, they remain in perpetual pending mode and never actually show up on the Web gallery, even though they are in my iPhoto Web Gallery Album. I can't seem to solve this unless the only answer is to delete and reload the entire web gallery??? I have deleted the pending photos and reloaded them but they stay in pending mode forever and never show up on the actual web gallery.
How do I, as the owner of my gallery, access photos other users have uploaded and edit them, such as editing the title? I do not see these new photos in my web gallery album in iphoto despite them showing up when I go to the gallery via the browser.
Can you upload, as a visitor to some else's web gallery from your own iPhoto or do you have to drag the photo out to the desktop so you can access it from the upload dialog. The upload dialog does not seem to have a photo browser, just as normal open dialog.

Mark:
I don't have an answer to your problem but do want to warn you against subscribing to your gallery to get those added photos. If you do you'll be in danger of replacing your full sized original files with the 800 x 600 files that the gallery uses.

Web gallery question

OK, in LR1.x, if you select a series of images in Library and then jump to the Web gallery, it creates a gallery that includes only those images you have selected, not the entire library.
When I do this in LR 2, (Mac), it insists on making a gallery with all the images in the library.
What has changed? Is something broken? Or just a new way to do it?
DN

It's the template that is used to create the default Lightroom HTML Gallery. Actually there are three files that cause the problem, head.html, detail.html and grid.html - That's in LR 1.x - I've only looked at the LR2 head.html, and it has new problems.
Most of the old bugs are still there - all they did in LR2 was to change the document type declaration, and that fell foul of the XHTML tags that they left in the code.
See my earlier post at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3c06417d/9
To see the problems (not major, but they shouldn't be there) try a w3c validation of http://www.dcnicholls.com/haleakala/index.html (LR1.4, corrected templates) and http://www.dcnicholls.com/cambra/index.html (LR2, uncorrected Adobe templates) the first validates as XHTML Transitional, the second fails as HTML 4.01 Transitional.
Validation service at http://validator.w3.org/
I'll add to this post when I've edited the offending files, with details on what to fix (or the zipped corrected files, more likely).

How to break link between iWeb and web gallery?

I have created an external webpage with the use of iWeb, and I have inserted the photos widget through the web gallery which sits on my personal .Mac account (ie. different to the external website which has an independent - no mac - .com address)
I would like people to view the picture widget on the external website (a business website) I have created, but I do not want them to click on it and then be directed to my home web gallery. Basically I just want them to be able to see the rolling pictures, but nothing more.
Does anyone know how to avoid this link from working?

Hi Kodi,
As far as I know, the object link to material is part of SAP standard customer delivery. Then there is really small customer settings you have to maitain, actually the fields Destination and Web server, as the SAP never knows the name of the system, which customer will use.
Or you talk about others than the 0PLANTMATERIAL, 0PLANTMAT_LONG. If you create new object link type, the install guide 'Collaboration Projects (cProjects): Guide Impl. Object Link ' in the https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/plm-inst should give you detailded information.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Web Gallery Question - Any Metadata Control

The new Web Gallery feature is very useful. I would like to know if there is a way to determine which metadata fields that get uploaded to the gallery. In our case, it would be nice to able to upload "Caption" information.

It is not automatic - you need to add them to both the album and the web gallery at the same time
Select the photos and drag them to each location (Album first since it starts an update when you drag them to the web gallery)

Web gallery questions for 3.0

I can't figure out how to upload a gallery to my web site. I hit the upload button, I have my password and username in there. I'm not sure, but I think to get it to the right place on my gallery, I have to do the custom settings, and put it in a sub folder.
Prior to this, I've been putting my galleries up on my site with Dreamweaver CS, where I have a page called "My Pictures". People can scroll through there, find their event, click on it, and see the photos. For me to achieve that, I put the gallery into a web on my computer, in a folder called "galleries". Then I would use Dreamweaver CS with the "My Pictures.htm" page, to post the event name, then drag the target to the proper gallery,
So it only stood to reason, that within Lightroom, I would put my web site's address, without the www. in front of it, as I would in Dreamweaver, followed by /www/folder.
No matter what I do, or variation I've tried, even without all that, and trying to load the gallery to simply my web site, it keeps coming up with "An error occured sending the file. Access was denied". I know the web has plenty of space available, so that's not the problem. Any suggestions? I'm using the proper name and password.
The 2nd problem, is that I can't even save the gallery, to the folder on my computer! This is a back up, in case I can't upload the gallery via Lightroom. I tried to use "export", the tab next to "upload", and it won't do a thing. I aim it to the right folder and hit save, but nothing happens. If I go to the drop down list under "File" on the top left of the screen and hit export, it will simply save the photos to my web in full 8x10 images, but it won't save it as a functional web gallery, with web sized photos and thumbnails. Only as photos, that's it. If I can save it to the web on my computer, as a web gallery, then I can upload it using Dreamweaver CS.
What is going on???? Why won't anything work???

Anthony, I was excited to see this simple answer. But I cannot find the icon with the "T" in it to which you refer. I have a web gallery published. I would love to show caption and keywords. But I can't seem to do that. And on the gallery page, once you click on an image, and then Info, then you get to see the caption along with all the iptc info which I don't need to show.
Just above my viewer window in aperture are only the standard icons like inspector, import, new, email, view, full screen, etc. I can see the web gallery settings but there doesn't seem to be this kind of control in there.

IPhoto and Web programs

I have several iPhoto libraries on an external hard drive, and manage them with iPhoto Library Manager. The problem is within my main iPhoto Library, where most of my images are stored. On the sidebar, under Web, there is someone else's name for Mobile Me, Flicker, and Facebook. If I click on any of them it asks for the other person's password, which I don't have. I don't even know this other person. My other libraries have my correct info. How can I get this one library to go back to show my information?

That just happened to me this last week on one of my test libraries. Wierdest thing I've ever seen. My solution was to go into Time Maching and restore the library from a date I considered the library good. If you can't do that then try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a viable backup copy) of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Faces / Places and Mobileme Gallery question

Hi all, i could not find much on this but my question is when using faces / places and Mobileme gallery does this actually take up hard drive space ? With faces and places does that actaully create another image or is it just linked to your main library ? And for Mobileme Gallary does that actually download the images to your Mac ?
Thanks

Drop them on the desktop then upload directly from the MoMe Album.
