IPhoto and iWeb Question

If you create an album in iPhoto and you decide to also publish it as a MobileMe Gallery you will see both in the left hand sidebar in iPhoto - the regular album and the published album - all is well.
You are able to drop EITHER of these into an iWeb photopage. Here is teh question:
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using one of these albums as "the iweb one"?
I ask as I dropped a gallery which is posted on MobileMe and then WITHIN iWeb I started to delete some of the pictures within that album - not sure if that updates the album in iPhoto/MobileMe or not but it made me think that perhaps this isn't the best way to do it. Any thoughts appreciated.

Steve:
If you create a MMe gallery from an album you will have both the album and MMe gallery in the left hand iPhoto pane. The MMe gallery icon can be seen in the Media browser in iWeb but the photos are not viewable nor is it able to be dragged into any iWeb page. You need either an album or event to be able to drag into iWeb.
If you drag an album into iWeb and then delete photos from it the album in iPhoto is not affected nor would the MMe gallery created by that album.

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

cwhargrave,
have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

Aperture exports Events to iPad, iPhoto and iWeb with only first picture

I have an issue with publishing photos to iPad, iPhone and iWeb from Aperture. When I want to publish photos I do find list of all Events in the device like in Aperture Library but each Event contains just the first photo. The remaining photos are absent although I can find them among all the pictures in the Photo Browser. This indicates that the photos have been transferred to the device but for some reason not included in the Events.
In Aperture each Event opens with all the photos contained. Did I miss something in the setting of Aperture or the device?

This problem is still ongoing.... Having synced my entire library to my iPad, not having projects in date order is a real pain - and makes finding a certain project very tedious.
Does anyone have any kind of fix for this yet?
Alexander, in what way did Apple acknowledge this problem?
Thanks,
David

Bridge gallery and iWeb questions, newbie....

Hi All....
I have made myselve a page in iWeb but I´m not happy with the gallery-layout with thumpnails and small sized pictures, I would like my galleries to be scroll down type, OR just one picture at the time and nothing else, except "Next/previous" and a "Menu" sign, either in a good (>>>big pictures) size....
I have this morning realized that I can do that in Bridge, so I have made myselve a testgallery and uploaded to my site via Bridge, and I can see in Filezilla that it is there, but I can´t see it on my page, off course because there´s no link between the two of them, the question is, how do I make my page show the gallery....???
I haven´t been able to locate the testgallery on the web, as mentioned I can see in Filezilla that it is there somewhere, but how to find it out there I don´t know....
My homepage is called www.easerfoto.dk and the gallery I have oploaded is called Bridgegallerytest, if it has any relevance....
If anyone have a page that is made in Bridge and care to share how´s, then please step forward, I´m on zero here, any tip is appreciated....;-)
Maybe I should mention that I am an complete NOOB on all this (managed to have Filezilla working first time last week), but want to learn....

When you created your gallery did you publish the file to a folder? And was one of the files in that folder named index.htm or html? Make sure the gallery works correctly by opening the index.html file with your browser from the gallery copy on your hard drive.
Then upload to the root directory of your account on the server. The url would be something like this: http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html.
Put that URL in the iFrame code below in an HTML snippet. The iFrame code in the snippet would look like this:
<iframe height="XXXpx" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:XXXpx;border:none" src=" http://www.easerfoto.dk/Folder_name/index.html"></iframe>
Adjust the height and width dimensions to fit the size of the gallery you want on the page.
Also for what it's worth there are other gallery types of presentations, some from iPhoto with a free plugin, that might be of interest to you:

Workflow w/iPhoto and iWeb?

So, I just now "got" that iWeb doesn't automatically downsize your jpgs for web use.. duh! no wonder all my idisk space is gone!
so my question is.. how do you work this out? Do you create seperate albums of downsized images in iPhoto?
what do you find the best workflow to be?
thx

so my question is.. how do you work this out? Do you
create seperate albums of downsized images in iPhoto?
If iPhoto is the only graphics program that you have, it will suffice. What you can do is to use iPhoto's export function to set the dimensions of your images and then export to a desktop folder. Then you can use these exported images to drag and drop into iWeb. But keep in mind that iPhoto only allows you to manipulate the dimensions of images. It doesn't let you vary or experiment with the amount or quality of JPG compression used, which is another big variable in determining final file size.
I use a program called Downsize (http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Downsize/) to batch process my images. It give you control over both image dimensions as well as level of JPG compression. It also has watermarking, frames, shadows and rounded corner functionality.
There are many, many other programs that can do the same for you. But the general workflow is this: Organize in iPhoto, export and preprocess, then drag into iWeb.

Mobileme website and iweb question

how much longer will Apple host my mobileme website? Any suggestions for transitioning to a new server? Will iWeb continue to work as my web update program?

Why did you not consider doing a search of this forum first before posting a question like this? Your totally unique question is asked and answered on a daily basis on this forum.
If you had searched you would have found that MobileMe will be available until the end of June this year and if you are a registered MobileMe user, then you should have received e-mails regarding this and extending your subscription for free until the end of June.
iWeb is an application and you can continue to use it to update and publish your website - it works in Snow Leopard, Lion and will work with Mountain Lion.
Have a look at GoDaddy and HostExcellence for starters and do a search of this forum.

IPhoto and iWeb & other ideas for publishing pics online easily

Hi, I am wondering if iPhoto resizes pics for a better web size (smaller) when sending stuff into iWeb. That way won't use up so much .mac space.
Also wondering how people feel about flickr or spymac for photo posting? or any other services. I have flickr but bandwidth is almost already used up for the month so thinking of moving stuff to somewhere else (.mac, spymac, etc.)
Thanks

Solta:
You might look at the new free service, Twango.com. It allows you to upload up to 250MB per month free (they suggest you limit the max size to their recommended 1024 x 768 or thereabouts. You can either upload manually to their site by dragging iPhoto thumbnails into their upload drop zone and select the size of file you want to upload. You can put all of your photos first in a private "channel" and the create public channels for specific photos to share with others. You can also email photos from iPhoto into your Twango account.
They provide code to add your photos to existing web pages like this.
Again it's free with only a 250 MB/per month upload limitation.
Do you Twango?

Web page import to iphoto and iweb

I got a new imac, gave my son my old one. He deleated my account, and I have nothing in the new iphoto for my webpage. Is there any way to retrieve those web pages which are officially up into my new iweb and iphoto?

If everything is posted to your MobileMe account, then you should be able to just enter in your MobileMe information in the preferences for iWeb and the sites will load onto the new computer.

IPhoto and Podcast questions

Hello,
Just got my brand new MacBook Pro, its a real screamer. I like it.
I transferred all my docs and apps from my PowerBook G4 using a firewire cable. No problem, after 90 minutes everything was there. Nice.
However, I have a couple of problems. When I update my iPod w/video 60GB in the MacBook Pro, iTunes tells me: "Podcasts on the iPod 'xxx' cannot be updated because all of the podcasts selected for updating no longer exist." I can access and update my subscribed podcasts via iTunes Ok, so I don't know what is going on.
The second issue is that in iPhoto I cannot drag and drop a photo from my library directly to the desktop. Before, with my PowerBook G4, when I dragged a pic a green plus sign showed up and when released on the desktop, the pic copied automatically there. This doesn't happen with my MacBook Pro. Is there a setting somewhere for this?
Thanks for any help in advance.

IPhoto and iPad question.

I am using iPhoto on my iPad. How can you create an Album in iPhoto? I can share, email, creat journals, etc....but how can I take photos uploaded on my iPad sitting in photo stream, and creat an album out of them?

As far as I know you can't use home sharing to view photos in the iPhoto on the iPad, you will need to copy the photos onto the iPad - which you can do by connecting the iPad to your Mac, selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then using the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which photos to sync.
There may be third-party photo apps that support browsing a directory on your Mac

Ive lost iphotots and iweb after hard drive failed help

Hi my hard drive failed yesterday and I took it to the apple store who confirmed it had failed. They advised I should purchase a new one, provided me the specs and fit it myself. I've now clearly done that because I'm writing this
However I've reloaded everything back on but i've noticed my iphoto and iweb are missing!!! I really need these apps, I cant remember how I put them on the machine, be it disc or download but clearly ive paid for these app.
Please please help me I really need these apps as I have current workload dependant on having these apps

iPhoto is included with the iLife apps and can be downloaded from the Mac App store or if your Mac is slightly older and came with an earlier version of OS X then Mt Lion then those apps are on the second system install discs that came with your system (Which I suspect it is an older Mac as iWeb is no longer included in the iLife suit of programs).
So dig out your original system discs and use the one marked Applications to reinstall those apps. Then update them from software update.
If for some reason they won't install on Mt Lion then you will need to wipe the drive, Re-Install the original OS X version and the iLife apps then upgrade back to Mt Lion.
EDIT, NOTE: To the OP and DS store.
iWEB Still works on ML as long as it is updated to the newest version. If the Applications disc is new enough it will even install on Mt Lion.

ILife 08 to 09 iWeb question (and a question about DW while I'm here)

I was thinking of upgrading to iLife 09 for just a couple of reasons:
(1) The iPhoto face recognition feature looks cool and I want to try it. I have tens of thousands of photos of friends from nearly 30 years in my iPhoto and it might be fun.
(2) I basically like iWeb 08, but hate the way it deals with multiple sites. I always have to publish everything, but in iWeb 09 it looks like I can single out just a single site for publishing, even via FTP. is that right?
Recently I also acquired Dreamweaver because of some work I'm doing for a company. But I find I can't even do basic simple things, like drag around text or insert a web widget (some HTML in a box) to move around and position - like I can do in iWeb.
Are things like that possible in Dreamweaver?
I can't even figure out how to add new text somewhere on a blank page in Dreamweaver. And everything I create looks boxy, plain and clunky. I am obviously not a web designer - I am a web application programmer.
With Dreamweaver I feel like I stepped into some 20th century web authoring tool. With iWeb everything I create looks nice even though I have no artistic talent myself.

I don't mind publishing to a folder and uploading using my FTP client, but it seems I have to publish ALL the sites each time to the folder and then just upload the one site's folder I was editing. So it takes a long time each time I publish to the folder. There is no way around that, is there?
About my DW question, it was "in comparison to iWeb". If I asked in a Dreamweaver forum if DW could do this thing that iWeb could do, somebody would probably say, "Why don;t you ask your question on an iWeb forum?"
Thanks,
doug@hoping this discussion doesn't digress into whether I should post my question here or not

Suggestions for archiving an iPhoto library? (and more questions)

Ok, so here is my issue:
Over 12,000 photos
Over 65GB
New camera that doubles the average file size of most previous pics to ~3MB
I've thought about starting a new library and archiving the current one, but there is one thing I am scared of: having an old library sitting around and not getting progressively updated. The times I have had problems with my library have been when skipping between versions of iPhoto and the library essentially gets "combo" updated (not the program itself, but when it updates the library files as it often does).
I don't think I would like to access the library from an external. It was a mess when I did it with iTunes, and regardless of available space, I think a new library that doesn't have any left over data from when it was started in 2002-2003 would be a good idea.
With that out of the way:
What are your ideas?
What have you done for this?
Just in case there is a drastic change like Final Cut X, or it is dropped like iWeb/iDVD in 10 or 100 years in the future, how can I make a clean backup that does not rely on iPhoto? ("show package contents" is just messy as I have many modified and don't require the originals in those cases.).
Any thing else that I haven't thought of, or any sites you could point me to or personal experiences with this would be great. Thank you!

There are several different questions in there.
I've thought about starting a new library and archiving the current one, but there is one thing I am scared of: having an old library sitting around and not getting progressively updated.
Simple solution: keep progressively updating it? In other words, use it all the time. Move your existing Library to an external drive.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
Think of it this way: You have a Master Library which contains everything and another which contains more current material.
I don't think I would like to access the library from an external. It was a mess when I did it with iTunes, and regardless of available space, I think a new library that doesn't have any left over data from when it was started in 2002-2003 would be a good idea.
There is no reason not to use an external as described above, This is also true of iTunes. I have no idea why you might regard it as a benefit not have data from 2002. It's much more convenient to have all the data in one Library.. If it was a mess when you did it with iTunes then respectfully I suggest that maybe you didn’t do it right . My iTunes Library runs to hundreds of gigs so it has to reside on externals, and does with no problems.
Getting Photos out of iPhoto is simple and safe: File -> Export. You can choose to export Masters. Or just current versions and so on.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

Question regarding iphoto and folders

I am a Mac newbie (9 months) and quite happy expect i freeze all the time after i installed lion, but that is for a different thread.;)
I had all of my pictures on an external hard drive. I had them organized in folders by year (also had a Year/edited for family photos we changed) and then by date/event...ie, 2011 04-05 Easter Dinner at Dad's.
When I got my macbook pro, I hooked up the hard drive and iphoto took care of importing all the pictures. (i have upgraded to iphoto 11). At first, I LOVED it. Putting face names in the pictures, etc, but after a while i got tired of having to reorganize them to find pictures the way i used to. I have over 15,000 pictures and renaming (even with the batch option) and moving them, and fixing dates, etc was becoming overwhelming. I found myself longing for my very simple folder organization. So i went to look for the folders, eventually found them and found out there were folders for originals, modified, thumbnails, etc. and when i went in my originals, they weren't in folders I had originally had on my external drive.
My wife, who is our picture editor, preffers photoshop and i have a windows laptop that i want to use for nothing other than pictures.
So......my question is:
How can i best take my photo's and put them back on a hard drive and then transfer them to the other laptop? Is there anyway to recover my old file system (deleted off the hard drive, except for an old backup but i have added thousands of pictures and have no way of telling which ones are in iphoto are old or new). I am fearful that if I just copy iphoto to the hard drive that the windows laptop will not read them, or that it will still show up with all of the different folders (original, modified, thumbs, etc)
And/or, is there a program to manage pictures for my macbook pro that will keep photos in folders more similarly to how i did before, so it will be easy to move pics from one laptop to the other.
Thanks!!!!

1. You know that iPhoto can do all this.
2. You can sort by Date -> View Menu -> Sort Photos.
3. You can search by date -> Click on the Search icon and select calendar. Then you can find all the pics from any day, month or year
4. You can search by date using Smart Albums too.
5. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
6. No there is no way to export back to your previous system. It's gone. You could have easily imported while mirroring that system, but it's too late for that now.
7. To get Photos out of iPhoto: File -> Export. Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
8. iPhoto can run a Referenced Library (where you have your own folder system) but I don't recommend it - especially for people unfamiliar with iPhoto and Macs. It also adds no extra functionality at all. It's just dumb storage.
