Iphoto gallery/mobile me gallery

Hi. I have just finished a lengthy conversation with .me support but my problem remains . I have published a new album on my gallery. I have sent it out using the tell a friend icon option on iphoto '08 and sent it myself from my gallery page.
I am not able to open the view album or the link below the album. The message is not valid address. The link contains numbers, not that I added, that show up as part of the link after publishing. Support offered help, sending me my gallery link without the numbers. That does not help in the email, nor, if that is the case, should the .mac/.me add them on.
I am using Safari, all my software is up to date. Support suggested I try firefox. (when I have Tiger/Safari, why should I need anything else) Well, that is not working either. I can download that, but when I need to place in applications, I cannot open my Finder . Finder opens otherwise.
I hope my question is clear. I am frustrated. I would like to look at the email that I sent and published on my gallery.. Thank you for all help.

Is it the tell a friend email link that you're referring to? Can you click on the gallery link in iPhoto and get to it online? The link will contain numbers as the folder for the gallery is identified by a 6 digit number.
If it's the link in the email that gets created by the tell a friend that you're referring to you might post in the Mail forum also.
All I can think to do is go to iPhoto/Gallery preference pane and stop publishing. Then republish and see if you can get the email link to work.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Using iWeb/MobileMe/iPhoto Gallery: how do I get them all to work together?

Hi all. I'm using iWeb09 and Mobile Me. What I'm trying to do is create a website using iWeb and host it onto Mobile Me. I registered a domain name and have placed in Mobile Me. I replaced a previous domain name that I had in there that I used for my image gallery since Mobile Me only uses one domain name. I can see the page I created hosted, no problems.
The problem I'm having is when I deleted the first test site I lost the ability to use the Mobile Me Widget with my gallery. Now it does not see my gallery with my photos. Now the iPhoto gallery on Mobile Me still sees the previous domain name when I type it in. I liked it that I had it linked to the online gallery because then you could view the other photo albums.
So my questions are these:
1- How do I get my widgets to see my Mobile Me again?
2- Do I have to change anything with my gallery to make it be seen?
3- What should I be putting in the site name?

Not for me. None of the MMe galleries will load online or are available in the MMe Gallery widget. Still something amiss.
UPDATE: I take that back. It just took about 5 minutes for the galleries to load. So very slow but they finally did. Some movies in the galleries never would load, like this one: http://gallery.me.com/toad.hall#100411. If you can get it to load and play let me know.

How do I save an edited image back to my iPhoto gallery?

How do I save an edited image from Elements back into my iPhoto gallery?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photo from iphoto, work on it in PSE and save it without changing the name or format (you don't want to see the Save As window) and iphoto will remember your original + last saved version, although you'll have to lose the edits to see the original again. This doesn't work for raw files and you will probably need to set the Editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over existing to get it to work for other formats.
2. Export the photo to the desktop, use file>open in PSE, make all the changes you want, save the file in any format with any name you like, then import the edited photo to iphoto as a new file.

IPhoto Gallery in iWeb

When adding an iPhoto Gallery to iWeb, the images are slightly cropped, which make them unacceptable. Is there any way to resize the images shown in the little gallery viewer?

The photo gallery preview window is set for landscape. You'll have to get on to ...

Cannot view movies from iphoto gallery...

Hi,
Using iLife '08, i have published some movies and pictures on my iphoto gallery. All my friends and family can view the movies with no problems on their computers. If i try to view my gallery via Safari or another web browser i get a message that says:
Quicktime is unable to play this movie. Please try again.
When i try with Firefox, i get the audio, but no picture. I have deleted my gallery and started again (giving it plenty of time to upload), but no avail.
Would anyone know if this is an issue with iPhoto/Safari or Quicktime and how can i fix it?
I'm on a new iMac (intel) if that helps any with 10.4.10.
Cheers!

Hi all,
If it helps anyone else-i converted the movies that weren't playing into .MOV files and all is working fine now, i can view them-still cant work out why friends and family can view the original clips, on their older Macs, but there you go.

IPhoto Gallery user friendliness!

I wish the iPhoto Gallery had the page numbers at the top and bottom of the gallery. After flipping through all the photos people get to the end and think there are no more photos!!!! I have to add a comment on all my emails to say that they have to go to the top of the page to select the next page of photos.

Organisation of events in the iPhoto Gallery

Hi!
After installing iPhoto 09 I got this problem: I want to access the pictures from another application (a photo-ordering software). To do this I go via the finder directly into the iPhoto Gallery were I find the pictures. With the older version of iPhoto I found the pictures organised in the same way as my events in iPhoto. After installing iPhoto 09, suddenly all pictures are organised in folder named by the import-date. Like this it is absolutely impossible to locate the right pictures, since I am oranising my events manually. Only to see the picture after the shooting-date would help. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can show the original pictures in a logically organised way?
Thanks for any hints!

to have a referenced library you simply go to the iPhoto advanced preferences and uncheck the option to "copy imported items to the iphoto library" - now iPhoto will not copy the photo but reference the where they are
BUT!!!!!!!!!
now you are totally responsible for managing those originals and assuring that they never move (including any path change due to hardware upgrade or repair) or change
This is strongly not recommended because it will create many future problems:
importing is more complicated
deleting photos is more complicated
edits made to the eternal original will not be reflected in iPhoto
and most importantly upgrading or repairing your system or hard drive will be much more difficut since the links will have to be recreated - possibly one by one

IPhoto Gallery Publishing issue

Hi;
I recently changed my password to MobileMe because my info was stolen. So far Im not having any problems with MacOSX, Mail, Syncing between machines.....nothing relating to mobileme EXCEPT iPhoto Gallery. Whenever I try to change or post photos to a gallery I get the following message. "An error occurred with the publication of album...X" Your mobileme account information is not correct. The provided login or password is not valid.
I have tried logging out and back in. I have tried logging out, logging in with bogus info to clear caches, and then relogging in with correct info. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone out there know how I can fix this problem, it's very frustrating.
I've also repaired the keychain using keychain first aid. I found a post where someone was talking about reentering the info in keychain...but didnt really describe the procedure.
Cheers;

Ok
so after posting this, apple suggested a few "more like this" posts in the sidebar. I read some and found this thread...https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1997932?tstart=0 it has some good detailed info about the keychain access. I found publish.me.com in keychain access, and sure enough the password was not correct. Updating the password in there fixed the problem.
Cheers

HT5129 all of my albums in mobile me came from my albums in iPhoto. will mobile me recognize that, or would it place a duplicate copy back to my iPhoto?

all of my ablums in mobile me came from my albums in iPhoto. will mobile me recognize that? or would it migrate duplicates back to my iPhoto? thanks.

OT - Unfortunately, Apple hasn't made it that easy. They've tried, but didn't get there. I have been logged out of MMe from the System Preferences for months, and I am still getting the new message now every time I open iPhoto to migrate my albums to iPhoto from MMe. I deleted those photos (which I had also like fatsojung loaded from iPhoto in the first place, but now have divided some of those to separate libraries for space), and even had deleted the albums from MMe! Thought I was DONE with MMe months ago!! Now I'm getting the following message when I try to delete my MMe account from my iPhoto preferences to stop the message:
"31 albums will be removed from your IPHOTO LIBRARY."!!!! Is that a typo?? Shouldn't it say "MobileMe gallery"? As those photos are still in my iPhoto library, I certainly do NOT want them deleted from iPhoto! And why does it still have all 31 albums in there when I deleted them from MMe months ago?? I feel like I'm in a horrible loop that won't let me go!
It's just a pain if I have to let it download all those pictures into my iPhoto trash, then delete them AGAIN. And frankly I'm a bit worried that it will confuse it with my originals that are still in that library. Good thing I have Time Machine!
Any insight as to what actually happens when we click "Remove"? Thanks.

Aperture MobileMe Galleries not showing in iWeb widget. iPhoto Gallery does

Is this a know problem? The galleries I've created in Aperture are not available to select. The iPhoto web gallery shows up immediately in the iWeb menu.

Have you set Aperture to share the Previews with the iLife apps.
Aperture -> Preferences -> Previews and check the box at 'Share Previews with iLife and iWork'.

IPhoto Gallery - phantom albums

I wanted to have a separate "drop box" folder for photos uploaded by friends in Gallery.
So I chose a Drop Box image jpeg which I made and placed in iPhoto (so that image would act as the key photo for the folder) as a photo to Share, and created a New Folder in Gallery. Everthing OK so far, but after a few moments I got a message saying that there were no photos in the album and MobileMe would delete the album. I tried again and again and on the fourth try, bingo, there was what I wanted. It worked.
However, when I used Safari to check the Gallery page there was my Drop Box album (good) and the other three (not good) that I had tried to make but were "deleted." These three phantom "deleted" albums appear in Safari but not in iPhoto Web, so I can't get rid of them from appearing in Safari.
Any ideas as to how to stop them from appearing on the internet page? Thanks in advance to those mac people who take the time to help.
PS Apple to summarily execute Gallery (and iWeb) next year. A crying shame for me. Not much reason for me to continue giving them a yearly subscription anymore except that I'd lose my mac email. Or is there a reason to continue subscribing?
Again, as above, any ideas as to commercial photo hosting sites and their value? Have to spend more money yearly. Have done some reading research already myself of course, but often read lots of negative things about Flickr and the others. I only share my photos with a handful of people and with Gallery it has been so easy, just add a few new ones now and then (about 1,000 now) without the need to waste my time "managing" it as I've got loads of GB space on my MobileMe account. Is setting up a homepage somewhere (where?) a better idea than Flickr, et al?
Anyhow, thanks again to those who respond.

Am replying to myself as I have found how to get rid of the "phantom" albums. Logged on to MobileMe, then to Gallery, and there I could delete them. Merry Xmas 2011.

Cannot view movies in iphoto gallery

Would anyone know if this is an issue with iPhoto/Safari or Quicktime and how can i fix it?
I'm on a new iMac (intel) with op sys 10.4.10.
Many thanks!

This suggests that the movies themselves are fine.
Quicktime is unable to play this movie. Please try again.

This sounds very much like a your Mac is missing the codec to play the movies properly. Try install Perian

Sort Order Changes Unexpectedly in iPhoto Gallery

I frequently add new images to some of my iPhoto galleries, then publish to MobileMe. When I rearrange the images in a particular gallery, the sort order sometimes changes spontaneously. Once this occurs, I have to manually restore everything to its proper place. Needless to say, this is very irritating. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Hello Alan,
If I understand you correctly the images will spontaneously change their order both online at me.com and in the MobileMe WebGallery within iPhoto. You may have a broken Album within iPhoto.
Try making a new MobileMe Gallery and add 50 pictures (make a few of them in an order that is distinct so you can tell if/when they move). Publish the Gallery and check the order. If its ok, add another few pictures and then check again.
Ultimately if the issue does not happen with the new album then you may want to delete the other album and re-create it (you could try rebuilding your iPhoto Library as well. See the link below).
If the issue happens with the new album as well follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638 to rebuild your Library. I would try using the "Rebuild iPhoto Library database..." option.
Also if you are not already I would suggest making regular backups of your computer. With Time Machine you could restore back to before this re-arranging occurs should it happen again http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553.
Hope that helps.
