IPhoto/iWeb - am I an idiot or does this really stink this bad?

I have been using .Mac with iPhoto for a while now publishing photos to .Mac for my family to view. This use to be a wonderfully simply procedure, all integrated in iPhoto.
Now iPhoto launches iWeb for this task and I have a big issue with what happens -- iWeb uploads all the photos for all my pages every time I want to add one new page. Is this the way it's suppose to happen? Right now, I'm waiting for iWeb to finish uploading over 100 photos spread over 8 pages. It's actually uploading every page every time I add a new page. Am I an idiot and I'm missing something?
Also, iWeb should give you a clear indication that it's uploading, as in a dialog with a status.
Thanks to everyone who answers any of my questions!

Hello Scott,
I think I know what is going on here. Usually iWeb does not upload EVERY page if only something small has changed. But in your case, I bet everytime you add a page you display a new navigation menu link for the new page, right? So now you have 8 items in the navigation menu...one for each page, right? Well, what is happening here is that when you add an item to the navigation menu, you are in effect changing EVERY page because EVERY page has that darned navigation menu. Let me konw if I am way off base for you.
Let me suggest a little bit more elegant method of doing your photo pages in iWeb. Unfortunately, this may require you to revamp your whole site, but I think the results are a lot better and allow for future expandability. And it only puts a single link up on your navigation menu...call it "The Photo Gallery" or something catchy like that...."Gallery" is even better...simpler... Here's the method...
Assuming that you keep your photos organized in albums in iPhoto, here is a lovely way to AUTOMATICALLY generate photo pages AND make a nice index page that leads to all your present and future photo galleries...
Create a living, growing photo gallery
I hope you find this helpful. I think it is a particularly elegant and automatic way of doing photo galleries via iPhoto and iWeb, especially now that there is no Homepages option in the new iPhoto. iWeb is the future.

  • Personal Hotspot Privacy (or How Does One Really Turn This Off?)

    Hi:
    On my iPhone 6, under Settings>Personal Hotspot, this option is turned “Off”
    Yet on my iPad, under Settings>Wi-Fi, under the “Personal Hotspots” category, I see my iPhone 6 listed as an option.
    What gives? Even if no one else can connect to this hotspot since a password is required, it bothers me that this information is being broadcast for others to see. Is there any way I can truly turn this hotspot off so that my name is not broadcast to anyone near?
    Thank you!
    PS iOS 8.1.2 on both devices

    Hi CharPatton,
    If you are seeing this on two iOS devices that are both running iOS 8 and are both set up using your Apple ID, the information in question is most likely not being broadcast over the air from your iPhone (unless you are also seeing it on unrelated devices). Rather, this is most likely a function of the Instant Hotspot feature of Continuity under iOS 8, which allows for easy cellular data connection sharing to devices on the same account:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support

  • Does it really take 3 weeks to arrive?

    Hello, I ordered my new G10 laptop on Feb 21st and it is showing that I will not be getting it until March 13th. Originally before placing the order it said 7-10 days. How can that jump to 3 weeks instantly? Does it really take this long? If I had known this I wouldn't have placed the order and unfortunately there is no straight forward way to cancel as I need the computer asap.
    Anyone with past experience have thoughts?

    Probably not.  Which app and what kind of system and internet connection are involved?

  • Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

    iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    My iPhoto currently has a circle with an 'x' through it and I can not open it or sync my photos.
    Trying to Update my iPhoto to 9.5.1 and it says "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" because "This update is not avaialble for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

    iPhoto keeps crashing! - then needs to repair the library. This is happening each time I import photos or even try to go in to an even and delete photos etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please it is so frustrating - I used to love iPhoto - now I regret upgrading to Lion

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

    Thank you.

    I found the answer just after posted this.  Thanks to a user named CloudWalker.  Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

  • Trying to PSE 8 as editor in IPHOTO 11 but the option "In application does not

    I'm trying to use PS Elements 8 as an external editor in iphoto11, but the option "In application" does not appear as an option for Edit in:.  This previously worked but now I only have the option of editing in iphoto.  The move of the menu item from general to advanced seems to have screwed it up.   Any one have a similar problem??

    try renewing your iPhoto preference file -
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • My iphoto library, located on time capsule ( +/- 50G) does not load at all after upgrade to OSX to Yosemite ?

    Dear all,
    I am guessing, this is not the end for accessing to my iphoto (last update) library, my life memories, but after upgrade to OSX Yosemite, my iphoto library, located on time capsule (+/- 50G) does not load at all. I have sent the report to Apple.
    I am, worried to save or see my pictures back.
    Thanks fo your help.

    Hi Larry,
    Sorry, for the delay, in the meantime I have restored my previous OS.
    But to answer you, basically , I use the time capsule as both a backup volume and an external drive.
    It's a 1 To Capacity.
    Best Regards,
    Clémentine
    That is a bad idea
    1 - since you have files on the same disk as your backup you have no backup for those files which apparently includes you photos - having no b means it is just a matter of time until you lose them
    2 - The TimeMachine backup grows until it fills the volume it is on - when the TC is full iphoto (and maybe other programs) will stop workig due to lack of space
    You need at least two external hard drives - one for the iPhoto library (this one needs to be directly connected with a fast wired connection like Thungrbolt, Firewire or USB and be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and a separate EHD for  you TM backup

  • Why does iPhoto have Ken Burns effect and Aperture does not?

    Does anyone know why this is? In fact, I can't figure out why DVD Studio Pro (I have version 2 still, perhaps version 3 has it) and iDVD don't have it either.
    Why would the "Pro" level apps not have this cool slideshow feature that the entry-level app does? Is this buried somewhere in Aperture and I haven't found it?
    Brad

    Kevin Burns? Never heard of him.
    We have this battle about once a week in one or more of the world's Final Cut Pro forums. Folks moving up from iMovie expect access to a collection of pre-canned transitions and image movements inside the expensive upgrade. "Why else would it cost so much?" one can legitimately ask.
    Having Burns in Aperture might be important to you so please don't take the following observations personally.
    The issue for most video professionals is one of pride and deep, deep resentment. Designing and programming of appropriately timed and composed rostrum camera moves in x-y-z space is far more complicated than the more or less random settings the K-B button will impose. And Mr Burns, bless his pointed little head, is somehow getting credit for an animation technique that was perfected long before his grandfather was born.
    Including junk like the Ken Burns Effect in Aperture, come to think of it, might have been the deal breaker for us. Such tripe would have telegraphed the overall emptiness of the application.
    Again, I don't mean to poke fun at anyone who feel they get useful movies out of the KB button. These are my issues. But consider the presence on your Nikon/Canon of the "Helmut Newton Effect" button. Would you be tempted to use it? More than once?

  • IWeb - does it REALLY work. Here's my deal...

    I used a site builder at Network solutions / printadvisor.com is my domain. Nothing really fancy - just art / pics / links... my SMALL BUS card site. Anyways... the page doesn't view correctly. Their template problem... they don't intend to fix it. So I have to do something as I refuse to pay them another dime.
    I been messing around in iweb '08... and I could rebuild my site using it to look half decent ( I know how to get around in pretty well with the interface etc.)
    MY QUESTIONS - is it really wysiwyg. Really? No code writing needed, AND will view properly across browsers?
    I'll need some ftp storage for clients to upload graphics files / and printers to retrieve.
    And email forwarding to an address to get my mail.
    I have a guy willing to build me a site possibly using a wordpress template. I'm also bidding out to designers to build me a site. All of this will likely cost way more than I'd like to budget right now... plus I'd like to have the ability to add / or make changes once it's built.
    iWeb looks pretty cool now that I've been poking around... and should get a .mac account so my kids could do stuff... BUT IS IT REALLY USEABLE / APPROPRIATE FOR A BUS SITE (low traffic)
    Any comments appreciated.
    Thank you,

    David ~ Since you're building a business site, you may want to consider SEO (Search Engine Optimization) before using iWeb: +"iWeb websites are not made to be search engine friendly"+ — read more here:
    _SEO For iWeb: How to get your iWeb Websites into Google & Other Major Search Engines_
    ...iWeb is designed for personal sites and, as such, Apple apparently thinks there's no need for Google — you tell granny the URL of your personal site, she painstakingly types it in and then gazes admiringly at the photos of her grandchildren.
    Apple hasn't changed this approach in three iterations of iWeb but perhaps, with all the feedback it receives on this issue, there's still hope. Meanwhile, web-design apps for business sites tend to integrate search engine optimization — Sandvox Pro is an example:

  • Does anyone else have this problem, iweb stops responding

    I Purchased and installed iweb but it has never seemed to work properly, it intermittently hangs (spinning beachball of doom!) and now it will stop responding about 5 seconds after it launching. I have moved the 'domain file to see if was corrupted but even now it still hangs.
    Will a clean install of iweb help?, if so how do I go about this?
    any help appreciated I am a mac novice!

    I will run disk utility before I install in the future thanks, I discovered why it kept hanging - certain forms of .mpgs in your user/movies folder will cause iweb to crash so be aware of this

    HELP !!!
    Did you upgrade to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 in Mavericks? Then updating to 9.6 may not work - it is buggy at the moment.
    If you already own a version of iPhoto 9.x.x, but cannot update iPhoto, try to buy a new version.  When I look at the AppStore, the price has now changed to "Free", so it should not matter if you buy again or update.
    Delete iPhoto from Applications, but do not empty the Trash.
    Go to the first page of the App Store and sign in with your AppleID.
    Search for "iPhoto" using the Search field.
    What does the button below the iPhoto icon show? If it is showing "Free" like for me, click "free" to purchase again.
