IPhoto places map to iWeb

Hi
Basically I would like to be able to include the places map on my site, preferably so it is interactive. Visitor clicks on location and links to those pages on the site.
I posted here rather than iPhoto as I can't find an obvious way to do this, and wondered if anyone knew of a third party application. I'd rather not have to do a screen shot and manual edit of the links, but suspect that may be the most straightforward way at the moment.

You can't do that in either iweb or iphoto.
but you can build a complex geotag/google map/iweb mash up system.
however, you will need to know/understand XML, KML and HTML.

IPhoto Places map home button does not show all photo locations in one extent

I recently started populating location information for my photos in iPhoto 2011. Some are pre-loaded from my iPhone, but I also manually added locations for other photos/events. Now I have locations assigned both in the U.S. and in Europe, but when I try to view them all in one extent (via the "home" location button on the Places map), the map centers on Europe and I can't even see the U.S. Did I accidentally change a setting for the "home" location on the map? I cannot find a menu that shows options for the "home" location. Is it possible that locations are too far away from each other to see them all at once? If so, is there a way to reset the center of the map so I don't have to pan over from Europe every time I want to look at the U.S. locations (which is 99% of the time)?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I think I figured it out.
It appears that the iPhoto Places map centers on the extent with the greatest number of individually geo-tagged photos. Rather than centering the map to the area in the middle of all your locations (i.e. one location, one "point"), it actually prioritizes locations by how many individually tagged photos are at that location (i.e. one location, many potential "points").
Secondarily it may be a screen size issue. When I falsely tag a bunch of photos in Hawaii, then I can only see HI and mainland U.S. (no Asia or Europe).
I guess Apple assumes you'll want to see most where you have the most tagged photos. This is unfortunate, however, as I tend to tag overseas locations by the entire Event (many photos placed at one location) vs my domestic photos which may or may not have locations. I guess it'll even out over time, but still, it would be nice to be able to set a specific "home" location or viewing extent.

IPhoto: Places map opens during other functions

While trying to sort photos, make albums, etc, the Places map will open on its own. When it does this, all of the photos I have selected become unselected. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Places has been disabled in iPhoto so it shouldn't be active at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Maps don't appear in iPhoto places anymore

I have an imac with iphoto 09 and have used places/maps in the past and maps no longer appear when i chose places. what gives?

You, me and a whole bunch of other people have encountered the same problem. Deleting the com.apple.iphoto.plist preference file, which worked in the past, has not resolved the problem for most of us. You might keep your eye on this discussion for updates:

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map to let me fix a position on the map. It remains disabled for my photo. Checking out the Help file has not given any solution.

I have imported a jpeg photo into iPhoto and cannot get the Places map tp show. I have tried the Help file and the information was not helpful. Can anyone give advice here?

I am using iPhoto 9.1.1. When I select thephoto, then Places I get the window (Places to lookup disabled). When I hit theInfo button I get the size an JPEG notification, and Faces and Key words. The “reverse” of thepicture shows a window with Rotate, Hide, Trash etc.
When I select Places, get the Google worldmap, and this case a pin on Sydney Australia showing that eighteen photos arecorrectly placed. I am unable to make the connection to San Francisco wherethis particular photo was taken on a very modern camera.

IPhone 5 "places" map in photos app only showing very first photo taken.

I got my iPhone 5 three days ago and have taken 20 something or so photos on the camera. Location services is enabled for the camera and photos, yet the only photo showing up on the "places" map of the photo app is the very first photo I took, right after buying the phone. I have no clue why none of the other photos are showing up in the places map & would appreciate any help making them all show up on the map.

mcytron [and Dhalberg]...
Thank you, for posting this problem and the resolution.
I have just returned from a two month 14,500km Kimberly's and Red Centre trip, and found to my absolute disappointment that all of my iPhone 5 photos had a horrid blueish tinge.
a) by chance, I found when fiddling with iPhoto Edit that on the photos with this tinge, that the Revert to Original button was highlighted.
Click on that button, and the photo colour profile was magically restored.
b) OK, but how do I proceed now; select every photo, and select Edit, Revert to Original for every one? I have 600 plus photos to fix.
I began looking for a method of doing a Batch Change, which I have used in the past to adjust the time [and date] of photos imported from my wife Olympus SZ-14, and bingo, found the Photos, Revert to Original button in the top menu bar drop down.
It worked a treat. I was able to select all the effected photos [in fact did a Ctlr a on the entire collection], and all 600 plus were restore in a few minutes, withthe click of one button.
Phew...

Places Map getting sloooooooow...

Hey gang-
Been having fun putting pins around the world with the new Places feature. But alas after getting only about a third of the way through my photo library, I notice that the Places Map is getting slower and slower to display.
For example, if I'm in Events and I click Places, it is now taking about 8-10 seconds for the Map to appear. Not a big deal if you only do it once, but I was demoing this to someone yesterday and so we were clicking around between Events, Faces, and Places and suddenly that Map delay starts to look like a freeze!
For comparison, I currently have 42 pins with 5,061 photos assigned to them. Also, I keep my Places very general- usually just one per major city- i.e. not doing anything too detailed like street-level or something like that. So I don't have pins close together that might be causing this slowdown.
Anyhow, I'd like to continue this project, but not if the Map is going to get slower yet. I'm running on a 2.8ghz Intel iMac with 2gb of ram and only iPhoto running. My internet connection is 6 MBps DSL connected over Gigabit Ethernet.
Anyone else seeing the Map getting slower and slower?
Dave

Well, I just upgraded from iPhoto 8.0 to 8.0.1. I had hoped to see speed improvement when switching from Events or Photo mode to Places mode. Unfortunately I see no difference- still takes 8 to 10 seconds to switch from Events or Photos to Places.
Currently have 55 places and 6,200 photos. Would anyone with a similar number of Places and/or Photos please let me know if you are seeing similar performance when switching to the Places Map view?
Thanks!
Dave

Iphoto places troubleshooting

My Places map no longer displays. Every photo I have selected contains the GPS Coordinates in the metadata AND displays when I click Option+Cmd+I (Show Extended Photo Info). I click on Places (the 4th item in the menu bar to the left, following Events, Photos, and Faces) and the content window to the right is empty. When I do click Option+Cmd+I, an empty map, with continent outlines, appears briefly and then disappears, leaving me with the empty grey box. I'm using iPhoto '09, which meets the minimum requirements. It was working a week ago. What happened? And more importantly, how do I fix it? Thank you.

First: my apologies, all references in the original post to Option+Cmd+I were wrong, they should read Cmd+I.
Secondly: I found a possible solution in an archived discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/message/9277201#9277201 -- see the post beginning with "Hurray" -- tried it and it didn't work. My iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced were already set to Automatic, so I changed it to Never, restarted iPhoto, changed it to Automatic, restarted iPhoto, and still nothing. Clicking on Places in the left menu bar, and clicking on Show in Places at the bottom of the window that appears when I press Cmd+I, still gives me an empty map window.

Exporting the Places map with attached photos

Is there a way to export the places map, with photos, to a web page or mobile me so a person can click on a pin and see the photo, just like it works when running iPhoto?

Google's free photo service, Picasaweb, offers the kind of the map and photos you seem to be looking for. For example:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/albumMap?uname=dankohn&aid=5560978952766944097#ma p
Unfortunately, the Picasa exporter for iPhoto strips out the geotagging information on upload. So, instead, you can use Phoshare to export your pictures to a folder with full metadata included. Then, use the free Picasa software to upload to Google.

GPS location on iPhone 4 pics does not displaying in iPhoto Places

I recently upgraded to an iPhone 4, and I noticed that the pictures I've taken do not seem to contain GPS location information. I was hoping to use them to geotag my pictures and access them via iPhoto Places feature, but they do not have any location info. I have turned "On" location services for the camera.

Problem solved - the information was not transferred with the photos when I uploaded them to Dropbox via PhotoSync app and then downloaded them to my iMac. Not sure where the info got dropped, but it was in the original files so I was able to recover it.

How do I create a slide from the Places map for slideshow in aperture 3

I would like to create a slide with the places map, like the photo journal in books, in my slide show. Has anyone done this and how did you do it? Thanks

Can I suggest that a screen grab using the selection tool in 'Grab' might work, and importing that image into your library might suffice.

Photo Places Map

The places map where the geotag information is show is just Google's street map. Is there any way to get the map to display as Google's satellite map or just an aerial map?

No.

IPhoto "Assign Place" map is blank - I used to see Google Map, now nothing, why?

I have used "Assign Place" for years and have numerous places identifying where photos have been taken. Today, when I tried to "assign a place" , iPhoto accepted the info, but the map window remained blank (terrain, satellite & hybrid…no difference- just a gray screen. I ollked at older photos that had an assigned place- same thing gray, blank screen in "assign place". Why?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? If not what's showing in your profile update your profile.

Aperture 3 Import Iphoto Places

Dear All, I just installed Aperture 3 Trial. Imported all my iphoto library to aperure 3. Projects photos and faces are all ok but i don't see any places pin in the map. What can I do?

I reported it as a bug to Apple, with specific instructions on how to reproduce the problem.
I suggest you do the same.
You can see what I found to be the specific situation in which Places is, and isn't, imported from iPhoto to Aperture in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11229662#11229662
At least in my research, there is a workaround: Take all the Events in iPhoto which you assigned Places data at the Event level (those are the problems for Aperture Import, I've found), go into the event, select all photos in that event, and assign a Place location to them all. For whatever reason, when I assign the Place to the individual photos it gets transferred to Aperture; when I assign Place location to the Event as a whole, it does not. Buggy, but at least there is a workaround.
I am waiting for Apple to fix this bug and another one before I make the transition from iPhoto 09 to Aperture 3. In the meantime, I was just playing with A3 to see whether I like it. I do. I just don't want to lose any of the work I already did in iPhoto when I move my 17,000 photos over to Aperture.
BTW, the other thing Aperture loses when I import my iPhoto library are the Titles I've assigned to photos. A picture in iPhoto that has a meaningful Title I assigned to it gets imported into Aperture as just DSC12345xxx, losing my manual labor. Not acceptable.

IPhoto 8.0.3 update causes iPhoto Places to malfunction

Well I applied the latest update to iPhoto, only to discover that this update basically rendered the Places-functionality unusable.
When I try to drag the map, the map tile under my mouse cursor gets selected and moves with my cursor.
I already tried to delete the iPhoto plist-file once and create another iPhoto-library. Nothing worked for me.
I hope Apple will post a fix for this soon, as I happen to rely heavily on this functionality.

Thank you for your hint. Yes, I have read all 151 messages, none of which helped. Seems there is an issue with Safari 4.0 and WebKit. I reported the issue to Apple via the feedback.
This isn't the first time that Safari caused problems with other programs. I clearly remember that the 4.0 beta version caused text input problems with MSN Messenger for Mac.
