IWeb/iPhoto not synching

I have been using iWeb for about a year with no problems. Lately I was trying to add pictures to my web page by clicking media and going to photos as I have been doing for 11 months.
When I click media -> Photos, my iPhoto libray populates with Library, Last 12 Months, Last Roll and some folders but nothing opens when I click ANY of them.
I have to have iPhoto open as well and drag & drop that way.
How do I get it back to letting me select photos through the Media link?
Thanks in advance!

When an app integrates with iPhoto it does so by reading a file in the iPhoto Library Folder called the AlbumData.xml file. If this file is damaged or incomplete then integration will fail.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library Folder. From there drag the AlbumData.xml file to the desktop. Restart iPhoto. It should recreate the file, and when you next start iWeb it should work correctly. But you will need to re-start iPhoto and iWeb.

Iweb/iphoto: not able to put photos into iweb site unless named by me!

This is wierd, surely this cant be right. I am building a site in iweb. Sometimes I can drag the photo in no problem, to drop it on the page - any type page, doesnt have to be a Photo /Albums page.
But other times, only the name of the file and a box comes onto the page- no actual photo. Seems to be when the name of the photo file is from the camera, because photos named by me seem to be ok. (But not always! )
Other times, the photo I'm dragging just springs back.
Please can someone tell me what's happening and how to get round! Becuase I am stuck - I cant put the phtos I want into my website.
(I find iphoto pretty annoying anyway - I prefer the way I used to organise my phots on pc, more logical with me naming the folders. I get in such a muddle- it's so much easier to orgaise photo files in Finder, but they still end up messy in iphoto because it doesnt recocgnise the changes Ive just made with Finder! arrggghhhh!!!)

Have all your photos been taken with your camera, if so, they are all jpgs. You can take them from iphoto and place them on to the desktop into a folder. They should all work when you place them into iweb. I have been able to drag and drop illustrator files, photoshop files and jpgs, all which were photos in the first place. It shouldn't matter what they are.
The ones that don't work have you manipulated them in photoshop?

IPhoto not synching albums with iPad

I have uploaded 1500 pictures to my iPhoto on my iMac. I already had about 10 existing albums in iPhoto. I created two new ones which do show up correctly in iPhoto.
I plugged in my iPad to my iMac and sync'd the iPad, then chose Photos to selectively sync only the albums I want. Most of my albums show up in the list, but not the two new ones that i'd just created in iPhoto. And those are the two i want moved to my iPad.
Anyone know why the most recent albums in iPhoto will not show up in the Photo sync dialog in itunes for the iPad?
Thanks
Dennis

If the photos are in the correct format and if you can see the albums in iPhoto - I'm not sure what would be causing this to occur - so the typical course of action that I follow whenever I run into unexpected behavior - no matter what devices I am using - iPad, my MacBooks, iPod Touch - and the apps that I use on all of my devices - is to quit the running applications and restart my devices.
Quit iPhoto, quit iTunes, reboot your Mac, restart your iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
This may not work for you, but it's easy enough to try and it will not hurt anything.

HT1198 iPhotos not synching up to iCloud

I have iCloud photo sharing turned on. I have 6,835 photos in my iPhoto on my Mac, but only 979 photos are showing up in my iCloud. I have tried dragging hundreds of photos at a time over to iCloud. Ive tried stopping and restarting iCloud. I have a GREAT internet connection and very strong wifi. Why can't I get my iPhoto pictures to show up in iCloud

100 photos
It is not that bad as your typo suggests, Larry - the limit is 1000 photos.
@PM4: In addition to the limits to My Photo Stream that LarryHN pointed out, there are additional restrictions to the hourly and daily upload rate:

Photo Event/Album Thumbnail not Synched with iPhoto

Hi and tnxs for reading.
Is there a way to sync my iPhoto Album/Event Thumbnails with my iOS devices? I am noticing that on them, only the first photos are used as thumbnails.
Tnxs, cheers

1) why is this not an automatic feature? I mean, do I have to manually trash that folder every time I do modifications and need to sync them or is it supposed to autoupdate automatically sometimes?
You shouldn't have to. This should update automaically.
I see that my thumbnails are not synched aswell. In iPhoto Events/Albums I can select a thumbnail. However, on my iOS devices photo library, the thumbnail is the first photo of the Event/Album. Any chance to syncautomatically the same thumbnail I have in iPhoto
I have no idea. I'd ask that on a forum for your Phone/Pad/Pod...

IWeb 09 not working with Internet Explorer

Spent quite a bit of time creating a site in iWeb 08, which worked fine with Firefox and IE. Decided to upgrade to the '09 version because of few new features (widgets, etc.) Update install went well. No problems using Firefox and Safari but IE now will not work.
Site (home page) can be accessed using IE but links to other pages are not live. A real pain. I did nothing new to site (e.g., did not add widgets, photos, files, etc.) except to add a comment to my blog. A friend told me about the problem. Unsure what version of IE he is using but I tried it using Parallels running XP with IE v.6 and had the same problem.
Do I need to reinstall the '08 version? If so, will it just overwrite '09 or is there some other procedure required to install an earlier version? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Didn't intend this to be as much a venting as a warning to others.
The iLife 09 suite is very flawed. And it's not just iWeb.
iPhoto does not deliver. Face recognition failed to correctly identify even one person in over 250 photos. Not a minor thing since it was trumpeted so loudly at it's announcement.
iMovie corrupted the preview of a project I was working on in a prior version.
Turned it gray and 'staticky'. Starting over now.
I don't see quick fixes coming down the pipe because Apple has been absent from any news or comments for over a month.
So if someone is contemplating an upgrade to iLife09 and happens upon my rant, maybe I've save someone from wasting their money.
As far as knowing what I'm doing?
I've been in IT for 20 years. Unix, Linux, Windows, backup/recovery, etc... I've led a very rich IT life. I bought a Mac because of the 'Just works' promise, not to add another OS to my debugging repertoire.
I can get around the FTP problem manually (another problem with iWeb), but the ftp on 09 was a big reason I purchased it. And the problem with IE and Firefox not being able to even view any iWeb 09 sites now? That's going to be a bit more difficult to fix and is a show stopper.
Apple has not responded to anyone's support questions (including mine), and it's been about a month.
Not even a "Hey customers, we know about the problems and are getting right on it!".
So, when something like this happens, I like to put the word out there on every medium possible. kind of warns people and hopefully get's back to Apple.
And if Apple doesn't monitor these Support Discussions, they really should.
At the very least, my comments may bring up issues others have yet to discover.
And it makes me feel better...

Photos not synched correctly on iOS

Hi and thanks for reading.
Sometimes it happens that some photos are not synched on my iOS devices through iPhoto and iTunes.
For example, I have the option to sync my last 3 months events. Everything is synched but there is one event of which I have 20 photos, all shown on iTunes iPhone synch options, but after synch I have that event with only 10 photos on the iPhone.
This is not the first time it happens.
Any help?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

I am having the same problem. garage band is the only one that will open for me. I see the menu bar that says iweb, imovie etc, but nothing in there works (is all grayed out)... updated etc, but nothing. SL 10.6.8

Iweb will not open

Iweb will not open, it shows up in the dock with the option to quit. "Adjust image" "colors" and "photos" all show up under the VIEW when selected but that all. No apple stores in my area. Could use some help.

You're saying you don't see an iWeb window when you double click on the iWeb icon in the Dock?
It's partially open since the iWeb icon in the dock offers the Quit option. So first try this:
open iPhoto.
select a few photos.
use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photos page menu option.
launch iWeb to see if there's any change.
It might take a couple of attempts to work. If the above doesn't work try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iWeb and try again.

IWeb is not working!!!!!

My iWeb is not working right!!! All the widgets (exept for iPhoto and iMovie) do not work, every time a place the widget it just shows a selection square were the widget should be. The same thing happends when I chose to show the navigation on the top of the page, just a blank box. I have already called the apple support and tried many different things, like uninstalling iWeb and nothing changed then he took me thought endless steps for hours and nothing. I also went to an apple store and no one there new how to fix it ether. I need this fixed NOW!!!
Please help!!!

I would go to an apple store and talk to someone face to face but the closest one is over 800 miles away. I tried to talk to someone in an apple store wile I was on vacation but that did not have room for me. But I did get a chance to talk to a sales man and he didn't know jack.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled with the application disk and it did not do anything. I have also tried accessing the widgets on another account and I have the same problem. I could try the download though, that might just work.
I have also had the problem of, when I make a 'blog' the box that should have the blog excerpts Is also blank and I can't even double click it, and when I do it just does what everything else does and shows a blue outline around the box and nothing else.
I wish someone knew something about this problem!

Updting iweb/crashes/iphoto also crashed & lost photos/iweb & iphoto probs.

Can someone please help me....... I updated my iwebsite this morning by adding a blog (only 5 blogs in total on site) and importing a photo from iphoto plus changing a couple of words on a photo page.
I then published which was fine.
I then went to do an additional change and publish.
A grey screen came down on the screen followed by 'restart computer' panel in 3 languages.
I restarted to find that iweb would not open and that all photos in iphoto had disappeared.
I then spent over an hour on the 'phone with the applecare protection plan customer help - we rebooted, went into an alternate account and did various other things but I was told the photos were lost and that I should reinstall iweb.
I noticed that the iphoto info still showed 602 mb (aperture shows 305 & this application is fine). Having gone through all my programmes I have now found all my photo files in Adobe Bridge.
1.Can anyone advise how I can import these back into iphoto. (Fortunately most were backed up - just the last week's work wasn't and individual files for an exhibition)
2. Can anyone advise what to do re iweb reinstallation and importing the saved iwebsite back in.
Sorry this is longwinded - should have done this in the first place rather than go to the apple care centre which hasn't resolved issue.
A big thank-you for any help or advice (I'm not a techy but can follow clear instructions!!)
Cheers

If you look in your Pictures folder you should find the iPhoto Library folder. Check inside for an Originals folder and confirm that it contains your full sized image files. If so then you'll have to start afresh with a new library and import your photos from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
As for iWeb, locate the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and look inside. Is there only one .sites file in there. If there is more than one Control-click on the largest and select the "Show Package Contents" option in the contextual menu. Check to see if the files used to build your site are there. If so move the other file out of the folder and make sure the file is named Domain.sites. Then try opening it with iWeb.
To prevent iPhoto from this again check out this tip:
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Suddenly my iPhone4 will not synch with my iMac (OS 10.6.8). What to do?

Suddenly my iPhone 4 (ios4.3.4) will not synch with my iMac (OS 10.6.8). What can be the problem? The iPhone and the iMac seem to work fine in all other was and the iphone gives off its usual sound when plugged into the computer.

iPhoto opens but not iTunes and no synching noted either on iMac or iPhone and after a few seconds iPhone screen goes black. I turned off and restarted. My wife is having the same problem with a different iPhone model and a Macbook. The problem seems to have begun for each of us since upgrading to 10.6.8. There are no error messages for either of us.

IWeb is not keeping pages formatted

iWeb is not keeping pages formatted after I upload and then quit iWeb. When I reopen iWeb the newly created photo album has lost all its photos, and formating is gone. I have not moved the photos from the HD, they are still in iPhoto.
All other pages are fine. sample image

Roddy,
That did it. It took a few times, but it seems to be working fine now. I deleted the photo album, quit iWeb, deleted the "Folder" /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist, Restarted.
Opened iWeb, then quit it. Then deleted com.apple.iWeb.plist, restarted. Opened iWeb, added the photo album back, published it, saved, quit. And when I reopened iWeb the album was still there. Also iWeb is running faster.
Thanks Roddy.

IPhone not synching all photos.

I am having a strange issue with synching my iPhoto library with my iPhone. For some reason, only about half my photos get synched onto the phone. I had first noticed this when trying to dig up some photos of my son and noticing that I only had the ones from right after he was born about a year and a half ago. Even more curious, when I tried to reset photo synching by turning it off, the phone retained the pictures. Even stranger, I could not delete them from the iPhone by going to Settings>General>Usage.
My iPhoto library is on my Mac Mini running OS 10.6.8. My iPhoto version is 9.2.3 (can't upgrade further without upgrading to Lion). I knew this was not an issue with insufficient space on my iPhone because the status bar at the bottom in iTunes indicates that even with the entire iPhoto library synching, 6 GB is left over.
I had seen a similar issue on someone's iPad, and the solution was to back it up through iTunes, restore the OS onto the iPad, and let the restored backup re-populate with data. Unfortunately, this did not work for my iPhone. I even turned off photo synching before the restore to confirm that there were no photos on the phone after the iOS restore. I then turned photo synching back on, and once again, only half of my iPhoto library synched. I got an error message on my phone that "3,268 photos could not be synched to your iPhone because of a problem. Check iTunes for details." However, there was no message in iTunes to indicate what the error was. The photos just did not synch.
Next, I tried emptying the iPod Photo Cache inside the iPhoto library and synched again. iTunes rebuilt the cache, but still did not synch the photos. I got the same error message on my phone, and no indication of a problem in iTunes.
The next thing I was going to try was to rebuild the iPhoto library, but if anyone out there has seen this issue and resolved it, please let me know, as it would save me a lot of time.

Hi mrchanbong,
When researching the error message you provided, I found the following resource which may assist you:
