IWeb missing photo albums

Hi all,
My .mac subscription expired yesterday. I chose to purchase hosting services with Mecca and used Fetch to upload the iWeb data to www.walterafable.com. Everything seems okay, EXCEPT when you go to the Photo Album page, only 1 of the 6 albums shows up. Anyone else experiencing this or anything similar? Where should I look to troubleshoot? The uploaded data mirrors my local folder--I don't get it.
thanks in advance,
Walter

I think I found the issue, and you, Cyclosaurus put me on the right track:
The following link does not work:
http://www.walterafable.com/site/PhotoAlbums/Pages/Fall_Festival_files/Media/IMG0508/mip.jpg
And this link DOES work:
http://www.walterafable.com/site/PhotoAlbums/Pages/Fall_Festival_files/Media/img0508/mip.jpg
SOMEHOW, when Fetch uploaded the Media folders, the case of the leading letters of the folder names changed from lower case to upper case and vice versa. The reason why the last album seems to work, as far as I can tell, is that those folder names only contain numbers.
Someone much smarter than me knows exactly why this happens but my hunch is that it is some cross-platform glitch that obviously .mac avoids.
So I'm either going to rename all of my photos to file names with numbers only or try a different method of uploading the files, CaptainFTP or simply using the Finder >Go>Connect to Server... option.
I will post the results.

IWeb blog, photo albums requires us to enter the site name on every entry?

Every iWeb blog entry gets a heading of something like "My Site" or "Tom's Photography." This means we have to retype the name of our site +in addition to+ the actual title of every blog post.
Does this not seem annoyingly tedious to anyone else? Did the iWeb team really screw this up, or am I missing a setting somewhere? This also happens on photo album pages; the page for every new album dragged in from iPhoto or Aperture gets a generic title of "Tom's Photography" or something. Pretty annoying. Can anyone helps?

that's cool and everything, but someday when I have hundreds of posts and I want to change the title on the top, I will have to manually change each one. For some reason I think Apple would have thought of this. It seems like a no-brainer...?
Still need someone to help out on this.

IWeb 09' photo album page cannot be displayed on IE7/8

I have created a photo album page with iWeb 09'. Publish to a folder and test on Windows system (IE6/7/8). All photo frames cannot be displayed, but just the title and some text. The page is blank afterwards with background colour only. Firefox for Windows is fine. Anything I can do as there is no other option for export / publish webpage to folder...... thanks a lot.

IWeb and Photo Album/Slideshows

My apologies if this topic has been done before. But I didn't find anything specific to answer my question here on the board.
For starters, I'm new to iWeb. Actually, aside from a .MAC account I'm new to web design period. I was wondering if someone could walk me through the process of adding a slideshow or photo album to my yet to be published iWeb site.
Thanks in advance,

IWeb Online Photo Albums

What am I supposed to do with all my meticulously created online photo albums now that iWeb is going away? Any suggestions?

You can find a 3rd party hosting service and move your iWeb sites from your iDisk to it and continue as before. Of course there will be somethings that iWeb will lose upon moving to a new server and the MMe servers are taken off line June 30, 2012:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
There are a number of web development applications out there that you can migrate to once iWeb no longer works or does'nt suit your needs. They vary in their ease of use and simplicity. Just search the iWeb community as Wyodor suggested to find discussions on the pros and cons of these apps. We have until June 30th to make our decisions and move the sites. Lots of time to experiment and settle on an alternative.

IWeb's photo albums are not viewable on Chrome and IE

I am attempting to upload a photo album from iWeb to my website. The album gets uploaded but it is only viewable in Safari.

What is the URL to the problem page?

Missing photo albums

I have lost all the 2011 photo albums. Are they available through photoshop backup?

Same thing happened to me, I am so frustrated, I regret so much doing the upgrade. I have more than 9,000 photos on my iPad, I had them perfectly organized in albums by date since 2002. Now I just have like 10 albums. Really Apple, you need to help us. There is no way I can recreate so many albums out of the 9,000 pictures. I do not have a back up on iTunes. I use iCloud only.
Please HELP!

IWeb 09 photo album loses hyperlinks to external pages

I have an album of images on my site and have hyperlinked the image caption text to open videos on external pages. This always worked fine in iWeb 08, in fact the images themselves on the main album page automatically became hyperlinked, which was cool. Upgraded to 09 and published (fortunately on a temporary site and not my live site), and now whether you click on the image or the text nothing happens. If you click on an enlarged image it just forwards to the next image.
Am using Transmit to upload, uploading to my site hosted on machighway, not mobileme.
Links work fine and open when I'm in iWeb. Tried dragging the index file to the browser and the links don't work, so obviously the problem is with iWeb 09. So my request to Apple--give us a "revert/undo" command that will take our imported docs and application back to the earlier version of software while you debug AFTER product launch. I really really hope this is fixed soon with a new version because my clients expect me to upgrade my site monthly and I'm dead in the water now until Apple fixes this.

I'm right there with you, and echo bjaquez's post. I've been frustrated by the situation. Been working (2) trials/options; create an album and try to hyperlink, and create a page and try to hyperlink. First, let me give some history.
I have about 140 photos of books to put on my site's Publications Page; plan is to hyperlink each book photo to the site where it can be purchased (external link). I reviewed the import options the Help menu provides for bringing all the photos into iWeb; one option open the Media Icon at the bottom tool bar. I found the photos in my iPhoto section, selected & imported. The issue here is it imports all photos, stacked on top of each other. When I attempt to spread them out and down the new page, iWeb will not let me scroll down the page any further, even when I've expanded the rows, columns, spacing, etc.
Option 2 was to prep the photos in iPhoto, then export to iWeb as a new page. That worked great, all photos carried over, etc.
Now, regardless of how I do it, when I open the Inspector, the Hyperlink "enable" is grayed out. It will not allow me to hyperlink the photos.
I'm definitely not a Mac guru, but pretty stoked how much I've learned this past year. I think the inability to hyperlink on an Album page makes sense in some weird way (maybe it's not weird and I've got it right, anyone can let me know) because I noticed once you click on a photo, it blows up in size so you can do a slide show or see the next photo. So, I'm thinking this would override a Hyperlink ability, or if it did Hyperlink, it would override the ability to blow up the size of the photo.
So, my next thought is to tackle this from creating a new page and dragging the photos over one by one and hyperlink.
Any feedback is helpful. Is it twisted to be frustrated, but intrigued at the same time as I feel like a sleuth trying to solve the crime

IWeb '08 Photo Albums not Displaying on any Browser Platform

Hello,
I have just published some albums to a page on my website:
http://www.hattrickphotography.com/HPC/weddingportfolio/weddingportfolio.html
... but they do not show up on any browser platform. For example, in IE7, it says that the page has loaded but in the status bar it says "Error on page."
If I drill into the error and view the details it says:
Line: 765
Char: 1
Error: Access is denied
Code: 0
URL: http://www.hattrickphotography.com/HPC/weddingportfolio/streamloader.html?scriptURL=Pages/Lindsay_and_Ben_files/Lindsay_andBen.js&id=gridEntry0
I did not set security on my website and have never been prompted with any authentication dialog. I am using iWeb '08 and publishing to MobileMe.
If there is anyone who could assist with the issue it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Regards,
Jason Hattrick

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you publishing to MobileMe or a different hosting server? In either case does the slideshow display properly if you publish to a folder and open it from there?

Iweb missing photo pages that exist on my .mac page... can I get em back?

recently upgraded to iWeb 09.... I published a photo page from iPhoto, and all went well - however, now I'm ready to publish another new one, and I notice that what exists on the .mac site has about 5 more entries than my local set as seen in iWeb ... I'm afraid if I publish again, those 5 will disappear forever... how can I get those entries back into iWeb on my mac? is there a way to make the .mac content sync with my macbook?
thanks!
HELP!

I'm just unclear on how my local copy of the website on my macbook is different from the one on .Mac - and how to sync them back up.
You can't sync them back up. There is a iWeb project file named "Domain" on your mac that has the info for your iWeb project. Then there is the published files that are on .mac for your published site. There is no way to convert your published site files back into an iWeb project file. You have to rebuild your lost pages in iWeb. Hopefully you are now clear about the difference between iWeb project file and iWeb published files in that you can not turn iWeb published files into an iWeb project file.

Sorry...I don't know what you mean by that. You can search for the apps? You can search for the data? Something else?

Many apps were loaded that I do not want. How do I clean this up?
First check here:
Homescreen > Options > Device > Application Management
If the app in question is not on that list(s), then it is not installed. Rather, the icon is a shortcut "teaser" pushed to you. You cannot really get rid of those. Rather, what I do is to create a homescreen folder called "Spare Icons" (some call it "Junk") and move all of such icons there. That way, they are out of my way.
On the other hand, if the app in question is on that list(s), then click the X button and delete the app.
Good luck!

Iweb formating problem with photo album

Hi,
Im quite new to iweb but was developing a simple website to advertise a friends photography business.
I've made three pages, one of which is photo gallery using iweb's photo album page structure which seems to work fine apart from one problem.
I adapted one of the themes to have a simple gradient colour fill for the page background and a single colour for the browser background. The problem occurs when i want to view a larger image of the one of the photos - the colour gradient does not extent upwards into the header area and down into the footer area.
Please see http://www.swanmoreweddingcars.com/test/MartinKingPhotography.co.uk/Gallery/Page s/Album_Two.html and click on a photo to enlarge. This problem does not appear when in iweb, only after I've published it to a folder.
If any one has any suggestions about what is going wrong please let me know, as i think i've tried everything.
Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I've tried playing around with all of those settings but with no luck. It appears exactly how i want it to look in iWeb but as soon as i publish it to a folder to upload it to my web server the problem arises.

Restoring from iTunes backup of my 4s onto my new 5s is missing all my photo albums

My laptop is being repaired and therefore I have nothing from my iTunes library such as photo albums, music etc, except what is currently on my iPhone 4s. I may or may not be able to recover what is on my old laptop and won't know for several more weeks.
Meanwhile, I asked Apple prior to purchasing my 5s if I would be able to transfer EVERYTHING that is currently on my 4s, into it, I was told "absolutely".
So yesterday I used my friends outdated but functional laptop to download the newest iTunes and proceeded to backup my 4s. Then I restored from that backup onto my new 5s. On the first attempt the 5s was missing all photo albums (only had camera roll and videos) as well as 75% of my apps and what seemed like my entire music library! however upon closer inspection it seems to have had all of the music listed but not on the iPhone! each song had a little cloud with a downward arrow protruding from it. Not sure what that is about because the majority of my music is from discs and downloads that I manually added to my iTunes library, not from purchases made in the iTunes Store. Regardless, it does seem I have those songs available so this isn't the problem. The missing photo albums and apps is the issue. So I attempted a second restore of the same backup file. This time the apps seemed to have all come through but still no photo albums. I am now underway on my third attempt in the hopes that they will materialize the same way the missing apps did on round two. I will know in two hours when it finishes but I am not optimistic.
Can anyone help me sort this out?

Actually it only restored about 1000 of 4000 songs, so 3000 songs missing as well. And the 3rd attempt didn't yield any more songs or photo albums.

How can I make my photo albums sync between devices via iCloud?

I've recently started using iCloud to sync my iPhone 5 and iPad (original iPad). Problem is: new albums I create on my iPad in Photos are not appearing on my iPhone in Photos.
I thought they were meant to sync automatically but I've waited a week for them to sync and nothing has changed.
I just went into iCloud in my iPhone and did 'Backup Now' and upon completion, it's made no differecne to my missing photo albums.
Photos are turned on in iCloud on both devices.
Is there a way to 'force' iCloud to sync them up?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Is your phone number checked in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. If it is selected in there, make sure that nothing else is checked that would cause the phone number to not be used.
Sometimes all that you have to do is to close the app completely and then launch it again and that might jump start the syncing of your messages. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
If all of that is set up properly, you may have to sign out of messages on your devices and start over again. Start with the phone first so that the phone number is accessible to use on the iPad. Maybe this will be of some help.

IWeb 09 major bug - losing site - believe it's photo albums and photo pages

I have repeatedly lost my site now 3 times since upgrading.
The problem appears to be when editing photo album pages with a few photo albums on them and then rearranging those albums and pages between sites.
I can't be more specific at this stage, as it's happening relatively randomly, but am curious if others have discovered similar problems.
FWIW I am recovering by using time machine and backups.

I too had major problems with iWeb '09. I was unable even to publish to a local folder without getting an error message "Unknown error" (really, really helpful). I published a site created and maintained by iWeb '08 four times to separate local folders within an hour, not changing the site at all during that period. Only about 90% of the contents were published. Typically what was missing was some photo albums and blogs, although not always the same photo albums.
After some careful poking about in my MobileMe-published site I noticed that some particular pages were not publishing to a local folder. Upon investigation I discovered that some of the photo albums, whilst appearing in the sidebar in iWeb '09, did not appear on the main albums page. It seems that, for whatever reason, iWeb '09 had lost the links to these. I deleted the pages from the sidebar and then turned my attention to Blogs. This was the other area where I noticed that publishing seemed to have a problem.
One of the problems seemed to be that there was a link to a, by now, 'lost' photo album. Editing the link and then re-publishing to a local folder at last cured the problem. I have yet to publish to MobileMe, but at last things are looking good in the 'test' phase.
It seems that, unless your iWeb '08-created site was relatively simple, some editing HAS to be done in iWeb '09 before publishing. I hope that this answers more questions than it poses!
