IWeb not finding photos

One problem solved (not able to find my user Library) on the way to solving a problem with iWeb and reinsating an earlier version as I couldn't load any of the pics while editing my website.
Problem solved temporarily on reverting to an earlier version of the website via Time Machine.
But not for long as the problem reoccured as soon as I tried to open any pages to edit (other than a new one which I'd created that didn't seem to have that problem).
So....... all the pages I have created give me the same window when I open them
The following errors occured while trying to open this page
With a list below of all the jpg Missing Files and instructions below as to how to reinstall them.
I can of course keep reverting to an earlier version but that is rather tedious.
Any suggestions as to why iWeb has become so flakey gratefully received.
Thanks

Might be a job for symbolic links!
I thought there used to be a GUI way to create symbolic links, but maybe there never was.
Anyway, here's a "little" background.

And, if you're comfortable in the terminal, what you want to do is create a Pictures symbolic link that points to the one on your external drive (not sure what problem this might cause iPhoto... may want to point it to the symbolic link as well).
Something along the lines of
cd /Users/username/Pictures/
then
ln -s /Volumes/name-of-external/iPhoto\ Library iPhoto\ Library
or something like that.

Iweb not finding photos after move to external hard drive...

so I moved all my photos by copying the iphoto library to a external hard drive, deleting the old library, and telling iphoto to look to the external to find the photos and iphoto works fine.
I launched iweb, tried to go into media, and it said please launch iphoto 2 or later to show photos...I did so and nothing.
How do I point iweb in the right direction in order to work with my photos on the external hard drive?
Thanks so much,
Steve

IPhoto can not find photo

Upgraded to iphoto 11. then iphoto could not find photos even though they are on my Hard Disk.
Whats up with this?
i manually located the photos one at a time. This is for 400 photos one at a time? this is crazy man.
it should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
Help. This eats up too much time.

it should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
It does. You must have a damaged library. You say you upgraded to iPhoto 9 (11). What warning does iPhoto give you when you try to use it?
If you went inside the iPhoto Library package and moved photos around that will damage/corrupt the database that iPhoto uses.i t should simply go to " all my files" snd grab the photos it needs!
Explain what you're seeing and what steps you took to fix the problem. Then we can attempt to suggest an approach to fix the problem.

Can not find photo

While I am importing photos into iPhoto, i have a screen that keeps appearing saying "can not find photo img_2345.jpg" and will not import the photo that is on the screen. Am I importing photos wrong or do I have two pictures that are the same file name and will not import the new one?
Also, if i go into a event, I can see a small thumbnail of the picture, but when I click on it to view, it says it cannot find the picture. Is there an original location that I can find my imported photos?
Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
This sometimes occurs if you’re importing a file into iPhoto and there’s already a file there with the same name. Digital cameras can produce many, many files with the same name over their lifetime, so it’s not uncommon to have several files called IMG_00543.JPG, for instance. Now you want to import one also called this.
What happens is that iPhoto compares the two files to check for duplicates. However, if iPhoto cannot find the file already in the database for comparison, then you get this message. It suggests that your database is damaged because iPhoto has lost track of this (or these) similarly named files.
A simple test is to rename the file you are importing - just add a character - IMG_00543a.JPG for instance. If this then imports with no issue then you might consider rebuilding your library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Premiere Elements 9 does not find photos

I cannot open old projects because PE9 does not find the photos and if I start with a new project PE9 cannot upload not any type of files.

And where are these photos located?
This is very, very important. Assuming that you are talking about Premiere Elements, the PREL (Project file) does NOT contain any media - none of any kind. It only contains links to where those media files were located, when they were Imported into the Project. Those links are absolute Paths, so that if anything changes, such as drive letter/Volume, file name, folder name, etc., the link is broken, and PrE cannot locate the file any longer.
Again, and assuming Premiere Elements, this article goes into more detail on the structure of the PREL (Project file): http://forums.adobe.com/message/3392837#3392837

Media in iWeb not showing photos in Photos library

I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my iMac and am now attempting to load more photos to my iWeb website. As a result of Mavericks, my iPhoto library has been imported into the Photos library now and no longer show up in the Media panel of iWeb as they did before. All my audio, movies and widgets are still available in the panel, but no photos are found/displayed. I tried to drag and drop directly from the Photos library to my web page but the photos were not incorporated. Is there a way to connect the new Photos library to iWeb or is there an alternate way to connect these two?

The iWeb app hasn't been updated in about 6 years and was dropped by Apple 3 years ago. It's just not compatible with the those features in Yosemite.
You can still use iPhoto if up previously had a version of iPhoto o 9.x or later. Go to the App Store and under Purchases find iPhoto 9.6.1 and download. That will open the iPhoto library and you'll be able to access it from within iWeb 3.0.
At this stage you should consider migrating over to a website application that is supported and has all of the new features that iWeb doesn't. One that many migrated to because it is so like iWeb in it's interface and features is EverWeb.

Iweb not finding Mobile-me albums

I have uploaded 3 albums using Aperture to my mobile-me gallery. Trouble is when i goto Insert in iweb down to Mobile-me gallery only one is there. How do i tell iweb to update itself and find the other two photo albums i have online.

Have you tried quitting and relaunching iWeb?
Make sure that your galleries are published by going to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites and looking in the _gallery folder.
You can also try quitting iWeb, deleting the preference file - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist - and relaunching.
If that doesn't update it, do it again and restart your Mac.

Media Browser in iWeb not showing Photos

Hi
I have read through many of the threads on here from people who seem to have the same problem and tried many of the suggestions, but still do not seem to have improved matters.
I have the message saying that I need to open iPhoto 2 or later. I am running iPhoto 6 and iWeb 1.1.2. I have an iBook G4 with 1GB Ram.
I know it is nothing to do with the little dot and I have also tried deleting various preference files.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

I am having the same problem in Pages 2, Keynote 3, iWeb, iDVD, iMovie ....etc.
iTunes and iMovie's material will show in the Media Browser in all the above apps. But iPhoto will not. If I move the iPhoto Library to my desktop and open iPhoto it will ask me to build a new library. I do, and in all the above apps I can see iPhoto and the library tree. If I grad some of the picture in the Originals folder on my desktop and put it into the new iPhoto library, it imports them just fine and then I open Pages 2 (Media Browser and there is the iPhoto tree.
Sounds like a solution right? Nope!
When I got back and import the rest of the photos from the Original folder on my desktop the Media Browser "loses" or drops the tree and I am left with the Message, "Open iPhoto 2......"
I then deleted the new iPhoto library, keeping my Originals on the desktop and created yet another blank library, opened Pages 2 or Keynote 3 and again I can see the iPhoto tree.
I went to my desktop and put one folder at a time into the new library via iPhoto, then open up Pages 2 (Media Browser) and I can see the tree. YEAH! Then I went an put another folder from the desktop into iPhoto and the tree in Media Browser goes away.
I have found no reason or particular file to be causing this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this a Media Broswer error or iPhoto? iWeb?
Notes:
I ran the test each time by completely opening and closing Pages and iPhoto. I am running iPhoto 6.0.6 and Pages 2.0.2

IWeb not updating photos

When I update photos on iWeb (I have a Photos page with 9 albums), sometimes the published website "ignores" the updates. Although I save and update a new photo, it just doesn't appear on the website. This doesn't happen every time, or with every album. And sometimes even if I rearrange the albums, to try to give iWeb an extra "push", it doesn't see that change either. Forced updating of the entire website doesn't fix the problem. Any ideas? Updates work fine on other pages, and on some photo albums. I'm running iWeb 3.0.4 on Lion, and the website is not hosted on mobileme. The url is http://www.hsvbrushstrokes.com/HSVBS/Home.html

First you need to make sure you are emptying the browser cache before visiting the published site.
To make sure that iWeb is actually adding the images, publish you site to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWebMusicWebsite/MusicWebsiteBuilding.html
... and launch it in the browser by double clicking the index.html file. Are the photos present in this version of your site?

IPhoto suddenly not finding photos since 2010. Should I upgrade?

iPhoto cannot find all my photos for the last five years. Same on backup drive. Both are external hard drives. I'm sure they are in the drives and in the library. Just the pathway to them not being found. Possible cause - I have not upgraded since iPhoto 7 (I liked it as it was). Should I now upgrade or might I really lose the abitity to get to my photos?
Graham

With respect that's not the same problem.
Create a new thread and supply full details for your issue:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Map module not finding photos from track log

I have created GPX files on my phone, loaded them into the map module and selected the corresponding photos. When I select "Auto-tag selected photos" from the pop-up menu where I loaded the track I get an error saying "No Matching Photos" I have checked the track data and the times of the photos and they do match - the track runs from 12:32 to 4:37 on 9-13-2012 and the photos were all taken within this time frame. Any ideas what might be going wrong?

I had the same problem, and I've found the solution.
In short:
Lightroom expects that the times in a .GPX file are in GMT/UTC. It applies the time offset for your local computer to determine the time of the tracklog. As of Lightroom 4.2, it doesn't handle time offsets (as in "+1200") embedded in GPX files. For example, I shot photos recently using the (excellent) SkiRoute16 GPS logger app on my iPhone, then exported to a GPX file. Because London was in summer time, SkiRoute16 appended the offset to the locations:
</trkpt>
<trkpt lat="41.54921491494658" lon="-0.06738643106430209">
<time>2012-09-25T09:26:40+0100</time>
</trkpt>
How do I know if my GPX file has offsets embedded?
If you load a tracklog into the Map module and hover over the tracklog, you should see timestamp tooltips appear. If not, it's probably because there are offsets in the GPX file.
How do I fix it?
If your Lightroom PC, photos, and GPX file are all in the same timezone, then you should be able to simply remove the offset. A GPX file is just an XML file, so you can use Notepad, TextWrangler, or whatever to open it. Use find-and-replace to replace the offset with nothing. That is, replace "+0100" with "" - the <time> elements should now look like this:
     <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
Save the GPX file as a new file (don't overwrite the original, just in case things go wrong). Try loading it into Lightroom and see if it works.
If your Lightroom PC is in a different timezone to the GPX data
...Then you'll have do some additional fiddling after removing the offsets:
Find the time offset of your PC or Mac. For example, I'm in New Zealand and so my time offset right now is +1300.
Work out what offset to use. In my case, the pictures were taken around 9:30a.m:
     <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
Lightroom's going to assume this is GMT/UTC and add thirteen hours to this (because that's the time offset of my laptop).
This means I need to subtract 13 hours, which will actually takes the timestamps back to the previous day. 9am on 25 October needs to become 8pm on 24 October:
     <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
Needs to become:
     <time>2012-09-24T20:26:40</time>
First, I'll change the day by doing a find-and-replace on "2012-09-25" and replace it with "2012-09-24":
     <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
Becomes:
     <time>2012-09-24T09:26:40</time>
Now, I replace the time portion, again using find-and-replace to replace "T09" with "T20":
     <time>2012-09-25T09:26:40</time>
Becomes thirteen hours earlier:
     <time>2012-09-24T20:26:40</time>
Once this is done, save the file (again, save as a different filename. Playing with these offsets took me several attempts, and you don't want to overwrite your original GPX file). Then try re-importing the tracklog and see how you go.
Phew!

Can not find photo toolbar

IWeb not finding my MobileMe Galleries

I've just found the MobileMe Gallery widget and wanted to play around with it to see what exactly it does and what it looks like. I've made a new blank page to try it out and dragged the widget onto the page, but the little floating box says "(No albums or movies)" in the Display option, and the the box on the page says, "Upload an album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu."
I clicked the "Learn more" link on the floating box and read the help page. It didn't help. It just said that if there's nothing in that Display menu, that I'm either not connected to the internet or I haven't published any albums or movies. Both are wrong, though. I'm connected to the internet; I'm posting this, and have been browsing other sites as well, including my own MobileMe Gallery page...which brings me to my next point, which is that the other condition is also wrong: I do have albums published to MobileMe. Many galleries. And they're all there, they all work, iPhoto is in sync with them, etc. And it's the same MobileMe account, no doubt about that.
So why doesn't the widget in iWeb seem to know about my MobileMe galleries? Or is there some important fact or concept I'm completely overlooking?

That has been an ongoing problem here. First try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
Next, create a new test gallery in iPhoto and publish. Then launch iWeb and try again. Some have said that the new gallery worked to jumpstart iWeb.
