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.

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.

How do I solve this problem:Photo's no longer displayed (Adobe Flash player 13,0,0,214) in online photo album maker (Webprint.nl) after update to Firefox 29.0.1

After I (automatically) updated to Mozilla Firefox version 29.0.1, the online photo album crreator of Webprint.nl no longer displayes the photo's that I uploaded.
The photo's are displayed again when I use an older Firefox browser (version 28.*) from an another computer. This is my old (WIndows Vista) computer that I use when my new Windows 7 computer has problems.
It looks like the new Firefox has a problem with Adobe Flash player 13,0,0,214; which is the newest version according to Adobe.
Please help!

Online Photo Albums With Dreamweaver/FireWorks

I try to make an online photo album with dreamweaver and fireworks and it says an "internal error occured" and wont work. Any idea wha the problem is?

Hi,
I am really not sure why you would have that problem. If there is any way you can explain what you did exactly in your coding.
Are you trying to do this in your website?
http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/2005/09/flash-slideshow.html
If you are trying to do a photo album there are several tutorials online that help you out(are you trying to use Flickr?). I personally make my own photo slideshows using Flash.
Let me know how it goes,

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.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As you probably know IE is a very poor browser. Roddy has published tips on getting iWeb pages to load more efficiently in IE: http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebandInternetExplorer.html.
He has posted other tips here:

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,

HI John,
The iWeb support site is a great place to start learning.
Don't forget to click on the iWeb tutorials "start here" link.
Have fun!

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'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?

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 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.

Error message when I try to publish an iWeb photo album with audio to Mobileme:

I get the following error message when trying to publish a photo album with audio from iWeb to Mobileme. I've checked my account and I have plenty of available space on Mobileme and have logged in there.
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/qg/qg-Qwo-82RWdDU+8ZNhusU+++TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.i Web_9121_TEMP_344183369_3/sites/Site/Grand_Canyon_11_Slideshow_part_1_2_files/or iginal_2.jpg”. Try publishing again later.
Is there a problem with my photos or other content (I've added some songs to play in the slideshow)
Dan H.

First see if you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive. You can select the folder by clicking on the site's folder in iWeb and using the Publish To: menu.
If that's successful try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.

Photo Albums showing up in iWeb but not in published site

I'm publishing to an FTP server using Transmit. The site address is chrisfitzgeraldmusic.com . All of the other pages publish perfectly, but the photo albums page has never published correctly. In the past, some albums have shown up, others haven't. Within the ones that showed up, some pictures were displayed while others weren't. Just today I tried to fix this by deleting all the albums and putting in a single iPhoto album which I also rebuilt. The album displays perfectly in iWeb, but shows up as a blank photo albums page when I publish it to the FTP server. Any ideas? I'm at my wits end.

For some reason not all of the files are getting uploaded. Publish to a folder on your hard drive and open the site with your browser to make sure the photos and albums are getting created as they should.
If you using iWeb's ftp client to upload to your server then try publishing to a folder on the hard drive first and use a 3rd party ftp client like the freeCyberduck or Transmit to upload the files to the server. This might help also: Old Toad's Tutorial #2 - Uploading only those published new or newly edited files when using a 3rd party FTP client.
If you are already publishing to a folder what ftp client are you using? If it's not Cyberduck give it a try. It's well thought of here in the forums.

Iweb Photo Album vs MobileMe Gallery or...

... should I look for flickr or something?
Hi guys new mac user in every sense...the wife got her Macbook on December and I couldn't resist and got my mine three days ago.
Guys...I'm creating a website with iweb and although right now does not have a lot of pics, I know it will...so please guys:
1. If I want the visitors to have a fast access (loading) to the albums...which is the best option? iweb Photo Album or the MobileMe Gallery widget?
I know that at the end all the pics will be loaded on/from the MobileMe server, but just wanted to check if one have proved being faster than the other.
2. The other thing I was concern about was of course space..that's why I though about putting all the pics on flickr, photobucket...and then embed an album on iWeb...can I do that?
thanks guys and please if this has already been discussed please post a link...I did the search and nothing came up.

hey guys...I found this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10742043&#10742043 Aztian said that his photos load faster using iWeb Photo Albums...it would be nice to have more info...thanks!
