IWeb vs MobileMe gallery

Greetings,
I am a pretty green user of iWeb. I used to post family pictures using the old .mac software, which was effective but clunky. I am now reposting material on MobileMe and I really really like how this works, and the syncing with iPhoto albums. Another great feature is the display on the internet, which optimizes the pictures, but offers a "Download" button if users want a full resolution copy of a pictures. HOWEVER, posting iPhoto albums on iWeb does not seem to offer this same function, or does it? If so, I can not find it. The albums are posted easily, and display nicely, but there is no "Download" option. Anyone out there can set me straight on this?
Many thanks
Dave B

That's correct. If you use the Photos page in iWeb and drag the photos into it you can set it up so visitors can download and set the file size for the download. You can also set it up so visitors can add comments to the photos.
You just create a photo page and drag the iPhoto album you want from the Media Browser into the photo area on the page like this

IWeb and MobileMe Gallery

I am trying to upload pictures from the MobileMe Gallery. I have albums published but when I move the MobileMe widget to the web page I am creating it reads "No albums or movies". Please help.

I've jumpstarted the MMe widget with the following 2 fixes before:
Try this:
quit iWeb
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password.
launch iWeb and try again.
Ahother method that worked one time was:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
HOWEVER, a way to embed your MMe gallery and not worry about fixes is to go online and get the URL of your MMe gallery and plug it into the following code in an HTML snippet:
<script src="http://gallery.mac.com/g/flash/photowidget_iefix.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
writeObj("http://gallery.me.com/MobileMeName/XXXXXX", 226, 199);
</script>
Thanks to Wyodor for the code.
Where XXXXXX is the number of your MobileMe gallery

IWeb '09 / Mobileme Gallery Widget / No Albums or Movies / Snow Leopard

This is my first time trying to use the Mobileme Gallery Widget in iWeb '09 and all I can get it to do is tell me "No Albums or Movies". I have non password / no hidden galleries published via iPhoto '09 and iMovie '09. I even tried publishing via me.com. Nothing. It publishes my site to mobileme just fine I just upgraded to Snow Leopard this afternoon if that makes any difference. I had never tried this feature before today so I can't say if it worked prior to the upgrade or not. I do use a personal domain and iWeb does see this and can publish the site to it but all the site has is my test blank page and an blank mobileme widget in it. Any ideas?

I'd say Snow Leopard brought it on.
Thanks. I'll try avoiding those features until there's an update to SL and/or iWeb'09. Happily iWeb09 with SL deals fine with my website in its current rather featureless configuration so I'll keep it simple for now

MobileMe Gallery features in iweb?

I have started to create a Family website using iWeb and want to be able to allow family members to upload and download pictures to their own albums on the site. It looks like a MobileMe Gallery would provide that type of functionality, but I do not have a MobileMe account and can no longer sign up for one. Is their anything in iWeb or iCloud that would provide this same type of functionality?

iWeb just made the layout and appears to not be expected to continue developement.
MobileMe Gallery does not currently appear to have an equal in iCloud.

Remember we are in the digital age where things constantly change. iPhoto support sharing to Facebook and Flickr directly. If I were to hazzard a guess not many people, as an average, were publishing to MobileMe, opting for the other mentioned solutions. You and I might be part of a minority that did. It is possible that a similar feature will appear down the road, but for now... don't count on it.

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!

Lost Links to MobileMe Gallery on iWeb after updating to Snow Leopard

I recently updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I appear to have lost all of my past iWeb links to my MobileMe Galleries. It is so frustrating. This is a lot of work from the past. All of the pictures still appear on Mobile Me Gallery but the iWeb site does not recognize them. The place where the pictures used to be now has a white box with text "Upload album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu." Why! When I try to use the MobileMe Gallery widget like I did in the past, it sees none of my galleries! Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Thanks.
Here is what the page looks like now. You can see where the galleries used to be. --> http://web.mac.com/georgeparsons/TatnallRunPics/Home.html

Hi I just made one of my few visits to these forums because I had a problem kinda similar to yours. It was sending me nuts. Main indication of the problem was that when I went to add an album widgit it didn't show any of the albums I have in iphoto and no other fiddling back and forth republishing and the like fixed it. This was after working properly earlier in the day. I have just started to build a new website with iweb.
I then updated to the latest version of iweb, that is 3.0.1, and yes you guessed it, now its working fine. So just in case i thought i would mention what worked for me tho i see others with different fixes to the same problem. So this worked on my 2.4 MBP running 10.5.6 and iweb 3.0.1.
Good luck

MobileMe Gallery not working in iWeb

Trying to create a iWeb page and wanna use mobileme gallery widget but the widget does not work. It tells me to add gallery and movies to the widget and thats already done. What do I do???

I pasted the video from vimeo in a hotmail snippet.
Do I still need to paste this in another hotmail snippet on the same blog page? How do you know what number to replace in 123456?
<script src="http://gallery.mac.com/g/flash/photowidget_iefix.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

Adding mobileme gallery content in iWeb with a personal domain

I've been building gorgeous looking pages in iWeb this year which I have attached to a personal domain.
I'm having trouble adding a movie that I have published on my mobileme gallery as widget is telling me there is nothing available. Could this be because I have iWeb pointed towards my own domain even though it's hosted by mobileme?
I'm confused and really want to add this video as something over than through a hyperlink.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul.

Paul:
If you have a MMe gallery that you want separate from the others but still have viewable in an iWeb site and page set its setting in iPhoto to be hidden from the rest of the gallery:
Click to view full size
Visit the gallery online and copy it's URL address. Add that address to iFrame code in an HTML snippet as I've done in this demo page: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies (the code is shown on the page). You can set the gallery to disiplay in any of the availablemodes, grid, mosaic, etc., by using the URL for that mode.
The visitor can view the gallery but will not be able to go to your other galleries. Just a way to post a single gallery to your web page.

IWeb & MobileMe Gallery ????

Can someone explain to me Apple's strategy or idea behind having the MobileMe "Gallery" functionality in Mobleme and iPhoto, Aperature etc and also having iWeb ? Especially considerng that they publish to different places.
Is there any way to get iWeb to publish to the MobileMe "gallery" instead of iDisk ?
I just don't understand where Apple is going with both "tools". Anyone got any ideas as to what all this means long term? What does Apple have to say about the two disparate environments ?
TIA,
Peter

Peter ~ I suppose the answer is that the MobileMe "Gallery" functionality in MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, etc. is necessary for those who want to simply publish photo galleries without learning a website creation tool such as iWeb. And +"also having iWeb"+ is necessary for those who want to publish web pages that aren't simply photo galleries.
PeterWor wrote:

It's probably a wise move on Apple's part that they do publish to different places — not all the eggs are in one basket. Also, a photo gallery is just one type of web page and it's reasonable that iPhoto & Aperture can publish the photos in their photo libraries to a special type of web page called a MobileMe Gallery. Plus, the integration is tighter from those apps than it would be from iWeb's indirect access to photos via the Media Browser.
...But I admit that the variety of ways to publish and access MobileMe web pages and Galleries can be confusing at first.
PeterWor wrote:

No — The Galleries have a special location and structure on iDisk that iPhoto, iMovie and Aperture set up during publishing. iWeb doesn't set up that Gallery environment. iWeb does, however, allow you to embed an existing MobileMe Gallery in your iWeb site — see this video tutorial:

PeterWor wrote:

I doubt that you could find something written by Apple that would discuss them as "disparate environments". I suspect Apple considers that the different environments it offers are necessary to provide flexibility and choice — but admittedly the result of that can be confusion, especially when first starting to review the different approaches. Some, despite having successfully published their galleries here:
http://gallery.me.com/membername
...are unaware that they can then control some aspects of it from here:

IWeb does not recognize new mobileme gallery pics

I recently tried to update an iWeb site with a new slideshow from my MobileMe Gallery. I tried the MobileMe widget in iWeb. In the drop down menu that comes up with that widget, the new site does not appear! All other sites are there, but not the new one. When I look in my Gallery, it is there. What could be happening? I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Could that be the problem?

i opened a thread here about a month ago on the same thing. I used mobileme chat, and they said it was an iweb problem and to call applecare. seems like this is a real bug. The way to get around it is easy though, see http://web.me.com/studiosphoenix/Altf4/Photo_Galleries.html
Those all used to be widgets, but are now just pointers to the mobileme content. All the widgets have broken - almost one by one - over the past several months on all my sites:(

IWeb '08 - Web Widget - MobileMe Gallery

Hi,
Since the software update, I made an iMovie and published it to my Web Gallery. I went to put a copy of it in my iWeb by inserting a Web Widget from my MobileMe Gallery - but the new movie I made wasn't listed. All of my old movies were there but that one.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much!!
Jeanette

for movies I now upload my movies to google video on private setting, I then embed the code in the same way you would embed a google map or You Tube clip.
It seems to work better than importing the video into iweb

MobileMe gallery movie in iweb too small

I posted my videoin my MobileMe gallery. I posted two sizes, iphone size and a HD size. I then use the MobileMe gallery widget to use that video in my website. I want the large size to show up in my website. Though it only allows me to resize to the small iphone size.
I'm thinking it's defaulting to the small size. Is there a way to have both sizes in my gallery, and use only the large size? Or do I just need two different files uploaded as two different movies.
thanks

Sync MobileMe Gallery with iWeb site

Hi
I published an iPhoto album to my MobileMe account, and now the album is published, available for everyone to visit. I want to add a MobileMe Gallery widget to my homepage, but when i do so, the widget tells me to upload a gallery to my MobileMe and the album i created does not appear in the drop down menu. How can i resolve this?! Essentially i want a slideshow to appear on my homepage.
Thanks

Welcome to the discussions. MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement.
Other Apple support options are here.

I'd like to send photos to a non-MobileMe gallery from the iPhone's "send to MobileMe" option in the "Forward" tab

Tried a search but it's mostly iWeb and I haven't seen this asked:
One of the nice things about MobileMe is/was the ability to send any photo to my MobileMe gallery. I could publish a photo to the web with two clicks, and then I could share the URL with others or post it with /IMG tags in bulletin board forums.
Now that iCloud is revoking this capability in June, I need to host my pics somewhere else on the web. Yahoo, Flicker, Picasso, etc.
I'd like to be able to specify that new destination and continue to use my "Send to MobileMe" button on the phone, so that it remains that easy to do... but the photos go to my new hosting location.
Does anyone know how to do this, or know of an App that would present itself as a tab in Photos to do the same thing?

Thanks- photosync looks like it will suffice.
Huge thumbs down to Apple for rolling back functionality that MobileMe had, instead of adding to it with iCloud.
They could have at least grandfathered us.

Photoalbum indexpage with square photos like the old mobileme gallery?

I would like to get a photo gallery made in iWeb with an indexpage just like the old "MobileMe Gallery" with the square picture container´s - I made a lot of special frontpictures - one for each album only to fit the square form. And I liked it! At first it was annoying when it always seemed to cut half the heads of or the wheels from my bikepict´s but then I adjusted as described and made all those beautiful firstpict´s!
Now all different "theme´s" index pages are equipped with rectangular picture container´s. And options to change that are not active.
Can anyone help me to...
...change the rectangular picture on the index page to a square one?
...find a skin or another web gallery program with square photo containers?
It would really make my day if I could get all my albums up and out again!
Tina

For starters, here's a MobileMe Gallery Widget alternative.
In the past it linked to the MMe Gallery, now it links to a photoalbum on my NAS :

See if you can use it for your future gallery.
