Lightroom Crashing on Web Gallery Uploads

Is anyone else experiencing LR crashes while trying to upload web galleries? The program completely shuts down and has to be restarted. I've removed the library.plist file and still have issues. Any suggestions? Sometimes the galleries will make it up before the crash but only about 20% of the time. All of this began after the LR 1.1 update.

In my case, web gallery albums to which people have tried to upload pics show in parens double the number I've uploaded via iPhoto, but none of their photos show up. I, and my friends have conducted many tests now and it seems no photos larger than 380K will upload from the web. No error messages, the little green arrow appears as if everything worked fine, but no pics show up.
I've provided feedback and emailed support and tried phone support - no glory - ah well, maybe an update is in the works - would really like to hype that feature.

  • IPhoto 08 Crashes during Web Gallery upload

    I have been having trouble uploading a second Web Gallery to my .Mac website. iLife 08 installed fine and I was able to upload one Web Gallery but I have attempted to upload another and each time I upload the crash occurs.
    There is approxmimately 400MB of photos and movies taken with a 7.1 megapixel Sony camera in this Web Gallery (all imported from camera using iPhoto). I don't think that 400MB could be consideredn as being too large that it causes this problem.
    The biggest pain is that after the crash the whole 400+MB of photos have to be uploaded again from scratch, nothing is saved on the server. Is it possible to allow it to save uploads as they progress so this doesn't happen?
    TIA

    D2C:
    Yes you can. Go to iPhoto's Preferences and in the Web Gallery section you can rename the gallery title.
    Do you Twango?
    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Lightroom 5 - Building Web Gallery hangs and  then fails (worked versions 3, 4 no problems)

    The key and only reason I own and use Lightroom is to create and manage my 50,000+ family photos spanning through 3 centuries.  (1800s, 1900s, 2000s)   
    www.L-Y-N-C-H.com
    With Lightroom 5 the web galleries I have previously created and uploaded and as well the customer user presets I have created OR the standard templates are now ALL hanging and failing during the "Upload Web Photo Gallary after exporting all the images, etc. 
    The app does report the folders and files exist on the server so it must be logging in succesfully and parsing files and directories etc? 
    It then goes off and is looping around "Building Web Photo Gallery" and after about 5 plus minutes it fails with a " an error occured sending the file:  connection to the server failed" 
    Which is probably just because it is broken and then times out because of failure.
    I have checked, triple checked, changed passwords and also later uploaded FTP files and etc and actually am now having to EXPORT the whole gallery locally via LR5 and then FTP by hand the whole thing to the website.
    defeats the whole reason i have been buying this product?
    EVERYTHING works great except Lightroom 5 is now broken for this task to me.  All I did was send money to upgrade and install product and upgrade libraries.......so i can't go back right?

  • Save web gallery uploads locally

    Hi gang,
    I'm not sure about how the Web Galleries work. Friends have uploaded photos to my Web Gallery, and I can see them in iPhoto, however, I am concerned that I don't have a local copy. I've tried dragging them from the Web Gallery into my main iPhoto library, but it is not clear if there is a local copy or not. If I delete the photo from the Web Gallery, is it gone or do I still have a local copy?
    Cheers!

    Hi Damian,
    I do the same manner as you. Then I say that "export is not save", I say that an export it not re usable in Lightroom. So If you don't base your gallery on a collection (but just some selected files) and a saved customed template (with your own title, description, ...), if you find an error in your picture legend, for example, you can't regenerate you gallery. You have to re select your pictures, choose the same template, re type the title and the description, ...
    If the only manner to keep these informations is the "add" a new template, is the name "template" really a good choice ? For me, a template is something re usable. In this case, I don't think that I will have more than one gallery whit the same title and description ! So if a custom template was called "Gallery" ok. And in this case, pictures used must be saved too !
    Yesterday, I made 5 web gallery for my site. I begin by creating 5 collections. After that, I go in the web module and I create 5 custom template (same parameters, just other title and description) and I export these 5 galleries.
    When I surf into them, I found that the pictures (not the thumbnails) where to small. So I have to modify this parameter in my 5 templates. And regenerate them :
    - go to the library module
    - select a collection
    - return to the web module
    - select the template
    - export the gallery
    5 times !!!
    Not so logical, isn't it ?

  • CS4 Web Gallery, Uploaded gallery does not appear

    I was wondering if anyone can help me with the Web Gallery that Bridge CS4 produces.
    I have used Bridge CS4 to create a web gallery. After Bridge has finished creating it the result is a folder called Adobe Web Gallery. Inside that folder is an index.html file and a folder called resources. If I double click on the index.html file the web gallery opens in Safari (Mac). So all is good so far, it tests OK from my hard drive.
    Then I upload it to my ISP server using Fetch, as I did when using the Photoshop CS3 web gallery automate feature, which is upload the index.html file and the resources folder with all of its content into a folder on my isp members area. I then create a link to the index.html file. When I try the link it produces a blank page in Safari called " Adobe Web Gallery", and the rest of the page is blank.
    When I upload the files with Fetch I copy the exact structure as they appeared in the folder on my hard drive. I have tried to upload the gallery directly from Bridge CS4 but Bridge does not seem able to create a connection with my ISP.
    In the meanwhile I am still using Photoshop CS3 to do my web galleries, I 'd just like to get the CS4 version operating as it looks like a better product.
    I am using a Mac Pro Quad duo 2.8 with 4 G Ram.
    regards
    David

    Try it this way:
    Re-name the folder called Adobe Web Gallery to a name which is more appropriate for its contents; then upload the complete AWG Folder, with all of its contents, to your ISP Server.
    Now create a Link (with an appropriate label) on the main index page (Home page) on your site and link that "Link" to the index.html in your new Gallery folder.

  • Web Gallery - Upload from web page doesn't work

    I've created a web gallery with upload permissions set, no name or password, and none of my friends or relatives can get anything to successfully upload.
    I'm using iPhoto 8 version 7.0.2 (341) to build my web gallery, but uploading for others just doesn't work. They get the dialog to enter their name and email, they can choose images, they get the progress window, then nothing. I've deleted the gallery and rebuilt it, I've renamed it, I've looked in my _gallery folders on iDisk, and so no, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
    Anybody know what's up with the Gallery?

    I've not used the upload but some have reported that it does not work BUT that uploading via e-mail does work -- give the e-mail route a try as a work around and report the problem to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback

  • Web Gallery upload

    I enabled the setting "Allow visitors to upload photos" on my Web Gallery to test this feature. When I navigate to the site, I can access the Upload button and everything seems fine on the browser end. The files get "uploaded", but when I return to the Web Gallery or iPhoto, the photos do not arrive.
    I've also tested the add by email feature, and that works just great.
    Anyone have answers or similar problems?

    imnotjesus:
    Click on the icon at the right of the album's name to force updating the gallery.
    Do you Twango?

  • Scheduling of Iphoto and Web Gallery Uploads

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is an app or built in functionality in iPhoto that allows one to schedule when photos can be uploaded to the MobileMe web gallery? I don't want to do this whilst I'm working on my PC and will rather tell it what to upload and then schedule the upload for later the evening when I don't use my Mac ...
    Any ideas .. ?
    Thank you,
    E

    There is not - you can suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    For now just do your gallery changes last thing before you quit for the evening

  • Web gallery upload problem - the server switched to FTPS and now Bridge CS6 won't recognize it.

    I use Bridge CS6 on a Mac to create & upload web galleries directly to my website. My web server just changed and they no longer support FTP, only FTPS. When I try to upload a web gallery now, Bridge gives me the message that my username/password is incorrect. I have tested the server and can connect via Fetch so I know that it's possible to connect to the server. Is there anywhere in Bridge that allows you to change the FTP settings to allow it to recognize the FTPS? I cannot seem to find any information, I feel like there should be a simple fix and I'm probably overlooking it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    I Have a Master collection license. Is there a possibility to install Bridge separately ? There is no option to install it separately during the install process :-/
    Bridge is not a seperate program.  It is part of Photoshop.  That is why some users have to  launch Bridge the first time from PS to make it work. 
    Not familliar with the Suite, but if there are other applications where you can launch Bridge from the program try it.
    Also, make sure you have uninstalled any Adobe trials that may cause a conflict with permissions.

  • Bridge CS4 Web Gallery upload

    I can make the web gallery ok and ask Bridge to upload to server. Bridge connects to server and goes through the process of uploading. Slow but finaly says 'upload complete'.
    Problem is that no such file appears on the server. Where does it go? or does it even exist.
    I tried naming a folder for the upload but that freezes up part way through the upload.
    I can save to disk and upload via ftp but when attempting to access on the website I just get an error message.
    Anyone make sense of this?
    imac - OS 10.5.6

    I have had this issue and have not been able to make a functioning website using bridge.
    Adobe has been unable to help me with this problem. They told me it was from my server.
    Has anyone ever been able to make a website using bridge?
    Here is my test site:
    http://www.erinpatriceobrien.com/preview/maya/
    This is what my server responded to me when I approached them with the issue.
    the path to the xml file is not correct.  so im thinking they missed a
    step on the setup.  or something got moved.  who knows.
    i downloaded the whole thing locally to test and it wont work on my
    system either.   again there is an xml file that references the images
    that is not being loaded by the index.html page.
    ...which is located here:
    http://erinpatriceobrien.com/preview/maya/resources/group.xml
    and working fine.
    the images are accessible too:

  • Aperture Web Gallery Uploaded to .Mac Site, can't find

    Well, I uploaded my web gallery that I made in Aperture by clicking on the upload to web gallery button in aperture. It loaded them to .Mac but it's not like iPhoto 08 where you can easily find the gallery and email it to friends or change anything. It just dumps them online, and gives a url, but it doesn't link to your .Mac page under web gallery and so if you don't copy and paste the url that aperture gives you after you upload, then your screwed. I know the url, but my question is:
    How do I put up a web gallery like they do in iPhoto 08, where I can just click a button and email the gallery, or email it, change the page, and all that neat stuff that Steve Jobs did in his speech? Do I have to get iPhoto in order to do all of that?
    Thanks,
    Lainey

    Yes, it's an iPhoto '08 feature that they were demo'ing, not an Aperture feature.
    (See the many other threads here on this very issue!)

  • Web Gallery uploads not updating iPhoto?

    Okay, maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that when people upload photos to my web gallery, iPhoto then downloads those photos into its own copy of the web gallery the next time it is run.
    I have a web gallery that started out with 79 photos. A friend of mine uploaded 37 photos, bringing the total to 116. Unfortunately, the only place this is confirmed is in the title of the web gallery when viewed on the web. It says (116) right after the title. The number of actual pictures displayed on the site is still 79.
    Curiously, after updating the web gallery on iPhoto, the number increased to 80 from 79, but the web site still shows only 79 photos.
    Any ideas? Do I have the concept of web galleries wrong?

    In my case, web gallery albums to which people have tried to upload pics show in parens double the number I've uploaded via iPhoto, but none of their photos show up. I, and my friends have conducted many tests now and it seems no photos larger than 380K will upload from the web.

  • How do you embed a Lightroom 3 Slideshowpro web gallery into webpage using Dreamweaver CS5?

    I watched the YouTube video by Rafael "RC" Concepcion for incorporating Lightroom into Dreamweaver CS4 but I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 and his method did not work on my Mac system.  Does anyone have a step-by-step way or video?

    One way to do it is put each gallery in its own subdirectory of your main page (you can use multiple sub galleries) and then have the main page in the root that links to the index.html files in each subdirectory. If your main page is not in the root you have to add the appropriate structure in the return link in the lightroom created gallery "Web or Mail Link" setting.
    In the main page the link to my NATURE page would be   ../nature/index.html
    Then in the Lightroom created NATURE page you can use the "Contact Info" or "Identity Plate" (This can be graphical as shown on my page)     "Web or Mail Link" setting to return to the main page using      ../index.html
    To see and example see my site   http://www.ajaxmtn.com

  • CS2 crashes when I make a web gallery.

    MacBookPro is generating peculiar greek prerence files when I use PS CS2. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Still can't make a web gallery and still crashes on web gallery. Have archived and reinstalled system. Any suggestions???

    You don't say what system.
    but you are using an Intel Mac. CS2 has to run in Rosetta (PowerPC emulation) CS2 crashes a lot in Rosetta. If you are also running Leopard then CS2 is not even supported and should be glad it works at all.
    my suggestion is to upgrade to CS4.
