.Mac - galleries and caption

I've searched the forum trying to figure out how I can add captions (actually I would like to use a combination of headline and caption) to photos in a web gallery but only found posts that suggest that this can only be done from iPhoto.
I've tried and I have no problems adding a caption in iPhoto but haven't been able to do this in Aperture. Is it really true that this can't be done in Aperture???

This problem is extremely irritating. For all the 'good looks' of .mac/mobleme's web gallery, you can change the desired order of albums on the MobileMe gallery page until the cows come home, but it doesn't stick. Something that a 10 year old could do with hard coded HTML seems beyond the ability of Apple's web 2.0. This is just one of the really limiting shortcomings of .mac web galleries: No ability to display captions (version names only). No ability to display photo locations via geotagging (esp. now the iphone, and Aperture, can do such). Frequent problems when trying to update an already published gallery (trying to add in a new photo from Aperture is hit or miss for me). So far, galleries remain a great concept with poor execution. Is anyone at Apple listening?

  • Web Galleries and Captions

    I know that in order to show captions in a Web Gallery you must copy the caption into the Version Name field. For the most part that works okay, but some of my captions are longer than the image is wide, so it gets cut off. Yes, you can see the whole thing by mousing over it in the index or selecting the I-button to flip it over. Neither of those are intuitive to my viewers, however, and even the I-button field isn't quite long enough for a couple of them.
    I found an Aperture plugin that makes a flash-based gallery with Captions that can be exported to a folder. The plugin is called "Flash Album Exporter." Its only downside is that you must export it to a folder and then upload it to your iDisk. If you are hosing somewhere besides MobileMe, that is fine, but I prefer the simplicity of one-click publishing directly to MobileMe.
    Is there a better solution for this?

    Bob,
    When captions are a key factor, I publish as a Web Page, and not Web Gallery. The features of easy downloading for the viewer is not there, nor is the full screen slideshow, but it is a good choice to provide images of an event where the viewer may not have been there themselves and need lengthy captions.
    With a Web Page, you can keep the version name, and simply also provide the info you enter into the Caption field of the metadata.

  • Missing Aperture .Mac Galleries

    I have four .Mac galleries published from Aperture 2.1 (and several more from iPhoto). They no longer appear in my projects, although if I go into preferences I can see them (and stop publishing them). I don't want to stop publishing, but want to add new photos - how can I make them reappear in Aperture?

  • Web Gallery with Date (dd-mm-yyyy) and Caption metadata only

    Aperture is a great product.
    I would like to add the date (dd-mm-yyyy) and caption to my photos but do not have that combination in the metadata drop down.
    How do I customize this?
    Thanks, Paul.

    I want to put caption and date (but not time) on each photo in a photobook. I've finished laying out the book and only just discovered that I can't do it. The metadata button has many options but not caption and date together.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Photo Titles and Captions on Ipad Mini 3

    I want to add titles and captions to my photos on my new Ipad Mini 3 - just like you can do in iPhoto on a mac desktop, though I understand this has been discontinued for the ipad mini. It seems quite absurd that I can't name and file my photos properly in the main photos app (beyond selecting to put into albums) - has anyone found a good solution, add-on or way around this? I'm an iPad newbie so the answer may be obvious! Thanks for your help guys.

    Hi, Yes you can add captions,edit and add titles.  Just go to the app store and type in the search box what you are looking for.  Example Photo captions, photo collage or what ever you are looking for.  You will then see what apps are available to buy.  Have Fun!

  • Missing reflection and captions

    I have been sending out my iWeb addresses to my friends and one, who has both a PC and a Mac, reported that when the site was opened and the slide show is loaded and played on the PC, the reflection and captions were present, but when Safari was used on the Mac Mini, no reflection and captions were visible. Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this happened, and what could be done about it? I want my captions to be able to be viewed when watching the slide show.
    Thank you.

    I have discovered that, at least in one case, when a Mac user opens my sites with FireFox, the captions don't show and Windows users can use IE or FireFox and the captions show, but the reflections do not.

  • Web Galleries and new iWeb album pages

    The new version of iWeb allows for "album" pages that serve as a collection of all the photo and mvies pages that are in a site. This is pretty slick, and allows one to re-order the photo pages exactly like one can re-order photos on one of the photo pages.
    I am playing with web galleries, and notice that you can create a widget for a gallery for any iWeb page. When I do this on my album page, the widget shows up, but does not act like or interact with the other picture pages. It is simply a "widget" that sits on the page where it is placed. Has anyone figured out how to get a (link to a) gallery to act like one of the photo pages?

    I'm searching the forum for a solution to this too; web galleries look cheap next to the albums, and there's no reason for it. Short of changing all of my albums to galleries, here's my temporary solution, but it's a half-measure:
    1) Drop a square on top of your .Mac Web Gallery widget that's just a bit larger than the widget.
    2) Select the square, and in the Inspector, go to the Graphic Inspector, and under Stroke, select Picture Frame.
    3) Select the frame that matches your album's format, then resize the square until it's just about the size of the widget, or provides the desired border width around the widget.
    4) Move the square backward, behind the widget.
    5) If desired, add a dummy album name beneath the gallery for visual continuity.
    See my example here: http://www.vehphoto.com/sandrift/Photos/Photos.html
    This worked for me because I'm using a white background and white frames; your mileage may vary depending on what theme and picture frames you're using. (I can't recall if I enabled additional frames in the Inspector as described in the Keynote forums - if a matching frame appears to be missing in the Inspector, let me know and I'll double-check this.)
    Still, it's a sub-optimal solution, because 1) the widget cannot be resized 2) the widget still contains the gallery name, and 3) widgets cannot be rearranged the way albums can - they probably have to be segregated from albums.
    I'll be posting feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

    Hall Palm Desert,
    if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

  • HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail.  I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud.  How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

    I set up .mac, including email, around 2006.  I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013. 
    I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11.  I'm still using that machine.
    In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
    I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account. 
    When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
    Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
    Thanks,

    I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

  • What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window but in other cases, both the label and caption appear in the context help window?

    I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
    s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
    I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
    Can I have complete control over the context help fo
    r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
    I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.

    Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features 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.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available 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 didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
