.Mac web galleries with Aperture

Hi all,
I use Aperture for all of my photography needs however, I'd really like to be able to use the .Mac web gallery feature of iPhoto '08. I haven't bought iLife '08 yet because I'd like to know how this would work...
Can anyone give me an insight into how using your Aperture library in iPhoto works? Does your Aperture library automatically appear in iPhoto? Would I have to export my photos from Aperture and then import into iPhoto (therefore having a duplicate)?
Thanks for any help
-Sam

Sam
Just tried an experiment with importing dragging a couple of pics across.
If you use iPhoto in the default setting, (Copy Pics to the iPhoto Library on Import) then yes, the Previews are copied over.
However, if you disable this in the Preferences (->Advanced) the Preview is not copied over, but referenced instead, and a Right-Click -> Show File produces a Finder Window with the Preview Selected in the Aperture Library.
Regards

Creating .Mac web Galleries with iPhoto '08

OK, I'm fairly new to the Mac world, and started using my .Mac account this week to show vacation photos. I've created a few photo albums and published them to my .Mac account. But now when you go to gallery.mac.com/jasonskwarek you get prompted with a password to access the images. I've checked the galleries in iPhoto, deleted and re-uploaded them, there is no password set there yet I still get this prompt. Anyone have any ideas?
Also, when creating a new album and clicking the Web Gallery icon to create the web gallery it only uploads one image, I have to create the Web Gallery again and the second one will post all the images, I then delete the one that was created first. Am I doing something wrong here as well? I've created maybe 8 galleries and this has happened with every gallery that I upload.
TIA,
Jason

First - are yuou running the latest version of iPhoto - version 7.1.1? - if not update and try again
Second recheck the setttings - select a web gallery in the source pane (the left hand side bar) and click on the options (the little gear lookin thingy at the bottom of the screen) and be sure that everyone is allow to view and that there is no password - sounds like you did but be sure
next would be to delete the gallery, trash you iPhoto preferences and try again
Good Luck

Strange behaviour in .mac web galleries

Hi,
I have started to use .mac web galleries with aperture 2. However, I am witnessing some very strange behaviour. Firstly, it seems to take forever to update, the icon at the side of the gallery is permanently on the 'update' icon.
Secondly, whenever I add new photos to the gallery it actually creates an entirely new gallery with all the photos from the previous gallery.
Is anybody else having issues with the aperture flavour of .mac web galleries?
thx
Phil

I have a similar problem Phil! I watch the status indicator for a web gallery progress to about half way then it stops, the album doesn't get published. I have published albums before this started happening, and have published other albums successfully but sometimes certain albums don't publish. I delete them and repost them to no avail. Hopefully we can get some answers! This is quite lame, don'tcha think?

.Mac Galleries with Aperture and iPhoto

I recently upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture.
I have a number of .Mac Web Galleries that I posted from iPhoto. After starting to use Aperture I have begun to post my .Mac Web Galleries from Aperture instead. It has been smooth except for one problem. All my galleries from iPhoto appear on the page in chronological order of posting from earliest to latest. The Aperture posted gallery however appeared at the beginning (earliest) and thus out of order.
Anyone know how to change the order of galleries if some are in iPhoto and some in Aperture? Any way to make sure the Aperture posted galleries appear "after" the iPhoto ones?

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?

Getting back .Mac Web Galleries after reformat

I've created many .Mac Web Galleries with iPhoto and they've successfully published and appeared in the iPhoto source list.
I reformated, and even after logging into .Mac in System Prefs, the .Mac Web Galleries do not display in my iPhoto source list. They are all there if I go to iPhoto's preferences.
How do I get my .Mac Web Galleries back into the source list?

Never mind. Apparently you have to click "Check Now" in iPhoto preferences to force an update.

IWeb not seeing .Mac web galleries

I just bought Aperture 2.0 in favor of iPhoto. I published a .Mac web gallery via Aperture 2.0 to my .Mac gallery, and fired up iWeb to reference the gallery, but Insert > .Mac Web Gallery shows "No albums or movies available".
The web gallery works just fine. I'm looking at it right now in Safari.
Anyone know why that would happen?

Please when I try to publish my site appears the follow message:
PUBLISH ERROR
Can’t create the file “13Prof._Evandro_faz_conferência_na_Universidade_Iagueiloniana,_Cracóvia,_sobre_Cul tura_de_Comunicação,_Diálogo_Multicultural_e_Não-violência:_a_Transformação_dos_ Jogos_de_Sentido_Através_da_Ascendência_Cidadã_Não-violentasobr.js.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
And when I delete this file and try to publish again the same msg appears refering another file...
My disk is nott full and I don't know what is happening.
Thanks, Evandro, from Brazil.

Doubt concerning licence - generating web galleries with Bridge CS4

Hi, I would like to know if I could generate web galleries with Bridge CS4 and place them in web pages which I intend to sell? There is a possibility to generate web galleries in Bridge CS4. Can I place any of them to a web page which I want to sell?

Why do you even doubt it?
If you use a brush and a bucket of paint to create a for-sale sign and sell that sign to your neighbor to stick in his lawn, would you be asking the manufacturers of the paint and of the brush if you can sell it your sign commercially?
Come on, get real.
As long as you are not giving away copies of the software or pieces of its code, Bridge and Photoshop are just tools.

Is .mac as good with aperture as it claims to be with iPhoto?

HI,
All my photos are in aperture. I now see that the latest .mac integrates with iPhoto really well creating beautiful web galleries. Does Aperture create web galleries just like this, or will I be stuck with the ones created inside aperture.
Also how well does aperture work with iWeb.
Thanks.

In short, no it doesn't. But remember that these products tend to leapfrog over each other, so I'd expect the next version of Aperture to have all the bells and whistles of the new iphoto, plus more.
For iWeb, and all other iLife apps, Aperture's previews can be accessed directly from within the programs, via File>Show Aperture Library or something like that. But you've got to have previews turned on or there's nothing to see. That's why I turn on previews, and at a resolution equal to my larger screen (the cinema 20"), which gives more than enough resolution for iPhoto (for use in galleries et al.), iWeb, iDVD, etc. But it does bother me that I have to import this stuff into iPhoto in order to set up those galleries, thus using more disk space than I'd really like.
So at present, I use both.

.Mac Web Gallery from Aperture 2.0

For some reason the galleries posted from Aperture 2.0 aren't showing up in iWeb's Web Widget list. Anyone else experiencing this?
I do have all the latest updates, including the iLife update.

I must apologise. I jumped the gun here and this is definitely NOT working.
I had been testing this out with galleries from iPhoto and Aperture and got myself in a little mess.
Let's hope it is fixed soon.
I hope it will as they definitely fixed syncing of Aperture web galleries between 2 Aperture libraries so I think the chances are promising.

Creating Web Galleries in Aperture 3

Does anyone know of any third party web gallery plug-ins for Aperture? The standard templates are very limiting and I need to add logos and far more information than is currently supported. Currently I am exporting the jpegs from Aperture and importing them into Lightroom to create web galleries - which seems a little long winded.
Thanks,
JB

Okay, got it sorted out.
If you look at my screen shot, by default it created a "Web Gallery", because that is what I selected originally. I believe this will be a common occurance given the fact that "web gallery" means something different now. Why the need for the change? The should have called the new "web gallery", "publish to .mac"...It will save a lot of frustration given the new default behavior.
Going back to the "untitled project" I created as a test lets me now create a web page when I do a "new from selection".
This is a great example of when you go and change features under a feature name, it stinks from a user perspective.
None the less, they did nothing to improve the html templates...
problem solved.

Using captions (or, hiding file names) for Web Gallery with Aperture 2.0

Is there a way to add captions to pictures displayed using the Aperture 2.0 web gallery without changing the actual file name? I'd like to keep the file name but add a caption to each photo if possible.
Thanks

Hi John
I'm not making extra versions for this, just using the version name as the name in the web gallery. If you are not already using the version name then it lends itself to web gallery naming nicely. If you are using version names already, perhaps reconsider how necessary this is to you as you are tying up this other potential use.
My file names all contain a date and index number but I try and use more 'user friendly' version names if part of my final output will be for web galleries. This is good for clients as they don't have complicated names to order, but it's also a cinch to find the files using the search bar in Aperture.
Hope this helps

.Mac web galleries

Anyone figure out what ATV 2 wants when it asks for info regarding .Mac web gallery?
the URL?
the name of the gallery?
my .mac user name?
not frustrated, just excited!

I'm confused. When I used iPhoto to publish a gallery to .mac, it finished the task and told me that my gallery is at http://gallery.mac.com/myfirstname.mylastname#100013. I can't find a way to get Apple TV to "see" that gallery. Any advice on what I should enter?
This is not a very Apple-like experience. My experience with Apple has always been that their applications were easy and intuitive. This doesn't seem to be.

Event invitations not published to .mac web page with rest of calendar

I've published a calendar to the .mac web server successfully, and the web page for the named calendar shows up fine in browsers at the appropriate URL.
However, when I receive an invitation from somebody else, and accept it, and put it into that (published) calendar, that event does NOT get published to the web page. Any idea why?
Example
- Joe uses Google Calendar to invite me to a meeting
- Google calendar sends me a .ics file in email
- I open the .ics file (click in Apple Mail, which launches iCal)
- I view the invitation in iCal; then change the status to "Accepted" (from Invited), and change the Calendar for this event to the Calendar I've published on .mac
- (iCal properly notifies Joe via a reply .ics via email that I've accepted)
- iCal is properly updating my schedule on .mac for all other events besides this meeting invitation; but the meeting invitation does not get pushed to the .mac web page for my calendar
Item of note: In this use case, I am NOT the event Organizer; somebody else is. Is this why iCal doesn't do it? Or is there something I'm not setting correctly in iCal? Or...?
This renders .mac-web-published calendars effectively useless, since a good share of my calendar is made up of people who email me .ics invitations, and (for various reasons) the person who manages my schedule has to use the .mac web UI for my calendar to know when she can dish out my time. (She doesn't actually put things in my schedule; just allots time.)

Uploading Web Galleries with Adobe Bridge or Lightroom?

Greetings,
I'm new at this and I'm tyring to upload a web gallery with Lightroom 4.1 or Adobe Bridge CS6. I asks me for a FTP Server user name and password on both applications. I do have the Creative Cloud Services which allows me to host up to 5 websites using Business Catalyst, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

I would recommend enabling and getting things setup on the Business Catalyst side next for the web hosting. Once you get site established you should be able to FTP your content there.
These might help get you started.

Upload form problems on Mac web server with PHP

First time using a mac web server and I'm having a heck of a time getting a simple upload form to work in this environment. The errors I'm receiving are:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/Library/WebServer/Documents/mydirectory/content/mwm/) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Is a directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents/mydirectory/umin/uploadContent.php on line 66
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/private/var/tmp/php1pRrx5' to '/Library/WebServer/Documents/mydirectory/content/mwm/' in /Library/WebServer/Documents/mydirectory/umin/uploadContent.php on line 66
Usually this problem is resolved by changing permissions on the directory receiving the upload. I've already done that, and set the permissions to 777, though the problem still persists.
I'm basically defining my upload directory, and then moving the file thereafter:
define('UPLOAD_DIR', '/Library/WebServer/Documents/mydirectory/content/'. $category . '/');
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'], UPLOAD_DIR);
The rest of the script, without the move execution, works properly. Any help would be appreciated.

BAH!
I had forgotten to add the name of the file to the move command:
Fix here:
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedFile']['tmp_name'], UPLOAD_DIR.$file);
Thanks.
