MobileMe Web Gallery has 0 KB photos in iPhoto

Hi gang,
Some friends uploaded some pics to a Mobile Me web gallery that I set up using iPhoto. Some of the pics are the right file size on the web site, but are only zero KB when I look at the photo in the MobileMe section of iPhoto.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. See if that will correct the problem.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photos uploaded to my Web Gallery show up where in iPhoto??

I created a Web Gallery and asked my family to add to it - which they have done. I see the photos in iPhoto under the 'MOBILEME GALLERY' in the sidebar - but they are not in any of the Events. When I try to manually add the photo, it says it's already in the library?!!?
I have tried labeling the photos and then finding them via an iPhoto search, but they just aren't there.
Where does iPhoto put photos added via Web Gallery??

Yes - that was one of the 1st things I tried. I also gave the photos specific keywords only used on those photos, "yellow" for example. Searching photos for any photo having the keyword "yellow" shows no results.
If I right click on the photos in the MOBILEME GALLERY sidebar of iPhoto and click 'Show File' - it opens a folder named 'Jan 18, 2008', and the photos are sitting there.
Dragging the actual files to a new gallery gives the same warning, that the files are already in the library.

Removing a web gallery album, even after the iphoto album has been deleted.

I have just created an Album of photos in iphoto, and then published the album to the web gallery. I was able to view the album via the web and my wife did too on a windows based laptop. I then went back to add 2 more photos to the album in iphoto, then again went back to see if they were uploaded too. One was and one wasnt, then the second one did after a couple of minutes. Now I have deleted the albums I created in iphoto, but I still have the link to go to the web gallery site and the album is still online with 24 photos. How can I remove the photos from my online gallery.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I'm still in honeymoon stage but of course loving my new imac. and .mac account.

I think your best bet is to post your questions on the iPhoto discussions. More people will see them there.
I have been using the web albums for some time. I have merely started iPhoto, then select the web gallery album you wish to delete. Click on the "Web Gallery" icon located at the bottom right hand side of the window. When it opens click on "advanced". You will see the option to hide the gallery on the web.
Now you should be able to go back to the album in iPhoto and delete it.

Multiple Headings on MobileMe web Gallery through iPhoto?

Basically, all I want to know is, can I have more than one "Albums" listing on my web gallery. It doesn't seem like it, but I'm a very new Mac user so I thought I'd ask here.
I'd like to be able to customize:
Albums, Work Portfolio, Illustrations, etc -- is this possible?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can have multiple web galleries. You create each web gallery independently and publish and they will all have separate URLs but all will be listed under your overall gallery like I have here. If desired you can password protect a gallery or have it isolated from the others so when you send a visitor to see it via its unique URL they cannot get to the other galleries.

Web Gallery not showing up in iPhoto

I've set up multiple albums through the web gallery feature and successfully synced them to my .mac account. The problem: one particular gallery shows up on the .mac account but not in iPhoto anymore so there is no way to manage it/add to it/delet it??
thanks

Jim:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By not showing up do you mean the gallery is no longer listed in under the Gallery section on the left of the pictures in the gallery are showing a blank window with an "!" in the middle?
Do you Twango?

Web Gallery constantly duplicating photos...

I've made a fully open web gallery and have had 1 person so far contribute photos to the gallery. This person has sent 1 e-mail to the web gallery mail and the photos were published imediately. Around 60 photos in total.So far so good.
This morning I checked the gallery and had 250 photos... cool more uploads I thought. Wrong. The photos are duplicating themselves every few minutes!! My photos are fine, but the person who sent the e-mail with photos, the photos keep duplicating and triplicating etc.
I'm constantly erasing photos from the web gallery in order to keep the numbers down!! Tis is extremely anoying! Anybody else seeing this going on?

I'm having the same problem too. I had about 4 pictures in the gallery to start with, then my Dad sent over about 30 via an email and that's when the duplication started. My aunt also sent some over, but hers are not duplicating. I am deleting the dups by going into my idisk/web/sites/gallery/and then the gallery number and just deleting the folders there. I have done that once and now I have 55 pictures in there now but the web page says I have 83, although there are several links that are not displaying any pictures (yet another issue). I'm not sure if directly deleting the files will stop the duplication or not. My dad said he got a strange error back from his email server but just deleted it and can't remember what it said. I can tell you that the dups are happening when he is using his computer just by the dates of the files. He's been on vacation for a week and dups were added the day before he left, and now started back up yesterday and today since he's been back but nothing the week he was gone.

Web gallery is tied to another "iPhoto"

I upgraded the hard drive on my Macbook and got everything back to the way I had it. But when I opened I photo, I noticed that my web gallery wasn't listed. Seems the only way for me to unpublish my current web gallery is reinstall my old hard drive and do it from there. Is there another way to do it, or make the iPhoto on the new hard drive see my current web gallery? I'm sure the same thing happened on with my iWeb as well. Thanks in advance.

BlckChns:
Did you have the .Mac account setup on the MacBook before you copied over the Pictures folder and ran iPhoto on it? Doing so might have let iPhoto recognize the web gallery and kept it. (Guessing here). Are all of the other albums listed along with keywords, etc? Do you have an album in the library with the same photos and name as the gallery?
If you still have access to the older HD and can do another copy, you might try setting up the .Mac account again, move the current iPhoto Library to the desktop and copy the iPhoto Library from the old HD into the Pictures folder on your MacBook. I'd also first download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Now launch iPhoto and see if the library is totally intact.

How do I change the background color to black? I'd like Photoshop's generated web gallery to display photos against a black background.

I can't find a place to change the background to black from white. I'd like Photoshop's automated web gallery feature to show photos against a black background once I open the htm file inside Firefox. I use a Mac with OS 10.6.7 (current) on my 27-in. iMac. Thanks very much

There are often many ways to do things, and c.pfaffenbichler's suggestion above is good.
However, as I'm very fond of Curves, I'd use Image - Adjust - Curves (or Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Curves) myself, and pull the black point of the blue curve up.

.Mac Web Gallery - Limit to photos per gallery?

Is there a limit to how many photos you can have in any one gallery? I've dedicated 5 GB to my .Mac web gallery and have published 10 or so galleries totaling approximately 700 MB. There is one project that I want to make into a gallery that is 307 photos. However EVERY time I try to publish this in Aperture 2 it immediately publishes but always with 0 versions (i.e. photos) inside. In fact it shows in Aperture 2 but on my site it does not even show up as a gallery.
Anyone else experiencing this?
-Keith

Okay thank you Joe. I am trying to figure out why one of my galleries will not publish. It is 307 photos, about 900 MB (original size) and I'm trying to publish optimized photos with 5.2 GB free on .Mac. Very frustrating!!!

Web Gallery help separating photos into 2 collections

Help creating web gallery please. I would like to separate photos in the gallery into 2 different collections or categories. When I set up my web gallery in LR 2.0 and choose the first set of photos, I can name this collection title on the right panel. How can I then set up a second collection with different photos so they both show up in the gallery on the web and a viewer can choose either topic and then view the photos within it? Thanks.
Matthew Kraus

You need to create a master gallery page and link to the pages within. There is no automatic way to do this.
There are 3rd party options: LRB Portfolio (disclaimer: mine), Auto Index from The Turning Gate will do this with Galleries from the Turning Gate.

IMovie has dragged photo from iPhoto too far off screen that I cant find it

I have opened a logo within the iMovie viewer screen that had so much black around it that I couldn't figure out which way to drag the photo to find the small logo surrounded by black. After so much dragging around I am not sure which way I need to drag the photo around within the iMovie viewer to have it centered, much less even visible. Apparently, iMovie saves that setting. Now even when I open completed projects where the photo was centered it is not showing it. I think it has the photo so far off to the left, right, below or above that it won't find any of them. I have tried zooming in and out with the photo settings in iMovie. Still nothing. I tried using other pictures very large or very small but am afraid that I dragged the first one around which was about 30" x 30" with the logo only occupying about 4" in the center that I have moved the center too far off the axis that it would be occupying the theoretical space several feet off the center of the viewer and have no idea which way to drag it to get it back into the center. Hope that makes sense.

Hey,
Thanks for the quick response. I am trying to bring a logo from a near pinpoint using Ken Burns effect to as big as I can before I transition to a bumper. I did this once before and had the same problem. I finally found the center of the picture/logo by moving it around, trial and error and luck. I have tried to use known good images in place of the logo that went black and it seems they are all showing black as if they are all so far off center they only show black. I have opened finished projects where it shows a similar logo effect and when I go to 'edit photo settings' in the completed project it the image goes (or shows) black.
Now, any project I go to I can't bring in any picture from iPhoto without it showing just black. If you try using a photo in iMovie from iPhoto and put it off center, it seems the next time you try using another one it's starting point is just as far off center (the same point) as the last one that was moved around.
Not sure if I explained that correctly.

Index.html created by Bridge Web Gallery has VBGetSwfVer error

I'm running CS6 under Win7 and IE9. I have used Bridge to create a web gallery but when I try and execute the generated index.html file I get a (script?) error:
Clicking eather Yes or No has no impact - just a blank screen.
I have not modified the generated index.html. Also, it does not matter if I have used CS5 or CS6. The generated file works elsewhere (at college Win7, CS5) so it has to be something to do with a setting on my PC but what?
I have reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I have the correct add-on enabled:
What's wrong?
Line 116 reads: versionStr = VBGetSwfVer(i);
The function is defined on line 55+"
Function VBGetSwfVer(i)
on error resume next
Dim swControl, swVersion
swVersion = 0
set swControl = CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." + CStr(i))
if (IsObject(swControl)) then
swVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version")
end if
VBGetSwfVer = swVersion
End Function
I'm stumped - help please.

Hi Mike,
glad you got it working. I did take a look at this page:

and this page:

I know you said you moved foldes around until it started working - that's a bit drastic and lucky that none of your links got broken :-)
Back to the folder names. You should never use upper case NOR use spaces when naming folders or files. You may end up with browser incompatibilityand some servers can choke if type of naming convention is used. Also some hosts don't support upper case,(linux in particular),. It's best to use lower case at all times and if you need a space use an underscore or hyphen instead. eg: custom-business-card-designs/
Now if you want to go and rename any folders or files, fo it all via the Dreamweaver File Panel, so that DW can keep track of what you're changing, so that you don't get broken links.
Actually now that you mentioned moving folders etc., are you working in a Defined Dreamweaver Site? That's the very first thing you need to set up when starting a new project in Dreamweaver:
Define a site:

Hope some of this helps :-)

Can iPhoto autosync to MobileMe web gallery or not?

I can't seem to get a straight answer to this. I'm using iLife 11. I was told to go to settings then web tab and check auto for check for newly published photos but there is no web tab in the preferences for iphoto11. If I upload an album to gallery and later on add photos to that album will those photos auto sync to my gallery or do I have to drag them into the gallery under my web albums manually?

Picasa is a fine app - not the same as iPhoto but similar. It has some extra bells and whistles nd is missing a few too. However, if you want to use Picasa you're best to forget iPhoto. Apple have created a number of ways for third party apps to access the iPhoto Library. Google's Picasa uses none of them. It hacks the library. It can lead to damage.

How can I upload high resolution photos to MobileMe Web Gallery

Since upgrading to the latest iPhoto edition when I upload photos to MobileMe many of them appear as KB rather than their original MB, even though I choose the highest setting in Advanced before publishing. I did not have this probelm with earlier versions of iPhoto. Paul

Further to my last post, when iPhoto commences uploading, it says uploading thumbnails, despite me checking the "actual size" option. Can anyone advise how to get full resolution photos on MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto '11?

MobileMe Web Gallery has 0 KB photos in iPhoto
