Others subscribing to my Web Gallery

I would like to publish an album in my Web Gallery that can only be accessed by the URL that I give out and not via my Web Gallery home page. I can do this by selecting to "hide album on my Web Gallery page" in the advanced settings. I also want this to be accessible by "everyone" so that I don't have to put an ID and Password on it (by "everyone, I mean those that have the URL address for this specific album).
My question is: If I do this for an album, would people who subscribe to my Web Gallery also get access to this album (since it is viewable by "everyone") or would they need to know the exact URL?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you publish a gallery as you indicated, hidden, visitors to your public web gallery will not see it and have access to it unless they are given the URL by you. Conversely, visitors to the hidden gallery will not have access to the other galleries from that hidden gallery.
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 and Leopard. 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.

  • Others uploading to my web gallery

    I was hoping someone here can help. I have set up a web gallery from imovie, where people can view my movies, but i was hoping that they could also upload to it and put their videos in. I thought this was possible, but for some reason, the upload button does not appear.
    Have i got the wrong end of the stick, and its not actually possible, or am i missing something. If you can shed light on this, that would be great!

    did you make yours in imovie or iphoto?
    You may well be correct here. Test galleries were first duplicated in both applications for comparison purposes in earlier version, later deleted, and re-published by single application with "Upload" option selected to see what it would do. Last month the 2007 photos were archived to DVD and iMovie "events" were deleted (keeping Mini-DV tapes as archives) as part of my annual "Spring Cleaning" effort. All I really remember was being presented with the option to select the "Upload" option and using either a "Browser" and/or "E-Mail" application to allow relatives and "party goers" to add their own files but not one person elected to do so and I stopped including the option.

  • Can't subscribe to Web Gallery from iPhoto 6

    I've created a Web Gallery with iPhoto '08. People can view it from multiple current browsers is OS X and Windows, and can download the individual pictures or the entire album. People with Windows and people with iPhoto '08 can subscribe to the Web Gallery, but people with iPhoto 6 cannot subscribe.
    Subscribing in iPhoto 6 returns an error:
    There is a problem updating the subscription for the Photocast: "Abouaf/Pizante Family Cruise '07." The Photocast cannot be found on the .Mac server.
    Is it possible that the special characters in the name of the Web Gallery (/ and ')are causing aproblem in iPhoto 6? Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?
    Thanks.

    Mike:
    I don't believe that iPhoto 6 supports web galleries. When I tried to subscribed to my web gallery with my iPhoto 6 library it reported that there were no photos in the photocast section of the iDisk. It's looking for a photocast, not a web gallery. They are located in different folders. The galleries in the web/sites/_gallery folder and the photocast in the web/sites/iPhoto folder.
    Do you Twango?

  • How to I get uploaded web gallery photos to auto populate with my events?

    When somebody uploads a photo in my web gallery, it syncs with the web gallery on iPhoto. However, it doesn't sync with the original event on iPhoto. I know I can drag the uploaded photo into the event. However, I have many photos and don't know when somebody has uploaded a photo and to which event in web gallery.
    Is there any way around this?
    Al

    Taking this a step further...
    I identify the photos that someone else has uploaded to my web gallery.
    I select and drag these photos to "Events" in iPhoto, and this creates a new event.
    I drag the new event onto the old event to consolidate the photos.
    I edit the photos I want to keep and delete the rest.
    However, this changes / removes the photos uploaded by the other person in the web gallery. So, what procedure should I have followed to prevent changing / deleting the photos from this person? I would prefer to keep all of the photos in the same event. Will the following work:
    1) Select only the photos that I want
    2) Create duplicates of them in the web gallery
    3) Drag the duplicates to "Events" and consolidate these with my original event
    4) Edit the photos
    Or, is there a better way?

  • Lightroom Web Gallery which Allows Users to Select and Email Their Photo Choices

    Does this exist......
    A gallery option which allows users to click the photos they want, then easily email those photo numbers to a certain email address?
    Thanks!

    I found the error on another thread. You can likely search for the other thread by using "Web Gallery Restore".
    Apple support helped another user resolve the issue in 30 minutes on the phone. The problem is evidently due to the order in which I added the .Mac account to my iPhone vs. applying 1.01 update, vs. iLife 08 update.
    The solution was to Restore my iPhone and then select NEW SETTING (not previous backup settings). Then, I setup my .Mac email address on iPhone. Then publish a new WebGallery in iPhoto 08 and ensure upload privilege is checked. Finally, sync with the Mac which enabled the WebGallery button (yea!) and restored contacts, calendar and other email accounts.
    The only thing not retained was my wallpaper, usage statistics, and notes (none of these are a big deal).

  • Importing photos others have uploaded to my web gallery into my library

    My web galleries seem to be working great...a few people have uploaded their own photos and they have synched down to my web galleries. But what is the best way to import my friends' photos into my iPhoto library? I want them to appear in my Events, not just under the Web Gallery section.
    I tried to select my friends photos and copy them to my library and it didn't look like it worked, so I tried again. Then I noticed that all of a sudden I had 100 photos in my web gallery, when I only uploaded 20 and my friend added another 10. There were several duplicates of each.
    Help! What's the best way to do this? Thanks for any help!

  • Why can't others open my imovie posted on my web gallery?

    I created a webpage thru iWeb, and have created a hyper-link to an imovie I uploaded to web gallery. Several people I know have had trouble viewing the movie from my web gallery. Some have received a message, "you must install Safari to open". I thought that any computer could open the movie (MAC or IBM)? Why are some having trouble opening the imovie from my webgallery? It opens up on my computer from hyper-link just fine... My webpage address is //web.me.com/nicolewillis2 ... go under 'minute maid' link and click the soccer ball.. Please help

    What format is your movie? I had trouble with it playing - very slow and therefore not streaming well. Did you compress for the web? I must admit I am no expert when it comes to movies but mine are exported for the web using Quicktime Pro or compressed using Visual Hub. I am using Firefox 2.
    Just tried in Safari and it is marginally better but some frames are dark and can't be seen very well.

  • Web Gallery-Surprising Differences between Safari and Firefox

    I discovered some surprising differences using Web Gallery in Safari vs. Firefox:
    1. When you first view an album the gallery, the thumbnail photos take quite a bit longer to be visible in Safari than in Firefox.
    2. When rolling the mouse over the Subscribe icon in Safari, a message states, "Add this album to iPhoto." In Firefox, the message states, "Subscribe to an RSS feed of this album."
    3. When a movie is selected in Safari, you can download it immediately, though the movie is not playable from the Safari page until it fully loads. In Firefox, if you click the download icon before the movie has fully loaded, a message appears that states, "QuickTime is unable to play this movie. Please try again. Then, a window opens asking what to do with the file you are trying to download -- Save it, or Launch QuickTime. If you wait until the movie is fully loaded, it plays within the Firefox page. If, after it's loaded, you leave the page and then go back to that page, the movie won't load again and play within Firefox, but it can be downloaded.
    I'm wondering whether these differences in functionality are typical or just occurring on my Mac, so please document your experience here.

    Thanks Denes for your reply.
    I use HttpWatch tool to measure the loading times. Reports are mostly the same for IE and FF. I can see from the report, there is three times shown error 404 Not Found for the items below.

The next action http://......../i/libraries/jquery-ui/1.8.22/ui/i18n/oracle/jquery.ui.datepicker-cs.js started after 38 seconds (hanging in the same place for 36 seconds). Does it mean that the problem is caused by http://......./images/sReportBG-Standard.png action which returns 404 error?

  • Questions about web gallery in iWeb - advise please

    I have succesfully republished my old iWeb with iWeb 08, but would like to have some advice before I experiment further. The iWeb Help says I can add a web gallery to iWeb using either "insert>web gallery", or a Web Widget. Can anyone explain the difference to me?
    My one Web Gallery has the neat new "carousel" effect and the other properties of this new function. Will any new photo albums that I publish directly from iWeb also have these properties, or are they unique to "web gallery"? The photo albums that I have republished with the new iWeb have the "download" and "subscribe" functions, but not the "carousel" and other niceties of Web Gallery. Thank you.

    There are two completely separate types of gallery, one being the .Mac web gallery and the other being the ones that you make in iWeb.
    Where iWeb mentions the "insert" or "Web Widget" it just means there two ways of doing the same thing. If you use the 'Insert' menu or the 'Web Widget' button you are able to choose one of your web galleries and insert an animated thumbnail which cycles through previews of your photos in that particular album. A visitor to your page is able to click on it to visit the specific album.
    So there you have it, you can either build photo albums in iWeb without some of the fancy Web Gallery features or you can use the .Mac Web Gallery. The iWeb albums will be tightly integrated with iWeb and your pages but you can still integrate the .Mac Web Gallery to a certain degree by using the 'Insert' or 'Web Widget' options.
    I personally plan to use both iWeb Albums and .Mac Web Gallery as they both have their merits for different projects I'm working on.

  • Downloaded Web Gallery Photos ? (Confused)

    I'm using iPhoto '06. When I subscribe to a friend's Web Gallery ( created with iPhoto '08) the photos are d/l'd into a smart folder in my source list. Two questions: 1. Why are the movies from his digital still camera not d/l'd as well into this folder ? 2. Once d/l'd into the smart folder, why can't I then move these photos into my Library ?
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Terence,
    The problem is this: Once the particular web gallery is subscribed to using iPhoto '06, the pictures show up in a folder with the Photocast logo in MY source list. These photos are then not automatically added to the Source lists' Library, they only appear in the Photocast folder. I cannot select all and then drag and drop these photos into my Library. My question is why ?
    For example: Should the owner of the gallery decide to delete the gallery, I no longer have those photos as the Photocast folder will disappear and I have never had the ability to put them in my Library.
    (All permisssions have been granted by the creator), that's not the problem.

  • Hiding options in the web gallery in iWeb?

    How do I hide the options in the web gallery in my iWeb? I want people to see my images but dont want to show the Download or the Subscribe buttons.
    Is there anyway to turn these off.
    I'm using iWeb 8 and have a mobileme account

    Just to be clear, I inserted the photos from my MobileMe Gallery homepage and not from iphoto.
    Sorry, the above isn't particularly clear to me. By "MobileMe Gallery homepage" do you mean via http://me.com or http://gallery.me.com/membername ?
    Into which iWeb template did you insert your photos? ...For example, the Photos page template or the +My Albums+ page template, etc.
    How exactly did you insert the photos from your MobileMe Gallery homepage? ...Did you click on the Web Widgets button in iWeb's lower toolbar and select +MobileMe Gallery+ and an +Album name+ ?
    If you don't mind providing the URL of your iWeb page and MobileMe Gallery, we can then see what you're referring to.

  • Iphoto 6 and web gallery question

    I'm a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds stupid. I have iphoto 6 and have successfully made photo pages, but I can't figure out how to start a web gallery. (I want other people to be able to upload their photos.) I've tried looking at tutorials & stuff but they all have to do with iphoto '08. Am I just blind? I haven't subscribed yet to .mac, I'm still in the trial, does that make a difference? I'd appreciate any help,

    I was referring to the customer reviews of ilife '08 on the Apple website. You're right though, most of the negativity was regarding iMovie 7, and the majority of the iPhoto complaints were about their current published photo pages being "all messed up". That doesn't bother me so much because I want to start over with a new web gallery anyway. Also, a guy I talked to said that he was having trouble with iPhoto 7 and his photoshop work. (Like I said, I'm new to this, so my feeble brain lost the exact terminology he used.) I think I will trust what you say though and go ahead and buy it just because it looks so **** pretty. Thank you for your help!

  • IPhoto / Web Gallery / Subscriptions

    Having only recently gotten round to playing with web galleries.
    I processed one of my albums into a web gallery (I think). It appeared online in 'My Gallery'. OK.
    But recently I made another web gallery. This one has appeared under the heading 'WEB GALLERY' in iPhoto, whereas the first one appears under 'SUBSCRIPTIONS'.
    How have I managed this? Is it possible to subscribe to your own galleries? If so, where is my 'web gallery' version hiding?
    Driving me mad.
    And don't get me started on the fact that I can't delete the Web Gallery in MobileMe.

    Steve:
    Yes it's possible to subscribe to your own gallery. However, be careful as that may replace the original files with those uploaded to the gallery and they will be smaller depending on what you set up. Check it out carefully, i.e. the original files, to make sure you have full sized versions of them. You might even make temporary duplicates of them, delete the subscription, and see if the first originals are still in the library. If so then delete the subscription and check the originals again. If they are there then you can delete the copies and create a new gallery.

  • Web Gallery Questions

    Sometimes, when I add photos to my Web Gallery, they remain in perpetual pending mode and never actually show up on the Web gallery, even though they are in my iPhoto Web Gallery Album. I can't seem to solve this unless the only answer is to delete and reload the entire web gallery??? I have deleted the pending photos and reloaded them but they stay in pending mode forever and never show up on the actual web gallery.
    How do I, as the owner of my gallery, access photos other users have uploaded and edit them, such as editing the title? I do not see these new photos in my web gallery album in iphoto despite them showing up when I go to the gallery via the browser.
    Can you upload, as a visitor to some else's web gallery from your own iPhoto or do you have to drag the photo out to the desktop so you can access it from the upload dialog. The upload dialog does not seem to have a photo browser, just as normal open dialog.

    Mark:
    I don't have an answer to your problem but do want to warn you against subscribing to your gallery to get those added photos. If you do you'll be in danger of replacing your full sized original files with the 800 x 600 files that the gallery uses.

  • Web-Gallery behaving strange: multiple pictures inside!

    Just having subscribed to MobileMe, I am trying iPhotos Web-Gallery feature for the first time. But I am experiencing some strange behaviour: When selecting a number of pictures and creating a Web Gallery, the pictures upload perfectly. In the gallery on the Web I see the right number of pictures. Every pic is there just once - as it should be. But in iPhoto's appropriate Web Gallery folder, some of the pictures have miracleously multiplicated, I see two, three or even five identical pics there.
    I have no idea why this is happening. It' not happening with all of the Web Gallery albums in iPhoto, just one. I deleted it, created it new from scratch, gave it a different name ... all to no avail. Still I see multiple identical pictures inside iPhoto's web gallery folder.
    Any idea?
    OS X 10.5.4 & iPhoto 08 (7.1.3)

    it used to be that this only appeared to occur if you made modifications to a web gallery while it was updating - if you have made changes during an update that may be it
    It also is possible that the switch to mini me or mobile me or what ever it is created some new issues - this is the first I've heard with the set up
