Publish web gallery to a different .mac account

Hi Friends.
Can I publish web galleries to both of my .mac accounts from the same Mac?
It seems like I might have to create a different user account on the MAc itself and make the other .mac account the default for that different user. I would really rather not do that, as I have one iPhoto library with all of my photos for every aspect of my life and work.
Thanks for any guidance.

To make is more convenient to do that you could create a second user account, set it up for the other .Mac account and publish from there. You could either use two separate libraries or put your library on an external HD so both account could use it without ownership/permissions issues.
You can also set up fast user switching so you wouldn't have to log out of one account to get to the other.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to publish from iWeb to two different .mac accounts

my household has two separate .macs account and we want to publish from iWeb to the two different accounts which I cannot figure out. thanks

I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2 (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2). I named one "Domain de.sites2", and the other "Domain daru.sites2". Then I opened daru's site and deleted de's, then I opened de's and deleted daru's, and I have two separate sites (with aliases in the dock) that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
If it works, it saves the hassle of creating other user accounts, since only my wife and I use the computer. Right now, .Mac is telling me I can't create a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID (and a two month free trial account she had to agree to, to join the group) for a group site I manage. I don't think she ought to be required to have a separate identity every time she logs into .Mac.

How should I upload a LR Web Gallery to my dot mac account

I want to create some galleries in my Iweb site using Light room. what should I fill in to the drop down box for the hosting site url. I ultimately want to call in the galleries from a Freeway 5 Pro generated site that will be the visitor interface. Would it be better to export the files and and them move them into a folder on my IWeb site?

To upload directly from LR you will need to enter the standard details for any FTP client which your hosting service should provide you, that is the server address (usually ftp.yourwebsitename.com), your user name, password and the folder you wish to upload to.. You can also export the created site and then upload it with a different FTP client if you wish and you may find this better as the built in client in LR does have a few problems on some set ups. However you will still require the same details.

Using a different .Mac account in iPhoto

We have a .Mac family pack. My wife and I each have a personal account and we would like to use a completely different .Mac account to post our web galleries, but I don't want to have to create a new user on my Mac just to use iPhoto. Is there a way that iPhoto can use a different .Mac account than the one associated with my user account on my computer to publish galleries?
Thanks,
Aaron

I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

IWeb and uploading to a different .mac account

where do I set the settings for the specific .mac account I want the web published to?
I have 2 .mac accounts and I would like to post to both .

I suspect that this is controlled by whatever details are provided in the Account pane for .Mac in System Preferences.

Publishing web gallery without .Mac

Hello,
I finally have my portfolio all set up the way that I want it and would like to publish it. I don't want to have to use .Mac (and since it's replaced by MobileMe now). Is there a way that I can publish this portfolio using a free hosting server?
Thanks!
-Will

Will,
In Aperture, Web Pages or Web Journals can be uploaded to any host site. The Web Gallery function, however, is limited to .Mac use; this is due to functions that are performed on the server and which are specific to .Mac.

Publish to a different .mac account?

I would like to publish to another .mac account which I own. Is it possible?
Sal

A simple answer: yes
An explanation. You can do that if you haqve the login and password for this account. So, you can change or create another user in your machine and in his/her system preferences fill in the login and password and you'll have access to publish to this user
or
open this user idisk from menubar (go -> idisk) and enter the login and pass.
done!

Web Gallery Posting from Different iPhoto 7.0.1 Libraries

I use the program iPhoto Library Manager so that I can have more than one iPhoto library -- one for cooking, one for the garden, one for a travel trip, etc.
I've posted a couple galleries using the "Web Gallery" feature from my cooking iPhoto library. Works fine: both galleries show up on the first page.
Do I understand correctly that if I posted a gallery from, say, the garden iPhoto library, that it would try to synchronize the galleries at dot mac with those in the currently open iPhoto library (garden) and, because the first two galleries were in the cooking library, it would probably delete them?

mbabc:
No, I don't think that would happen. I've posted two galleries, each from a different library. When I posted the second it did not delete the first. It just added the second to the gallery in my .Mac account.
Do you Twango?

Book printing and web exporting from Aperture without .mac account

can I export web logs and have apple books made without a .mac account?

A .Mac account is not required to order iPhoto or Aperture books from Apple or to publish an Aperture gallery to the Internet; in the second case, you will need a webserver to put the gallery on.

Can You Create a Fully-functional Web Gallery for a Non-.Mac Site?

I love the idea of the web galleries that iPhoto '08 uses and would buy iLife '08 for that alone... but I don't have a ,Mac account and don't plan to. I have seen only one mention of this in these discussions, and it was only speculation. So here's the question:
Can iPhoto '08 create web galleries with all the goodies involved--skimming over a gallery to see thumbnails of all the images for example--which will be fully functional on a private, non-.mac web site?
If so, then count me in.

this may seem other than your request, but I have a suggestion:
just buy a darn .Mac account already. Personally, I've grown tired of hearning about how .Mac is unreasonably priced all these years. Well guess what, a basic account now gets you 10 gigs of space for about $90 if you pay the taxes. Thats an additional fee that you feel you shouldn't have to blah, blah, blah. -Sure, you can host to your own .com via iWeb and I'm sure we'll all hear about how to host other things without a .Mac account soon. But just pretend iLife costs an additional $90 and move on. It's worth it once you start to use it and you can say good buy to your concern. again, sorry for the indifference, but you can easily get past your issue. Think of it this way... there are many ways to upgrade to iLife '08 that will save you the same amount of money. If you're that cheap, go that route. If you're reasonable, like the rest of us that understand we need to pay (yes, unfortunately) for Apple's innovation, get on the boat and enjoy the ride.
crucify me if you want... this ends my rant.

Dotmac published web gallery not showing up.

So I have now created 2 web galleries through Aperture 2. One shows up the other does not..
The URL it should be at is http://gallery.mac.com/cbchev68/100191 and it should be called Sushi Hunter.. The other one that is showing up is called Northwind Charters.
Im guessing there is some software bug here. If I go into Aperture -> Web Gallery -> Sushi Hunter. Then in the main window choose Web Gallery -> Visit Web Gallery, it opens Safari with the above URL and I get an error that the gallery does not exist.. What is even more interesting is that if I go into Aperture preferences, web gallery, it only shows the one gallery that actually shows up on the doc mac servers. I have to assume it is querying the dot mac servers for this data, as there is a 5 second lag or so before this list is populated.
Its as though Aperture created the web gallery, but then never actually uploaded the images..
Anyone else seen this?

Well its definitely a software bug, I just created another new album with a slightly different name and it looks like the photos are now uploading and properly showing up.

Modify a published web gallery?

I don't work with web galleries very often but plan to do more in the future.
I've created a web gallery in Aperture and published it to .mac. So far, so good. Now, can someone please explain the steps to making changes to it ? (add or delete an image, edit the title). Page 350 of the help manual talks about making changes. It seems so straightforward, I've got to be missing the obvious!
Also - how do I delete the web pages I no longer want? I thought I did this on my iDisk once before but now I can't figure out how to remove the old webpages.
Thanks, Dave

Dave,
After you add or delete photos from a gallery that you've already created just go ahead and click on the "publish to .mac" button. In the address box that pops up type in the name of the gallery exactly as you did when you first created it. Aperture will then ask you if you wish to update or replace the existing gallery. I've had to do it several times in the past and it works like a charm. Hope this helps.
John

Can you post Web-Gallery to a non .Mac server?

iPhoto 08 and web gallery look pretty neat.
Do you have to post the Web Galleries to .Mac or can you use a different server.
Would like to continue post our college sports photos to our campus (OS X) server using web-gallery.

Jack, I don't think you can post web galleries to a non .Mac server. There seems to be a lot of support behind the scenes that makes Web Gallery work as it does. Normal HTML doesn't work like that.
What you could do, which would bring some of the reflections-on-black look, is send the photos to iWeb and use the export HTML option (not sure what it's called) in the File menu to create a gallery that you could host on a non-.Mac server. It wouldn't look exactly the same but you'd get whatever is possible without the .Mac-supplied functionality.

Publishing Web Gallery on iWeb

Before I decide to upgrade ti iLife 08, I have a question. I have created a web page for our family using iWeb. It includes a photo page and video page. I am very happy with the way it turned out, as it is a good way to post new pictures, videos, and family news for our friends and family to see.
Now comes Web Gallery in iLife 08, which seems easier and quicker to post photos and video on the web, but it kind of defeats one of the main purposes of our iWeb site. Is there a way to link up the Web Gallery site on my current iWeb site? If not, it almost seems that the photo and video pages on my iWeb site will now be obsolete.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim:
I don't have my copy as yet but why not publish the site and use it until you upgrade to iLife 08. Then see if iWeb 2 will work with the older domain.sites file (I would expect it to) and then decide the best way to do what you want.
The new iPHoto 7 has new slick photo and movie presentation capability according to iPhoto's page. Is that what you're referring to?

Any suggestions about why images are not displaying in a published web gallery?

A web gallery generated in Lightroom 3 in 2008 was certainly working correctly when originally published to our (Guernsey Museum) website and still functions correctly from the staging server across our intranet. I have republished it from the staging server (via Dreamweaver) and checked that all the files are present on the live site but still the images refuse to show. The audio associated with the images and the gallery framework itself does work as expected. Another gallery made later and published to the same site works exactly as it should. The ISP cannot explain why one gallery is working properly and the other is not so I'm asking here in desperation if anyone has any insight into possible causes. The (Book of Sark) gallery which doesn't work is here:
http://www.museums.gov.gg/BkSark/gallery/html/index.html
The (Peoples Choice) gallery which does work is here:
http://www.museums.gov.gg/p-choice/index.html
Thanks for reading this far - any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated!

It looks like the Book of Sark gallery has photos in a bin folder. Some servers don't like that, but it could be a clue for the ISP.
