Published photos don't link

I published some photos a few days ago and shared them with people who needed to see them.   But the link fails every time they or I try it.
When we go to http://web.me.com/pbrazee/Site/Zoo_day_2011-09-02.html ,
Every day, I get the following in many languages:
Looking for something on MobileMe?
We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again.
MobileMe Login |                                    MobileMe Support |                                                                                                Learn more...
I also noticed for the first time, that these albums are different from my albums on http://gallery.me.com/pbrazee .
I suppose I need to start preparing for when Mobile.Me is replaced.   At least, I'd like to combine these galleries.
How do I access the first gallery and share them again?

The iWeb photo page and iPhoto galleries are two separate entities. To get the same photos in iWeb that you have in the galleries you'll need to create new iWeb photo pages and add the same photos that you put in the galleries.
Since MobileMe is being discontiued on June 30, 2012, you will need to find a new hosting service to publish your iWeb photo pages to. Then you can continue to create iWeb photo pages or iWeb album pages to share your photos with others.
It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. 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
All of these issues 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.

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.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 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 already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
A good 3rd party hosting service is HostExcellence.com. It offers a package for #3.95/mo (2 year committment) that offers 1 free domain name, unlimited storage and bandwidth, multiple email addresses and more. AND it has excellent 24/7, ear-to-ear, customer support.

IWeb 08 Published Photo Links Not Working

Hello,
I've recently switched over to iWeb 08 and really dig all the new functions. I am running into one spot of trouble and hope that someone might shed some light on it for me.
I've got a few images that I use as hyperlinks rather than text. The hyperlinks are fully functional while in iWeb and everything is fine in the inspector window, yet when I publish the site, the links are no longer operational.
Anyone have a quick fix for this one? As the images are thumbnails which point towards the full-size image, using text is not an option in this case.
Thanks in advance!
~Lola

I publish to my desktop, then use Fetch to upload the files to my host at netrfirms.

The non-functioning thumbnail links are at:

I just noticed that some of the text links are inoperable as well, altho they check out fine in iWeb itself - seems kind of random.
The text links that no longer work are at:

Drag and Drop to photo page creates links, doesn't replace placeholders

I searched the discussions for quite a while and didn't find much similar to this topic. Basically, drag and drop is no longer working on my iWeb and my photo grids will not accept pictures to replace the placeholder (sample) photos. I will try to explain the whole problem in detail.
I am a new iWeb user, and I set up a page without any problems at first. Yet when I returned in iWeb to add another photo page today, I have had a lot of trouble. I used the template Photo Page and opened the Inspector and the Media Viewer to drag photos onto the placeholder photos, as the Help pages and tutorials show. Yet when I drag the picture file from the Media Viewer into the photo grid, only a small text box appears that sets up a hyperlink to the photo file on my computer. I've tried messing with the inspector, seeing what the difference is between the placeholder photos' settings and the files I'm trying to add.
The only differences I can see are: in the Link Inspector's pane I can tell the program is at first making a hyperlink to the file instead of displaying the photo (yet disabling the hyperlink doesn't change anything); also,
In the Graphic Inspector pane that appears when I have selected a general area in the photo grid, at the top the "Style" , "Layout" and "Caption" options appear, along with a display of a sample photo style. When I click on one of the rectangles that appears with the file I am trying to drag and drop, I have only the "fill" option, which has "none" selected. Fiddling with the options does not get the photo to appear.
I can see the blue grid surrounding the placeholder photos, so the photo grid exists. I have also tried using different templates' photo pages, but they all have the same problem. I also tried creating an album in iPhoto and importing it to iWeb, but only two photos appeared out of 12.
So the main part of my problem is not that photos don't appear at all (if I try and insert them they appear on their own, completely independant of the template's style and the photo grid)., it is that they do not work with the photo grid and that drag-and-drop no longer works.
Any information that could help is greatly appreciated.
Sue

Susan,
Try out the following things. These suggestions are
sort of the starting point for non-specific strange
behavior in iWeb.
1. Delete iWeb preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Users/yourname/Users/Library/Preferences
/"com.apple.iWeb.plist"
2. Delete iLife Media Browser preference file at:
YourHardDrive/Library/Preferences/"com.apple.iLifeMedi
aBrowser.plist"
3. Repair startup disk permissions using Disk
Utility
4. Reboot machine
5. Delete iWeb application (but keep a backup of the
Domain file!) and reinstall iWeb 1.0 from original
iLife'06 DVD or Recovery Disks and then update
directly to 1.1.1 via Software Update.
These are the top 5 things that seem to garner some
kind of positive results from people having similar
problems.
I am having the same problem Susan described. I've tried #1 and #2 from the above recommendations and still have the same problem of photos not opening in the photo page after dragging them from iphoto. I, too, published a site (not on .Mac, but I don't know if that matters) and now want to add a photo page. Also, the template shows six placeholders, but when I select the photo page only three appear.
Hope you can help. Thank you.

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

Can't see device photos in Blackberry Link

I have tried several times to copy photos from my Z30 to my PC using blackberry link, but the photos don't display in Link. When I click the pictures icon, it says that there are no pictures in my picture library, which is not the case. I was able to complete a device backup using Link, so that feature of the software appears to be working. However, would like to be able to tranfer device photos to my PC. Any thoughts on what to do? Thanks.

Without using Link, connect yourZ30 to the PC.
On your PC, click on My Computer.

Publish Photo refuses to work

Hi all, I've done a bit of troubleshooting and still cannot resolve this issue. I was trying to load an iphone photo to my mobileme gallery today and it would not work, would not connect. It would give me the following message:
"Check your MobileMe name and password in settings."
I did so, even deleting my password and re-entering it. Got the same message. Checked my mail on the phone and that worked. So, it is connecting somehow. Read this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1672
Tried to do the locate, after enacting "push" (which I never use per battery drainage concerns) and that did not work. Could not locate my phone. Turned off the wi-fi I was on in my office, trying to get it through via 3G. So, it actually let me get to the publish page at this point, HOWEVER, at the bottom in the account section, it just perpetually reads "loading." Never actually connects. Went back to mail again...again it was able to retrieve mail. The password that lets me into my mail is working, and should be the same password across the board, so why am I suddenly having issues with publishing to mobile me? I did restart the phone. That didn't resolve the issue. I've tried all I can, still no joy. It does connect, and pull mail, when in mail on my mobile me account, so what gives with publishing. I cannot get it to connect either on 3G or wifi. Just constantly get "Unable to connect to MobileMe" when trying to upload a photo. Oh, and this has worked in the past, if that matters. I have a whole gallery of successfully published iPhone photos. Any clues? Thanks.

Allan, deleting the account worked. It was weird however. When I first reset it, tried to reestablish the account on the phone, it set it up, but showed the account "inactive." So, that was certainly an unanticipated surprise. I did some searching and found a number of people who also had .mac accounts show as "inactive" on their phone and had to go through the process of setting up a new password. I did so on .mac, deleted the account on the phone again, then re-established it with the new password and suddenly it worked. And not only did it work, but publishing photos to mobileme worked as well. That whole process doesn't seem to make any sort of sense, but after some hurdles, it's now working. Thanks!

IPhoto 11: how to reveal shared/published photos in bulk?

How can I reveal, easily and quickly, which photos... out of thousands... have been shared/published?
The only place I can find that info is in the side bar, but publication information appears for only one photo at a time. I have to go through my libraries in bulk.
I have a couple massive iPhoto 11 libraries (+35,000 photos and videos, in each) on two Macs.
(I have a couple of young kids... there are a lot of family photos.)
These libraries each exceed 300 gb, and the computers are groaning under the weight... at this point, iPhoto isn't performing any better than iTunes.
I have back ups, but I want to reduce these libraries to managable sizes... once.
Because iPhotos syncs with flickr and facebook, I don't want to accidentally delete shared/published photos.
At the moment, my working solution is a smart list that excludes renamed and edited photos, and renaming unwanted photos to easily identify and delete in bulk, but it's not a perfect solution.
Many thanks.

There is no easy way do do what you want. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Rather than renameing those photos bound for the Trash bin try using a keyword or flag them. Adding a keyword to multiple photos at one time is rather easy: select the photos, type Command+K to bring up the Keyword pane and click on the keyword you want to add.
I don't know what success you've had in deleting large qualtities of photos at one time but be aware many have problems with large deletions. The general reponse to those that do is to delete is batches of 100-200 at a time. Just a heads up.

How to hide full name when publishing photos to icloud's public website?

When allowing iPhoto to publish photos to iCloud (Public Website, allow anyone to view this photo stream at:..." my full Name (xxx by xxx) is always displayed when opening the link.
Does anyone know how to hide or change the name displayed?

I tried changing my name (Apple ID). It had no effect on the Aperture photo stream website page (and yes, I tried it with a new photo stream).
I still think your name should not be included by default with public website, as well as ability to prevent pictures from Copy/Save.

Trashing the preference file may help, as I've outlined in the topic I've linked to. Otherwise, follow the steps regarding removing 3rd party QuickTime components. Also, see the final post by the OP (EEye87) regarding how his problem was resolved (a combination of trashing the preference file and the 3ivx component).

How do I publish photos to my business page on FB

I know how to publish photos directly from iPhoto to my personal FB page - but would like to have the option of uploading them to my business page instead. But as there is only one log on for both accounts I cannot set up a separate FB account in iPhoto (I tried and it just told me I had already registered that account). Often when I choose to share something on FB I am given the choice of either sharing to my personal page or to my business page. Is this possible from iPhot? I know I can go to my business page and then use the browse feature to choose photos to upload; but it would be so much easier if I could do it directly from iPhoto...
Thanks for your help.

Thanks LarryHN - I know I can do this but it does not solve my problem! It would be so much easier if I could upload directly from iPhoto! You don't even need to export to a desktop folder - since you can use the browse feature on FB and then select the photos on your hard drive - but you don't see your photos as well in the browse function as you do in iPhoto - hence my quest to find out if this is possible. There are a number of apps that seem to exist for iPhone and iPad - but I'm a little averse to apps (and as far as I am aware they don't function directly on OSX). Thanks anyway for your input. :-)

Publishing photos on Facebook

I have done this so many times before without a problem and as it is so simple you would wonder why I have a problem!
I tried publishing photos to Facebook this evening but the "publish" button is greyed out so I am unable to.
Now - is it an iPhoto problem or a FB problem.
What can I do?

ICloud publish photos from photo stream?

I had about 7,000 photos on my camera roll and since I was running low on storage, I was advised to move everything to icloud photo streams and delete the photos on the camera roll. I am trying to publish photos from my photo stream now and I can click publish and share the link (so I can have them on my computer)- however, when I go to the link, it is an empty gallery with only the title. Am I missing something? Thanks

With that many photos it may take some time to populate the server. Give it some time and see if that resolves things.
Another option is to save the photo stream photos back to the camera roll, then import them to your computer using your usb cable, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Or, even more conveniently, use an app like PhotoSync to transfer copies to your computer directly from your photo stream over your wifi.

Cannot publish photos

I am unable to publish photos to my ftp site. No problem publishing to a local folder, but then when I try to upload using Fetch it stalls out when it reaches a photo page. I can publish text and movie pages with no problem. I don't have a MobileMe account. Rudd

Thanks, Old Toad. I have downloaded Cyberduck and will try it tonight and report back
Here's a bit more information: I have been talking with Apple Tech Support and Engineering about this problem for about a week. They have reported that their tests have shown no problem with iWeb and no problem connecting to my ftp site, and I agree. The baffling thing is that I can publish text and movie pages, but not photos or albums. They have suggested that it could be caused by a wrong port configuration but I have little knowledge in that area. R.

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How can I publish photos to more than one Facebook account?

How can I publish photos from iphoto to more than one Facebook account? Another way to ask is how to add a second Facebook account to the account list in iphoto?

Open iPhoto Preferences, click on the "Accounts" icon, and add another account.

Published photos don't link
