Publishing Albums...ONE photo at a time?!?!?

I have successfully published many events from iPhoto '08 to my MobileMe Gallery. However, I am not having the same success with the new album I created.
When I follow the , MobileMe, Publish steps, only 1 photo from the entire album gets published (whichever one is highlighted at the time...usually the first one in the album). I thought perhaps I needed to "Select All", but that option is always grayed-out. When I tried to select each photo in the album, I was only able to shift/click only 8 at a time...which is just ridiculous.
Seems I shouldn't have to select any photos individually, rather be able to ship the entire contents of the album off to publish.
(Also, the previous step of dragging photos into the album was problematic...I could select a whole bunch to drag, but only 2 at a time would show up in the album. Wondering if you might be able to shed light on this too.)
Thank you so much!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If the Select All if grayed out or if you open the album, click and drag to select all and the MobileMe button only selects on of the photos then you have a damaged library. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
If the above doesn't work launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #3 and #5. The try again.

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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • How to delete more than one photo at a time

    Apparently there is no longer an iPhoto trash. So you don't drag photos to the trash. Instead you hit the delete key and then a second click on delete when you get the message "Are you sure you want to delete this photo." Has anyone found a way to delete more than one photo at a time, though? This is really a hassle if you have just imported 500 photos and are going to end up deleting 450 of them.

    I didn't say use the command key and delete. I use the command key for selecting random photos. Then I right click and choose delete from the contextual menu.
    I always use right click, but the command-delete does work also in that album.
    Depending on what album you are in, there are different menus. In a user created album, the right click would show "Remove from Album" & "Delete Photo". I noticed that was the same for Last Import Album. But at the same time, under image, you will only have Remove from Album. If it is a system album, you will only get the delete menu from either the right click or from the menu under Image.
    What you have to remember is if it days delete the photo, it will completely delete it from the library and all albums. If the menu says Remove From Album, then it will only be removed from the album you are in.
    In PhotoStream Album, you get only Delete Photo from the right click menu, but under image, you get only remove from album. So if you want to remove an image from PhotoStream, you have to use the top menu so it won't get deleted from the library. If you want to remove a photo completely, you would use delete and it will be removed from the library and photo stream.
    So, there are different processes for the different albums. I don't know if that is intentional or just oversight. That may change in the future.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1 Can I delete more that one photo at a time?  Thanks!!

    I have Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1.  Is there a way to delete more than one photo at a time?  Thanks!!!

    Hi LarryJackie,
    When you go into Photos (or an Album or Event), click on the first photo you want to delete. If you want to delete a whole selection of photos in a row, hold down the Shift key, and then click on the last photo in the section you want to delete. All of the photos will be selected. Then click on Photos in the top menu and click on Move to Trash.
    If you want to select photos that are not in a row, then click on the first photo, then hold down the Command key, then click on other photos you want to select. Keep the Command key held down until you have selected all of the photos you want. Then click on Photos in the top menu and then Move to Trash.
    Cheers,

  • How can i order prints of more than one photo at a time?

    Hi I am trying to order prints of more than one photo at a time but can only select one photo - if I press command it just jumps to the next photo, not allowing me to select multiple photos.
    Thanks

    Easiest way is to make an album of the photos you want to order, crop them to the print size, select all and order

    On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

  • How to make vintage prints slide show one photo at a time?

    Does anyone know to program the vintage prints slide show to display only one photo at a time?

    The slideshow templates are fixed and can't be changed.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express  $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • My Viewing area only shows one photo at a time now :(

    Yesterday I noticed that my viewing area only shows one photo at a time. It used to display thumbnails of all the photos in the selected event - or library. Now, I'm forced to scroll down and view them one at a time or go into edit mode to see some thumbnails across the top of the screen.
    Did I accidently do this? Was it part of an OS update? (I've been away for a month and just don't think I did anything to cause a change...) Can anyone tell me how to view all the thumbnails in the viewing area again?
    I'm using iphoto 08 version 7.1.5 (378)
    I would very much appreciate some help with this.

    Thank you so much!! I love simple answers. I actually spent a few hours on this - seemed to play and test all the settings - and I just didn't understand this application of that slider.
    Thank you again.
    I'm very happy.

  • How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

    How do I select and email a whole lot of photos on my iPad from my iPad emails? It seems I have to go into Email and then insert one photo at a time? Isn't there a way to select all in the photos and then email the batch.?

    Actually, you can email up to 5 at a time from the Photos app. Select any more and the email share option will not appear.
    If you explain why you need to email large numbers of photos, we might be able to offer an alternative.

  • I "upgraded" to 10.8 Mountain Lion and now can only email one photo at a time

    With 10.8 I can now send only one photo at a time from iPhoto through Mail - e.g., two "small" photos with a combined file size of 400 kb will "resize (null)" and freeze Mail, whereas I can send one "actual size" photo 5 mb in size.  This stinks since before I could send multiple photos limited only by the size of my pipe.

    I am from France , and I have the same problem with multiple photos ! I have 2 IMacs, one gives no problem, and the other freeze while sending more than one photo!
    I did not find any solution (except using the mail module from IPhoto, or adding the photo by sliding manually  into mail)
    Are we the only 3 in the world having this problem?!
    More seriously, did you found any solution?
    Thank !

  • Setting color codes for more than one photo at a time

    Is there any way to set color codes for more than one photo at a time?

    Hi John,
    I will look at keywords. My issue is speed. Right now I am culling and editing an event shoot that spanned a week with 35 separate events and more than 5000 images. So I use the fastest most convenient method I can and it still takes a long time to have a completed and final shoot. On this shoot I will end up with a final set of around 1500 images. Right now I am finishing processing a show that will hang in the Deutsches Amerikanish Zentrum in Stuttgart.
    As I am sure you are aware by now, having seen enough of my inane questions that over the last two years or since Lightroom version 1.xx if I could not figure out how to do something I skipped it. So many things in Lightroom are buried and unless you have a mind like a steel trap (and think that some of you guys in the forum do) locating how to do something is not obvious.
    For example, I only learned (in the last hour) that I could assign colors as a group of selections by using Shift + number. I found this in a side head in Martin Evenings Lightroom book. I still do not know how to find a way to display the color filter "selection" set in Library mode. Is there a way?
    To top it off, Stuttgart Media University asked me if I would add a Lightroom module to my schedule this year. Now I have a compelling reason to learn all those missing pieces that I have created workarounds for. Hence the number of posts you have been seeing from me over the past few of weeks.
    I tell my class that there are no such things as stupid questions, only questions. Now I am practicing what I have been preaching for the last gazillion years. Guys like you have been great.
    My workflow is
    1. I first separate all images by event. I do that at the time of import.
    2. I do a fast pass rejecting all the obviously bad images
    3. I do a second pass grouping the images by sub-group (speeches, people talking, performances, etc.) This is where I run out of selection methods and your key-wording could work but it would probably take too much time to establish a keyword set for a single event. Where I have more than five subgroups I set up different collection sets with one collection for each sub group. However I would like to keep a single event in one collection.
    4. I then select the images to be used by color code.
    5. Next I process the final images (crop develop etc) by collection.
    6. Last I output the set according to client requirement.
    If you have a better workflow, I am all ears.
    By the way, what is your photo specialty and where are you located?
