Rearranging photos in iWeb

I am a newbie with iWeb. Setting up my Welcome page was fine. I could easily drag and resize all the photos I imported from iPhoto. On the next page, however, all the photos I have dragged to the page are trapped in a blue grid, and I cannot select them individually to work on them. I find it hard to believe that the "nature" of the first page would differ from the rest, but......
Many thanks in advance for whatever help is out there. pah

It sounds like all of the photos on your second page are selected (at once). Can you select outside of the photos? That way you may be able to one at a time. The other problem might be that you put your iPhotos into a non-photo area (I may not be describing this right). Try this - go to your first page (the one that works). Click on the " + " at the bottom left of the page. Select the photo template. Drag one picture at a time from iPhoto (use the "Media" tool in iWeb to get to your iPhoto) into one of the placeholder pictures. Hope this works...Jim

How can I easily rearrange photos in iWeb?

I am trying to rearrange photos on my iWeb pages and seem to have no control over where they land when I drag and drop them. I have several pics on one page and cannot see them all on my screen (G4 17"). Is there a way to view them all so I can see where I'm dragging and dropping? Or do I have to arrange them all in iPhoto first?
Thank you.

You can use Wufoo as OT suggested, but you can also create your own form by writing you own html code into the html snippet in iWeb. You can also have whatever background colour you want and whatever text colour that you want by inserting the correct code.
Depending on where you are posting your site to determines what you would do and how you would set it up. If you are posting to an external server, then most have Formmail which you can enable to handle your form requirements. I have done this with my own site and hand coded both my forms and it routes via formmail to be e-mailed to me. With this method, you can set the fields to what you want and include exactly what you want. Formmail will then take you to a page that then tells the user what they have filled in and what has been e-mailed. You can configure this page in the form fields to get exactly what you want by way of title, text and background. If you don't like this, you can re-direct to a thank you page or another specific page on your own site.
If you publish to MobileMe however, it does not support Formmail, so you need to set the form to be e-mailed to you.
There are lots of possible options here, so just have a look and see what will work best for you.
I used Wufoo myself at one time - http://www.wufoo.com, but changed because I did not like the idea of a third party holding data and also, if their site goes down for whatever reason, you have lost your form completely, which is not the case if you hand code your own form and use Formmail.

Easier way to rearrange photos in iWeb?

Hello
I am running 10.4.6 and iWeb 1.1.1 on a PowerBook 1.5Ghz with 1GB of RAM.
OK, when I click a bunch of photos in iPhoto and send them to an iWeb photo page, like everyone else, the photos are completely out of order when the iWeb page opens up. Fine. I start to manually rearrange them.
However - this is a VERY tedious process when you have 60+ photos, and they wind up in nearly reversed order. My process goes something like this:
Scroll to bottom of page. Select photo (left click). Drag (while left-clicking) photo up the page.
Here is where the tedium/problem comes in: I can only see 2 or 3 rows (of 2 each!) of photos at a time - and the page will not auto-scroll while I am clicking and dragging!!
So - I wind up dragging the photo up one or two whole rows. Release the mouse button. Use the scroll wheel to scroll down two rows. Repeat process until photo is in the top row.
Needless to say, this is very time-consuming and I'm going to develop arthritic fingers if I have to do this for 99 photos on each page. I seem to remember at one point (I can't remember if it was iWeb or Homepage - I think it was iWeb) that all I had to do was click and drag the photo to the extreme top of the window (or was it the screen?) and the page would auto-scroll. Then all I had to do was release the mouse button wherever I wanted the photo to go. iWeb doesn't do that any more (at least not that I can tell).
Is there an easier way to do this?
TIA
Richard

Hmm, ok, I haven't tried that. Thanks for the idea.
I just wish they hadn't turned off the "auto-scroll" type feature. Creating an album is an extra set of steps now - I like things as easy as possible (which is why I use a Mac...)

Iweb rearranges photo order when making galleries

Every time I drag a group of photos to iweb to create a gallery it scrambles the alphabetical and or numerical order. How can I fix this? Help!
I'm using a macbook pro with 2.4 ghtz chip, Mac OS X (10.5.5), iweb 2.0.4. I do not use iphoto.
Thanks

Are you just dragging the photos from the Finder into the photo's placeholder section? Set the folder to *icon view,* select all the photos and drag into the iWeb photo page. That should maintain the alphanumerical order that was in the folder/Finder.
However if you have sequential numbering I suggest you pad zeros to the sequential number if they already don't have them. By that I mean -001, -002, 010, etc. If you have just -1, -2 -10, they will not import correctly. You'll get -1, -10, -2, -20, etc. If you don't have sequential numbers tacked on the end of the file name then it should be a straight alphanumerical import.

Rearrange photos in an album

How do I rearrange photos in a saved album in IOS 8?

Hi Jennifer,
As far as I know there's no such function as "Reverse Photo Order".
I'd recommend you to make an album for that page in iPhoto and have it the right way 'round there. When adding new photos or reordering you would simply put them in the album and re-export to iWeb. That's what seems to be the easiest and best way to me...
Regards,
Cédric

How can you Copyright your photos in iWeb

Does anyone know how to copyright your photos in iWeb so that others can download your images and claim them as their own?? thanks

Press: Option+"G" and you will have this "©" after it put your name as:
©Fito Pardo 2007
In photoshop or a program like this put your copyright notice on top of your photos like I did it:
http://www.cinematograf.com/Links/Clientes/Pages/Belinda.html
If you like no one to download your pictures I recomend to you to put your images like here:
http://www.cinematograf.com/Media/StillPortfolio/StillPortfolio.html
So is more dificult for others to use them as their own as this pictures are in way less resolution than prints and is very difficult to use video images on a catalog, it look like crap.
And there is another way
Put your images like I did in video, then place a box layer on top of the video and make that box transparent:
Under the "Inspector" window, go to "Graphic", then go to "Opacity" and make the square "0%", make shure is on top of your whole video so no one can download your video.
This is actually the best way, but then again if you don't put a copyright notice like the "Belinda" pictures I did (she is a Latin Pop Star, That is why I put that copyright notice on top of every shot, there is a lot of fans who like to have some of those pictures) you will still have to worry about:
"Shift" + "Command" (Or Apple) + "4"
That one is the command to copy what ever you want on the screen
I hope this works for you

How do you rearrange photos in iPhoto's on iPad.

In the help drop down in iPhoto it says that you can drag to rearrange photos. I can't get this to work and I want to reorder my photos.

That help item is only telling you that you can drag the top bar to make it larger or narrower. This rearranges the photos into one, two or three columns. I wish we could drag photos to put them into a different order but it seems one cannot.

How do I Add Music to the Slideshow in photos in Iweb

How do I add a song from my itunes library to play while viewing the slideshow portion of my photos in Iweb'09? I have tried this numerous times throughout the day today but am getting nowhere.
Also, can I add a video portion of the Letterman Top Ten list to a page in my Iweb?
Thanks

That's not an option with iWeb. You can add a song to the photos page that will play automatically (and loop if desired) that would continue to play when the viewer clicks on the slideshow button. This demo page has such a setup.
I don't remember if Cyclosaurus (our resident javascript expert) had posted a solution via javascript and an HTML snippet. You might search the entire iWeb forums for posts by Cyclosaurus with a topic of slideshow music or something similar.

How do you rearrange photos in an iPhoto library?

I am trying to rearrange photos in iPhoto so I can make a slideshow that makes sense. I can't seem to move photos once they are there.

Where are you trying to rearrange the photos? In the slideshow mode or in an album?
In the slideshow you can drag a photo from one position in the thumbnail tray at the top to wherever you wnat it.
In an album use the View ➙ Sort ➙ Manual menu option to let you drag the photos into any order you'd like.
What system and iPHoto verson are you using? Are you really running 10.3.6?

Rearranging photo thumbnails in Organizer window

Is there a way to rearrange photo thumbnails manually in the Organizer? Most software enables a drag-and-drop function but apparently not here. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Philip
In the full Organizer, the Views available (lower left corner) are Newest, Oldest, Folder and Import Batch. Within the full Organizer, I don't believe you can do as you wish.
If you make a collection, you can re-arrange the images within the collection by dragging and dropping. This is often used to re-arrange pictures for a specific project, making a slide show or web page say.
I guess in theory you could create a collection that included all your pictures and then drag and drop within that. Never tried this so you may run into some kind of file limit.

How do you rearrange photos in a folder by file name?

How do you rearrange photos in a folder by file name on an ipad?

I don't believe it's possible under the standard "Photos" app (built-in) in iOS.
However, there appear to be many downloadable apps that will allow you to do this. Search the App Store for something like "photo sort".
You may also want to leave Apple your feedback in regards to this at:

Rearranging photos in grid view

Mac OS 10.5.6 Lightroom 2.2 Camera RAW 5.12
My understanding is that photos cannot be rearranged in grid view in the parent folder. However, in a sub-folder to the parent folder it is possible to rearrange photos. I have several folders in the exact same hierarchy level inside a parent folder. All photos in all folder can be rearranged into user order except the photos in one folder in the same hierarchy level as the other folder mentioned above. It was previously possible to rearrange photos in this folder but now it is not. The only change is that I have imported some photos into Lightroom from a sub-folder to this folder where the photos cannot be sorted into user order. So the folder in question has NOT changed in the hierarchy level order, but a sub-folder to this folder has become part of the Lightroom library with new imports. How the heck can this import lock the photos in the folder and prevent them form being sorted (if this is what is causing the lock issue)? I would really appreciate some help since rearranging and sort photos is a main function of editing and organizing. This is an extremely annoying feature of Lightroom that hopefully will be corrected soon.
Please advice on how I can unlock the photos in this folder and sort them in user order

Remove the subfolder after lifting the images up into one folder is another solution.

Publication of photos from iweb to mobile me produce an error

I am no longer able to publish photos from iweb to my mobile me site
The process starts well; but some minutes after, it stops at a file (not always the same) as if the time was up or the size too large (I have plenty of room in Mobile me).
It has worked some months ago for the first set of photos ...
thanks for you help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password. This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - reboot.
4 - launch iWeb and see if you can publish.
If that doesn't help:
5 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
6 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
7 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
8 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
9 - launch iWeb and try again.
