Relationship between Events, Album & Web Gallery

Hi, I'm new to iPhoto 08. Please bear with me if my question sounds stupid
What is the relationship between Events, Album and Web Gallery?
1. From Events, when I publish them to Web Gallery, does both environment auto sync with each other?
2. From Events, I create Album, then I publish to Web Gallery, do all 3 environments auto sync?
3. Why use Album when I can choose Option 1?
If I want to keep it simple and just want to put my photos to the web gallery, do I just use Option 1?
Thanks heaps.
Cheers,
Thomas

Nothing - except Smart Albums - auto updates. If you add pics to an Event or Album you'll need to then update the corresponding Web Galleries.
Albums are infinitely more useful than Events for organising your pics.
Events are simple, date-based folders. Events in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library package file (Right click on it in the Pictures Folder -> Show Package Contents). However, Events cannot be nested, for instance and are very inflexible. A pic cannot be in more than one Event without duplicating the actual file.
Albums can be nested inside folders, can be created by drag and drop, or any of the Smart Album criteria - including but not limited to Date, Keywords, Ratings, even camera model. Like Playlists in iTunes, Albums are virtual a pic can be in 1,10 or 100 albums with no wasted disk space.

IPhoto '08: Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Gallery & Slideshows ???

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08 and I am confused.
I must admit I used iPhoto before to look at my pictures but I never bothered with any albums or slideshows or whatever, but now with more and more pictures I need to organize.
So this new iPhoto comes with all sorts of way to organize such as Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Galleries & Slideshows. Quiet frankly I am LOST as to what to use when or for what ???
Okay I can get Web Galleries is for posting on the .mac as a gallery. Why did they do this again if you iWeb that creates photo pages???? Why is this not integrated in iWeb????
Now moving on. What's the difference between Events, (Smart Albums) and Slideshows. They seem to be ways to organize your photos. BUT why have THREE of them? When to use which one?
Any help or comment appreciated as I am confused ....

Events, Smart Albums, Albums and slideshows are different. Here is a short explanation of each:
Events= Every time you import photos from your camera or via drag & drop a new Event is created. This is the basic (automatic) way that iPhoto organizes your photos. Events are date based and can be split or merged based on your preferences. For example, you go to a birthday party and take a few photos, a few days later you go to a picnic and take a few photos. When you import the images, iPhoto will split the pictures into two distinct events. (Check The iPhoto Preferences/Events for some options).
Albums= These are containers that you create to easily group photos in any way you prefer (ex. Combine photos from a couple of holiday parties into one album). You can drag and drop photos in Albums. When you delete a photo in an Album it does not get deleted from the main library. Albums contain links to the photos, not the actual photos. You can manually re-order the photos in an Album. It is always a good idea to create an Album first, edit and re-order your photos there and then create a slideshow, book or web gallery from the Album.
Smart Albums= These are Albums you create that have specific rules, they automatically get updated every time a photo meets the specific set of rules. Smart Albums (SA) can have one or more rules. ex. You have 2 different cameras and you automatically want to see the photos captured by each camera. You create 2 Smart Albums that contain the Rule = Camera Model > is > Nikon D40 (or whatever). Next time you import photos from that camera, the SA will show these photos automatically. (Note: These are links, but if you delete an image, unless you delete it permanently it will re-appear in the SA, as long as it still has the required value of the SA. You can sort by Keyword, Ratings etc using Smart Albums, and you can have multiple sort rules, like Keyword = Birthday and Rating is 5 stars.
Slideshows= iPhoto has 2 types of slideshows available. The first is the "quick" slideshow. You can select any Album or Smart Album click on the Play button, set the transition select the music and you are ready to go. The 2nd type, the Cinematic Slideshow, are albums created specifically as Slideshows. They contain photos you selected and you want to see on your screen in a slideshow presentation. You can set specific transitions between slides, set individual slide times, select music and specify where the Ken Burns effect will start in a slide and where it will end. They are more elaborate than the Quick slideshows.
Web Galleries = are a quick way to share photos with friends, you just select the Photos and click on the Web Gallery button. You set some basic options and publish. Visitors get to see the photos in 3-4 different views including a slideshow, but you can also allow the viewers to add photos to your web gallery. Every time you add a new photo to a web gallery album in iPhoto, it will update the web site when you click the little publish icon next to the name. You can also set tan option to make this happen at specific intervals. (Check the iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery).
I hope this answered some of your questions. Good luck.

The Output panel in cs 6, giving choice between pdf or Web gallery, is missing when I click on the Output workspace. How do I get it back?

Anybody know how to manage this? I have never had this problem before. There is a blank space where I used to be able to choose between Web gallery and PDF

I ended up doing the exact same thing and was just as surprised when it worked. Seems backwards and counterintuitive, and it's probably a big glitch somewhere in iOS5 and/or iTunes, but it did work.
Now, however, I have a new problem. I have a Bluetooth-enabled Garmin nuvi 2360 GPS I use in my car for hands-free calling with the iPhone. Never had any problems with connecting until after the restore last night. Now, even tho the iPhone is discoverable and attempts to connect, it always fails. Anyone know if there are issues with the Bluetooth capabilities of the phone with iOS5? I'm almost paranoid to try and sync the phone or shut it down again in case it craps out again. May take it to the Apple Store, but I've got a feeling they'll either tell me there's nothing they can do or that I have to buy a new phone, and I just can't do it right now.

How to break link between iWeb and web gallery?

I have created an external webpage with the use of iWeb, and I have inserted the photos widget through the web gallery which sits on my personal .Mac account (ie. different to the external website which has an independent - no mac - .com address)
I would like people to view the picture widget on the external website (a business website) I have created, but I do not want them to click on it and then be directed to my home web gallery. Basically I just want them to be able to see the rolling pictures, but nothing more.
Does anyone know how to avoid this link from working?

Hi Kodi,
As far as I know, the object link to material is part of SAP standard customer delivery. Then there is really small customer settings you have to maitain, actually the fields Destination and Web server, as the SAP never knows the name of the system, which customer will use.
Or you talk about others than the 0PLANTMATERIAL, 0PLANTMAT_LONG. If you create new object link type, the install guide 'Collaboration Projects (cProjects): Guide Impl. Object Link ' in the https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/plm-inst should give you detailded information.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Relationship between events, Methods,Container, & workflow

Hi all,
could you pls navigate through the hierarchical steps linking the above and explain the role/usage of these with a simple example.
thanks,
Subba

Thanks Rajan,
i need to understand the technical components involved in the flow..
so if i have a <b>scenario</b> like:
1) user creates and saves a Purchase order
2) his superior should get a mail to release/hold the PO
3) if yes then PO should be released.
so how would the events, containers, BOR methods and workflow container look like.
Thanks,
Subba.

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?

Events duplicating on web gallery!

G'day people
I've created a whole lot of events in iPhoto '08 and exported them to the my web gallery; so far so good.
Last night I added more photos to one of my events and, after iPhoto synchronised with web gallery, I see that I now how two events on web gallery with the same name. One of the web gallery events has the new photos!
Any idea how they can be merged in web gallery? They are all on one event in iPhoto. I didclick the little circle to get iPhoto to synchorise again but it made no difference.
Please help
Cheers
Al

Do you use MobileMe?
What would be helpful in the setup instructions for MobileMe but are not.
If you are syncing over the air with Mobile Me then DO NOT sync via the cable with Address Book (Outlook or Windows Contacts on PC). This causes duplicates. You are telling the iPhone to bring what is in those programs to the iPhone (one copy). Then you are syncing from the cloud (Mobile Me copy two).
The iPhone will do exactly as you tell it to do.
The easiest way to remove duplicates.
1. On the info tab in iTunes uncheck sync contact and sync calendars.
2. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>ME account>slide to off contacts and calendars.
3. Log into Me.com and look at contacts and calendars and make sure there are no duplicates.
4. On the iPhone>settings>mail contacts calendars>ME account> slide to on contacts and calendars. When prompted choose to Replace with info from Me.com

IPhoto 08 and Web Gallery are out of sync.

I used iphoto to upload 3 events to web gallery last night, and left it go over night. I selected the first event, and clicked on web gallery and it started to upload. I then clicked on another one while the first was uploading and did the same. Both events were listed in web gallery, one was syncing in progress, the other just had a spinning sync icon. I then added a 3rd event to the list to sync, which appeared under web gallery as expected, so I went to bed.
I woke up this morning and iPhoto exited. I checked my web gallery and found the 1st web gallery I synced was fine. The 2nd gallery existed, but contained both the 2nd and 3rd events. I then loaded iPhoto and it has no entry for the 2nd album in web galleries. So now I have an album on gallery.mac.com that I cannot control from iPhoto (including deleting).
Anyone have any ideas on what to do? I submitted a feedback form for iphoto, but it says don't hold my breath on a response. So I'm hoping someone here can help me.
There are 61 photos in the album I cannot control.
Regards
Simon

I have found an answer thanks to jaxjason in this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1086973&tstart=0
Go to web gallery, find out the album ID that you need to delete.
iDisk -> Web -> Sites -> _gallery
Delete the album ID of the albums that arn't in iphoto.
Then resync the albums missing.

Web gallery still not working.

The web gallery feature is still non-functional. I used to use it all the time. Suddenly a few days ago I noticed that it simply does not work anymore. I highlight and event, click web gallery, it creates a web gallery in the left sidebar of iphoto. The little progress circle turns for about 15 seconds, then suddenly the web gallery from the sidebar disappears and it as if I never clicked on the web gallery button. All my old we galleries are gone. I tried deleting iphoto prefs and deleting to _gallery folder from my idisk. No luck. When I try publishing a movie in iMovie to the web gallery, everything seems to proceed correctly. It compresses and uploads. The when I click the link provided, I get Apple's version of error 404: no such website.

Ben:
See if you can upload a file, any type will do, to the Sites folder on your iDisk via the Finder. I had a similar problem. When I tried uploading a file to the Sites folder or any of its subfolders I would get an error message. I reported it to the iWeb and .Mac feedback sites. It went away for a while and then came back that same day and then went away. Apple did get back to me and checked my account. They reported all was well. If you do get an error you may have a similar to mine but one that's not correcting itself. Report you problems to:

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. 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.

How to add Web Gallery captions in Bridge CS5

I am creating a photo album (web gallery) in Bridge CS5 but there doesn't seem to be a way to add captions to the photos. I don't want the File Names to appear, I want to be able to choose several photos to have captions which I will type in. Is there a way to do this? The web gallery template I am using is Left Filmstrip.
Thanks!

Will the Airtight template let you put in a separate caption for EACH photo, or just one caption that goes on every single slide?
What third party software would let me add captions...I need something fairly easy to use.
Thanks!

Uploading photos through web gallery not working.

People
When people access my web galleries and use the upload feature and it accepts the uploaded files, but, the photos don't appear in the web gallery or get synched to my iPhoto. However, using the upload feature through email does work!
Any ideas on that?
Also, once synched with web galleries on my iPhoto, how come the photos don't automatically appear in the event that the person uploaded the photo to in the fist place? The photos appear in the event under Web Gallery on iPhoto but not the actual event. Does that make sense?
Cheers
Al

Same prob here (EU).
Looks like uploading through the web interface (while browsing the web gallery) doesn't work.
E-mailing a picture works a treat, though...
Tried also using firefox (I'm on a MBP with all the latest software versions) but no luck!
I've looked also at the contents of my iDisk (it had to be in the loop!) and indeed found that the web gallery is under <.macmember_name>/Web/Sites/gallery/<id> and every picture that's in the gallery has its own folder named after the picture name containing 5 files: *large.jpg, medium.jpg, web.jpg, square.jpg and reflect-medium.jpg* (their meaning is quite obvious...)
The pictures I sent through the web interface didn't produce results in my iDisk whatsoever, while the one I sent using mail had this new folder-files created in the right way...
I think this upload feature is seriously flawed...

How to get .mac web gallery albums on iphone?

hi just wondered if and how to view web gallery albums on an iphone without using safari to log into.mac. thought there may be a way of an automatic sync between the iphone and .mac web gallery?
i know you can send photos to the web gallery but dont know how to do it the other way around if that makes any sense?
thanks rob

One thing to check out.
If the person who created the .mac web gallery allowed for downloads, then you could download the photos to iphoto then sync to the iphone.
Otherwise you would need to open the .mac gallery in safari.
Hope this helps.

Web Gallery Album image not appearing

I just posted my first album to My Gallery with posted 08, pretty cool.
I selected specific images within an Event and posted them to Web Gallery. The images posted fine however on the My Gallery Page the album has no thumbnails associated with it. Does anyone have a recommendation of how I could get them to appear?
Also, is there any way to view the images within multiple events? I want to be able to drag images from one event to another. Thanks

Also, is there any way to view the images within multiple events? I want to be able to drag images from one event to another. Thanks
Look at Dvents as the basic grouping of photos from one shoot. Mike N. (nahyun... described Events as well as I've seen in this post.
If you want to group photos based on other characteristics use Albums. One photo can be in multiple albums and still have only one file in the library.
Do you Twango?

Hi
Please Ignore my above message.
Thanks for ur Response.
After ur valuble inputs we have added the required dependencies and sucessfully created the projects, then building of the projects was also sucessfully done and EAR file was created.
We need to deploy this EAR file in CRM Application Server by using the interface NWDI.
For Deploying the EAR into NWDI, we need to check-in the activites what i have created for EAR. once i check-in the activites ,the NWDI will deploy the EAR into CRM Application Server.
In the Activity Log we are able to check the Activities as Suceeded but the Deployment column is not showing any status.
When i right click on my activity Id the deployment summery is also disabled.
So finally my Question is that where can i get the deployment log file, and where can i check the deployment status for my application..
Any pointers in this regard would be of great help..
Awaiting for ur valuble Responses..
Regards
Satish

How do you automatically update a Web Gallery from a Smart Album?

I just installed iPhoto '08, and like the new features. I have published several Web Galleries, which are great for people who don't have Macs. I am publishing a smart album of all of the photos taken in the last month (Date is in the last 1 Month). However, when I add new photos, they show up automatically in the Smart Album, but they don't show up automatically in the Web Gallery. Is there a way to do this in iPhoto '08? Is there a way to do this with Automator? Thanks for your help.

TeeJay6:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you can't because the web gallery is a separate entity from the smart album. Once the gallery is created in iPhoto you have to add photos to it manually and then click on the icon to update it online.
Do you Twango?
