Sharing photos on iphoto 5

Hi
i have iphoto 5 installed on our local server, and i am trying to use the share photos features. Other machines on the network, they can view the images, but they cant seem to copy images off the server library, or add new images to the library. The permissions are all correct as users have read and write privileges. Now this brings me to my next question, is this possible using iphoto 5? i want a server image gallery which other users of the network can download and upload pics to and from?
please could someone provide any additional information.
thanks

How have you set up the Share?

How do I disable my MobileMe account and add iCloud as the account for sharing photos in iPhoto?

I have been trying to email work photos from my MacBook that were downloaded from my iPhone into iPhoto. However, it states, "the server does not recognized your email/password". I had/have a MobileMe account but have transferred everything over to iCloud. Unfortunately, iCloud is not an option when trying to add the following: iPhoto>Preferences>Sharing>Email>Add Account. I thought that it would have automatically converted the information over to iCloud from MobileMe but this did not happen. How do you add iCloud as the email account for sharing photos from iPhoto?

I;m going to bump this because I've been trying to figure it out for a week on these forums...

Shared photos in iPhotos can't be used in iWeb?

My wife and I both have macs. I'm using iWeb on my machine, but she has a number of family photos in her iPhoto. She shared her iPhoto pictures so I can access them from my machine. In iWeb, I can see the shared album in the media viewer, but the content list is empty. If I open iPhoto and drag-and-drop a shared photo into an iWeb page, I just get a place holder with the name of the photo instead of the actual photo.
It doen't make sense that I'd have to physically copy the photos from her iMac to my PowerPC to use in iWeb...that defeats the purpose of being able to share photos, right?

I'm facing the same thing. Paul - did you ever figure out if this can work or not?

Sharing photos from iphoto 11, why does the photo information not upload when I click with share via email? How can I make sure the photo information and location are shared when the photo (s) are shared.

When I go to share photos in iPhoto 11, The photos transfer to the email I'm sending but the photo information and location don't. The older version of iPhoto did it, why not this version? What am I missing in the process of sharing via email?, Thank You.

When you share to email do you get the following dialogue:

Sharing photos since iphotos became photos

Hi,
I have a large photo collection on my mac book pro, which I shared with my wifes account (via /User/Shared) using iphotos. Each of our Pictures directory had a symbolic link to the User/Shared directory (same group). This worked very well with the Apple TV.
Now we had moved to Photos from iPhotos.
Again the Photos directory is in /Users/Shared, and each of or photos account point to this one Photos database (I have have to use the /user/Shared path, as a symbolic link did not work)
I now turn on the Apple TV, and through the iTunes it is after a directory where the photos are. The default directory is Pictures, and it does not "see" a symbolic link to the /Users/Shared directory. I then chose the /User/Shared directory (from the Photo Sharing Preferences in itunes), and it can't "see" the shared new Photos directory ....
So at present I can display any photos to the Apple TV.
Does anyone have any thoughts ??
Many thanks for you time in reading this

Recently Apple announce they are monitoring these forums. Even so, I suspect that as in the past, this is still mostly users talking to other users. If threre is something you think Apple should hear, they do want to hear it here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html
I already reported my issue to Apple as a bug. My system was working, then part of it related to network use stopped about the same time Apple released a software update intended to fix other networking issues. Viewing Photos library on iCloud also had been working but stopped about the same time. To me it seems likely that in fixing one issue, Apple created another. I came here to see if others also had issues, or if my problem was because I was missing something. Seems like others have issues also.
I recommend you report your problem to Apple via the link above. They may not know there is a problem unless we tell them;

Sharing photos from iphoto

I tried to share photos from Iphoto. After sending it says photos were sent but I am not getting a BCC and the photos are not being sent?

Where are you mailing your photos? On an iPhone, iPad, or on your Mac? If it is iPhoto on your Mac, check the settings in the Preferences > Advanced. Have you enabled "Automatically BCC Myself"?
If it is on an iPad, iPod, iPhone, then post back with the iPhoto version and the kind of device you are using, please.

Email address disappears when sharing photos in iPhoto

I run OSx 19.9.5
When I try to share a photo in iPhoto enter certain email addresses (not all) and they disappear when I tab to the next section.

That should be 10.9.5

Problems sharing photos through IPhoto for mac

I am using iphoto9.6 on a mac mini (late 2012).
My experience is not great, I'm a disappointed with the overall speed that everything only mac happens.
I'd like to address each of my problems one at a time, I'm kind of hoping that maybe resolving one problem will solve a lot of the others. (Always the optimist!)
SO.. I want to share a photo through messages, some times it works, often I get this message, some times other things go wrong.
I know thats not much info to go on, but if anyone can tell me what additonal info is required I will do my best to provide it.
One thing I will note is it sounds like my Mac is working its socks off, pretty much all the time, I'm not really asking it to do much, just open a few web pages and view a few photos in iPhoto mainly.
Any help greatly appreciated

make that
export them checking all of the metatdata boxes - Exporting From iPhoto

Sharing photos (in Iphoto) between user accounts

Hi, I am a new Mac user, so nothing is obvious to me at the moment and I therefore apologise for the simplicity of this question.
I have a new black MacBook OS X I have set up two accounts on it, one for myself and one for my wife. However there are some applications which we would like to share (IPhoto and ITunes). I can see that there is a shared drive and I have tried to move these applications into there, however my wife's account still can't get access to these files/applications.
I KNOW there is an obvious solution to this, but can't find it!
What am I doing wrong??
Thanks for any help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are two ways to share, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want your wife to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open her account. In her account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in her source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
This will work with iTunes too.
If you want your nearest and dearest to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the Users/Shared (or an external HD)
Make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Sharing photos to iPhoto without a third party service

Both my mother and I have iPhoto '08. She wants to be able to get to full-sized copies of my photos. I want to achieve this without using a third-party service (Dot Mac, Flickr, etc.) My Mac is configured as a server.
For awhile, I've tried posting full-sized album pages using iWeb, but the performance is terrible, even when clients don't try to get the full-sized images. iPhoto has some nice sharing features, so I'd like to get one of them to work, and would appreciate some advice from others on how to do so.
First, there's the "Sharing" iPhoto feature. This is limited to a local network, however. Ideally, I ought to be able to create an SSH tunnel and a Bonjour service proxy (using something like Network Beacon). However, when I try this, iPhoto displays but grays out the shared library (under "Shares"). I can't get it to work successfully. (If I do the same thing with my Web server, Safari loads the Bonjour web page without problems. Not sure what's going wrong.)
Second, there's "Subscribe to Photo Feed". This is really optimized for Dot Mac, but the "open" nature of the protocol, using RSS, makes it possible for others to create feeds. There's this post: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060722055330166f discussing CustomHTMLExport combined with a a custom RSS template. But it's all based on iPhoto '06, and I wonder if there's been anything better to come up since. I can't find any discussions about doing something like this that specifically talk about iPhoto '08.
Ideally, I'd like this to be transparent on both ends, just like LAN sharing or photocasting over Dot Mac. But I'm willing to do some work on my end if necessary.

WIPHA seems to work. Webphoto also works (in 10.5, even), though support has been discontinued for some time. Webphoto's problem is that it doesn't display navigation links for photos bigger than 550 (width). The photo displays just fine, but does not include the links necessary to click through to the next or previous photo.
WIPHA's problem is that it ONLY sorts by date. The advantage of Webphoto was that it would display images in the same order as arranged in an iPhoto album.
I'm trying to use iPhoto as the source of slideshows for classes I teach, so that all I have to do for a class is arrange an album, and then fire up the web browser on the computer in my classroom (no exporting, no HTML pages, no duplicate directories...). WIPHA would work, only it won't display in the order I want. Webphoto would work if it would display navigation links with large photos.
Does anyone know of any other option for simply displaying the contents of an iPhoto album on the web without the botheration of separate web pages and exporting and all that crap?
(Or, is there a fix to WebPhoto that will display navigation links for large images?)

Where are Shared Photos from iPhoto in iTunes?

So I open iPhoto, select a photo, choose share to iTunes. iPhoto says it is transferring the photo to iTunes. However, when I look in iTunes, I cannot figure out where I am supposed to see the file I transferred.
Anybody know how this is supposed to work?
I'm running the latest everything ...

Thanks, it wasn't all that intuitive in iTunes, sinc e you have to scroll down to see it.
A little confused about what happens after I saved it to my Mac.
The file still shows up in the sharing pane, and there seems to be no way to get rid of it. How exactly does this work? Was the file actually transferred to iTunes from my phone, or is iTunes only transferring it to my Mac when I choose to save it to my Mac? If the latter, then the items in the sharing pane of iTunes are essentially aliases, but how do I delete them from the list once I downloaded them?
Thanks.

Difficulty sharing photos from iPhoto 9.0 2011

I can't seem to share photos easily. I select them and click Share from the menu bar, but all the options to share such as email, Flickr, and Facebook are grayed out. The account are set up and functional, and I can see my Facebook albums which I have created (through the facebook website) in the Albums section. Help please.

Mary,
Sorry for the dumb line of questions regarding the connection between the two computers -- I just reread the thread from the beginning and noticed your opening mention that they were connected by e-net cable. Of course, that raises another question -- actually several.
If your intent is simply to use the iBook to burn CDs from photos stored on computer "A", then why are you using iPhoto 5 on the iBook as an intermediate step at all? From computer "A", mount the iBook's hard drive and create a target folder. Select your individual photos or albums and export them to that target folder on the iBook. When the target folder has 600 MB (or so) of files in it, go to the iBook, insert a blank CD, and drag the folder to the CD. Drag the CD to the trash, and you'll be prompted to burn the contents to the CD. Empty the target folder (rename it if appropriate) and repeat the process for another batch of photos.
Or is your intent to produce "iPhoto CDs" that will mount in (or automatically launch) iPhoto upon inserting the CD?

IPhoto - Error Sharing Photo on Facebook

Hi,
Recently I have been receieving "nsurlerrordomain error -1" error while sharing photos from iPhoto (v 9.4.2) to my Facebook account.
I tried removing and adding the FB account the issue persists.
Kindly advice.

You might try this: Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
Otherwise the workaround that works for all is to export the photos to a folder on the Desktop and upload to Facebook with your browser until a fix is found.

I can't share photos on iPhoto (version 9.6) for Macbook Pro

I have been sharing photos on iPhoto version 9.6 regularly from my Macbook Pro (running Yosemite 10.10.1). Today I tried to share a photo and all of the six share options at the top of the screen (messages, Mail, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) are greyed out. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

What have you already checked?
You need to have photos selected
The mac needs to be connected to the internet.
In the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts pane need accounts to be added.

How can I subscribe to a Shared Photo Stream from iPhoto 9.4 on OSX 10.7.5 ?

I just updated to iPhoto 9.4 on both my (just updated) OSX 10.8.2 MacBook Pro and my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
For some mysterious reason Apple specifies that I can not subscribe to the new "Shared Photo Streams" from my OSX 10.7.5 Mac mini.
How could that be ?
How can I get around this ?
How can it be that Apple claims that 'Shared Photo Streams' can be shared to all my other devices, but it turns out that my major photo-database can't, even though it has a brand new version of last year's OSX running... ???!!!
This can't be a software issue...
because if that were the case Apple would be deliberately cutting off users of last year's operating system... (...I even think there is a law prohibiting that...)
so... can anyone tell me what the exact piece of hardware is that I am missing ?
or has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
Thanks !

The only hardware that's preventing me from upgrading to 10.8 "Mountain Lion" would be the fact that a Mid-2007 Mac mini doesn't have a separate graphics card...
...as all other hardware-components ar similar to the iMac Mid 2007... :
- at least 2GB of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM RAM
- a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo "Merom" processor
- a WiFi-N compatible AirPort-card (I've upgraded the one in my Mac mini to an Atheros AR-9280...)
- OSX 10.6.8 or later installed (I have OSX 10.7.5)
- iPhoto 9.4
...so the only spec I not meeting hardware-wise is the fact that my Mac mini has a GMA950 shared graphics card...
but surely... that can not be the reason I can't subscribe to a Photo Stream...
why would that have anything to do with eachother ???!!!
[ I've even seen claims of tricked OSX 10.8 installers for the Mid-2007 Mac mini, so if that's my only option... ]
