Strange behaviour in .mac web galleries

Hi,
I have started to use .mac web galleries with aperture 2. However, I am witnessing some very strange behaviour. Firstly, it seems to take forever to update, the icon at the side of the gallery is permanently on the 'update' icon.
Secondly, whenever I add new photos to the gallery it actually creates an entirely new gallery with all the photos from the previous gallery.
Is anybody else having issues with the aperture flavour of .mac web galleries?
thx
Phil

I have a similar problem Phil! I watch the status indicator for a web gallery progress to about half way then it stops, the album doesn't get published. I have published albums before this started happening, and have published other albums successfully but sometimes certain albums don't publish. I delete them and repost them to no avail. Hopefully we can get some answers! This is quite lame, don'tcha think?

Getting back .Mac Web Galleries after reformat

I've created many .Mac Web Galleries with iPhoto and they've successfully published and appeared in the iPhoto source list.
I reformated, and even after logging into .Mac in System Prefs, the .Mac Web Galleries do not display in my iPhoto source list. They are all there if I go to iPhoto's preferences.
How do I get my .Mac Web Galleries back into the source list?

Never mind. Apparently you have to click "Check Now" in iPhoto preferences to force an update.

Strange behaviour on some web pages

Hello. First of all sorry if posted in wrong thread - if wrong let me knw where to post it. I've got strange behaviour on some web pages. When I'm logged in to mobile me n the plce where is Search in right top corner I see grey rectangle, same when I want to delete something (email or gallery) where on the pop up window am I sure to delete buttons cancell and OK are black rectangles in that case, same thing happens on Safari and Firefox as well on few other pages similiar issue.

Thank you for ur help.

First thing to try: go to System Preferences>Universal Access and turn Voiceover off.

IWeb not seeing .Mac web galleries

I just bought Aperture 2.0 in favor of iPhoto. I published a .Mac web gallery via Aperture 2.0 to my .Mac gallery, and fired up iWeb to reference the gallery, but Insert > .Mac Web Gallery shows "No albums or movies available".
The web gallery works just fine. I'm looking at it right now in Safari.
Anyone know why that would happen?

Please when I try to publish my site appears the follow message:
PUBLISH ERROR
Can’t create the file “13Prof._Evandro_faz_conferência_na_Universidade_Iagueiloniana,_Cracóvia,_sobre_Cul tura_de_Comunicação,_Diálogo_Multicultural_e_Não-violência:_a_Transformação_dos_ Jogos_de_Sentido_Através_da_Ascendência_Cidadã_Não-violentasobr.js.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges."
And when I delete this file and try to publish again the same msg appears refering another file...
My disk is nott full and I don't know what is happening.

.Mac web galleries with Aperture

Hi all,
I use Aperture for all of my photography needs however, I'd really like to be able to use the .Mac web gallery feature of iPhoto '08. I haven't bought iLife '08 yet because I'd like to know how this would work...
Can anyone give me an insight into how using your Aperture library in iPhoto works? Does your Aperture library automatically appear in iPhoto? Would I have to export my photos from Aperture and then import into iPhoto (therefore having a duplicate)?
Thanks for any help
-Sam

Sam
Just tried an experiment with importing dragging a couple of pics across.
If you use iPhoto in the default setting, (Copy Pics to the iPhoto Library on Import) then yes, the Previews are copied over.
However, if you disable this in the Preferences (->Advanced) the Preview is not copied over, but referenced instead, and a Right-Click -> Show File produces a Finder Window with the Preview Selected in the Aperture Library.

.Mac web galleries

Anyone figure out what ATV 2 wants when it asks for info regarding .Mac web gallery?
the URL?
the name of the gallery?
my .mac user name?
not frustrated, just excited!

I'm confused. When I used iPhoto to publish a gallery to .mac, it finished the task and told me that my gallery is at http://gallery.mac.com/myfirstname.mylastname#100013. I can't find a way to get Apple TV to "see" that gallery. Any advice on what I should enter?
This is not a very Apple-like experience. My experience with Apple has always been that their applications were easy and intuitive. This doesn't seem to be.

Creating .Mac web Galleries with iPhoto '08

OK, I'm fairly new to the Mac world, and started using my .Mac account this week to show vacation photos. I've created a few photo albums and published them to my .Mac account. But now when you go to gallery.mac.com/jasonskwarek you get prompted with a password to access the images. I've checked the galleries in iPhoto, deleted and re-uploaded them, there is no password set there yet I still get this prompt. Anyone have any ideas?
Also, when creating a new album and clicking the Web Gallery icon to create the web gallery it only uploads one image, I have to create the Web Gallery again and the second one will post all the images, I then delete the one that was created first. Am I doing something wrong here as well? I've created maybe 8 galleries and this has happened with every gallery that I upload.
TIA,
Jason

First - are yuou running the latest version of iPhoto - version 7.1.1? - if not update and try again
Second recheck the setttings - select a web gallery in the source pane (the left hand side bar) and click on the options (the little gear lookin thingy at the bottom of the screen) and be sure that everyone is allow to view and that there is no password - sounds like you did but be sure
next would be to delete the gallery, trash you iPhoto preferences and try again
Good Luck

Strange behaviour on preloading web page in WebView

I have the following problem: In my Swing application i'd like to show a web page. In order to do so i use a JFXPanel that contains a WebView. The web page should be loaded in the background and just if the loading process is totally completed i want to make the JFXPanel visible. I use the getLoadWorker().workDoneProperty() method of the corresponding WebEngine to determine if the page is totally loaded.
The problem is, that at the moment the JFXPanel gets visibile I see at first a totally empty panel, and only after a short time the web page in the WebView is visible. I have made a simple Demo Application that reproduces this behaviour. If the page is loaded a button gets enabled and a click on that button adds the WebView to the panel below. Furthermore the following link points to an animated gif which demonstrates the behaviour: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=oh66bl&s=5#.Ujv2IhddWKl
Here is the code of the demo application:

   final WebViewTest navDummy = new WebViewTest();

I don''t understand this behaviour in fact that the page should already been loaded. For mee it seems like the WebView starts renderering the site just at the moment when it gets visible. What can I do to achieve that the WebView already shows the loaded web page at the moment it gets Visible (to avoid this flickr effect)?
I have already posted this issue at StackOverflow (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18873315/javafx-webview-loading-page-in-background ) but didn't get an answer there and found this forum today.
Thanks in advance!

Try the updated version in this post.
It forces an offscreen snapshot before displaying the webview to ensure all of the rendering is done before the WebView is displayed.
The code is kind of ugly and the "solution" is a bit of a hack, you would probably want to clean it up a bit before using it anywhere (for example it is unnecessary to create a new WebView and snapshot the web page on every load - I just did that to get a feel for a worst case scenario and to try to pinpoint where slowdowns are occurring).
A small rectangle moves back and forth across the top of the screen so that animation smoothness can be monitored.
On the first load there will be a slight stutter in the animation, however the rendered web page appears instantly when the clicks the "Show page" button.
As you say, the stutter only occurs the first time the page is loaded, subsequently everything is smooth. If you use a regular progress bar rather than an animation, then the initial stutter is likely fine, as people expect to see pauses in progress bars from time to time (most progress reported by progress bars isn't a smooth linear progression). My guess is that, if you use a regular progress bar, the behaviour experienced with this sample is likely acceptable to almost all users.
Regarding the differences between rendering between JavaFX 2.2 and JavaFX 8, there were many modifications to the internal JavaFX architecture for JavaFX 8 that improved the rendering performance, so that likely accounts for the delta.

Strange behaviour of the web UI

Hi,
I have encountered something weird when i used the web UI of Oracle 10g Express.
I have a table with one of fields defined as Blob type and this table contains a record with data in the blob field.
I used a Java application (created by myself) and standard Java's record fetching methodology to get the record from that table and everything works fine. The key point here is that i am able to retrieve the blob data from the DB.
However, when i used the web UI to update a particular field in that table (e.g. changed a value), i could no longer retrieve the blob data using the Java application. It returned a null instead and moreover, the web UI still indicates that there was value in the blob field.
I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem. Is it a bug?

when i used the web UI to update a particular field in that table (e.g. changed a
value), i could no longer retrieve the blob data using the Java application. It
returned a null instead and moreover, the web UI still indicates that
there was value in the blob field.Post exactly how you update that table.

Strange behaviour syncing with MobileMe Galleries

Hi all. Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find this exact problem I'm having.
I have a few galleries that I sync to and it all works fine except if I ad to a bunch of photos it seems to then upload everything all over again. So if I have a gallery with say 30 photos in it and using Aperture I add another 5, it will synchronise and then upload 35 optimised images. It takes quite a long time to do this, and it all seems a bit pointless.
Am I missing something here or is this just a bug? I'm on the latest version of everything too btw.

It's a bug. I have an issue where if you cancel in the middle of these endless syncs it only loads a portion of the photos. For example the gallery contains 50, I add 5, get tired of waiting for the upload of 55, when I check later I only have 25 photos left in the gallery. I assume they delete everything before loading everything.
Notice also every time you select the gallery object (not the radio icon) it does a full update, changes the order to manual and the key photo to first in the list.

A workaround for Aperture users to use .Mac Web Gallery

As a user who recently switched to Aperture - I was hugely disappointed seeing some amazing new photo-related features in iLife '08 not available for Aperture users. Let alone the cash for purchasing software suites, I can't convince myself switching back to iPhoto for a single feature. So I googled and searched around...
Some pre-requisite for the workaround: You must have iLife '08, Aperture and .Mac installed.
_*Solution 1*_
Create an album in Aperture that contains the images you want to upload to your .Mac Web Gallery. In iPhoto '08, create an empty library, then File > Show Aperture Library, choose the album and import images from there.
The downside of this is the images are your Versions in preview quality.
_*Solution 2*_
Export Versions from Aperture and import the images to iPhoto and perform the upload.
_*Solution 3*_
For users building websites in iWeb, I have seen threads that one could use the media browser in iLife suite to perform similar result but it also limits to the preview quality of Aperture.
I would have to say even the workaround is hugely disappointed but I can't see any other solutions at the moment. I couldn't recall my last ocassion on having such disappointment for Apple's software development.

Apple really needs to rev. Aperture so it sends photos directly to the new .Mac Web Galleries.
Everyone needs to go here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
And voice there opinion there to get this added to Aperture.
Thanks, Scott K.

Video about Web Galleries on TV

Perhaps some of you have already seen this, but Apple recently put up a new video about .Mac Web Galleries on TV. Click on this image:
...and then look for this:
...once it has downloaded, you may have to click the Play button or the above button again to actually view the video.
Assuming Apple's server speeds are up to the job, this effectively means personal worldwide digital TV broadcasting without the hassles of a podcast feed.

Can't access password protected .Mac Web Gallery

Safari is my primary browser. I have been creating web galleries using iLife '08 and my .Mac account and then viewing them with Safari for the past month or so with no trouble. This weekend I tried creating a password protected web gallery and it won't load in Safari. The gear icon just spins forever and has timed out when I have left it alone long enough. My other web galleries continue to load just fine. Clicking on the link from within iPhoto for my password protected gallery doesn't work, typing the url into Safari doesn't work, going to my gallery index and clicking on the icon of the "locked" gallery doesn't work, etc. I can still view all of my other web galleries, but this one that I'm trying to protect just won't load.
This actually appears to be a Safari problem. I don't get a dialog asking for User Name and Password. The url works just fine using Firefox on my Mac, and it also works on a PC running Windows XP. When using something other than Safari, I get the prompt for User Name and Password that I would expect. Upon entering that information, everything looks normal and works just fine.
Tsk tsk Apple! Safari shouldn't be having trouble displaying protected .Mac web galleries. Sheesh!

Just wanted to let you know that I have the EXACT SAME problem, except it is affecting my password protected iWeb site and my Gallery. I can view it from Firefox, so that is the web browser I am using now. I sent a bug report to Apple, and I also send them a request for help using e-mail, but so far I have gotten no response. Hopefully someone is working on the fix?

Can't see web galleries in iweb

I've published multiple .mac web galleries but don't see any of them listed in the widget list in iweb. What am I missing, do I have to do something special to see them?
What's the best way to include my web galleries if I have a ton of them I want to list on my website?

It may not be a bug but a feature to not display any photos that are acutally in the gallery when announcing a protected gallery. I don't know. But you can report by using the iWeb->Provide iWeb Feedback menu option in iWeb.
If the gallery is password protected but your want a photo from the gallery to be in the link, add a small photo to the page, size it to a reasonable size and then link it to the web gallery. When visitors click on the photo link they will be taken to the gallery and have to put in a name and password before they can access it. You can email that info to them in a separate email.
