Syncing photos from Web Gallery

I've been using my web gallery for the past year, and it has worked out great. Family from all over are able to view and upload pictures, which is perfect for me to "sync" and then make fun calendar's, books and slideshows out of. I recently created a new album of my cousin's wedding and have been able to sync just fine until the other day. Now, there are dotted outlines of new pictures in iPhoto, but not the pictures themselves....any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Kat

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That occurs when iPhoto loses the path to the original file. It can happen if there's an interruption while iPhoto is writing to the database file, Librry6.iPhoto, or if the user renames or moves files within the iPhoto Library package from the Finder.
Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>

Bridge CS4 - Save/Print Photos from Web Gallery

I have only been using Bridge CS4 for the last couple months to put web galleries on a web page. I don't know how to change the settings to allow people to save/print the photos from the web gallery once it is posted on the website. I used to create the photo album in Macromedia with "create web photo album" but this was apparently replaced with Bridge, but the old method allowed for saving and printing. Any help is appreciated on allowing this to happen with Bridge web gallery.

Solved!
This works for Windows. I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
         alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
             alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
         alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
     return alteredName;
...with the following:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
                var alteredName;
                while (true)
                                alteredName = "_";
                                alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
                                var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
                                if (!f.exists)
                                                break;
                return alteredName;
You can cut and paste the above. Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
Cheers!

Captioning and Keywords NOT retained on download of photos from Web Gallery

I noticed that the CAPTIONING information for photos on a web gallery ARE viewable while on the web gallery page(clicking on info), but are NOT included if you choose to download the photo. Not seen in the photo on download by viewing EXIF info, or "get info" from the Finder, nor available if I reimported the downloaded photo back into iPhoto 8.
Am I missing something regarding the way to store information. I had uploaded a lot of photos with important information for family members downloading embedded in the captioning??
BTW, the keywords ALSO were not downloaded or retained.

Scott:
When published to a web gallery that information is not added to the file but to the slideshow files. The only time that info is written to the files is upon export with the checkbox selected to add Title and Keywords and Comments.
Even if the metadata is written to the files at the time they are imported into iPhoto, the files that get uploaded to the iDisk have that metadata stripped out of the file.
Do you Twango?

IPhoto doesn't bring in new uploaded photos from web gallery

Published album to web gallery; had folks upload pics to that one; auto-sync into iPhoto worked fine. Updated OSX to 10.5.3 yesterday; had more pics uploaded from folks to the web gallery; iPhoto is not syncing anymore. Running latest upgrades. Suggestions (besides rolling back the upgrade)?

Well, tried Disk Utility to repair permissions after the upgrade and that solved the issue somehow even though it didn't find issues related to iPhoto.

Can someone download photos from web gallery?

Can someone download individual photos from my web gallery? I am posting about 40 photos in the web gallery.I want people that visit to be able to download the photos they want. I tried it and it is set to download the entire album compressed. The visitors probably will only want 1 photo. Maybe there is a better application for this type of use.
I am new to this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, individual photos can be downloaded. Looks like you already have the Allow Downloading setting on since the entire album (compressed) is available.
If a visitor clicks on any thumbnail in an album, and loads the corresponding screen-sized photo, each photo has a little toolbar that fades in at the bottom where a down-pointing arrow is the button to download the individual photo. This will be the (up to) 6 megapixel-sized photo and not the screen-sized one.

Keeping photos in web gallery

I would like to delete photos from my iPhoto storage but do not want the deleted from web gallery. Is this possible? Everytime I try, the web gallery in iPhoto syncs with the web gallery on my .mac account. Maybe there is someway to stop the sync for that particular gallery? I don't know how to do this.

You could create an iWeb photo page with those photos and once published delete those photos from your library. The web page would have a URL address just like the web gallery does only the iWeb page has a little more pizzazz than the web gallery.

Using a shared photo in Web Gallery

My wife and I share a computer and we each have a .Mac account. However, all of our pictures are in iPhoto under her login.
I would like to publish a Web Gallery using my .Mac account and photos shared from her iPhoto library.
However when I include a shared photo in the Web Gallery it imports it into my iPhoto Library, giving me two copies of the same photo, one in her iPhoto library and another in mine, thereby duplicating the photo which is not what I want.
Is there a way to use a shared Photo in Web Gallery and maintain the relationship to the original photo and not duplicate the picture?

Roger
No, because as far the the Mac is concerned, it's not yours to Share until it's in your Library.

Syncing photos from Adobe Bridge?

I have hunted across the web and haven't even found a page that discusses the question, let alone answers it:
Is it possible to sync photos TO an iPod from Adobe Bridge?
I suspect the answer is no (or at least, not directly).
Ideally, what I would like to do is "sync selected collections" to my iPod, including both ordinary collections and smart collections.
(If you're not familiar with Adobe Bridge—it's a file browser/organizer that, unlike iPhoto, views the actual native folder structure on the computer, rather than having its own database separate from the file structure. Ordinarily you use Bridge to look at photos—or video files or whatever—directly in their containing folders. However, if you want, you can create collections or smart collections. These are exactly analogous to iPhoto's albums and smart albums, so I won't waste time describing them in detail.)
Since I suspect there is no way set up within iTunes or iOS to sync from Bridge's collections, I am looking for workarounds that will allow me to do this.
The collections, incidentally, are really just XML documents containing a list of file names (including the full path for each file). Smart collections are XML lists of criteria.
I have monkeyed around with aliases and symbolic links coupled with the iTunes "sync photos from folder..." dialogue, and it appears that only hard links will work—not symbolic links to files, not symlinks to directories and certainly not aliases.
What's needed, then (and I believe this is the only way to accomplish my objective without doubling the hard disk space taken up) is a script/droplet/workflow/whatever that will take the collections from Bridge and create hardlinks for all photos from all collections, in a new directory (with the descriptive title "iPod syncing photos folder with hardlinks of collections' photos"—or maybe something shorter, heh heh.)
Can anyone scripting savvy point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this?

The solution I finally came up with involves hard links, and two separate automator workflows. I posted about it in detail here: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=103600
Hope this helps someone else.

How do I delete photos from the gallery that were downloaded from FB or google?

New user. I am trying to delete photos from my gallery in the Samsung S4. If I had taken the photos with the camera phone, the trashcan shows up and I can delete. But if I select the downloaded photos- no trashcan icon shows up. I have tried stopping sync, deleting downloads etc. It's driving me nuts!

Checking a friends S4 I see that using the Gallery app that long-pressing checks the photo and brings up a Trash Can. I see that tapping a phot opens it full screen and tapping once again brings up options to send, share, or delete. Pictures in other folders to include Bluetooth share, messaging, and screenshots produces the same results.

Remove album from Web Gallery (not in Iphoto)

I have a album in my Web Gallery but it's not in my IPhoto. I am trying to remove it from Web Gallery but can not figure out how?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into iPhoto's Preferences/Web Gallery. If the gallery is listed then select it and hit the Stop Publishing button.
If the gallery is not listed then mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Sites/Web/_gallery folder. If you have more than one gallery you'll have to look inside each of the gallery folders (they are just numbered and hard identify which is which) to determine which is the gallery you want to delete. When you find it drag it to the trash.
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) database file and keep it current.

Brigde CS5 in Windows 7 64bit - drops out photos in Web Gallery preview

Is there a limit to the number of photos that web gallery will display? I created a web gallery and then started over again as instructions I read stated that I should put the TITLE on each photo. Once I put the title in, out of 24 photos that use to display, only 20 now display.
Can someone explain why this is happening? I haven't even gotten to the point of trying to embed in my website yet. Perhaps Bridge isn't the best tool to use?
Thanks to anyone who can offer any insight as to why this is happening.
Daisey

And right you are! After posting this message I started reading through all the help files and finally did find the same answer. Now my problem is the linking as I have a very strange hosting set up. Two sites, same directory. So all my images have broken links. Something new to work out!
Cheers!

Unable to sync photos from iPhoto

Got an 8GB iPod Touch yesterday. I can sync everything except my photos from iPhoto. When I go to the Photo tab in iTunes, I place a tick in the check-box that says "Sync photos from:" and then I select iPhoto from the Combo-box. There are 2 radio buttons but only "All photos and albums" is available... "Selected Albums" is greyed out. The box below the radio buttons is also grey and has no entries.
If I try to sync "All photos and albums" I get an error message on my computer that reads: "The iPod [iPod name] cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
Software updates have all been applied, I have restored my iPod, have verified and fixed file permissions, etc. I have rebuilt the iPhoto library (Command-Option). Both iTunes and iPhoto have been working fine, with no other problems. I am using iLife '08 so I am using iPhoto '08 (version 7.1 (347)).
Has anyone any experience with the problem? I'm thinking that my next step is to reinstall iPhoto/iTunes but I would much rather not have to do that... any suggestions?
Regards,
Bill
P.S. I can sync photos from my desktop, just not from iPhoto '08.
P.P.S. My 5th gen video iPod can sync photos from my iPhoto library!

Hi Damon,
Thanks for the update and the suggestion of trying a new user account... I don't know why that didn't occur to me. Well, you will not be too surprised to hear that with a new user account the photos synced no problem.
That leaves me with an iPhoto library rebuild on my hands. The Apple provided rebuild didn't resolve my issue when I tried it last week. So I will need to do a manual rebuild... something which I have done once before but vowed never to do again as I lost hundreds of hours of work organising and tagging my photos... something which I have invested considerable time in recovering and don't want to lose them again.
With Leopard around the corner, I will be performing a clean install of the new OS on a fresh HDD within the month, so I am going to recreate my iPhoto library that way... rather than invest time now only to see it wasted later.
Thanks once again for the pointers to those Apple docs... most useful.
Kind regards,
William

You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone. This has never been a feature of iphone.
You sync them as you would anything esle.
You select photos from the photos tab. Whatever is selected will be on your iphone. Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2.
for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync. I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up. I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue????? I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

problem solved using this thread...
