Unable to publish to .Mac from iPhoto

Dear All,
I am having a bit of a problem with iPhoto and after a clean install coupled with completely wiping .mac and retrying everything I can think off the same problem still exists.
In short, it would appear that .Mac and iPhoto are not playing with each other! Whenever I am signed into .Mac the iPhoto preferences will hang the application as others have detailed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1422965&tstart=0
Also whenever I attempt to publish an album on .Mac, the sync icon appears next to the web album but no data is transmitted between iPhoto and .Mac!!
Is this a problem with my router? Are there some ports I need to enable?!? Is it a problem with .Mac?
Can anyone help me?
Andy

I just fired up my iPhoto 6.0.6 under Mt. Lion and I have no contact option in that version either. You'll have to upgrade to at least iPhoto 7 (08) in order to get contact sheets back. So you might as well upgrade to the latest iPhoto from the App Store.
If you also want the latest versions of iWeb and iDVD (which have been discontinued by Apple) you'll have to purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11.

Unable to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto

Hi there,
Since installing Lion 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro I no longer get the option to print Contact Sheets from iPhoto. I'm running quite an old version of it I think (Version 6.0.6), however this was no problem before the upgrade.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.

Friend unable to save photo sent from iPhoto

This is weird but maybe one of you have encountered it. A friend who has Windows XP :>( can view photos I send from iPhoto but she apparently can't SAVE them. It may be a problem peculiar to her machine. I tried attaching one directly to e-mail but it's way too big. I tried using the FILE/EXPORT method, resizing to half size which worked on my end and am waiting to hear if she could save it.
Anyone have any ideas?

I sent out a plea for help to knowledgeable people in my e-mail address book (amazing how few but then - I don't count myself as knowledgeable).
Apparently this is an actual problem - but it’s erratic. One person e-mailed the following:
“Well, I saved this into my file folder on my pc...then I opened it and it was there. Then I copied it and put it into this e-mail to send to you.”
Another person - who was manager of a Windows Forum that I belonged to and very knowledgeable sent the following:
“It would not open in Internet Explorer.
I tried it again using Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/).
Right click>copy>paste in Irfanview>save as....it worked. Irfanview is a free photo editing software.
It does work in Paint. Right click copy>paste in Paint>save as a Jpeg”
So the problem is solved - by outsiders without a Mac - LOL. I should have thought of Irfanview - I do have it - via Boot Camp on my Mac- and on my old PC which is not connected to the internet. I wish Irf had a Mac version - it isn’t a highly sophisticated photo editing program but it can open files that no other programs can & is spot on when it comes to resizing.
My friend has responded:
“Hi: Well I downloaded Irfanview and low and behold, it worked. I now have your picture as my screensaver. Thanks for all the help! Looks like something I should keep in mind when I have other files or whatever I can't open.”

Unable to publish to .mac - RSS file corruption problems?

Help, I'm using iWeb 1.1.2, and when I publish I get an unable to publish error. I try the rec'd "Publish All" option to no avail. Then, when scanned files on my idisk, I discovered that some of my rss files, while they are identified as "rss.xml" by name, they are described as a PBEM Game File. Initially, when I clicked on the rss.xml file it opened a silly suite of games tat cam eon my Mac. So, I associated the file with Safari rather than the Big Bang Game program. This changed the file kind to xml. However, when I tried publishing again, it converted the file back to a Game File?
Any way to get those RSS files to go up to my iDisk as xml and not the game files? And, how did they get associated withteh game anyway?

Suddenly unable to publish to .Mac (or to a folder) - had been working fine

Yikes! I've been working on a site for over a week now, and have published to .Mac a dozen times or so. Just now I'm getting:
"Publish Error
An unknown error occurred."
(I retried several times: "Publish to .Mac," to a folder, and Publish All to .Mac.)
Any ideas. The only thing I can think of is that several of my headlines were getting nastily chopped up in tests in IE, so I changed them from text to .pict images, with the hope that IE wouldn't cough at the font and/or spacing. Now I do have multiple files named "droppedImage.pict" -- could this be part (or all) of the problem.
Please help!
Thank you, thank you!!

Okay, I figured out what was causing the publish to fail:
I had two small black spots (about the size of the white boxes on the resizable frames around objects) hiding in the undermost layer of the home page. I remember these two spots (which turned out to be two discrete objects) appearing as an artifact after I dragged a droppedimage.pict I had pasted onto the page to its proper position. At the time I thought it was just a refresh/rendering artifact, so I popped all my intended objects to the front. When I moved all the objects I wanted to keep out of the way, the two black spots were still on my background. I was able to select and delete them. Now publish works fine again. I only typed this up in case some other person suffers from black spot disease.

Publish Error whilst publishing to .Mac from iWeb

Hello.
I have suddenly started getting an error "Publish Error. An error occured whilst publishing file xxx" whilst trying to publish my website from within iWeb.
I have the latest version of iWeb (1.1.2). It used to work OK and I have made no recent changes other than to add a new photograph page. I have plenty of free space on .Mac.
I have tried the following:
- Publishing to Folder (this works fine)
- Deleting the offending file. I then get the error on another file.
- Deleting the domain file and the com.apple.iweb.plist files in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and ~/Library/Preferences. I then tried uploading a default site template and got the same error.
- Following the steps on http://karreth.com/iweb/22070571-B241-4C09-840B-288E0EC491F6.html. Same error.
- Creating a new user account and publishing a default iWeb template. Same error.
- Manually deleting all site and rss content from iDisk using Finder, then Publish All to .Mac. Same error.
So, it seems that the error is not related to my web content, nor is it related to my iWeb configuration files. I can connect to my iDisk using Finder without problems and browse the contents, so it is not an issue with .Mac either.
How can I fix this? The error message is useless and I can't find any more detail in the console logs.
Thanks,
Paul

Difficulty to publish to MobileMe from iPhoto

Good day,
I have an iPhoto folder which contains 862 pictures.
When I want to share it with MobileMe, it says that it will publish only 500 photos. That's what it did.
To complete the whole publishing, I displayed the iPhoto folder (862 photos) and the MobileMe folder (500 photos) with the same order (title i alphabetical order), then I noticed the first picture not published, selected it until the last picture and chose to publish the selected pictures into a new MobileMe folder.
But, i the end, I got only 226 pictures published instead of the remaining 362.
What ca I do to be sure to publish the whole original iPhoto folder?
Thank you

I would start over - delete the MobileMe galleries in iPhoto and create 8 albums of 100 photos each (162 in the last one) select each of the albums and click on the MobileMe button to publish them - you can publish up to 500 in one gallery but I recommend against it - it takes forever for your viewers to open and since you should not make changes to a gallery while it is being published you are likely to mess such a large gallery up - My largest gallery is about 275 photos I believe

Unable to import movie files from iphoto '08 into imovie HD

I have recently bought a 2008 macbook (2.2 GHz) and have recently downloaded imovie HD in addition to owning iLife '08 due to its extra capabilities. I have found that I am unable to import any of my movie files from my iphoto library folder as it seems to need to open the actual iphoto application before the files can be accessed. In addition, when not using any specific program it would be nice to be able to access my photo/video files within the iphoto folder without iphoto automatically opening as the default viewer.
Any ideas??!! Thanks.

.. and I import AVI video clips directly without converting to .dv, without problems.
lucky you.. .avi is just a container, no 'format'/codec .. I can show you dozends of .avis, which will NOT import into iMHD6, due to being playback-codecs, not convertable by the underlying Quicktime engine into separte, editable audio+video streams ..
.. If you convert to .dv, the size just blows up.
dv is 13GB/h and a codec meant for editing; e.g. it stores every frame (video=30 frams/sec) of a recording, as mpegs usually doesn't do so.. = your Mac has to estimate content, when converting and 'recovering' the content = lossy process.
iMHD6 is a dv-editor; the mpeg4 feature is only a toy, to spice up iSight recordings.. for sure, the QTengine can convert a lot, but too much conversion (from one lossy codec, e.g. divx, into another, e.g. mp4) means a (dramatic) loss of pic quality..
my 5€ cents ..

I'm unable to export any slideshow from Iphoto 9.5.1?

After creating a slide show in the latest version of IPhoto with music attached, i am unable to export the slideshow as standard definition or high definition. The export progress bar pops up with a black screen but never moves or creates the show? Anyone have any ideas? I am on a Mac Pro on OS X 10.9.3.

Some folks have fixed this by reinstalling iPhoto:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Publishing to Mac from PC with Flash Builder 4.6

I have recently switched from Flash Pro to Flash Builder to write actionscript projects. I would like to publish the finished application for both PC and Mac. I don't want to use the air installer as most potential customers won't have air installed. I have tried the captive runtime option, and this will work well for the PC version, but I am unsure how to package the resulting files for use on a Mac or whether there is a more suitable option for the Mac app (such as the Mac Projector in Flash Pro)
Any help would be appreciated.
Richard

Hi Richard,
I'm moving your post our to our Flash Builder forum.

Unable to publish to .Mac

Hi!
I love iWeb, and am dying to use it for a real web site, but I have been unable to get it to successfully publish my test site (home page, blog page, and photo page) to .Mac. Every time I try it, I get a publishing error that says:
An error occurred while publishing file “index.html”.
I can't get past this, no matter what I try. Does anyone have any thoughts/ideas?
Thanks!
- John

I am also having the same problem. I was able, yesterday, to upload successfully a couple of times, but then my daughter came in and updated her part of the site with about six new pages and then when we tried to upload this to the .mac account, we began to get the following error:
error: navbar8rollover.png
At first I thought it might be that the rollover was too large, for she used very long titles for the pages. I have since reduced the sizes of these, but to no avail. I have also uploaded to a folder on the desktop, but the text on the rollover navbar has not been updated. Even so the size of the area for the text has been changed to fit the text I actually typed. This makes for a really strange look... Long titles which were supposedly deleted centered in a small area. Not really usable.
This looks to me like several errors rolled up into one...
Any other ideas?
Cheers!

I am unable to transfer my pictures from iphoto after editing back to my external hard disc. How do I do it. Previously I used Windows and this is the first time I am using a Macbook. Need help and tutorials.. Where can I find em..

Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing. How am I able to do it. will it be able to open in Windows OS... Previously I was using Windows and now i m new in using the Apple OS.. Need guidance.. Would really appreciate if any1 of u guys could help me through. are there any other applications that I could use to edit pictures.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

Why is the item count in Photos for Mac significantly higher after upgrading from iPhoto?

Since upgrading to Photos for Mac from iPhoto, I've noticed the number of photos and videos in my library is higher than what I had before. Granted I imported some photos into the new app since then but taking that into account there's still a big discrepancy.
In iPhoto 9.6.1, the item count is 13,394 and I have since imported 95 new items into Photos for Mac. The total then should be 13,489 but Photos for Mac lists the item count at 13,626. That's a difference of 137 items.
Even taking into consideration that Photos for Mac might be including the 32 photos and videos that were in iPhoto's Trash (now Recently Deleted) folder, it still wouldn't account for 105 mystery items.
Does anyone have any insight into this difference in the number of items?

If I publish a web diary from IPhoto to iCloud will it then be public, so that strangers can find it and read it.

If I publish my projects from IPhoto to ICloud to save them, will they then be public, so that strangers can read them?

I am not a security expert and cannot quantify risk. I do not put anything on the Internet that I do not wish to see on the front page of a newspaper.
Having said that, I do use secure connections from some on-line services (banks, for example). Candidly, I do not completely trust any system to be completely secure (witness the recent Target hack).

Absolutely can't publish to .mac

like the title says, I just can't publish to .mac, I tried almost everything, and every time I get the following error:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.
I tried publishing from another user, new site from scratch, trashed all prefs, ...
Nothing works... i think it's a problem with my iDisk, since /Web/Sites is the directory on your iDisk iWeb publishes to, but how you reset your iDisk? I trashed all files in the directory Sites and RSS but that didn't help...
Any help, I'm getting desperate...
THANKS!
P.S. I'm using iWeb 2.0.2

I just got a reply from Apple, but just the usual proposals, so I answered right back, here's my answer:
Dear David,
Thanks for the response, I will try to answer your mail as good as possible.
First, the possible solutions you mention.
- I have the last version of iweb, version 2.0.2
- I tried republishing all pages to .mac. The error happens when I choose "publish all" or just "publish"
What happens, is iWeb starts to create all the web pages, and then starts uploading. Then it even starts uploading all the pages, when all pages are uploaded, the progress bars are all filled, I get one of the following errors:
*An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.*
or "an unknow error occurred"
or *An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.*
After that all pages appear as unpublished. The strange thing is that the pages are in fact published, but iWeb sees them as unpublished. However all .mac functions as comments, search boxes and counters don't work...
- I tried publishing my sites over a dozen times, over several days. Publishing takes a very long time, over 6 hours... So every day I give it another try, but with no success...
- My .mac password isn't over 20 characters long...
- I can publish to a folder. That's what I did right now, I published my sites to a folder and manually uploaded them to my iDisk. But that takes a very, very long time, and doesn't give me an convenient way to just publish changes to the site, and also the .mac functions like search, comments, etc. don't work then.
- My sites aren't password protected.
- I can upload to my iDisk.
- I don't have any other network problems, I could publish to .mac in the past and my network hasn't changed since. All network or internet related apps work as they always did.
So I guess, I tried all your proposed solutions but publishing still doesn't work...
If you are still unable to publish to .Mac with iWeb, please respond to this message with the following information:
- A detailed description of the troubleshooting steps you have taken
I think I tried almost anything, publishing to a folder, choosing publish all, deleted all files from my iDisk and started over, and all the proposed solutions above. I've been using Mac's since 1992, so I do know my way around, but that's one problem I just can't seem to solve...
- A step-by-step description of what you were trying to accomplish when the error messages occurred
I just choose publish all, or publish, doesn't matter, always the same error and iWeb sees all my pages in my 3 sites as unpublished.
- The exact text (if possible) of the error messages you received
"an unknown error occurred"
"an error occurred
- A description of your network, including whether it has hubs, routers, cable or DSL modems, wireless routers (including AirPort), or proxy servers
I have a dsl line, connected to an airport express. I use my Powerbook wireless over airport.
Please also answer these questions:
- Does this issue occur with other computers on your network?
There are no other computers in my network
- Does this issue occur when your computer is on a different network?
I have the same network setup at the office, dsl to an airport express, I have the same errors there.
- When were you last able to publish to .Mac successfully?
I think a few weeks ago... I can publish to my .mac Gallery from iPhoto and can manually upload to my iDisk. All other .mac functions as sync and backup also seem to work...
Hopes this helps to find a solution for my problem, and that I can publish my sites again from iWeb.
If you need any more information, I'll gladly answer them.
Thanks in advance,
Yours sincerely,
Dave Depickere
i hope they'll reply swiftly, so this can be solved!
I'll keep you informed!
