Unable to upload iPhoto Album to Photocast

Hi everyone
Am new to the forums as have only recently got back into Macs.
My problem is that I have organised my Photos in iPhoto and have some that I want to upload to Photocast. The first couple of tests went fine (adds, changes, deletes) but over the last couple of weeks I get a failure during the upload about my dotmac account not being valid (which it is). Today have swapped from Trial to Full incase this was causing a problem.
To add to my problems I have managed to upload one album which I have subsequently deleted and the photocast has not been removed. How can I delete it?
Any and all suggestions to identify and resolve the problems would be appreciated.

TimUK:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's been problems with the servers the last few days and users have been reporting issues with validation of the .Mac account right and left. I am one of them.
The solution that seems to work for most of us is to log into your .Mac account and reenter your account information and save. Some users have reported it took 5 or 6 attempts before it took. So give that a try and see if it will reset for you.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Unable to upload iPhoto book to print from iPad

    I have been unable to upload my iPhoto book to print it from my iPad...
    It will go through the process of requesting apple ID password --> verifying my credit card --> then will say "placing order. uploading project"  and look like it is uploading (ie blue bar showing progress) and sometimes this is progressing for hours, but then the app will crash and close down.
    Things I've tried/confirmed so far:  I have the up to date versions of iOS and iPhoto, I have it connected to wi-fi and plugged in, I have closed down all other apps on the iPad
    Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?
    Is there a way to upload it from my computer instead? -- I have a PC but have been unable to find the 'book' or photos in iTunes or elsewhere on the computer to even try this...
    Thanks for any help!

    You have covered most issues, but you do not mention how much free memory you are having on your iPad. Submitting a book for printing need plenty of free memory on your iPad, about the same amount as the combined size of your photos. Could it be, that you are running out of memory?
    Another reason might be an unprintable, corrupted photo in your book.

    To order a photo book from Apple you need an Apple computer or an iOS device.
    To transfer the photos to your PC see:

  • How to upload iPhoto albums advice

    I and the wife have now got some great storage space in my iCloud account and in particular the other half  needs to upload several iPhoto albums for safe keeping whilst we are in process of moving.
    Is there any method that others have used with success, that will also allow her to upload and also allow her show some of the pics on her iP4s when visiting friends etc.
    I couldn't find a tutorial on this subject
    Help much appreciated,

    You can't - iCloud is not for backup of your Mac nor a place for your Mac to store photos - the new Photos Application due later this year will store photos on iCloud
    You can use MyPhotoStream or SharedPhotoStreams to share photos with IOS devices or with other people - https://www.apple.com/support/icloud/

  • Unable to set iPhoto album as desktop background.

    For a long time I had an iPhoto album as my desktop background, set to change pictures every minute.  I switched the background recently, and now when I open up system preferences to try to change it back to the iPhoto album, none of my iPhoto albums show up in the Desktop & Screen Saver pane.  There is a section called "Apple" with a drop-down arrow, then the iPhoto section which used to but doesn't currently have a drop-down arrow that would let you see all of your iPhoto albums, and a "Folders" section where you can add folders from your computer.

  • Unable for Apple Store to upload IPhoto album due to "error occured unloading order"

    Trying to order IPhot album.  When Apple store tries to upload picture I get message "error occured uploading order".

    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
    Are you speaking of a photo book? (an album is an iPhoto organizational element) If so will it preview correctly? 
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If it does and you still can not purchase it boot into safe mode and try

  • Unable to upload iPhotos to Flickr

    I have 26 Albums currently in iPhoto under a Flickr folder. But when I go to the linked Flickr site, only 12 of those albums exist on my Flickr account. I have tried reuploading the missing folders individually but no luck. Any suggestions?
    Running iPhoto v9.6 on Yosemite v10.10.1.

    I don't think so - just following the same workflow I always have
    1) Select raw images
    2) place them in the album I want in Flickr in the Flickr module
    3) Ask it to publish
    I think it's usually converting to jpg as it uploads. In this particular case, it's only images, no video files.
    Worked for a long time and suddenly, not working.
    This is also being discussed in flickr forums (Flickr: Discussing Lightroom has stopped uploading to flickr in Lightroom 3 and above: Flickr Publish Service)

  • Aperture 3 trial - unable to upload iPhoto library

    Have tried and tried - even tried manual but it hangs time and time again and has to be forced to quit
    I really wanted to buy this product and it looks really good but to produce a trial that falls at the first fence is very poor and not exactly 'applish'
    So my 30 days will be up and I have only managed to have a play with the brushes by uploading 1 image at a time
    To be honest I'm thinking of sticking with GIMP if this is all the functionality I can get , and that is free!

    Well if any of your images is replaced by a ! when you try to view it full size?
    Try rebuild the iPhoto Library
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How do I download (upload) iPhoto albums toa DvD?

    I want to create a DvD for a relative with a series of old pictures of family members.  I have three different albums for three different branches of the family.  How can I get them into a folder on my hard drive and then burn them on a DvD?  Or is there a simpler method.

    Open the album - select all and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder - repeat as needed - burn the desktop folder(s) to CD or DVD

  • I recently re-loaded iphoto, and now am unable to upload photos from my camera - saying there is insufficient disk space

    I recently re-loaded iphoto, and now am unable to upload photos from my camera - saying there is insufficient disk space. does anyone have a solution?

    Assuming you have space on your disk, then it could be a symptom of a damaged Library.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

    I used to upload any picture to Fbook which was in my Iphoto.  Now, I can only upload pictures from IPhoto which are a week old.  I'm unable to upload any recent pics from Iphoto to FBook - like pics I uploaded to I photo today.  They are in IPhoto, but once I'm on FB, and want to upload, they aren't available to choose.  Help?  Thanks!  Louise

    thanks for replying. 
    the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do.  it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes.  it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
    do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop?  and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from?  sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy. 
    i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'? 
    as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder.  was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything.  once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto.  this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over.  it will basically be a lot of deleting.
    one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck.  :-) 
    thanks again, for your help.

    Do you mean trying to purchase an iPhoto book?  Try rebooting and ordering again.  If that fails Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try ordering from there.

  • I am unable to add jpeg attachments to my iPhoto album

    I am unable to add jpeg attachments to a received email to my iphoto album by click on the save/iPhoto pull dowen menu.  In prior systems a simple click would open iPhot and add the photos directy to it as a new event.  Now I have to open them in quick look, open iphoto and then drag and drop them to get them added.  Takes more time and is very cumbersom.
    Is there something that I am doing wrong or have not set a preference some where?  I am running the latest update to OS 10.8 and iPhoto.

    I've seen quite a few posts reporting this issue, and I know Apple is aware of it.  Meanwhile, you can get them to iPhoto either the way you suggested, or you can save the attachment, then drag it to iPhoto from the Downloads folder.

  • Uploading photo album from iphoto library

    New at Mac. I have 2 thousands photos on my Mac. I have created many albums for these on Iphoto. When I want to upload these albums , i do not have access to my iphoto library . Instead i get the library where the photos have been downloaded by the hundred and some are not related. Why when uploading i cannot have access to my iphoto library with my albums.. This is very frustrating ..thanks again for the answers.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Unable to upload a music album to music library. i was able to upload with older version of iTunes.

    unable to upload a music album to music library. i was able to upload with older version of iTunes. with the latest update this issue started happening

    You're probably trying to purchase iTunes Plus songs - which, yes, will require an updated version of iTunes to purchase. To play them, however, you won't need to update iTunes. This, like you said, will force you to purchase them on another computer and then transfer.
