Uploading photos to web gallery.

I am thinking of a full subscription to .mac and have been viewing the online vids.
One of the videos was promoting the benefit of uploading the photo from an iPhone, and the screen clearly shows 4 choices when you're in Photo.
The 4 choices are....
Use as wallpaper
Email photo
Assign to contact
Send to web gallery
The problem is that my iPhone (on the latest sofware release of 1.1.4) does NOT have the 4th option 'Upload to web gallery'.
I have phoned Apple Tech Support but he was of no help whatsoever.
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS 4TH OPTION ISSUE?
Thank you.
Speeddemon.

You must have a .Mac account set up on your iPhone. That’s the trigger that tells the iPhone to show the Send to Web Gallery button when you tap the Send button when viewing a picture.
Next, you must have iPhoto version 7.0.1. The version of iPhoto that ships with iLife ‘08 is version 7.0. Use Software Update to obtain 7.0.1 and update iPhoto.
Finally, in iPhoto create a Web Gallery. When you click the Web Gallery button, be sure to enable the Allow Photo Uploading By Email option.

I have attempted for 30 minutes now...
I have full internet service, no prob with my connections, I've even done a restart
any word of wisdom would be helpfull
Thankyou

Picturepro:
Are you running the latest version of iPhoto, 7.0.2? Additionally, do you have any quote marks, tildes (~) or other non standard characters in the gallery name or file names?
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.

Uploading photos through web gallery not working.

People
When people access my web galleries and use the upload feature and it accepts the uploaded files, but, the photos don't appear in the web gallery or get synched to my iPhoto. However, using the upload feature through email does work!
Any ideas on that?
Also, once synched with web galleries on my iPhoto, how come the photos don't automatically appear in the event that the person uploaded the photo to in the fist place? The photos appear in the event under Web Gallery on iPhoto but not the actual event. Does that make sense?
Cheers
Al

Same prob here (EU).
Looks like uploading through the web interface (while browsing the web gallery) doesn't work.
E-mailing a picture works a treat, though...
Tried also using firefox (I'm on a MBP with all the latest software versions) but no luck!
I've looked also at the contents of my iDisk (it had to be in the loop!) and indeed found that the web gallery is under <.macmember_name>/Web/Sites/gallery/<id> and every picture that's in the gallery has its own folder named after the picture name containing 5 files: *large.jpg, medium.jpg, web.jpg, square.jpg and reflect-medium.jpg* (their meaning is quite obvious...)
The pictures I sent through the web interface didn't produce results in my iDisk whatsoever, while the one I sent using mail had this new folder-files created in the right way...
I think this upload feature is seriously flawed...

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.

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!

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.

How to view photos on Web Gallery?

So, on TV I go to Photo> .Mac>Web Gallery>then I type the web gallery web address (not easy with the remote)
I tried a few times, I get a message saying that Tv can't find it. Same web gallery works fine on my Mac.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
F

Props for figuring that one out. For those who stumble on this post -- use the .mac user name without "@mac.com" -- just the user name itself.
Thanks

Importing photos others have uploaded to my web gallery into my library

My web galleries seem to be working great...a few people have uploaded their own photos and they have synched down to my web galleries. But what is the best way to import my friends' photos into my iPhoto library? I want them to appear in my Events, not just under the Web Gallery section.
I tried to select my friends photos and copy them to my library and it didn't look like it worked, so I tried again. Then I noticed that all of a sudden I had 100 photos in my web gallery, when I only uploaded 20 and my friend added another 10. There were several duplicates of each.
Help! What's the best way to do this? Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you publish a gallery as you indicated, hidden, visitors to your public web gallery will not see it and have access to it unless they are given the URL by you. Conversely, visitors to the hidden gallery will not have access to the other galleries from that hidden gallery.

Photos uploaded to my Web Gallery show up where in iPhoto??

I created a Web Gallery and asked my family to add to it - which they have done. I see the photos in iPhoto under the 'MOBILEME GALLERY' in the sidebar - but they are not in any of the Events. When I try to manually add the photo, it says it's already in the library?!!?
I have tried labeling the photos and then finding them via an iPhoto search, but they just aren't there.
Where does iPhoto put photos added via Web Gallery??

Yes - that was one of the 1st things I tried. I also gave the photos specific keywords only used on those photos, "yellow" for example. Searching photos for any photo having the keyword "yellow" shows no results.
If I right click on the photos in the MOBILEME GALLERY sidebar of iPhoto and click 'Show File' - it opens a folder named 'Jan 18, 2008', and the photos are sitting there.
Dragging the actual files to a new gallery gives the same warning, that the files are already in the library.

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?

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.

Uploading Photos to MobileMe Gallery results in "Request to Server Failed"

Hello everyone!
I've run across a very frustrating problem.
I am wanting to upload some photos to a MobileMe gallery from within iPhoto '08 (Version 7.1.4; Mac OS X 10.4.11). When I start the upload, it runs for several minutes and the progress bar appears with the message "Uploading Thumbnails". After several minutes of this (usually the progress bar gets about 1/4 of the way through), I get an error message that says "Request to Server Failed". If I try to then restart the upload by clicking on the alert icon next to the gallery name in the sidebar, the gallery disappears.
I have tried deleting the iPhoto caches from ~/Library/Caches and the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file from ~/Library/Preferences. I have logged out of MobileMe from System Preferences and had iPhoto log me back in. Nothing seems to work. I keep getting this error.
I have published photos to .Mac Gallery in the past (but not since the transition to MobileMe. Those galleries are still there on the web and listed in the sidebar. I'm afraid of messing with them though for fear that they too will disappear.
I've done Google searches and searches here on Apple Discussions and found no definite solutions.
I could really use some help on this one. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

How many galleries do you have? If only a few try deleting them manually from the iDisk/Web/Sites/_gallery folder and republish from iPhoto.

Others uploading to my web gallery

I was hoping someone here can help. I have set up a web gallery from imovie, where people can view my movies, but i was hoping that they could also upload to it and put their videos in. I thought this was possible, but for some reason, the upload button does not appear.
Have i got the wrong end of the stick, and its not actually possible, or am i missing something. If you can shed light on this, that would be great!

did you make yours in imovie or iphoto?
You may well be correct here. Test galleries were first duplicated in both applications for comparison purposes in earlier version, later deleted, and re-published by single application with "Upload" option selected to see what it would do. Last month the 2007 photos were archived to DVD and iMovie "events" were deleted (keeping Mini-DV tapes as archives) as part of my annual "Spring Cleaning" effort. All I really remember was being presented with the option to select the "Upload" option and using either a "Browser" and/or "E-Mail" application to allow relatives and "party goers" to add their own files but not one person elected to do so and I stopped including the option.

Added photos in web gallery synced back to iPhoto?

when others add photos to my web galleries, i can't find where they are synced back to on my mac. For example, if I publish an event "Beach" and my friend adds a picture taken from her camera to the web gallery, it does not sync back to the original 'beach' event in my iphoto library....instead its saved to an unlisted '2008' - 'originals' folder in iPhoto. Is there a way so that if someone adds a photo to the web gallery it will sync back to the original event folder that the web gallery was published from?

You're not neurotic MJM80, This problem drives me nuts.
I created a web gallery album through ME.com from my office computer. The album shows up in iPhoto under MOBILEME GALLERY on my Mac at home but it does not create an album or even in iphoto that corresponds to the web gallary album. The photos only exist in the web gallery they are not transferred to my iphoto library at all. Very annoying.
Anyone who has an issue with this should post it in the discussions and send feedback to apple. MOBILEME GALLERY sync should work in both directions.

Photos in Web gallery too dark

Hello,
I just updated to the new iLife.
I tried the new Web Gallery function and the photos are too dark compared to the view in iPhoto.
Same happens with galleries in iWeb.
What's wrong?
JO

There is a color problem when publishing pictures from iPhoto 06 and 08 (as well as when e-mailing a picture).
The problem being that the images are published with their original color profile, whatever that is. Further, if profile is missing in the image in iPhoto, the profile will be missing in the output. (BUT iPhoto displays correctly in case there is an EXIF tag specifying sRGB).
The result is that colors will not be displayed correctly on the WEB (or in e-mail clients), more or less depending on OS platform. This applies both to images and their thumbnails.
Compare the iPhoto album http://www.tomasjonsson.eu/IPhotoTests/
with an album with correct colors http://www.tomasjonsson.eu/PictureSite/Albums/Pages/PreAndPostProcessed.html
In Safari, only IMG_9465 and IMG_5182 will show a difference - since those are the only images without a color profile. However, in other MS-Windows browsers, most images will be displayed incorrectly.
Note! Most digital cameras produce images without at color profile but with an EXIF tag. In iPhoto:Preferences:Advanced choose Embed ColorSync profile, which will add a profile corresponding the EXIF tag. However, the images that you have already imported will not be fixed.
Note to Apple: Show EXIF colors space and embedded color profile in Info pane. Add command - ASSIGN profile. And in export dialog - add option Color Space.
HOW IT SHOULD BE
Images on the web (and in general also e-mails) should be published in sRGB color space (otherwise they will not be displayed correctly in browsers on the MS-Windows platforms, with the exception of Safari, viewing images with a color profile)
Images should have a color profile, in particular the sRGB images (otherwise they will not be displayed correctly on the MacOS platforms. Maybe close to correct if you have calibrated your monitor to PC-gamma)
Actually all images should have a color profile, period. If the image does not have a color profile, it is just a pile of randomly colored pixels - to be interpreted freely by any displaying device, which they do.
For a demonstration of profiles and WEB see: http://www.gballard.net/psd/golive_pageprofile/embeddedJPEGprofiles.html
However, DO NOT follow this guys advice of omitting the color profile for WEB publishing because of overhead. The overhead is less than 1% of a high quality image. (I measured 0.5 - 2.5 kByte)
WORKAROUND
After exporting from iPhoto - use Photoshop and CONVERT TO PROFILE all images to sRGB color space. Save file with color profile.
Note, make sure that images without original profile are treated correctly (most often they are sRGB, check the EXIF tag with Preview application)
Note, apply also conversion to thumbnails.
