Web Gallery dissapears on my Iphoto but remains on line

It is maybe a settings issue but some web galleries dissapear from my i-photo although they are still showing on line. and I can not add/remove photos from those libraries.

I can not add/remove photos from those libraries
First what version of iPhoto are you using? The latest is 7.1.2 and it had fixed many Gallery issues - if you have not updated you should do that first
a couple of things to look at
when you say the Galleries disappear I assume that you mean that they no longer appears in your source list (the left hand sidebar in the iPhoto window)
If they are not there look in preferences under gallery and see it they are there
If not then you can delete them via the finder - finder --web ==> sites ==> _gallery and drag the gallery(s) you want to delete to the trash and empty trash
If the galleries are complicated (not just a single album or event) you may want to print a list of the photo in the web gallery to make reproducing it easier. I generally make an album for my gallery then create the gallery from that album both as back up and to keep me from doing lots of editing while it is published - That can be slow and (used to I think now) sometimes create duplicates and other problems

  • 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.

  • What happened to the Web Gallery list in my iPhoto 08 sidebar?

    I posted a web gallery yesterday. It's visible online, but no longer listed in the iPhoto sidebar (along with albums, events, etc.). Is this right or has something gone wrong?
    I'd like to have it back so that I can invite others to come view the gallery without having to go online to do it.

    what version of iPhoto are you running? There have been many fixes to web galleries and there still are some issues to be resolved - in versions before 7.1.2 web galleries were pretty flaky
    7.1.3 still have some issues but many less
    One suggestion is in the future make an album of the photos you want in the web gallery and do all changes there then publish that album as a web gallery - making changes to a published web gallery while it is updating (and you can not easily control this) still seems to cause problems

  • What do the icons by .Mac Web Gallery items mean in iPhoto '08?

    Can anyone point me to a legend that identifies the various icons that appear next to the Web Gallery entries? Some of them I can figure out like the one that means it's publishing but the others are a mystery.
    What do those freaking things mean?
    Thanks,
    John

    John:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you referring to the icons in iPhoto or in the galleries when they are online? In iPhoto there's only the icon that's next to the gallery name on the right. Of course there's the gallery's icon, the round blue thingybob ( ) to the left.
    If you're referring to the icons at the top and bottom of a gallery online they are pretty much self explanatory as they also have text labels. If not those, which?

    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

  • Web Gallery uploads not updating iPhoto?

    Okay, maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that when people upload photos to my web gallery, iPhoto then downloads those photos into its own copy of the web gallery the next time it is run.
    I have a web gallery that started out with 79 photos. A friend of mine uploaded 37 photos, bringing the total to 116. Unfortunately, the only place this is confirmed is in the title of the web gallery when viewed on the web. It says (116) right after the title. The number of actual pictures displayed on the site is still 79.
    Curiously, after updating the web gallery on iPhoto, the number increased to 80 from 79, but the web site still shows only 79 photos.
    Any ideas? Do I have the concept of web galleries wrong?

    In my case, web gallery albums to which people have tried to upload pics show in parens double the number I've uploaded via iPhoto, but none of their photos show up. I, and my friends have conducted many tests now and it seems no photos larger than 380K will upload from the web. No error messages, the little green arrow appears as if everything worked fine, but no pics show up.
    I've provided feedback and emailed support and tried phone support - no glory - ah well, maybe an update is in the works - would really like to hype that feature.

  • Web Gallery Posting from Different iPhoto 7.0.1 Libraries

    I use the program iPhoto Library Manager so that I can have more than one iPhoto library -- one for cooking, one for the garden, one for a travel trip, etc.
    I've posted a couple galleries using the "Web Gallery" feature from my cooking iPhoto library. Works fine: both galleries show up on the first page.
    Do I understand correctly that if I posted a gallery from, say, the garden iPhoto library, that it would try to synchronize the galleries at dot mac with those in the currently open iPhoto library (garden) and, because the first two galleries were in the cooking library, it would probably delete them?

    mbabc:
    No, I don't think that would happen. I've posted two galleries, each from a different library. When I posted the second it did not delete the first. It just added the second to the gallery in my .Mac account.

  • IChat connected but remains off-line to buddies

    Hi,experienced new problem today: My dad could not connect to my aunt both in Holland. She appeared to be off-line. Connection between my dad and myself in UK normal (audio and video). I checked with my aunt by phone, tried switching to port 443 instead of 5190 and deleted iChat plist without success. I could hear the tone on her computer confirming log on with iChat and my aunt tells me she has a green dot. She has remained greyed-out to me and my dad for the whole day. She has also tried restart both computer and modem.

    Was she an Active Buddy before ?
    Check iChat > Preferences > Accounts section > Security.
    Set the Allow to Allow All if it is something else.
    Change it to something else if at Allow All then change it back
    Get her to do the same.

  • Web Gallery pictures after deletion still in Finder

    Hello....
    I create a web gallery on MobileMe using iPhoto '08 and had it allow others to upload the pictures to the gallery using web interface.
    Now, when someone uploads the pictures they appear in the iPhoto the next time it syncs. However, if I delete the picture from the Web Gallery it disappears from iPhoto BUT the picture can still be found in the Finder under the iPhoto package in Pictures directory. I mean the picture do not get deleted from the iPhoto package in Finder when they are deleted from Web Gallery.
    How the picture should be deleted from Web gallery so it gets deleted from the Finder as well? I mean it is difficult to trace the pictures and delete manually in Finder.
    One other question I have is if someone uploads the picture and it appears in iPhoto under Web Gallery and I want to move this picture to my library so to keep along with my other pictures how should I do it?
    Thanks.

    Atique:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you just selected the photo and hit the Delete key the photo will only be deleted from the gallery and not the library. You need to use the CommandOptionDelete key combination to move the photo out of the web gallery and into the iPhoto trash bin. Then empty the trash bin via the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu option. That will delete the photo from your library and your HD.

  • Rebuild/Redownload Web Gallery Images into iPhoto?

    I have a web gallery that has 312 pictures, but I maybe only see about 50 of them within iPhoto. Is there a way I can get iPhoto to download those pictures again from the iDisk gallery? They show up in iDisk as well. I just don't want to have to delete the gallery and then have the people who contributed to it to have to re-upload the pictures.
    Suggestions?

    I figured out what it was... 4 images were uploaded to the web gallery with a semicolon (;) in the name. After removing those 4 images, I was finally able to retrieve all the rest of the images from the web gallery into iPhoto without issue. I then renamed the images and re-added them back to the web gallery.

  • Web Gallery Questions

    Sometimes, when I add photos to my Web Gallery, they remain in perpetual pending mode and never actually show up on the Web gallery, even though they are in my iPhoto Web Gallery Album. I can't seem to solve this unless the only answer is to delete and reload the entire web gallery??? I have deleted the pending photos and reloaded them but they stay in pending mode forever and never show up on the actual web gallery.
    How do I, as the owner of my gallery, access photos other users have uploaded and edit them, such as editing the title? I do not see these new photos in my web gallery album in iphoto despite them showing up when I go to the gallery via the browser.
    Can you upload, as a visitor to some else's web gallery from your own iPhoto or do you have to drag the photo out to the desktop so you can access it from the upload dialog. The upload dialog does not seem to have a photo browser, just as normal open dialog.

    Mark:
    I don't have an answer to your problem but do want to warn you against subscribing to your gallery to get those added photos. If you do you'll be in danger of replacing your full sized original files with the 800 x 600 files that the gallery uses.

  • Web Gallery - Slideshow

    I have created my first web gallery - These are my issues when viewing the gallery on internet:
    1. If you double click the first photo you see a rather small pic and a description of what the subject is about (hitting i can give u the further info on the pic). Why is the photo not the same size as that shown when I select to view the gallery in slideshow?
    2. When in a gallery if you click "Slideshow" it proceeds through the photos in the gallery at about 3 second intervals - how can I adjust the slideshow controls so that the turnover is slower, like 12 second intervals? I understand that a viewer can click "pause" to slow the process, but see 3 below.
    3. When I review the gallery on my Powerbook, using Safari, as a slideshow, above the slide the description/explanation of what the pic is about is displayed. When I enter the website via Windows, I see the pic OK but there is no description of what it is about. How do you show the explanation of what the pic is about in Windows?

    Web Gallery is part of iPhoto and you might want to ask in that forum:

  • 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.

  • Web Gallery: Preventing Users from Downloading Photos

    Hi,
    Ive recently uploaded a web gallery (wedding pictures) from iPhoto and I need to secure it. So far Ive password protected the web gallery, so that it is not accessible to the public. Ive also checked the option to prevent people from downloading pictures.
    When I login to the Gallery, I find the "Download" button for each picture is greyed out, but then there is nothing stopping me from right-clicking on the image and saving it to the hard drive. Is there something Im missing here, or is this a bug in the Web Gallery?
    Mark

    Mark:
    As already pointed out there's no way from stopping viewers from taking screenshots of your photos. You can, however, add a watermark to your photos to identify the owner. You can use an image editor like Photoshop Elements (used in the example) or one of the many watermarking applications available. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for watermark to find the various candidates.

  • How does deleting photos off of HD affect iWeb & Web Gallery

    Hello,
    My MacBook is getting filled with photos. I have already used Time Machine to back them up to an external hard drive, and I am getting ready to delete them from my HD. Here is my concern:
    Once I delete the photos from my HD, will they disappear from iWeb and Web Gallery?
    I believe so, but would like confirmation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you delete a photo out of iPhoto that is in a MobileMe gallery create by iPhoto it will be deleted from the online gallery if you every sync the gallery again. These galleries are the most susceptible to loss of photos. So if you have any iPhoto MMe galleries I would not delete those photos from iPhoto.
    If you create a web gallery within iWeb the photos used are included in the files that are uploaded to the iWeb site so you can delete them out of iPhoto and off the hard drive.

  • Save web gallery uploads locally

    Hi gang,
    I'm not sure about how the Web Galleries work. Friends have uploaded photos to my Web Gallery, and I can see them in iPhoto, however, I am concerned that I don't have a local copy. I've tried dragging them from the Web Gallery into my main iPhoto library, but it is not clear if there is a local copy or not. If I delete the photo from the Web Gallery, is it gone or do I still have a local copy?
    Cheers!

    Hi Damian,
    I do the same manner as you. Then I say that "export is not save", I say that an export it not re usable in Lightroom. So If you don't base your gallery on a collection (but just some selected files) and a saved customed template (with your own title, description, ...), if you find an error in your picture legend, for example, you can't regenerate you gallery. You have to re select your pictures, choose the same template, re type the title and the description, ...
    If the only manner to keep these informations is the "add" a new template, is the name "template" really a good choice ? For me, a template is something re usable. In this case, I don't think that I will have more than one gallery whit the same title and description ! So if a custom template was called "Gallery" ok. And in this case, pictures used must be saved too !
    Yesterday, I made 5 web gallery for my site. I begin by creating 5 collections. After that, I go in the web module and I create 5 custom template (same parameters, just other title and description) and I export these 5 galleries.
    When I surf into them, I found that the pictures (not the thumbnails) where to small. So I have to modify this parameter in my 5 templates. And regenerate them :
    - go to the library module
    - select a collection
    - return to the web module
    - select the template
    - export the gallery
    5 times !!!
    Not so logical, isn't it ?
