Web Gallery error: Request to Server Failed" Anyone else please?

Same error over and over.
Thanks for looking

You need to update to iPhoto 7.0.1.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Iphoto lost all photos - request to server failed?

I have a 2011 intel iMac. It is the (supposedly) powerful 3.1ghz i5, and i upgraded the RAM to 12 Gig. Before buying this machine I had a 2008 iMac and LOVED it, it was superb. But this machine is SLOWER than that one was?! I am running OSX lion, iLife 09 and iWork 11. I am having a nightmare with this machine, it hands constantly, i only have a few apps open and still it can take 5-10 seconds (beachballing) for finder to draw my files when i open a folder. This can't be right. I have reloaded the entire machine from scratch twice by cloning files off and then MANUALLY rebuilding it (not using Migrate Assistant to ensure to i was not bringing any bad data or bugs across from old installation or old machine).
It is slow as a dog, way slower than my old iMac which had a mere 2 Gig of Ram! If i open more than 10 browser tabs in Safari it goes so slow I can't use the internet. The machine crashes at least twice a week and just hands so I have to force shutdown, and my latest error is iPhoto just lost ALL my photos, 5 years worth and gives the error "Request to server failed" but says nothing else of any use. I am hoping to recover them with TimeMachine but wait and see on that score as nothing seems to be right with this machine so no doubt TM will play up as well.
I have VMWare Fusion installed, latest version. It does seem slower when running that, but it still crashed and plays up when that is not running so I am sure that is not the source of any problems, it just makes them a bit worse due to processor usage.
Is it possible to get an iMac diagnostically checked (hardware) at an Apple store? It is still under warranty this machine, but I can't drop it off at a store without wiping all my data (clone) to external drive, because I have confidential information stored on it which I can't leave on if the machine leaves my office.
Appreciate it if anyone with any similarly bad experiences of newer iMacs could chip in and suggest any ideas. I struggled to afford to buy this machine, and thought it would sky rocket my performance and speed after my old machine started to get slow due to age, but even at its worst it was never this bad. I am now a very very disappointed Apple lover, ex-lover?!
One final point I should mention, I upgraded the RAM myself, using proper stuff from Crucial. I read that it didn't matter what order the RAM cards were fitted in, is that true or should I try moving them around?
Thanks

Thanks very much for such a quick reply, really appreciate any help I can get with this as I have basically had problems daily for months now and its really ruining my business now. I am not as techie savvy as many others on here, but will do my best.
I did everything you said and here are the results:
Activity Monitor shows top 3 (fluctuating) processes as:
shockwave flash (chrome Plug-In Host) 26% now but jumping between that and down to 8%
Google Chrome renderer 3-7%
Safari Web Content this varies usually between 2% right up to well over 100% (i have seen 120%). When machine is playing up i often see this as being over 100%.
Memory Tab:
2.1MB Pageouts
Disk Usage - free space is, have a 1TB drive so plenty of free space. 289 GB free
I looked in Console. Have never looked at that before.
I clicked "All Messages" and notice something possibly a bit odd.
There are THOUSANDS of messages like this one:
"29/05/2012 18:41:54.292 1PasswordAgent: [HYBI] socketDidDisconnect: Error Domain=GCDAsyncSocketErrorDomain Code=7 "Socket closed by remote peer" UserInfo=0x1058098d0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Socket closed by remote peer}" - I use 1Passwd to manage my passwords for browsers. There are lines and lines of these in Console messages. Looking through them, they appear every single minute of every hour, sometimes two per minute. They all look identical to this one quoted here.
Another noteworthy message in Console is:
"29/05/2012 19:21:17.000 kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero". There was one in last few minutes, a few 20 mins ago, and some further up but not on any pattern of frequency.
Should I paste a long list in here so you can see what my console looks like?
Thanks so much

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.

Iphoto/MobileMe request to server failed

In attempting to publish an iPhoto album (Life '09) on MobileMe after loading the thumbnails, I receive a message that it cannot publish that album "request to server failed". I have Life '09 version of iPhoto and my MobileMe account is working well otherwise for mail. When I look at my Gallery on MobileMe I see the name of the album I am trying to publish and only when I mouseover the blank box which should show the photos do I see the photos. beneath the box it is written, "no photos". I have previously published four albums with no problem. Is there a problem with the MobileMe Server or with iPhoto?

It's very frustrating when these things don't work and extremely time consuming when solving these issues ...but persistence does pay off!
Initially I had exactly the same issue. I then tested to see if I could publish another set of photos to my Mobile Me account from one of my other macs, and presto, no issues!!
I then proceeded to copy all the photos from one computer to the other. Once done I had a dialogue box that told me there was an issue with one photo and I could not transfer it to my MacBook Pro ...that's when I found out that this photo was causing a "request to server failed" error! I deleted the photo, and tried again. Now it's happy, and my album is uploaded to MobileMe.
Sometimes the smallest of problems become the biggest, it's worth cross checking all your bases

IPhoto getting Request to Server failed

Folks,
I have the same problem while publishing iPhoto (request to server failed) since I upgraded to MobileMe. I sent an email to Mac support I have not received any response yet. I tried the chat support I was waiting for more than an hour with no luck. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's not much anyone can do. It's a problem with the servers but should have been fixed by now. I've been able to publish since Saturday w/o problems - slow sometimes but it would go thru.
Can you log in to MobileMe online at this page? Also check your System/MobileMe preference pane and make sure you're logged in.

Request to server failed-message I get when trying to publish to MobileMe

Hi-I am having issues with my iPhoto '09 publishing to MobileMe Gallery. I have had 2 chats with MobileMe technicians and after a lengthy discussion it appears that it's a problem with iPhoto '09. I get a message that the request to server failed. It attempts to publish but then I get that message.
In talking with the MobileMe guys I tried all sorts of things: logging in to MobileMe with a test MobileMe user name and password; tried publishing just one photo; I had repaired permissions already; logged out of my main admin account and logged into a test user account (this was the only method that worked to publish) and; uploaded pictures from my MobileMe Gallery to iPhoto (this worked). There were all sort of other tricks I tried but I can't remember them all.
I should mention that earlier this week I had an issue that resulted in me having to do an Erase and Install of my operating system. My MBP had an "Invalid Node Structure." I restored my stuff from my Time Machine backup and all seems to be working fine except for publishing to MobileMe. I also installed the 10.6.2 Combo update thinking that maybe there was a small piece missing from the update I did via Software Update. It didn't make any difference.
I also used my husband's MacBook to see if I could publish from his iPhoto '08 and yes, I was able to.
The last MobileMe guy I talked to said to talk to Apple but since I am not home and don't have my case number with me, I thought I'd try posting here first.
I have some great pictures of my grandson that are just waiting for my family to see so I would be grateful if someone could help me. One thing I was wondering is that when I installed my operating system, I did not install any apps from the Application disk-could that be the problem? Well, anyway, any help would be appreciated! Judy

Let me summarize what you've tried:
1 - deleted iPhoto's pref file.
2 - cleared the cache by logging out of MMe (System/MMe preference pane), logging in with bogus username and password which clears the cache and then logging back in with the correct username and password.
logged out of my main admin account and logged into a test user account (this was the only method that worked to publish) and; uploaded pictures from my MobileMe Gallery to iPhoto (this worked).
That indicates that there's something amiss with your primary account that is causing the problem. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
4 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
Click to view full size
5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

Tuxedo 3139 error - Secondary Event server failed!!

Hi all,
we're havin a msater/slave Tuxedo configuration. When we booted the servers, we're getting the error repeatedly in the slave logs:
3139
ERROR: Secondary Event Server failed to get a new copy of subscription database from the Primary, errstr=TPENOENT NOT FOUND
Could anyoone please explain why its happening??

Atheek,
The CMDTUX_CAT:3139 message is logged when TMSYSEVT cannot find a server
offering the ..TMSYSMIB service or when TMUSREVT cannot find a server
offering the ..TMUSRMIB service. These services are usually offered by the
primary event broker.
This message might occur if the application specifies all event broker
servers as secondary. (One of the event brokers should be started without
the -- -S option, and that server will be the primary event broker.) The
message also might occur if the primary event broker dies and is not marked
as restartable.
You can observe which servers if any offer the ..TMSYSMIB and/or ..TMUSRMIB
services by invoking tmadmin and giving the "psc -a 2" command. (The "-a 2"
option will cause the command to include service names that start with a "."
or with a "..".)

IPlanet 6.0 Error msg : The server is busy. Please try again later

Hello,
I am new in iPlanet use. I am using a Java Web application, which web interface is
implemented by Servlets & JSPs, and which is managed by an iPlanet Web server 6.0,
installed on an HP-UX 11i UNIX platform. It interacts with 2 Oracle databases
accessed via JDBC. A Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.05 browser is used to access the
web application via HTTP.
Sometimes (I am investigating to reproduce it systematically :-( ), I have the error msg
"The server is busy. Please try again later.". Where does it come from ? From HTTP
connections number ? From Oracle connections ? And how to avoid it ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Do you have a web-server in front of the application server ?
regards,

That is a pretty strange message. Have you had a chance to reach out to Windows Live?

HT1222 Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103. Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103. Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

I did it the .dmg way alone and has problems with itunes crashing. This is a better way to ensure that there is not anything left behind to cause issues.
You need to backup your computer then uninstall I-tunes and reinstall itunes.
Delete iTunes
Deleting iTunes is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
Launch Terminal from the UTILITIES within Applications
Type the following commands:
cd /Applications/
This brings you into the Applications directory, the next command deletes iTunes itself:
sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
Enter the Administrator password to confirm
There is no warning or confirmation other than entering the admin password, iTunes will immediately be deleted, effectively uninstalling it from the Mac.
Deleting the iTunes application will NOT delete the ITUNES or music, and any purchases bought through iTunes will still remain tied to the Apple ID used to originally buy them.
You can download the newest version from Apple, and running their installer will bring iTunes back to life on your computer.

My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.
