Web Gallery from iPhoto - Help

I have published 3 albums through web gallery from iPhoto. For a few days, I would see in the left panel, under "Web Gallery", the name of each gallery, and the status, sync, being sync, etc. Suddenly, this bar only displays one, the other two are still accessible through .mac, I can see them, I also can see them in the preference area under web gallery, but again, they are not being displayed on the left organizer bar, so I cannot drag and drop, or see the pics there and edit when I want.
I do not know why would one published album be displayed, and the other don't..
Any clues??
Thanks

In the tab "web gallery" in the iPhoto preferences I can see the title of all three albums. In fact, I tell it to check for new photos, and for few second you can see them reappear in the organizer bar on the left, with the circling wheel like it is being synchronized, but they disappear fast, and forever gone!!. Again, I can see in the copy of iDisk in my desktop that the galleries are there, and in the .mac website, I can see them. But not in iPhoto.

Web Gallery from iPhoto

Is anyone having the problem of creating a web gallery from an Event in iPhoto but not getting a picture for that gallery and inability to scroll through images in gallery? When I click on the gallery I get all the images, I am just not getting the one image to represent each gallery. I am publishing a web gallery from an iPhoto event and getting a gray image with a lock in the right lower corner. Why am I not getting a photo from the album, one that you can scroll like I am suppose to? Please help.

Can't subscribe to Web Gallery from iPhoto 6

I've created a Web Gallery with iPhoto '08. People can view it from multiple current browsers is OS X and Windows, and can download the individual pictures or the entire album. People with Windows and people with iPhoto '08 can subscribe to the Web Gallery, but people with iPhoto 6 cannot subscribe.
Subscribing in iPhoto 6 returns an error:
There is a problem updating the subscription for the Photocast: "Abouaf/Pizante Family Cruise '07." The Photocast cannot be found on the .Mac server.
Is it possible that the special characters in the name of the Web Gallery (/ and ')are causing aproblem in iPhoto 6? Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?
Thanks.

Mike:
I don't believe that iPhoto 6 supports web galleries. When I tried to subscribed to my web gallery with my iPhoto 6 library it reported that there were no photos in the photocast section of the iDisk. It's looking for a photocast, not a web gallery. They are located in different folders. The galleries in the web/sites/_gallery folder and the photocast in the web/sites/iPhoto folder.
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.

Web Gallery (from iPhoto) access after published.

I have created a webgallery with iPhoto and wish to put it online so several people can view it. However, I ran into the following...
In Webgallery, settings, album viewable by, (either everyone, me or edit username/password). Let's say I wanted to give 2 or perhaps 6 people access.
I could create one standard username and password and share with everyone, but ideally I want to give everyone their own username/password, and then depending on various albums give a subset of them access to future web albums.
I can't do that. If I check one person, that person only has access. If I go back and check another, the first loses access, and you can't shift/click to give 2 or more access.
Is this possible?
Thank you very much.

The short answer is no. See this old thread:

Can't access web gallery from iphoto

I've been a .mac member for a long time. I can log onto it - password is no problem.
When I tried to upload photos today, an annoying message window opened saying : Log in; become a new member; no thanks.
I press login and the screen pops up - you're already logged in. Then nothing - the photos don't upload and it drops me off back at iphoto. I went into .mac to see if the photos did upload - nothing. I got another message window saying check the system preferences for .mac and when I do, I'm logged in. What gives?

try quitting iPhoto and deleting your iPhoto preferences file ("your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iphoto.plist). When you relaunch iPhoto a fresh default preference file will be created - set any user preferences that you want changed and try again

Trying to publish a web gallery using iPhoto '08 version 7.1.1.

I have recently been getting the following message while trying to publish a web gallery through iPhoto:
Request to the server http://publish.me.com failed.
And all the pictures go "pending" without ever getting published. My mobileme membership is current and I make sure I am online while I try to publish. I have published web galleries before, this has happened only recently.
Any ideas?

I'm receiving the same issue. I haven't tried to upload a new gallery for awhile. The only change (although a big one) I've made to my system since was upgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm still running iPhoto '08 and my mobileme account is current.

By creating Web Gallery from CS4 Bridge can we allow people to download photos

I want to create web gallery from CS4 but want to allow users to download a particular photo or the full album. How can we do this setting. May be we can create a PDF file but that will allow user to download the full PDF and then create a new page and save the PDF again with the particular photo but I need them to save the file in JPG.
Do any one know how to do this setting making Web Gallery in HTML or other option JPG format.

Can you create a web gallery from Stacks?

Hi.
I have several stacks totalling 108 images.
How do I create a web gallery that shows the images, not the picks from Stacks? Is that even possible?
Thanks,
Scott

I would keyword the stacks in question then build either an Album or a Project from the keyworded images, and a web gallery from that.

How to auto update a web gallery from an iphoto album?

how do you set-up an iphoto album to automatically update a web gallery album?
so if i add a new photo to an existing album on my computer that has a corresponding web gallery album that web gallery will know to add that photo
i'm trying to keep the web gallery album in sync with the same named album on my computer

That is not a current feature of iPhoto - you will need to add the photo to both the album and the web gallery album
To suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

How do you automatically update a Web Gallery from a Smart Album?

I just installed iPhoto '08, and like the new features. I have published several Web Galleries, which are great for people who don't have Macs. I am publishing a smart album of all of the photos taken in the last month (Date is in the last 1 Month). However, when I add new photos, they show up automatically in the Smart Album, but they don't show up automatically in the Web Gallery. Is there a way to do this in iPhoto '08? Is there a way to do this with Automator? Thanks for your help.

TeeJay6:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No you can't because the web gallery is a separate entity from the smart album. Once the gallery is created in iPhoto you have to add photos to it manually and then click on the icon to update it online.
Do you Twango?

Small changes to a web gallery slows iPhoto down to a crawl

I am using iPhoto 7.1.1, the latest update at this time. I have a large number of web galleries published through iPhoto to .Mac. The latest is about 150 photos from Christmas. I originally published without changing the photo titles. I have been correcting that plus adding a few more photos. Any small change in a web gallery seems to be immediately published and that slows iPhoto down to a crawl. I have the fastest connection I can get from ATT's UVerse. Is there any way to turn off this immediate updating so I can make all of my changes then publish after that? I have been searching through the help files, Apple support, and the web and can't find anything. One poster on this site said his updates don't transfer until he hits the publish icon to the right of the gallery name. That's not how mine works. It automatically publishes at the slightest change. Others seem to say it is automatic for them as it is for me. It really is almost impossible to make lots of small changes to a large gallery (like adding descriptive titles) the way it is now.

This "feature" also makes my nuts. I hate software that does these "automatic" processes, without a way for the user to alter them, or turn them off. I have been trying to change file names in one album that contains a number of images drawn from other albums that have been published to my web gallery. I do not wish the names to be changed in every album, nor in the web galleries published. But it all seems to be automatic. The name change first is applied automatically to the other albums that contain that image, and then automatically changed in every web gallery.
I have posted these comments here: iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback.
I suggest everyone that is concerned with these issues do the same. If we are lucky, Apple will soon update the software. These changes seem so easy to achieve one would think, and they would add a lot of control to the use of the program.

Problems Emailing to Web Gallery From Camera Phone

I have a Sony Ericcson camera phone that has a mail client which I have set up to use GMail for both incoming and outgoing mail. I can't seem to get Web Gallery to accept the picture emails I send from the phone. The only thing I can conclude is that the server accepting the emails has problems parsing the message. I can use my desktop computer to send the image to Web Gallery, so it's there's nothing wrong with the image itself. I've also tried configuring my phone to use an AT&T mail server to send the picture, but have the same problems, so it's not the mail servers. I've also sent a full sized image (2 megapixels) as well as a small version (640x480) to see if it's related to file size, but they fail as well. Interestingly enough, I can send videos that I take from my phone to Web Gallery and it gets posted, so I figure it's not the phone.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? I've included the failure notice email I get back from the Web Gallery mail servers below if it can help diagnose the problem. Thanks.

After many trial and errors, I figured out that the web gallery mail servers were choking because the filenames my phone gives photos have capital ".JPG" extensions. If I change them to lowercase, the pictures get posted. Unfortunately, I can't rename the files inside the phone and need to transfer them out to my mac via bluetooth before I can rename it. To solve the problem for myself, I created an email address on another hosted website that pipes mail to a script that rewrites the problematic portions before sending it to my web gallery. It's somewhat of a roundabout way of doing it, but it works for now.
Hopefully the web gallery mail servers will be corrected to handle this situation.

How to restore a Web Gallery from my backu

I noticed today that one of my Web Galleries was gone. I'm sure I didn't delete it. I entered into Time Machine while still in iPhoto '08 and stepped back in time until the missing Web Gallery showed up. Apparently it got "deleted" a few days ago but it's there in the backup. Trying to restore the web gallery attempts to restore the actual photo files which is Not what I need. I need to restore the little Gallery "playlist" thing in the Source Pane on the left.
I dug through my backups on my time machine disk and found the backed up iPhoto Library when the gallery still existed and after opening the package contents and looking through the AlbumData.xml file in Text Edit I could see that, yes, the code for my missing Web Gallery is there.
Here's my problem... How do I get that back into iPhoto???
I tried cutting and pasting the relevant code into today's current .xml file and then re-opening iPhoto. No go. In fact the code I pasted in is removed again by iPhoto.
Next I tried replacing the entire .xml file with the back up version. No go. iPhoto again removes the code for the missing Web Gallery.
I'm at a loss.
And I'm a little worried that a web gallery can just up and go missing. And that there is no way to get it back from a backup.
What can I do??
-Don

Don:
Time machine will not restore just the database file. You will have to restore the entire library. BUT you can have it keep the current library (it is renamed iPhoto Library (original). Then take the Library6.iPhoto file out of the restored library, put it in the original library (make sure you've not imported or deleted any photos since that backed up version was made) and use the original library again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

.mac web gallery and iPhoto '08 movies, which format?

Hi Folks, I ran into a problem over the weekend working on a movie project. As you might have read in the forums, there is no way to load up a movie to .mac web gallery with password protection. The suggested workaround by Apple is to import your movie into iPhoto '08 and then load it up into the .mac web gallery and apply the password protection offered by iPhoto.
But here comes the kicker, when I export movies out of iMovie '08 they have the .m4v extension, and iPhoto refuses them into it's library. So what kind of extensions of format should a export the movies to, for them to be imported into iPhoto. All help and support is welcome and appriciated!
Cheers, CC

Seeing as iTunes store video is m4v format I bet someone writing iTunes thought we'd better not allow anyone to add iTunes store material to an iPhoto library, so all .m4v files are locked out.
Just tested this and exported a short .m4v and as you say when you try to import the .m4v file is greyed out.
I think this'll work:
Under Share choose Export using Quicktime
I chose
Movie to Quicktime Movie then selected Options tab
Choose Quicktime to mov
Use an h264 codec with AAC.
I can certainly import that .mov to iPhoto - and create a web gallery - my uploading is very slow and everything is 'pending' at present but i thinks it's slowly going there!
