Web gallery password

I am wondering about when I post on web gallery, it asks for a password, and when I use my .mac password from my .mac account, it doesn't work? I am not sure which password I am to use?

Select the web gallery in iPhoto and click on the Settings button. In the next pane you can edit the passwords and user names for each gallery.
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.

  • Web Gallery password problems

    After recently publishing and setting up a random password for a new iphoto Web gallery, I'm noticing that regardless of the password I assign to this gallery, the viewer ( or myself when testing it) still needed to enter my actual .mac password in order to view the page. Obviously I'd rather not give my personal .mac password out so I'm wondering if I'm missing a step. Can anyone help to correct this problem because I'm finding that the password I assign to it does not seem to work solely on its own.
    Thank you.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I suggest you first create a new album with the photos in the gallery, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and, in the iPhoto Web Gallery preference pane, delete the gallery and try again.

  • How to recover web gallery password?

    I think I lost one of my web gallery's password cos the one I remember isn't working anymore. So how do I get my password back? or at least how to get access to the gallery and reset a new password? Thank you.

    I found how. Cheers.

  • No photo names in Web Gallery

    I just uploaded a web gallery (password protected) and after going to the trouble of putting names on all the photos in iPhoto (prior to the upload) was disappointed to see none in my corresponding web gallery.
    What gives?

    Click on the Setting button in the toolbar for your gallery and make sure you have the option to include titles checked.
    Hint: You can put the description of the photos in the description field in the Info pane at the bottom of the source window and then use this script to batch copy them to the Name field before publishing the gallery. Then when you want to revert back to the original file name just use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name.
    Do you Twango?

  • How do you password protect web gallery

    Iphoto is easy to protect. How do you password protect your movies in webgallery? The help menu is not very clear

    The best I can figure out is that if you post your movie to the Gallery, but do not select the option to "Show project on Web Gallery home page," the video will not show on your home page for random visitors. When the movie is done posting, you can send the direct link of your video to whomever you want by copying it from the confirmation page after the video uploads. Not perfect, but the only option I see right now.

  • Setting a password at the web gallery level

    Hi,
    I would like to host multiple password-protected albums in my web gallery but don't want to require my viewers to enter a password for each album they visit. Is there some way I can set password protection at the web gallery level and make all albums accessible to those who successfully authenticate?
    thank you!

    No, not with iPhoto. That can be done with iWeb. You password protect a single site and can have multiple photo pages, i.e. slideshows, in that site. The just provide the URL to the site along with the password and user name to use.
    It's so easy to create the photo page/slideshow in iWeb by dragging the album of the photos you want to use into the iWeb photo page like this.

  • Password protected web gallery

    Would like to share some picture with my client over the internet. I have created a WebGallery and would like to publish the site content to my Mobileme account through the "Pucblish to Mobileme" button at the upper right conner that appears where Web Pages are created in Aperture. There is no facility to make private the site when publishing through this route.
    Would appreciate any confirmation on feasibility or directions about how to get it done

    From your message you may have already done step (4), but you missed doing step (5).
    1) Go back to the "Web Gallery" in your iPhoto.
    2) Select the gallery under the "Web Gallery" heading on the left column.
    3) Select the "Settings" button on the lower left.
    4) Select the "Album Viewable by:" and pick "Edit Names and Passwords…". At this point, you should create name and password pair that you will give everyone that will be accessing this gallery.
    5) Select the name you just created in the "Album Viewable by:" menu.
    6) Click "Publish"
    That should give you want you are looking for in your message.
    (Sorry about the other direction that I went into with my other posts.)

  • Can't access password protected .Mac Web Gallery

    Safari is my primary browser. I have been creating web galleries using iLife '08 and my .Mac account and then viewing them with Safari for the past month or so with no trouble. This weekend I tried creating a password protected web gallery and it won't load in Safari. The gear icon just spins forever and has timed out when I have left it alone long enough. My other web galleries continue to load just fine. Clicking on the link from within iPhoto for my password protected gallery doesn't work, typing the url into Safari doesn't work, going to my gallery index and clicking on the icon of the "locked" gallery doesn't work, etc. I can still view all of my other web galleries, but this one that I'm trying to protect just won't load.
    This actually appears to be a Safari problem. I don't get a dialog asking for User Name and Password. The url works just fine using Firefox on my Mac, and it also works on a PC running Windows XP. When using something other than Safari, I get the prompt for User Name and Password that I would expect. Upon entering that information, everything looks normal and works just fine.
    Tsk tsk Apple! Safari shouldn't be having trouble displaying protected .Mac web galleries. Sheesh!

    Just wanted to let you know that I have the EXACT SAME problem, except it is affecting my password protected iWeb site and my Gallery. I can view it from Firefox, so that is the web browser I am using now. I sent a bug report to Apple, and I also send them a request for help using e-mail, but so far I have gotten no response. Hopefully someone is working on the fix?

  • Unable to edit, add or change passwords in iphoto web gallery

    Iphoto and Web Gallery were working great but recently, I am unable to add, change, or delete passwords to my web galleries. When I go Settings and into Edit Names and Passwords, I can add or change a password but when I click OK, it will not allow either clicking on OK or hitting return. I have also posted an album to web gallery and it does not appear in the list in Settings or in the Edit Name and Password lists but I can see my gallery out on the web with all photos.
    Any help on why this is. I have both a IMAC and a Macbook and it is the same with both computers using my imac account. Both have updated software and the Macbook has Parallels installed. I
    ran repair in Keychain Access with no problems. I created another account and this did not help.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
    2 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder..

  • Is it possible to password protect Movies in the new Web Gallery?

    I have loaded several iPhoto albums onto my new Web Gallery - and I can password protect each using a different name and password for various friends and family. This is great as they each then have their own privacy. Some I have left open to view by everyone. BUT, I would like to password protect some movies from iMOvie '08. Can this be done for the movies as per the photo albums - and how? If yes - can it also be done for movies already published or will they have to be re-published?
    thanks

  • Link To Web Gallery doesn't work

    I created a password protected web gallery in Aperture, but when it has completed uploading, the URL to the gallery doesn't work, it never loads in Safari. When I go to My Gallery home page I see the icon for the gallery with the lock as it should be but when I click on it, I get the message " that access for this gallery is restricted and to contact the owner of the gallery" instead of asking me for the password.
    If a gallery is not password protected it shows up just fine. Am I missing something? Why doesn't the url for a password protected gallery work.

    Just as a note, it works fine in Firefox. It seems to be an issue with Safari and .Mac.

  • How to improve AP2.0 Web Gallery Quality/Functionality for photographers

    Hi,
    I'm a pro photographer.
    I thought AP2.0 plus a (dot)mac account would offer an easy way for my clients to proof images in password protected web galleries and to download images as well. The resulting functionality is poor in my opinion. Is there anything I can do within Aperture or (dot)mac to improve the following problems?
    1) Why is the image quality of the web gallery slide show so poor? No sensible client would accept looking at proof images of this low quality. Even flickr is better.
    2) Why is there only one download file size, i.e. the original size? In other words, the original file is almost always too large for most web client purchases. Why can't the client choose a smaller version. Even flickr is better, offering several download sizes all based on the original upload.
    3) Since the export functionality within Aperture allows for numerous choices of dpi and pixel ratio to export images, why is this same functionality not there for publishing web galleries?
    It seems obvious that photographers would want to publish web galleries with exactly the same control that we can export images to disk or flickr. Even within the Apple Mail application we have choices of quality and pixel dimension for the attachments.
    What am I missing? Please help.

    When you create a Web Gallery in AP2, there is a set up prefernce to let viewers download an Optimized, Actual Size or Optimized and Master Image. (You can only pick one per gallery it seems.)
    However, I think the gallery design is rather clunky, too many design options are left open to the viewer, and not the photgrapher. I prefer the web pages and web journals for customer proofing using the image number. They email me their choices, and then using Aperture, I can order prints based on their selection. Not the simplist way, but I would not want clients downloading my images, anyway, as you suggest. Why would they buy a print if they can just download a jpg themselves?

  • Web gallery not showing up

    Doing something stupid, I'm sure. I have successfully uploaded to my .mac Web gallery before and have several pix/albums in there. This time, I set a password and restricted it to just me for viewing/downloading/adding to this particular album.
    I can't ever see it from my .mac login page, the one with the left-hand nav bar to web gallery, iDisk, mail, etc.
    I re-sent the whole album, and sent myself an e-mail to announce it, just to see if a hyperlink from the e-mail would work, and lo and behold, the private album is online. I just can't get to it any other way than from that e-mail link. Wondering what I did wrong.
    tx

    Kren - probably better to post this in the iPhoto '08 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1192
    launch iPhoto and click on the gallery in the source pane to the left - at the bottom of the window there is a gear (settings) icon - click on it and I expect you will find that you have chosen to hide the gallery - un-click that and sync and you should see it - as long as it is hidden you can only access it if you know the url (Logical )

  • No .Mac Web Gallery visible in iWeb

    I published a gallery with 3 albums in it and can see them in Safari. However, when I try to use Insert/.Mac Web Gallery, there is noting available to insert. How do I make the Gallery visible to iWeb. Also the .jpg files are low quality. Is there some way of publishing higher quality .jpg to the iGallery?
    I'm now trying to use the Gallery since I have not been successful with publishing my web site onto .Mac with ~200 photos. There are also .avi files. Not sure if this is causing the trouble with publishing.

    UPDATE:
    It does appear as though it's an issue of security. If the Web Gallery is password protected, it won't show up in iWeb. I removed the password protection in iPhoto, and it showed up and I'm able to add it to iWeb. Now, it's not behaving quite like I thought it would, but that's another issue.
