Web Gallery, Tell a Friend, Mail

I was recently at a hotel, which required re-directed the web browser to a dedicated log-in site for the internet. While using Aperture, I attempted to "Tell a Friend" of a new Web Gallery. Instead of the usual link page for sending a Web Album notice ("You've been invited...", with the album link) to a friend as part of the Mail message, the send mail message when it opened in Mail was re-directed to this hotel login site. The Aperture application crashed and closed.
Now that I am home, whenever I try to send a "Tell a Friend" email from the Aperture application, the mail message shows the same hotel login in re-direction site, and then Aperture crashes.
Q: How do I get the default "Tell a Friend" link back when I try to send the email? There must be a default setting somewhere that needs to be re-set to the default link.

I did not see your original post, but would think it could have been resolved by purging the preferences file for A2. It would either be the com.apple.Aperture.plist at Home/Library/Preferences or possibly the Export preset file at Home/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Export Presets.plist. However I am not sure given that I have not experienced this issue.

Web gallery "tell a friend" link not working properly

hi there,
I want to use the tell a friend link in iphoto to point people to a new photo gallery that I posted to my mobileme gallery. But when I select the appropriate web gallery and click on the tell a friend icon in iphoto, it creates an email that introduces mobileme, and doesn't have any of the information about my web gallery with links and a thumbnail, etc.
help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're not seeing what's in the top of this screenshot in your email window?
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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto '09 MobileMe gallery "tell a friend" email not displaying password

It used to be when I clicked on the iPhoto MobileMe Gallery "Tell a Friend" button an email would open and have the username and password.
Now, it shows the username, but the password isn't displaying. Instead it reads PASSWORD.
What happened to make it do this?
How is a friend supposed to know the password if it doesn't display.

Could be a damaged database file in the library. Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
Click to view full size
Launch iPhoto and try again.

Tell a Friend - Not Working - Help Please

Whats wrong

I´m having the same problem, but i've noticed that the same library works on snowleopard (10.6.4) and doesn't work on 10.5.8.
My main computer is a Mac Pro 2007 running 10.5.8, and in this machine, "tell a friend" button does not work.
Any ideas?

Tell a Friend not putting preview pic in Mail

I have a MobileMe gallery on 24" iMac. When I click "Tell a Friend" Mail opens and provides a stock message and a link but not the preview picture with the black background and "View Album" link like I get on my MBP. The iMac is fully updated.
Is there a setting in iPhoto or Mail that needs to changed to get the preview pic?
Thanks,
Marcantonio

Close iPhoto and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and try again.

Tell a Friend - Missing graphic

I have made a few web galleries and when I clicked on 'Tell a Friend' Mail opened with a nice graphic already in the body of the message giving the password etc.
This graphic has stopped appearing leaving just a plain text message with the same information.
I have checked every setting I can think of, but being a switcher, the chances are I have missed something.
Any Ideas, anyone?

IPhoto crashes when Tell A Friend in Web Gallery

When I click on Tell A Friend in my Web Gallery, Mail opens with "The Page Cannot Be Found" in the Subject line and "HTTP Error 404- File or directory not found" within the body of the text as well as other information. Also a message box pops up stating " The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly" . This will occur without fail. If I change the iPhoto preference "Email Photos using:Mail" to Entourage instead of Mail the problem goes away and I can email the invitation without a hitch. However, I would like to use Mail since this is my preferred email application. I have not had any problems with Mail when I use it outside of iPhoto. Does anyone have a solution?

How to disable "Tell a Friend" option on Web Gallery

Is it possible to disable the "Tell a Friend" option in order to prevent visitors from forwarding the web gallery site to others?
Thanks.

As far as I know, you cannot disable the ability for a user to view source from any browser without O/S or browser chrome level access. If you are creating screens for an external audience you are out of luck.
If you are creating screens for use in a controlled internal environment, then the view source option of IE might be controllable using windows registry keys.

A2: Web gallery - Disable "Tell a friend"

Hi,
is it possible to disable the "Tell a friend" option at a web gallery?
greetings
Dirk Einecke

I would also like to know if this is possible. I just created a Web Gallery via Aperture 2 which is hidden and set up to be viewed by a few people which I set up login/password in Aperture. So if they login and view the gallery, the Tell a Friend feature is enabled which frankly I don't want.

Sending to a friend in Web Gallery

Once you have selected Tell A Friend from Web Gallery, is there any way to check and see if it was actually sent as in Mail with the Sent folder?

Tell a friend MobileMe gallery not working in Aperture 3

I am trying to share my gallery photos - tell a friend is not working this week - it has worked fine for the past 3 years - what's up?

Steve,
is that the same for all your galleries, or only one particular gallery?
Do your galleries sync o.k. with Mobile Me? Do you see the sync sign below?
Try, if you can "Tell a friend" from the "Web Interface" - click the MobileMe button and select "Visit ...", from your gallery it is also possible to invite people to view. If that also does not work, something probably is wrong with your Mobile Me settings in the System Preferences.
If the web interface works, but not the Aperture interface,check the Aperture Preferences -> Web.
It should show your account as enabled.

"Tell a friend" email for web galleries- black on black for PC users

Whenever I send out an email to friends with info for a web gallery, everyone who uses a PC (most everyone I know) gets the email and the text is black on a black background and they can't read it. I have to add text to the email with the username and password. When I cc myself on the email and get it on my Mac, it's white text on black background.
What's going on here? It's been this way for 4 web galleries so far.

Dave:
Try using the Tell a Friend option in iPhoto's toolbar instead of the option of the online gallery. It will look like this except I've changed the font and color of the lower URL line which you can do with this method.
Do you Twango?

In the past I was using Photoshop 7 to make Web Photo Gallery. My friend could right click on the pictures from my website and save it in their computer.
Recently I have bought and registered your Lightroom 5 and have updated it to 5.6. But can not program it to create Photo Web Galleries that after uploading to my website would allow my friends to down load the pictures from the album to their computer. How could I do it? Please step by step. Thank you M. Mehdi Akhavein
