How To: Add Photo from iPhone Directly to Web Gallery
Web Gallery is the newest feature for both .Mac Service and iPhoto ’08 (iLife ’08). Apple has quietly added the ability to send a picture from the iPhone directly to the Web Gallery.
When the “Send to Web Gallery” button mysteriously appeared during Apple Special Event – August 2007, it came back and returned an error message. In TWiT‘s MacBreak Weekly 52, even Merlin Mann couldn’t figure out (at that moment) why this feature wouldn’t work. Eventually, the whole casts; Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne, Andy Ihnatko, and Alex Lindsay didn’t know how to make it work. (time stamp: 10 minutes)
It says:
None of your .Mac accounts have been configured for posting from mobile devices.
You must first enable this feature on the .Mac website.
The informations on .Mac website says that:
If you don’t see the Send To Gallery item, make sure you’ve set up your .Mac email address on your phone and that your iPhone has the latest software updates. For more information about using iPhone, see the documentation that came with it.
Before we go further, let’s get to the basic requirements:
- .Mac Account; make sure they are set-up on the Mac and the iPhone
- iPhoto ’08 (part of iLife ’08)
- iPhone
Creating the Web Gallery:
- In iPhoto ’08, select the pictures to be included in the Web Gallery. Then click on the “Web Gallery” button (circled in red as pictured below)
- Check the “Allow photo uploading by email”
- On the sidebar, the newly created Web Gallery appears. You can rename the Web Gallery after it was created. On the top bar, you can find the web address and the email for that particular Web Gallery. You can send picture to the email address (on the top right as pictured below).
- The newly created Web Gallery can be accessed through the address on the top bar or directly to http://gallery.mac.com/your.dot.mac.name.
To add photo from iPhone directly to Web Gallery:
- Make sure you’ve set up your .Mac email account on your iPhone.
- Choose the photo you want add to your Web Gallery.
- Tap the Send Photo button (in the lower-left corner of the screen).
- Tap Send To Web Gallery.
- Tap the Web Gallery album to which you want to add your photo.
- In the email that appears, enter a title for the photo in the subject of the email.
The subject you enter becomes the title of the photo on your Web Gallery
- Send the email. The picture will automatically be added to the selected Web Gallery.

About iMovie HD 6.0.4
The existing version of iMovie HD ’06 in my PowerBook G4 and MacBook Pro was version 6.0.3. After finding out the “free” version of iMovie HD ’06 through a thread in Apple Discussion Board, I installed it on my MacBook Pro. Upon further inspections, I finally noticed that the version provided was iMovie HD 6.0.4.
I attempted iMovie HD 6.0.4 installation on my PowerBook G4, without installing iLife ’08 first. The installer specifically requires iLife ’08 to be installed first before iMovie HD 6.0.4 can be installed.

Mini Review: iMovie ’08 – First Impressions
I finally had the time to go to an Apple Retail Store to pick up iLife ’08 and iWork ’08 today. Well, it’s because all the Apple Retail Stores nearby, about 7 of them didn’t have iLife ’08 in stock on Tuesday.
Anyway, after playing with iMovie ’08 for 30 minutes or so, I missed iMovie HD (iMovie 6.x) already. Apple is apparently aware of this.
First, iLife ’08 installer actually preserves iMovie HD application and moved it into “iMovie (previous version)” folder inside the Applications folder.
Second, Apple has made iMovie HD 6.0.4 as a free download for any iLife ’08 owner.

UPDATED (08.09.2007 09:50AM)
So far, I don’t like using iMovie ’08. Actually now I prefer using Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro (because there are a lot of things that I can’t do in iMovie HD). Don’t get me wrong, I still need to sit down and use iMovie ’08 for a while and figure out a way to get comfortable with it. Previous versions of iMovie HD are a lot more simplistic, and yet lacking many editing features. Apple has made such drastic changes to the interface, it takes time to get used to it.
iMovie ’08 runs fast on my MacBook Pro Core Duo (early 2006). I can easily scrub scrub movie clips without any slowdowns at all. One thing I really hate about iMovie HD is the titling options. Sometimes you want to have a subtitle to last 6 seconds, and iMovie HD only allows maximum of 5.

My colleague found the iMovie HD 6.0.4 link in Apple’s own Discussion Board.
I will use iMovie ’08 to see if it is a worthy upgrade, at least for myself.

iLife ’08 and iWork ’08 Are Now Available at Apple Retail Stores
Shortly after the announcements of iLife ’08 and iWork ’08, I called some Apple Retail Stores to confirm the availability of both software packages. To my surprise, all the Apple Retail Stores I called have on iWork ’08 but not iLife ’08. Every Apple Retail Store employee I talked to could not confirm the ETA of iLife ’08 at their respective locations.
UPDATE 08.08.2007
Both iLife ’08 and iWork ’08 are available at Apple Retail Stores.
