Overview
iUpload is a helper application for iView Multimedia. After selecting photos in iView you can choose iUpload to upload the photos to Zing or Photopoint. More sites will be added in the future.
File Menu is used to:
Set the Host preferences… and/or
Select Single file for uploading to current site.
Host Preferences contains options for each site support and the Log upload option.
The log upload option will redirect all Alerts and status information to a log file called "iUpload.log" see below for more details. They are independent of each other. You will need to create an account with the host site, before configuring iUploader.
When Log Uploads is selected, iUploader runs in "Quit" mode. No Alerts are presented, status information about success or failure is loged to disk. When it is not selected any failure, will stop and present the user with the reason for failure
Failure can grouped into three groups:
1. Connection failed,
Why: host is down for some reason (Remote host problem), your computer is having accessing or keeping an Internet connection (your computer or local ISP problems).
2. Account/Password,
Why: your specified account or password is wrong.
3. Un-supported format or size of files.
Why: Each site has limit on size and type of file they support. Check the site for details.
iUpload.log is created on the DeskTop of your Macintosh computer. It contains information about success or failure of file uploaded to the selected Internet photograph site.
Multi-file upload also include the information about: start and finish time, user id or account set in the preferences and the set of files uploaded.
