I am trying to upload some photos to .Mac from iPhoto and it keeps saying "Request to the server failed". I am not downloading or uploading anything I am also using iLife '08 if that matters. Thanks for the help.
Did you download the iphoto update from software update? That addressed what sounds like the same problem for me.
I just recently started getting this error (with the newest version of iPhoto '09), but on only one of my MobileMe galleries. I started publishing 10 photos at a time from the Event I was trying to post, and found a picture near the end (of course!) that was missing. The thumbnail displayed in iPhoto, from the smallest to the largest zoom in the main screen; but when I double-clicked that picture to see it full screen I got a giant gray circle with an exclamation point in it. I deleted that photo and the gallery published fine!
