This was what's happening, and hopefully, it might help people who blog from iPhone. The problem lies with the Blogger app in iPhone (I do not know if Android has this prob).
Background
Every blog photos goes into something call Picasa Web, where they also house your photos there. Everyone has their own account of Picasa web. So in your Picasa web, there are albums to house your photos, and each album are created automatically and can house 1,000 photos. Once you upload the 1001th photo, it will automatically create another album for you (all is transparent to us).
Problem
iPhone blogger app will not create a new album for you. It will only stupidly show you the photo limit reached error message.
Solution
Go to your computer and upload a dummy photo. It will automatically create a new album for you. Now you can continue to blog from your iPhone. Hurray.
Long term fix
Google, blogger app or whoever to recode the app in iPhone.
Wow, great tip!!
ReplyDeleteNot bad, getting gd at IT troubleshooting...
Can you explain "upload a dummy photo" -- are you talking about through Blogger or through Picasa. I'm having the same problem but can't figure out the fix.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Apologies Kelley for the slow response. Hope you got it all straighten out already! If not, you can try the steps below:
Delete1) login to google+ (Picassa web album using your google id.
2) once in, you should see some webalbums (virtual albums that is automatic created by google when you upload any photos on its application like blog or others)
3) check the latest album. Mine was only 1 album since that was the first time I hit that error. There should be 1000 pictures (and it's full load)!
4) create one new album, there should be an option to do that
5) copy 1 picture from the latest album (any one since it just act as dummy) and paste it in the new album
6) done! You can try uploading pictures from your iPhone and it should work
**the problem arises because google creates virtual folder to hold pictures you had uploaded and one folder can hold a maximum of 1000 photos. iPhone lacks the capability to create a new album by itself when it is full, thus creating this issue.
