Subject: Unsupported output format: text/xml (status 400)... WHAT IS THIS?
I was trying to up load some photos when this error came up...

Unsupported output format: text/xml (status 400)

It would then name the jpg... so I would delete that jpg and try
again... I was get the error again but for a different picture... I
deleted the new picture and tried again... etc etc... this went on for
several tries before I gave up. I haven't had any trouble up loading
any pictures before... why now. What does this error mean and how can
I fix it?

I am getting the same message. Tried several photos from different
albums in iPhoto 08. Tried the standalone uploader application instead
of the iphoto integration. Tried a different gmail account, too. Tried
just sending one photo instead of many. Tried to send the "original
file" so that no reformatting would occur. Still, always the same
message "unsupported output format text/xml (status 400)". Looks like
a issue between the mac uploader code for picasa (something that got
installed with the iphoto integration and the standalone app) and
picasa web albums....
Don't have a Windows machine handy to check whether it would occur in
Picasa for Windows as well....

Same problem here. On a Mac running OS X (10.5.x). Problem with iPhoto
plugin as well as stand-alone uploader. However, I was able to
manually upload. I hope this gets fixed SOON since I'm teaching a
class at the end of the month with 120 participants and we'll all be
using Picasa Web Albums!

Exact same error message here.  It worked fine two days ago but now
trying with either the plug-in or the stand alone uploaded get the
"text/xml (status 400)" error.

Same problem for me too. iMac G5. All worked well on July 10th and I'm
getting the same error code that you all are on the 11th.  I'm
thinking that Google has a problem on their end. If so I hope it gets
fixed soon because manuel up loading is a pain!

Subject: Re: Unsupported output format: text/xml (status 400)... WHAT IS THIS?
Here is a manual work-around for this issue.

VERSIONS:
These instructions were created using a Mac OS X Leopard with Picasa
Stand-alone Photo Uploader v1.1.0.71 (other versions may have the
necessary feature), iPhoto 7.1.3 (364) and Firefox v2.0.0.12.

SUMMARY:
I use a Smart Album to collect high rated photos then tag them with
"posted" once I am done. So it is easy for me to figure out what needs
to be uploaded. So once you have the photos grouped together that you
want to post, use the Picasa Uploader to figure out the path to the
photos you want to post. Then post them using a web browser.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
0) open iPhoto Album with photos you would like to upload
1) open Picasa Stand-alone Uploader
2) drag-and-drop the photos(s) from iPhoto into Picasa
3) click the "Show File" button in Picasa Uploader for a single photo
(much easier one at a time)
4) open the Picasa upload web page for the online album you would like
to put the photos into in a web browser
5) click the "browse..." button (label using Firefox); a file upload
window will pop up
6) drag-and-drop the file from the "show file" window into the browser
file upload window
7) the photo file should show in the upload window, then click "open"
button
8) repeat up to five times

As you can see this is a very slow, manual work-around. But, you can
get your important photos posted until they fix the bug.

I have been having the same problem as all of you, I'm in Africa
trying to upload photos and it's not working!! I import my photos onto
my computer in PictureProject not Iphoto on my Macbook...does that
mean they won't work. I got at least 200 images up there and now the
rest won't work. What do I do??

This is getting a little frustrating. I've been trying to upload the
pictures since yesterday & the same issue is cropping up every time.
Wonder why 2 of the most innovative companies in the world (Apple +
Google) cant fix the issue or at least communicate what's wrong. Right
now feels like all of us are groping in the dark.

I've got the same problem ; same camera, I've been using with Picasa
all along. Does anyone have any idea how to get Google's attention, to
fix this?

Getting same problem, I wish Apple would just let Google make a MAC
version of Picasa so we could stop clowning around with iPhoto and not
have these issues!!!!! Urrrggg so frustrated now!

Subject: Re: Unsupported output format: text/xml (status 400)... WHAT IS THIS?
thank you Jeffrey & Claudia,

I just tried following their suggestions, and I think I may have found
a slight shortcut.  Here's what I tried (using Safari):

1) open iphoto into the album/pics you want to upload
2) open picasa online to the album you want to add to
3) click on the 'upload photos' link in picasa to open another window
for uploading
4) drag up to 5 photos from iphoto and drop them on the "choose file"
area of the picasa pane.
5) Then click upload on the bottom.

The photos finally went in (I swear they didn't work doing this
yesterday), but the captions from iPhoto didn't transfer.  As my pics
are all captioned and ready to go in iPhoto, I'm not going to redo all
of that work in Picasa, I'm going to try to wait it out instead...
Come on, Google...  you can fix it... and soon!

Thank You, Karen O!

While a very time consuming way to upload, at least it works!  I, too,
went through Safari for this.  It may well work in firefox or other,
but I just went w/ what aorked for Karen and it worked for me as
well.  Hopefully the Picasa folks are on theproblem and smoother,
quicker uploads will be back soon.

Here's a thread about the same issue where a Google Picasa Guide says
that Google is aware and working on the issue.  See it here:
