Aperture and MobileMe galleries

Hi,
I have the problem that the sorting criteria of my MobileMe galleries always change during the synchronisation process. I want the newest images to be shown on top. That's why I choose "date" as criteria. When I sync the gallery the sort criteria is set to "manual" automatically and the oldest images are shown on top.
I hoped that the newest update solves this problem but that is not the case It's still the same situation.
It is really annoying because you never know how your images show up in the MobileMe gallery.
I use Aperture 3.0.2 on a Macbook Pro 15'' with 2,4 GHz C2D.
Thanks for your feedback.

I think you are talking about the order of the Galleries here. If so it is very easy to change them but certainly not intuitive to say the least. You need to log onto your MobileMe account through a web browser. The easiest way to get there is: Apple Menu: System Preference: MobileMe button: Account tab: Account Details button.
You then log in with your name and password.
Click on the Gallery tab (sunflower) and you can drag your MobileMe Galleries into whatever order you want. You can also change the main Gallery name here.
Now I'd be real happy if I could make multiple sites and not just additional albums in the same site.

  • How to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?

    What is the best way to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?
    I want to move it smoothly without hours of reconfiguring albums and Mobileme galleries.  Already have a timemachine backup of the older iMac with the iphoto library.

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Aperture 3 and MobileMe Galleries created in iPhoto

    I wanted to post this to hopefully help someone else should they run into the same thing.
    I recently upgraded from point and shoot camera's to a higher quality camera, so I also decided that it was time to upgrade from iPhoto to something better.  I decided on Aperture as I am not quite ready to commit to the expense and time to learn something as complex as Photoshop.
    Well, the first time I opened Aperture and told it to import my iPhoto library, it worked without any difficulty.  But, I noticed something was missing.  My MobileMe galleries where not displayed in the inspector window for Aperture.  I could not for the life of me, figure out how to get them to show up in there either.
    I went to the Apple store and talked to some Aperture users there and no one could seem to tell me how to fix this.  It was even more frustrating because all of my photo albums from FaceBook came up in Aperture just fine.
    Finally in a last ditch, hail mary pass, of an idea, I went to the web UI for my MobileMe galleries.  I figured that maybe if I edited something about those galleries, they would then show up in Aperture.
    Well, I went into the properties for one of the galleries that I was not seeing in Aperture, and low and behold, there in the properties was an option to choose what application that gallery would sync to.  The only options are iPhoto or Aperture, so I changed each gallery to show Aperture as the chosen app to sync with.
    Finally they now show in Aperture, of course, as you might expect, they no longer show in iPhoto.
    I have no idea why the Import process does not warn you about this, and / or offer to change them for you, but it was very frustrating.
    If this can help someone else new to Aperture to avoid this frustration, then I am glad.

    Thanks Richard, very helpful. I wondered why I couldn't see my old mobileme galleries in Aperture.
    I have swapped between iPhoto '09, Aperture 3, iPhoto '11 and now back to Aperture. Whilst I love the ease of use and relative speed of iPhoto, Aperture's adjustments and masters/versions handling has the edge for me now that my masters collection is too big for my MBP. And with a clean install of Lion my machine now seems more responsive than it has been for a while.
    Changing the setting of each gallery is a bit dull, is there a global 'manage mobile me galleries with iPhoto/Aperture' setting anywhere?

  • Aperture and mobileme = washed out picture after downloading?

    Hi,
    Synced a few albums from Aperture to a few mobileme gallery's so a few friends could download the pictures very easy. One of them asked me why i screwed up the pictures because the all appeared to have a washed out look on his pc.
    Tried it myself and it's true.
    If i download a picture from the gallery and open in in Xee on my mac it appears to be washed out, in preview it looks ok. On a windows pc in the default picture viewer same result.
    Opening the file in photoshop it appears to be ok.
    Tried to talk to a mobileme support guy but he couldn't help me with it.
    test album: http://gallery.me.com/reinoutsmit#100099&bgcolor=black&view=grid

    Don't fully understand what you are observing in Aperture. For me originals show Adobe RGB, as do the images seen in the MM gallery within Aperture, and as do Downloads from that MM gallery. (I primarily use SmugMug these days, and not MobileMe galleries).
    Secondly, I don't correlate what William said with viewing of a Download -- but would perhaps with Online? Any download should view fine, unless the problem is with the viewing app? And as I said, everything I could view a download with displayed fine.
    Third, another discussion, unrelated to Aperture discusses similar issues with profiles -- see:

  • HELP! Sudden weird behavior in Aperture and MobileMe!

    So, I am running the latest version of Aperture and have been successfully publishing many albums to mobileme.
    I have several external hard drives connected to my computer, and almost all of my image files in aperture are referenced. Lately I have been importing the images from SD cards directly into the aperture library, editing, then relocating the masters so that i would only store the keepers (i went this route because it was unclear to me whether or not originals were also deleted if i deleted referenced files--the pop up wording seems vague to me). I usually back up the new image files on the harddrives manually, and then back up the aperture library to a vault after every major import. I also wait until I have done this to reformat my sd cards.
    Of course, this morning, something happened. We had a power outage, and although i have my entire system on UPS units, i had to shut everything down because the batteries only last so long. I did not have time to perform my usual Vault back up. I had a handful of projects with masters in the aperture library (not yet edited and masters relocated). There is one project I do not still have on sd card so that one (and inconvenience for the others) hangs in the balance.
    The situation is this: When I rebooted after our power outage (i reiterate that all hard drives as well as the main mac were shut down safely and properly on battery power), all referenced file projects appear normal, but I cannot see any images in the projects with masters stored in the aperture library. The weird part is that if i put the pointer over those projects, i do get the little balloon that tells me how many versions are in each project. It's like aperture knows they are there, but I don't see them. And another weird thing--the REJECTED images from these projects DO appear when I click on the Rejected Smart Album. And the starred images from those projects DO appear when I click on the one-star-or-better smart album. I don't get it.
    I also cannot see some of the mobileme galleries within aperture when i select them. When i went on-line to see my gallery, there is some weird behavior...some albums are acting strange, confusing images from other albums, or not accepting my username and password settings (I know they are right), or giving me a different album when I select one to look at.
    PLEASE HELP if you can. If I need to, I can always restart from my vault version of the library and reimport last week's stuff from the sd cards, but i'd rather not do that, not to mention there is that one project i will lose.
    I'm here waiting for anyone who thinks they can help!
    Thanks,
    Heather

    Hi Heather
    I was wondering if I was the only one with this problem. Unfortunately I don't have an answer. I'm running Aperture 2 on a MacBook, with my library on an external drive. The problem is increasing; it seems that most (but not all) recent projects are affected, but none that I created before the problem first started.

  • Aperture and MobileMe Gallery

    I have a website which was created in Aperture and uploaded to my MobileMe Gallery some time ago. Since upgrading to version 3 it seems that the gallery has lost its link with the Aperture Album. The MobileMe gallery shows 'Sync with Aperture' in the info window but the Gallery does not show in the MobileMe Gallery Section of Aperture.
    Is there anyway I can re-link the Gallery and Aperture manually?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    No one able to offer any insight to this issue?

  • Aperture and MobileMe - Unable to make galleries

    Anyone else having this issue... If I try and make a gallery of say anything that is over 20 photos it takes Aperture FOREVER to upload and then always gives me some error after say 30 minutes saying it was unable. Only after I try uploading the same album a few times does it seem to finally upload. What gives?

    I'm also having a problem though slightly different. SInce upgrading to Aperture 2.1.1 now my Web Galleries (now Mobile Me galleries) only upload small screen resolution jpgs even though I am setting it correctly to upload the original files. I've tried deleting the galleries in question and building new ones but I get the same results. I hate to be down on Apple because there's so many people out there that will begrudge them anything but the Mobile Me debacle is obviously not over yet.

  • Aperture and MobileMe Sync

    Syncing photos out of Aperture to a MobileMe Gallery results in missing photos and double photos in the web gallery. Workflow as follows: selected and marked Photos in my Library, clicked MobileMe button, created new MobileMe Gallery, waited sync to be complete, checked result: 305 photos in the web gallery, 435 photos in my Aperture MobileMe album. Seems the sync comes with some bugs and flaws. Help highly appreciated!

    I'm still having trouble with the same problem as described. I've followed the instructions as described below which make perfect sense...
    @ Rienzo: Currently MobileMe will only sync photos with one program at a time. You need to go to www.me.com, go to the gallery page, and for each album change the setting to sync photos from iPhoto to Aperture. The settings button looks like a light switch on the top bar.
    ... After selecting an album and the "light switch", I don't see the option listed to chose Aperture. Under the Album Settings dialog, there are three choices under "Allow", two under "Show", and one under "Advanced" non of which allow the selection with respect to Aperture vs. iPhoto others are seeing; where am I going wrong here?
    OS-X is up to date as are all applications.

  • IWeb 3.0.3 and mobileMe galleries

    I recently upgraded to iLife 11 and the most recent version of iWeb, 3.0.3.  In iWeb on my computer almost everything looks fine, the same as it was before the upgrade.  The mobileMe gallery widgets are in place as usual, as well as any audio files.  I did notice in the Insert pull down menu under Widget>MobileMe Gallery> this appears: (no albums or movies available).  That doesn't seem right.
    After the upgrade, all my entries had turned to red, so I used the "Publish Site" button, the publish went pretty much as normal, and all the entries once again turned blue.  However, not everything is working properly when I visit the website (using Safari 5.0.5).  The mobileMe gallery widgets do not pop up, only a blank square where they should be.  Also, the audio files seem to be hit and miss, sometimes they download while at other times I just get the little Quicktime "Q" symbol where the progress bar would normally be.  I published a second time using the "Publish Entire Site" option from the File pull down menu.  That did not change anything.
    Any suggestions to remedy this situation are greatly appreciated.

    The MME Gallery plugin isn't working properly in iWeb.
    To overcome that, you can still use the code to display the Gallery. Have a look at the source of this page :
        http://www.wyodor.net/Scripts/MeGallery.html
    Grab the code and paste it in a HTML Snippet. Use your own MMe username and Gallery number. Benefit is, you can also change the width and height of the widget.
    Problem with the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch is, they do not support Flash.
    So I created my own solution :

  • .mov Files have Black Thumbnail in iPhoto '08 and MobileMe Galleries

  • How to add uploaded photos (not from aperture) in Mobileme Gallery to a project

    I shared some photos using a mobileme gallery where I allowed friends to upload their photos to the gallery.  Now the gallery exists with both the photos from my aperture library (and project) and my friends photos (which appear in aperture with a little symbol). 
    I would like to have the photos that were uploaded by my friends to be added to a new project without moving or erasing them in the mobileme gallery.  Is there a simple way to do this? I know if I select photos from a project and drag and drop them to another project aperture moves the photos but I don't know if this is how aperture handles mobileme galleries in the inspector.
    Jeff

    Just drag an image from the MobileMe Gallery to a project it will copy the image, not move it. Aperture will move images that are stored locally in the library but since these images uploaded by friends are only stored on the MobileMe servers, Aperture will make a copy when you drag them to a project.

  • MobileMe galleries and Aperture stacks

    I'm using MobileMe galleries to share and display some photos. It seems you can't upload images from within Aperture projects when they're stacked, at least only the images on the top of the stacks. I often want to upload a whole project, without unstacking, so I just want to selec-all and create a new album. But all I'm uploading are the top images of each stack. Does anyone know what the solution might be?
    Many thanks,
    Richard

    Richard,
    This is expected behavior when using Stacks. The purpose of a stack is to stack groups several images of which you only intend to use one, known as the pick.
    One solution to allow you to keep your stacks but use all the images in MobileMe Gallery, is to create a Smart Album within the project and use this Smart Album for your MobileMe Gallery.
    Smart Albums you create offer the option Ignore stack groupings by unchecking the "Include stack picks only" from the Smart Album criterion. If this option is deselected (the default for a Smart Album), then all images that meet the criteria for the Smart Album will be available in the Media pane, regardless of stack pick status.
    See: Working with Stacks - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2940
    See: "Handling of Stacked Images" in Tips on Sharing with iLife - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1056
    Hope this helps

  • Aperture on one Laptop and one Desktop but different MobileMe galleries

    I have Aperture 3 installed on two different machines, one MacBook and one iMac. I cannot understand why, if I create a MobileMe Gallery with my iMac, I cannot see it when I use Aperture with my MacBook.
    First of all, is it possible to share the same MobileMe galleries on two different machines? (I guess so, but ...)
    If so, how can I do it?
    Regards

    Theoretically, yes.
    In preferences go to the Web Tab. Where it says "check for newly published photos" you can leave it on manual and click "check now" or use the drop down to have it check automatically at given intervals.
    I don't know how well this works or if it introduces any problems. I think its intended purpose is to sync iPhoto and Aperture created galleries and to retrieve photos posted by other means like mobile uploads.

  • Add old/existing mobileme galleries to Aperture?

    I have created mobileme galleries with iPhone and iPhoto on another computer, and would now like to be able to manage them on Aperture 3. Is this possible?
    I have imported the old iPhoto library, but none of the mobileme galleries imported.
    I have already created a new mobileme gallery from Aperture, so I'm signed in ok.

    You might try this.
    View your mobileme gallery via your web browser.
    Single click on your gallery.
    Then click on the "Adjust settings" button (Looks like two sliders)
    Look towards the bottom of the pane and you'll find "Syncs with"
    You might be able to change that from iPhoto to Aperture

  • MobileMe Galleries Slow and address redirected

    I use MobileMe galleries increasingly with Aperture. They have worked well and are fast and easy.
    In the last few days, I have noticed a serious slow down with viewing galleries in Safari. Specifically, I've noticed that the page loads almost completely (slowly) then redirects to a very slightly changed name. So where the page address as shown in Aperture is for example : http://gallery.me.com/membername100123 ... it starts to load this page (slowly) then when almost done, redirects to this page : http://gallery.me.com/membername#100123. Note the '#' character. This page also loads incredibly slowly. By slow I mean at around 10KBs to 40KBs.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about what is happening? Anyone else seeing the same thing?
    Why is Aperture creating incorrectly addressed galleries? Any suggestions about how to fix this?

    Answering my own question ...
    It appears to be a DNS problem/issue with Safari or MobileMe or my ISP or a combination of them.
    I always use my ISP's DNS servers. But trying some others show the problems. Google's are slow, but Open-DNS is as fast as Firefox. (I wonder if Firefox are doing some sort of DNS juggling internally?). Using Automatic and the router for DNS is slow too.
    (BTW ... I had already reset Safari etc.)
    The issue for Aperture remains though, in that it is supplying an erroneous/out-of-date URL for MobileMe galleries.
