Download MobileMe Gallery Pics to iPhoto Library

I have various MobileMe Galleries that I use to share photos with Friends and Family. Sometimes they add photos as well.
Using my iPhoto I can then download their new photos, that have been added to my gallery. I can create a new Album where they show up - but they do not appear in the full library of all photos.
Can I fix this somehow, or would I need to then export them and reimport them into my iPhoto Library?
thanks,
Stefan.

Hi Terence. thanks for your reply. I think that just led me into the right direction.
I usually just added the images from the shared MobileMe Galleries to Albums only. A green plus sign appears, and the show up in the album but not the Library.
If however I drag them from the MobileMe Gallery onto 'Photos' under the Library Tab, the image count in the libraries goes also up. So - even if they are in an album, and can be located locally on my computer, they do not appear in the Library. Drag them on 'Photos' and there they are... Strange.
But thanks for your help!

Should I be able to see my MobileMe Gallery photos in iPhoto?

I posted this problem a couple of months ago but received no answer - I'm hoping that someone else may have experienced the same problem or someone can explain what it is that I'm doing wrong -
I upgraded from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '09 in June 2009. I have nine MobileMe Gallery albums. Eight of these albums were created and uploaded using iPhoto '08 and only one with iPhoto '09. I have just noticed a problem which, I believe, has only happened since my upgrade and it's a strange one.
While scrolling through the Photos in my iPhoto 09 Library I noticed that for those photos that appeared in an album uploaded to MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 08 I have the photo and immediately next to (after) it a white dotted outline of a blank/black space with the Title of the previous photo under it. If I select this 'blank' photo and drag it to the Trash it removes the photo from my MobileMe Gallery album!
This applies to every photo uploaded to all 8 MobileMe Gallery albums with iPhoto 08. The behaviour is not repeated in the images uploaded to the one album I have uploaded to the MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 09.
Before I realised the significance of these 'blank' photos I selected them as I was scrolling through my Library in Photo view and moved them to the iPhoto Trash! Then I discovered that doing so removed them from both the album on my MobileMe Gallery and the MobileMe Gallery album that I see in the left hand column of iPhoto.
WIll I have to live with these 'blanks' in my Photos view forever?
I would be grateful if anyone can suggest how I might be able to fix this problem.
Cheers
Tricia
PS I have now created another 5 MobileMe albums using iPhoto '09. All these display correctly in my iPhoto 'Photos' view as well as on my MobileMe Gallery so I can confirm that the 'blank' problem only relates to MobileMe albums I created and uploaded using iPhoto '08.
Surely other people have experienced the same problem??

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I don't have a backup drive with me at the moment but as soon as I get back to my Time Capsule I'll backup and do as you suggest. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.

Uploading pics from iPhoto library to the web

Hallo all together!
I know how to upload pics from iPhoto to any other places, so this is NOT my question.
My specific question: I'm visiting a website and there I want to upload some pics which are located in the iPhoto library. I know there is a combination of keys to press, iPhoto library will be opened, you can see all pics like in a normal folder. So they can be uploaded.
o.k., with "ctrl" and "alt" I can open the content, but this is not enough.
Does someone of you know this combination of Keys? Please tell me ....
Thanks and best Regards from Klosterneuburg/Austria
Andy

Andy,
if you do not see the "Media" section in the sidebar, when you try to upload to a web page in the "open" dialogue, hover with the mouse to the right of the title "Media". There may be a hidden Show/Hide control. If necessary, click "Show".
This window may take a long time to populate, when you select the iPhoto library. You may be seeing "loading ..." for quite some time.
If the iPhoto library does not show at all, it may need repairing to recreate the previews.

What is the difference between "Save image to downloads" and "save image to iPhoto library"???

Typically I have been saving my photos to the iphoto library. Im not sure which is the best option. What is the difference between these 2 options?

one goes to your downloads folder and the other goes to your iPhoto library.

IWeb does not recognize new mobileme gallery pics

I recently tried to update an iWeb site with a new slideshow from my MobileMe Gallery. I tried the MobileMe widget in iWeb. In the drop down menu that comes up with that widget, the new site does not appear! All other sites are there, but not the new one. When I look in my Gallery, it is there. What could be happening? I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Could that be the problem?

i opened a thread here about a month ago on the same thing. I used mobileme chat, and they said it was an iweb problem and to call applecare. seems like this is a real bug. The way to get around it is easy though, see http://web.me.com/studiosphoenix/Altf4/Photo_Galleries.html
Those all used to be widgets, but are now just pointers to the mobileme content. All the widgets have broken - almost one by one - over the past several months on all my sites:(

I am unable to upload pics from iphoto library into fb

whenever i tried to post pics to my fb from the upload menu in Facebook. I can't see the iphoto menu on the open foolders. it only gives me the option to go to my pictures file which doesn't have all of my pictures from iphoto. How do i fix this problem. ?

Have a read of this. The first option is the one you want, but you may have to scroll in the window to see it.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

Is this a new problem?
ATT phone?
How full is the phone? Check settings, general usage. If the phone is full, back up, and then reset your phone to remove corrupt files and old text and phone logs. Then restore from backup.
Are you in Apples family sharing group?
Is your Apple ID and password correct in settings? sign out, and sign back in.

Editing titles on mobileme gallery

OK - this is a simple question... I have created albums that I have then posted to MobileMe. So in my source panel, there's a section for Events, Albums and MobileMe Galleries, amongst others. If I want to make changes to my album on MobileMe, do I do it all within the MobileMe Gallery section of my iPhoto or do it make the changes to the Album I used to create the gallery? For example, if I want to add titles to my photos, where should I do it? Is there a way to add titles in such a way that they are added to my iPhoto and to my MobileMe Gallery? Or was I supposed to add all the titles before I posted the album to MobileMe?
Same questions for adding/removing photos from the Album and MobileMe Gallery. Can I do it in one place to impact both? Sorry - I've had such trouble lately posting albums that I feel like I've forgotten how it's supposed to work.

Adding the title in any of those places will change all of them (set MobileMe to manual update first to avoid issues of making changes while it is automatically updating) - there is one and only one photo in iPhoto and it shows in the album, in the MobileMe gallery and the iPhoto library
Or was I supposed to add all the titles before I posted the album to MobileMe?
This is a better work flow for a number of reasons - but not required

removing a photo from the source album only removes it from that album
Removing a photo from the MobileMe gallery removed is from both the MobileMe gallery on MobileMe and in iPhoto
Removing a photo from the iPhoto library (event or photo view) and emptying the iPhoto trash removed the photo from all places - all albums, galleries, books and disk

IPhoto 09 MobileMe Gallery Sync

Friends,
I apologize if this has already been asked. I have searched and searched and searched and just cannot find an answer.
Here's what I am trying to figure out. I have a decent sized photo library being managed by iPhoto 09. I have diligently organized everything into events and take advantage of every iPhoto feature I can. One need I have is to allow family members the ability to upload new photos to my library.
I have tried publishing my events to the MobileMe Gallery and allowing uploads but there are a few problems with this scenario. First, I have hundreds of events and want to publish all of them. So far as I can tell, I must publish each of them one by one. Second, while the upload works, the new photos go to the "MobileMe Gallery" section in iPhoto. I want them synced all the way back to the source event. I know I can copy them over, but again, I have hundreds of events. It would be an impossible and completely manual process with which to manage.
I've tried this with Flickr too but the iPhoto integration works much the same as the MobileMe gallery. I don't care what technologies are in play. I just really want to be able to allow photos to be uploaded to me somehow and have them automagically find their way back into the proper event in iPhoto.
I can't imagine this is a unique requirement. How do others allow family and friends to contribute photos while still being able to organize everything in iPhoto in an effective way?
Rick

I just really want to be able to allow photos to be uploaded to me somehow and have them automagically find their way back into the proper event in iPhoto.
Simply, this is not a feature at this time.

MobileMe Galleries orphaned when importing Iphoto library into Aperture 3

Can anyone advise how I can get my existing MobileMe galleries to be listed into A3. They were uploaded via Iphoto and I imported that library into A3 but the MM galleries are not there. Obviously I have filled in the appropriate boxes etc in preferences.

1) Log in to MobileMe via the web at www.me.com.
2) Click on the PHOTOS icon along the top toolbar.
3) Click the "Gear" button and select the option for "New Album".
4) Give the album title a dummy name like "Aperture Link Dummy" and under the "Syncs with:" selection, choose "Aperture".
5) Once this new album is created, you can now click on each individual MobileMe gallery that you wish to sync with Aperture and the "Lightswitch" button for "Album Settings" will now have the option to "Sync with: Aperture" as well.
6) After making the necessary Album Settings changes for those that you wish to sync with MobileMe, return to your Aperture program and go to PREFERENCES --> WEB.
7) Under the option "Check for new published photos:", select one of the options OTHER than "Automatically" and the "Check Now" button next to it should become clickable.
8) Click "Check Now" and you should immediately see Aperture add a "MOBILEME GALLERY" heading under the Library pane and will begin to import your MobileMe galleries.
This is about as far I've gotten with getting my existing MobileMe galleries into Aperture. Unfortunately, now the problem is that they are no longer linked to their respective albums/events. When in iPhoto, if I made edits to the album/events, the MobileMe gallery would automatically be updated with those changes. I assume this behavior is the same for new galleries created from within Aperture, but it does not seem to affect those galleries that were imported from iPhoto. Let me know if you get anywhere with this issue.

I am not see in iPhoto 09 pictures from mobileme gallery

first - I am sorry for me bad english........
I am not see in iPhoto 09 pictures from mobileme gallery. in me iPhoto is Mobileme gallery and in this are various albums.

Can you help me any , where is problem ? Thank you

This is a long shot but try this:
1 - go to your System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of your MMe account.
2 - try logging in with a bad user name and password to clear the caches.
3 - now log in with your correct user name and password.
4 - launch iPhoto, select your MMe galleries one at a time and click on the publish button
5 - check your online galleries to see if they can not be viewed.

MobileMe Gallery iPhoto 08 question

I created an album on MobileMe gallery on my iPhone 4 while in the hospital and posted some pictures of my new child. How do I have that album / gallery show up in iPhoto under my MobileMe Gallery link in iPhoto so I can put pictures I took with my regular camera there? All the galleries I created from my iMac are there.

That is not the way iPhoto currently works - you can not link it to an existing album - you must create the album on iPhoto first

Just downloaded 518 to my iphoto library and now they are gone!

Please help! I downloaded 518 pictures to my iphoto library. They were all under last import and the import was complete. It showed the photos as an event, and I changed the name if the event. But when I opened the event it said "no photos." Then all of a sudden only 10 of the 518 photos are under last import and there is no event at all for them. Please help. I just updated iphoto prior to this incident.The program deleted the photos from my camera.

If you are seeing photos in Last Import, it is in an event. Select one of the photos you are seeing, then ctrl-click and select "Show Event".
This will show you the event for the photos in the "Last Import".
To find the photos, that are no longer there, select the "Photos" view and sort the photos by date from the "View" menu:
This way, the newest photos should appear at the end of the list of photos.

Hyperlinks in MobileMe Gallery?

Is it possible to include hyperlinks anywhere in the descriptions of photos in MobileMe Gallery (or in iPhoto photo descriptions), that will get uploaded to MobileMe Gallery? Or is iWeb my only choice to achieve this?
Thanks!
Kenneth

No.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Uploading Photos to MobileMe Gallery results in "Request to Server Failed"

Hello everyone!
I've run across a very frustrating problem.
I am wanting to upload some photos to a MobileMe gallery from within iPhoto '08 (Version 7.1.4; Mac OS X 10.4.11). When I start the upload, it runs for several minutes and the progress bar appears with the message "Uploading Thumbnails". After several minutes of this (usually the progress bar gets about 1/4 of the way through), I get an error message that says "Request to Server Failed". If I try to then restart the upload by clicking on the alert icon next to the gallery name in the sidebar, the gallery disappears.
I have tried deleting the iPhoto caches from ~/Library/Caches and the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file from ~/Library/Preferences. I have logged out of MobileMe from System Preferences and had iPhoto log me back in. Nothing seems to work. I keep getting this error.
I have published photos to .Mac Gallery in the past (but not since the transition to MobileMe. Those galleries are still there on the web and listed in the sidebar. I'm afraid of messing with them though for fear that they too will disappear.
I've done Google searches and searches here on Apple Discussions and found no definite solutions.
I could really use some help on this one. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

How many galleries do you have? If only a few try deleting them manually from the iDisk/Web/Sites/_gallery folder and republish from iPhoto.
