Adding photos to MobileMe galleries

If I create a MobileMe gallery from one of my albums, will the MM published gallery update whenever I add photos to the original album? Or do I add photos to the MM gallery directly?

but is the MobileMe album, when created from an Event, dynamically linked back to that Event,
NO
MobileMe only updated from photos added to the MobileMe album in the source pane on the left - once you create the MobileMe gallery it and only it is inked to the MobileMe web gallery
It is not linked to the event
it is not linked to an album that may have been used to collect the photos for the gallery
it is inked to the MobileMe web gallery
MobileMe only updated from photos added to the MobileMe album in the source pane on the left
Nothing else
I'm not sure how to make that more clear - but the only way to change the MobileMe gallery from iPhoto is to change the gallery in the MobileMe section of the soruce pane to on the left

HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing. Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
More things you can do:
With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not. You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing. As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos. I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special. Any way - search around to find answers.

Photo sharing replacement for mobileme galleries

HI all,
I'm sure there are others out there, like me, who built their entire gallery strategy on using Apple's "mobileme galleries," and now you have had to find a replacement for that becuase as we all know....There will be no replacement for Galleries in iCloud, you'll need to find another service to host your photos.
So..what have you people done to solve the issue.
I'd love to know. I am still using iWeb and have a host for my site, but I need something to get some galleries on display. I used to love using the "mobileme galleries" and really miss that so much. It was so elegant and simple.
If there are any suggestions you can share, please fire away.
Thanks in advance, and so long for now, TOM

The following if from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.

IWeb 09 issue with displaying MobileMe Galleries in Weblog

Hello everyone,
I searched but did not see this exact issue. I upgraded to iLife 09 this week and my site from iWeb 08 opened successfully in iWeb 09 (although everything was Red). After adding 3 new blog entries, I decided to publish today. At first, the publish entire site errored out with the progress circle half way. I simply tried again and it finally completed the publish entire site.
I checked my website on-line on a Mac using Safari, and on Windows using I.E. and Safari, and have the same problem on all three.
All of my weblog entries that contain a MobileMe Gallery (both photos and videos) are fine in iWeb just as they were before the upgrade. However, when I view the weblog on line, the Web Galleries do not show up on any of the blog entries. There is just a blank space where they used to be.
I also checked my actual Web Gallery on both Mac and Windows and can view content on both. I repaired permissions before my publish and I have noticed one item since I upgraded to 10.5.6 this week (also). I get a permission error related to "Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeMediaBrowser.Framework" that does not appear to get repaired because it shows up every time I repair permissions. I also get another unrepaired permission related to "CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle" but I don't think that is related to this issue.
I have always received excellent help on this forum when encountering an issue and am hoping there is one for this issue. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Having read many of the comments here on this forum, I feel fortunate that my issues were not worse. Here is the URL of a weblog entry that should have 4 MobileMe Galleries at the bottom:

Your URL contains apostrophe character, iweb javascript code had been changed in web09.
It converts special character in your URL path to UTF escape codes and lost in translation when try to use it.
You galleries are there in the widget mark files, but iweb javascript can not read its own (LOL!) widget markup URL:
http://web.me.com/sabretado/sabretado/Weblog/Entries/2009/2/../../../../Weblog/E ntries/2009/2/19Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_and_Fisherman%E2%80%99s_Wharf_files/widget2markup.html
notice the %E2%80%99, that's UTF character.
Try to remove the apostrophe character from your page name and give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

Sync MobileMe Galleries to iPhone/iPod

iTunes (8.1.1) continues to give options for syncing All Photos, All/Some Events or All/Some Albums.
BUT does anyone know how you can sync All/Some MobileMe galleries from iPhoto '09 onto the iPhone/iPod via iTunes?
I realise that the iPhone can access the MobileMe galleries over the web, but there are times when it would just be a lot quicker and easier having the photos on the device itself. And, of course, the web is not an option for my iPod! The reason I want this is that the MobileMe galleries tend to be my polished presentations - all the non-essential photos have been removed, and often they contain photos from multiple events/albums.
Cheers!
C.

Hi LN,
Thanks for the quick response. This certainly is an option, and so far, the only option that I have found. It does, though, have a few drawbacks:
Creating an album for each MobileMe gallery would need to be performed each time a new MobileMe gallery is created. I create my MobileMe galleries on a different machine to the one on which I sync my iPhone/iPod, so it would then require management of MobileMe galleries on one Mac and management of a corresponding album on another Mac! Much easier if I could sync straight from the MobileMe galleries that are automatically sync'ed between my Macs.
Also, since many of my MobileMe galleries are put together firstly as albums, I would end up with several duplicate or nearly duplicate albums - would need careful management of the albums, again because of the differing machines.
Creating one single album for all my MobileMe galleries would mean that all the photos are lumped together under one category on the iPhone/iPod. This would make navigating to the appropriate photos much harder.
But perhaps most importantly, when photos are uploaded to an existing MobileMe gallery (either by myself or by others), these uploaded photos would not automatically be added to the corresponding album. I would, therefore, need to manage the albums manually, making sure I manually add in any new photos. I had thought that a Smart Album could sort this issue out, but it appears that Smart Albums cannot be created using a MobileMe gallery as their source...go figure!
Anyway, thanks very much for the input.

Disappearing MobileMe galleries in Aperture library

I created several MobileMe galleries over the past few days, and was successful in publishing them (although this took a couple of tries). Last night I added a few more photos to one of the galleries and tried to resync. After a couple of minutes, it looked like the process was hanging. Before I could cancel it, however, my entire screen turned gray and displayed a message that said I would have to perform a hard restart. (It's the first time I've ever seen that screen in several years of using a Mac.)
After I restarted, Spotlight reindexed my hard drive. When I opened aperture, my library seemed intact except for the MobileMe galleries. They were completely gone. They're not gone from the MobileMe servers: I can still view those photos online, but they aren't in my Aperture library, and I'm unsure how to relink them. Does anyone know if this is possible, or should I just start over?

I haven't experienced anything like you describe, but there is definitely some bugginess with A3 and MM.
One user suggested checking for published photos in A3's MM preferences to get previous galleries back in the list. DON'T DO IT!
!http://dlsphoto.com/a3MM4.jpg!
When I tried it, the images seemed to be downloading not syncing. When it was done, all my previous galleries were in the list but empty, and "visit gallery" grayed out.
!http://dlsphoto.com/a3MM2.jpg!
If I go to Settings and click publish I get an error that won't go away no matter how many times I click OK. It just pops right back up, and I have to force quit to get out of it.
!http://dlsphoto.com/a3MM3.jpg!
This isn't an answer but a confirmation of problems with A3 and MM.

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?

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

How do I cut Aperture's ties to my nonexistent MobileMe galleries?

I downloaded the contents of my MobileMe galleries and deleted them last year. But Aperture 3.4.5 still shows links to these galleries in my Library (with an iCloud icons!). I tried repeatedly to delete the links, but all I get is warning icons where the broadcasting icons used to be. And when I reopen Aperture the original link reappears. How do I get rid of these references to non-existent MobileMe galleries?

Here are screenshots of the problem MobileMe galleries in my Aperture Library, the delete message, and the resulting warning icons after my unsuccessful deletion attempts. I've tried deleting both with the "import photos to your library before deleting" box checked and unchecked. Either way, I get the same warning icons and the gallery links reappear when I reopen Aperture.

IWeb Doesn't Find MobileMe Galleries

I've built a Web site in iWeb v3.0.1 and want to post fotos and movies to it from my MobileMe Galleries. Even though I can plainly see existing MobileMe Gallery content both online and within iPhoto, when I drag the MobileMe Gallery Widget to my page, instead of giving me selections to choose, I get the Warning Triangle and the dialog, "Upload an album to movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu."
I've fooled around with this every way I can figure without success. Who has an idea how to get my Galleries recognized in iWeb?
Many thanx in advance!
DCR
= = =

I'm new to Iweb. Am also having trouble getting Iweb to find my Mobile Me galleries. I've tried the snippet below, but it still doesn't work. I put my Mobile Me ID where is says "mobilemeID:, right? Then backslash, then the gallery number. When I do this, all I get is a little flicker in the photo screen on the webpage. The Mobile Me gallery widgit actually worked up until a few days ago when the link went dead. Any suggestions? Am I using the snippet correctly? I saw one person said to "refresh" the Mobile Me galleries. How do I do that? I know the galleries are there because I can share them via email.
thanks!

MobileMe Galleries created in Aperture are syncing with iPhoto

I used to use iPhoto, but switched to Aperture 3. Now when I create a MobileMe Gallery, the photos publish to the site but don't show up in the Aperture library under MobileMe. When I log in to the Mobileme site, I check the settings for the gallery and it says it is syncing with iPhoto. I can change it to Aperture manually, and then it will show up properly when I go back to Aperture, but I can't figure out why it's defaulting to iPhoto. I went into the iPhoto preferences and removed all accounts, and there also are not any photos in iPhoto at all. Any help is appreciated.

MobileMe Galleries

I have a question regarding the use of MobileMe galleries. I recently went on a trip and took many photos. I uploaded them to my MobileMe gallery (first time ever). I came home and "merged" the two libraries together (laptop into the desktop). I see the MobileMe Galleries, however, the original files are no longer in the project. It is as if the MobileMe Gallery has taken the original out of the project and has used that in the gallery. Is this because of the way I merged them, or does MobileMe do this?
I realized that I made a few adjustments to these photos on my MBPro, however on my iMac, I can see that the colors aren't 100% what I wanted. Because of this, I want to make a few edits to the originals, and it won't let me, because they are loaded into the MobileMe gallery.
Any thoughts?

Yeah, I think it had to do with the merge. I went to the laptop and exported each project as its own library, then imported each library separately. It asked to merge or add the library, and this time I chose add. It loaded everyone. Everything is where it should be now.
I guess merge means something a little different in Aperture than everywhere else in Apple terms? When I merge my contact info in address book, it puts the two together. I figured when I merged the 2 separate Aperture libraries, it would eliminate the duplicates and add the new ones in. I guess since I uploaded the MobileMe Gallery on the road from the laptop, when the desktop synced with the MobileMe gallery it didn't load the files that were already in the gallery? I really don't know. But it is solved now.
Thanks for the rapid response.

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.

When mobileme galleries are terminated in June, will there be an tightly integrate solution available?

Currently MobileMe galleries are easy to set up, maintain, and offer to others all from within Aperture. While other excellent photo sites like SmugMug are available and have upload capability, the total integration of the MobileMe galleries with Aperture is a delight. [Flickr may offer the integration, but I am looking for something else]
If there will be an option available in the short time before we loose our MobileMe Galleries which has the same associations with Aperture, it would be helpful to begin moving albums/photos there rather than to another site and paying for that site, only to find that it falls short.
It's hard to believe that there is no Apple plan, even if it's to a third party. It seems to me that short of at least maintaining some form of the current tight integration of function, and outside vendor will offer what is currently available, which would include a path outside Aperture.

Do as suggested by seab20 if fibre is coming in the next few months you will see a predicted speed.
What you may have heard is the minimum speed that BT Openreach will currently supply a fibre product which is 5 Mb/sec. There is a marketing rule BT Retail apply that they will not accept an order for Infinity if the predicted speed is less than 15Mb/sec but above 5 Mb/sec they will accept an order for something called "BT Total Broadband Option 3 with Fibre". It is likely that the minmum limit will change over time especially given the government's commitment to deliver minmum 2 Mb/sec to anyone.

Phantom mobileme galleries / iphoto 11

I am working with Iphoto '11 and mobileme. My mobileme galleries includes 20 albums which do not exist on Iphoto and can not be deleted from mobileme (because if logged into mobile me and you attempt to click on the gallery it then gives you error message "Unable to connect to mobileme," which is rubbish because remain connected whole time and can appropriately click through to non phantom albums). The phantom albums do represent albums previously synced with mobileme from earlier versions of iphoto. But I can not see them on iphoto so that I can delete them! Have rebuilt/repaired iphoto 11 repeatedly. Mobileme support says this is iphoto issue and directed to me to 1-800 etc. The galleries that do show up in photo are accurately syncing with mobileme galleries and work just fine. I also tried deleting manually from idisk but it said I did not have access due to permissions. It is almost as if it is syncing with different iphoto library? But I don't have another iphoto library... argh! Any thoughts? If a public user clicks on phantom album, he/she gets the list of pictures but not the actual pictures.

I probably don't have a solution to your problem but maybe something you can try. I've been having the same issue for about a year. It's something I've just dealt with until recently when I needed to show photos to a current client, while the phantom galleries for an older competing client still appeared on gallery page--had to workaround via flickr.
Anyway...I spent an excruciating hour having a live chat w/ someone at mobileme. She indicated that the problem was in my iDisk folder. She instructed me to go to iDisk>web>sites>gallery. She thought I'd see the phantom galleries there -- I didn't; only saw the current newer galleries. Anyway, if you see them, delete them, perhaps it will work for you. If I figure it out, I'll post here. Please do same. Good luck.
