Aperture 3 + Mobile Me = problems

If I choose to update my MobileMe galleries from the settings menu, Aperture needs very long for these updates and will upload some photos from some Albums although nothing has changed since the last update. During the update Aperture is unresponsive.
At the moment it seems to update in an infinite loop: when one Album is updated, Aperture adds another - already updated - one to the the list of items to synchronize and again uploads photos it uploaded 15 minutes ago.
So my recommendation for people who are heavily using MobileMe galleries for distributing their work: wait for 3.1.
Saludos Johannes

According to [this Apple kbase article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3102] there is a workaround for this issue:
"This occurs if you publish images or videos with identical names to the same MobileMe Gallery album. Make sure that each file has a unique name. For example, if you try to publish an image and a video both named "My Vacation" to the same album, the alert will occur. To resolve this issue with an existing album:
1. Rename one of the files.
2. Republish it to a new MobileMe Gallery album.
3. Delete the old album."
Best of luck.

  • HT5132 Aperture mobile me problems

    How can I stop the transfer of albums from mobile me I have several albums & it takes forever to do this process I have backups already I don't want this to happen its stopping me using Aperture please help !

    Hi Martin,
    Quit Aperture - force quit if necessary
    Disconnect the internet (Wi-fi, Ethernet, whatever you have), before you launch Aperture again.
    Now the panel should no longer appear - if it does, press the "Learn more" button, not o.k.
    Then use the "File > Web Accounts > Manage Web Accounts" menu entry from Aperture's main menu bar and remove "MobileMe" from the list of accounts in the accounts pane by pressing "-".
    After that, open the System Preferences > MobileMe > Accounts pane and sign out of MobileMe.
    Good Luck

    P.S: instead of force quitting you might  try this:

  • Aperture Preferences - Mobile Me

    For some reason when I selected the MobileMe tab in Apertures Preferences the software hangs (spinning rainbow circle) and I have to force quit. When I relaunch the application and select preferences, it still got MobileMe selected and then hangs without giving me time to deselect. Anyone had this problem??

    This nagging should have stopped by now, since Mobile Me is no longer available.
    Press "Learn More" once again.
    Then open the Aperture Preferences, go to the "Web" tab in the "Preferences" panel, and remove the "Mobile Me" account. This should stop the alert.
    If it doesn't, quit Aperture (and if you are running Mac OS 10.7. or later, log off and on again) and clear the Aperture Caches:  remove the file
         ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Aperture/mmsunset.plist
    from your User Library. This file contains the information on the end of MobileMe and when to stop nagging.
    If clearing the caches did not do the trick, remove the Aperture Preferences; see the "Aperture 3 Trouble Shooting Basics" on how to do this.

  • Mobile Home problem with Magic Triangle

    So I have been setting up a magic triangle for the past few days with an OSX Lion server.  I believe it is working properly.  The server is running OD and is bound to my AD.  I have made an OD group which contains my AD users, and I have set that OD group to have limited application preferences (one of them is to block the App store).  All my users have MacBook Airs which they will take off-site, so I enabled mobile home folders in the AD bind and in the OD group mobility settings (with confirmation required).
    When I tested it today, with Airs running 10.7.4, here is what happened.
    When the system was on the network, it would log a user in, ask to create the mobile account, and successfully create it.  Once logged in they were limited to the application preferences that I set on the server.  I considered this a complete success.
    When I disconnected them from the network, I had expected that they would still be able to log in and the system would fuction the same way with the exception that they would not sync their changes until they were back on-site.
    Instead...
    When the same user trys to log in it says the AD server is unavailable and then logs them in anyway.  However, once they are at the desktop, none of the permissions are in place.  They can go to the app store, or do anything else they feel like.  Once they are back on the network, all the server based preferences reappear and lock the system down.
    So my questions are:
    1. Should a mobile account based system compain that it cant find the AD domain when offsite?
    2.  Why is it not checking some cached verison of the permissions and locking down the notebook when offsite?  I can tell that it is caching the user name and password (as loging in as a user the air has never seen before will simply give a login error), as it will let them in, but it is not holding any preferences. 
    3.  How can I prevent users from simply disconnecitng from the network to bypass all my server based policies?
    Hope someone can help

    Hi,
    I'm having a similar problem with exactly the same setup, our clients are 10.7.4 wired not wireless the OD server is 10.7.4 and the clients are authenticating via an AD 2008 R2 domain.
    We've had this scenario in the past running 10.5 and 10.6 without any problems but with 10.7.4 the clients' MCX settings are lost when they're not connected to our network. It seems to only lose the settings applied to user groups but not computer groups.
    At this moment in time I don't have an aswer I'm still looking, have you found a solution?
    I know configuration profiles are the way forward and in the future I'll move over to them but they don't seem to work that well with PHD's at the moment.
    If anyone has any thought on this it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jay.

  • Mobile me: problem syncing/ computer idenity issue?/ ical

    hi,
    so about 2 months or go my computer (a macbook pro 2.8 ghz) would tell me that the password for mobile me was incorrect, when it wasn't. i could keep getting mail (my .me account) but the sync system kept telling me the password was not correct. so, the only way to sync was to plug my phone (3gs) into my computer.
    then i get an email (about a week ago) that i need to update my mobile me calendar, so i do. then my calendar has the -on my mac, and now - my mobileme account. so now i have duplicates of everything! since both (the on my mac, and my .me) are the same.
    i go ahead and delete the .me account from my ical since i don't want 2 copies of everything.
    so then i again try to sync my phone with out it plugged in. i get a message that tells me (basically, b/c i cant remember it) that this .me account is already associated to a computer named 'my computer's name'. i have one laptop, that i have had for 2 years now. my phone has not been synced to another computer ever. it told me i should rename the computer, but i know the computer it is talking about, and it is the only one i am on. so i decide to tell it to ignore it, or whatever word it actually said. it tells me some information might get lost, but i know there is only 1 computer. i almost feel like my computer is having split personality disorder right now, confusing itself with another.
    so now i still can't sync. the last window is such, "you are nw syncing some of your information with mobile me for the first time." (what, no im not. i always sync.) "to avoid losing this information on your computer, merge the information on your computer with the information on mobileme." the options are then, merge information, replace information on this computer, or replace information on mobileme.
    i don't know what to choose. i have a fear that if i merge i will again get everything. 2 sets of contacts, 2 sets of calendars, etc. i don't know which of the other 2 to choose since i don't know which one it is considering a master.
    i'm just lost. i really want to bring it in for mac support. is that possible? or can someone please help.
    thanks so much.

    Roger,
    thank you so much.  That seems to have completely corrected the problem.  At least, it's not erasing it on my laptop.  I'll have to check it tomorrow morning on the desktop, but it looks like this was a complete win.
    Thank you so much!

  • Since Snow Leopard Aperture 3 upgrades - multiple problems have all but disabled my computer

    I recently posted an Aperture and Apple TV question and it was suggested to me that because I'm having the plethora of serious problems that I needed to bring up the other issues here to seek advice.
    The following problems have been going on for many months and I've been using my computer less and less. I have posted about and followed most of these problems before but I'm  going to revive my efforts to figure out how to get my computer working  again because the situtaion is simply heartbreaking to me and unbearable to ignore. Now  Aperture is crashing within seconds of opening it so I have no access to  all my photographs and no ability to pursue my photograhy hobby any  further.
    First, a description of my set up. I have an early Mac Pro (Nov '06) with only 2 GB of RAM. It's a Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 3 GHz, with a ATI Radeon X1900 XT graphics card. I have a 500 GB primary drive where all my applications live and about 300 GB of free space there. My photo library is about 70,000 photos taking up 286 GB. I have all my photos residing on my second 1 TB internal HD with about 300 GB still free.
    No matter what I'm working in, I have flashing artifacts all over my monitor. They flash several times a minute and are very distracting. Usually it's just random flickering about my desktop but it can also grab some part of my desktop or app I'm working in and make an odd, distorted area that hangs for a while. Sometimes the artifacts become quite bizarre. For instance, when my cursor is about to quit functioning (no click) sometimes it will form a track line of mulitiple colors as I drag it across the screen. I'd love to take a screenshot but when this happens I'm not able to click on anything and end up having to do a hard shut down with my power button.
    I have horizontal lines that are sometimes confined to the browser screen but also go clear across my monitor. They are confined to my Apple Display and do not show up on the TV I have hooked up as a mirror monitor.
    Crashes and instability have become the norm. I hold my breath on restarts hoping my cursor will click and my keyboard will work. I cannot estimate the times I've not been able to fill out a crash report or that I've typed a few short sentences and it's frozen before I can hit send.
    The cursor is completely frozen in place only periodically. What is more common is that I can move it all around but can't select a thing. When that happens the keyboard is dead too. An action that tends to freeze the screen is when I scroll down within the first minute of my desktop appearing after restart and I get to the dock to pop up. At that second I'm often dead in the water. I can't click a thing.
    The fans do tend to rev up when it's going to have the freeze up or dead cursor issues. I followed some advice to upload smcFanControl but I think I did something wrong. I can't select anything with it and it's done no good at all.
    A recent annoying development is a half inch black band goes across the top and bottom of my monitor, robbing me of desktop real estate.
    ALL of these annoyances with flashing, black bands and crashing disappear in Safe Boot, but that mode does not let me work in Aperture.
    There have been a few more issues that I can't think of right now but these are the everyday problems. If anyone has the solution to these horrible disruptions, I will be eternally grateful.

    I won't be able to try the Apple Hardware test right away because I don't have time to disconnect everything to run the test. I might also get into my computer to check for dust on the graphics card if I can find good instructions on removing it. While prowling the other topics from people having similar problems I came across this link:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/Graphics/radeon_X1900XT/X1900XT_dust_buildup.html#sto rytop
    Having a unit that looks that bad is a definite possibility for me as I have cats and dogs.
    I'm confused about your logic board comment. Why did you say that's a good lifespan for a portable when I'm discussing my Mac Pro? Is my logic board listed in "About this Mac"? If so, where? My hard drive accidently got fried by a tech just before my APP ran out and I know quite a few things got replaced but I can't remember exactly what. I'm wondering if that is newer that the stock logic board that came with the computer.

  • Mobile network problem in my lumia 520

    Once network gone, I have to Restart it then again mobile network come.calling proble occurs many times even network is dispayed. Network problem sshould be rectify.

    Hi mbkrish,
    Do you experience the network issue regardless of your area? Aside from calling, are the other network services working fine like SMS messaging and mobile data connection? Is this for a Lumia 520 as well? If so, I hope you're using a standard microSIM and not a cut one as this is what the phone is designed to use.
    BTW, the reset that the Nokia Care Center recommended is the one under Settings > about, is that right? After the reset, have you checked if the system apps are updated? Go to Settings > swipe to applications > store > check for updates. 
    Let us know how it will go. 

  • Aperture and Snow Leopard problems

    I have multiple issues with Aperture after upgrading to SL (currently on 10.6.2). The major issues are:
    (1) Whenever I import new images or make modification to existing images Aperture does not quit anymore. Command quit doesn't do anything and I have to force quit in order to exit program.
    (2) After importing new files, often not all images are shown in the project or album (although all images have been imported and the tooltip shows the correct number of images in the project/album). Furthermore, keywords searches do not work. A force quit and reopening solves this problem.
    (2) When saving or opening images the dialog box does not work properly and some folders are overlayed with black/grey boxes and things look corrupted.
    Obviously, I have installed 2.1.4 and I do not have Aperture in any subfolder (it is directly in the app folder). Furthermore, I have deleted the preferences file (com.apple.Aperture.plist) but this did not help.
    What to do next? Re-install Aperture? If I have to do this what docs do I have to delete and how can I avoid loosing any important information? I have a very large image library with many adjustments, keywords, rankings etc and I definitely do not want to loose any of that information. Thanks much for your help and advise.

    I decided to backup up everything. I then erased the HD and reinstalled Leopard Disk 1 and 2. Did all the system updates and added all the optional software on the disks. Then installed Snow Leopard. Then installed Aperture and all updates including 2.1.4 and my printer drivers. Then followed with all my other apps like MS Office and Quicken.
    Took about 2 hours.
    Everything works perfectly and is quite snappy including Aperture. No problems with any of the Aperture functions.
    It's a lot of work but its easy to do if you have other things to do while the software is installing.
    If you are up to all that and dont mind the time, you'll be happy plus you now have a clean, fresh disk.

  • Aperture - serious image quality problems

    Two things in advance: 1st of all I love Aperture. That is why I've purchased a MacPro. 2nd thing: English is not my native language please be tolerant about it.
    Back to the topic. My images look blured sometimes. I dont get why it is so but it is rather strange. They are just, hmm, soft. I noticed that sometimes Aperture does not load the image. It just shows it. If there is no reload the images are soft. I had this feeling until today.
    But now I have evidence: I made a Version copy of one my images. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a duplicate of a Version. I did not change any other settings. And guess what: they look different. It is evident when I switch between the two versions. Really really strange! Have a look on them here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/endre.lovas/Aperture%20Bug/
    Any ideas? Does it have anything to do with image previews? Is it possible to turn off those previews somehow? I beleive I have a strong enough comp to avoid the use of them.
    Thank you.
    Endre
    MacPro 2.66   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The two images appear virtuall identical to me in all respects... I downloading both images (the larger ones you get after clicking in the gallery) and overlaid them in Photoshop - once aliged there are almost no differences, and the slight differences that are there can be explained by JPEG compression artifacts being different because the two images are slightly different in cropping.
    I am not saying you don't have a problem, but this gallery does not seem to be showing it well. I can't say either why one image would be fuzzt and another not.

  • Aperture and Flickr Export Problems - Missing Files

    I have a MacPro, Aperture 3, and Flickr Pro account. I was planning on using Flickr as an online storage/back-up option for lower-res files. However, whenever I try to upload a project to Flickr files always seem to drop off.
    For example, if I export a project with 446 files in it, when it gets to Flickr it'll say I only have 403 images. Likewise if I try a smaller project (e.g., 426 -> 404).
    Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what is the cause of this problem?
    Also, any way to remove that 500 upload limit per project to Flickr? Flickr itself does not limit the number of photos you can store in a set.
    Thanks!

    Maybe it's related to this bug?

  • IPhone 2g mobile internet problem. Please help!

    Hi All,
    I need your help to clarify the situation.
    I am the user of iPHONE 8GB since October 2007.
    Most recently, I found my phone bills have mobile internet access fee which I did not use (I left my iphone at home during my travel from Jan 13 - Feb 5, 2009). I made several phone calls to Fido, Canadian cellular telephone service provider to understand the matter. They gave me different sets of story. Today, their representative said that might be caused by Apple by sending the data to update my iphone.
    Would somebody help me to understand the situation.
    Thanks,

    Maybe someone borrowed your iPhone while you were away. Why'd you leave it behind anyway? I thought the whole idea of having a mobile phone was to take it with you. Can your provider at least tell you where the calls originated from? I mean what sites were visited? If you are not Chinese and your provider can tell you that all the charges relate to visiting sites in Chinese, then that might give you a clue.
    As the proud owner of a new 3G phone for only a week I am pretty much of a virgin when it comes to iPhone problems. Haven't even got my first bill yet.
    In addition I have a wireless network in my home and unless I am actually making a phone call I don't even unlock the SIM. My router is always switched off whenever I am not at the computer so no-one can park their cars out the front and use it.

  • Aperture 3 & Mobile Gallery

    Anyone know why once you have created a Mobile me Gallery in Aperture 3 with a Gallery description then published to your gallery online, you can't change the description (not the title by the way) later. Well you can in Aperture but after you publish update/change it does not change the on online gallery.
    Any suggestions would be great, as this is very annoying.

    Apple did seem to drop the ball on this one. There is no way from within Aperture to add a watermark to an image set to Facebook, Flickr or MobileMe. This is a highly requested feature so add add your voice to the crowd requesting this by going to [Apple Aperture Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html]

  • Photo quality from Aperture to iDVD output problems

    What is the best option for burning a simple slideshow to a disc for viewing with a DVD player. I have tried several ways resulting in a disc that does play without problem but the quality of the photos is very poor, nothing even close to the preview in iDVD itself. My settings in Aperture is for high quality previews, I believe it is the previews that iDVD uses. I'm not sure of the correct settings for iDVD. Any suggestions or helpful links would be appreciated.

    As I just told another poster in the iDVD Forum:
    DVDs are LOW resolution devices by today's standards. An NTSC DVD image is 640x480 pixels (768x576 pixels PAL). This is about 0.3 megapixels!!
    If you want to make a HD format disc, a 854x480 image is squeezed into 640x480 when a DVD is made.
    When (and if) Blu-ray discs become readily available, things will get better.

  • Mobility settings problem

    Finally I managed to get my MacBook set-up and configured for network access and a user set-up as a mobility user.
    Everything works with one teasing problem: I can't change in "Users & Groups" the Mobile Account Settings for the user.
    Everything is greyed out.
    FYI: Do to a misunderstanding on my side I originally configured the mobility settings in profilemanager. They been pushed
    through succesfully.
    Then I was wondering why I can't get them changed as the mobnile user. Then I learned that the user can't change them
    if they are configured via profilemanager.
    O.K. so I deleted them in profilemanager, change was pushed through succesfully but I still can't change them as they are still greyed out.
    Where did I go wrong ?
    What can I do ?
    What I would love to have is that only the the docs, pictures and Music folders are been synced.
    Help/guidance is more then appreciated.

    Found the problem. No response necessary anymore.
    Thanks.
