Aperture and sorting MobileMe Galleries

Problem solved.

I have the same problem and so far no answer from Apple. It seems that it is a known Aperture "feature".

Aperture not displaying MobileMe Galleries

I have a half-dozen MobileMe galleries that I am using to allow clients to view image proofs. They are password-protected and hidden from my Gallery page.
When I opened Aperture this morning, it does not show the MobileMe item in the project pane. None of the galleries are visible. I tried creating a new gallery with a single image, and I was able to publish it. The MobileMe item appeared in the project pane as usual. I quit Aperture, and when I re-opened it, the MobileMe item is again not displayed.
When I try to access any of the galleries directly via Safari, but with Aperture open, I get a message that says, "This page is currently being published. Please try again in a moment." I quit Aperture, and then I can access the galleries as usual.
The only change to my system recently was that I upgraded to OS X 10.5.7 on Friday, and I haven't opened Aperture since the upgrade.

Let me emphasize that I have not experienced this issue. I suspect that rebuilding the Aperture Library might be of benefit -- try rebuilding the Aperture library. Launch Aperture and hold down the Command and Option keys until the Rebuild Library dialog appears.

IWeb and .Mac (MobileMe) Galleries

Went to add some iWeb pages with links to a few of my .Mac (or now MobileMe) Galleries. However, when I go to the "Insert" menu and select .Mac Web Gallery I'm informed that "No albums or movies are available." Now I know for certain I have 5 Web Galleries (you can even see them at gallery.me.com/noraa). Is iWeb not seeing these galleries because of the transition to MobileMe. Is anyone else having a similar problem. Thanks for all you're help!
P.S. I am properly logged into MobileMe in the System Preferences and can access my iDisk via the Finder, sync items, access my email, etc.

Sorry - did not help. The only effect was, that my website was lost and a new blank website came up.
But it is more clear that it seems to be a bug in iWeb:
Only web-albums appear in iWeb that are created and fed by iPhoto.
But mine are fed by Aperture!
There were two albums left which were connected to iPhoto. I went to mobileMe web interface and got "info" for the two albums which were still connected to iPhoto and changed this to Aperture.
The result is: no album is left to show up in iWeb as a "MobileMe web gallery" to be inserted as a widget.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

Relinking MobileMe Galleries to Aperture

I recently rebuilt my Aperture DB and noticed that once back all my MobileMe galleries weren't showing up on the left sidebar. I went into the MobileMe preferences in Aperture and they are all listed there. Does anyone have a solution for re-referencing (or reconnecting) MobileMe galleries to the sidebar? Without this they are sort of useless for me, just sitting out there on the web.
BTW, I did try creating a new gallery to see if that would somehow magically force them all to be referenced. It instead will only show that new gallery.
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same question. I initially used iPhoto to create and manage my stuff, along with mobileme galleries. I want to switch to Aperture, but I do not know how to gain control of existing mobileme galleries through Aperture. I don't really want to recreate them all.
Can someone answer this for us?

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

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.

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.

Aperture 3 and iPhoto web galleries...

Hi Folks,
I have used iPhoto and want to shift to Aperture 3. I have the 30day trial installed and have imported my iPhoto library successfully. iPhoto events, photos and albums are shown in Aperture Projects but I cannot see MobileMe or Facebook albums that were uploaded and displayed in iPhoto.
How am I able to import these web galleries into Aperture 3?
Martin Fuggle

I figured out the mobile me galleries but not FaceBook.
First you need to create at least one new MobileMe gallery from within Aperture.
Go to the MobileMe galleries in Safari. Click on the "adjust settings" tab and it will ask which app you want to sync with. Obviously, select aperture and hit publish. You need to do this for ALL the albums individually.
Done right? I thought so.
I opened Aperture and the albums were still not in there. Go to Aperture preferences and to "Web" there you click on something to the effect of check for new published items. Click to check now.
Voila.
If you figure out the facebook albums let me know. I am guessing those are not possible to do.

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.
