Aperture, Gallery and iCloud

I currently have a Ton of picture galleries out on my Mobile Me account. Does anyone have a good suggestion with what to do with all those pictues with MobileMe going away ? I mow there are plug-ins for iPhoto to ublish to various other sites like Flickr etc but I don't sees the same level of support for Aperture 3,
Anyone ?
TIA
Peter

Peter,
Kirby already pointed out the intergrated Flickr and Facebook support - I do not use those.
I found this page by Roger Wilmuth very helpful;
Migrating from Mobile Me:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/migrate/frommobileme3.html
also Old Toad's Tutorial on how to patch iWeb to work after MoMe will be gone: iWeb will still work after MobileMe's demise; you'll only loose the web host. So look for anoter hosting service.
Modify the iWeb Application: http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html
I use Aperture's Smart Webpages to publish my Slideshows; these do not depend on MobileMe. You can publish your webpages to a folder on your disk. Then use FTP to upload the pages to any web host of your choice that offers FTP - I like to use Cyberduck for this.

Mobileme Gallery and iCloud

I have a Photo Gallery app on my ipad to access all albums on my iMac. With iCloud will I be able to access any album on my Mac on demand like I can now with Photo Gallery app?

                                SHALL I CRY?
I thought that Apple and I were kind of like long-time partners and that our relationship was strong and friendly. My MobileMe Account says Member Since: Jan 6, 2000. I believed that Apple respected me and would continue to make my life better. Apple has helped me to be creative and let me show to family, friends and colleagues who I was plus I could freely express myself to other members of a great Apple community around the world.
But now Apple has decided to shut down the creative works we have built together in my Gallery and on my webpages, using the tools and the support that Apple provided, without even considering its impact to me or to the Apple community as a whole. Then Apple faithful from all over kindly asked Apple to correct this obvious mistake with their postings within the Apple Communities, Facebook and other social media.
                              Apple didn’t reply.
Then Command Guru, an Italian software house specializing in Apple Apps, organized a petition and got more than 7500 Apple users from all around the world to raise the issue and identify the services that they didn’t want to lose. http://www.commandguru.com/blog/icloud_petition_1st_round
                      Apple didn't reply again.
I am all for change when change means progress. But I don't feel that flatly dropping long-term clients or kicking them in the face is positive change. No longer partner and supported, likeable and friendly Apple has become arrogant and that make me sad.
Apple has quickly become a huge company and young, arrogant MBA's are probably driving it forward. With Steve gone, I’m certain that Tim has had to make a very special effort just to keep that Apple spirit alive. The damage that has already been done to Apple’s image hasn’t even registered yet. It’s like a flashback to an earlier time, when Steve himself was driven from Apple by those who overlooked that spirit. Driven by greed, they never recognized that it was the spirit that made Apple so successful. Maybe it’s time for a refresher on
‘how to win friends and influence people’; the basics are all there.
                        Apple, save your spirit.

I'M NOT HAPPY THAT I SWITCHED TO ICLOUD THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE BETTER BUT THERE IS NO MORE GALLERY.
HOW CAN APPLE THINK THAT ICLOUD IS AN IMPROVEMENT TO MOBILE ME WHEN SO MANY OF US USED WITH SUCH EASE MY GALLERY???
I HOPE APPLE COMES UP WITH AN EASY SOLUTION REALLY SOON, EVEN IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
NOW I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO MOBILE ME.

We need to shout because Apple is not listening. I have been a loyal Apple fan for 25 years and now they just turn their backs on us. I would have been willing to pay twice the amount for Mobile Me. And I can't stand these people talking about all the wonderful alternatives and alternatives and alternatives. The very reason I came to Apple 25 years ago is now gone. I don't want to shop the marketplace, learn FTP (don't even care what it stands for and never needed to know). I just want to push that button and publish. Truth is, I am a retired tech person - one who fought with PC people my whole life and convinced many of them to switch to Apple. I am embarrassed now that the very reasons I got them to switch are being whittled away - and APPLE really don't have to do it. Now on TV and the net we see all these greedy vendors trying to sell you replacements to Apple. If they can make a profit, so can APPLE. I don't need ICLOUD. I want galleries, IDISK, IWEB. Without those, ICLOUD would only offer me SYNCED emails and I can use YAHOO mail for that. So now I have to find space somewhere and buy it and learn how to upload to it. I have to learn new web design tools that could also dissapear in a year or so. I have to figure out what to use in place of Gallery - and I don't want to make my family sign up to some service like snapfish just for the privelege of seeing my photos. I don't want them to have to pay to get a few photos. I read someone who was ENRAGED. I am right there with him. Apple is making a mistake - they make one back in the 80's as well. So now it's back to the wild wild west - a huge mess of products, vendors, procedures to replace one simple beautiful thing - Mobile Me. They are wrong. I am very hurt and upset. And all the time and energy I will spend because of their decision will probably weigh on my future purchases. I may still be here, but the excitement of buying all the latest products is gone.

Aperture and icloud

I am an Aperture user and realize that MobileMe and related galleries will go away soon. I've learned that journals publised via my iPad/iPhoto will publish in iCloud, much like galleries currently publish via MobileMe. Is there a way to publish in iCloud through Aperture. My SmugMug account is expiring and I prefer to go the iCloud/Aperture route for sharing journals, but can't duplicate the process I discovered with iPad/iPhoto. Any guidance or suggestions is appreciated.
Wm.

Roger,
Thank you fr the clarification. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations re how to handle gallery sharing going forward? Again, I am just trying to determine if there is an Apple solution before renewing my SmugMug subscription.
Thanks.
Wm.

Aperture and iCloud storage

Any idea how I can up,oad images from an Aperture library to iCloud storage? So far I've managed to get some photos to transfer by selecting jPegs and then dragging to the iCloud window. But, apart from being incredibly slow, all I get is a few (up to 20 out of 97) photos transferred. They aren't in any particular order (i.e. not consecutive and not starting with the first image in the set) and it's different images each time I try.
THanks
B

You're welcome!
It is not yet possible to store a photo library in iCloud. You can share photos (My Photo Steam or shared abums), but trying to put your aperture Library on iCloud Drive will damage it.
iCloud Drib´ve is very different from other cloud storage and that may be confusing. It is not an external storage, and it is not a backup medium.
See: iCloud Drive FAQ
It is meant as a central storage to keep all files updated across all devices. The recent problem with the iCloud servers may have contributed to your problem: Apple - Support - System Status

HT204414 How to import both iPhoto and Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library (Photos app)

Hi all,
Based on the article here (Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support) has anyone tried to bring both an iPhoto and Aperture library into iCloud Photo Library so that both libraries are available as one in iCloud and form the one Photos app library rather than being seen as separate libraries. I don't want the two separated as I have 200GB's of space in iCloud which is plenty to hold the two's collective space of about 40GB's.
It seems as though the procedure is pretty simple.
First of all set one of your libraries as the System Photo Library, this will happen naturally with setting up Photos app for the first time. I chose iPhoto as the original library.
Let this library upload all it's photo's to iCloud over a few minutes, hours, days etc.
When finished, enter your other library by closing Photos app and reopening while holding down the Option key (usually Alt). In this case I now opened the Aperture library that it had found.
Under Preferences > iCloud set this library as the System Photo Library and in turn it will have the ability to upload to iCloud.
When it's finished I suppose you will have both iPhoto AND Aperture pictures in the one iCloud Photo Library.
At least I hope the above makes sense.
Anybody already tried this with good / bad results, let us know here.

found it here - 'If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.'
That bit seems clear. You can merge photos from different libraries by making them 'designated' first .
BUT this means that Photos app only shows you library A , or library B, depending on which one you have opened , but Icloud library contains photos from Both library A and library B .
is this correct ?
and if so, does it not get a but confusing ?!?

I'm using aperture 3 and mobile me to set up galleries which I send to friends. My question. Will icloud allow me to do the same or will i lose this function when mobile me closes down in July.

I'm using aperture 3/mobile me to set up photo galleries which I send to friends. My question. Will icloud allow me to do the same or will I lose this function when mobile me closes down in July. If this function isn't part of icloud does anybody have any suggestions how I can do this in future through aperature. Thank you

You will have to find a new hosting service for your galleries, when MM is gone; but you will still be able to create the galleries with Aperture. Export them to your disk and upload them via FTP to your new hosting service.

If I choose the "To keep using your email" option now, will I continue to be able to access our family's MobileMe Gallery and Calendar until 6/30/12 (or will I immediately lose that ability as happened to two of our MM family after moving to iCloud)?

It's possible to access iCloud email in the Mail application on Snow Leopard, Leopard or Tiger by setting it up manually:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

Hi Urs
I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
I hope this info is a little help for you!!
Let me know if this works for you, ok?
Best regards,
Wolfgang

Aperture 3 and Mobile Me Gallaries

I'm using the trial version of Aperture 3 and tried to create a Mobile Me Gallery. I created the gallery within Aperture and published it. However it seems to be published to: http://homepage.mac.com/username. As a result it doesn't show up in in the Mobile Me Gallery which has the domain: http://gallery.me.com/username. Is there any way to publish a Web Gallery/Journal directly to Mobile Me? If one selects a single photo, or a group of photos, and clicks the Mobile Me icon in Aperture's toolbar, it publishes correctly to Mobile Me. My settings for Mobile Me is System preferences are correct. Any ideas?
Thanks

Since there have been no replies to my original question, I'm thinking this is just the way Aperture works. It's easy to select a group of images and click on the Mobile Me icon to create a Mobile Me gallery containing the selected images. However if you first create a Web Page or Web Journal, and drag images into it, chose a theme, add text etc, and publish to Mobile Me it publishes as a web page to your iDisk in the Sites folder, I think. The problem as I see it is that if you don't remember the URL, it's hard to display the web page, and as far I know, you can't display the web page using Mobile Me. I mistakenly thought the web page would show up as a link within my Mobile Me galleries or be displayed there along with other galleries. This is obviously not the case. Is there a way to integrate web pages created in Aperture with iWeb? Has anyone done this? Or is it easier to publish web pages to other hosting sites?

Can I make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb?

I need to know if I can make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb (not making it a quicktime movie)? I don't want to use I photo (I know how to make one in Iphoto and put it in Iweb and I dont want to do this). (dont want a .mac gallery either) Please help. thank you!!!

Aperture slide shows are just for review. They can not be output. TBMK
Honestly, you've exhausted most of what iLife can do, and quicktime will probably be your output even if you go to Keynote to make your slide show.
But with Keynote you'll have more control over how the Quicktime is compressed.
Otherwise, you're looking at the expense AND the learning curve of Flash.
Maybe someone else will chime in with a 3rd party solution.

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.

Aperture 3 and MobileMe/Web = Force Quit

I'm having some difficulties with my recent upgrade to Aperture 3 (via App Store). Aperture seems to have difficulty with any sort of web gallery. I can't even get to the web settings in Aperture's preferences window without having to force quit. As soon as Aperture loads it tries to sync MobileMe. It sits there for a while and then gives me an ( ! ) icon. If I click on the icon, the words MobileMe or one of the albums Aperture freezes and I have to force quit. I also have to force quit if I try to create a Facebook album.

Well here's the issue I am currently running into also. I have loaded several galleries to MM as I was trying to sell a truck and a car so I tried using the galleries as a link for my craigslist posting. First off the initial gallery worked just fine with the original 10 photos. But then when I tried to upload another 5-7 photos into the same gallery it was like it created a whole new gallery with the same name. Well I went back in and deleted the newly "doubled" gallery and it magically re-appeared but without any other photos. I then tried deleting that gallery and it went away and came back like Jason in Friday the 13th. I just couldn't kill it!! Then after attempting to delete any gallery they all came back but then on my MM gallery page I was getting blank boxes but still stating how many photos were in the gallery. I was able to click to go into the gallery but there were once again just blank boxes with no photos but at least the titles of each of the shots. Weird!

Aperture 3 and MobileMe are now solved?

I am still on with Aperture 2.1.4 and have just had trouble with creating a new MobileMe gallery again, as Aperture remarks after it has uploaded the previews and made the gallery - til there is all fine - it could not communicate with MobileMe. This comes further if I like to made some changes to the gallery within Aperture and try to sync them - nothing happens, only the error comes up. This bug is til I upgraded my system to SL and Aperture 2.1.4. Any idea? Does Aperture 3 still has this bug or is it solved?

Okay ... further to my original note ... has anyone seen this?
Using Aperture 3 and MobileMe ... do you need to create unique passwords for each album?
(that seemed to fix the generic password on multiple albums)
No I have not seen this kind of problem, and no you shouldn't need unique passwords for each album.
I have specific groups that I regularly share sets of albums with. When I create a new MobileMe album, I specify which group has access (or limit the access later via the Aperture-MobileMe album settings). I established the group name (and password) once. For subsequent albums I just specify that group. If I use the Tell A Friend... option to announce a new album, it will share the group/username and password.
IF I enable uploading additional photos via e-mail, that does create a unique/generic e-mail address for each album -- has to as you want any photos to upload to THAT album.
I know this answers your question, but quite likely does not provide a solution. If you can be more specific as to EXACTLY what steps you are taking I might be able to replicate your process and offer a specific solution. Hopefully the pieces I've offered may help you find a solution though?
Best wishes!

Lion, Gallery, iPhoto, iCloud -- iConfused!

Hello all. I just upgraded my desktop to Lion and thus now cannot access Gallery any longer (though I can on my iPhone. Don't ask why 'cause I don't know why.) Gallery was so easy. And now, I can't figure out how to provide friends with a link to my photos/videos. I don't want to email them 20-30 pics or a whole video. I'd rather just upload the pics and email a link. Is that possible now with Lion and iCloud?

Go to iPhoto > Preferences > Accounts and delete MobileMe. Delete it in System Preferences > MobileMe because it doesn't work
