Aperture, iPhoto, and MobileMe

I use Aperture on my iMac. My wife uses iPhoto on her iMac and doesn't have Aperture. She has published a mobileme album to a gallery we share on one mobileme account. Is there a way to sync the mobileme gallery with Aperture on my computer and iphoto on her computer or do I have to sync to iPhoto on both? I was only able to find a setting in MobileMe to choose either iPhoto or Aperture. Thanks in advance for any help.

You might want to take this to the Mobile me forum (if there is one) as it seems its not really related to Aperture itself but more to how Mobile operates.
good luck,
glenn

  • 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?

  • Iphoto and MobileMe - duplicate pictures, distorted...

    I posted this originally under MobileMe and have received no answers at all and it's more an iPhoto 11 issue I think.....
    I'm having trouble with iPhoto and my MobileMe gallery. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
    I upload photos to the MobileMe gallery from iPhoto 11. I just click on that share button in left corner. That goes fine.
    But when I to go my mobileme gallery there are duplicates and some of the duplicates are distorted (and when you open them they are sideways). It has something to do with the feature that automatically uploads to my MobileMe. Even when I'm not clicking on the "share" button when I open iPhoto I can see on the left side where is says "library" then "Albums" below that is "web" and it gets that little sort of sync symbol each time I open iPhoto.
    Once I close iPhoto, I go to MobileMe gallery and delete the duplicates and distorted photos and all is fine..... until I open iPhoto again then that sync symbol happens and it uploads the photos in that folder under "Web" (which is called Susan) and then I have the doubles and some distorted photos. Oddly when I look in the folder in iPhoto called "susan" under "web" in iphoto there are no duplicates or distorted photos. And it doesn't make duplicates of all of the photos in that "susan" folder under "web" in iphoto, just a few of them.
    Take a look at the gallery: http://gallery.me.com/pixiegirl#100025 The problem is in the "pixie, family, friends" album.
    In the top row, ""Cay and Ms Pix" is a duplicate and distorted. And the "Chris" pix is a duplicate. How do I make it so it stops update with the distorted pix every time I open iPhoto. And why since in iPhoto none of the pix are distorted or sideways are they distorted in MobileMe? If I delete the folder in iPhoto under "web" will it also delete the photos in MobileMe.
    I'd just like to understand what the heck is going on here.
    Very confused. Thanks for any ideas.
    Susan

    The rotated pictures usually occur with portrait photos that come from cameras with the auto rotate feature. I've not see landscape photos do that.
    Export those two from the top row to the desktop as full size, max quality jpegs and open them in in Safari. Safari does not read the tag which tells applications how to display the photo. If the photos are OK in Safari then you can import them into iPhoto and use them to replace the original two.
    As for the duplicates, I don't know. Here are some fixes you can try:
    Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.
    Click to view full size
    Then launch iPhoto and republish the gallery.
    I noticed that may of the photos are of low resolution when enlarged. Are you aware of that?

  • 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!

  • Disable iPhoto and Mobileme synchronization

    How can I stop iPhoto synchronizing with mobileme? I have iPhoto 8.1.1.
    I have used mobileme for a while but have only recently started to use iPhoto because I wanted to create a few books. Every time I start iPhoto it tries to resume downloading my old mobileme galleries (the photos in iPhoto have a "pending" status) and I do not want to do this. I don't even want to see my mobileme galleries in iPhoto. It even downloads galleries which I recently published using iPhoto and creates new events (my mobileme galleries are not necessarily the same name as my events) as it does so but those are duplicate events.

    Have you got a solution to this problem, i am having this issue, and can't get a way to turn it off.

  • Iphoto and mobileme

    I've noticed that in iphoto my mobileme albums that sync with my albums on mobileme have disappeared. The albums are still on the web at my mobileme account and the preferences are checked to sync with iphoto, but still aren't there.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Are the photos still in your library?  Where is this "other folder"?  Are you referring to an Event? When MMe went away and one upgraded iPhoto to the newer version the MMe/Web section was removed and replace by the iCloud section.  No photos that have been inported into iPhoto previously were deleted from the library.

  • Locked disk on iPhoto and MobileMe account???

    I just updated my MacBook pro from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I was trying to import some photos to iPhoto 09 and it froze for about 5 minutes. I forced a quit on it but when I tried to reopen it I'd get a message saying that the disk is locked and I don't have permission to access or change it. I then went to my iDisk and it said to make sure I was logged into my MobileMe account. Problem is I don't know of I even actually have one! I'm confused! Any tips on how to get iphoto 09 back up would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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?

  • Aperture 3 and mobileme gallery

    I hope this makes sense to someone!
    I purchased aperture 3, imported my iphoto pictures and then started to upload my newest photos into mobileme through the mobileme gallery button. It has created the albums and uploaded them (I can see them in the aperture side bar), but it has created a new gallery folder on my mobile me space rather than popping them into a folder already set up that is the one my iweb is using. So when I log into iweb I cannot see the newest albums. So, after all that, my question is: how do I get aperture to upload the new albums into my existing iweb linked gallery? Or how do I merge the two?
    Phew!!!
    many thanks

    Drop them on the desktop then upload directly from the MoMe Album.

  • Aperture, iPhoto and now Mail refusing to open!

    What forum do I post this multi-app problem in !!!!! ?????
    Yesterday I tried to open Aperture for the first time in many weeks but received the well known message that there was a problem.
    I googled for info and discovered this was a long-standing problem possibly caused by installing Final Cut Express 4 (which I had done last week) and the only cure was to erase and reinstall the OS.
    I also discovered iPhoto wouldn't open either, presumably for the same reason.
    This morning on launching my iMac I was greeted with a message saying that Mail too would not open.
    As mentioned above, I installed FCE 4 last week but I also updated from OS X 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 a couple of days ago.
    I can understand Aperture and iPhoto being knocked out by installing FCE but Mail was working perfectly  last night when I switched off my Core 2 Duo iMac.
    Any explanations would be appreciated.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Aperture 3 and MobileMe

    Hello,
    I bought AP2 and upgraded towards AP3 (AP3.0.3 now - other information : french). During this time I just stored my photos. I've just created a web page with the "Publish to Mobile Me ..." button. The dialog box says that my page will be published at this web address : http://homepage.mac.com/..... . It is not a MobileMe address but a old .Mac address. I had a .Mac account and I have now a MobileMe account.
    Do you know anything about this problem ?
    Thank you for you help

    I figured it out!!
    If you publish a web page with images from within Aperture it will publish to http://homepage.mac.com/username/
    This URL is Old. (??) Anyway, the published file/photos may be found in iDisk/Sites. I moved the folder to iDisk/web

  • IPhoto and MobileMe gallery

    Since switching from MobileMe to iCloud I am unable to add a new album to my MobileMe gallery. If I do add a new album it is removed almost immediately.
    I am also unable to 'share' it from MobileMe gallery before it is removed automatically almost immediately it is put on.
    Could anybody explain why and how to fix this problem.

    I would like to add to this thread.  Same problems with updating to the iPhoto 11 and the "cloud".  The photo's taken on my iPhone are displaying in my "Photo Stream", I add the photo's I want from the Photo stream to my iPhoto library stored locally, and then publish the album to mobile me.
    Problem is, as soon as the seldected photo's are published to mobile me I go to the "web" pane on iPhoto in order to send an email to my friends that a new album is posted.  As soon as I select "web" on the right hand selection pane in iPhoto 11, I receive the following:
    iPhoto displays "The published album has been removed from Mobile me". 
    The album is saved from photo stream to my iPhoto album, but the selected photo's will not publish to mobile me.  This is a problem with apples new Lion OS and iPhoto 11.  One more example of how Apple has rolled out new products that are not ready.  I moved from PC to Mac 10 years ago because of this same problem with PC software, now Apple has lost its way and is putting new software on the market that just doesn't work and I suspect the OS will become irrelevant agian if the company doesn't focus on what drew customers to their platform.  So disappointed with Apple again...its becoming very common.

  • IPhoto Albums and MobileMe Albums - Synchronization (Sync)

    I am very interested in how the iPhoto and MobileMe operate together.
    I like that if I publish an album to MobileMe, those photos are then kept in sync with that MobileMe album and vice versa. If a change is made to the photo in iPhoto, the same change takes place in MobileMe. If a change is made in MobileMe, that change is pushed to the copy in iPhoto. I like this!
    But here is something I would like that I am having trouble accomplishing.
    I want to create an iPhoto album (smart or otherwise) and publish it to MobileMe. I would then like any photos ADDED to that album to also be published the same MobileMe album. Can this be done?
    Ideally, any photos also posted directly to the MobileMe album would be pushed back to the iPhoto album as well.

    No. Instead of adding the photo to the album just drag it into the MMe gallery and it will update the online gallery.
