Aperture, MobileMe and Syncing

I use MobileMe Galleries via Aperture a lot. Occasionally however, I will upload a gallery only to discover that I left out a photo or two. I will add the new photo to the gallery in Aperture and click the sync button, but it will start reloading the entire gallery all over again rather than the photos I just added. I feel certain that I'm missing something here. Is there a way to do that?

I found this thread because I just Googled this situation. I am waiting here (hours) for my MobileMe gallery to "sync" from Aperture because I just made a minor change to the gallery.
I've discovered that any minor change whatsoever to the gallery will cause Aperture to re-upload the entire album to MobileMe.
This is re-tarded. Apple, please fix this.

Calendar Syncing (MobileMe *AND* Sync iCal)

I normally sync my calendar through MobileMe. I 'accidentally' turned on 'sync iCal calendars' in the iPhone info tab on iTunes (v9). This duplicated all my appointments. I have turned it off in iTunes but the duplicate calendar remains on my iPhone. Is there a way to delete the 'On My iPhone' calendar?

I copy pasted from this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10418025&#10418025
"I figured it out. Basically you want to turn off your calendars on your iphone, inside settings, inside mail, calendars, email, and from there it's found by clicking on your me or mac.com mail account. Sync. Then turn it back on. It will ask you if you want to merge. You do. Then your extra calendars should disappear."
I had the same problem as you have (had) the method above did work for me.
Cheers,
Ivan

Moving iphoto's mobileme and facebook galley into Aperture 3

In iPhoto I have a lot of mobileme and facebook gallery that I update frequently.
I'd like to use Aperture3 also for this, but I'm unable to import these galleries.
I migrated all iphoto's library into Aperture, but on the left of Aperture mobileme and facebook galleries didn't appair...
can u help me please?

You are correct with your re-explanation
I typically have one album that I push all my family/snapshots too on Facebook, so in this case, I just deleted that album on Facebook, and restarted by creating in in Aperture, so now I am in sync. I have other albums already on Facebook that I will leave as is.
There was/is a Facebook plugin for Apeture I was using in Aperture 2:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/facebookexporterforaperture.html? cmp
I assume it will still work (32-bit only of course). It has not been updated in eons though, as you can see. This plugin simply pushed any selected photos up to Facebook, and allowed you to choose which album on Facebook. You then had the extra step of then going into your Photos section on your Facebook profile, selecting those photos, and "approving them to be published". Tedious. I actually like the Aperture 3 way better now (like in iPhoto before). The bummer of course is that you have to start from ground zero in terms of the synchronization

Syncing Aperture library between two computers using MobileMe and DropBox

I'd like to have my Aperture library automatically sync'd between my MacBookPro and iMac.
I have MobileMe and I'd ideally like to use it to sync, however I believe Aperture sees the library as a large single file, and so is not really practical to do this.
I believe DropBox does handle this better, but I only have the 2GB free version, and don't want to upgrade while I'm paying for MobileMe (which I use mainly for iPhone syncing).
So, I was wondering would keeping the RAW and JPEG images in my iDisk (outside the library) and using a library in my DropBox folder using referenced master files to the images seem like a workable solution?
I appreciate I need to only use one system at a time and make sure it's all sync'd before using the other computer or risk corruption.

Just curious - why do you think it would be slow?
With iDisk sync turned on the master images would be on the local hard drive, as would the library in the DropBox folder. Might have to use a symbolic link or mount to make the local hard disk iDisk folder appear in the exact same location on both machines, though maybe not even 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!

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!

I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices. If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

Can I get rid of one ID? How do I do that?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
Any experience doing this the "right" way?

Aperture 3 and Apple TV Photo Syncing

I have upgraded to Aperture 3.
Now when I try to sync photos to ATV through iTunes (9.0.3) I get error message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
I have opened Aperture preferences and have gone to previews and have allowed to share with iLife applications.
Still no results. Any suggestions? Anybody else having this problem?
Thanks

Finally figured it out.
Went to Aperture.
Changed away from current library and then back again.
That seemed to let iTunes pick up the trail leading to the library.

Aperture 3 and Flickr sync problems

Hi!
I started using Aperture 3 recently and made the mistake of authorizing Aperture to sync with Flickr. I hate it! Now I want to deauthorize it somehow but don't know where or how? I've read horror stories that all of my Flickr photos will be deleted from Flickr if I deauthorize, but none of my Flickr photos were uploaded from Aperture, they were already in Flickr and were automatically synced to Aperture once I authorized it. Now that I realize I've made a mistake I want to get out, but how?
TIA!
Debbie

I have been using the sync feature between my Aperture library and Facebook and Flickr for 6 months and I finally gave up on it yesterday.
As an example of what I usually go through, I uploaded 159 photos to my flickr account this past weekend, then added some captions/descriptions/tags etc. on flickr (was that a mistake?). Then Aperture promptly undid some my work at the next synchonization... I don't want photos on my stream named DSC_6788.jpg, etc. Thing is, Aperture undoes some of what I do on Flickr but not all. There's no rhyme, reason, or pattern to it. If I use Aperture to add tags (by entering keywords in the right field), even those partially disappear after the next sync.
Another maddening thing is that it makes the filename the caption on Facebook albums. I/e/. if, on Facebook, I added a desctiptive caption on a picture such as "Mommy and Daddy making out under the Eiffel Tower" (totally a made up example), then next time a synch happens, the caption would be "DSC_8646.jpg." Gee, thanks for the help, Aperture.
For 6 months I have lived in fear of opening up Aperture. Will the sync mess up what I've published online?
There should be option to not have Aperture override what you do on flickr (and Facebook). I am a strong believer in the "Publish and Forget" model for places like Flickr and Facebook, not the sync model.
For now, it's back to export to a folder and upload via the uploader.

Aperture 3 and Flickr syncing back and forth

I posted some pics to flickr using Aperture 3, and later added keywords, again using Aperture 3. I couldn't get the new keywords to sync up to my flickr page, something I'd been able to do previously. I hit the broadcast sync button, but it is not adding the new keywords (tags) to Flickr. How is the best and easiest way to sync the keywords in Aperture 3 to Flickr and vise versa from Flickr to Aperture? I would like it to keep syncing continuously also.
Thanks

I'd love an answer to this, as well.
Using Aperture's primary competitor, the Title of the image in the IPTC data mapped directly to Flickr's title, and the Caption to Flickr's caption. I can't tell what the disconnect is with Flickr-Aperture, but I'd like to know.
Anyone?

Sync MobileMe and iPhone to iCal?

Is it possible to have the iPhone and MobileMe only sync some of the calendars you have saved within iCal software, but not sync all of the calendars?

Sorry, I re-read this and realized that my explanation of the problem may not have been clear. (I need to get more sleep)
When I add a new event into iCal on my Mac it shows up at 1:45pm EST. When the event syncs via MobileMe it shows up as 6:45pm (18:45) on my iPhone and in MobileMe online. How can I get the events to shows up at the correct time (1:45pm) on my iPhone and online?
Thanks

TS3991 Does one have to have the latest version of iWork in order to access and sync Microsoft Office documents like I did with MobileMe?

Does one have to have the latest version of iWork in order to access and sync Microsoft Office documents like I did with MobileMe?

Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sterling

MobileMe and iOS 4- Syncing Has Stopped Working

Since "upgrading" to iOS 4, MobileMe Calendar Syncing has stopped working. This is the worst upgrade. Slow iPhone, spotty usability, and now MobileMe syncing isn't working.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any fixes. I've tried the usual. Push: On, MobileMe Sync: On, etc....

Like you, I ran into MobileMe synchronisation problems after I upgraded my iPhone’s software to iOS 4. I have an iMac running under Mac OS X version 10.6.4 and a 3G iPhone. I was able to solve the problem with the following “brute-force” (but very simple) sequence, which I also used after prior iPhone software updates and it has always worked for me. Note that it involves the removal of all contacts and calendars from the iPhone so if you are worried that you may not succeed in copying the data back, you may want to look for another solution.
(1) Make sure that MobileMe is synchronized with iCal and Address Book:
Open MobileMe Sync Preferences
Click on the “Sync Now” button
(2) Back-up the data in the iCal and Address Book applications (just in case):
File / Export / iCal Archive
File / Export / Address Book Archive
(3) To avoid erasing the data on the computer if something goes wrong:
Open MobileMe Sync Preferences
Select the “Sync” tab
Un-check “Synchronize with MobileMe”
(4) On the iPhone:
Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars
In the “Accounts” section, select the MobileMe account
Turn “Contacts” off
Select “Delete from My iPhone”
Turn “Calendars” off
Select “Delete from My iPhone”
(5) Check that all contacts and calendars have been deleted from the iPhone, then do:
Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars
In the “Accounts” section, select the MobileMe account
Turn “Contacts” on
Turn “Calendars” on
(6) Wait (it may take a while) until all contacts and calendars have been updated on the iPhone, then do:
Open MobileMe Sync Preferences
Select the “Sync” tab
Check “Synchronize with MobileMe”
After having done all this, changes made to contacts or calendars on the iMac or iPhone were properly synchronized with MobileMe. You may have tried something similar without success, but if you have not, hopefully the above will work for you too.

Syncing iPhone to both MobileMe *and* Mac w/ merged data

I'm almost sure I've gotten this working before, but for the life of me, I can't seem to figure it out now. I want to sync my contacts and calendar to both my MobileMe account and my computer (which also syncs to my MobileMe account) without having two sets of contacts and calendar items on my iPhone. I want to do this because most of the time I use my iPhone in an always-connected mode (via either 3G or WiFi), so sync from my iPhone to MobileMe for additions and changes works great (and syncs down to my Mac without having to connect my iPhone), but I also often travel internationally where my iPhone is offline for long periods of time, so sync via a cable to my Mac is the only way I sync up contacts and calendar. I don't want two completely separate sets of contacts and calendar items on my iPhone, I want them merged as one but still synced to both MobileMe and my Mac through iTunes.
Possible? If so, what are the steps to make it work?

If you do both, then it will give you two copies.
