Aperture moving mobileme albums, won't stop, won't quit ! I have these images on HD

Aperture 3.2.4
I have a progress bar which tells me 'Moving MobileMe alums ...'
I can't stop it (no x button ) I can't quit the app.
I can't use the app & I have the images on my hard drive.
I did ot initiate this action it's just taken over
I'm really annoyed.
Any thoughts
D

Relaunch Aperture, and click on the Learn Moe link -- ignore the resulting web page. The go into Aperture Preferences/Web and remove any reference to MobileMe account info. Then in System Preferences log out of MobileMe.

HT5132 If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

To William Lloyds recommendation I have to add the following: I tried to implement the suggestion and thus to have the Mobileme-account closed to avoid the lenghty process mentioned, however, I am given to understand that if one choose to have the account closed, ALL of the galleries/albums etc, so far hosted within Mobileme will ALSO be deleted within APERTURE!! And that is not exactly what I want, in as much as I am intending to move everything (Galleries etc) to Smugmug...any suggestions as to eliminate the migration suggeted within Aperture?

Aperture stuck "moving MobileMe albums"

Aperture 3.3.1 running on a 27 inch iMac with OS 10.7.4
I did have a subscription to MobileMe but as we all know, that service isn't offered any more.
Now when I open Aperture, I get an automatic popup telling me that MobileMe isn't available any more and that Aperture will move my albums from MobileMe to preserve them.
Then Aperture gets stuck moving these albums...
Trouble is, I don't have any albums on MobileMe (I deleted them all before the service closed).
So my Aperture just sits there, frozen on "moving MobileMe albums".
HELP!!!!!
I need to work and can't without my Aperture behaving itself and not just sitting there, stuck.
Any suggestions, guys???

Quit or Force quit Aperture, if necessary. Then relaunch.
When the "MobileME" pop-up appears, press the "learn More" button, not the "o.k." button.
In the Aperture preferences open the "We" pane and in the "Accounts" tab remove "Mobile Me".
If this does not work, disconnect your internet (disable WI-fi, unplug the ethernet cable) before you relaunch Aperture.
Then log from Mobile Me in the System Preferences, like mende1 said.
Good luck.

Moving MobileMe albums

Now that MobileMe (MM) is no longer in use, I keep getting a "Moving MobileMe albums..." information box whenever i open iPhoto. This is after a dialogue box that informs me the MM is no longer available. There is nothing I can do but accept that I would like to continue after this dialogue box.
The screen will now just sit like this in iPhoto and just hang there. There is no message saying that iPhoto is not responding and no "beach ball". This locks up my iPhoto and there is nothing I know how to do to get past this.
Any assistance/ advice would be great. How can I get to use my iPhoto once again?

Quit (or force quit) iPhoto, if it is still hanging.
When the " MM is no longer available" dialog box appears, select "Learn More", and not o.k.
Open the iPhoto Preferences, select the "Accounts" tab, and remove the "MM" account.
If this is not possible, disconnect from the Internet (turn of Wi-fi or unplug the ethernet), before you launch iPhoto again, then delete the MM account from the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab.
After this, open the System Preferences, MobileMe panel and sign out of MobileMe.

MobileMe album won't show no page?

I have tried setting up a page for photos and when I drag my "MobileMe album" icon to the site it does not give me the option to choose a album, what am I doing wrong? Am I needing to link something?
Thanks,
Christopher

Are you saying the drop down menu in the widget to select the album is grayed out? I'm getting that also. This is what fixed it for me.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - launch iWeb.
4 - go to the page with the MMe Gallery widget, delete it and add a new one.

IWeb 08 / Aperture 2 / MobileMe albums "No albums or movies available"

I've searched the forums and there doesn't seem to be a resolution for this. It seems the issue has been known about for quite some time now; hard to believe Apple is just ignoring this.
basics:
I created MobileMe albums via Aperture 2. I open iWeb '08 and go to insert the album and get this message: "No albums or movies available"; this message also appears via the Widget add. The albums are NOT password protected.

Well I have found a work around... Though others need to test it as well as me.
Log into me.com and open the gallery you prepared in aperture.
Select the "Adjust the settings for this album" button at the top, then select the pop-up that says "Syncs with" and choose "iPhoto" instead of "Aperture".
Press "Publish".
That's it, the gallery now appears in the iWeb Widgets list!
Also it still syncs with Aperture, both way

Every time I launch iPhoto I get a "Moving MobileMe albums..." message

And a never ending wheel spin - program frozen. Relaunching, rebooting and repairing the database have not helped. All software is current. I have a 2010 iMac. All help greaty appreciated! Be more than happy to just delete the MobileMe albums.

(Force) Quit iPhoto, then relaunch.
When you see the "Mobile Me" panel, press the "learn more" button, not the "o.k." button.
In iPhoto open the Preferences, "Accounts" tab, and delete the Mobile Me Account.
Then go to the System Preferences - Mobile Me Tab- and sign out of Mobile Me or press the "Visit me-com" button to go to your galleries and delete or download the albums.

Aperture - iWeb - MobileMe... WORKFLOWS WANTED!

I come seeking advice, and hoping this online essay will spark some discussion on the much-needed integration of Apple-apps online photo sharing and display capabilities -- and I promise to keep the rants to a minimum...
*What I'm trying to do:*
Create a series of Aperture-published (or at least Aperture-based, since that's where my pictures reside) photo pages, pages on which visitors can...
1) Quickly peruse the thumbs (with column&row arrangement, sizing, and framing options all determined by me), while also reading some descriptive text I've provided re the overall event being showcased;
2) View individual shots at a modest but adjustable display size in Slideshow mode (with transition options I've set), and simultaneously see the associated Caption, Date and whatever other Aperture-stored metadata I've chosen to be displayed for that set of images; and then, if they so desire...
3) Download selected images at their original, FULL-pixel dimensions (assuming I've set the page to allow that).
4) PLUS, I want to have each of these individual pages indexed on an iWeb "Album Page", which allows for the contents of each individual photo page to be mouse-skimmed before actually clicking and going to that page.
*An Impossible Dream?*
Not really. Everything I've just described is relatively easy to do -- but only in bits and pieces, it appears -- using Aperture, Aperture-published MobileMe Albums (aka Galleries) and Aperture-published Web Pages, iWeb '09, iWeb's Media Browser, and a MobileMe account. So now I find myself playing Dr. Frankenstein (that's "Fronkensteen"), and trying to stitch together a new form of photographic life online.
In other words, I'm just trying to create the kind of truly functional and flexible photo pages which SHOULD be a no-brainer by now, since all the features I'm imagining already exist! (Then again, I shouldn't ask for too much -- I mean it's not like Aperture, iWeb, and the MobileMe service are all from the same company, right?)
*In OTHER other words...*
I want to publish Gallery-esque pages from Aperture, but ones which automatically include and display whatever combination of Caption, Title, Date, or any other Metadata I select. And ones which can be INDIVIDUALLY indexed on an iWeb Album Page, as opposed to simply dragging in iWeb's MobileMe widget (which so far as I can tell just gives you a single link to ALL your Galleries in one quick but inelegant whack).
OR...
I want to publish Aperture Web Pages, but ones which aren't given a ludicrous "homepage.mac" URL (cripes, how old is THAT code?), and which can be easily seen by iWeb once published, so they can then be dragged into iWeb Album pages for convenient indexing and one-stop skimability by the user. (Also, pages for which Aperture has some sort of "Settings / Visit Page / Announce Site" pull-down button as it does for every MobileMe Gallery -- that's just being consistent.)
OR...
I want iWeb's Media Browser to let me select and drag into iWeb the contents of specific Aperture Projects and/or Albums, but with all Caption, Date, and other metadata for the selected images included, AND (if I so choose) at their FULL resolution -- rather than only at their currently-designated Preview size, which is now the case.
*Whichever way you describe it...*
I'm not really asking for anything all that new, just for some long-overdue integration between the already-existing photo-publishing abilities of Aperture, iWeb, and MobileMe. But before I start submitting more pages of "isn't this obvious?" input to their respective Feedback sites, I'd love to get anyone's thoughts, reactions, or best of all, suggestions as to how to at least partially achieve, the kind of Aperture-based photo publishing & sharing sites I'm still hoping to create.
Many thanks (if only for reading this far!),

Many thanks to both David and Bob for the above posts -- it's just nice to know I'm not alone in this frustration.
Sometimes I desperately wish Apple would appoint a CAO (Cross-Application Ombudsman), a "Minister for Inter-Application Affairs", someone whose only job was to track the functions and features in different Apple apps, to correlate that understanding with relevant user input from a dedicated AppleWorkflows Feedback page, and whose mandate was to then:
a) make sure that the interface of each app behaved in a consistent and predictable manner (so that, for example, Option-clicking a disclosure triangle in a Viewer window list of video filters in FinalCut had the same functionality as Option-clicking a disclosure triangle in a Finder window list of folders and sub-folders -- which it currently DOES NOT);
and
b) - most importantly - make sure the individual apps talked to each fluently and interacted in logical, productive ways (the subject of this thread being a prime example of where that's NOT happening).
This person would have the authority to force the programmers working on different apps to actually talk to each other BEFORE new versions get released; to imagine intelligent, creative ways in which the different apps should interact-- and then require the programmers to implement those scenarios. Essentially, the CAO's only reason for coming to work each day would be to oversee the conception, development and implementation of cross-app workflows which benefit and free up (rather than block and frustrate) the multi-Apple-apps user.
The key is that this person (or persons) would have to be given some real power -- not just to recommend, but in many cases to actually require. (For instance, this person would long ago have required the Aperture team to release a free update which no longer published anything to a "homepage.mac" URL. All together now: "Duh".)
And, as mentioned above, they would have their own separate and well-publicized AppleWorkflows Feedback Page (plus a dedicated public discussion forum as well?), to which users would be actively encouraged to submit their ideas on Inter-App problems and possibilities.
Call me crazy -- but that's my dream, and I ain't givin' it up.

HT5132 I've already dealt with my MobileMe Albums, and now Aperture 3.3.1 is stuck on moving them -- 28 hours and counting. How do I stop it?

I've already dealt with my MobileMe Albums, and now Aperture 3.3.1 is stuck on moving them -- 28 hours and counting. How do I stop it?

Quit Aperture
Then disconnect from internet (WiFi, Ethernet, etc.)
Launch Aperture again.
In the Aperture Preferences Web Tab remove MobileMe.
After that you can connect again to to the Internet.
Probably the "Quit" button does not work. Then try to quit using the Terminal to avoid "Force Quit":
Launch the Terminal (from Applications > Utilities) and enter
killalll Aperture
If this does not work, use "Force Quit".
See here why to avoid force quitting:

How do I get rid of empty MobileMe albums that Aperture 3.4.5 won't let me delete?

I'm running Aperture 3.4.5 in OS X 10.8.4. I dumped my MobileMe Galleries when I switched to iCloud last year. But I just noticed that Aperture still shows icons for MobileMe albums in my Projects list, even though they are empty and aren't linked to any web account (they don't appear in the "Preferences: Web: Accounts" list). When I select one of them and choose "File: Delete MobileMe album," the album's web broadcast icon changes to a warning sign. But there's no explanation of what the warning means. AND the album remains in the Projects list. How can I get rid of these ghosts?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Photoshop elements 11 albums won't sync

Photoshop Elements 11 albums won't sync with ipad using iTunes.
I was using PE10 and synced my albums using iTunes to my iPad 3 iOS 6.0 and 5.1 just fine. (itunes 10.7.0.21) I upgraded to PE11 and it goes into perpetual sync when albums are selected. I deleted some albums and added test albums in PE11 and those changes are not reflected in iTunes.
I worked with Apple Care for about 2 hours uninstalling all of the Apple software (iTunes, etc) and reinstalling. That did not fix it. Apple declared it an Adobe problem and suggested I call them.
I worked with Adobe about 45 minutes before they declared it an iTunes problem.
Any ideas out there?

I solved the mystery. It had to do with the file metadata in the Photoshop Elements catalog. When I moved the catalog (pictures) from my old machine to the new machine, the path (folder location) of the images changed. So, although the catalog had cached thumbnails of the photos to display in Photoshop Elements (which tricked me into thinking that the path to the images was correct), the paths were actually wrong. All I had to do was “reconnect” the missing images (a feature in Photoshop Elements which corrects missing/wrong paths to images) and now everything works correctly (sync in iTunes).

How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

One album won't play on my iPhone 4S

One album won't play on my iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.3. If select a song and click Play it flashes through the whole album with the play/pause button switching back and forth between play and pause - as though it played the whole album but all the songs were zero length.
I deleted all the songs in the album then re-synced from iTunes - same problem.
The tracks are Apple Lossless (ALAC) as are most of my tracks.
They were ripped from CD as FLAC and converted to ALAC using XLD - the same as with many of my CDs all of which play fine.
All the tracks on the album play OK in iTunes and if I connect my phone to PhoneView I can play the files on the phone so the music files themselves are OK.
Also, most importantly, these tracks used to play fine
Looking at the music file dates in the iTunes library they were imported in August this year so would have been under iOS6. I can't remember when they stopped playing (I tend to use Shuffle most of the time) but could it be related to the iOS7 u/g, even though it doesn't seem to affect any other album?
I've found quite a few threads about non-playing music but none of them are exactly this problem.

GAJF wrote:
I have this issue as well and I am already on iOS 7.0.4.
Appears to be only on the apple lossless tracks added mid november via Itunes sync.
Please help.
I too u/g to 7.0.4 but the problem persisted. I even did a factory reset and restore of my iPhone without success.
I then grabbed a copy of Max and re-converted the FLACs, deleted the album from iTunes and my phone, re-imported the new ALACs et voilà problem solved.
So it seems that it was something to do with the version of XLD I used and playing the resulting ALACs on iOS7 (although the album definitely played a couple of times under iOS6).
The only reason I rip to FLAC then convert to ALAC is that the rMBP doesn't have an optical drive and the only one I have is in a Linux box but I don't think there are any Linux rippers that rip to ALAC.
If Max had failed, the last resort would have been to try and borrow a USB optical drive and rip with iTunes.

Certain albums won't play on Iphone but still play perfectly fine in Itunes

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS5, certain albums won't play. They work perfectly fine in Itunes on my imac and the still appear in my library on the Iphone, but it won't start playing. The strange thing is, they are all albums from this year. All the rest is working properly.
Allready tried importing the whole library again but that was a waste of time.

Having the same problem with only a few albums.
Any news on this issue?

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
