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.

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?

IWeb 09 issue with displaying MobileMe Galleries in Weblog

Hello everyone,
I searched but did not see this exact issue. I upgraded to iLife 09 this week and my site from iWeb 08 opened successfully in iWeb 09 (although everything was Red). After adding 3 new blog entries, I decided to publish today. At first, the publish entire site errored out with the progress circle half way. I simply tried again and it finally completed the publish entire site.
I checked my website on-line on a Mac using Safari, and on Windows using I.E. and Safari, and have the same problem on all three.
All of my weblog entries that contain a MobileMe Gallery (both photos and videos) are fine in iWeb just as they were before the upgrade. However, when I view the weblog on line, the Web Galleries do not show up on any of the blog entries. There is just a blank space where they used to be.
I also checked my actual Web Gallery on both Mac and Windows and can view content on both. I repaired permissions before my publish and I have noticed one item since I upgraded to 10.5.6 this week (also). I get a permission error related to "Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeMediaBrowser.Framework" that does not appear to get repaired because it shows up every time I repair permissions. I also get another unrepaired permission related to "CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle" but I don't think that is related to this issue.
I have always received excellent help on this forum when encountering an issue and am hoping there is one for this issue. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Having read many of the comments here on this forum, I feel fortunate that my issues were not worse. Here is the URL of a weblog entry that should have 4 MobileMe Galleries at the bottom:

Your URL contains apostrophe character, iweb javascript code had been changed in web09.
It converts special character in your URL path to UTF escape codes and lost in translation when try to use it.
You galleries are there in the widget mark files, but iweb javascript can not read its own (LOL!) widget markup URL:
http://web.me.com/sabretado/sabretado/Weblog/Entries/2009/2/../../../../Weblog/E ntries/2009/2/19Monterey_Bay_Aquarium_and_Fisherman%E2%80%99s_Wharf_files/widget2markup.html
notice the %E2%80%99, that's UTF character.
Try to remove the apostrophe character from your page name and give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

Aperture Not Displaying Altitude Metadata from Camera

My camera records GPS data including Lat, Long and Altitude. When I import my images into Aperture 3.5.1, the metadata shows the Lat and Long information but Altitude shows up as 0m.
I know for sure that my camera is recording the altitude information because when I use the OEM software supplied with the camera I can see the altitude data in the JPEG file.
It also appears that when I import photos into Aperture with GPS data it seems to strip the altitude metadata from the file.
I saw a similar question asked previously: Is this a bug in Aperture that it will not read/accept Altitude metadata from certain cameras?

Is the altitude stired in the EXIF tags?
When I import image files with EXIF tags for GPS, I will see in Aperture all tags, that are also visible in Preview. For example, in Preview:
And after importing into Aperture:
I have never seen Aperture stripping EXIF data from the original image files, only not displaying EXIF tags, that are camera specific. But the EXIF tag "Altitude" is always displayed correctly in my library, if it is set. I suspect, that your camera is using a different tag, so the camera software understands it. So, as a test, check, if Preview can show this tag.

Firefox does not display MobileMe pages correctly. Is this something you are working on fixing?

Mac OS 10.5.8 Mac Book Pro,
Side bar in mail scroll bars are missing and bar will not expand fully. Clicking on an email does not display it on the same page, it requires double clicking and opens in a new page.
Side bar in Gallery also not expanding. Other problems with diplay in Contacts, Calender, etc.

Did you use the same [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] for the test with 3.6.x and 4.0 ?
Looks like a problem with JavaScript (Ajax).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If you the Firefox 4 beta version with the same profile then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Is there a workaround for Aperture not displaying changes made in CS6?

Previous versions of Aperture would sometimes not correctly display edits made in Photoshop CS5, but re-sizing the Aperture window was a workaround. Currently, I am experiencing the same problem, but now with CS6, and the wordaround no longer works. I would appreciate any help with this problem.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

Leonie -
The workflow I use for my best images is to open the RAW file in Photoshop and edit it in ACR and CS6, and then import it into Aperture. I tried changing the extention, but this did not fix the problem. Here is what image looks like in Aperture. There are supposed to be 2 top eagles, but the bottom eagle was moved and resulted in both images showing. The image looks like it is supposed to in CS6.
Thanks -

Menu bar, finder and aperture not displaying correctly. Reinstall doesn't help, can't upgrade to 10.8

Hi. Immensely frustrated. A few weeks ago, I don't know what happened, I started experiencing all sorts of problems. These are:
The upper right side menu bar doesn't display all the icons, they're there but invisible
Aperture isn't displaying images, instead I get weird digital patterns (see screen capture)
Finder window lost its icons too. Again, they work, but are invisible.
frequent crashes
can't upgrade to mountain lion, I get an error that the file was corrupted during dowload (have tried several times)
Command-R doesn't work
Reinstall from startup disk didn't change anything
I'm running 10.7 on an iMac 27
What can I do?

No, I wish that was the issue. I've attached another screenshot for further clarity.

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".

Extinction of MobileMe Galleries...any way to NOT move them to Aperture?

As with many (former) mobileMe users, I've received the usual automated warnings about the end of mobileMe services and already prepared for the transition by making alternative arrangements for sharing pictures.
My master images, as well as the specific group selections of pictures used for my former mobileMe galleries are alive and well in at least one if not several places (multiple backups), and so I have neither the need nor the desire nor the room on my hard drive to waste on downloading my mobileMe galleries back to any of my machines.
Is there any way to STOP Aperture from doing this? I'd like my application back, ThankYouVeryMuch. I can brute force things by turning off AirPort, but that's ridiculous. Whatever happened to letting users, you know, remain in charge of their applications and files?!?

In both iPhoto and Aperture I went into preferences and deleted my MM accounts then emptied the trash of the versions. Haven't had the pop up notifications since.

Aperture will not sync or create new MobileMe galleries.

I've updated to Aperture 2.1.2. I have MobileMe galleries that I've created previously but when I try to add new images to them and update them, a window appears telling me to sign in to MobileMe. It then takes me to System Preferences to enter my MobileMe credentials. I'm already logged in and my account is fine. But Aperture seems to not recognize that fact.
I've tried to sign out and back in to MobileMe in the system preferences but it makes no difference to Aperture. It appears I can no longer update, sync, or create new MobileMe albums from Aperture.

Echo that
A Mavericks / Outlook 2011 problem - all our workstations using on 10.9.3 wont connect Exchange. All was fine until today. So far, no obvious fix.
older machines running snow leopard etc not effected.
Mail works fine on all of them but not everyone likes mail...
Any ideas?

Disappearing MobileMe galleries in Aperture library

I created several MobileMe galleries over the past few days, and was successful in publishing them (although this took a couple of tries). Last night I added a few more photos to one of the galleries and tried to resync. After a couple of minutes, it looked like the process was hanging. Before I could cancel it, however, my entire screen turned gray and displayed a message that said I would have to perform a hard restart. (It's the first time I've ever seen that screen in several years of using a Mac.)
After I restarted, Spotlight reindexed my hard drive. When I opened aperture, my library seemed intact except for the MobileMe galleries. They were completely gone. They're not gone from the MobileMe servers: I can still view those photos online, but they aren't in my Aperture library, and I'm unsure how to relink them. Does anyone know if this is possible, or should I just start over?

I haven't experienced anything like you describe, but there is definitely some bugginess with A3 and MM.
One user suggested checking for published photos in A3's MM preferences to get previous galleries back in the list. DON'T DO IT!
!http://dlsphoto.com/a3MM4.jpg!
When I tried it, the images seemed to be downloading not syncing. When it was done, all my previous galleries were in the list but empty, and "visit gallery" grayed out.
!http://dlsphoto.com/a3MM2.jpg!
If I go to Settings and click publish I get an error that won't go away no matter how many times I click OK. It just pops right back up, and I have to force quit to get out of it.
!http://dlsphoto.com/a3MM3.jpg!
This isn't an answer but a confirmation of problems with A3 and MM.

IWeb not finding my MobileMe Galleries

I've just found the MobileMe Gallery widget and wanted to play around with it to see what exactly it does and what it looks like. I've made a new blank page to try it out and dragged the widget onto the page, but the little floating box says "(No albums or movies)" in the Display option, and the the box on the page says, "Upload an album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu."
I clicked the "Learn more" link on the floating box and read the help page. It didn't help. It just said that if there's nothing in that Display menu, that I'm either not connected to the internet or I haven't published any albums or movies. Both are wrong, though. I'm connected to the internet; I'm posting this, and have been browsing other sites as well, including my own MobileMe Gallery page...which brings me to my next point, which is that the other condition is also wrong: I do have albums published to MobileMe. Many galleries. And they're all there, they all work, iPhoto is in sync with them, etc. And it's the same MobileMe account, no doubt about that.
So why doesn't the widget in iWeb seem to know about my MobileMe galleries? Or is there some important fact or concept I'm completely overlooking?

That has been an ongoing problem here. First try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
Next, create a new test gallery in iPhoto and publish. Then launch iWeb and try again. Some have said that the new gallery worked to jumpstart iWeb.

MobileMe Gallery from A3 Does not Display Key Photo

When I post from Aperture 3 to MobileMe, the Gallery preview pic does not display the key photo anymore. Skimming still works, but the preview pic as seen in the gallery is not displayed. Instead of the preview picture, an icon is displayed that is gray with two stacked pictures.
If I go to me.com and manage the gallery from there, I do see a preview picture but not the key photo. Instead, I see the first photo from the project.
In Aperture 2, I did not see these behaviors.
Anyone else seeing this problem?

Yes, I noticed this too.
I can skim the gallery (like an event) but then it just gives a generic thumbnail as the key photo.

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

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.
