Blank "Album URL" when publishing photos to MobileMe

When I upload photos to MobileMe, there is nothing liste under the "Album URL." Granted, I know how to find the album easily enough, but I have a few albums that have not shown up recently and I was hoping to visit their URL directly. Does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks and Happy New Year to Old Toad and Remy for their speedy responses. Unfortunately neither their suggestions, nor Apple/MobileMe's support worked.   I phoned AppleCare and the iLife specialist I was referred to was certain that it was not an issue in iPhoto as it had happened on two of my machines - but rather in MobileMe. MobileMe has their own support group - Chat based.     The representative I was assigned to repeatedly got my name wrong, and took forever to make any suggestions.   I was not really frustrated with him as much as I am with Apple.    They have clearly abandoned MobileMe.   I said that I used to like sharing photos to my MobileMe Gallery because it was integrated with iLife and it just worked.    I told him that this is the great thing about Apple products they just worked - but in this case I felt like I was dealing with Microsoft.
I know that publishing will sometimes work, but I think I will set up my galleries with another photo sharing service and then request a refund from Apple.    I recall Steve Jobs was publicly disappointed with MobileMe, and some of the services have migrated for free to iCloud, but they could have made it better. Now that it is sunsetted, they have abandoned paying customers like me.
There are quite a few photo sharing services out there.   I have used SugarSync's in the past, but recipients must set up an account, and I must export the photos from iPhoto first.    I see that Flickr is integrated with iPhoto, so that will be my first stop.
If anyone else has encountered the problem I have with publishing to MobileMe galleries, or knows a workaround, please post a reply.   I love Apple, but feel they need to hear from me, a loyal but now disappointed customer.

Each time I create a new album in IPhoto, photos from another album or from photo stream are automatically dumped into the new album.. how do I create a blank album and then import photos from a flash drive into the new album?

just import the iPhoto
Surely you meant "just import the photo"? The Spell checker is dangerously creative !

Publishing photo to MobileMe, not able to select one album

Hello, since the 3.0 update, I am not able to select just one album to upload a photo... By default it puts the checkmark next to the first album, and then I select a different album, but the checkmark never removes itself from the first... is this a confirmed bug?

I get the same problematic behavior. I can work around it by selecting, one by one, each successive album below the first one, which moves the checkmark down one album at a time until I can stop at the one I want. But that is clearly a major nuisance. I'd love to know how to fix this. On the more positive note, the videos I have tested post faster than I would expect, and work fine.

IPhoto11 is no longer publishing photos to MobileMe

For years I have used the integration of iPhoto and MobileMe to publish and share photo albums on the web.   This week on my iMac I tried to publish my most recent photos from the holidays via iPhoto11 and MobileMe and found that no photos were published to the newly created album - only the thumbnails.   When I then try to publish other photos to the new MobileMe album, I get a message that the MobileMe album will be deleted.
As this happened several times, I then tried the same from my Macbook Pro. The first album I created published properly and I assumed that I had corrupted iPhoto software on my iMac.   When I then tried to create and publish a second album, I experienced the identical problem as I had on my iMac.
I am now convinced that this is a bug in either iPhoto11 or MobileMe. I searched Apple Support and its communities but have not seen this error.   Any suggestions?

Aperture won't connect to facebook when publishing photos...

Hello,
I am getting this error message when I try to publish photos to my facebook account...
"An unknown error occurred. Please try again later."
I have tried numerous things that I have seen work for other people in the past but with no sucess...
I made sure the secure web browser (https) settings in facebook were disabled
I made sure login aprovals was turned off in facebook
I deleted Aperture from the applications folder, and downloaded a new copy from the app store
I updated my facebook password
I am using Aperture 3.4.2
If anyone has any insight it would be very helpful!
Thanks!

Looks like I had no apps in my FB account so once I started a game app then the Aperture app was able to be installed.

How to hide full name when publishing photos to icloud's public website?

When allowing iPhoto to publish photos to iCloud (Public Website, allow anyone to view this photo stream at:..." my full Name (xxx by xxx) is always displayed when opening the link.
Does anyone know how to hide or change the name displayed?

I tried changing my name (Apple ID). It had no effect on the Aperture photo stream website page (and yes, I tried it with a new photo stream).
I still think your name should not be included by default with public website, as well as ability to prevent pictures from Copy/Save.

How to keep my album structure when syncing photos to pc

Hello.
I'am searching the way to sync my photos from iphone to pc but keep the album structure I did create on iphone.
Actually, the structure is lost when the photos are transfer to pc.
Thanks.
Daniel Massé

Hi.
I had the same issue. I am not 100% sure, but please try this:
Keep your folders as they are. Use Aperture. Import all folders into Aperture.
Remember to select the option to copy all photos - is's possible to tell Aperture to just point at the original file so that no copying or moves are made.
In iTunes select "Aperture" in the "Photo" tab.
That should do the job - but I am not 100% sure.
Funnily the absolutely best way og viewing your photos is using an Xbox360 - but that requires your Mac/pc to be turned on all the time, because it only supports streaming. On the other hand the Xbox is MUCH quicker than Apple TV.
Please let me know if Aperture does the job for you...
Oh yes: iPhoto is a messy option: It insists to copy all photos into one extremely large file... Make me kind of unsure because I really can't control anything.
Looking forward to other suggestions...

Blank error message when publishing to YouTube or to mp4 in Captivate 6

I am trying to publish a captivate file to youtube and receive a blank error message box that just says Adobe Captivate with a big yellow exclamation point. I also tried publishing as media (mp4) and get the same error. Screen shot included below.
The Top Issues article (http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/release-note/top-issues-captivate-6.html) for Adobe Captivate 6 includes the following note:
You may observe a blank dialog box or blank error prompts while publishing projects to YouTube. This issue occurs if the name of the Adobe Captivate installation folder contains unicode characters.
I tried renaming the file and the application so it didn't include numbers or underscores and then realized that even letters are considered unicode - so obviously that didn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having this same problem! I also tried to change the name of the application folder but this did not make a difference.
Also tried changing the resolution size of the project as recommended by someone and this did not make any difference.
I'm at a loss. Wish I could get my money back for this product!
My resolution of the project is 1145 X 730.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Marlyn

No "New Smart Album" option when filtering "Photos"

When filtering all photos in the library using the filter bar, there's no option to create new smart album from the results, only for "New Album with Current Images". The option to create a new smart album only seems to appear when you're filtering a project.
Why?
You can create a smart album which filters the entire library, why doesn't Aperture allow the reverse: filter the entire library, and use the results to create a smart album?

That's a good question. No idea why the option to create a smart album is missing in that context but that doesn't mean you can't create a smart album that works on the entire library. In fact all the predefined smart albums under +Library Albums+ work on the entire library.
To create your own smart album that works on the entire library select +Smart Album+ from the New pulldown, just make sure nothing is selected when you do this and the Smart Album will work on all images in the library.
To check what part of the library the Smart Album is selecting from look at the Source: line of the filter HUD.

Publish Photo refuses to work

Hi all, I've done a bit of troubleshooting and still cannot resolve this issue. I was trying to load an iphone photo to my mobileme gallery today and it would not work, would not connect. It would give me the following message:
"Check your MobileMe name and password in settings."
I did so, even deleting my password and re-entering it. Got the same message. Checked my mail on the phone and that worked. So, it is connecting somehow. Read this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1672
Tried to do the locate, after enacting "push" (which I never use per battery drainage concerns) and that did not work. Could not locate my phone. Turned off the wi-fi I was on in my office, trying to get it through via 3G. So, it actually let me get to the publish page at this point, HOWEVER, at the bottom in the account section, it just perpetually reads "loading." Never actually connects. Went back to mail again...again it was able to retrieve mail. The password that lets me into my mail is working, and should be the same password across the board, so why am I suddenly having issues with publishing to mobile me? I did restart the phone. That didn't resolve the issue. I've tried all I can, still no joy. It does connect, and pull mail, when in mail on my mobile me account, so what gives with publishing. I cannot get it to connect either on 3G or wifi. Just constantly get "Unable to connect to MobileMe" when trying to upload a photo. Oh, and this has worked in the past, if that matters. I have a whole gallery of successfully published iPhone photos. Any clues? Thanks.

Allan, deleting the account worked. It was weird however. When I first reset it, tried to reestablish the account on the phone, it set it up, but showed the account "inactive." So, that was certainly an unanticipated surprise. I did some searching and found a number of people who also had .mac accounts show as "inactive" on their phone and had to go through the process of setting up a new password. I did so on .mac, deleted the account on the phone again, then re-established it with the new password and suddenly it worked. And not only did it work, but publishing photos to mobileme worked as well. That whole process doesn't seem to make any sort of sense, but after some hurdles, it's now working. Thanks!

Problem publishing Photo page with iWeb 08

Hello,
I have a problem when publishing photo pages with iWeb 08. Upload starts and then I get the error message that iWeb encountered a problem while publishing. The funny thing is that I can see
the photo page in Safari. The only problem is that when starting the slide show I can not see the
forward/backward buttons. Publishing a photo page with iWeb from a .me web photo gallery works without any error message, but still when starting the slideshow the navigation buttons are not displayed. Actually if you click on the place where the navigation buttons are supposed to be,
you can go picture forward/backward. Any idea ?

I am having the same issue, except I do not get any error messages when publishing to a folder. Clicking on the "index" file within the folder will open the photo page in both Safari and Firefox. Everything functions as designed except no forward/backward/pause buttons are visible below the slideshow. There are text box outlines with a question mark where these buttons are supposed to be located, and I can pause, advance or reverse slides. Eventually these question mark outlines disappear and stay disappeared.
The end result is there are no intuitive graphic indicators on the slide show to even suggest to the viewer that he/she has some control over the presentation. I don't believe I can add explanatory text boxes to the slide show to compensate for the missing icons. This lack of visible control elements in the slide show is a huge issue. I am reasonable sure the problem does not reside within my computer. I've also reviewed inspector control options for a photo page/slide show and haven't gotten any combination of check boxes to make a difference.
I'm beginning to think this may be an unexpected conflict that was contained within a recent software update. It might well be worth a close look at programming code by Apple technicians. In the meantime, can anyone offer a clue as to what might be going on?

Importing pics for blank album covers

I copied over 100 cds into iTunes...now, of course, all I see is blank album covers when I flip through my albums...is there a way to import pics of album covers? I am loving my iPhone, but it would be so much oooler to be able to flip through album covers...like in the commercial

In iTunes, you can pull down under Advanced to "Get Album Artwork". If the iTunes store can find the same name for album it should get it.
If they're albums that iTunes can't find, you can get either an album cover picture or any other picture and copy it. Select the song (or multiple songs) in your library, Get Info, and paste it in the artwork spot.
Hope that helps!

Photo Albums & Photos Disappear when publishing using ftp

Hi,
I am having trouble with both my iweb sites photos. There is two main problems:
1. An album that appears normally in iweb is not visable on the published site
2. An album will have random photos that are missing and replaced with a blank on the published site
Some things I have tried:
- I publish via ftp, so I tried publishing to a local folder - The albums and photos work normally
- I tried republishing with a 3rd party cyperduck - same problem
- I thought maybe it was therefore a ftp problem. So I logged in to my hostings file manager and check if the files are actually on the server - but they are..
- I tried republishing the entire site - same problem
An example can be seen on the following - the third album is completely missing and if you go into the other albums, there will be random gaps where other photos are missing.
http://www.gippmed.com/My_Albums/My_Albums.html
Similar problem on this site, on the USA album, there is two photos missing towards the bottom:

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help

HT5129 I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.

Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
Thanks!

When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album.

Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps
