EXIF info and Mobile Me gallery

When making a MM gallery from Aperture the exif data is missing when clicking on the "i" button in the gallery when viewing on the web. It shows on other apps. (Bridge, Aperture etc.)
When posting from iPhoto it is there.
Any ideas why Aperture strips the camera info when posting a MM gallery?
Sue

Yes, that option is checked - to enclude metadata. There is something haywire - I've been working with a gal at apple and she created a new MM account for me to see if it did the same thing and it does. We'll see if Apple can figure out why iPhoto, the simple program adds it and the pro version doesn't.
Thanks for trying.
Sue

IWeb and Mobile Me gallery?

I am using iWeb to create my web site but publishing my photos from iPhoto to the mobile me gallery. In iWeb I am using the Black theme where it puts the main links to the different pages across the top. I would like to add a link there that goes to the gallery.me.com page. how do I do this??
Thanks for the help.

iWeb: you don't need to save anything from the iDisk - iWeb does not open html files. Your iWeb sites are held in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file called Domain. So even after MobileMe terminates you will still be able to open iWeb and see your sites, you just won't be able to publish them to MobileMe. You can publish them to any other webspace - please see this page:
http://rfwilmut.net/migrate2
Gallery: if your albums arre synced with iPhoto or Aperture then the pictures are on your Mac anyway. If not, and you don't have local copies (which is always a risky procedure) you will have to download each picture separately. Alternatively there is an online photo gallery service called ZangZing which provides an easy import facility from various other services including MobileMe's Gallery. It's free until June 2012 after which the first 2GB is free with escalating price levels starting at $5 per month or $50 a year.

Lightroom + Microsoft Photo Info (and MS Photo Gallery?)

Just a little note/warning about what I found when doing some testing with the Microsoft Photo Info tool for adding metadata to images. Note that I believe the Photo Gallery or whatever it is called in Vista behaves the same way, but I'm not sure. Possibly also other 3rd party tools using the new Windows Imaging Component from Microsoft. Anyway...
What's special about this tool from MS is that it writes XMP data directly into a raw file. I added some metadata and then loaded the file into Lightroom. I was a little surprised to see that LR checked for existence of XMP data inside a raw file, but it's nice of it to do so. But, when I altered the metadata in LR and wrote it back to disk, it was written to a sidecar-file. Just as expected by LR and also just as it should be. Next step was to open the file again in Photo Info, and, not really surprising, it only read the metadata inside the file. So, the result was two different XMP blocks - one inside the raw file and one as a sidecar.
For most people this is not an issue, especially if this is only true for Photo Info which is not that much used, but if the same goes for the photo gallery in Vista, then it might be a bigger problem, since this will be used by more people.
I'd say that this is more of a Microsoft problem than a Adobbe problem, since the standard for now is to not touch raw files, but a couple of questions springs to mind. What if Adobe later agrees with MS that XMP could be written to raw files? Which XMP block should it read if an image already have two? And I would not be surprised if new raw formats will have XMP included already from the camera. If they do, a sidecar file may not be a good idea, since each image will then have two XMP blocks that may conflict.

I have the same problem with LR5 on OSX.
Any solution?

Histogram fails to show exif info

I shoot in raw, I import into lightroom by doing a sync folder. Then I edit my picture using photoshop cs6. I save it as a jpeg. Finally I export this image as a jpeg to a sub folder called Publish, which means its ready for the web.
problem is when i look at image in lightroom on the right side the histogram has no details, it wont show iso, fstop or anything.
why is all this data gone? if I look at my original RAW file i can see the exif info in the histogram but on my final exported image its all gone.
why is this and can it be fixed?
furthmore it looses all its tags and meta data, I have to copy the metadata back to this file.
it would be nice if lightroom would reinsert the meta info and exif once its reimported into lightroom.

maybe i'm doinh something wrong in my workflow. This problem only came recently when I started using LR4
I import my pictures using Nikon transfer
than I use View NX to Rename, Tag and delete what i consider bad images.
now I geotag them using a program called Geosetter.
finally i go into lightroom 4 and tell it to sync folder 2012
it finds the images with no problems.
i go into my folder ie 2012-05-05
next I stack my images, since i shoot hdr i usually end up with 5 images that are part of a bracket set.
here is where my confusion and problems begin.
i have a metadata preset already made "meta info"
it has my name, and all other details i want each image to have.
but after i sync my folder this meta info does not apply.
is there a way after a sync to make it automatically do this.
problem is i tend to forget.
so i do this manually. I high light all images on the folder than on right side panel i slect from drop down my Meta info
it applies ok.
now i start my post work, i edit file (as original) in photoshop. do what I need and than save it as a jpeg, full rez and full size.
now i go back to lightroom where my picture i edited appears, as it does not from my photoshop editing.
but its missing exif info and meta data info also. in fact its been stripped of all data
at this point i dont know what to do
so i pick the original raw file right click and select "metadata presets" > copy
a box appears and it lets me select what fields to copy. I copy.
now i select the photoshop edited file and right click paste meata data info.
i double check and the info is good its all normal again.
here is my dilemma
if I upload this image to flickr or the web it looks different than what it looks on my computer
i dont know why and i'm guessing is because it has lightroom adjustments to it
so my workaround is to Export this picture.
I right click and choose export to hard drive, and export with full size and res as a jpeg.
now when i upload this exported JPEG it looks identical to one on my computer but serious problem
exif and meta info have been stripped
i dont get it??? i did not tell it to do this
so i try to copy meta info from the original file but it fails
it lets me do it but info simply wont stick
i open file in windows explorer to verify and its NOT read only.
so i'm at a loss

Problem transferring white balance Exif info from iPhoto to Aperture

I originally posted this question on the Aperture discussions page, but it was suggested to me that maybe I should try asking it on the iPhoto page as well.
I want to transfer my iPhoto library over to Aperture, but am reluctant to do so until I have familiarised myself with the new program. (I have over 23,000 photos in iPhoto.)
As a start, I have imported a few of my recent photos from iPhoto so that I can find my way around Aperture. One thing puzzles me. I can see the white balance information for each photo in iPhoto but the white balance field is greyed out in the Aperture metadata, and there is no 'cloud' or 'sun' picture at the top right of the Info panel, even though the white balance field is ticked in the Metadata Fields panels for Exif Info and Camera Info. I really need to know which camera setting I used for each photo to help me learn how to take better photos, but as far as I can see the information is not available to me anywhere in Aperture.
I have performed Aperture Library First Aid (repaired permissions and database, and rebuilt database) but the problem still exists. At the suggestion of someone on the Aperture page I have also created a new Aperture library and then imported some original photos from iPhoto which I exported to the desktop and then into the new Aperture library. I had the same problem, with no white balance information showing. That's when I was advised to try the iPhoto discussions page as well!
Does anyone have any ideas for me please?

Well, Terence, it duly showed up the white balance data when I shot a Raw photo. But I don't understand why Aperture recognises white balance for Raw but won't show it for Jpegs, whereas iPhoto recognises both.

Mobile me gallery and stacks

When I drag a stack pick to a mobile me gallery the entire stack shows up in the gallery and none of the pictures in the stack are selected as the stack pick. Once I have all my pictures in the mobile me gallery I have to go back and re-select the picture in each stack I want published.
Is there a way to drag the stack pick from an album to a mobile me gallery without having to go back and re-selecting the stack pick
Thanks

Not that I am aware of. I drag the pic to the mobileme gallery. Then click on the version I want to display in the gallery, and "shift-\" to make that image the "album" pick. This keeps my project "stack" pick intact. Every album or gallery can have their own picks, designated by the check-mark on the thumbnail.
Would be nice if the album pick was designated by which version is dragged to the album, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

EXIF info in Finder and iPhoto different

When I import pictures from my Canon Powershot Pro1, iPhoto has the correct exif info, but any other program, either finder or another program called "Name those files", uses faulty exif information, namely that the creation date of the file is the import date. I like to rename my files, including the original date it was taken, and I am not able to because of this glitch, although maybe I should rename in iPhoto. I don't know.

mevannorden:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's a contextual menu application, PhotoToolCM 2.0, that will batch rename the files to the EXIF date -0 YYYY-MM-DD-01.jpg. You can use it before importing into iPhoto. You can also use another renaming application, like R-Name to append the additional information to the file name. You will end up with a file name like this: YYYY-MM-DD-01-your info here.jpg
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to send photo info to Mobile Me

I"ve downloaded photos to my iPhoto program and have given them descriptions and they have GPS data attached. I've sent them up to my Mobile Me Gallery but they don't have any of this info, so the people I send them to to look at don't have the info. How can I fix this. Thanks.

Try this -
http://pktpix.com/index.html
sends a txt with a link to the image.
I'd also like to add that not having this built in to the iphone is almost as annoying as not having a video camera available.

Can not view mobile me gallery videos on IPHONE

Can any body tell me why i can not view my mobile me gallery videos on my Iphone? When i bring up my gallery on my phone it only shows some of my posted video not all of them and the time has 0:00. If you try and play it you get an error message.

When you send an email announcement for others to view a MM gallery, you can Bcc yourself with the message - to your MM address.
If you store all sent messages on the server, you can access the sent message in your MM account's Sent mailbox. This will provide you the link to your MM gallery, which you can bookmark for later use or create a web clip which will be placed on your iPhone's Home screen for faster access.

Lost Contacts after Upgrade and Mobile Me

After installing the latest iPhone software 2.2 and setting up to do mobile me I lost all of my contacts and phone numbers. Can I do a restore and get all of my contact information back? My contacts were not already on my macbook pro as it is new and I am setting it up as well. NEED HELP!

When turning on over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with a MobileMe account on an iPhone, there is a warning message provided that indicates all contact info and calendar events on your iPhone will be erased and replaced with your MobileMe online address book and calendar.
You need to sync the Address Book and iCal on your Mac with your MobileMe online address book and calendar first.
The same applies when turning on over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with an Exchange account.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which includes contact info. The backup is updated if needed as the first step during the sync process.
Which computer were you syncing your iPhone's contact info with before turning on over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone?
You should be able to sync the supported address book on that computer with your MM online address book, which will be followed by transferring your MM online address book to your iPhone's address book.

What does this mean? iPhoto[207] have info and image but no ref

Bought a MacBook about 8 weeks ago. Had to reload it from scratch yesterday (Mac OS DVD's) after numerous issues surface (files disappearing, random crashes, etc.) Disk Repair/fsck didn't work.
Today I imported a bunch of pictures from a CD, went to edit some and post with IWeb, and got the error message above in my console file. I deleted all the pix and just reloaded them. (10.4.8 was not a positive experience for me.)
Love the Mac, but this is getting to be real work at this point.
I was a former Unix System Admin and spent 21 years in IT with AT&T, IBM, etc. Currently running 6.0.4. Fearing that my hard drive is having issues.
Comments welcome. Thanks in Advance. Error detail...
2006-10-18 18:00:38.653 iPhoto[207] Could not enable EXIF export
2006-10-18 18:00:38.653 iPhoto[207] Could not set metadata
2006-10-18 18:00:38.654 iPhoto[207] Could not enable thumbnail generation
2006-10-18 18:05:06.520 iPhoto[207] have info and image but no ciimage

You mention the errors in Console. But what happened, visually, in iPhoto? Did it not send the photos? Not import the photos from the CD?
It's getting to sound like permissions restrictions are preventing iPhoto from doing what it normally does to photos - create thumbnails, export the EXIF information to its database. The last line seems to indicate that it couldn't find the link between the displayed thumbnail and the actual photo file.
Do you allow iPhoto to import into its iPhoto Library folder? (default) or do you have Copy to iPhoto Library turned off in Advanced prefs?
How did you import into iPhoto, specifically?
iPhoto makes a lot of assumptions and is finicky about some things expecially structure. It doesn't like things being done behind its back, i.e. though the Finder or through Terminal or anything else. Usually with that last Console comment, it's a strong indicator something changed.

Problems with iWeb and mobile me

Ciao everyone,
I've been having a ridiculous amount of problems with my mobile me account and my iweb. 2 weeks ago I was fine with my iweb and mobile me but all of a sudden my iweb would say it publish but it really doesn't publish. The I went to the mac store a couple of times and thought I would get answers but I didnt get any answer even though I had a couple of one to one visits with a couple of stores in NYC. So when i publish it it shows that it published in my www.me.com/idisk/iweb folder but then it doesn't show in my website. Then one guy told me that I should just recreate a new site but copy and past all the old information to the new one. Now it won't publish at all because I guess its a lot of information to publish at once. I get an error message saying error iweb was not able to publish please try again later. Any help?

Hey you guys,
Thanks for the help, but I did try to publish all to my iweb and it didn't work. I do try to view my published website through the file/visit published site and for some reason only my intro page is there then when i go into the main page i get an error page. I also did go to my finder/Go/idisk/myidisk/iweb/site/iweb and saw my websites folder. Everything seems to be in it. I tried to take a screen shot of what is in my folder but I can't post pictures. In my folder I have a folder for gallery, index.html, site, shites.rss, and my website folder usvisualswebsite
Any other suggestions? This is really frustrating. I also created another test site with nothing in it and published it and it says it finishes publishing but the blank test page isn't there.

JPEG Export = Save EXIF Infos as part of the image

Is there a way to export jpegs with some exif info (creation date and tile) which should be saved directly on the image. Like the showing of the timestamp on the picture which can be turned on on some cameras.
Reasoin is: I want to use those pics on a digital image frame and I want to show some image data as well. As there are no options in the software of the digiframe to display exifs I have to integrate them in the pictures...
if it is not possible with lightroom then probably you can tell me another way (bridge, photoshop, ...) - just not manually...
thanks

You can do a text overlay in the print Module and then print to JPG file.
Text overlay is done in the "Photo Info" panel.
Print to JPG is done by selecting JPGf file under "Print to:"
For details read up in the Help menu.

Problem using email to upload image files to Mobile Me gallery

I will cross post this question to both Mail and Mobile Me discussion groups because I don't know where my problem lies.
I have published a gallery page from iPhoto to my Mobile Me gallery. There are two ways to upload additional photos. I am not having trouble adding image files with the Upload feature. I cannot get the email function to work. The emails I send to the email address for the gallery bounce back to my mail inbox.
Subject: Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed
and in the body of the bounced email:

Diagnostic-code: smtp;521 5.2.1 Fatal failure of WOA
One of the images I am trying to attach is a jpeg file of 61 kb.
I have tried to drag the image from my desktop to the body of the email. I have tried using the "attach" function and selecting the file name. I am not sending any text with these files.
When I built these albums, I checked and enabled all the options.
I am having this same issue when I try to upload via email to any of my Mobile Me gallery pages.
There is currently one photo displayed here:
http://gallery.me.com/tplattenberger#100352
If anyone wishes to try to upload to that gallery using email (Send to Album) that would be great and if successful, that might provide a clue to my problem.
As I say, I currently have one photo there. If you find a lot more, please do not add.
What's the problem?
Tom

The images I am trying are newly created and old.
A weird hint perhaps...
I just copied an image from Apple's home page and pasted it into the email and tried again...
it worked.
So I tried again, dragging from iPhoto and it did not work... the email bounced back.
So I tried again, this time using copy and paste (like I did from Apple's page) from iPhoto... it did not work.
