Faces / Places and Mobileme Gallery question

Hi all, i could not find much on this but my question is when using faces / places and Mobileme gallery does this actually take up hard drive space ? With faces and places does that actaully create another image or is it just linked to your main library ? And for Mobileme Gallary does that actually download the images to your Mac ?
Thanks

Drop them on the desktop then upload directly from the MoMe Album.

  • Faces / Places and MobileMe Gallery?

    Hi all,
    I have all my photos stored on MobileMe, which were uploaded from my Mac at home, which had faces and places all set up. However, I've just set up iPhoto on my MacBook Air, to just use the MobileMe galleries (to save hard drive space), and the faces and places data hasn't transferred. I don't mind setting it up again, but I can't seem to get started - I can see Faces has scanned all my photos, but there's no way of adding any names to the photos. How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Splitting the Library will not save you any disk space, and will, in fact, use more as the database and support files will be duplicated. Also, it's less convenient as you can only access one Library at a time. If you're worried about disk space you can run a Library from an external disk.
    That said:
    Duplicate the Library in the Finder.
    Open the first one - lets say it's the 2009 one - and remove all the 2008 elements from it.
    Then Open the second one and remove all the 2009 elements from it.
    Result: two libraries, intact for the respective years.
    To choose a Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Aperture 3 and mobileme gallery

    I hope this makes sense to someone!
    I purchased aperture 3, imported my iphoto pictures and then started to upload my newest photos into mobileme through the mobileme gallery button. It has created the albums and uploaded them (I can see them in the aperture side bar), but it has created a new gallery folder on my mobile me space rather than popping them into a folder already set up that is the one my iweb is using. So when I log into iweb I cannot see the newest albums. So, after all that, my question is: how do I get aperture to upload the new albums into my existing iweb linked gallery? Or how do I merge the two?
    Phew!!!
    many thanks

  • IWeb and MobileMe Gallery

    I am trying to upload pictures from the MobileMe Gallery.  I have albums published but when I move the MobileMe widget to the web page I am creating it reads "No albums or movies". Please help.

    I've jumpstarted the MMe widget with the following 2 fixes before:
    Try this:
    quit iWeb
    go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
    login with your correct username and password.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    Ahother method that worked one time was:
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    HOWEVER, a way to embed your MMe gallery and not worry about fixes is to go online and get the URL of your MMe gallery and plug it into the following code in an HTML snippet:
    <script src="http://gallery.mac.com/g/flash/photowidget_iefix.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    writeObj("http://gallery.me.com/MobileMeName/XXXXXX", 226, 199);
    </script>
    Thanks to Wyodor for the code.
    Where XXXXXX is the number of your MobileMe gallery

  • Aperture and MobileMe Gallery

    I have a website which was created in Aperture and uploaded to my MobileMe Gallery some time ago. Since upgrading to version 3 it seems that the gallery has lost its link with the Aperture Album. The MobileMe gallery shows 'Sync with Aperture' in the info window but the Gallery does not show in the MobileMe Gallery Section of Aperture.
    Is there anyway I can re-link the Gallery and Aperture manually?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    No one able to offer any insight to this issue?

  • IPhoto and MobileMe gallery

    Since switching from MobileMe to iCloud I am unable to add a new album to my MobileMe gallery. If I do add a new album it is removed almost immediately.
    I am also unable to 'share' it from MobileMe gallery before it is removed automatically almost immediately it is put on.
    Could anybody explain why and how to fix this problem.

    I would like to add to this thread.  Same problems with updating to the iPhoto 11 and the "cloud".  The photo's taken on my iPhone are displaying in my "Photo Stream", I add the photo's I want from the Photo stream to my iPhoto library stored locally, and then publish the album to mobile me.
    Problem is, as soon as the seldected photo's are published to mobile me I go to the "web" pane on iPhoto in order to send an email to my friends that a new album is posted.  As soon as I select "web" on the right hand selection pane in iPhoto 11, I receive the following:
    iPhoto displays "The published album has been removed from Mobile me". 
    The album is saved from photo stream to my iPhoto album, but the selected photo's will not publish to mobile me.  This is a problem with apples new Lion OS and iPhoto 11.  One more example of how Apple has rolled out new products that are not ready.  I moved from PC to Mac 10 years ago because of this same problem with PC software, now Apple has lost its way and is putting new software on the market that just doesn't work and I suspect the OS will become irrelevant agian if the company doesn't focus on what drew customers to their platform.  So disappointed with Apple again...its becoming very common.

  • Why No Face Detection for Mobileme Gallery?

    I know to perform face detection, i goto Events, select a photo, then click the "Name" icon on the bottom toolbar, type in the name, and iPhoto will take care of the rest.
    But when i open the Mobileme galleries in iPhoto and select photos, there is no "Name" icon on the bottom toolbar. How could i perform the face detection for mobileme photos then?
    Help very much appreciated

    You can't. You'll need to do your naming with the versions in your Library.

  • IWeb Google Maps and Photo Gallery Question

    I have a Website I started to create a while back. Is there a way to insert a google map and some type of photo gallery
    into my site, now that MobileMe is gone???  I really liked the simplicity of iWeb. Is there anything else out there?
    Thanks, Eric U

    You can still insert Google maps into your site - you just need to do it as you did before the Google maps widget arrived.
    Go to Google maps and create the map you want and then copy and paste the code and place it in an ordinary html snippet and then click on Apply and the map will appear.
    Also, another tip - you could have found all the answers that you were looking for before even posting your question by searching this forum and there have been literally hundreds of posts on the same topics of Google maps and slide shows.
    Suggest you search the forum and look for posts by Old Toad and Roddy, who have found alternatives.
    You don't need to stop using iWeb - if you have it use it, but just upload to another host/server.
    There are plenty of alternative out there - again a forum search would have given you answers.
    Take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express and Flux 4.  You can download free trials of all of these and most are available for purcahse from the Mac App Store.

  • Changes applied and MobileMe Gallery

    After uploading a gallery to MobileMe I changed some picture's settings (exposure an such) within Aperture. I expected Aperture to upload the new versions with the next MobielMe Gallery sync.
    But it won't. What am I doing wrong?

    Have you refreshed your browser? Maybe you need to clear your cache and reload the page.
    Does both the visitor and owner pages show the old versions of the pictures?
    You could create a duplicate version of the images and add those to the MobileMe album. Then. delete the old version and sync the album.

  • Does consolidating masters retain Faces, Places and other metadata?

    I just got done adding keywords, Faces and Places to ~2000 pictures, and I've decided I'm going to go ahead, take the full plunge and have Aperture manage my files.
    Before I consolidate my images (via copy, so I have the option of using Lightroom or something else someday), I need to know: will all the work I've done migrate to the consolidated version of my Aperture library?
    I'd hate to lose all of that work...
    thanks,
    paul

    Whether the images are managed or referenced makes no difference to metadata etc. in Aperture.
    Ian
    P.S. If you're not already using other apps to directly access the files I'd not bother with copying, as you can always use File>Relocate Masters... to move them back out of the Library again.

  • Iphoto 6 and web gallery question

    I'm a newbie, so please excuse me if this sounds stupid. I have iphoto 6 and have successfully made photo pages, but I can't figure out how to start a web gallery. (I want other people to be able to upload their photos.) I've tried looking at tutorials & stuff but they all have to do with iphoto '08. Am I just blind? I haven't subscribed yet to .mac, I'm still in the trial, does that make a difference? I'd appreciate any help,

    I was referring to the customer reviews of ilife '08 on the Apple website. You're right though, most of the negativity was regarding iMovie 7, and the majority of the iPhoto complaints were about their current published photo pages being "all messed up". That doesn't bother me so much because I want to start over with a new web gallery anyway. Also, a guy I talked to said that he was having trouble with iPhoto 7 and his photoshop work. (Like I said, I'm new to this, so my feeble brain lost the exact terminology he used.) I think I will trust what you say though and go ahead and buy it just because it looks so **** pretty. Thank you for your help!

  • Editing titles on mobileme gallery

    OK - this is a simple question... I have created albums that I have then posted to MobileMe. So in my source panel, there's a section for Events, Albums and MobileMe Galleries, amongst others. If I want to make changes to my album on MobileMe, do I do it all within the MobileMe Gallery section of my iPhoto or do it make the changes to the Album I used to create the gallery? For example, if I want to add titles to my photos, where should I do it? Is there a way to add titles in such a way that they are added to my iPhoto and to my MobileMe Gallery? Or was I supposed to add all the titles before I posted the album to MobileMe?
    Same questions for adding/removing photos from the Album and MobileMe Gallery. Can I do it in one place to impact both? Sorry - I've had such trouble lately posting albums that I feel like I've forgotten how it's supposed to work.

    Adding the title in any of those places will change all of them (set MobileMe to manual update first to avoid issues of making changes while it is automatically updating) - there is one and only one photo in iPhoto and it shows in the album, in the MobileMe gallery and the iPhoto library
    Or was I supposed to add all the titles before I posted the album to MobileMe?
    This is a better work flow for a number of reasons - but not required

    removing a photo from the source album only removes it from that album
    Removing a photo from the MobileMe gallery removed is from both the MobileMe gallery on MobileMe and in iPhoto
    Removing a photo from the iPhoto library (event or photo view) and emptying the iPhoto trash removed the photo from all places - all albums, galleries, books and disk

  • MOBILEME GALLERY in sidebar not being converted to iPhoto11 from iPhoto09

    o Have factory fresh Mac Pro with iPhoto 11 (9.1.1)
    o Copied over an iPhoto Library, created in iPhoto 09 (8.1.2) on a G5 running OSX 10.5.8, to the Mac Pro's hard disk. iPhoto Library that was copied includes photos, ALBUMS and MOBILEME GALLERY albums (MMGA), all listed in iPhoto 09's sidebar on the left. MMGA were the source to create the current gallery of albums with photos on my MobileMe account.
    o On Mac Pro launched, via double click, the iPhoto09 Library that was copied from over from the G5
    o iPhoto 11 converted incoming info and all seems ok except sidebar at left does not list my MOBILEME GALLERY albums, rather it only lists
    - LIBRARY RECENT ALBUMS PROJECTS but no MOBILEME GALLERY
    How do I get these albums listed in my left sidebar under MOBILEME GALLERY?
    Don't the MOBILEME GALLERY albums convert from iPhoto09 to iPhoto11?
    Moderators - I also posted this in the iPhoto09 section. Probably should be deleted there as more applicable to iPhoto11. Thanks - STL

    Turns out the albums associated with MobileMe albums will be listed under WEB in the sidebar. I generated a small album for MobileMe in iPhoto11 and the WEB identifier appeared with my mobileme identifier underneath. Albums in my MobileMe gallery were then listed in the iPhoto window. I don't have clue why this happened.
    I would appreciate an explanation by someone that understands why I encountered this issue.
    Anyway, it seems to be working now although 11's sidebar identifiers are different than 09's.

  • MobileMe Gallery Widgets - 3 Curious Questions

    Have created and published an iWeb site which basically consists of one page, onto which I’ve positioned six MobileMe Gallery widgets. In the window for each of those widgets I’ve selected a particular MobileMe Gallery published from Aperture, each of which already has one particular image designated as its Key Photo.
    So now what’s left -- and what I’ve searched extensively but still can’t figure out -- is:
    1) How do I turn OFF the automatic “slideshow preview” going on inside each of those six Gallery Widgets, and make it so they each display only the Key Photo for that Gallery (at least until the user mouses over a particular widget, activating the scrub/scan feature to manually preview all the images contained in that Gallery)?
    2) How do I set each widget window to “fit” all the preview thumbs inside its dimensions, rather than arbitrarily hacking off the tops and bottoms of all the vertically-oriented images, which for many shots just looks arbitrary, amateurish, and really ugly?
    3) What is the current status of that ridiculous bug which didn’t allow the Gallery Widget to display a Gallery which had been published using the “Hide album on my Gallery home page” option? I do ultimately need to have that option checked, but have left it unchecked for now just to make sure the iWeb site containing the widgets would actually publish.
    So -- have the iWeb people and the MobileMe people FINALLY got this bug fixed, or do I still need to hold off activating that “Hide album...” option, and just let my professional Galleries be all mixed together with my personal ones? (Which again just looks arbitrary and amateurish, and encourages one to check out third-party solutions -- at least until such time as the different programming groups at Apple decide to actually talk to each other, and make programs which can interact in truly fluid, intuitive, and meaningful ways.)
    My 2¢ -- on top of 3 questions. Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    John Bertram

    John:
    #1 - are you referring to the "skimming" of photos as you move the cursor over the gallery? That's javascript controlled I believe and would require knowledge of javascript and widgets. You might ask Cyclosaurer as he's the resident expert on javascript and widgets.
    No, no, no -- I'm fine with the skimming, in fact I like that feature. I'm talking about the fact that EACH of the six different MobileMe Gallery widgets, from the moment I dragged each one onto the iWeb page I was creating and selected which already-published Gallery it should link to, began showing each of the different images contained in that Gallery/Album, changing to the next one every second or two. This happened completely on its own, I did not (at least not intentionally) select or activate anything, and it happens in ALL the widget windows, even though the mouse is not skimming over ANY of them.
    It continues (again, in every widget window, and completely on its own) when I save the page, it continues when I publish the page, it continues when I visit the page online. The only thing which does stop it -- temporarily -- is when I do mouse over a particular widget window and manually skim. But the moment I stop skimming, this "automatic slideshow preview" (I don't know what else to call it) kicks back in.
    Is this normal? Or is this some weird aberration peculiar to my system?
    The added annoyance is that when you click on one of the widgets, instead of going to that Gallery in its full album view, it goes to a single frame view of whichever image happened to be being displayed at the time you clicked, requiring the user to then click on the "Back to Album" button in the upper left to get their bearings. Which again makes me wonder -- is this normal?
    #2 - Again, you're referring to the skimming, right? Since it's a square shape the photos would have to be square to be able to be scaled exactly. Since it's only a "skim" of what's inside being perfectly scaled isn't that necessary.
    It certainly wouldn't be as annoying if I could switch off this "automatic slideshow preview" behaviour as described above. (Though even for the skim function, I still think it would make sense to have the option to have the images auto scale to fit completely within the widget window -- which is not square, by the way -- or at least on my system appears to only be sizeable as a horizontal rectangle, to a maximum size of 320x260 pixels. This orientation works fine for previewing horizontally-oriented images, but looks butt-ugly when completely decapitating various groups of people in vertically-aligned shots, of which I happen to have many.)
    In any case, if an auto-scale option to fit all image preview thumbs within the widget window (even for mere skimming) is something I need to add to my Feature Request list, that's fine. It's this bizarre, completely on its own "automatic slideshow preview" behaviour I'm still trying to understand.
    #3 - it still exists. If you don't want it to be displayed in your overall MMe gallery with the rest of the individual galleries Apple isn't letting it be published alone.
    Just to make sure we're talking about the same bug, in an ideal world I DON'T want these particular Gallery/Albums to be displayed as part of my overall MMe Gallery page, but I DO want them to be the designated content of the MMe Gallery WIDGETS which I'm including on the specific iWeb page in question. And if this bug still has not been fixed, then it appears I and many others are still S.O.L. for what should be a simple and obvious bit of formatting.
    Send your 2¢ worth to apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html. We're just users like yourself and can't do anything about it.
    Rest assured I will. What's one more page after the hundreds I've already sent them?
    I'm just a bit stunned that this particular bug hasn't been dealt with already. And it only reinforces my firm belief (see the thread at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1996786&tstart=0)
    that Apple desperately needs an Inter-App Czar, someone with the carte-blanche power to literally FORCE different programming teams to make all Apple apps not only play nicely together, but to play intelligently and intuitively and creatively together!

  • MobileMe Gallery and international characters

    (May this serve as a warning to others.)
    I recently had trouble posting some vacation photos to a Gallery. My initial organization included a roll named Málaga (that's an accent on the first 'a'; it's a city in Spain). Later I organized other albums but the files' pathnames still contain the accented letter.
    Posting an album to a MobileMe Gallery resulted in the error:
    "An error occurred with the publication of album "[whatever]." Request to the server failed".
    There were no errors listed in my Console logs.
    I've found Apple warnings about having punctuation marks in photos and videos but this isn't quite the same issue.
    The problem was very stubborn and I didn't realize the cause until I created another iPhoto Library and happened to use different names for rolls, etc.
    A bug report has been filed.
    ...Neil

    Neil:
    Using non standard asci characters in site names has always been a problem. Thanks for the heads up. Here's some information I've gleamed from the iWeb forum regarding site/page names:
    Renaming a website or webpage
    You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
    The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
    The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
    http://web.mac.com/your account name/ or
    http://web.me.com/your account name/
    Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
    IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
    iWeb now converts spaces in site names to "_". Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
    Other characters that aren't recommended for use in website names are: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
