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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Then no information exists.  Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

  • MobileMe Gallery and iPhoto 11

    Before, (iphoto 9), I can upload, view, play slide shows with photos in my MobileMe gallery very quickly. But with iphoto 11, it is forever pending, pending, pending... what did I do wrong?

    I am not happy. I hope the guy who wrote the new codes will just talk with the people who wrote the iPhoto 9 codes and also talk with the guys who wrote the MobileMe Gallery codes. It gives people the impression that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. This may affect the Apple stock price. Wonder if Steve is aware of the problem; does he use iPhoto 11 and MobileMe; does he permit it; and what is he doing about it. This has been taking way too long to resolve.
