HT5129 Migrating MobileMe albums

The migrating isn't working. It starts but then doesn't continue. I would rather not migrate any albums from mobile me. Can I opt out of this migration?

In the iPhoto preferences delete any references to MM and do the same n the system preferences

Migrating MobileMe albums does not work.

Every time when I open Aperture the program tries to migrate MobileMe albums. But nothing's happening. Aperture seems to freeze.

Choose the Learn More link, and then ignore the resulting web page. Instead open Aperture Preferences/Web and remove the MobileMe account. Some people have had to remove internet connection, but others not.

HT5129 migrating photo albums from mobile me

Every time I open iPhoto (v 9.3) it tells me it is moving the albums from mobile me gallery to my library and it then gets stuck and I am unable to do anything in iPhoto. I don't need to have these albums moved as I already have copies, how can I get out of this?

HT5129 "The migration of your MobileMe albums could not be completed."

Can anyone assist me with this issue. Each time the MobileMe window pops up to ask if I want to migrate my photos from there to iCloud, I get the error message, "The migration of your MobileMe albums could not be completed." The only options I have from this point are to "Try Again" or "Remind Me Later". Any suggestions? Thanks

Go to http://web.me.com and use the Sign In link to go to your MMe account.
There you can go to the galleries and use the Download button to download zipped folders for each of your galleries.
Then launch iPhoto again and click on the More Info button and ignore the webpage, go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. Next to go the Sustem/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe. That will stop those messages.

I have multiple iPhoto albums, so this move is pushing thousands of pictures to each library. Why doesn't this come with a "No, Thanks!" option since I've ALREADY ensured the MobileMe albums were captured? I've never seen Apple force an action like this!
Worse - According to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4328, "photos you published to MobileMe from your library may be moved from their original events into a new event called "From MobileMe"." - so the forced move has probably scrambled my events in every library. The 'fix'? Search for matching photos and if not found, copy and paste into the desired event. It will take DAYS for me to recover from this undesired and ill-considered forced action.

Load your backup from just before this and when you launch iPhoto click on learn more. Go back to iPhoto and in the iPhoto preferences remove all references to MM and do likewise in the system preferences

HT5132 If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

To William Lloyds recommendation I have to add the following: I tried to implement the suggestion and thus to have the Mobileme-account closed to avoid the lenghty process mentioned, however, I am given to understand that if one choose to have the account closed, ALL of the galleries/albums etc, so far hosted within Mobileme will ALSO be deleted within APERTURE!! And that is not exactly what I want, in as much as I am intending to move everything (Galleries etc) to Smugmug...any suggestions as to eliminate the migration suggeted within Aperture?

IWeb 08 / Aperture 2 / MobileMe albums "No albums or movies available"

I've searched the forums and there doesn't seem to be a resolution for this. It seems the issue has been known about for quite some time now; hard to believe Apple is just ignoring this.
basics:
I created MobileMe albums via Aperture 2. I open iWeb '08 and go to insert the album and get this message: "No albums or movies available"; this message also appears via the Widget add. The albums are NOT password protected.

Well I have found a work around... Though others need to test it as well as me.
Log into me.com and open the gallery you prepared in aperture.
Select the "Adjust the settings for this album" button at the top, then select the pop-up that says "Syncs with" and choose "iPhoto" instead of "Aperture".
Press "Publish".
That's it, the gallery now appears in the iWeb Widgets list!
Also it still syncs with Aperture, both way

How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums? I don't have any! I never did!!! The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

How do I export a movie from imovie to a particular mobileme album

The Mobileme Gallery option in the Share menu of iMovie does not provide for exporting to a particular mobileme album. What is the best way to do this?

You can do it any of four ways.
1) SHARE/to iTUNES
In this case you can right-click on the movie in iTunes and select reveal in Finder. Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
2) SHARE/to Media Browser
I don't recommend this way because it is easy to inadvertently mess up an important file if you don't know what you are doing. But if you want to, you can find your movie inside the project RCPROJECT package in the movies folder.
Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
3) SHARE/to Movie
You will get a dialog box allowing you to save the movie to a place of your choice. You can upload it to youtube from there.
4) SHARE/Export to QuickTime. Here you can customize the setting of your video. Unless you have a great deal of knowledge about video and audio codecs, use the above options, which create great results for Facebook.

Moving MobileMe albums

Now that MobileMe (MM) is no longer in use, I keep getting a "Moving MobileMe albums..." information box whenever i open iPhoto. This is after a dialogue box that informs me the MM is no longer available. There is nothing I can do but accept that I would like to continue after this dialogue box.
The screen will now just sit like this in iPhoto and just hang there. There is no message saying that iPhoto is not responding and no "beach ball". This locks up my iPhoto and there is nothing I know how to do to get past this.
Any assistance/ advice would be great. How can I get to use my iPhoto once again?

Quit (or force quit) iPhoto, if it is still hanging.
When the " MM is no longer available" dialog box appears, select "Learn More", and not o.k.
Open the iPhoto Preferences, select the "Accounts" tab, and remove the "MM" account.
If this is not possible, disconnect from the Internet (turn of Wi-fi or unplug the ethernet), before you launch iPhoto again, then delete the MM account from the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab.
After this, open the System Preferences, MobileMe panel and sign out of MobileMe.

IPhoto Albums and MobileMe Albums - Synchronization (Sync)

I am very interested in how the iPhoto and MobileMe operate together.
I like that if I publish an album to MobileMe, those photos are then kept in sync with that MobileMe album and vice versa. If a change is made to the photo in iPhoto, the same change takes place in MobileMe. If a change is made in MobileMe, that change is pushed to the copy in iPhoto. I like this!
But here is something I would like that I am having trouble accomplishing.
I want to create an iPhoto album (smart or otherwise) and publish it to MobileMe. I would then like any photos ADDED to that album to also be published the same MobileMe album. Can this be done?
Ideally, any photos also posted directly to the MobileMe album would be pushed back to the iPhoto album as well.

No. Instead of adding the photo to the album just drag it into the MMe gallery and it will update the online gallery.

"Tell a Friend" email from MobileMe album - no images or formatting

When I use "tell a friend" from a MobileMe album, it usually calls up "mail" with fancy body text with images of the key album photo with links and a nice layout.
Now, when I use it, it just comes up with plain text as the email message. I don't know why or how I can change it back to the way it used to be.
I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the cmd+option launch and checking the last three boxes. Anything else I have missed out? I'm not using any email encryption software as well. Just Apple "mail".
Thanks,
Howie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your Mail preferences set for RTF formatting or just plain text? That might be the reason. Set it to RTF if it's not that already. Other than that try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.

MobileMe Album in Project List

I used to have my MobileMe album show up in my Project List when I opened Aperture, but not anymore. I can't find what I did wrong to have it dissapear. Need help configuring it back.

This has just happened to me as well. MobileMe doesn't appear as a group header at all. It appears to have done it to me after I briefly switched my MobileMe synch settings in Aperture to manual due to network issues badly impacting Aperture performance. As a result, it has lost all of my MobileMe albums, even though I have switched the synch period back onto automatic.

MobileMe albums not visible in Aperture after upgrade from iPhoto

I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture and all went well, except that my mobileme albums aren't appearing. I published a test album which worked, but my existing ones don't appear.
I've read on another thread that a dodgy character in an album name caused a similar problem but I can't see anything that looks odd in my mobileme album names.
Any ideas?

I had the exact problem and found the solution here.

Mobileme album from keywords

Can I define a mobileme album in Aperture from keywords or other metadata?
Now I define a smart album, "Italy 1951" by incorporating into it all images with the keywords "Italy" and "1951". I created a mobileme album of the same name by dragging the images from the smart album into the mobileme album.
Now, as I add images to the library with the same keywords, the smart album updates automatically. It would be most useful if the mobileme album would incorporate them as well --and update the online album at its next sync.
Can Aperture do this now?
Thanks for any help.

Upon further investigation of this new 'feature' I came upon the following.
In my above example, let's say I have my Library A open.
I can see the MobileMe albums of the other libraries (B and C) that do not belong in A.
I just clicked on a MM Album of library B and it is now synchronising the contents of this Album with my Library.
So now I have photo's of MM Albums B and C showing up INSIDE MY LIBRARY A
Good grief APPLE !
It get's even worse. The synced photo's manifest themselves inside smart folders, ilife media browser and iphone/ipad syncs !!!
I'm having genuine problems with some aspects of Aperture since version 3.0, there is an open bug in bugreporter that seems to be unsolvable, and after 8 months of bugfixing (february 3.0.1 to November 3.1) this is what they come up with ???
The worst part is that it seems this new 'feature' was intentional :
