HT5132 Aperture, MobileMe locking

No matter what I do, the process never completes and Aperture locks up. Oddly, I have no web MobileMe Gallery and never have. Online advice that I found does not solve the problem. How do I totally get rid of MobileMe and get my Aperture back?

Probably MobileMe is enabled in the Aperture Preferences Web panel.
Quit (if necessary, force quit) Aperture.
Before you launch it again, disable your internet connection - disable Wi-Fi or disconnect your ethernet.
Then launch Aperture.
From the Aperture main meu bar select: File > Web Accounts > Edit Web Accounts
In the "Web" panel select "MobileMe" and press the "-" button.
Quit Aperture.
Now you can enable your Internet Connection again.
As a precaution: If you force quit Aperture, rebuild your Library:

  • HT5132 Aperture mobileme migrating message problem

    I keep getting this message every time I open Aperture. How can I get it to stop?

    That is not the normal behaviour. By now Aperture should have stopped nagging, since you cannot download your content any longer.
    When the message appears, click the "Learn more" button, not the o.k. button.
    In Aperture, open the Preferences and go to the "Web" tab. If you still see "MobileMe" in the "Accounts" pane, remove the account.
    If you do not see "MobileMe" in the "Accounts" pane, but Aperture is prompting you to migrate nevertheless, quit Aperture, open your User Library and clear the Caches (the library is hidden:
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu to open it: Click "GO" and hold down the "Options" key, until "Library" appears in the drop-down menu - select it)  and navigate to the "Caches" folder.
    Remove the file "mmsunset.plist" to the Desktop. This file tells Aperture how long to prompt for "MobileMe". Maybe it is corrupted.
    If this still does not suffice remove your preferences from the user library (you home folder ~
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist), and try again. After removing the preferences file, you will have to reset all preferences you set using the preferences panel however.

  • Aperture, MobileMe, AppleTV...Which Forum?

    Hopefully this forum will work for me...
    Anyone else having issues with Aperture images published to MobileMe that don't show up on AppleTV? Or at least gives you trouble on AppleTV?
    First of all the MobileMe albums don't show up UNLESS I publish an image via iPhoto. It's like iPhoto "pushes" the Aperture images through. When I publish one photo via iPhoto, my Aperture/MobileMe albums show up. Un-publish the iPhoto image and the Aperture albums disappear from AppleTV.
    THEN..... when I get the Aperture/MobileMe albums to show up (because I published one from iPhoto), AppleTV won't allow me to view them because it keeps telling me the login-in formation is incorrect--but it's not. I have the albums protected and locked on MobileMe and that's why I have to enter it on AppleTV. Whatever, I cannot view my MobileMe albums on AppleTV at all, no matter what I do. I will also post to the other forums, but I wanted to see if anyone here is familiar with this issue.
    I hope this makes sense. Any help, anyone?

    Not 100% about this solution but from what I've read this could be one solution if it's more important to show the images on TV more immediately.
    1. Eye-Fi cards all now have direct mode which enables them to automatically transmit jpeg (Connect X2) and jpeg / RAW (Pro X2).
    2. If you had a Nikon D7000 with dual card slots, you could save a RAW file to one card for importing into Aperture later and save a jpeg to the Eye-Fi card slot for wireless distribution.
    3. You can wirelessly send the jpegs to an iPad2 from the Eye-Fi card using Direct Mode.
    4. With an iPad2 you can mirror the iPad's screen onto an Apple TV (the small black ones) and therefore as soon as the jpeg is sent to your iPad it can be viewed instantly and automatically on your Apple TV.
    5. This should also work for jpegs if you have a D90 but I'm not too sure about what happens if you shoot RAW and jpeg on the D90.
    It's a possible solution and food for thought anyway...

  • Aperture mobileme

    My Aperture is locked searching MobileMe

    Quit Aperture - force quit if necessary .
    Launch Aperture again.
    When the "Mobilee Me" panel appears, press the "Learn more" button, not o.k.
    Then use the "File > Web Accounts > Manage Web Accounts" menu entry from Aperture's main menu bar and remove "MobileMe" from the list of accounts in the accounts pane by pressing "-".
    Afterwards sign out of Mobile Me from the "System Preferences > Mobile Me" panel.
    If this does not work, disconnect the internet (Wi-fi, Ethernet, whatever you have), before you launch Aperture. Now the panel should no longer appear.
    Good luck

    P.S. Instead of Force Quitting

  • HT5132 Aperture and the end of MobileMe

    I have no MobileMe albums,
    I switched to iCloud and still everytime time Aperture bothers me with "MobileMe has been discontinued" with a choice between "learn more" OR "ok".
    OK hangs Aperture.
    Found the answer in the "Preferences", "Web"

    You should have added the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the MobileMe feed while you had the chance. As this is no longer possible, your only option is to email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to transfer iTunes' attentions to the new feed. Give them the iTunes Store URL, and the URLs of both feeds. I can't guarantee they will do this, but they have for others. Unfortunately your existing subscribers won't be notified of the change (as they would have silently been with the redirection tag) so for them it will just stop working.

  • HT5132 Aperture keeps trying to move a nonexistent  Mobile Me album

    Ever time I open Aperture I get a "Moving MobileMe albums" window. Nothing else happens but Aperture lock up.

    Lex,
    try to remove Aperture's User preferences file from the User Library:
    The user preferences are hidden by default; reveal them from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Quit Aperture, if it is running (or hanging):
    Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
    In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
    From the "Preferences" folder  remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
    Then try to launch Aperture again.

  • Aperture/MobileMe quality

    I recently purchased Aperture and have created 2 MobileMe albums.
    The problem I am having is the quality of the MM gallery. The pics look pretty bad. A lot of noise, artifacts, banding in the sky, etc. Also when I click on the photo info button in my gallery, all of the metadata is gone. No camera, no shutter, aperture etc. Another problem is under the file info it says the file size is only 75-145k.
    I am not sure what exactly is going on. Is it an Aperture problem, or a MM problem that I can fix. Are there quality settings I can't find? It seems that it is uploading the thumbs only. I am at a loss.
    I didn't have these problems with other galleries created in iPhoto 08, but that was done a while ago so I don't know if something changed in MM or what.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Aperture and iPhoto compress the JPEGS even further as part of MobileMe integration. In the Gallery it is unavoidable. One way to get around it, you need to publish to Web Pages/Journals at high rez displays and default Preview JPEG settings.
    Follow the instructions here:

  • Aperture, MobileMe and Syncing

    I use MobileMe Galleries via Aperture a lot. Occasionally however, I will upload a gallery only to discover that I left out a photo or two. I will add the new photo to the gallery in Aperture and click the sync button, but it will start reloading the entire gallery all over again rather than the photos I just added. I feel certain that I'm missing something here. Is there a way to do that?

    I found this thread because I just Googled this situation. I am waiting here (hours) for my MobileMe gallery to "sync" from Aperture because I just made a minor change to the gallery.
    I've discovered that any minor change whatsoever to the gallery will cause Aperture to re-upload the entire album to MobileMe.
    This is re-tarded. Apple, please fix this.

  • Aperture - MobileMe, filesize changes from ca3MB to 300kb in Gallery!

    I´m trying to upload some selected pictures from my projects to my new MobileMe Gallery - without success...
    My problem:
    I have tried every option in the "File" "New from selection" "To MobileMe" but only a few/or none of the pictures are on my gallery as fullsized originals. Only when first exporting them to a folder and uploading them manually I have success.
    Why will the automatic upload work?
    I have a ADSL-4Mbit connection.

    There are a lot of limitations with web galleries one of them is lack of control over what the downloadable image is and what color profile it is (always AdobeRGB) the only options that you have are JPG original size which appears to be reprocessed using a set of parameters that you can not control, the original size seems to be the original pixel dimensions not file size. The other option is optimized or optimized in addition to your master. It is no surprise to me that the downloadable JPGs that you are referring to are different that something else that you are looking at. The question is what exactly are you comparing them to? Original JPG shot in camera? - They will be very different (except for the master if you have that option enabled) JPGs that you export using a setting of your own? - These will be different too - You have no control over the export settings that Aperture uses for mobileme web galleries.
    So what are you comparing to what?

  • Move Aperture Library, Locks Up

    I bought 2 1.5 TB GoFlex for Mac drives in order to store and backup my very large photo collection. Hooked one of them up using the firewire and transferred all my photos in Aperture using the "relocate masters" tool. It was easy and worked worked well. However, now I have these problems:
    1. Aperture is constantly "processing" something and after it does that for maybe 15 min, the computer locks up
    2. If I stop the processing, it's just a matter of time before lockup happens anyway
    3. switch to USB cable makes no difference, still locks up
    4. No problems if I disconnect the GoFlex. Computer functions normally.
    So I am not sure if this is a problem with Aperture or the external drive. If I keep Aperture closed, I can access the GoFlex and see all my photos and it works fine. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    It is possible that Spotlight is indexing your files. Have you tried Disk Utility > Repair Disk?

  • Aperture MobileMe Galleries not showing in iWeb widget. iPhoto Gallery does

    Is this a know problem? The galleries I've created in Aperture are not available to select. The iPhoto web gallery shows up immediately in the iWeb menu.

    Have you set Aperture to share the Previews with the iLife apps.
    Aperture -> Preferences -> Previews and check the box at 'Share Previews with iLife and iWork'.

  • HT3805 Lately Aperture 3 locks up and......

    sometimes wont let me look at pics, and never opens up when trying to send a pic via email.... any tips

    We're going to need a few more details before we can figure out what's going on. First off, what version of Aperture do you have? What email client are you using? When you say that Aperture's not letting you look at pics, is it not letting you open up the library? Is it not showing specific photos?

  • Aperture keeps locking up when I open it.

    I have already turned off Faces and Places. I'm about to trash this software and purchase something that works.
