Importing Mobileme Gallery

Is there any way to import an existing mobile me folder into Aperture 3.0? I have several previously created galleries that I want in Aperture.

Thanks from me too. I was wondering why all of my old MobileMe Galleries were no longer showing up in Aperture 3, but new galleries published since upgrade were showing up.
I clicked "Check Now" in Aperture prefs web next to sync manually and that imported them all back into Aperture which is still in progress. Although I'm confused as why it's taking so long to import the references back into Aperture 3. The Galleries on MobileMe were already set to sync to Aperture.
Looks like the imported galleries are still pointed to the old referenced files so I think everything is okay. I guess I'll check library and file sizes after import in complete to verify that I don't have duplicate files after the import.

Import mobileme gallery from iphoto

Does anyone know how to make Aperture import all my mobileme galleries from iPhoto? The import feature from iphoto brings over all my events and albums, but doesn't address my 20 mobileme galleries or my facebook galleries. How can this be? How can I get those galleries into Aperture 3?

There's a way, but it's not working properly for me. Read what i wrote about it on this thread.

Is there a way to import photos into iPhoto '11 from MobileMe Gallery?

I am soon to take a trip with a digital camera, iPad2 and camera connection kit. I know I can store a great many photos on my iPad during the trip. I have a MobileMe account, so I know I can export the photos to the Gallery easy enough. I would like to know if, when I return home to my iMac, there is a way to import those photos directly into iPhoto from the MobileMe Gallery. If yes, then I can delete the photos from the iPad2 periodically as they mount up, knowing they are safe in the Gallery and available for further use in iPhoto and elsewhere. If no, then the Gallery is really of little use to me and I won't spend the time uploading to the Gallery.
My apologies in advance as I am also posting this exact question in the MobileMe forum.
I depart very soon and hope the Community here can offer some quick advice! Thanks!

If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.

Import Others' pictures uploaded to my mobileme gallery

I've successfully created a Mobileme gallery and have allowed others to uploads pics to it. Is there an easy way to import pictures other have uploaded into Aperture? When I sync the gallery I see those pics in Aperture but they don't appear to actually be imported.

PhotoStream feature in iCloud solves my issue posted last August.
Thanks to Apple for the update

IWeb won't import MobileMe galleries

hi there,
apple claims that iweb can import albums that are published on the mobileme-gallery. however, I created an album via aperture and published it (worked fine), then created a website in iWeb and tried the "insert -> mobileme gallery ->" (hope that's right, using the german version)menu, but everything's blanked out: "no albums or films available"
hm?

There's a problem with Aperture galleries and iWeb. Also password protected iPhoto galleries will not display in the Widget menu. You need to publish them unprotected and then add the password.
If you want to have the gallery embedded in your web page use an HTML Snippet and iFrame code like I've done in this demo page. You can set embedded portion to go directly to the mosaic mode as I've done with it or to the normal grid mode. All it requires is using the right URL for the mode you want. The code used is also shown.

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.

Hyperlinks in MobileMe Gallery?

Is it possible to include hyperlinks anywhere in the descriptions of photos in MobileMe Gallery (or in iPhoto photo descriptions), that will get uploaded to MobileMe Gallery? Or is iWeb my only choice to achieve this?
Thanks!
Kenneth

No.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

No captions in MobileMe gallery?

Is there no way to publish a MobileMe gallery with pics that have captions underneath them? I wrote the captions in the info pane of each pic in iPhoto, but when I published, the captions were not there. I hope I'm missing something, because not being able to post captions is ridiculous.

MM:
There is a way to do what you want. It involves running an Applescript that replaces the photo's title with the captions before you publish. You can then revert the titles back to the file names with the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name menu option.
The Applescript can be found here (be sure to read the comments to the post to catch the error in the script): An AppleScript to copy iPhoto Description to Name

Mobileme gallery in iPhoto, strange behavior

Frequently but not always, I open iPhoto and the items in my Mobileme Gallery have the rotating upload ikon as if uploading. iPhoto is slow and behaves erratically. I force quit and when I start again iPhone works normally and all items in the Gallery have the broadcast ikon. What's the problem?
Milan

Do you have your MobileMe gallery setup so others can upload to it? If so then iPhoto is checking the site to update the gallery in iPhoto.

Updating Mobileme Gallery with iPhoto Library

I have been using my mobileme gallery to publish photos and to let my friends upload their photos as well. The problem is that when they upload their photos, I am able to see them in my Mobileme gallery, but I am not able to import them to my Library in order to update my events. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? The only solution I've found is to create a new folder on my desktop, copying the contents of the mobileme folder and then importing them to my library through the import function. This is not a very practical solutiion and I doubt I'm doing it correctly.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There has been numerous reports of problems with Tell a Friend and iPhoto. You can try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again but it's iffyl
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Mobileme gallery - pictures in wrong order?

Hi,
I recently made a Mobileme gallery in iPhoto and published it. About 407 pictures and 2 movies.
It published, then I changed a few things, republished - and then the order of some of the pictures changed.
Just for the **** of it, I deleted 4 pictures (thinking maybe it has a 500 picture limit??) and all pictures went to the right order!
Then once or twice again, when I changed a picture or two, the order changes on a few pictures.
Very puzzling. And yes, I did refresh the Safari web page - but that didn't help.
Anyone know what's going on? Sometimes, the order of the photos is important.
Thanks,
Larry

Thank you, Apearl,
Hmmmm . . . I've been so busy i almost forgot about this one! Let's see - good idea to rebuild library. I did reset Safari - but if memory serves me, I had 503 images in that library - just for the **** of it, I deleted a few of them, bringing it to 495 or so. Republished, then cleared the cache of Safari (I think) the problem solved itself. Im wondering if there is a limit of pictures of 500, and that solved it? Or maybe just republishing with a few less??
Who knows, but the problem seems to have solved itself. But thank you for confirming what I thought good procedure should be, and confirming there's nothing I've missed.

Portrait oriented photos are not sync'ed to MobileMe gallery

I've tried to upload some pictures of an event to my MobileMe account:
I've selected the photos, clicked on MobileMe and selected the option to allow downloads.
The photos get synced but those photos that were originally taken in portrait mode (and autorotated by the camera or iPhoto) didn't show up in my MobileMe gallery! Also, those missing photos are still flagged as "not yet sync'ed" in the iPhoto preview of the shared gallery. If I disable the option to allow downloads, all photos are uploaded correctly.
Interestingly, it does not help to rotate the portrait photos to landscape mode, they still don't get synced. And landscaped photos that are rotated to portrait are synced normally. It only affects those photos that were originally taken in portrait mode.
(In case it helps: I used a Canon EOS 450D to take those pictures.)
Best regards,
RaCha

RaCha2:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There should be no problem using autorotated photos in a web gallery. This test gallery is composed entirely of auto-rotated photos from a Canon SD700 and all uploaded and displayed as expected. .
First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and publish again. Next, if needed, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
You don't want to convert to gifs as they only support 256 colors and would make your photo look poorly.

MobileMe Gallery + Smart Folder; why doesn't it automatically update?

I used to use Photocasting on iPhoto 6. This worked great in that I published a photocast of a smart folder and any new items that matched the smart folder were automatically published.
I upgraded to iPhoto '08 specifically so that people could subscribe to an album via RSS and have it work on any computer.
Unfortunately, with iPhoto '08 the MobileMe Gallery doesn't seem to remember that it was based on a smart folder and I have to manually add additional pictures to publish in the MobileMe Gallery.
What am I missing? All I want is to have a smart folder automatically publish all new matches to an RSS feed for my friends & family to see new pics.
Please advise as to how anyone is able to accomplish this.

MobileMe galleries are separate from the album that you initially use to create them. Any photo added to the album also has to be manually added to the gallery. It's the nature of the beast. You can put in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

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.

Uploading Photos to MobileMe Gallery results in "Request to Server Failed"

Hello everyone!
I've run across a very frustrating problem.
I am wanting to upload some photos to a MobileMe gallery from within iPhoto '08 (Version 7.1.4; Mac OS X 10.4.11). When I start the upload, it runs for several minutes and the progress bar appears with the message "Uploading Thumbnails". After several minutes of this (usually the progress bar gets about 1/4 of the way through), I get an error message that says "Request to Server Failed". If I try to then restart the upload by clicking on the alert icon next to the gallery name in the sidebar, the gallery disappears.
I have tried deleting the iPhoto caches from ~/Library/Caches and the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file from ~/Library/Preferences. I have logged out of MobileMe from System Preferences and had iPhoto log me back in. Nothing seems to work. I keep getting this error.
I have published photos to .Mac Gallery in the past (but not since the transition to MobileMe. Those galleries are still there on the web and listed in the sidebar. I'm afraid of messing with them though for fear that they too will disappear.
I've done Google searches and searches here on Apple Discussions and found no definite solutions.
I could really use some help on this one. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

How many galleries do you have? If only a few try deleting them manually from the iDisk/Web/Sites/_gallery folder and republish from iPhoto.
