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.

Updating sync between iphoto album and mobileme album

I have created a 'mobileme album' from an album in iphoto. However when i add a new photo to the 'iphoto album' it does automatically sync into the 'mobileme album'. Should this happen or do i need to recreate the mobileme album every time?

Neither
Just drag the new photo(s) to the MobileMe gallery in the source pane on the left under MobileMe galleries (and to the original album too as a backup) it will update automatically - do not make additional changes while it is updating - this may cause problems and duplications
MobileMe is updated when- and only when - you change the gallery in the MobileMe gallery section of your source pane.

How to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?

What is the best way to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?
I want to move it smoothly without hours of reconfiguring albums and Mobileme galleries. Already have a timemachine backup of the older iMac with the iphoto library.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

IPhoto 11 and mobileme

I'd like to know if you modify (add faces, change order, delete, edit) photos on an album which syncs with mobileme gallery will it auto syncs the changes to the mobileme gallery also?
As far as I can see when I changed the content of an album that is also published to mobileme nothing happens...
Explain: I've made some changes and after 24h period nothing happens to mm gallery (the photos that I delete doesn't delete)

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.

IPhoto - album and sub-album -

Is it possible in IPhoto to create and title a main album and have it followed by individual sum-albums? - In other words somthing like this:
ROSE (MAIN)
RED (SUB)
YELLOW (SUB)
PINK (SUB)
Thank you all for your help -

If you mean the main library shows all photos and the sub libraries show a portion of the main library, that is what events are for. You can also create or select alternate photo libraries by holding down the option key when launching iPhoto. Also see the iPhoto Library Manager app.

IPhoto-creating albums and sub-albums

is it possible to create an album with sub albums? For example, i travel to Italy and would like an album of italy but would like to organize specific tours into sub-albums.

You can NOT nest albums - read my reply
Folders hold albums and other folders - so you create an italy folder and put the spcific tour albums in it - you could have a Europe folder with Italy and other country folders in it and then albums in each - etc
Folders hold albums - albums can not hold anything except photos
Nothing in my reply said anything about putting albums in albums - you can not - it said you make folders and put albums in the folders - and you can put folders in folders
Make a Europe folder - drag the Italy album to it - then drag the Spain album to it - continue as you please

Today as i selected an album to listen to on my Iphone 5, all the song in that album and other albums by the same artist skipped quickly across the screen and deleted everything by that artist.

The exact same thing happened again when i selected another artist to listen to. This hasn't happened before, and i'm now concerned to listen to music in my Iphone incase it deletes my music again.

I've tried to ad the songs like i did before on my pc, dragging them over to my playlist or library. Since I live in Norway, I have some difficulties with transferring to english, so it be some bad spelling.
On the music that I can't get to my itunes, is a "mp3 - lyd" which in norwegian is a the same standard mp3 format. All of the files is in this format, even those that I'm able to transfer to itunes. Which is an album by an single artist.
I know that itunes does not support all formats, which is why I always make sure that all of my music has the same format.
So I will try to explain once more. Earlier today, I downloaded some new music, both albums and singles. And it's the singles I have difficulties to transfer to itunes. Neither dragging them nor by clicking "import/add" songs to library works. What happens when I try to do this, is that I get that circle thingy,(the circle who comes when the computer is working), and when it disappers, nothing happens and no files(of the singles) is transfered. And I'm going crazy, because I thought that I could do this without help, and noe I'm sitting here like a questionmark, and don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
And, first of all, thank you so much for your time, and your links Limnos. Even though they were'nt the answers for my problem, thank you:) and I hope that you with the information above, may have an answer for me, or that someone else has.

HT1711 I bought an album and the "album only" is malfunctioning. Is it possible to just get that track fixed?

I bought the Mutemath Armistice (Live) album and the only song that messed up, is Burden, which is an album only track. I was wondering if there was some way to fix the track so I can be a happy customer. Thanks.

Copying itunes/iphoto library and playlists & albums to my new macbook pro

First post so please be gentle.
Hi there, I've just brought a new macbook pro and would like to transfer all my music and photos from my old powerbook g4 onto it. Including all the playlists in itunes and albums in iphoto. I did try the mirgration assistant but that doesn't seem to be able to do it. I've already copied all the applications I wanted by connecting them by firewire but need some advice before I attempt my music and photos.
Thank you

If you're wanting to do this manually all you need to do is…
1) Copy your iTunes folder, which is in the Music folder in your home directory, to the same place in your MBP. This will include all of your music and playlists.
2) To copy your preferences you need to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist to the corresponding place in your MBP.

HT2729 I bought Andrea Bocelli's new album and only one song synced to my I phone? Why? How to fix?

I bought Andrea Bocelli's new album on itune's. It went onto my library on my computer. Only one song went onto my iphone? What up with that?

OH my god SOMEONE PLEASEE help me. I closed itunes so maybe it could work again now it looks like its never downloaded it dissapeared from my library. I went to the album it looks purchased but it doesnt have a download button. So what you basicly did is you made up a problem. You failed to help me. You stole 0,90 and still dont care to answer me back. Not community nor if there is any workers here, themselves. I wanted to support one of my favorite singers and this is what I get in return.

Albums and sub-albums

I would like to create an album ie: South Dakota and inside that heading I would like to list the places we have been ie: Mt. Rushmore, Spearfish Canyon, Reptile Gardens etc.
Can this be done? I tried to make sub-albums but did not see a way.
Thanks,
Sue

So it is better to set up everything in iPhoto first I take it.
I would thing so in order for you to know exactly which albums should be grouped together in an iWeb page. In iPhoto you can create a folder in the left hand pane and add all the albums that would related to that one, i.e. South Dakota. In that folder add all of the albums you would want to be on the SD page in iWeb.
Click to view full size
To add new photos in a new photos page, i.e. the iWeb component of iPhoto's album, you would drag them into the photo's page for that album in iWeb. You can also add them to the iPhoto album so you're synced with iWeb.
It probably would help if you made a graphical layout of the site showing the subject pages (South Dakota) and then the various photo pages below it.
This screenshot below is what the iPhoto album page that I linked to earlier looks like in iWeb. The iPhoto Album page started out as a blank layout (not an album layout) and the two photo pages were created when I dragged the two albums from iPhoto onto it via the Media Browser:

IPhoto 11 and Photo Stream not syncing

Hi all,
I'm running a MacBook Pro 2011 updated to Lion OSX 10.7.2. iPhoto has been updated to 9.2 and my iPhone has iOS 5.
iCloud is syncing my calendar, mail and iWork items with no problems. The phone and macbook are both connected to wi-fi on the same connection.
The only thing that's not working is Photo Stream.
It's turned on in the Mac settings pane and enabled on the phone. The strange thing is that if I take a screenshot on the phone or if I download a photo from the web (like wallpaper from an app), the photo will show in my photostream.
If I take a photo with the camera on the phone, it isn't being sent to the cloud.
Find My Mac, Mail, Calendar, iWork etc are all working fine. It's just this problem with the photos.
Some advice would be very much appreciated.

If you have your iPhoto/iCloud preferences set as show in this screenshot
each photo that goes into the My Photo Stream will also be imported in an Event in your library. This copy is independent of the version in the My Photo Stream. So if you delete the photo from the My Photo Stream it will still exist in the Event for the month it was taken.

[Your Music] Save artist including all albums and future albums

There should be a quick and easy way to add an artist to your collection completely—not just all their albums now, but the albums they release in the future. Then when you are browsing through Your Music later you'll discover new things from your favourite artists.

I'm new to spotify and after seeing I can add my own music, was about to subscribe. However I tested it for a bit first and was dismayed to see there's no option to add everything from an artist to my music (neither streaming nor locally). Just to clarify, it would be nice for me because I want to have all the music I like on my phone, using a big SD card, and play it all together randomly like a radio station with only artists that I like. And since I've never used spotify for real before, it would be horrible to add album by album. I just want to listen to the few artists I like, everything they have old and new as gets released! Spotify already lets me add my own music for the ones not available, save locally, create playlists and get notified about new releases. The only thing that's missing is a way to add everything from an artist.

Time on iPhone and Mobileme not in Sync

Guys,
I have a strange issue - nothing major - just strange.
The time stated I receive an email is 2 minutes ahead of the time on my phone. Is there a way I can sync both to be correct? Currently I've got the iPhone to Set Time Automatically. I know I can turn this off and set manually but thought that the auto setting would have been more accurate.
Maybe it is accurate and the problem lies with Mobileme.

In what way are they different? Minutes, or hours? Whole hours?
Are the messages coming to you from a different time zone?

.mov Files have Black Thumbnail in iPhoto '08 and MobileMe Galleries

I'm guessing this is possibly because the video starts from black and fades in? Is there any way to force iPhoto to use something other than the first frame for the thumbnail?
