IPhoto frozen when syncing with MobileMe galleries

Hello all,
I have about 30 MobileMe albums uploaded from iPhoto. I noticed that 3 seconds after i updated metadata (photo title, rating etc) of any photo in the online gallery, iPhoto freezes. I am very positive the freeze is caused by the fact that iPhoto tries to sync that change with MobileMe (the icon next to the online gallery changed to the spinning wheel)
I come from a programming background and it seems to me the freeze is caused by something like "using UI thread to do the sync and because the thread is blocked by the network I/O". I hope this is not the case because it's a very poor/half-*** design.
Does anyone have insight on how to avoid/fix this issue?

syncing with Mobile me does lock up your system - I'm guessing tha this is because until recently you could continue making changes while the update was taking place causing problems with the update
The best way is to make an album of the photos you want in the mobile me gallery, make all of your changes there and then publish the completed gallery

  • Contact Groups not showing up on Iphone when syncing with Mobileme

    My contacts show up in my address book on my Iphone but when I go to look at my groups the page is blank and I cannot get back to my contacts without closing and reopening contacts but still no groups. I want my groups to show up. I have at least 4 groups that show up on my me, and syncs fine with ipad....
    I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE with the new verizon iphone.
    Please help if anyone has

    I am having a similar issue. As is my wife. I also believe that it is a bug in the current iOS on the CDMA iPhone 4.
    It is just as you described, and I have to close Contacts completely in order to restore my access to the contacts list. And, like you, our groups show up just fine on our iPads (within minutes of making changes, as we sync over MobileMe).
    It doesn't appear to be a letter-case issue, as at least my login is in all lowercase letters.
    I sure hope that this is fixed in an iOS update soon! It's rather problematic for those of use who use their iPhones for business purposes.

  • IPhoto crashing when syncing with Facebook

    Software Version:
    iPhoto 9.1.3
    Problem:
    The sync between iPhoto and Facebook stalls indenfinetly and iPhoto will not 'Stop and Quit" the sync when quiting iPhoto, this leaves no other option then to force quit iPhoto.
    Details:
    The four albums created for Facebook in iPhoto sync fine, a number of other albums originally created on Facebook that iPhoto is now trying to sync all report as pending (indefinetly). As the Facebook sync starts whenever iPhoto is launched, the sync reduces iPhoto performance and cannont be stopped with force quitting iPhoto, the problem is making iPhoto unusable. As advertised with iPhoto it syncs with Facebook, so I cannot just delete the albums in iPhoto as they will be deleted off Facebook.
    Things not responisble:
    I have checked that these albums still exist on Facebook and (obviously) that my internet connection is active.
    Possible solutions:
    I do realise that I could remove Facebook from the Accounts in iPhoto, however this isn't really a solution as all does is reduces functionality.
    Has anyone else had the same problem or know of a fix?
    Thanks

    Aperture is suddenly, repeatedly crashing on me whenever I try to sync to Facebook.
    Has anything changed, directly before these crashes started? Could you ever sync to Facebook before, running Aperture 3.4.3, or have you just upgraded to AP 3.4.3?
    If you could sync to FB before, using the current Aperture version, can you still upload to FB and view your albums using the web interface, or can you not reach Facebook at all?
    Your crash report shows, that the crash happens, when Aperture tries to connect to Facebook to update the photos:
    3   com.apple.Foundation                    0x00007fff96d9e538 +[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:] + 60
    4   com.apple.iPhoto.FacebookPublisher          0x0000000118003047 -[ILFacebookAPIRequest send] + 61
    5   com.apple.iPhoto.FacebookPublisher          0x0000000117ffb227 -[IPHFacebookPlugin updateDistantPropertiesFromLocalPhoto:] + 318
    But I cannot tell from the information you provided, if this error is due to corrupted images in your library, a problem with your Aperture Library, or a problem with your FB account settings.
    It would help, if you could make a few tests to narrow the problem down:
    Can you publish to Facebook, if you import new images into your library and try to publish a  different set of images?
    Can you upload to Facebook, if you create a new Aperture Library for testing 
    (In Aperture: File > Switch to Library > Other/New) and import a few images. Can you publish to Facebook from this library?
    If another library works well, you need to repair your current library. Please read this page in the Aperture User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    Post back after these test - hopefully we will know more then.

    There was an earlier thread on locating a specific file type and deleting it but I was not able to correctly find the file to be deleted.

  • Problem when syncing with MobileMe

    I am using iPhone 3G, software 2.1. I use GMail for email (no problems) but my contacts, and only my contacts, sync through MobileMe.
    The problem is that with MobileMe active, my Contact list, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings and several other minor features simply do not work - they open, pause for a few seconds, then crash. The Mail application also hangs and crashes every other time I open it.
    My local Apple Store restored 2.1, after which my Contact list and Email worked perfectly until I re-activated my MobileMe syncing, after which the problems resumed.
    As the problems occurred only after MobileMe syncing is turned on, I assume this is the cause of the problem, but because "Mail, Contacts..." settings crashes every time I open it I cannot disable MobileMe syncing.
    Any suggestions please? All help gratefully received...

    This was resolved by completely removing the MobileMe account from the iPhone, rebooting it and adding the account again.

  • Double Calendar Entries when Syncing with MobileMe Cloud

    I synced up my new iPhone the other day and all of my calendar entries are doubled up on it - two entries for each. It's been syncing with my MobileMe cloud for a few days now and continues to have this problem. Funny thing is, my Calendar app on my Mac does not sync up the double entries. It only shows one, as it should be. Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    This happened to me too and I think it has to do with your phone showing your calendars from your MobileMe and then all of them again from your computer. Go to your Calendar on your iPhone and hit the "Calendars" button top left and it should give you options to select "All Calendars" or "From My Mac" or "MobileMe". I ended up having "All Calendars" selected and it showed both, Computer & MobileMe at the same time so it looked like I doubled everything.
    Let me know if this works or if I screwed up on my syncing or preferences somehow.

  • Strange behaviour syncing with MobileMe Galleries

    Hi all. Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find this exact problem I'm having.
    I have a few galleries that I sync to and it all works fine except if I ad to a bunch of photos it seems to then upload everything all over again. So if I have a gallery with say 30 photos in it and using Aperture I add another 5, it will synchronise and then upload 35 optimised images. It takes quite a long time to do this, and it all seems a bit pointless.
    Am I missing something here or is this just a bug? I'm on the latest version of everything too btw.

    It's a bug. I have an issue where if you cancel in the middle of these endless syncs it only loads a portion of the photos. For example the gallery contains 50, I add 5, get tired of waiting for the upload of 55, when I check later I only have 25 photos left in the gallery. I assume they delete everything before loading everything.
    Notice also every time you select the gallery object (not the radio icon) it does a full update, changes the order to manual and the key photo to first in the list.

  • When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?

    When I receive appointments by email and accept them they go into the enourage "on my mac" ical calendar which is not synced with mobileme.  How do I change where appointments are put ?
    Or how can I choose where the appointment is put ?
    I use the mobileme sync services so the ical calendars that are synced are those in the "[email protected]" group.
    Please help !
    Nick

    Actually you can't drag the appointment to ano calendar - its says "You can’t make changes to this invitation., Only the organiser can change this event"
    Also if you double click on the received appointment and open the window the only calendars shown that you can select are the 'on my mac" ones, and not the sync'd ones.
    Any ideas welcome !!

  • Address Book won't sync with MobileMe - inconsistent data!

    I recently began getting 'Inconsistent Data' messages when I sync with MobileMe for my Address Book. I have always had an auto sync and never had this issue. I am told to reset the MobileMe data from another computer - which I have tried to do but with similar error results.
    My most recent data is on MobileMe...I have so far failed to sync this data set with what's on my Mac Platforms.
    I have tried to resort to merge data or erase data on this computer from the sync options dialogue box, but still end up with "inconsistent data. Try resetting your data on MobileMe".
    I'm afraid that if I did that, then I will lose all my current data on MobileMe - which is the most recent, since most of my input for my contacts is made directly from my iPhone or iPad (both of which are syncing correctly).
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I have the exact same problem but have not been able to get my computers to sync with contacts although my iphone and Ipad are working perfectly. I tried deleting all my contacts in both mobileme and locally and tried to sync but was unsuccessful and still get the inconsistent data message. I hope someone can help us.

  • CalDAV syncing with MobileMe

    Our company uses a corporate gmail account so has about 15 different calendars. I've set up the account and delegates in iCal. But when I sync with MobileMe, I get nothing on my online calendar. The addresses and bookmarks are syncing so I'm pretty sure I'm connecting. Any ideas?

    New updates appear to have solved the issue.

  • I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • Events from iCal changes when synced with phone :-((

    Hi! I've just bought a bluetooth adapter so I can sync my phone with ical. I'm convinced this will bring me one step closer to a digital synchronized heaven, but (of course) I encountered a problem:
    When I have added an event to my phone (Sony Ericsson T610) and syncs the calendar with my laptop (iBook G4 933 MHz), the event is "postponed" by two hours. For example: I have an appointment with - say - Pamela Anderson from 12:00 to 15:00 which I add to my phone. When syncing with iCal, the event has changed to 14:00-17:00.
    When I add the event to my laptop first, and then syncs it with the phone - the time of the event is set two hours earlier . To take my great example again, the event would then appear to be from 10:00-13:00.
    I've gone through all preferences etc. I can find in both iCal, iSync and on the phone. I've found no help online either... Does anyone have a clue? If so, please give me a hint on what to do, I would be immensely grateful!

    I was convinced that my time zone was GMT, but when I checked it was GMT +2 hrs, which solved my problem! Thank you so much Julian for helping me solve this, I cant wait to start a synced life

  • Missing a calendar in iCal after syncing with MobileMe....

    i am having some problems with iCal ...i am missing one my Calendars in iCal and wasn't sure how to get it back. I downloaded the calendars file and calendar.plist from my Time Machine backup...the missing calendar showed up at first, but it seemed to disappear right away (i assume after syncing with MobileMe.) Not sure what would be the easiest way to bring it back.......

    It's possible to restore from Time Machine, though it's a slightly complicated process. Please follow very carefully the steps described here:

  • Itunes 10.6.1.7 keeps crashing when syncing with the new Ipad

    Glad to find this forum!
    It's been a disappointing and frustrating week for me as I have tried to sync my new ipad with itunes 10.6.1.7. Itunes keeps crashing without reasons when syncing either apps, music or videos. Btw, I am using Windows XP SP3.
    So far, I have not been able to play any videos because Itunes always crashes.
    I have tried to re-install Itunes for more than 5 times [with fresh install] but the problem still occurs. I have also tried to downgrade to Itunes 10.5.3 as suggested in the other threads but Itunes still crashes. This only happens when syncing with the new Ipad.
    I have an Ipod Nano which works great on both version of Itunes.
    I am really disappointed because I can't watch movies and/or listen to music on my new ipad because it keeps crashing.
    My wish is just simple. I just want to be able to watch movies and listen to my music on my new ipad. Sadly, this is not possible yet.
    Can anyone help?

    I get the exactly the same problem with win 7, i rang apple support who suggested i try another machine/or create another account on my machine???? why should i, stupid ipad 3rd gen is now sitting here un syncable, apple support ....tut tut very poor support, its a shame im out of the 7 day period otherwise this ipad would be going straight back, older versions of itunes worked fine, some one must know a fix for this??

  • IPhone loses play counts when syncing with iTunes

    I would like to repeat the question from this thread, which has mistakenly been marked "answered".
    When syncing with iTunes, not all play counts are transferred into iTunes. When I turn the iPhone off, it even forgets the complete list of played songs (it is even deleted from iTunes itself).

    I have similar problem. Played podcasts becomes UNPLAYED after synch with iTune.

  • Iphone5 crash when syncing with itunes

    My iTunes (11) crashes every time when syncing with my iPhone 5 though it's never happened before.

    I had done all of that to no avail.  I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again.  I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped.  Everything is good to go again.  thanks for  your reply
