IPhoto not syncing with MobileMe Gallery

I took a lot of pictures this past weekend and for the past three days have been trying to get them on my MobileMe Gallery. Every time I try to publish, it starts going - looks like normal - and then an error pops up saying something about not being able to access or publish to the server or something. It is dirivng me crazy! In some cases, half an event will publish and in some cases, no pictures in an event will publish at all. I am using the latest version of leopard, and the latest version of iPhoto. I have a full .mac / MobileMe account and it has plenty of available space. Can anyone help me? I have pictures of my friends' baby that she wants to see and I can't show her..

This fix was for another issue, emails, but has help iWeb users in getting published to MMe. A long shot but might work for you:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. *Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord.* For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • 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 !!

  • IPhone Contacts & Calendars not syncing with mobileme

    Apologies if there is a solution to this posted already, I can't find it despite extensive searching!
    My iPhone Calendars & Contacts do not sync with MobileMe. I can't find a way of exporting or saving the data on the iPhone and importing it into my desktop iCal & Contacts apps.
    I have looked at all troubleshooting help I can find, and all is suggested is deleting/ resetting the phone & syncing from MobileMe. However, if I do this I will lose lots of contacts & calendar entries.
    The data will NOT sync from my phone despite following all available instructions. My desktop apps are all set to sync with MobileMe & this works fine, it's just the iPhone data will not transfer to MobileMe.
    Please help!!

    Since you are syncing your iPhone with your Mac, it should be syncing your contacts and calendars with your Mac as well (and your bookmarks if you have it set up to sync). You should have Mobile Me setup on your Mac to at least sync your Calendars and Contacts, which should be updating your Mobile Me account. If you want to check to make sure that all of your contacts that are on your iPhone are on your Mac, simply open up the Contacts App. Once you check this, add your Mobile Me account to your iPhone and let it sync your contacts and calendars, it will delete all the contacts and calendars that are currently on your iPhone, but the same data is on your Mac anyways. Once Mobile Me syncs with your iPhone you won't have to worry about it anymore.
    If you are having problems where you already setup your Mobile Me account on your iPhone and it's not syncing properly, deleted it, restart your iPhone, then add it again.
    Does this help?

  • ICal not syncing with MobileMe

    I know there have been other posts on this, but I have tried them all and cannot figure this out. MobileMe is syncing with my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.2) but it is not syncing with my MacBook under my current user profile. I created a new profile as a test and it synced with no issues. I have tired signing out and back into my MobileMe account, deleting the calendar cache, deleting the calendar folder, reinstalling ical, etc. I cannot figure this out and I am feeling my only option left is to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Any help on this?

    For whatever reason, iCal has suddenly "come back to life for me." I did a backup and restore (did not by itself seem to solve the problem), then Reset Sync History, then rebooted my MBP, then Reset Sync History again, and then initiated a manual sync in the MobileMe control panel. Voila! iCal populated with the MobileMe data, and it appears that not only did iCal receive data, it also sent updates of its own on over to MM and thereby to my phone. We'll see if the reliability of the MM "ecosystem" under 10.5.5 gets, well, more reliable.

  • Address book not syncing with mobileme

    I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15' and being new to Mac I'm stuck for sure. My mobile me account (which I have had for years) will  not sync the Address book. I'm worried if I sync my iphone or ipad I will loose everything.
    Please help- what am I doing wrong - all the settings seem to be right .

    I wish I had an answer for you. Typically it works just fine, but I noticed today some of my contacts were not syncing with my MacMini nor my iPhone, but my iPad my web-version of MobileMe appear to be synched. I think there is a problem with the system.

  • Iphotos not sync with Touch

    iphotos has stopped syncing with Touch and ipad. Error message reads: "required file cannot be found".
    Spent HOURS with Apple and tried:
    1. delete cache
    2. hard and soft resets
    3. sync one photo - yes = Touch not the problem therefore iphoto the problem
    4. tried restore from Time Machine
    5. sometimes I get it working then it stops again.
    So I deleted the program and paid £9 to download new version from Apps. Still no good!
    Has anyon any ideas. Am so fed up
    With thanks

  • Iphone not syncing with MobileMe

    Today, I noticed that my iphone (3G latest firmware) is no longer syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks etc with MobileMe. I have tried everything, including hard reset of iphone, deleting and re-adding my mail, contact account in the iPhone settings. I've checked both my computers and they are both syncing OK to mobileme, and in find my iphone it shows my iphone is online and can find it...
    I have for the time being had to revert to manual syncing on iTunes of my contacts, calendars etc.
    I've exhausted all idea's for what the problem is or how to fix it, anyone out there got any idea's?

    I too had issues with MM and my iPhone syncing.
    MM won't sync/push to iCal / Address Book apps and won't sync to my iPhone 4 as well.
    I don't know if this might help you guys but this is what I did and everything is peachy again.
    1. Backup your iCal & Address Book (IMPORTANT)
    2. Go to Settings > MobileMe > Sync (tab) > Advanced > select your computer and click on Stop Syncing Computer.
    3. In Settings, proceed to Sharing > Change your computer Name to something else.
    4. Restart your Mac.
    5. Plug your iPhone to the dock.
    6. In iTunes, do a restore to the latest firmware and have it set to its default factory settings.
    7. Restore your phone. (I chose a backup a couple days ago from the drop down menu, when things were still working)
    8. After the restore is done, on your iPhone, proceed to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > DELETE your MobileMe account and ENSURE that you delete off all its data.
    9. Once done. On your Mac, proceed to Settings > MobileMe. Now sync your Mac with MobileMe. Choose to either Merge, Your Mac supersede MM or the other way around.
    10. After that is done. On your iPhone, re-create your MobileMe account and select the services your want to sync.
    It solved my problem. Hope it'll solve yours.
    Its about 410a.m here and my apologies for any typos.

  • Iphoto not syncing with itunes

    I am having trouble syncing my photos and videos from Iphoto onto Itunes and then in turn onto my Iphone 5. Itunes does not sync all of the videos and photos, I only get some events from Iphoto onto my phone and no videos at all.
    What is the best solution?

    iPhoto 9.1.5 not syncing albums to iPhone and iPad correctly, lots of missing photos.
    Solution for me was find the iphoto library then control click on iphoto library and select 'show package contents'. Move folder named 'iPod photo cache' to the trash (just leave in trash till happy all is working).
    Now try again to sync selected albums from iPhoto to iPhone or iPad using iTunes - you will need to reselect iphoto to sync from and reselect the required albums and then click sync. It takes longer than usual first time as a new 'iPod photo cach' folder is being built.
    Once you are happy you can empty your trash.

  • Pictures in iPhoto not syncing with 3rd gen Nano

    Hi, I posted this in the iPod discussions area also but thought someone here may have the answer.
    Hi all. When I go to sync pictures in iPhoto to my 4gig 3rd gen Nano, not all the picture are recognized. One album with 30 pics in it, only 3 are synced. this is happening in iTunes even before I hit the sync button. I have 1650 pictures in the total library but only 1495 are seen by iTunes and the Nano. Any thoughts ? thanks in advance.

    I confirm this problem.
    Since I have a iPod Classic and for a few days a iPod nano 3rd gen, I can pre-sets station on the 80GB and not on the nano.
    I suspect that the problem is not coming from the radio accessory but the nano.

    This is a long shot but try this:
    1 - go to your System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of your MMe account.
    2 - try logging in with a bad user name and password to clear the caches.
    3 - now log in with your correct user name and password.
    4 - launch iPhoto, select your MMe galleries one at a time and click on the publish button
    5 - check your online galleries to see if they can not be viewed.

  • Sync project, album or smart album with MobileMe gallery?

    Is there any way to sync a project, album or smart album with MobileMe gallery? It would be nice to have changes in one, reflect changes in the other. Thanks

    make sure your inspector is visible on the left hand side press i to toggle on and off. You will see folders and projects that you have made in there. You can simply right click on a folder or project and select New from selection > MobileMe Album this will send all pictures in that album up to your mobileme Cloud for viewing. You can also select just some of the pictures in your main View screen again right click on them and the same as above. If you put more pictures into that folder etc on the mac you will see again in the inspector a icon and the text MobileMe gallery, to the right hand side of the text you will see a icon that looks like a wireless symbol just click on it to re-sync. You can also re-sync by going to prefs in aperture clicking on Mobileme and then click on the tab Check for new photos this works both ways.

  • How to setup automatic sync to mobileme gallery from iphoto?

    i uploaded an album from iphoto to my gallery and the next day i added 2 pictures to that album in iphoto and they were not synced to my gallery?

    Once you create the iPhoto MMe gallery the Album you originally used is not longer linked to it.
    You need to copy the new photos from wherever in the library they are and paste them into the gallery album that you access in the Web section at the left.
    Click to view full size
    That will cause the new photos to automatically be synced online.

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with iphoto

    Iphone four will not sync with iphoto, error message appears. any suggestions?

    Currently downloading upgrades from the "Software Updates" so hopefully that will help,
    Which updates are these?  For iPhoto or for you phone's operating system?
    If you plan on upgrading iPhoto it will require a purchase of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com
    or
    upgrading your MBP to Mavericks and downloading the latest version, 9.5, from the App Store for free.

    Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme.  Why do they not sync with Icloud

    MobileMe used SyncServices, part of the System, to sync contacts. iCloud uses a different protocol and evidently Quickbooks can't work with this.
