Is a static MobileMe gallery possible?

Hi.
Is it possible to make a static MobileMe gallery? I would love to make the gallery, publish it, and then remove the pictures from iPhoto (on my MacBook).
Normally I travel with my MacBook and download the pics into Aperture. Usually every 3-4 months I've been moving the masters to my MacPro but have had to leave the images on my MacBook (in iPhoto) to prevent the gallery from emptying itself.
Any thoughts?

Is it possible....to save photos from the MobileMe Gallery?

I lost my hard-drive several months back & many photos. However, there are some photos in my MobileMe gallery that were not able to be saved from my old hard-drive... Is there an easy way to pull these photos from the MobileMe Gallery onto my 'new' hard-drive? I have already changed to iCloud (if that makes a difference). Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes. There's a new photo sharing site, ZangZing, that can import photos from MobileMe Galleries into albums. The site allows 2 GB space free like Dropbox.
Just enter the URL for the gallery and import. You'll get something like this for each gallery:
You can mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites/_galleries folder on your Desktop and drag each numbered subfolder onto your Desktop. All of you photos will be in those subfolders within other subfolders. Each photo will have 3 versions. If you setup the gallery so visitors could download the photos each photo subfolder will have the full sized image file in it. There will be 3 versions, medium, web and large. The large.jpg will the the file you will want to keep. However, you will have to rename each large.jpg file to match the actual file name.

Possible to resize movie inserted from MobileMe gallery?

I have a movie I've published to my MobileMe gallery using iMovie. It's "medium" size and plays about something like 5 x 7 inches. But when I insert it into my iWeb page, it is reduced to about 3 x 3.5 inches or so. Why? And is there any way to resize it?
What I really want to do is give the page visitor a small skimmable thumbnail to click on and then have it expand to full size, like in the MobileMe gallery.
Thanks, and be gentle - iWeb newbie here.

I don't know about upsizing the movie but you could put it in the iWeb page in a different way and have it open in its own window, sized just for the movie, to play. See the movie example in this demo page.

Automating creation of MobileMe Gallery from audio files in iTunes

Hi
I am wanting to create a MobileMe Gallery of a few songs in my iTunes library. The only option to do this is to wrap MP3 files in a .mov container as MobileMe gallery doesn't support audio files. I have worked out all the necessary steps to do this and would now like to automate the process. Here is the sequence I follow manually:
1. Select tracks in iTunes
2. Convert these Apple Lossless files to MP3
3. Add MP3 files to playlist
4. For each track in playlist:
5. Convert album image (.jpg) in album folder to max 640 width (so movies will play on iPhone)
6. Open resulting image in Quicktime Pro
7. Open Audio File in Quicktime Pro
8. Copy Image and Paste into Audio File in Quicktime Pro
9. Share File to Email using Quicktime Pro (this is the best way I've found of creating a small .mov file which just creates a container the same size as the image file and the audio file - presumably there's a way of exporting in the same way)
10. Drag .mov file created from Email created to MobileMe Gallery in iPhoto.
11. Repeat for each track
So I am looking for a way of automating this as much as possible, and wondering if applescript or automator would be the best way to go.
Ideally I would also like the script/automation to be able to create a .mov file slideshow of all images in the album folder (sometimes there is more than one image there), dividing the number of images by the length of the track (perhaps using the 'Add to selection and scale' feature in Quicktime Pro).
Finally one issue I am experiencing - converting the image file to max width 640 does allow the movie file to be played in the MobileMe Gallery from an iPhone, but the file that opens in the Movie Player on the iPhone doesn't show the image(s) in the .mov file, it just plays the audio. I wonder why this is happening?
Any advice on any of this would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Nick

MobileMe Gallery features in iweb?

I have started to create a Family website using iWeb and want to be able to allow family members to upload and download pictures to their own albums on the site. It looks like a MobileMe Gallery would provide that type of functionality, but I do not have a MobileMe account and can no longer sign up for one. Is their anything in iWeb or iCloud that would provide this same type of functionality?

iWeb just made the layout and appears to not be expected to continue developement.
MobileMe Gallery does not currently appear to have an equal in iCloud.
http://www.macrumors.com/2011/06/12/steve-jobs-confirms-discontinuation-of-iweb- in-icloud-transition/
Remember we are in the digital age where things constantly change. iPhoto support sharing to Facebook and Flickr directly. If I were to hazzard a guess not many people, as an average, were publishing to MobileMe, opting for the other mentioned solutions. You and I might be part of a minority that did. It is possible that a similar feature will appear down the road, but for now... don't count on it.

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.

Icons disappear in MobileMe gallery?

Hi all,
Here's a little strangeness! I upgraded to latest iPhoto, have the latest Leopard, brand new MacBook Pro 17, etc.
Sometimes I put movies (professionally made from Final Cut Pro) in iPhoto and bring them into a MobleMe gallery. Very easy, convenient way to post approvals for clients, etc. This has always worked well. Email the link to client, they click and see QT movie. Voila!
All of a sudden, I'll post 2 or 3 movies to a new MobileMe gallery - they look fine, the link works well - they look fine on the internet - EXCEPT THEN, MAGICALLY - they'll disappear from the Mobileme gallery page in iPhoto!!! The page is blank!
The movies are still on the website they were sent to - but the "design" page in iPhoto shows nothing is there?? This just started happening - perhaps it's coincidental with my upgrading to 8.02 in iPhoto? Anyone else have this issue . . . all am I all by myself out here Lonely feeling! So I trashed the iPhoto prefs, repaired disk permissions, rebuilt entire library, restarted - and started over making a brand new mobileme gallery page with 4 movies. Again, they finished publishing, perfect on the web and **** - did it again - the icons just disappeared from the mobileme gallery page. (But they're still on the web.)
Anybody have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Larry

Thank you, Old Toad! You've helped me before. Actually I did rebuild the library - my first post I believe I mentioned all that. But - look at this, Apple answered me. They are able to recreate the same problem there, so it looks like, I guess, I've found a real live BUG. Hard for me to believe thousands of others aren't running into the same issue. I've never actually used iMove before, as we always use Final Cut. But, here's what Apple just wrote me this morning . . .
Larry
Dear Larry,
Thank you, the description you posted in Discussions clarified the issue, please note though that the "page" you took a picture of is not a page but is the main window of iPhoto itself, and with the description I had before I was merely looking at your Gallery itself on the web at http://gallery.me.com/larrycohen3 which all looks just fine.
Following your description though I easily recreated the behavior in multiple test MobileMe accounts with iPhoto 8.0.2, and we appreciate your taking the time to bring this behavior to Apple's attention.
I've provided the details of your report to the MobileMe Engineering team. As always, the Engineering team appreciates feedback as part of its efforts to resolve issues and improve the MobileMe experience. Apple won't contact you again about this issue unless we have questions about the information you provided.
While the engineers explore possible solutions to this issue in iPhoto 8, as a workaround use the Gallery management tools on the web to manage your published albums that include movies in them after publishing. To access this page on the MobileMe site:
1. Open Safari or Firefox and visit www.me.com and log in.
2. Click the Gallery button at the top of the page, it looks like a sunflower.
3. View and manage your albums on the resulting page. The direct link is:
http://www.me.com/gallery
Thank you again for bringing this to Apple's attention and we apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.
If you need assistance with a different MobileMe issue in the future, please visit our website to find answers to common questions, and if necessary, submit a question to Apple by filling out the web form at this site, live chat support experts will be happy to assist at any time:

GPS info in MobileMe Gallery pictures. Google Map?

I took pictures on my iPhone, downloaded them into iPhoto, and made sure the GPS info was in the files. I created a MobileMe gallery, uploaded it, and checked to discover that when you click on the "i" icon in the MobileMe gallery from a web browser the GPS info doesn't show. I want to send my MobileMe Gallery link to somebody and have them see on something like a Google Map where they were taken. Is this not possible?

Same for me: iPhoto prefs are ok (prefs - web - include location info), but still no data in Mobileme Gallery. Is this a bug, will this be updated soon? Some people succeed to get some pictures done, I don't get any!! (http://gallery.me.com/altosaxo#100631)

Creating a MobileMe gallery & NOT sharing with everyone?

Hi, how do I restrict visibility of a MobileMe gallery to just a few users?
Prior to uploading there is a menu where it is possible among other setting to choose to share with 'everyone', 'just me' or 'selected people'.
Ok the issue is with the selected people list.
Do I understand this right that I have to give a 'name' & a password for every person I want to share the gallery with?
Ok I have put in 3 names and given them a password. But then it goes back to the main pre-loading options and I can see all the names in the drop down along with 'everyone', 'just me' etc... so how do I select those 3 ??? It looks as if I can only select one name. Do I have to do this one at a time or do I give all the people I want to share with a single name ? Is that how it is supposed to work ?
Thxs,
me

While viewing the MMe gallery in iPhoto click on the Settings button to bring up the Settings pane. Then click on the Advanced button to show additional options.
There you have two options:
1 - select Hide Album on my Gallery Page
Click to view full size
Which will keep viewers who are viewing your other galleries from visiting the hidden gallery. You can then just give the URL for that gallery to those who you want to view. But they could give it to others.
2 - select Edit Names and Passwords in the Album Viewable by drop down menu and create a single username and password for those selected to view it or a username and password for each individual.
Click to view full size

Some features/options needed when using mobileme gallery in iframe

hi@all

</iframe>
so what i need is:
how can i access more attributes so that the option button on the right upper corner is disabled or if this is not working i want just that the options are disabled but you can enable it with the button, but default=disabled.

when i leave the current album and go to another one on my mobileme gallery the default view is Raster how can i handle this that my default view is always mosaic in all of my public gallerys?
thanks a lot for your help

Cyclosaurus is the top javascript person in this forum. He's posted many tips and solutions using advanced javascript in HTML snippets. Most, no nearly all of his stuff is over my head and I just copy, use and recommend. Find one of his posts and ask him to view this thread and if he might have a the solution you're looking for.
A possible alternative is to use an iPhoto MobileMe gallery and embed that in your web site. You can select any of the gallery modes to be the mode you link to, grid, mosaic, carousel or slideshow. My example is linked to the mosaic mode. You also can isolate that gallery from any others that you might have so that visitors can only view that particular gallery. Changing the content of that gallery would be done thru iPhoto.

There are someone else's pictures on my mobileme gallery

I've just got an AppleTV and when I look under Internet > MobileMe with my Apple account, there's someone else's gallery. I've a fairly distinct log in so I'm thinking this is unlikely to be someone getting an email address wrong. Also, I've not had any odd emails. I can't understand what they're doing there or how to get rid of them. Any ideas? Thanks

Nobody could use your email address to set up a MobileMe Gallery. Only people with @me.com email addresses (i.e. full MobileMe acounts) can create galleries.
Possibly you're viewing the gallery of the MobileMe member whose username is the same as the part before the @ in your email address.
Go to http://gallery.me.com/username and see if you get the same gallery come up.

"re-syncing" iphoto with mobileme gallery

Some friends of ours recently uploaded pictures to our mobile me gallery. How do I bring those new photos into an already established iphoto event?

When I select an event and publish it to MobileMe, the MobileMe gallery does not seem to stay linked to my original event. If I add photos to the event they do not sync up to the gallery, and if a user contributes photos it does not go back to my event
We may have a terminology problems here - events do not connect in any way to MobileMe and you can not directly add photos to events - importing photos into iPhoto will create a new event - it is not possible to import photos into an existing event
When you create a MobileMe gallery it appears as a web gallery in the source pane to the left and anything you add to that gallery in iPhoto will be synced to MobileMe based on how you have your syncing preferences set
I do not have any uploaded photos so have not used that feature but I believe that you just look in the web gallery in the source pane of iPhoto and drag the photos you want to the iPhoto library window or select them and create a new event form selection

Counter of visit on MobileMe Gallery (pictures)

How can I place a counter (that counts all the visits) of my .mac or MobileMe Gallery (pictures)?
I know it is possible to place a counter on iWeb pages but not on the Gallery.
Any suggestion would be mostly apreciated.
Alex

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.

Share movie from Quicktime X to MobileMe Gallery with password protection?

Is it possible to share a movie using "Share" -> "MobileMe Gallery" with userid/password protection like from iPhoto or iMovie.
I can share it from Quicktime X to MobileMe but the movie is 'public' on my gallery.
Thanks,
Roland

Not with QuickTime X (at this time).
Use iPhoto to make a "private" Gallery page.

Syncing events with MobileMe Gallery

When I select an event and publish it to MobileMe, the MobileMe gallery does not seem to stay linked to my original event. If I add photos to the event they do not sync up to the gallery, and if a user contributes photos it does not go back to my event. It appears that this is intentional, so then what do I do about it? I am not sure which photos are added and/or how to import them back into my original event and I am unsure what to add from my original event into the gallery. If I try to keep the two in sync manually it will be very tedious and error prone. Any ideas?
