Mobile me galleries on 2 computers (2 iphoto programs)

Ok I manually added pictures to both of my computer's iphoto. On one computer I made a mobile me gallery using a photo album on iphoto. The other computer (an imac) tries to load the mobile me gallery but the photos are a little heavy and so the photos do not load from the "cloud." Everytime I put the regular photos in the mobile me gallery, the other computer thinks the mobile me gallery is new and tries to download it (even though the mobile me gallery with the photos from the album is exactly the same). Has anyone had this recurring problem? Is there anyway iphotos can sync on my network (the computers share an internet connection). Thank you in Advance, Kate

Steve,
they files downloaded from Mobile Me should be duplicates, but please check and convince yourself before you delete anything; you may have deleted a few of the original versions by now.
Set the "Photos" view to sort by title or date, so that similar photos are displayed close to each other.
Then select two potential duplicates and use the command "File > Reveal in Finder" to show the original files.
Only if this clearly reveals two different files on your harddrive, you can be sure that you really have duplicate photos. Compare the "Info" on your two duplicates and make sure you keep the versions with the highest resolution. You may want to flag the photos in the Mobile Me events, then you should see alternating flagged and unflagged images when sorting the photos view by date or title.
For example, sorting the photos in Photos View by title reveals:

  • IWeb, IPhoto and Mobile Me Galleries

    I have several websites on mobile me and also with go daddy. I have a picky problem with thumbnails and Mobile me Galleries. Here's the workflow and problem:
    I have a group of videos that are related. Instead of using a flash playlist (IPhones can't play them), I open IPhoto and drag say 10 videos into IPhoto and create a new album. I then published that album to my mobile me gallery. All is fine except that the video thumbnails are not set wher I want them. Mobile me automatically sets the first frame as the thumbnail and since I fade up from black, the first frame is black. So once the gallery is up on my IDisk, I open IWeb and create an album page. WHile IPhoto is open, I drag the Album to my IWeb page. Again, all of the thumbnails are black. I double click on the album and the new page opens and all of the individual videos are there. I click one and then in the inspector, I choose quicktime and I can move the slider to select a new thumbnail (POster Frame) All is perfect. Here are the problems:
    1. When I publish to mobile me or a folder and upload that folder to my godaddy site, it wants to re-upload to the gallery which takes a HUGE amount of time.Is there anyway to only upload the posterframe changes to the existing gallery? BTW, these changes to my IWeb page do NOT make changes to the Gallery thumbnails themselves, only to the reference within IWeb.
    2. If I do this for another page, involving a new gallery of videos, it wipes out my original thumbnails that I set for the first set of galleries. When I go back to IWeb to re-select thumbnails for the second time and re-upload those pages to Mobile Me or Godaddy, It sends the whole gallery up, taking ANOTHER whole bunch of time to do it.
    Any ideas on how to permanently set the thumbnails in Mobile Me? I'm sure you can't change them there.
    Jeff

    You uploaded the pictures and movies twice.
    Once to the MobileMe gallery.
    The second time to the Webserver.
    Here's a solution to soften the pain.
    Display a MobileMe gallery page. Set the display you want.
    Copy the URL in the browser addressfield.
    In iWeb create a page and add a HTML Snippet.
    Paste this line of code in the HTML Snippet and use the URL of your MMe gallery page as the src :
    <iframe src="http://url.to.MMeGallery.html" frameborder="0" width="500" height="500" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
    Adjust the width and height numbers.
    Now you have your MMe gallery in an iWeb page without the trouble of uploading twice.

  • Mobile Me galleries in iphoto

    How do I delete any trace of my mobile me galleries from my iphoto application? I have signed out of MM, but the online albums still appear in the side bar. I do not host any photos from this computer.
    Thanks

    Are they password protected? If so that's why. Otherwise try deleting the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist.
    Are you able to see iPhoto's albums, pics in the Media Browser in iWeb? If not you can try the following: open the iPhoto Library package, move the AlbumData.xml file to the desktop and launch iPhoto. That will rebuild that AlbumData.xml file which is what the Media Browser uses to show the albums, etc. in iPhoto. It probably will rebuild the web gallery list as well.

  • Mobile Me Galleries in iWeb maintain formatting and features?

    Hello,
    Perhaps this is more of an iWeb question than an Aperture question, but here it goes.
    My question is: Can you integrate Aperture/Mobile Me galleries into iWeb? If so, do they maintain their formatting and features (eg, mosaic display, passwords for clients, etc)?
    Thanks very much
    Christian

    A gallery can be integrated into your website by linking to it.
    If you want to have the gallery in the main navigation you will have to hide the standard one and build your own. The gallery link in this menu will be an external link and should be set to open in a new window so that viewers don't have to use their back button.
    See....
    http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebNavigationmenu.html
    ... for building our own.
    You can also link to a Mobile Me gallery by clicking on the widget icon, selecting MobileMe Gallery and selecting the particular one from the list.

  • Lost link to mobile me galleries

    I was uploading some pictures to my mobile me gallery when Aperture quit unexpectedly. When I restarted Aperture, all of the links to my mobile me galleries were gone from the project pane. I tried rebuilding the library but it did not help. Any suggestions about how to go about relinking to Mobile Me?

  • Mobile Me Galleries in Aperture Project List

    If I create a mobile me gallery in aperture it appears on the project list, near the top under mobile me galleries. That's fine, until I close aperture and then the next time I open it I don't have any mobile me galleries listed. It hasn't always been like this, I first noticed it about a month ago but it might have happened before then. The galleries are still on my .me space, I know that I haven't deleted them. However if I go into Aperture, preferences and go on the mobile me tab I can see all the galleries listed, I then have to click the 'check now', the galleries then reappear in my project list, although sometimes I have error messages during the process. So whilst I can get around the problem, it's not ideal and I'd really like to have all my published galleries in my project list so I can edit them. I'm using Aperture 2.1.2 and OS 10.4.11.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem - any suggestions and help would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks
    Berni

  • HT5129 all of my albums in mobile me came from my albums in iPhoto. will mobile me recognize that, or would it place a duplicate copy back to my iPhoto?

    all of my ablums in mobile me came from my albums in iPhoto. will mobile me recognize that? or would it migrate duplicates back to my iPhoto? thanks.

    OT - Unfortunately, Apple hasn't made it that easy.  They've tried, but didn't get there.  I have been logged out of MMe from the System Preferences for months, and I am still getting the new message now every time I open iPhoto to migrate my albums to iPhoto from MMe.  I deleted those photos (which I had also like fatsojung loaded from iPhoto in the first place, but now have divided some of those to separate libraries for space), and even had deleted the albums from MMe!  Thought I was DONE with MMe months ago!!  Now I'm getting the following message when I try to delete my MMe account from my iPhoto preferences to stop the message:
    "31 albums will be removed from your IPHOTO LIBRARY."!!!!  Is that a typo??  Shouldn't it say "MobileMe gallery"?  As those photos are still in my iPhoto library, I certainly do NOT want them deleted from iPhoto!    And why does it still have all 31 albums in there when I deleted them from MMe months ago??  I feel like I'm in a horrible loop that won't let me go!
    It's just a pain if I have to let it download all those pictures into my iPhoto trash, then delete them AGAIN.  And frankly I'm a bit worried that it will confuse it with my originals that are still in that library.  Good thing I have Time Machine! 
    Any insight as to what actually happens when we click "Remove"?  Thanks.

  • Unable to send or receive emails! When I first bought my Macbook I never paid for the mac mail. I have tried to find Mobile Me to no avail. What software program do I need to send emails??

    Hi all! I bought my macbook pro around two years ago. I currently have the Snow Leopard operating system. I have just clicked on Lion to upgrade however I am aware that the Mac Mail required you to pay for it? I click on the mail link and it does not work i.e. the send button is greyed out. Please advise?

    You don't need to pay anything extra for Apple Mail. You may need to pay extra money to Yahoo and/or Hotmail if you want to connect to them with a true e-mail client like Apple Mail. I would provide links for more information, but it appears to be not quite supported. I think it is a service for mobile applications that people on computers can connect to if they hack around a bit. Your ability to connect with Apple Mail depends on how much you want to hack around.
    The easiest solution would be to wait a few weeks until Apple rolls out iCloud. Then you will be able to sign up for that instead of the defunct MobileMe.

  • My iphoto program was messed up so I dragged it to trash and down-loaded it again. now when I open it , it says I can't open my library with my old version, use my new version.  How do I get to my new version when it is the only one there?

    My iphoto program was all messed up so I properly uninstalled it, I have a good back up.  When I reinstall iphoto from my iwork disc it installed Ok, but when I clk on the icon it says that my library is unavailable, use the new iphoto.  What is the problem?  If I go to applications the same thing happens, I can't access Iphoto!

    You reinstalled an old version of iPhoto after you updated your library to the newer version.
    Update ALL your software and try again.
    Click the Apple Menu at the upper left-hand corner of your screen and select "Software Update..."
    Repeat until it tells you there are no more updates.
    AND, launch the App Store application located in your Applications folder to see if there are any updates there as well.

  • When I click on almost any picture, in any album, to enlarge it, the pic starts to enlarge and then all I get is a black screen with a large exclamation point in the center.  What have I done to my iPhoto program, and how do I fix it?

    Recently, whenever I click on almost any of my pictures, in any album, in order to enlarge that photo, it starts to enlarge but then,
    very quickly I get a black screen with a large white exclamation mark in the middle.  And no full sized photo. Boo!
    What did I do to my iPhoto program, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Mike H.

    I'm sorry.  Too old to understand this stuff.  I'm sure this seems real stupid to you.  But I have no idea how one
    would "right click on the Original iPhoto Library" (I know, I know, 'as stated").
    Do I right click on the symbol in the dock??  Or open it first and then, . .  I can't find a way to right click on the word iPhoto in the top bar.
    Or should I open the program you had me download.  There I can find something called "original iPhoto library".
    When I "right click" on that I get some options.  None of them are "original folders".  There's "reveal library in finder", and "dupilicate library and "sort libraries".  I have no idea if any of these are what you want, or if any of these might change something.
    When I clicked on "reveal library in finder" earlier on it showed me the copy of the photo library that I made a while ago, sitting right where I know it is on my desktop.  And if I click on that symbol it shows me all the pictures again.  Just like in my regular iPhoto files - all the thumbs are there, but most can't be opened to full sized.
    Are we making progress here?  I'm sure this is frustrating to you.  This is just pictures of family.  Even the thumbs are nice to look at.  But this is nothing critical - like work related or anything.
    Thanks.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • I should have said in my previous message that the iphoto program I am using is for an ipad 2.  I simply want to know how to delete an edited album which contains one photo that I do not want taking up space.

    I should have said in my previous message that the iphoto program I am using is for an ipad 2.  I simply want to know how to delete an edited album which contains one photo that I do not want taking up space.

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • My iphoto program will not open, I get a message "you have previously used a newer version" open with that

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode.
