Mobile Me Gallery RIP - but what alternatives ?

I have been using Mobile Me Galllery for many years and love it - sadly it is about to die.   So what are the alternatives, I certaily dont get Photo Stream - makes not sense at all and does not work for sending someone a link to a set of photos for an event ?
I tired Flickr, but really dont like it and or their fees.  Is there another service that integrates to Aperture and offers "sexy" Web galleries with the level of control we had with Mobile me ?
Or are Apple just messing with us and are about to release a practical alternative ?
Help !

I sure hope so, but am not holding my breath.
I really have little interest in iCloud features especially Photostream as I wouldn't want all my images suddenly appearing on the family AppleTV or all my iOS devices.
MobileMe has its faults but is a collection of highly useful tools that were rendered fsirly useless when they announced it was shutting down - my account renewed a few weeks before the free extension, but I've barely added any new web/gallery content as it would be a waste of time for something with a limited lifespan.

  • "mosaic" view the default when viewing my mobile me gallery online ?

    Hi all
    From my website I want people to click one of my mobile me gallery links, but for the mosaic view to be the default look (The first view they get in the browser).
    Is this possible ? if so how ?
    Much appreciated.
    Cheers

    You can do that by linking a thumbnail image to the mosaic page of the MMe gallery like in this demo page: MobileMe Gallery .

  • IWeb and Mobile Me gallery?

    I am using iWeb to create my web site but publishing my photos from iPhoto to the mobile me gallery. In iWeb I am using the Black theme where it puts the main links to the different pages across the top. I would like to add a link there that goes to the gallery.me.com page. how do I do this??
    Thanks for the help.

    iWeb: you don't need to save anything from the iDisk - iWeb does not open html files. Your iWeb sites are held in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file called Domain. So even after MobileMe terminates you will still be able to open iWeb and see your sites, you just won't be able to publish them to MobileMe. You can publish them to any other webspace - please see this page:

    Gallery: if your albums arre synced with iPhoto or Aperture then the pictures are on your Mac anyway. If not, and you don't have local copies (which is always a risky procedure) you will have to download each picture separately. Alternatively there is an online photo gallery service called ZangZing which provides an easy import facility from various other services including MobileMe's Gallery. It's free until June 2012 after which the first 2GB is free with escalating price levels starting at $5 per month or $50 a year.

  • Mobile me gallery vs Aperture 3 -- incompatible?

    My Mobile Me gallery worked perfectly in Aperture 2. I upgraded to Aperture 3 and about 20% of my gallery images got deleted and the remaining ones appeared in a random order. I am rebuilding the galleries now, but the process is VERY annoying (not to mention the time and effort needed to select from ten thousand images). The order of the images keep changing; when I try to rearrange then, some stay in their desired positions while others jump around. Although my update preference is set to "manual", Aperture keeps updating every 30 seconds or so, slowing down work significantly. My final grudge is that some of the images that appear in the published gallery are not the same as the ones I chose to create the gallery. It appears that Aperture 3 is full of bugs ... Any advice?

    Aperture does not have bugs any more, at least that is what some folk would have you believe.
    If you have just installed Ap3. It needs quite a long time to do all that it has to, to finish fully, and depending mostly on the library size, it could take a couple of days to several to finish. It is best left to get on with it. If this is not the problem then i have no other ideas. Allan

  • Project published to Mobile Me Gallery, can I change the icon image?

    I there a way to pick a "key frame" for an iMovie projec I have published to Mobile Me in the same way one can pick a "key photo" for a photo gallery published to Mobile Me? For example, I'd like to like those that visit my Mobile Me gallery to see the name of the fictitious movie from my movie trailers as the icon, rather than a random frame from the trailer itself. I've been hunting around, but i can't seem to find a way to do this, Thanks.

    Hi there
    Well, this is a yes and no answer.
    Yes, you could change an icon, But no, RoboHelp won't make it easy. What you will end up doing is massaging the JavaScript code for the WebHelp output. This particular change isn't really for the faint of heart. Oh, and you would likely have to change it each time you generate your WebHelp output.
    I would encourage you (and others) to consider submitting a Wish Form to ask Adobe to put this on their radar for a future version.

  • Deleting pics in mobile me gallery deletes image in project

    I dont believe it, i just came across ANOTHER aperture 3 bug:
    i had some images imported in my importing project
    i made a mobile me gallery out of it.
    in the library on the left, i selected the mobile me gallery to delete some pictures from this gallery because i did not want them published.
    i click on the PROJECT (where all files should be stored regardless what i deleted from the mobile me gallery) to find that those images i deleted from the gallery are in the bin, they are not in the project anymore!
    another fatal bug......

    Please Control-click (or right-click) on any image in a MobileMe Gallery to see the options that are available, which include Delete Version and Remove from Album. If you choose Delete Version you should see the warning without having to actually proceed to delete anything. The options are the same as with any album.
    I never use the Delete key for any of this, but I will test as time allows -- apparently, based upon your experience, it is the same as Delete Version, but as to lack of warning, I will have to test. I would never assume the Delete key is the same as Remove from Album, which is the needed command.

  • FCE to Mobile Me Gallery

    I edit my Standard Def video in FCE, export a QT movie reference file using current setting out of FCE and bring it into imovie 09 so I can post my video to my mobile me gallery. I'm pretty disappointed with the quality once it is up on mobile me. I know I'm still shooting standard def footage, and high def wouldn't degrade so quickly, but it seems like my video looks normal out of FCE, but bringing my reference file into imovie, it seems like the video gets degraded and posting to mobile me, the video gets degraded yet another time. Final result, very degraded standard def video.
    A couple of questions:
    1. Does my workflow make since? Is there a better way of doing this without all the degrading steps?
    2. Is imovie looking at the original file which is 7.5gb even though my reference file is 350mb? Or is the degraded image I see in imove due to me using a reference file instead of a self contained file.
    I know this is a FCE forum, but I'm assuming other FCE users are using imovie to post to mobile me.
    Thanks so much for the help.

    I've found the HG21 to be a great camcorder if you're looking for an AVCHD workflow. It works well for recording both interlaced and progressive 1920x1080 footage, both of which are fully supported by FCE. The built-in mic is acceptable, and the manual focus is excellent. The camera shoots extremely clear quality footage in well lit environments but like many AVCHD cameras doesn't fare as well in low-light. Since AVCHD is transcoded to AIC upon ingest, you'll need to make sure you have a large external media drive to store your footage on. Here's a couple videos I recorded with it and edited in FCE in case you're interested in seeing what it can produce:
    http://vimeo.com/5494472
    http://vimeo.com/8158419
    If you have any more specific questions about the camera, I'd be happy to try to answer them!

  • I have an error message while trying to update itunes from my Iphone4.  It is telling me my phone is in recovery mode and I must restore the phone.  How can I fix w/o losing my information? What alternatives do I have?  I knew I shouldn't update the SW!!

    While updating/synching I have an error saying that my phone is in recovery; need to restore the phone before it can be used with Itunes.  And the phone is frozen with a graphic of the itunes symbol and a connector.  If I restore, I assume I will lose all my data.  Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get around this?  Thanks. 

    It should restore from the backup. If you don't have any backup then you will lose data but what you going to do you have no other alternative so go ahead and do it.

  • Problem using email to upload image files to Mobile Me gallery

    I will cross post this question to both Mail and Mobile Me discussion groups because I don't know where my problem lies.
    I have published a gallery page from iPhoto to my Mobile Me gallery. There are two ways to upload additional photos. I am not having trouble adding image files with the Upload feature. I cannot get the email function to work. The emails I send to the email address for the gallery bounce back to my mail inbox.
    Subject: Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed
    and in the body of the bounced email:

    Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred

    One of the images I am trying to attach is a jpeg file of 61 kb.
    I have tried to drag the image from my desktop to the body of the email. I have tried using the "attach" function and selecting the file name. I am not sending any text with these files.
    When I built these albums, I checked and enabled all the options.
    I am having this same issue when I try to upload via email to any of my Mobile Me gallery pages.
    There is currently one photo displayed here:
    http://gallery.me.com/tplattenberger#100352
    If anyone wishes to try to upload to that gallery using email (Send to Album) that would be great and if successful, that might provide a clue to my problem.
    As I say, I currently have one photo there. If you find a lot more, please do not add.
    What's the problem?
    Tom

    The images I am trying are newly created and old.
    A weird hint perhaps...
    I just copied an image from Apple's home page and pasted it into the email and tried again...
    it worked.
    So I tried again, dragging from iPhoto and it did not work... the email bounced back.
    So I tried again, this time using copy and paste (like I did from Apple's page) from iPhoto... it did not work.

  • Mobile Me gallery sorting issue

    I recently upgraded iLife from '08 to '09. I am having an issue when I publish and event to my Mobile Me Gallery where its not sorting the photos correctly in the gallery. They don't seem to sorted the same way as I have them in the event when I publish them to the mobile me gallery, its not doing it every time just sometimes. I know I can go into the published gallery within iPhoto and go to view > sort and change it in there but it seems strange that I would have to do that. Why wouldn't it publish the same way as I have them sorted in the event. It also seems that sometimes when I do resort them in the gallery that it doesn't stay. Also is there a way to set the default setting to sort a certain way? Thanks.

    I am having similar problems, also in reordering multiple galleries in iPhoto.
    try leaving feedback for Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to make them aware of the issues. Maybe they will fix this in a future update. it did work in iPhoto '08 after all.

  • "Mobile me" gallery sorting

    Hey guys,
    Two problems with Aperture 3 :
    1) Impossible to sort "mobile me" gallery by name : it always comes back in weird orders...
    2) Aperture 3 keeps freezing when I try to close it, forcing me to "force quit" it. Then, other problem emerged, like my iphone wouldn't get all the pictures of my librairies when syncronizing. I tried to "repair" it by cmd+option, and then, it made me a separate file "recovered project" with like 200 pictures in it — which I still have in my initial file, but as "copies" : if I delete the "recovered project", those will miss the "original" file...
    Any idea of a solution, or should I just export my 6 000 pics library to reimport it with a clean install — with the "store file in their current location" option checked ?
    thanks !

  • Mobile me gallery and stacks

    When I drag a stack pick to a mobile me gallery the entire stack shows up in the gallery and none of the pictures in the stack are selected as the stack pick. Once I have all my pictures in the mobile me gallery I have to go back and re-select the picture in each stack I want published.
    Is there a way to drag the stack pick from an album to a mobile me gallery without having to go back and re-selecting the stack pick
    Thanks

    Not that I am aware of. I drag the pic to the mobileme gallery. Then click on the version I want to display in the gallery, and "shift-\" to make that image the "album" pick. This keeps my project "stack" pick intact. Every album or gallery can have their own picks, designated by the check-mark on the thumbnail.
    Would be nice if the album pick was designated by which version is dragged to the album, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

  • Mobile me gallery in Safari

    I added a mobile me gallery to a page in iweb 09 using the mm widget.
    the gallery displays fine using a computer browser, but in safari on the iphone the pictures dont appear. I have to create a seperate link to the gallery to get them to appear.
    any ideas?

    http://gallery.mac.com/userid
    or
    http://gallery.me.com/userid
    obviously replace userid with your MobileMe login but the iPhone does challenge you for your ID properly and will let you view the gallery.

  • Slideshow on mobile me gallery

    What is the easiest way to post a slideshow (with itunes music) on my mobile me gallery?

    Roger:
    Here's how to easily get a slideshow (one converted to a QT movie) online to be viewed:
    1 - export the slideshow via the File->Export->Slideshow. Select either Medium or Large for the size.
    2 - import that QT movie file into iPhoto.
    3 - create an album and add the QT movie
    4 - select that album and click on the MobileMe button in the lower toolbar of iPhoto. If it's not there go to View->Toolbar and select MobileMe.
    5 - select the options in the drop down window in iPhoto and hit the Publish button.
    That's it. Once the gallery is published you'll get a URL for it and can send that URL to those who you want to view it.
    If you would like to have multiple sizes in the gallery for access by computers and cell phones import the QT movie into iMovie and export it to MobileMe. You'll get a MMe gallery with up to 4 sizes like this one:iMovie to MMe Gallery.
