MobileMe Album Descriptions

When I create a MobileMe Album in Aperture there is a large text area for the Album Description. However, when I view the album online it only displays 8 or 9 words from the description. I don't understand why they give you such a large area to enter text, and then cut it off in the album. Is there anyway to get the album to display the entire description?
Thanks,
Andrew

Upon further investigation of this new 'feature' I came upon the following.
In my above example, let's say I have my Library A open.
I can see the MobileMe albums of the other libraries (B and C) that do not belong in A.
I just clicked on a MM Album of library B and it is now synchronising the contents of this Album with my Library.
So now I have photo's of MM Albums B and C showing up INSIDE MY LIBRARY A
Good grief APPLE !
It get's even worse. The synced photo's manifest themselves inside smart folders, ilife media browser and iphone/ipad syncs !!!
I'm having genuine problems with some aspects of Aperture since version 3.0, there is an open bug in bugreporter that seems to be unsolvable, and after 8 months of bugfixing (february 3.0.1 to November 3.1) this is what they come up with ???
The worst part is that it seems this new 'feature' was intentional :

MobileMe Album - Multiple Copies of Images

I created a MobileMe Album and published it in my gallery. I then added pictures to the album by selecting and dragging the photos into the album. The album in Aperture shows multiple images of the same picture. When I select one image, both appear to be selected. When I try to delete one of the copies - both are deleted as is the original. All copies and the original in all albums are gone. When I look at the album in my web gallery - all the photos are there with no duplicates, but they are not in the same order. Anybody have any advice as to what I'm doing wrong? I'm sure my description of my problem is strange, but so is Aperture. Help? Suggestions? thanks

FWIW, this appears to be an Aperture bug that's independent of MobleMe. I have the same problem in normal albums with no connection to MobleMe. If I copy an image from one album to another, multiple copies appear in the destination album and there's no way to prune the copies: removing one copy removes them all.

IWeb 08 / Aperture 2 / MobileMe albums "No albums or movies available"

I've searched the forums and there doesn't seem to be a resolution for this. It seems the issue has been known about for quite some time now; hard to believe Apple is just ignoring this.
basics:
I created MobileMe albums via Aperture 2. I open iWeb '08 and go to insert the album and get this message: "No albums or movies available"; this message also appears via the Widget add. The albums are NOT password protected.

Well I have found a work around... Though others need to test it as well as me.
Log into me.com and open the gallery you prepared in aperture.
Select the "Adjust the settings for this album" button at the top, then select the pop-up that says "Syncs with" and choose "iPhoto" instead of "Aperture".
Press "Publish".
That's it, the gallery now appears in the iWeb Widgets list!
Also it still syncs with Aperture, both way

How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums? I don't have any! I never did!!! The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

How do I export a movie from imovie to a particular mobileme album

The Mobileme Gallery option in the Share menu of iMovie does not provide for exporting to a particular mobileme album. What is the best way to do this?

You can do it any of four ways.
1) SHARE/to iTUNES
In this case you can right-click on the movie in iTunes and select reveal in Finder. Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
2) SHARE/to Media Browser
I don't recommend this way because it is easy to inadvertently mess up an important file if you don't know what you are doing. But if you want to, you can find your movie inside the project RCPROJECT package in the movies folder.
Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
3) SHARE/to Movie
You will get a dialog box allowing you to save the movie to a place of your choice. You can upload it to youtube from there.
4) SHARE/Export to QuickTime. Here you can customize the setting of your video. Unless you have a great deal of knowledge about video and audio codecs, use the above options, which create great results for Facebook.

Moving MobileMe albums

Now that MobileMe (MM) is no longer in use, I keep getting a "Moving MobileMe albums..." information box whenever i open iPhoto. This is after a dialogue box that informs me the MM is no longer available. There is nothing I can do but accept that I would like to continue after this dialogue box.
The screen will now just sit like this in iPhoto and just hang there. There is no message saying that iPhoto is not responding and no "beach ball". This locks up my iPhoto and there is nothing I know how to do to get past this.
Any assistance/ advice would be great. How can I get to use my iPhoto once again?

Quit (or force quit) iPhoto, if it is still hanging.
When the " MM is no longer available" dialog box appears, select "Learn More", and not o.k.
Open the iPhoto Preferences, select the "Accounts" tab, and remove the "MM" account.
If this is not possible, disconnect from the Internet (turn of Wi-fi or unplug the ethernet), before you launch iPhoto again, then delete the MM account from the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab.
After this, open the System Preferences, MobileMe panel and sign out of MobileMe.

IPhoto Albums and MobileMe Albums - Synchronization (Sync)

I am very interested in how the iPhoto and MobileMe operate together.
I like that if I publish an album to MobileMe, those photos are then kept in sync with that MobileMe album and vice versa. If a change is made to the photo in iPhoto, the same change takes place in MobileMe. If a change is made in MobileMe, that change is pushed to the copy in iPhoto. I like this!
But here is something I would like that I am having trouble accomplishing.
I want to create an iPhoto album (smart or otherwise) and publish it to MobileMe. I would then like any photos ADDED to that album to also be published the same MobileMe album. Can this be done?
Ideally, any photos also posted directly to the MobileMe album would be pushed back to the iPhoto album as well.

No. Instead of adding the photo to the album just drag it into the MMe gallery and it will update the online gallery.

"Tell a Friend" email from MobileMe album - no images or formatting

When I use "tell a friend" from a MobileMe album, it usually calls up "mail" with fancy body text with images of the key album photo with links and a nice layout.
Now, when I use it, it just comes up with plain text as the email message. I don't know why or how I can change it back to the way it used to be.
I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the cmd+option launch and checking the last three boxes. Anything else I have missed out? I'm not using any email encryption software as well. Just Apple "mail".
Thanks,
Howie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your Mail preferences set for RTF formatting or just plain text? That might be the reason. Set it to RTF if it's not that already. Other than that try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.

MobileMe Album in Project List

I used to have my MobileMe album show up in my Project List when I opened Aperture, but not anymore. I can't find what I did wrong to have it dissapear. Need help configuring it back.

This has just happened to me as well. MobileMe doesn't appear as a group header at all. It appears to have done it to me after I briefly switched my MobileMe synch settings in Aperture to manual due to network issues badly impacting Aperture performance. As a result, it has lost all of my MobileMe albums, even though I have switched the synch period back onto automatic.

MobileMe albums not visible in Aperture after upgrade from iPhoto

I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture and all went well, except that my mobileme albums aren't appearing. I published a test album which worked, but my existing ones don't appear.
I've read on another thread that a dodgy character in an album name caused a similar problem but I can't see anything that looks odd in my mobileme album names.
Any ideas?

I had the exact problem and found the solution here.

Mobileme album from keywords

Can I define a mobileme album in Aperture from keywords or other metadata?
Now I define a smart album, "Italy 1951" by incorporating into it all images with the keywords "Italy" and "1951". I created a mobileme album of the same name by dragging the images from the smart album into the mobileme album.
Now, as I add images to the library with the same keywords, the smart album updates automatically. It would be most useful if the mobileme album would incorporate them as well --and update the online album at its next sync.
Can Aperture do this now?
Thanks for any help.

HT5132 I've already dealt with my MobileMe Albums, and now Aperture 3.3.1 is stuck on moving them -- 28 hours and counting. How do I stop it?

I've already dealt with my MobileMe Albums, and now Aperture 3.3.1 is stuck on moving them -- 28 hours and counting. How do I stop it?

Quit Aperture
Then disconnect from internet (WiFi, Ethernet, etc.)
Launch Aperture again.
In the Aperture Preferences Web Tab remove MobileMe.
After that you can connect again to to the Internet.
Probably the "Quit" button does not work. Then try to quit using the Terminal to avoid "Force Quit":
Launch the Terminal (from Applications > Utilities) and enter
killalll Aperture
If this does not work, use "Force Quit".
See here why to avoid force quitting:
If Aperture is unresponsive, how to avoid force quitting?

Mobileme album not created

Hello,
i created a mobileme album in aperture but it is not published in the mobileme gallery.
tried sev. times, but aperture does not even show a URL for the album in mobileme menue.
Last time i created a mobileme album was wih aperture 2 now using 3.0.3.
I remember that i had a similar problem before, the solution was to start the sync process to mobileme manually. Searched everything but didn't find a button/menue item.
Is there still a possibility to synchronize aperture and mobileme manually ?

I got my mobileme album at last.
i tried several times Aperture -> Preferences -> Web -> CheckNow. After creation of the mobileme album in aperture the effect was always that the album was deleted.
I created a new mobileme album and just waited for some days. The album did not appear in my mobileme gallery. I tried again the CheckNow button expecting the album to be deleted. But this time aperture immediately started synchronizing with mobileme.
Didn't do any further experiments yet, would still like to know if there is a way to start synchronization manually.
regards Ralf

Link several Albums into 1 MobileMe album

I have several albums that I have merged to create one MobileMe album.
Is there any way that when I add/remove a photo from any of these albums it automatically updates the MobileMe album too?
Many thanks,
Leonardo

No - iPhoto syncs the MobileMe album to MobileMe - not anything else
Just add the photo to the MobileMe alum in the source pane on the left - that is the one that syncs

Updating sync between iphoto album and mobileme album

I have created a 'mobileme album' from an album in iphoto. However when i add a new photo to the 'iphoto album' it does automatically sync into the 'mobileme album'. Should this happen or do i need to recreate the mobileme album every time?

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums

Neither
Just drag the new photo(s) to the MobileMe gallery in the source pane on the left under MobileMe galleries (and to the original album too as a backup) it will update automatically - do not make additional changes while it is updating - this may cause problems and duplications
MobileMe is updated when- and only when - you change the gallery in the MobileMe gallery section of your source pane.
