MobileMe album doesnt show in iPhoto

I uploaded two albums last night and i left the computer alone and when i returned i saw that iPhoto had crashed. When i reopened iPhoto i saw that the two albums i uploaded showed up in the mobileme dropdown but when i clicked on them to see the photos i couldnt see any of the pictures. Then i logged into me.com and i saw that there were duplicates where the duplicates had 0 images in them and the other two had all the uploaded images. So i went back into iphoto and deleted the two mobileme albums that had no images in them. Now I'm trying to get the two albums on my mobileme gallery to show up in the mobilme iphoto dropdwon menu. How can i do that?
Thanks

Hi Matiar. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Now I'm trying to get the two albums on my mobileme gallery to show up in the mobilme iphoto dropdwon menu. How can i do that?
Unfortunately, that won't work. As you state, the galleries have "0" images in them. So you should probably delete those corrupt galleries and start again. Log back in to your MobileMe account online:
www.me.com
...go to the galleries in question and delete them there. Then recreate the albums again in iPhoto, and upload them to your MobileMe account once more. That should work. But as long as the corrupt galleries remain online you will have problems. Cheers!

Old iphone3 photo albums not showing in iphoto and I want to import them

I found my old iphone3 today and discovered a heap of photos on there that we lost years ago when our hard drive died.
I'm very keen to get these photos onto the computer and of course then back them up onto an external drive!
When I plug the phone into my mac, both iphoto and image capture only show the photos that are in the camera roll to import, not any of the albums that are on the phone. I'm assuming this is because at one point in the phones life the album photos had already been imported, but that doesn't help me now.
Any suggestions?
I've also tried opening the photos in preview, but again it only shows up the camera roll photos.
Thanks in advance

I'm assuming this is because at one point in the phones life the album photos had already been imported, but that doesn't help me now.
Have the photos been synced to your iPhone using iTunes? Then you cannot import them directly. iPhoto, Image Capture, Aperture will only import photos, that are in the Camera Roll, not synced photos. On no account sync your iPhone again with iTunes, until you have rescued the photos.
See: iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
Email them from the device to yourself.
Copy them from the emails to your computer.

HT5129 How can I get my MobileMe albums transferred over to iPhoto? It keeps freezing on me!

When I launch iPhoto, it gives the standard message that MobileMe has been discontinued and that it will transfer albums to a folder in iPhoto. But then a progress meter comes up and doesn't move. It just freezes. Any ideas?

Go to the http://web.me.com site, log in and then use the Downlload button at the top of the page to download zipped folders of each album's photos.

Every time I launch iPhoto I get a "Moving MobileMe albums..." message

And a never ending wheel spin - program frozen. Relaunching, rebooting and repairing the database have not helped. All software is current. I have a 2010 iMac. All help greaty appreciated! Be more than happy to just delete the MobileMe albums.

(Force) Quit iPhoto, then relaunch.
When you see the "Mobile Me" panel, press the "learn more" button, not the "o.k." button.
In iPhoto open the Preferences, "Accounts" tab, and delete the Mobile Me Account.
Then go to the System Preferences - Mobile Me Tab- and sign out of Mobile Me or press the "Visit me-com" button to go to your galleries and delete or download the albums.

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.

Smart Album to show pics with no faces, & any photos that iPhoto no faceID

Hi, I've just started to use iPhoto 09, after a long long time getting to know my iMac, and organising my iTunes library...
I want a smart album to show photos which have no faces, but also to have photos which iPhoto has not picked up that a photo needs a "face ID" on, what I mean is, if a person is turned away to to the side, iPhoto might not pick up that it needs to be a "face" and so wont show up in the normal smart album Photo>is>unnamed
if anyone can help, would be great, I'm busy slowly importing my photos, and what to do this one step at a time
cheers

A smart album with the criteria "Face is unnamed" will find any photo with an unnamed face on it. It can be either one with a named face or two but at least one unnamed face or a photo with no faces named.
There is workaround to get what you want.
1 - add a keyword, face, to any photo you name a face in.
2 - create a smart album with the criteria "Keyword is not face".
This will identify any photo with no face at all. If you've not added any other keywords to photos you can create the smart album above and then sort by keyword. Those with both a face and unnamed face will have the keyword face and can be sorted to the top or bottom of the list.

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.

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.

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?

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.

One more question re- getting flickr albums to show up in iPhoto '09

I have in the recent past uploaded a bunch of photos from iPhoto '09 to flickr pro, using the Flickr Uploadr.
With iPhoto '09, I can do it within iPhoto without having to go to Flickr Uploadr. That's great. But how do I get the existing albums to show up in iPhoto '09 so that I can keep a tab on what I have uploaded and what I have not.
Also, does the flickr album item in iPhoto '09 create new copies of the photo or is it just a label/metadata on the existing photo/set of photos in the library?

IF you have successfully imported your pictures to your Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 then it's safe to delete it from your phone.
If you want the pics back on your phone, just sync them back using itunes http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

I completed my album for a slide show in iPhoto; can't get the slide show to swart with picture number 1.

Whenever I log into icloud.com
Using what version of which browser?
iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

HT5132 If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

To William Lloyds recommendation I have to add the following: I tried to implement the suggestion and thus to have the Mobileme-account closed to avoid the lenghty process mentioned, however, I am given to understand that if one choose to have the account closed, ALL of the galleries/albums etc, so far hosted within Mobileme will ALSO be deleted within APERTURE!! And that is not exactly what I want, in as much as I am intending to move everything (Galleries etc) to Smugmug...any suggestions as to eliminate the migration suggeted within Aperture?

I have multiple iPhoto albums, so this move is pushing thousands of pictures to each library. Why doesn't this come with a "No, Thanks!" option since I've ALREADY ensured the MobileMe albums were captured? I've never seen Apple force an action like this!
Worse - According to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4328, "photos you published to MobileMe from your library may be moved from their original events into a new event called "From MobileMe"." - so the forced move has probably scrambled my events in every library. The 'fix'? Search for matching photos and if not found, copy and paste into the desired event. It will take DAYS for me to recover from this undesired and ill-considered forced action.

Load your backup from just before this and when you launch iPhoto click on learn more. Go back to iPhoto and in the iPhoto preferences remove all references to MM and do likewise in the system preferences

MobileMe album won't show no page?

I have tried setting up a page for photos and when I drag my "MobileMe album" icon to the site it does not give me the option to choose a album, what am I doing wrong? Am I needing to link something?
Thanks,
Christopher

Are you saying the drop down menu in the widget to select the album is grayed out? I'm getting that also. This is what fixed it for me.
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
3 - launch iWeb.
4 - go to the page with the MMe Gallery widget, delete it and add a new one.
