MobileMe errors with Aperture

Gist of it is this, I made a gallery in Aperture, I wanted to add more photos. I then get the error message "http://publish.me.com is not a valid location for this request"...I'm fuming right now..I pay Apple for this service, and the stupidest, easiest possible thing churns out an error!

I have been getting a bunch of different errors trying to publish to mobileme. I didn't sleep the entire night trying to get a few galleries up. The only solultion I have found is to keep trying over and over with medium quality web images. I need to provide the full-size files but after all this, I plan to go another route to host the full files.
It is very frustrating to lose all that sleep and still be unable to do what I am paying to do with my images. This actually started several days ago, but I didn't want to invest the time to resolve the problems until yesterday. The errors were with brand new galleries. It was only brute-force of repeating each publish that I was able to get around no errors.
I suspect Apple is working on some new "feature" or update for iPhone owners and this is causing problems - precisely why I chose to ride it out a few days but I've got to get my galleries up.
I have to say that I'm not seeing mobileme as a reliable option for publishing photos. I cut my site way back when the .Mac service became mobileme, intending to look elsewhere because of all the problems I had to deal with. But with the free days provided, I have tried to stick with it. But each time there is something new and annoying to deal with and I rarely use or give out my mobileme address these days because of the constant errors and lack of decent support for Aperture. But I think I should try to squeeze some use out of the service I'm paying for before it expires. The economy is still hitting some of us hard and I know I can certainly think of other things to spend my money on.

How do I stop MobileMe Sync with Aperture 3?

Hi All,
I just published my first gallery to MobileMe from AP3. It was quick and easy and I like that it's easy to share to friends. However, is there any way to leave the gallery up while disconnecting or preventing Aperture from syncing with it? I don't plan to make any changes to this gallery now, after the initial upload and I'm wondering if one can just upload and be done with it (letting the gallery live on the web) - and not have Aperture try to continually connect to the gallery for updating. Or, is there a way to just update manually?
Thanks.

Hey narfee,
I found an article that can goes over how to unregister your computer from syncing.
MobileMe Sync: About registering and unregistering computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1074
It depends on what type of computer you're using, but I pasted the relevant steps below:
Unregister a computer from syncing
If you no longer want a computer to sync with MobileMe, you can unregister the computer from syncing. You can unregister any computer that is registered for syncing from any other computer with Mac OS X v10.4.11, v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, as long as you know your member name and password.
Unregistering a computer from syncing does not delete any data.
To unregister a computer from syncing:
Mac OS X v10.4.11
Open System Preferences
Click .Mac
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Mac OS X v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion
Open System Preferences
Click MobileMe
Click Sync
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Note: In Mac OS X v10.5.8, if you unregister all computers you may be prompted to delete unwanted sync data. If you are no longer syncing with MobileMe, you can delete the unused sync data from the MobileMe servers.
Windows XP or Vista
Open Control Panel
Click MobileMe Preferences
Click Sync
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Cheers,
David

Trouble creating a MobileMe Gallery with Aperture

I'm having trouble creating a MobileMe Gallery from within Aperture. In the past it work flawlessly but now it isn't working at all. This is what happens: I create a gallery from within Aperture by clicking on either "New/MobileMe Album, or "New From Selection/MobileMe Album." The gallery is made and appears in Aperture. However, when I visit the MobileMe site the Gallery doesn't contain any images. When I sync it again the gallery disappears from within Aperture all together.
Any ideas?

I resolved my problem by rebuilding the Aperture Library from the Aperture Vault. Apparently, and this makes sense, Aperture can't build a Gallery if the photo version, or photo itself is missing. I think the reason why it appeared visible is because the Preview file was embedded...

Error with Aperture Installation message

Library info directory path contains a file where a folder was expected.
The aperture library could not be created at “ ”. check the path and try again.
I created another user account and installed fine, so i then repaired permission from start up disk for my main user which did nothing , same error. I have deleted and reinstalling now. If anyone has any ideas please post. thanks

I believe Aperture creates a folder in in your shared volume user/pictures path by default. Installation finishes just fine however when launching Aperture for the 1st time is when this error occurs. I am currently re installing OSX and software. Tried to avoid but now I have no choice.

Mobileme still crashing with Aperture 2.1.3

Hello all,
I'm submitting this request for support with a problem iv been having with aperture for more than a month now.
I launched a new mobileme gallery through aperture and added some photos to the gallery, then aperture froze while its uploading the images to mobileme.
I restarted the program and it works fine until the aperture splash launch screen, after I hit continue it would take me to no where.
I can only view the apple (aperture) menu bar, i tried to view the windows but everything in the menu bars is gray.
i tried rebuilding my aperture library after that, still no go.
i tried deleting aperture and reinstalling it again. no luck either.
the only way i can see the aperture panel is if i clicked on File>Import, then from there it would freeze again.
thank you for you support

That Album in the Gallery is only a reference file: it links to images that are contained in the library. I would suggest the only safe way to remove these is to start Aperture and delete them in there. If you start going into the Finder and taking them out there, Aperture will have problems searching for files that no longer exist.
Did you also consider going into the Username>Library>Preferences folder and trashing the PLIST file? Don't empty the Trash initially in case that does not work.

Error -50 - Syncing iPhone photos with aperture

Hi,
The facts:
OS - 10.7 Lion
iTunes - 10.4
iOS - 4.3.5
So when I updated to Lion and iTunes 10.4 my photos from Aperture will no longer sync with my phone. I get the error (-50), which to my understanding is a time out error. Now when I sync with iPhoto it works, no error.
Any help with getting my iPhone to sync with Aperture would be appreciated.
Rob

Found this link that works the first time you sync, but give me the same error the next time I sync.

Errors with Time Machine (not completing backup, and needing to erase the ".inProgress" package)

I have in a previous discussion been talking about errors with my Time Machine backup. The errors were with a problem with Indexing a file, it fails and stops the whole backup. Each time it attemps another backup, it fills my ".inProgress" package with a (nearly) whole backup, filling my Time Machine hard drive, and thus errasing my previous good backups. The error occurs after about 95% completion.
In my last post of a similar disscussion, the problem was indexing the Preference Pane files and this caused the whole backup to fail. This was my last post there: (below in some additional info of my situation)
I did exclude the MobileMe.prefPane. And I got:

Dec 17 03:40:50 Thomas-P-Kellys-iMac com.apple.backupd[99858]: Backup failed with error: 11
This time it was the Mouse.prefPane that caused the error. I'd like to exclude the entire PreferencePanes directory.
This was my error message this time:
I just realized this was on my small Developers partition. Perhaps there is an error with the build, OR an error with the initial restore. I'd like to perhaps exclude the entire /Volumes/Mac OS Lion GM. I expect that Time Machine is working fine with my main partition and the error happens when it's almost done with the Mac OS Lion GM partition.
The problem now is that I only have 265 GB of 3 TB available on my Time Machine HDD. If attempt another backup, it'll surely erase about 410 GB of my past saved backups. I've already lost 6 months, and I only have two months left of backups. I need to erase the ".inProgress" package again. That'll take time, and it's impossible to do from this main partition, even at root access. This ".inProgress" has a total of two (nearly) full backups; it didn't cleanup the first full backup attempt while starting the second,perhaps it would have had it finished. But I fear even if I exclude the whole "Mac OS Lion GM" partition, It'll create a third full backup before cleanup and erase ~400 GB of previous good backups. Then, I'll have a total of 4 (nearly) full backups! 3 TB is just enough without any past backups.
Maybe I'll just copy my documentations of my 'errasing the ".inProgress" package' last time (from the Mac OS Lion GM partition) and do a full restore of just that partition. Thus erasing the errors all together. If it doesn't fix the errors then this could be a bug in the build that doesn't allow Time Machine to work. I've always included this partition in Time Machine before, even with other Lion builds, so I suspect that it was an error in the initial restore. (I may be answering my own questions, and that the inital restore (of the small partition) is the problem, and I just need to re-restore the small partition)
Again, I'm going to have to erase the ".inProgress" file to regain 1.53 TB of space before proceeding.
Also, I gave myself permission to read the ".Backup.345781513.887697.log", the log that was created last night when I first started Time Machine this last time. It was interesting, but didn't show the error I could see from the console.
Right now, mds and mdworker appear to be going crazy even after I just now turned off Time Machine. I think I'll let it go for the rest of the night. Then I'll work on erasing the ".inProgress" package from the other partition boot up.
That was my entire last post. To add some information, I have two OS X partitons, both Mac OS X Lion. One is my large main partition, the other is one I don't mind testing with. I recently replaced my internal hard drive in my iMac and restored from Time Machine both partitions. This appeared to go smoothly. But I have yet to create a single successful Time Machine backup since. At first it was doing a Full Backup, which I didn't like, but now it just aborts around 95% completion. Each, time, it tries it fills the Time Machine hard drive with duplicate (nearly) full backups errasing my older good backups. I would like to erase the ".inProgress" file to save space.
My main question in this new discussion is does anyone know of a good way of erasing the ".inProgress" file? This is so I can preseerve my previous backups. ACLs and other permissions seem to make it impossible to erase from this startup partition, the one I'm running Time Machine from. Even at root level, if I give myself permission to change permissions or delete a file, it'll say Operation not Permitted instead of Permission Denied. I have been able to delete this ".inProgress" package before when booting from the other partition, but with great difficulty. I have had much help from another Member in this Support Community when it comes to solving my Time Machine problems. I think I have found the problem (indexing files in my small OS X partition), as stated in my copy& pasted post above, but I really need to delete this inProgress package first to save space before continuing!

See if there's anything you haven't done, that applies, in the pink box of #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting
Otherwise, since most (or all?) of the indexing errors are in OSX, you might want to just reinstall it. Something may have gone wrong sometime, that damaged those files.
I reviewed #C3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting and I have already done most of those things. I have just learned something new though:
When I included my Main OS X partition again, I got an indexing error for the first time for that partition. I might be interesting to note that the _spotlight process was running, and it's running again (the magnifying glass has a dot and it generically says "Indexing Tom's iMac"). mdworker, mds and backupd processes really are working hard, one moment they used over 500% of my CPU. It's nice to know for once quad core is good for something other than video encoding. (Now if they could just get the Finder to do more than 100.1%, only 1 thread is doing 100%, I'd like to see file size calculations 8 times quicker!)
I never got an indexing error once in the past 2 weeks for that large Mac OS X v10.7.2 main volume, and it had appeared to finish that partition backup before running into problems with my smaller test partition. Also, I had just updated the smaller test partition with a later build of Mac OS X. But It appears that the beta builds are clearly not the problem. I thought I could just restore again (from the December 4th backup) the small partition and both would be fine.
I'll finish reviewing all the suggestions on Time Machine - Troubleshooting and go from there. Hopefully, the _spotlight indexing simutaniously was the only problem. It's strange that the indexing hasn't happened since the original restore last week untill I finally got a good clean complete partial Time Machine backup. Why would the first Time Machine backup trigger indexing again?
For now, I'm going to exclude the Main Partition again, and let another good backup run. And try your suggestions. (And wait till mds, mdworker, etc. to finish!)
I have the logs of the first two sucsessful backups and the last two failed backups from the last 3 hours, if that would help.?

HELP moving photo's from hard drive with aperture to hard drive with iphoto

I was trying to move the photo's from hard drive a with aperture to hard drive b and start using iphoto but I have had no luck. In aperture when I select relocate masters a error comes up and say's: unavailable master images cannot be relocated. Either offline or not found. I originally had the masters on a external hard drive, when I got divorced my ex took the external drive for her mac. I am able to view the photos but I don't know how to move them. Thanks

I think you're missing the point - it's a question of where the images are, and it sounds a lot like the images are on the hard disk you used to own.
Managed = you keep the images in the Aperture library
Referenced = the images stay where they are on the hard disk and they're indexed in the library.

Is anyone else having a weird bug in MobileMe gallery with volume on iOS 5

Is anyone else having a weird bug in MobileMe gallery with volume on iOS 5? I am having a weird problem, where if I view a video I have uploaded and change the volume, I used the on-screen slider and It changed the volume but it also popped up like I was controlling it from the side. I thought that was kind of weird. If you want to see my problem, there will be a video up on Contemputech.com within a half-hour of me writing this.
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I'm hoping you are no longer having problems with your iPhone visual voice mail.
I can understand how frustrating it is to not be able to access such a great feature on your iPhone.
We did determine customers not being able to access Visual Voicemail on their iPhones.
Common errors are "visual voicemail is not available" or it just keeps loading the message.
(In the meantime, you can still review voicemail messages by dialing *86)
This issue should have been resolved for everyone effective 3/2/12.
Please let me know if you are still having problems with iPhone Visual Voicemail by sending me a direct message.
Thanks for your patience with this.

Add old/existing mobileme galleries to Aperture?

I have created mobileme galleries with iPhone and iPhoto on another computer, and would now like to be able to manage them on Aperture 3. Is this possible?
I have imported the old iPhoto library, but none of the mobileme galleries imported.
I have already created a new mobileme gallery from Aperture, so I'm signed in ok.

You might try this.
View your mobileme gallery via your web browser.
Single click on your gallery.
Then click on the "Adjust settings" button (Looks like two sliders)
Look towards the bottom of the pane and you'll find "Syncs with"
You might be able to change that from iPhoto to Aperture

Cannot sync existing MobileMe galleries with Entourage instead of iPhoto

Hi.
I just purchased Aperture 3 and I am in the middle of totally replacing iPhoto with Aperture, or at least trying to.
I have a bunch of MobileMe gallery albums currently synced with iPhoto and would like to sync them with Aperture. I do not want to re-create them and have to send a new URL for each album to my friends.
I remember seeing a button in the MobileMe album settings to change that (when I did not even have Aperture installed).
And an Apple support article clearly describes it (at the end of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1675)
But the "syncs with" button is now nowhere to be found on my MobileMe albums, which is very inconvenient.
Anyone else seeing (or not) this setting ? Or having found it in a new place?
Thanks in advance,
Jerome.

I am try to do exactly the same thing with the same problem.
The instructions are clear enough in the KB/TS1675:-
"Additional Information
As a new feature in MobileMe Gallery, you can change the application with which an album is synced.
For example, if you add an album to your Gallery using iPhoto and you want to see it in the Aperture Gallery list:
Select and enter the album
Click the Album Settings icon in MobileMe Gallery toolbar (looks like a light switch)
Change the application next to "Syncs with" from iPhoto to Aperture
Click Change"
But there is no "syncs with" option....

Relinking MobileMe Galleries to Aperture

I recently rebuilt my Aperture DB and noticed that once back all my MobileMe galleries weren't showing up on the left sidebar. I went into the MobileMe preferences in Aperture and they are all listed there. Does anyone have a solution for re-referencing (or reconnecting) MobileMe galleries to the sidebar? Without this they are sort of useless for me, just sitting out there on the web.
BTW, I did try creating a new gallery to see if that would somehow magically force them all to be referenced. It instead will only show that new gallery.
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
- Harold

I have the same question. I initially used iPhoto to create and manage my stuff, along with mobileme galleries. I want to switch to Aperture, but I do not know how to gain control of existing mobileme galleries through Aperture. I don't really want to recreate them all.
Can someone answer this for us?

New and Persistent MobileMe Error Message

A new and persistent MobileMe Error Message keeps hounding me. No troubles since the demise of MobileMe until lately. Please see the attached photo.
So far, I've deleted all references to MobileMe within my Keychain, re-checked my information in Apple Mail my "Mac.com/Me.com" account, gone to System Preferences to make sure the old MobileMe options (member name and password) are blank ... I'm OS-maxed-out at Snow Leopard, and deleted all plist files with references to MobileMe.
Any ideas for me? Thanks so very much.

Yes, those are no longer vaild, no idea why it's just happening now!?
Being IMAP, you should be able to delete that account, but for safety I'd backup at least your Mail.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    •    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 993
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    •    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    •    SSL Required: Yes
    •    Port: 587
    •    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    •    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    •    Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...
