MobileMe Galleries created in Aperture are syncing with iPhoto

I used to use iPhoto, but switched to Aperture 3. Now when I create a MobileMe Gallery, the photos publish to the site but don't show up in the Aperture library under MobileMe. When I log in to the Mobileme site, I check the settings for the gallery and it says it is syncing with iPhoto. I can change it to Aperture manually, and then it will show up properly when I go back to Aperture, but I can't figure out why it's defaulting to iPhoto. I went into the iPhoto preferences and removed all accounts, and there also are not any photos in iPhoto at all. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Richard, very helpful. I wondered why I couldn't see my old mobileme galleries in Aperture.
I have swapped between iPhoto '09, Aperture 3, iPhoto '11 and now back to Aperture. Whilst I love the ease of use and relative speed of iPhoto, Aperture's adjustments and masters/versions handling has the edge for me now that my masters collection is too big for my MBP. And with a clean install of Lion my machine now seems more responsive than it has been for a while.
Changing the setting of each gallery is a bit dull, is there a global 'manage mobile me galleries with iPhoto/Aperture' setting anywhere?

Aperture changes syncing with iPhoto

Is there any way to make changes to a photo in Aperture and have the changes reflected in my iPhoto library? And Will I be able to revert back to the original if need be?
Or would it just be easier to import my whole iPhoto library into Aperture and forget about iPhoto altogether?
Thanks,
Dennis

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
s there any way to make changes to a photo in Aperture and have the changes reflected in my iPhoto library?
No. There is no two-way integration between iPhoto and Aperture. The integration is designed to assist those migrating from iPhoto up to the more capable application. Iphoto has no ability to read the Aperture library.
What you can do is access the previews from Aperture by dragging them from the Media Browser (iPhoto: File -> Show Aperture Library).
Or would it just be easier to import my whole iPhoto library into Aperture and forget about iPhoto altogether?
Yes.

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

My iTunes is suddenly saying both my iPod & iPhone are synced with another computer, which they have not been.

I recently lost all of the music from my laptop's hard drive, and therefore from i-Tunes. I still have all of my music on my iPhone (3GS) (and a smaller version on my iPod Touch (3)), however when I try to sync them iTunes says the devices are synced with another computer & the only options I have is to erase the iPhone/iPod & sync with the very little music that has been able to be recovered back into iTunes, or to transfer the purchases. I have checked the computer is authorised for my iTunes account, and have transferred the purchases back. I really don't want to have to reload my CDs on when they are all on other devices.
Does anyone know why iTunes is suddenly not recognising devices it did previously, and how I get it to recognise them again? And most importantly, how I can transfer the music on my iPhone/iPod back into the laptop's iTunes?

The music was accidentally deleted as I was cleaning up my SafeSync account (like a Cloud) & I unwittingly deleted My Documents & My Music from my hard drive as I did so - these are the only files that were affected. So no catastrophic issue apart from me not knowing what I'm doing.
And IT guy performed a recovery for me but was only able to retrieve about 10% of my documents and only 45 songs of the 1700 or so I had. There is no up to date back up of my computer - trust me I've learnt a lesson there.
Since then iTunes doesn't recognise my devices as being synced to that computer, but there is no other computer for them to be synced to so I don't understand how this happened or how to fix it. I understand that my devices aren't back ups, but it seems stupid to lose the 1700 songs I have on my iPhone. I have transferred the purchases, but the majority of them are songs I've loaded from CDs & obviously it would be a very time consuming process to try to reload all of them - obviously something I would like to avoid if possible.

What do you do when you try and sync your phone and it says you are synced with another computer and u are not?

I am having trouble syncing ringtones and movies

If it says you are synced with another computer, you are synced with another computer. The only alternative is you have wiped and reloaded the computer that you normally sync with, essentially making it a new computer.

Control which events are synced with iPad?

I have iCloud set up on my Mac/iPad, and it is successfully syncing my calendar events.
However, I don't want minor recurring events that I have on my Mac calendar to be popping up alarms and cluttering up the calendar on my iPad.
How do I control which events are synced with the iPad?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could either make a calendar under "On My Mac" to take the events you do not want synced to iCloud.
Alternatively make a calendar under "iCloud" for them and uncheck it on the calendar list on your iPad.
Best wishes

Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme. Why do they not sync with Icloud

Quickbook contacts use to sync with Mobileme. Why do they not sync with Icloud

MobileMe used SyncServices, part of the System, to sync contacts. iCloud uses a different protocol and evidently Quickbooks can't work with this.

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

Not all albums are syncing with between itunes match and iphone 5.. WHY!!!

First, disable iTunes Match on the iPhone. Open the Music app and let the content clear out. Now, in iTunes, disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows). Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, and re-open it. Turn iTM back on and let it complete it's scan. The songs that are "waiting" ought to get converted to "purchased," "uploaded" or "matched." Once the scan is complete re-enable the service on the iPhone.

TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default. If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar. If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer. Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off. When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone. After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone. Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

How can I use slideshows that I have created in Aperture 3 (complete with captions and music tracks) in my DVD through iDVD version 7.1.2 ? iDVD Manuals that I have read seem to avoid explaining that export process. Any advice will be greatly appreciate

How can I use slideshows that I have created in Aperture 3 (complete with captions and music tracks) in my DVD through iDVD version 7.1.2 ? iDVD Manuals that I have read seem to avoid explaining that export process.

Export the slideshow from Aperture as a .mov file and import it into iDVD.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
I look forward to you help and advice
Mark

Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

Sync with iPhoto 11: Events in iTunes not same as in iPhoto 11

I have an event to which I have been merging photos off and on since Sept. 2010. Up to the last time I synced the iPad, that event displayed as a single event in the iTunes list from which I select the photos that I want to sync between iPhoto and the iPad. Now, however, that event appears split in iTunes, even though it is still a single event in iPhotos. Since I have specified to sync all photos, I am now seeing about fifty event with the same name as the single event on the iPad, even though it is a single event in iPhotos.
I have rebuilt my iPhoto library, but that does not seem to help.
Has anybody experienced this problem and solved it? If not, does anybody have suggestions?
Richard

@Gregory,
Yes, I have restored iPhoto 9.1.1 from Time Machine. I also ended up restoring the last version of iPhoto Library on which iPhoto 9.1.1 was used. It's important that you don't use the older version of iPhoto in conjunction with a version of iPhoto Library that has been touched by iPhoto 9.1.2. Of course, you will then have to redo any work that you did in iPhoto 9.1.2. And when you next sync an iOS device, iTunes will notice that you are syncing with a different library and ask permission to delete the photos on the device and replace them by the photos you have selected. That, in turn, will involve optimizing the photos for the device. 11,000 photos will take a long time, but not as long as my 18,000+ photos.
By the way, restoring an iPhoto Library of 18,000+ photos creates problems of its own. The library is approx. 154 GB large, and I didn't have enough room on my hard disk for the then-current version and the version to be restored, so I had to delete the former and empty the Trash in order to create enough space.

Richard

IMovie 6.0.3 does not sync with iPhoto 8.1

iMovie 6.0.3 will no longer sync with iPhoto 8.1. I get a message "Open iPhoto 2 or later or Aperture 1.5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library in this list."
This was working fine just days ago.
I am using OS X 10.6.1

Hi Doug,
Writing just in case you found out the cause off-forum. Same issue exactly. Thanks!

Iphone 4 will not sync with iphoto

Iphone four will not sync with iphoto, error message appears. any suggestions?

Currently downloading upgrades from the "Software Updates" so hopefully that will help,
Which updates are these? For iPhoto or for you phone's operating system?
If you plan on upgrading iPhoto it will require a purchase of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com
or
upgrading your MBP to Mavericks and downloading the latest version, 9.5, from the App Store for free.

Unable to Sync with iPhoto albums

Using iTunes 6.01 and iPod Video I wish to sync with iPhoto (5.04) albums.
In iTunes Preferences/iPod/Photos I have selected the Synchronize photos from iPhoto but am unable to select an album (Copy selected albums only is grayed out and no albums appear in the selection box). iPhoto operates OK and photos are stored on external firewire drive.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if you are still having this problem, but I think the issue might be corrupt or malformed data being written by iPhoto to the albumdata.xml file in your iPhoto library folder.
One common cause of this is having an ampersand in a keyword (e.g. "vacations & travel") and then using the keyword in a smart album. Having an ampersand in a folder in the Finder path where your library is located can also cause this, as can keywords that use foreign character encodings.
The quick way to find out the offending corrupt data is to download iPhoto Library Manager (http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/iPhotoLibraryManager.dmg) and then point it to your iPhoto library folder. The album column will tell you the line number of the malformed data in the XML file, and then you can open the XML file, locate the line number and see what item is causing the issue. If it is a keyword, just open iPhoto and delete it. If it is a caption or other text, delete or rename in iPhoto. Do not edit the albumdata.xml file directly, as this file is automatically generated by iPhoto and any changes you make will be overwritten. (more detailed steps on troubleshooting this issue is at http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/Documentation/iPLM/pgs/albumdata.html)
