MobileMe Galleries update on launch

Hello all,
My install of Aperture 3.0.1 is updating every single one of my MobileMe galleries on launching regardless of whether or not they've changed at all since the last update. It's actually called "synchronizing" when I view it in the Activity window; I don't know if that makes a difference or not. It doesn't take very long for each gallery, but I have over a dozen separate galleries and that can drag my entire system to a crawl.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if they've come up with a solution.
Thanks!

Yes. I have a lot og Gallery's too, and a fast internet connection upload but it would still bog down Aperture.
So manual is easiest for me. Aperture ready to go at launch.

IWeb not finding my MobileMe Galleries

I've just found the MobileMe Gallery widget and wanted to play around with it to see what exactly it does and what it looks like. I've made a new blank page to try it out and dragged the widget onto the page, but the little floating box says "(No albums or movies)" in the Display option, and the the box on the page says, "Upload an album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu."
I clicked the "Learn more" link on the floating box and read the help page. It didn't help. It just said that if there's nothing in that Display menu, that I'm either not connected to the internet or I haven't published any albums or movies. Both are wrong, though. I'm connected to the internet; I'm posting this, and have been browsing other sites as well, including my own MobileMe Gallery page...which brings me to my next point, which is that the other condition is also wrong: I do have albums published to MobileMe. Many galleries. And they're all there, they all work, iPhoto is in sync with them, etc. And it's the same MobileMe account, no doubt about that.
So why doesn't the widget in iWeb seem to know about my MobileMe galleries? Or is there some important fact or concept I'm completely overlooking?

That has been an ongoing problem here. First try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
Next, create a new test gallery in iPhoto and publish. Then launch iWeb and try again. Some have said that the new gallery worked to jumpstart iWeb.

MobileMe Galleries showing up in Multiple Libraries

I publish MobileMe galleries from different computers to my MobileMe account and those computers have multiple Aperture Libraries. I have noticed that some of my Aperture Libraries sync my MobileMe galleries that were created on different computers or different libraries back to that library even though the masters are not in that library. To make things more confusing, just some of my Aperture Libraries do this and others do not. Is this normal behavior?

When you say twice -- do you mean duplicates of every gmail message you receive? Or, are you receiving a copy of messages that you send to others (known issue...but there is a fix)?
Edit...
The generic BIS duplicate cause/fix instructions are here.

The gmail-specific duplicate sent items fix is here.

BTW -- the latest BIS version now will interact with gmail via IMAP, which removes the need for the sent-items rule to be placed. To use that, delete your BIS email conduit. Log into Gmail and remove POP. Then add IMAP. Then re-create the BIS conduit.

Aperture not displaying MobileMe Galleries

I have a half-dozen MobileMe galleries that I am using to allow clients to view image proofs. They are password-protected and hidden from my Gallery page.
When I opened Aperture this morning, it does not show the MobileMe item in the project pane. None of the galleries are visible. I tried creating a new gallery with a single image, and I was able to publish it. The MobileMe item appeared in the project pane as usual. I quit Aperture, and when I re-opened it, the MobileMe item is again not displayed.
When I try to access any of the galleries directly via Safari, but with Aperture open, I get a message that says, "This page is currently being published. Please try again in a moment." I quit Aperture, and then I can access the galleries as usual.
The only change to my system recently was that I upgraded to OS X 10.5.7 on Friday, and I haven't opened Aperture since the upgrade.

Let me emphasize that I have not experienced this issue. I suspect that rebuilding the Aperture Library might be of benefit -- try rebuilding the Aperture library. Launch Aperture and hold down the Command and Option keys until the Rebuild Library dialog appears.

Why are my mobileme galleries not showing up in the mobileme widget?

I've got this to work in the past. A few weeks back I deleted and/or changed most of my mobileme galleries. They are there, work fine, ect but in iWeb I cannot get them to show in the drop down menu for the widget!
Is this due to any ilife '11 upgrades or such?
Also...is there functionality to add screenshots to post here? I'm not seeing it!

Try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
It happens every so often. More a server issue than an iWeb one.

Aperture and MobileMe galleries

Hi,
I have the problem that the sorting criteria of my MobileMe galleries always change during the synchronisation process. I want the newest images to be shown on top. That's why I choose "date" as criteria. When I sync the gallery the sort criteria is set to "manual" automatically and the oldest images are shown on top.
I hoped that the newest update solves this problem but that is not the case It's still the same situation.
It is really annoying because you never know how your images show up in the MobileMe gallery.
I use Aperture 3.0.2 on a Macbook Pro 15'' with 2,4 GHz C2D.
Thanks for your feedback.

I think you are talking about the order of the Galleries here. If so it is very easy to change them but certainly not intuitive to say the least. You need to log onto your MobileMe account through a web browser. The easiest way to get there is: Apple Menu: System Preference: MobileMe button: Account tab: Account Details button.
You then log in with your name and password.
Click on the Gallery tab (sunflower) and you can drag your MobileMe Galleries into whatever order you want. You can also change the main Gallery name here.
Now I'd be real happy if I could make multiple sites and not just additional albums in the same site.

MobileMe Galleries orphaned when importing Iphoto library into Aperture 3

Can anyone advise how I can get my existing MobileMe galleries to be listed into A3. They were uploaded via Iphoto and I imported that library into A3 but the MM galleries are not there. Obviously I have filled in the appropriate boxes etc in preferences.

1) Log in to MobileMe via the web at www.me.com.
2) Click on the PHOTOS icon along the top toolbar.
3) Click the "Gear" button and select the option for "New Album".
4) Give the album title a dummy name like "Aperture Link Dummy" and under the "Syncs with:" selection, choose "Aperture".
5) Once this new album is created, you can now click on each individual MobileMe gallery that you wish to sync with Aperture and the "Lightswitch" button for "Album Settings" will now have the option to "Sync with: Aperture" as well.
6) After making the necessary Album Settings changes for those that you wish to sync with MobileMe, return to your Aperture program and go to PREFERENCES --> WEB.
7) Under the option "Check for new published photos:", select one of the options OTHER than "Automatically" and the "Check Now" button next to it should become clickable.
8) Click "Check Now" and you should immediately see Aperture add a "MOBILEME GALLERY" heading under the Library pane and will begin to import your MobileMe galleries.
This is about as far I've gotten with getting my existing MobileMe galleries into Aperture. Unfortunately, now the problem is that they are no longer linked to their respective albums/events. When in iPhoto, if I made edits to the album/events, the MobileMe gallery would automatically be updated with those changes. I assume this behavior is the same for new galleries created from within Aperture, but it does not seem to affect those galleries that were imported from iPhoto. Let me know if you get anywhere with this issue.

MobileMe Galleries disappeared from Aperture Library after rebuild

I received the warning that I needed to check my library for consistency by pressing command-option and launching aperture. The consistency check always hung up so I tried rebuild. The rebuild seemed fine but when all was done my mobileme galleries were gone. They still could be found when I launched Aperture preferences and looked at the list of galleries.
I could restore from my vault but I was looking for something easier. Any thoughts or advice?
thanks!
David

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 :

HT5132 MobileMe Galleries Migration

Hi- How do I refuse the downloading of MobileMe Galleries and stop this message from coming up in Aperture? I have all the photos that are in my Galleries.

Jane,
if Aperture still is downloading, quit or force quit. Launch Aperture again.
When the MM-alert panel appears, select "Learn more", not "o.k." Ignore the webpage that will be shown.
Open the Aperture preferences, then the "Web" tab, and remove Mobile Me from the "accounts" tab.
Then open the System Preferences, Mobile Me panel, and sign out of Mobile Me, if this panel still is available in your Preferences.
If this does not work, disconnect from the Internet, before you launch Aperture again.
Regards
Léonie

Journals to become MobileMe Galleries' replacement?

I played around with iPhoto for iPad and in particular the Journals feature, which is quite cool. I've got some issues but I guess that's to be expected with a v1.0.
It struck me that Journals could be the replacement for the MobileMe Galleries I was so sad to loose.
But to really replace Galleries, the following should happen:
Published journals should be browsable from icloud.com as the galleries are from me.com. Currently, the only way to reach them is to use the cryptic links generated by iPhoto.
The journals feature should be integrated in iPhoto on Mac OSX, where it would make even more sense.
The journals should be browsable on the AppleTV, as the MobileMe galleries currently are.
I think the above has a reasonable chance to happen. What worries me is that full iCloud compatibility may require a new version of iLife & OSX, which would left out a lot of users not equipped with the latest and coolest machine, given the Mountain Lion hardware requirements.
Hopefully, iLife '12 will still work on Lion, and, who knows, Apple may even provide a last update for the 1st gen AppleTV.

I have a couple of questions for those that have downloaded iPhoto for iOS and have played with the Journals features:
1. When viewing the Journal can the person download it to save on their computer? Can they download individual photos instead of the complete journal?
2. How big are these journals and do they count towards your iCloud space limit?
In regards to these being a replacement for Galleries it seems to be a start but besides the missing features mentioned already I would also add the ability to upload videos. Galleries was a great way to share photos but also a great way to share videos without limitations (just space). All other websites that I have looked at to replace galleries have limit on size and length of the video.

How to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?

What is the best way to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?
I want to move it smoothly without hours of reconfiguring albums and Mobileme galleries. Already have a timemachine backup of the older iMac with the iphoto library.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Aperture will not sync or create new MobileMe galleries.

I've updated to Aperture 2.1.2. I have MobileMe galleries that I've created previously but when I try to add new images to them and update them, a window appears telling me to sign in to MobileMe. It then takes me to System Preferences to enter my MobileMe credentials. I'm already logged in and my account is fine. But Aperture seems to not recognize that fact.
I've tried to sign out and back in to MobileMe in the system preferences but it makes no difference to Aperture. It appears I can no longer update, sync, or create new MobileMe albums from Aperture.

Echo that
A Mavericks / Outlook 2011 problem - all our workstations using on 10.9.3 wont connect Exchange. All was fine until today. So far, no obvious fix.
older machines running snow leopard etc not effected.
Mail works fine on all of them but not everyone likes mail...
Any ideas?

Stop checking for MobileMe galleries

Help! My Aperature has frozen, continually checking + updating "MobileMe Galleries". I went to Aperature>Preferences>Web to uncheck the box for "Automatically check for newly published albums" but the spinning ball of death won't let me uncheck it.
I can't use Aperature at all. Have Force Quit a few times. Have restarted computer too.

Does this standard procedure not work?
Force quit Aperture, if it is still running.
When the "MobileMe" panel appears, select "learn more", not "ok". Ignore the web page, that will appear.
In Aperture open the Preferences, go to the "Web" panel accounts pane and delete the "MobileMe" account.
If this does not work, disconnect from the internet before lauching Aperture (disable Wi-fi or unplug the ethernet cable). Then proceed as above.
Aperture should have stopped nagging by now, since it is no longer possible to migrate the MobileMe contents. If all fails, open the User library in the Finder (Finder menu bar > Go, hold own the alt/option key, until "Library" appears in the menu, select "Library")
Remove the file:
Your User Library > Preferences > com.apple.Aperture.plist
from the "Preferences" folder to the Desktop.
Also clear the file
Your User Library > Caches >com.apple.Aperture > mmsunset.plist
from the Aperture caches.
Post back, if this does not help.

HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing. Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
More things you can do:
With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not. You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing. As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos. I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special. Any way - search around to find answers.

Aperture 3 and MobileMe Galleries created in iPhoto

I wanted to post this to hopefully help someone else should they run into the same thing.
I recently upgraded from point and shoot camera's to a higher quality camera, so I also decided that it was time to upgrade from iPhoto to something better. I decided on Aperture as I am not quite ready to commit to the expense and time to learn something as complex as Photoshop.
Well, the first time I opened Aperture and told it to import my iPhoto library, it worked without any difficulty. But, I noticed something was missing. My MobileMe galleries where not displayed in the inspector window for Aperture. I could not for the life of me, figure out how to get them to show up in there either.
I went to the Apple store and talked to some Aperture users there and no one could seem to tell me how to fix this. It was even more frustrating because all of my photo albums from FaceBook came up in Aperture just fine.
Finally in a last ditch, hail mary pass, of an idea, I went to the web UI for my MobileMe galleries. I figured that maybe if I edited something about those galleries, they would then show up in Aperture.
Well, I went into the properties for one of the galleries that I was not seeing in Aperture, and low and behold, there in the properties was an option to choose what application that gallery would sync to. The only options are iPhoto or Aperture, so I changed each gallery to show Aperture as the chosen app to sync with.
Finally they now show in Aperture, of course, as you might expect, they no longer show in iPhoto.
I have no idea why the Import process does not warn you about this, and / or offer to change them for you, but it was very frustrating.
If this can help someone else new to Aperture to avoid this frustration, then I am glad.

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?
