Mobileme Gallery and iCloud

I have a Photo Gallery app on my ipad to access all albums on my iMac. With iCloud will I be able to access any album on my Mac on demand like I can now with Photo Gallery app?

                                SHALL I CRY?
I thought that Apple and I were kind of like long-time partners and that our relationship was strong and friendly. My MobileMe Account says Member Since: Jan 6, 2000. I believed that Apple respected me and would continue to make my life better. Apple has helped me to be creative and let me show to family, friends and colleagues who I was plus I could freely express myself to other members of a great Apple community around the world.
But now Apple has decided to shut down the creative works we have built together in my Gallery and on my webpages, using the tools and the support that Apple provided, without even considering its impact to me or to the Apple community as a whole. Then Apple faithful from all over kindly asked Apple to correct this obvious mistake with their postings within the Apple Communities, Facebook and other social media.
                              Apple didn’t reply.
Then Command Guru, an Italian software house specializing in Apple Apps, organized a petition and got more than 7500 Apple users from all around the world to raise the issue and identify the services that they didn’t want to lose. http://www.commandguru.com/blog/icloud_petition_1st_round
                      Apple didn't reply again.
I am all for change when change means progress. But I don't feel that flatly dropping long-term clients or kicking them in the face is positive change. No longer partner and supported, likeable and friendly Apple has become arrogant and that make me sad.
Apple has quickly become a huge company and young, arrogant MBA's are probably driving it forward. With Steve gone, I’m certain that Tim has had to make a very special effort just to keep that Apple spirit alive. The damage that has already been done to Apple’s image hasn’t even registered yet. It’s like a flashback to an earlier time, when Steve himself was driven from Apple by those who overlooked that spirit. Driven by greed, they never recognized that it was the spirit that made Apple so successful. Maybe it’s time for a refresher on
‘how to win friends and influence people’; the basics are all there.
                        Apple, save your spirit.

If I choose the "To keep using your email" option now, will I continue to be able to access our family's MobileMe Gallery and Calendar until 6/30/12 (or will I immediately lose that ability as happened to two of our MM family after moving to iCloud)?

It's possible to access iCloud email in the Mail application on Snow Leopard, Leopard or Tiger by setting it up manually:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

MobileMe Gallery/iPhoto/iCloud problem

iPhoto still shows an album under my wifes account that was downloaded 2 months ago. There are no photos in it , nor in her MobileMe Gallery. I keep getting a message that MobileMe has been discontinued. Clicking OK then it takes me to that album and then I get an error message that the migration of the photos can not be compleded even though it was. How do I get rid of this thing?

Go to iPhoto > Preferences > Accounts and delete MobileMe. Delete it in System Preferences > MobileMe because it doesn't work

MobileMe Gallery and iPhoto 11

Before, (iphoto 9), I can upload, view, play slide shows with photos in my MobileMe gallery very quickly. But with iphoto 11, it is forever pending, pending, pending... what did I do wrong?

I am not happy. I hope the guy who wrote the new codes will just talk with the people who wrote the iPhoto 9 codes and also talk with the guys who wrote the MobileMe Gallery codes. It gives people the impression that the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. This may affect the Apple stock price. Wonder if Steve is aware of the problem; does he use iPhoto 11 and MobileMe; does he permit it; and what is he doing about it. This has been taking way too long to resolve.

MobileMe Gallery and problems with new password

Hi. I'm using iPhoto 09, and have posted many MobileMe galleries over the years. Recently, I changed my MobileMe password. Now, iPhoto tells me that an "error occurred with the publication of album 'XYZ' Your MobileMe account information is not correct. The provided login or password is not valid" and it prompts me to return to MobileMe Preferences to re-enter my correct login and password. Well, the trouble is that I've done this many times. (Which also causes sync problems - but that's another story.) And though my System Preferences are now correct, I still cannot successfully update a MobileMe gallery in iPhoto. I checked my settings in the Keychain, and all is fine. I also trashed iPhoto preferences, but the problem still remains. Any thoughts on how to solve this irritating problem? Thanks!

I found another solution based on this posting.

Works perfectly.
+I have the same problem and started a thread about it on Apple's discussion board, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread....art=0&tstart=0+
+First, I'd suggest sending Apple feedback on it (select "Provide iPhoto Feedback" from the iPhoto menu).+
+When you change your MM password, you need to enter the new password in MobileMe in System Preferences. When you select MobileMe in System Preferences, it will (correctly) say that your password has changed and ask for the new one.+
+It looks like the problem with iPhoto is that when you enter the new password in MobileMe preferences, the keychain entry for it isn't being updated. Look for publish.me.com in Keychain Access. It will probably have the old password. Changing it there and then signing out/in in MM System Preferences seems to fix the problem with iPhoto. If not, try deleting publish.me.com in Keychain Access and then sign out/in to MobileMe in System Preferences.+
+Give it a try and post what happens.+

MobileMe Gallery and international characters

(May this serve as a warning to others.)
I recently had trouble posting some vacation photos to a Gallery. My initial organization included a roll named Málaga (that's an accent on the first 'a'; it's a city in Spain). Later I organized other albums but the files' pathnames still contain the accented letter.
Posting an album to a MobileMe Gallery resulted in the error:
"An error occurred with the publication of album "[whatever]." Request to the server failed".
There were no errors listed in my Console logs.
I've found Apple warnings about having punctuation marks in photos and videos but this isn't quite the same issue.
The problem was very stubborn and I didn't realize the cause until I created another iPhoto Library and happened to use different names for rolls, etc.
A bug report has been filed.
...Neil

Neil:
Using non standard asci characters in site names has always been a problem. Thanks for the heads up. Here's some information I've gleamed from the iWeb forum regarding site/page names:
Renaming a website or webpage
You can rename a site or page at any time by double-clicking its name in the site organizer and typing the new name.
The page name appears at the top of the visitor's browser.
The site name is included in the website's address (URL):
http://web.mac.com/your account name/ or
http://web.me.com/your account name/
Renamed pages and sites (as well as the site's URL) change online the next time you publish.
IMPORTANT: If you rename a site, previously created links to your site won't work; be sure to notify your visitors, especially your blog or podcast subscribers.
iWeb now converts spaces in site names to "_". Also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.
Other characters that aren't recommended for use in website names are: forward and backward slashes (/ \), brackets ([ ]), tilde (~), exclamation point !, question mark (?), "at" sign (@), number sign (#), dollar sign ($), ampersand (&), asterisk (*), colon (:), equal sign (=), comma (,), and double quotation marks ("). Using these characters may result in names with strange numbers in them.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My gallery and icloud

I'M NOT HAPPY THAT I SWITCHED TO ICLOUD THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE BETTER BUT THERE IS NO MORE GALLERY.
HOW CAN APPLE THINK THAT ICLOUD IS AN IMPROVEMENT TO MOBILE ME WHEN SO MANY OF US USED WITH SUCH EASE MY GALLERY???
I HOPE APPLE COMES UP WITH AN EASY SOLUTION REALLY SOON, EVEN IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
NOW I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO MOBILE ME.

We need to shout because Apple is not listening. I have been a loyal Apple fan for 25 years and now they just turn their backs on us. I would have been willing to pay twice the amount for Mobile Me. And I can't stand these people talking about all the wonderful alternatives and alternatives and alternatives. The very reason I came to Apple 25 years ago is now gone. I don't want to shop the marketplace, learn FTP (don't even care what it stands for and never needed to know). I just want to push that button and publish. Truth is, I am a retired tech person - one who fought with PC people my whole life and convinced many of them to switch to Apple. I am embarrassed now that the very reasons I got them to switch are being whittled away - and APPLE really don't have to do it. Now on TV and the net we see all these greedy vendors trying to sell you replacements to Apple. If they can make a profit, so can APPLE. I don't need ICLOUD. I want galleries, IDISK, IWEB. Without those, ICLOUD would only offer me SYNCED emails and I can use YAHOO mail for that. So now I have to find space somewhere and buy it and learn how to upload to it. I have to learn new web design tools that could also dissapear in a year or so. I have to figure out what to use in place of Gallery - and I don't want to make my family sign up to some service like snapfish just for the privelege of seeing my photos. I don't want them to have to pay to get a few photos. I read someone who was ENRAGED. I am right there with him. Apple is making a mistake - they make one back in the 80's as well. So now it's back to the wild wild west - a huge mess of products, vendors, procedures to replace one simple beautiful thing - Mobile Me. They are wrong. I am very hurt and upset. And all the time and energy I will spend because of their decision will probably weigh on my future purchases. I may still be here, but the excitement of buying all the latest products is gone.

Sort MobileMe Gallery and Facebook Albums

How can I sort MobileMe and Facebook albums by date (or manually)?

Hi Mark.
I had the same issue and, through trial and error, think I may have found the solution - at least for MobileMe (I haven't used the Facebook publishing yet).
If you log in to your MobileMe photo gallery web app at http://www.me.com/ then you get a list of your albums down the left side. You can drag each album up and down the list to order them.
(not sure if the next step is actually required or if you just need to wait a bit...)
Next, open up your iPhoto app and let it sync the new MobileMe album order.
Finally, go to your gallery page on the web at http://gallery.me.com/your_username and hopefully you should see the albums appear in the order you set.
If they still appear in the wrong order, try refreshing the gallery page, clearing your browser cache etc...
Hope this works for you.

IPhoto MobileMe Gallery and Passwords !@#

Appears to be an issue with posted iPhoto Galleries with personalized passwords. I have noticed that iPhoto does not consistently publish iPhoto Galleries with functioning passwords (or more accurately, MobileMe does not push down passwords evenly to all of its load balanced servers).
Some individual photos will come through following username/password authentication, while others will fail username/password authentication and come up with broken images. I have an iPhoto album on MobileMe that refuses to be viewed entirely by the published username/password pair.
To make matters worse, if a user fails authentication, they are prompted to re-enter again, and again and again ...
Latest patches on OS, and Apps - seems like we need one more.
Golan.

Golan:
Have you tried the first line, general all purpose fixes: 1 - close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps; 2 - repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
After that you can try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. Make a backup copy of the library beforehand as a precaution against a repair going bad.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back.

Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle.

Aperture, Gallery and iCloud

I currently have a Ton of picture galleries out on my Mobile Me account. Does anyone have a good suggestion with what to do with all those pictues with MobileMe going away ? I mow there are plug-ins for iPhoto to ublish to various other sites like Flickr etc but I don't sees the same level of support for Aperture 3,
Anyone ?
TIA
Peter

Peter,
Kirby already pointed out the intergrated Flickr and Facebook support - I do not use those.
I found this page by Roger Wilmuth very helpful;
Migrating from Mobile Me:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/migrate/frommobileme3.html
also Old Toad's Tutorial on how to patch iWeb to work after MoMe will be gone: iWeb will still work after MobileMe's demise; you'll only loose the web host. So look for anoter hosting service.
Modify the iWeb Application: http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html
I use Aperture's Smart Webpages to publish my Slideshows; these do not depend on MobileMe. You can publish your webpages to a folder on your disk. Then use FTP to upload the pages to any web host of your choice that offers FTP - I like to use Cyberduck for this.

Mobileme gallery in iCloud

I know that after 6/31 the MobileMe galleries go away = I assume then, if I want to "keep them up" that I have to find another host [Flickr?] or some other option? If so, any suggestions of other places to share but control who can see?

This page examines some options:

2x aperture library (desktop and notebook) sync to mobileMe gallery

i've 2x aperture library, (one on MacPro and second on Macbook Pro). How can I sync to the same MobileMe Gallery and keep both aperture mobileme album in sync (update), thanks?

MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone

In Oct 2011 a user wrote:
"I updated to iCloud and now I have both MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone 4s. I don't have the option to delete the MobileMe account so now I have two of the same account under different names. How do I delete the MobileMe and keep the iCloud?"
The following response solved that users issue:
"Open the MobileMe preferences in System Preferences, sign out. Open the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preferences and either turn off the MM account or delete it. The MM account will disappear at the end of June 2012. You can delete any MM account you have currently turned on in your iPhone's settings."
I have the same issue, and that helpful response does not apply in my situation. On my Mac, I am signed out of my MobileMe account; the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preference does not show a MobileMe account, just iCloud.
On my iPhone, Mailboxes in Mail shows my MobileMe address and iCloud entries - both mailboxes/accounts show the same folders and messages. Also, in Settings' Mail, Contacts, Calendars the Accounts does not have a MobileMe entry, just iCloud.
Mailboxes in Mail on my iPad 2, on the other hand, does not show the MobileMe address; it only shows the iCloud entry.
Any recommendations on how to remove the MobileMe entry on my iPhone?

Don't count on it! Both my iPad and iPhone4S are on 5.1 and both are having problems right now!

Import Others' pictures uploaded to my mobileme gallery

I've successfully created a Mobileme gallery and have allowed others to uploads pics to it. Is there an easy way to import pictures other have uploaded into Aperture? When I sync the gallery I see those pics in Aperture but they don't appear to actually be imported.

PhotoStream feature in iCloud solves my issue posted last August.
Thanks to Apple for the update
