Mobileme Gallery download quality

I am making a slideshow from photos my son took on vacation. He has published them on his Mobileme Gallery.
When I download the photos, they are compressed & I get the photos in a zipped folder which I import to iPhoto.
Has the picture quality reduced so the resulting slideshow will not be as good as if he sends me the photos some other way such as in iDisk?

Not entirely. There are two settings that can be used when creating a gallery:

The Actual size will essentially be the same as if he sent them some other way. It might have some jpeg compression applied but should not affect image quality.

Download MobileMe Gallery Pics to iPhoto Library

I have various MobileMe Galleries that I use to share photos with Friends and Family. Sometimes they add photos as well.
Using my iPhoto I can then download their new photos, that have been added to my gallery. I can create a new Album where they show up - but they do not appear in the full library of all photos.
Can I fix this somehow, or would I need to then export them and reimport them into my iPhoto Library?
thanks,
Stefan.

Hi Terence. thanks for your reply. I think that just led me into the right direction.
I usually just added the images from the shared MobileMe Galleries to Albums only. A green plus sign appears, and the show up in the album but not the Library.
If however I drag them from the MobileMe Gallery onto 'Photos' under the Library Tab, the image count in the libraries goes also up. So - even if they are in an album, and can be located locally on my computer, they do not appear in the Library. Drag them on 'Photos' and there they are... Strange.
But thanks for your help!

What happens to iMovie projects with the demise of MobileMe Gallery?

Will a new "hosting service" be able to pick up, in tact, video productions created on iMovie and published to MobileMe Gallery?
Who might be some potential "hosting services" that could guide me in an orderly and relatively painless transfer of my iMovie projects?
I'm looking for a paid service that can offer a quality presentation of my work...versuses a "just OK" free service.
Please communicate in layman's terms...I'm not particularly tech-savy.

I too am not a techie...but with the assistance of the SmugMug customer support team, I now have a very viable replacment for MobileMe when the Apple service ends in June. All I had to do is go to iDisk where my iMovie projects currently reside and download each project to my computer, creating a file. That file can then be uploaded to SmugMug. As with MobileMe, the publishing process (uploading) takes awhile. A six minute iMovie took about an hour. But once in place, you can either distribute via SmugMug's broådcasting system or you can create a short version of the URL (the site address) and include that in a standard email to family and friends.
When I learned of the demise of MM...I was fearful that would be the end of my iMovie projects. Definitely not so with the discovery of SmugMug! And like I said in the second posting above, the good folks at SmugMug are totally on top of the whole customer support thing...so you won't be out there wondering what to do next.

Videos Won't Play in Mobileme Gallery App

Hi. I recently downloaded the MobileMe Gallery app. The app displays the Photo Albums and Videos in my gallery but, when I try to play the videos, I get this message: "This video can't be played on this device." The videos were created in Imovie and shared directly to my MobileMe gallery, so I'm not sure why I can't play them on my phone. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Me too - iMovie video, uploaded to My Gallery, accessed via Safari 4.0 on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, is displayed on the screen with the Apple equivalent of the Microsoft spinning hour-glass (you know, the clockwise tick thing) with a question mark sat in the middle of it all. And the video completely refuses to play.
I know it's a Safari problem because the video plays fine when I use Firefox. I have even tried uninstalling Safari (drag and drop to the Trash) and then reinstalling. I've got to the point where I'm thinking of dropping Safari altogether, even if it does have nice MobileMe sync settings...
Come on Apple, what's the craic here?

MobileMe Gallery features in iweb?

I have started to create a Family website using iWeb and want to be able to allow family members to upload and download pictures to their own albums on the site. It looks like a MobileMe Gallery would provide that type of functionality, but I do not have a MobileMe account and can no longer sign up for one. Is their anything in iWeb or iCloud that would provide this same type of functionality?

iWeb just made the layout and appears to not be expected to continue developement.
MobileMe Gallery does not currently appear to have an equal in iCloud.

Remember we are in the digital age where things constantly change. iPhoto support sharing to Facebook and Flickr directly. If I were to hazzard a guess not many people, as an average, were publishing to MobileMe, opting for the other mentioned solutions. You and I might be part of a minority that did. It is possible that a similar feature will appear down the road, but for now... don't count on it.

Metadata in mobileme gallery

I created a MobileMe gallery and the metadata isn't there when I look at the info tab when a picture is selected. How do I get the metadata to show up?

Go to the Settings in the Moobileme Gallery menu in Aperture. Towards the right corner of Aperture. In order for this info show, you have to select Downloading of Optimized Images. Do you want people to be able to download your photos?

Hyperlinks in MobileMe Gallery?

Is it possible to include hyperlinks anywhere in the descriptions of photos in MobileMe Gallery (or in iPhoto photo descriptions), that will get uploaded to MobileMe Gallery? Or is iWeb my only choice to achieve this?
Thanks!
Kenneth

No.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

No captions in MobileMe gallery?

Is there no way to publish a MobileMe gallery with pics that have captions underneath them? I wrote the captions in the info pane of each pic in iPhoto, but when I published, the captions were not there. I hope I'm missing something, because not being able to post captions is ridiculous.

MM:
There is a way to do what you want. It involves running an Applescript that replaces the photo's title with the captions before you publish. You can then revert the titles back to the file names with the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name menu option.
The Applescript can be found here (be sure to read the comments to the post to catch the error in the script): An AppleScript to copy iPhoto Description to Name

Mobileme gallery in iPhoto, strange behavior

Frequently but not always, I open iPhoto and the items in my Mobileme Gallery have the rotating upload ikon as if uploading. iPhoto is slow and behaves erratically. I force quit and when I start again iPhone works normally and all items in the Gallery have the broadcast ikon. What's the problem?

Do you have your MobileMe gallery setup so others can upload to it? If so then iPhoto is checking the site to update the gallery in iPhoto.

Iphoto crashes when settings clicked in mobileme gallery

On both of my computers, an Air and a Pro with Leopard, when the settings "gear" icon is pressed in a Mobileme Gallery, iphoto freezes and must be force quit. The browser version of the gallery can be accessed but settings such as allowing downloads, uploads or changing passwords is not accessible.

Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

GPS info in MobileMe Gallery pictures. Google Map?

I took pictures on my iPhone, downloaded them into iPhoto, and made sure the GPS info was in the files. I created a MobileMe gallery, uploaded it, and checked to discover that when you click on the "i" icon in the MobileMe gallery from a web browser the GPS info doesn't show. I want to send my MobileMe Gallery link to somebody and have them see on something like a Google Map where they were taken. Is this not possible?

Same for me: iPhoto prefs are ok (prefs - web - include location info), but still no data in Mobileme Gallery. Is this a bug, will this be updated soon? Some people succeed to get some pictures done, I don't get any!! (http://gallery.me.com/altosaxo#100631)

Portrait oriented photos are not sync'ed to MobileMe gallery

I've tried to upload some pictures of an event to my MobileMe account:
I've selected the photos, clicked on MobileMe and selected the option to allow downloads.
The photos get synced but those photos that were originally taken in portrait mode (and autorotated by the camera or iPhoto) didn't show up in my MobileMe gallery! Also, those missing photos are still flagged as "not yet sync'ed" in the iPhoto preview of the shared gallery. If I disable the option to allow downloads, all photos are uploaded correctly.
Interestingly, it does not help to rotate the portrait photos to landscape mode, they still don't get synced. And landscaped photos that are rotated to portrait are synced normally. It only affects those photos that were originally taken in portrait mode.
(In case it helps: I used a Canon EOS 450D to take those pictures.)
Best regards,
RaCha

RaCha2:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There should be no problem using autorotated photos in a web gallery. This test gallery is composed entirely of auto-rotated photos from a Canon SD700 and all uploaded and displayed as expected. .
First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and publish again. Next, if needed, launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
You don't want to convert to gifs as they only support 256 colors and would make your photo look poorly.

Sharing photos via MobileMe Gallery - what alternative?

I have been sharing photos with my soon to be 80 years old mother via my MobileMe gallery, all I had to do was send her the link, while all she had to do was subscribe to my gallery in order to have the images download to iPhoto. This was easy and straightforward for her.
How should I handle this task after the discontinuation of MobileMe? PhotoStream doesn't seem to be designed for this task, and I don't want her to have to jump through too many hoops, since she still uses her computer on a beginner's level.
Thanks for any suggestions!

MobileMe Gallery + Smart Folder; why doesn't it automatically update?

I used to use Photocasting on iPhoto 6. This worked great in that I published a photocast of a smart folder and any new items that matched the smart folder were automatically published.
I upgraded to iPhoto '08 specifically so that people could subscribe to an album via RSS and have it work on any computer.
Unfortunately, with iPhoto '08 the MobileMe Gallery doesn't seem to remember that it was based on a smart folder and I have to manually add additional pictures to publish in the MobileMe Gallery.
What am I missing? All I want is to have a smart folder automatically publish all new matches to an RSS feed for my friends & family to see new pics.
Please advise as to how anyone is able to accomplish this.

MobileMe galleries are separate from the album that you initially use to create them. Any photo added to the album also has to be manually added to the gallery. It's the nature of the beast. You can put in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
