Moving MobileMe albums

Now that MobileMe (MM) is no longer in use, I keep getting a "Moving MobileMe albums..." information box whenever i open iPhoto. This is after a dialogue box that informs me the MM is no longer available. There is nothing I can do but accept that I would like to continue after this dialogue box.
The screen will now just sit like this in iPhoto and just hang there. There is no message saying that iPhoto is not responding and no "beach ball". This locks up my iPhoto and there is nothing I know how to do to get past this.
Any assistance/ advice would be great. How can I get to use my iPhoto once again?

Quit (or force quit) iPhoto, if it is still hanging.
When the " MM is no longer available" dialog box appears, select "Learn More", and not o.k.
Open the iPhoto Preferences, select the "Accounts" tab, and remove the "MM" account.
If this is not possible, disconnect from the Internet (turn of Wi-fi or unplug the ethernet), before you launch iPhoto again, then delete the MM account from the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab.
After this, open the System Preferences, MobileMe panel and sign out of MobileMe.

Aperture stuck "moving MobileMe albums"

Aperture 3.3.1 running on a 27 inch iMac with OS 10.7.4
I did have a subscription to MobileMe but as we all know, that service isn't offered any more.
Now when I open Aperture, I get an automatic popup telling me that MobileMe isn't available any more and that Aperture will move my albums from MobileMe to preserve them.
Then Aperture gets stuck moving these albums...
Trouble is, I don't have any albums on MobileMe (I deleted them all before the service closed).
So my Aperture just sits there, frozen on "moving MobileMe albums".
HELP!!!!!
I need to work and can't without my Aperture behaving itself and not just sitting there, stuck.
Any suggestions, guys???

Quit or Force quit Aperture, if necessary. Then relaunch.
When the "MobileME" pop-up appears, press the "learn More" button, not the "o.k." button.
In the Aperture preferences open the "We" pane and in the "Accounts" tab remove "Mobile Me".
If this does not work, disconnect your internet (disable WI-fi, unplug the ethernet cable) before you relaunch Aperture.
Then log from Mobile Me in the System Preferences, like mende1 said.
Good luck.

HT5132 If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

If I've already moved MobileMe albums to iPhoto, how can I stop the prompt asking me to move them to Aperture?

To William Lloyds recommendation I have to add the following: I tried to implement the suggestion and thus to have the Mobileme-account closed to avoid the lenghty process mentioned, however, I am given to understand that if one choose to have the account closed, ALL of the galleries/albums etc, so far hosted within Mobileme will ALSO be deleted within APERTURE!! And that is not exactly what I want, in as much as I am intending to move everything (Galleries etc) to Smugmug...any suggestions as to eliminate the migration suggeted within Aperture?

Aperture moving mobileme albums, won't stop, won't quit ! I have these images on HD

Aperture 3.2.4
I have a progress bar which tells me 'Moving MobileMe alums ...'
I can't stop it (no x button ) I can't quit the app.
I can't use the app & I have the images on my hard drive.
I did ot initiate this action it's just taken over
I'm really annoyed.
Any thoughts

Relaunch Aperture, and click on the Learn Moe link -- ignore the resulting web page. The go into Aperture Preferences/Web and remove any reference to MobileMe account info. Then in System Preferences log out of MobileMe.

Every time I launch iPhoto I get a "Moving MobileMe albums..." message

And a never ending wheel spin - program frozen. Relaunching, rebooting and repairing the database have not helped. All software is current. I have a 2010 iMac. All help greaty appreciated! Be more than happy to just delete the MobileMe albums.

(Force) Quit iPhoto, then relaunch.
When you see the "Mobile Me" panel, press the "learn more" button, not the "o.k." button.
In iPhoto open the Preferences, "Accounts" tab, and delete the Mobile Me Account.
Then go to the System Preferences - Mobile Me Tab- and sign out of Mobile Me or press the "Visit me-com" button to go to your galleries and delete or download the albums.

I've already dealt with my MobileMe Albums, and now Aperture 3.3.1 is stuck on moving them -- 28 hours and counting. How do I stop it?

Quit Aperture
Then disconnect from internet (WiFi, Ethernet, etc.)
Launch Aperture again.
In the Aperture Preferences Web Tab remove MobileMe.
After that you can connect again to to the Internet.
Probably the "Quit" button does not work. Then try to quit using the Terminal to avoid "Force Quit":
Launch the Terminal (from Applications > Utilities) and enter
killalll Aperture
If this does not work, use "Force Quit".
See here why to avoid force quitting:
If Aperture is unresponsive, how to avoid force quitting?

I have multiple iPhoto albums, so this move is pushing thousands of pictures to each library. Why doesn't this come with a "No, Thanks!" option since I've ALREADY ensured the MobileMe albums were captured? I've never seen Apple force an action like this!
Worse - According to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4328, "photos you published to MobileMe from your library may be moved from their original events into a new event called "From MobileMe"." - so the forced move has probably scrambled my events in every library. The 'fix'? Search for matching photos and if not found, copy and paste into the desired event. It will take DAYS for me to recover from this undesired and ill-considered forced action.

Load your backup from just before this and when you launch iPhoto click on learn more. Go back to iPhoto and in the iPhoto preferences remove all references to MM and do likewise in the system preferences

IWeb 08 / Aperture 2 / MobileMe albums "No albums or movies available"

I've searched the forums and there doesn't seem to be a resolution for this. It seems the issue has been known about for quite some time now; hard to believe Apple is just ignoring this.
basics:
I created MobileMe albums via Aperture 2. I open iWeb '08 and go to insert the album and get this message: "No albums or movies available"; this message also appears via the Widget add. The albums are NOT password protected.

Well I have found a work around... Though others need to test it as well as me.
Log into me.com and open the gallery you prepared in aperture.
Select the "Adjust the settings for this album" button at the top, then select the pop-up that says "Syncs with" and choose "iPhoto" instead of "Aperture".
Press "Publish".
That's it, the gallery now appears in the iWeb Widgets list!
Also it still syncs with Aperture, both way

How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums? I don't have any! I never did!!! The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

How do I export a movie from imovie to a particular mobileme album

The Mobileme Gallery option in the Share menu of iMovie does not provide for exporting to a particular mobileme album. What is the best way to do this?

You can do it any of four ways.
1) SHARE/to iTUNES
In this case you can right-click on the movie in iTunes and select reveal in Finder. Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
2) SHARE/to Media Browser
I don't recommend this way because it is easy to inadvertently mess up an important file if you don't know what you are doing. But if you want to, you can find your movie inside the project RCPROJECT package in the movies folder.
Then open Facebook's video import page and navigate to your movie.
3) SHARE/to Movie
You will get a dialog box allowing you to save the movie to a place of your choice. You can upload it to youtube from there.
4) SHARE/Export to QuickTime. Here you can customize the setting of your video. Unless you have a great deal of knowledge about video and audio codecs, use the above options, which create great results for Facebook.

"manually manage music..." missing songs when moving multiple albums at once

Since updating to iTunes 10.6.1.7, when adding songs to my iPhone (iPhone 4, iOS 5.1) it does not fully copy every track/song.
I have it set to "manually manage music and videos" ...when I am moving multiple albums to the thing at once, the earlier albums only copy the songs started before I select the next album. Consequently, I find that I only have partial albums for almost everything. I suppose I could be patient and wait for each album to download before selecting another album, but this used to work before and took a lot less time. (I would drag multiple albums into my iPhone and it would queue up all of the tracks(songs) and correctly download asynchronously.)
Is this a known bug or is there something I am doing wrong? (As always, I did some searching for answers but came up empty on this one...)
Thanks in advance for your help!

The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

IPhoto Albums and MobileMe Albums - Synchronization (Sync)

I am very interested in how the iPhoto and MobileMe operate together.
I like that if I publish an album to MobileMe, those photos are then kept in sync with that MobileMe album and vice versa. If a change is made to the photo in iPhoto, the same change takes place in MobileMe. If a change is made in MobileMe, that change is pushed to the copy in iPhoto. I like this!
But here is something I would like that I am having trouble accomplishing.
I want to create an iPhoto album (smart or otherwise) and publish it to MobileMe. I would then like any photos ADDED to that album to also be published the same MobileMe album. Can this be done?
Ideally, any photos also posted directly to the MobileMe album would be pushed back to the iPhoto album as well.

No. Instead of adding the photo to the album just drag it into the MMe gallery and it will update the online gallery.

"Tell a Friend" email from MobileMe album - no images or formatting

When I use "tell a friend" from a MobileMe album, it usually calls up "mail" with fancy body text with images of the key album photo with links and a nice layout.
Now, when I use it, it just comes up with plain text as the email message. I don't know why or how I can change it back to the way it used to be.
I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the cmd+option launch and checking the last three boxes. Anything else I have missed out? I'm not using any email encryption software as well. Just Apple "mail".
Thanks,
Howie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your Mail preferences set for RTF formatting or just plain text? That might be the reason. Set it to RTF if it's not that already. Other than that try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.

MobileMe Album in Project List

I used to have my MobileMe album show up in my Project List when I opened Aperture, but not anymore. I can't find what I did wrong to have it dissapear. Need help configuring it back.

This has just happened to me as well. MobileMe doesn't appear as a group header at all. It appears to have done it to me after I briefly switched my MobileMe synch settings in Aperture to manual due to network issues badly impacting Aperture performance. As a result, it has lost all of my MobileMe albums, even though I have switched the synch period back onto automatic.
Graham.
