Photo names in MobileMe Gallery?

Is there a way to make Aperture use the photo's caption field as the title for the photo in the mobileme gallery?
There's the checkbox to tell it to use the version name or not which doesn't seem very useful to me.
Should I just copy and paste from caption to version name?

My mistake
I had forgotten that it's just what Aperture does for some
unreasonable reason !
It puts 20 if there's space ? !

Is it possible....to save photos from the MobileMe Gallery?

I lost my hard-drive several months back & many photos. However, there are some photos in my MobileMe gallery that were not able to be saved from my old hard-drive... Is there an easy way to pull these photos from the MobileMe Gallery onto my 'new' hard-drive? I have already changed to iCloud (if that makes a difference). Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes. There's a new photo sharing site, ZangZing, that can import photos from MobileMe Galleries into albums. The site allows 2 GB space free like Dropbox.
Just enter the URL for the gallery and import. You'll get something like this for each gallery:
You can mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites/_galleries folder on your Desktop and drag each numbered subfolder onto your Desktop. All of you photos will be in those subfolders within other subfolders. Each photo will have 3 versions. If you setup the gallery so visitors could download the photos each photo subfolder will have the full sized image file in it. There will be 3 versions, medium, web and large. The large.jpg will the the file you will want to keep. However, you will have to rename each large.jpg file to match the actual file name.

'Empty' photo frames for MobileMe Gallery albums

I upgraded from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '09 last month. I have nine MobileMe Gallery albums. Eight of these albums were created and uploaded using iPhoto '08 and only one with iPhoto '09. I have just noticed a problem which, I believe, has only happened since my upgrade and it's a strange one.
While scrolling through the Photos in my iPhoto 09 Library I noticed that for those photos that appeared in an album uploaded to MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 08 I have the photo and immediately next to (after) it a white dotted outline of a blank/black space with the Title of the previous photo under it. If I select this 'blank' photo and drag it to the Trash it removes the photo from my MobileMe Gallery album!
This applies to every photo uploaded to all 8 MobileMe Gallery albums with iPhoto 08. The behaviour is not repeated in the images uploaded to the one album I have uploaded to the MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 09.
Before I realised the significance of these 'blank' photos I selected them as I was scrolling through my Library in Photo view and moved them to the iPhoto Trash! Then I discovered that doing so removed them from both the album on my MobileMe Gallery and the MobileMe Gallery album that I see in the left hand column of iPhoto.
Has anyone else encountered this behaviour - is it normal? Can I simply go to the Trash and drag these 'blank' images back, then sync and hope that they return to the MobileMe Gallery albums?
WIll I have to live with these 'blanks' in my Photos view forever?
Here are two screenshots to show what I'm talking about - the first one is how the deleted images appear in the Trash and the second is an example of how each image now appears in the iPhoto library Photo view.

Can't edit photos in my MobileMe gallery in iPhoto '11

Hi,
I have all my photos in my MobileMe gallery. Everything sync very well with iPhoto '11. But I'm surprised by the fact that I can't edit those photos. It keeps saying that the element I selected can't be modified in iPhoto '11.
Is this because I don't have a local copy of the pictures on my HD ? And if this is the reason, how can I do so I can edit those pictures ?
Thanks !

Then you won't have them in your iPhoto library. Only links to them.
Do you have the option to subscribe to the galleries and/or download the files into your library. Those option are in the gallery's menu bar:
Click to view full size
If the download option is available you can get copies of the photos and import them into your library so you can edit them.
For those photo you want to edit try dragging its thumbnail in iPhoto to the Desktop. Then import the resulting image file back into iPhoto. That should give you a full size copy of it to work with.
If you can't drag the thumbnail then try subscribing to the gallery, open the subscription window in iPhoto and try dragging the thumbnail there to the desktop. That worked for me.
UPDATE: If you subscribe to a gallery and then delete the subscription you will be given the chance to download and import those photos into your library as the subscription is deleted.
This way you can get a copy of each photo in each gallery into your library.

Remove photos from a MobileMe Gallery

Every time I delete or Cut a photo from one of my MobileMe Gallery albums, it comes back, and/or, it does not update the changes in my MobileMe Gallery. In one of my galleries in iPhoto I have 7 photos but in the MobileMe gallery I have 134 photos. Do I have to delete the whole gallery album and create a new one?

Could be a damaged library. Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Photo stuck in MobileMe Gallery

Yesterday I created a MobileMe gallery (iPhoto 08) that had 30 photos and 3 movies. When I viewed it in iPhoto, many of the photos were morphing themselves and were showing up 3 or 4 times (only in iPhoto, not in the published gallery). Also moving the photos around sometimes did and sometimes didn't affect how they showed up in the gallery. I decided to delete everything in the gallery and start over, however one photo seems to be "stuck". Even though it shows up online, it does not appear in my iPhoto (http://gallery.me.com/pmatsuda#100118 photo ...033.jpg).
I tried to delete it directly on my iDisk, but did not have "sufficient privileges to do so".
Any ideas besides deleting the gallery and starting over?
Thanks.

In iPhoto when you go to preferences ==> gallery what does it show? If the gallery shows as being published there stop lublishing it and see if that helps.
If it doe not go to the finder ==> iDisk ==> web ==> _gallery and delete the gallery folder (or the pictures in that gallery if it is just one picture you want gone) that is stuck there

Iweb Photo Album vs MobileMe Gallery or...

... should I look for flickr or something?
Hi guys new mac user in every sense...the wife got her Macbook on December and I couldn't resist and got my mine three days ago.
Guys...I'm creating a website with iweb and although right now does not have a lot of pics, I know it will...so please guys:
1. If I want the visitors to have a fast access (loading) to the albums...which is the best option? iweb Photo Album or the MobileMe Gallery widget?
I know that at the end all the pics will be loaded on/from the MobileMe server, but just wanted to check if one have proved being faster than the other.
2. The other thing I was concern about was of course space..that's why I though about putting all the pics on flickr, photobucket...and then embed an album on iWeb...can I do that?
thanks guys and please if this has already been discussed please post a link...I did the search and nothing came up.

hey guys...I found this http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10742043&#10742043 Aztian said that his photos load faster using iWeb Photo Albums...it would be nice to have more info...thanks!

File names in Mobileme Gallery

How do I get the file names of my images to show in MobileMe gallery ?
I now get the file name with the #20 wherever there is a space in my original file name.
I'm using file referenced on a HD.

Issue Updating Photo Names in Web Gallery

There is a sync issue with Web Galleries when the photo name is updated in iPhoto while another update is occurring simultaneously. The changes made in iPhoto are lost.
The 7.0.2 Update does not fix this issue.
It seems there should be the option to "update now" and make the web gallery look just like the iPhoto version.
Anyone else have this issue?

pschlampp:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The syncing works correctly for me. Try clearing out the iPhoto Cache folders that are in your User/Library/Caches folder and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist that's in the User/Library/Preferences folder. See if that will let you update titles as intended.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

No photo names in Web Gallery

I just uploaded a web gallery (password protected) and after going to the trouble of putting names on all the photos in iPhoto (prior to the upload) was disappointed to see none in my corresponding web gallery.
What gives?

Click on the Setting button in the toolbar for your gallery and make sure you have the option to include titles checked.
Hint: You can put the description of the photos in the description field in the Info pane at the bottom of the source window and then use this script to batch copy them to the Name field before publishing the gallery. Then when you want to revert back to the original file name just use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name.

Uploading Photos to MobileMe Gallery results in "Request to Server Failed"

Hello everyone!
I've run across a very frustrating problem.
I am wanting to upload some photos to a MobileMe gallery from within iPhoto '08 (Version 7.1.4; Mac OS X 10.4.11). When I start the upload, it runs for several minutes and the progress bar appears with the message "Uploading Thumbnails". After several minutes of this (usually the progress bar gets about 1/4 of the way through), I get an error message that says "Request to Server Failed". If I try to then restart the upload by clicking on the alert icon next to the gallery name in the sidebar, the gallery disappears.
I have tried deleting the iPhoto caches from ~/Library/Caches and the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file from ~/Library/Preferences. I have logged out of MobileMe from System Preferences and had iPhoto log me back in. Nothing seems to work. I keep getting this error.
I have published photos to .Mac Gallery in the past (but not since the transition to MobileMe. Those galleries are still there on the web and listed in the sidebar. I'm afraid of messing with them though for fear that they too will disappear.
I've done Google searches and searches here on Apple Discussions and found no definite solutions.
I could really use some help on this one. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

How many galleries do you have? If only a few try deleting them manually from the iDisk/Web/Sites/_gallery folder and republish from iPhoto.

Should I be able to see my MobileMe Gallery photos in iPhoto?

I posted this problem a couple of months ago but received no answer - I'm hoping that someone else may have experienced the same problem or someone can explain what it is that I'm doing wrong -
I upgraded from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '09 in June 2009. I have nine MobileMe Gallery albums. Eight of these albums were created and uploaded using iPhoto '08 and only one with iPhoto '09. I have just noticed a problem which, I believe, has only happened since my upgrade and it's a strange one.
While scrolling through the Photos in my iPhoto 09 Library I noticed that for those photos that appeared in an album uploaded to MobileMe Gallery using iPhoto 08 I have the photo and immediately next to (after) it a white dotted outline of a blank/black space with the Title of the previous photo under it. If I select this 'blank' photo and drag it to the Trash it removes the photo from my MobileMe Gallery album!

Then I discovered that doing so removed them from both the album on my MobileMe Gallery and the MobileMe Gallery album that I see in the left hand column of iPhoto.
WIll I have to live with these 'blanks' in my Photos view forever?
I would be grateful if anyone can suggest how I might be able to fix this problem.
Cheers

PS I have now created another 5 MobileMe albums using iPhoto '09. All these display correctly in my iPhoto 'Photos' view as well as on my MobileMe Gallery so I can confirm that the 'blank' problem only relates to MobileMe albums I created and uploaded using iPhoto '08.
Surely other people have experienced the same problem??

Many thanks for your prompt reply. I don't have a backup drive with me at the moment but as soon as I get back to my Time Capsule I'll backup and do as you suggest. Hopefully, that will solve the problem.

I'd like to send photos to a non-MobileMe gallery from the iPhone's "send to MobileMe" option in the "Forward" tab

Tried a search but it's mostly iWeb and I haven't seen this asked:
One of the nice things about MobileMe is/was the ability to send any photo to my MobileMe gallery. I could publish a photo to the web with two clicks, and then I could share the URL with others or post it with /IMG tags in bulletin board forums.
Now that iCloud is revoking this capability in June, I need to host my pics somewhere else on the web. Yahoo, Flicker, Picasso, etc.
I'd like to be able to specify that new destination and continue to use my "Send to MobileMe" button on the phone, so that it remains that easy to do... but the photos go to my new hosting location.
Does anyone know how to do this, or know of an App that would present itself as a tab in Photos to do the same thing?

Thanks- photosync looks like it will suffice.
Huge thumbs down to Apple for rolling back functionality that MobileMe had, instead of adding to it with iCloud.
They could have at least grandfathered us.

How to add uploaded photos (not from aperture) in Mobileme Gallery to a project

I shared some photos using a mobileme gallery where I allowed friends to upload their photos to the gallery. Now the gallery exists with both the photos from my aperture library (and project) and my friends photos (which appear in aperture with a little symbol).
I would like to have the photos that were uploaded by my friends to be added to a new project without moving or erasing them in the mobileme gallery. Is there a simple way to do this? I know if I select photos from a project and drag and drop them to another project aperture moves the photos but I don't know if this is how aperture handles mobileme galleries in the inspector.
Jeff

Just drag an image from the MobileMe Gallery to a project it will copy the image, not move it. Aperture will move images that are stored locally in the library but since these images uploaded by friends are only stored on the MobileMe servers, Aperture will make a copy when you drag them to a project.

MobileMe Gallery deleted photos also deleted from Event

I have just noticed what looks like new behavior in iPhoto '11 when deleting a photo from a MobileMe gallery.
Here is what I did to recreate the problem/behavior:
1) Created iPhoto Event with 2 images in it.
2) Shared the Event to a new MobileMe Gallery by: Share, MobileMe Gallery, Add
3) Waited for the Event to be shared to MobileMe Gallery.
4) Opened the Gallery in iPhoto under the Source list, Web, MobileMe Gallery
5) Deleted 1 of the 2 images in the MobileMe Gallery, right-clicked, and selected Trash.
--- the Image is now deleted from BOTH the MobileMe Gallery AND the iPhoto Event (see step 1) ---
I confirmed this by opening the iPhoto trash and finding the image there, and then opening the iPhoto Event and finding the image missing there.
I also just tried this with an Album...
1) Created a new Album.
2) Dragged an image from an Event into the Album.
3) Published the Album to MobileMe using Share/MobileMe Gallery/Add.
4) Opened the Gallery inside iPhoto Source list, and deleted the image.
5) Opened the Album - image deleted. Opened the Event - image ALSO deleted. Opened Trash - the image is in the Trash.
This seems like a bug, or at least behavior for which a warning should be given by the Trash dialogue box before deleting the image. Deleting an image from an Event after publishing the Album is especially surprising, and seems counter to the way Albums have always acted.
Message was edited by: Kenny and his Imac

Yes. It's not a bug. You're opting to delete the photo from the library with those key strokes, not just the gallery. If you send the photo to the trash it will be removed from the event and all other items in the library that is was assigned to.
To delete a photo from just the gallery (or album or book or slideshow) select it and use the Delete key. The photo will remain in all other locations in the library.
