Problem linking to MobileMe album created in Aperture

I use multiple computers and I'm trying to sort out synchronising photo albums between them.
On my main iMac I use Aperture and have created and published a number of photo albums to the gallery. I can view the albums from any machine via the Safari web browser and can download individual photographs.
On my Macbook or any of the other machines, when I try to subscribe to an album using the "subscribe in iPhoto" option, iPhoto starts up, tries to link and comes back with a message 'There are no photos in the subscription “MobileMe Atom Feed.”'
I can set up a subscription in iPhoto by accessing MobileMe and copying the URL, but this doesn't allow me to add photographs to the album from within iPhoto.
Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong or how to resolve this situation. Incidentally, I'm using iPhoto '09 on both of the machines I am trying to get to set up a subscription to an album on.
Thanks, Brian

Glenn: Thanks for the reply. I've gone back through and examined things again and here is what is happening, although I can't explain why it's happening.
You are correct about the differences in the URL formats for Mobile Me. However, it is not possible while on the http://www.me.com/gallery to send an invite to a friend to subscribe to your gallery. That ability is not there. You must click on the other link in the upper right corner that takes you to the actual gallery with the URL format http://gallery.me.com. Once you are at that location, then and only then is the button available called "Tell A Friend".
True. I only mention the other link because there is, within iPhoto itself, a "Subscribe to Photo Feed..." option under the File menu. here you manually type or paste the URL pointing to the gallery you wish to subscribe to. If you pasted the incorrect gallery link, you will get the same failure you reported earlier.
I wonder if using that option on your end would succeed or not, Try it and let us know.
So, while on the http://gallery.me.com website gallery, I can click on the "Tell A Friend" button and send an invitation to someone to view the gallery. The e-mail that it creates contains the correct link format. I then send this e-mail to myself (using a different e-mail address) and upon receiving the mail click on the link provided and it takes me to the correct URL web page gallery where I can view the photos and now there's an option at the top called "Subscribe". When I click on this button it asks if I want to subscribe via an RSS reader or to iPhoto. I select iPhoto and iPhoto then opens automatically and then asks me if I wish to subscribe to the gallery. I click "yes" and an error message pops up that says there are no photos published (even though I'm looking right at them). All of the links are correct in that they are pointing to the http://gallery.me.com/username/galleryname address. But it still does not work.
The only way I can get it to work is to go into Aperture - click on the mobile me gallery that I have published and then click on the button at the bottom of the page that says "Tell A Friend". Once again it generates an e-mail with an invitation to view the gallery. I send that e-mail to my other address and when I receive it I click on the link, it takes me to the correct URL web gallery where I can see the photos just as before. When I click on the "subscribe" button at the top, iPhoto launches - asks me if I wish to subscribe - I click "yes" - and the photos begin downloading into iPhoto with no problem.
So - to sum up. If I send an invite to a friend to view and subscribe to an album from the actuall gallery web page it does not work. If I send the invite from Aperture (which is where the gallery was published from) then the subscription process works. In both instances the URLs that are being referenced are the correct http://gallery.me.com web site.
Nothing has changed at my end and I'm pretty sure there is a bug here on the Mobile Me website that is generating this problem. I've seen this same problem now on my wife's computer and on my parent's computers - so it's not just an isolated issue on my computer.
Nice summary of the issue. I have to admit, all methods of subscribing to a Photo Feed are working on my end. If you don't mind, you can send me an invite to one of these troublesome galleries, and I'll see if I can subscribe to it on my end (Check my profile in the upper right of this page for mt email address).
I guess I should report it to Apple. The only problem with that is you never hear back from them. Thanks for the suggestions anyway and let me know if you have any other ideas.
True. However, it is possible to signup for a free Apple Developer Account here:
http://developer.apple.com/products/mac/program/
You don;t actually need to be a develper, but you will be able to submit Bug Reports that get assigned a case number and the engineers respond and even may ask for further information. I've done it myself.

  • HT5132 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?

    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?

  • Tagging Facebook albums created in Aperture not working

    I'm trying to publish a Facebook album from within Aperture (3.6), and am having trouble getting the tags to stick in Facebook. When I go visit the album on Facebook, the tags are there, but not actually linked to the people. For example My friend John Doe, would be tagged in the photo in grey writing, but it is not a clickable link, and when I go to John's Facebook page, he hasn't been tagged in it.
    I suspect the issue is related to this forum post: Facebook contacts not syncing
    When I go to John Doe's Faces entry, it shows the correct contacts entry.
    When I go to the contacts entry, it has his Facebook profile under the "Facebook" field, but there is no small F under his contact picture, and when I tell os X to update all profile pictures his does not get updated. Also, it seems that my Facebook syncing is not syncing all my Facebook friends, only a select few, who I suspect meet the criteria discussed in the above thread. So, what I suspect is happening, is that Aperture thinks that John's faces entry is connected to a Facebook account (possibly from some legacy link with contacts) but Facebook's new policy is making it so that John's contact is not being synced from Facebook to iCloud.
    I can't figure out a way to manually link his contact card to his Facebook account. Entering his Facebook homepage web address does nothing as far as I can tell.
    Any help would be appreciated. It ***** spending all the time tagging faces in aperture and then having to re-do it in Facebook.
    PS: Running Yosemite, all programs up to date as of nov 22, 2014
    Edited for spelling

    It shows for me within a minute.  I don't have Facebook enabled.  I would:
    - reboot and see if that forces the tieing of any loose ends, and thus allows this feature to work
    - maybe try it on a new Library, or a Library used in another User Account on your machine
    - see if someone who does use Facebook tries the feature and reports on whether it works
    I'm confident Library size/number of Images is not part of the issue, unless you have several thousand named Faces.
    Just to make sure we are "on the same page":  you go to Contacts, select a contact, double-click the picture assigned to that contact, and never see "Faces" in this dialog:

  • MobileMe Galleries created in Aperture are syncing with iPhoto

    I used to use iPhoto, but switched to Aperture 3.  Now when I create a MobileMe Gallery, the photos publish to the site but don't show up in the Aperture library under MobileMe.  When I log in to the Mobileme site, I check the settings for the gallery and it says it is syncing with iPhoto.  I can change it to Aperture manually, and then it will show up properly when I go back to Aperture, but I can't figure out why it's defaulting to iPhoto.  I went  into the iPhoto preferences and removed all accounts, and there also are not any photos in iPhoto at all. Any help is appreciated.
    Nate

    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?

  • Mobileme album not created

    Hello,
    i created a mobileme album in aperture but it is not published in the mobileme gallery.
    tried sev. times, but aperture does not even show a URL for the album in mobileme menue.
    Last time i created a mobileme album was wih aperture 2 now using 3.0.3.
    I remember that i had a similar problem before, the solution was to start the sync process to mobileme manually. Searched everything but didn't find a button/menue item.
    Is there still a possibility to synchronize aperture and mobileme manually ?

    I got my mobileme album at last.
    i tried several times Aperture -> Preferences -> Web -> CheckNow. After creation of the mobileme album in aperture the effect was always that the album was deleted.
    I created a new mobileme album and just waited for some days. The album did not appear in my mobileme gallery. I tried again the CheckNow button expecting the album to be deleted. But this time aperture immediately started synchronizing with mobileme.
    Didn't do any further experiments yet, would still like to know if there is a way to start synchronization manually.
    regards Ralf

  • How do I get rid of empty MobileMe albums that Aperture 3.4.5 won't let me delete?

    I'm running Aperture 3.4.5 in OS X 10.8.4.  I dumped my MobileMe Galleries when I switched to iCloud last year.  But I just noticed that Aperture still shows icons for MobileMe albums in my Projects list, even though they are empty and aren't linked to any web account (they don't appear in the "Preferences: Web: Accounts" list). When I select one of them and choose "File: Delete MobileMe album," the album's web broadcast icon changes to a warning sign.  But there's no explanation of what the warning means. AND the album remains in the Projects list.  How can I get rid of these ghosts?

    Can you attach a screenshot?

  • 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 to transfer photo albums created on the iPad to Aperture or iPhoto?

    Hi!
    I have created a photo album on iOs 5 with selected pictures of the Photostream features, now I'd like to sync back this album to Aperture 3.2.2 or iPhoto on the Mac, so I can share them with Facebook or MobileMe.
    Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks

    Thanks Fred, but the only photos that appear in Apertureare the ons of the iPad photo roll, not the Photo Albums created from the Photostream.
    Hence, once pictures are in an album which was created directly on the iPad, I do not see any option to sync it back to Aperture or iPhoto. As the pictures are from Photostream, I do not see options in the photo album to save them back to the photo roll.
    I created the album on the go, because, I was travelling without my computer and thought it would be great to make on the iPad the picture selections of the photos that I had put on my computer but did not have time to classify. I did the selection of photos, put them all in an album. There is no way to share back these 300 pics to Facebook or Mobileme or Flickr directly from the iPad, so I want to bring them back to my MAcbookPro to do it, but i can't find a way to transfer the album to the computer, and now, I have to do the selection again... Seems like Time wasted...

  • MobileMe albums not visible in Aperture after upgrade from iPhoto

    I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture and all went well, except that my mobileme albums aren't appearing. I published a test album which worked, but my existing ones don't appear.
    I've read on another thread that a dodgy character in an album name caused a similar problem but I can't see anything that looks odd in my mobileme album names.
    Any ideas?

    I had the exact problem and found the solution here.

  • Mobileme Album List disappearing from Aperture Library

    My MobileMe Album list disappeared from my Aperture Library a few days ago.
    Aperture activity window shows "MobileMe - Retrieving Album List" every time I start up Aperture, and quits without error messages, but no album list appears.
    Anyone know how I can get my MobileMe album list back?
    Thank you.

    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 :

  • Link several Albums into 1 MobileMe album

    I have several albums that I have merged to create one MobileMe album.
    Is there any way that when I add/remove a photo from any of these albums it automatically updates the MobileMe album too?
    Many thanks,
    Leonardo

    No - iPhoto syncs the MobileMe album to MobileMe - not anything else
    Just add the photo to the MobileMe alum in the source pane on the left - that is the one that syncs

  • 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?

  • Problem with photo book created in Aperture 3

    Hi everyone,
    I am in a bit of a bind and would greatly appreciate any help ASAP!
    I ordered a hard-cover photo book that was created in Aperture 3.  When previewing the order, we noticed that the photo for the cover of the book was missing (though it appeared on the dust jacket).  Tried various things to fix this but then read something in the forums that the photo would not be printed on hard-cover books, only on the dust jacket.  So we went ahead and placed our order...
    Today (3 business days after the order was made) we received an email from Apple:
    "Dear Apple customer,
    When your order W313537357 was submitted to Apple, an error caused an image file for your print product to contain an empty frame on the cover. As a result, Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged.
    If you would like to resubmit your order, we recommend these steps:
    1. Use Software Update to install the latest version of Aperture or iPhoto and Mac OS X. For more details on using Software Update, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338
    2. Close all open applications
    3. Open iPhoto or Aperture and preview your order. For instructions on how to preview your order, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
    4. If you are satisfied with the Preview, return to iPhoto and click “Buy.” For Aperture users, return and click “Continue”
    We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience."
    We have tried all of this, and the preview remains the same (no photo on the cover).  Also, when clicking the "Buy Book" button we get an error message that says "Empty text field detected in book.  The book you are about to order contains an empty text field.  How do you wish to proceed?"  This gives the option to either cancel or continue, and since I have not been able to find it I always just hit continue.
    I have tried contacting apple support but I guess their technical support for Aperture is only available during regular business hours.
    Help?!  We need this book printed and sent to us by the end of next week.  We would pay extra for rush/expedited shipping, but this option doesn't seem to be available (at least in Canada).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The unified library does not work for books and other products. Aperture and iPhoto cannot open each others books, because the editing options are different.
    See:  Using the Unified Photo Library   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
    Print projects
    Books, calendars, and cards created in iPhoto are visible in the Source list in Aperture, but you cannot edit them. Books, web pages, and web journals created in Aperture are not visible in iPhoto.
    Recreate the book in iPhoto, or send your  friends a PDF of the book. To create a pfd see:  iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

  • MobileMe Gallery - not respecting Aperture security setup

    I have around 5 albums on my MobileMe gallery which are synchronised with Aperture (in fact I create them in Aperture).
    Of these albums, 2 are password-protected and 3 are public. I haven't created an album in a while (probably since Aperture 2!) and I have been trying to create a public (i.e. no password) album to no avail.
    Basically, although in Aperture, the settings for the album are listed as "public" access, whenever I try to access the album on the web through MobileMe Gallery, I am asked for a password. I have tried re-syncing, tried creating multiple new albums - whatever I do I am always asked for a password and the thumbnails of these newly created albums have the padlock icon denoting that they are password protected.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
    thanks in advance
    Raf

    Hi there
    I tested with an empty library and discovered that it was definitely an issue linked to 1 particular library (rather than the app as a whole).
    Thanks for linking to the Troubleshooting page for Aperture - although I had previously trashed preferences and selected "Repair Database" this did not solve the problem so I tried the "Rebuild" option which always scares me but it did work this time (I made sure I had a Vault backup just in case)!
    Thanks and hopefully this thread may benefit other Aperture users in future!
