"re-syncing" iphoto with mobileme gallery

Some friends of ours recently uploaded pictures to our mobile me gallery. How do I bring those new photos into an already established iphoto event?

When I select an event and publish it to MobileMe, the MobileMe gallery does not seem to stay linked to my original event. If I add photos to the event they do not sync up to the gallery, and if a user contributes photos it does not go back to my event
We may have a terminology problems here - events do not connect in any way to MobileMe and you can not directly add photos to events - importing photos into iPhoto will create a new event - it is not possible to import photos into an existing event
When you create a MobileMe gallery it appears as a web gallery in the source pane to the left and anything you add to that gallery in iPhoto will be synced to MobileMe based on how you have your syncing preferences set
I do not have any uploaded photos so have not used that feature but I believe that you just look in the web gallery in the source pane of iPhoto and drag the photos you want to the iPhoto library window or select them and create a new event form selection

Sync iPhoto album & mobileme gallery

Hello! I have a few albums in iPhoto that I want to publish to my mobileme gallery. However, I would like for the albums on mobile me to be automatically updated when I add new photos to my iPhoto albums. So I'm wondering what's the best thing to do: Do I keep my original albums and update the mobile me gallery every time I add photos to the albums? Or do I delete the original albums and use only the published albums? With the first option, I need to update manually(?), with the second option, I lose the album folder structure I currently have... Any thoughts?

Hello Oyvind,
You have outlined your options very well.
1.) Keep the local Albums and the folder structure you created and drag changes from these albums to the MobileMe Gallery Album when you add new pictures.
2.) Get rid of the local Albums and their folder structure and use just the MobileMe Gallery Albums
Those are the only choices I can think of as well. I suppose the question would be, do you make so many changes to your Albums that dragging the changes to the MobileMe Gallery would be so much work?
If you do decide to use only the MobileMe Gallery and get rid of the local Albums, I would highly suggest you keep a regular backup of your computer / iPhoto. And frankly if you care about your information having a backup is essential anyways.
Hope that helps

Syncing events with MobileMe Gallery

When I select an event and publish it to MobileMe, the MobileMe gallery does not seem to stay linked to my original event. If I add photos to the event they do not sync up to the gallery, and if a user contributes photos it does not go back to my event. It appears that this is intentional, so then what do I do about it? I am not sure which photos are added and/or how to import them back into my original event and I am unsure what to add from my original event into the gallery. If I try to keep the two in sync manually it will be very tedious and error prone. Any ideas?

Sync project, album or smart album with MobileMe gallery?

Is there any way to sync a project, album or smart album with MobileMe gallery? It would be nice to have changes in one, reflect changes in the other. Thanks

make sure your inspector is visible on the left hand side press i to toggle on and off. You will see folders and projects that you have made in there. You can simply right click on a folder or project and select New from selection > MobileMe Album this will send all pictures in that album up to your mobileme Cloud for viewing. You can also select just some of the pictures in your main View screen again right click on them and the same as above. If you put more pictures into that folder etc on the mac you will see again in the inspector a icon and the text MobileMe gallery, to the right hand side of the text you will see a icon that looks like a wireless symbol just click on it to re-sync. You can also re-sync by going to prefs in aperture clicking on Mobileme and then click on the tab Check for new photos this works both ways.

IPhoto 11 & MobileMe Gallery

iPhoto 11 + MobileMe Gallery.
All the iPhoto Albums are shared (synced) with Me Gallery.
I'd like to know what is the best way to have all the changes synced.
For example, when I make changes in an album (add or delete photos) I' d like to have the changes also appear on Me gallery.

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.

Since uninstalling / reinstalling iTunes I am not able to sync iPhotos with my Apple TV with the following warning message stating that this is due to a 'problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to'. Please help!

IPhoto not syncing with MobileMe Gallery

I took a lot of pictures this past weekend and for the past three days have been trying to get them on my MobileMe Gallery. Every time I try to publish, it starts going - looks like normal - and then an error pops up saying something about not being able to access or publish to the server or something. It is dirivng me crazy! In some cases, half an event will publish and in some cases, no pictures in an event will publish at all. I am using the latest version of leopard, and the latest version of iPhoto. I have a full .mac / MobileMe account and it has plenty of available space. Can anyone help me? I have pictures of my friends' baby that she wants to see and I can't show her..

This fix was for another issue, emails, but has help iWeb users in getting published to MMe. A long shot but might work for you:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. *Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord.* For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
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. 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: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto not syncing right with MobileMe

I just created a couple of new photo albums in iPhoto '09 that I want to share with my friends via my MobileMe gallery. I've done this many times without a hitch, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing. But this time I have a problem, that might be related to the upgrade from '08 to '09. After the albums finished uploading, I checked to make sure everything looked okay in the Gallery and all was well. But when I went back into iPhoto and clicked on one of new albums in the MOBILEME GALLERY portion of the source bar, iPhoto shows me in the Information panel that the album has no items. I no longer see my photos in the main panel on the right and there's no wireless icon next to the album name like all the other albums have (the ones successfully appearing in my gallery). But when I look at my MobileMe Gallery, all my photos are there as expected.
But now I can't update the titles on the photos within iPhoto. It's as if the connection between the Album and the MobileMe Gallery has been lost for just these two new libraries.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
(BTW, I'm also having sync issues with my iPhone again too - all my contacts appear twice in my iPhone...)

HI...
Just so you are not aware ...
What's happening to MobileMe?
The core services provided by MobileMe have been completely rewritten and are now part of iCloud. MobileMe will no longer be available after June 30, 2012. To continue to have mail, contacts, and calendars kept up to date automatically and free of charge, and to enjoy the new services that iCloud provides, MobileMe members must move their accounts to iCloud before June 30, 2012. Apple allowss for 5GB of free storage space.
Since you have v10.7.4, you can setup iCloud anytime to sync your Mac and iOS based devices.

Once you setup your iCloud account, you can access the settings from System Preferences > iCloud

IPhoto 09 MobileMe Gallery Sync

Friends,
I apologize if this has already been asked. I have searched and searched and searched and just cannot find an answer.
Here's what I am trying to figure out. I have a decent sized photo library being managed by iPhoto 09. I have diligently organized everything into events and take advantage of every iPhoto feature I can. One need I have is to allow family members the ability to upload new photos to my library.
I have tried publishing my events to the MobileMe Gallery and allowing uploads but there are a few problems with this scenario. First, I have hundreds of events and want to publish all of them. So far as I can tell, I must publish each of them one by one. Second, while the upload works, the new photos go to the "MobileMe Gallery" section in iPhoto. I want them synced all the way back to the source event. I know I can copy them over, but again, I have hundreds of events. It would be an impossible and completely manual process with which to manage.
I've tried this with Flickr too but the iPhoto integration works much the same as the MobileMe gallery. I don't care what technologies are in play. I just really want to be able to allow photos to be uploaded to me somehow and have them automagically find their way back into the proper event in iPhoto.
I can't imagine this is a unique requirement. How do others allow family and friends to contribute photos while still being able to organize everything in iPhoto in an effective way?

Simply, this is not a feature at this time.

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.

IPhoto and MobileMe gallery

Since switching from MobileMe to iCloud I am unable to add a new album to my MobileMe gallery. If I do add a new album it is removed almost immediately.
I am also unable to 'share' it from MobileMe gallery before it is removed automatically almost immediately it is put on.
Could anybody explain why and how to fix this problem.

I would like to add to this thread. Same problems with updating to the iPhoto 11 and the "cloud". The photo's taken on my iPhone are displaying in my "Photo Stream", I add the photo's I want from the Photo stream to my iPhoto library stored locally, and then publish the album to mobile me.
Problem is, as soon as the seldected photo's are published to mobile me I go to the "web" pane on iPhoto in order to send an email to my friends that a new album is posted. As soon as I select "web" on the right hand selection pane in iPhoto 11, I receive the following:
iPhoto displays "The published album has been removed from Mobile me".
The album is saved from photo stream to my iPhoto album, but the selected photo's will not publish to mobile me. This is a problem with apples new Lion OS and iPhoto 11. One more example of how Apple has rolled out new products that are not ready. I moved from PC to Mac 10 years ago because of this same problem with PC software, now Apple has lost its way and is putting new software on the market that just doesn't work and I suspect the OS will become irrelevant agian if the company doesn't focus on what drew customers to their platform. So disappointed with Apple again...its becoming very common.

IPhoto '09 MobileMe gallery "tell a friend" email not displaying password

It used to be when I clicked on the iPhoto MobileMe Gallery "Tell a Friend" button an email would open and have the username and password.
Now, it shows the username, but the password isn't displaying. Instead it reads PASSWORD.
What happened to make it do this?
How is a friend supposed to know the password if it doesn't display.

Could be a damaged database file in the library. Backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
Click to view full size
Launch iPhoto and try again.

Posting movies from iPhoto to MobileMe Gallery

I have a few 5-8 minute videos taken from a pocket Canon camera that I would like to export to my MobileMe Gallery. How do I downsize the video in iPhoto before I publish the album to the gallery? Right now a subscriber to the gallery has to painfully wait for these video's to load up/stream. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Cliff

Cliff:
In QT Pro try the File->Export for Web option and then select Desktop. That will produce a folder with several files in it. The one you want to use is the one with the .m4v extension. Check the resulting size of that file and see if it's been reduced enough to make it useable.
I just tried it on a small test movie of 704 KB and it was reduced to 132KB.

Won't sync calender with mobileme "inconsistent data error message"

I have tried about everything that I can think of but can't seem to solve this problem.
I have a new Macbook Pro and have been using mobileme and ical for some time now. I can't get my Macbook Pro to sync with mobileme ical. It does sync with the address book, but when it gets to the ical portion it tries and then reports "can't sync due to inconsistent data on this computer. Correct data and resync calender".
I have no idea what the "inconsistent data" is. My computer gets its time from apple.com and the time/date is correct. What is the inconsistent data. My calender and schedule is a critical issue. Please help.

Errors in syncing can happen for all sorts of reasons - loss of network connectivity, for instance - and it might be necessary to reset the synced data from a reliable source. It's not talking about deleting anything - unless you have data on your new computer that you need to retain.
The document says that if you have this problem on your new machine, you probably need to overwrite that local data with data from MobileMe.
Personally, I've never lost any data with dotmac or MobileMe, so my experience is it can be relied on. I do, however, keep backups of all my data as well.
