Share "MobileMe" and Mobile Me Icon do nothing to publish

Not sure if this is a Mobile Me error or Iphoto, but this was not always the problem.
When in iPHOTO, I select an album, event, photo, then go to Share->MobileME, it does nothing. I try to select an album, photo, event and click the MobileMe Icon within iPhoto on the right, it does nothing.
I watched the very basic video tutorial, added a new album, clicked the MobileMe Icon, and it has nothing in here to publish the name, etc.
Something is really gone bad with publishing to my MobileMe from iPhoto. On Leopard and latest iPHOTO.

Close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, open iPhoto and try again.
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's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

    If you have a external USB enclosure - trying installing your hard drive in that enclosure and connect it to your usb port - restart your macbook while holding down the options key.  If you Macbook boots to your desktop then you have a faulty cable.  If you get the same error, then your hard drive just died on you.
    good luck.

  • Seeking some straight answers on "share everything" and mobile hotspots

    Hello all;
    I get a sense from reading other posts that the "share everything" plan is -- to say the least -- not going over too well among most Verizon customers.  However I'm one case for which I think it might actually be beneficial.  Here's the facts.  My wife has an iphone -- 2GB data per month.  I have a regular phone -- basic 39.99 per month for calls with no extras, not even texting.  Right now both phones are set up as individual lines under my account number; nothing is shared.  I went through the simple calculator Verizon had on the site, and the monthly cost came out to about what we're paying now --$140 plus "other fees" (whatever than means).
    So it seems to me that it might be a good move, just it case I ever had a need for accessing data on my "dumb" phone -- which right now is pay as you go.  Also, since my wife uses wifi most of the time, it would appear that the 2GB per month would be more than adequate for both of us.  Am I missing something here?  Some fee or hidden costs that I'm overlooking?
    Second quesiton:  Verizon indicates that mobile hotspot is "free" with the share everything plan.  Does this mean that we could use my wife's iPhone as a hotspot in order to use our wifi-only iPad when we are in location that does not have wifi service?  Sorry if that's an obvious question, but I don't really find a clear explaination of this on Verizon's site.  Also, I assume hotspot usage counts against the monthly data allowance?  Or is that a whole separate charge we would get hit with?
    Thanks in advance for any and all enlightenment on these issues!

    Thanks in advance for any and all enlightenment on these issues!
    basically, you are looking at $140 (as jimfitzgerald stated) plus about $20 in taxes and fees for unlimited talk and text on both phones and 2 gigs of data that can be used via hotspot from the iphone. it's that simple.

  • I installed an update of firefox this morning and now it won't open. I have tried to remove it and re-install it and although the icon remains, nothing happens when I click on it.

    I was prompted to install an update this morning which I did. After that, Firefox will not open at all. I click the icon and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling it and then re-installing it with no results.

    Hello Floyd.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
    In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Share to media browser option and mobile me

    I am trying to share a movie I made. I chose the "Share to media browser" option because it seemed like it would give me the most options for sharing my movie (since it looked like choosing to share the movie in large format would allow me to share it via Apple TV, via my computer and via MobileMe).
    I don't understand what this share option is for. I finally found the raw file and manually copied it into my iTunes so I can watch it on my Apple TV. I have no idea how this method allows me to share it to Mobile Me. I've since tried selecting the "Publish to Mobile Me gallery" option, but now the option to share in the large size is greyed out, presumably because I've already shared it as a large file.
    So basically I have no idea what the purpose is of the "Share to media browser". All I want to do is be able to watch the movie on my Apple TV and to be able to send it to my sister so she can download it and have it for as long as she wants (or she can just watch it once online if she's not interested in keeping it). So first off, how can I share it to Mobile Me as a large video now that I've already chosen the "Share to media browser" option. Second, in hindsight what should I have done instead? I wanted to avoid multiple exports since it took a really long time to export this.
    Assuming I can get this video to my sis and keep my version I've got in iTunes now, I don't need to do anything with it in iMovie ever again. Can I just delete the iMovie project in addition to the raw footage?

    Hmmm...
    The Large is enabled if I Share to iTunes, but if I try Media Browser, Large is grayed out. This is with many projects I choose (including a slideshow I just made), but some DO offer Large with Media Browser. Do you know the secret formula here?
    I tried direct to iDVD (captured at 960x540) but the result was lousy. So I thought I'd give Media Browser a try based on other posts...

  • I am having a problem sending photos by way of the share facility in iPhoto.  I have looked in accounts and i cloud is not listed as an option.  I removed MobileMe and reloaded it and that enabled me to send the photos but then the email didn't arrive

    When I first tried to email photos from the share facility of iPhoto 9.2.3 I received a message something along the lines of server didn't recognise your id and password.  Read other peoples posts that suggested removing and reloading icloud in the iPhone account section.  No icloud in my accounts  just email and mobile me so I removed and reloaded mobile me.  After that I sent a test email to myself.  It arrived eventually but disappeared the instant I tried to open it.  Shut down my Macbook completely and then switched it on again with exactly the same results.  I am using OS X 10.7.4.  Can anyone tell me how to get icloud as an option for my iPhoto emails?  I use icloud for my normal emails.

    I've resolved my problem now.  It wasn't iphoto: preferences:@ that I needed but iphoto:preferences:general where there is the option to choose email for sending photos.  Can't believe I missed that before.

    My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared by my system and reverted to mobile me which of course is no longer available. Any ideas on what to do?

    You'll actually need to order a snow leopard DVD first.  Then you can download mountain lion via the app store.  Confirm you meet the requirements:  http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    If you dont, you might be able to get lion instead.  That's an order over the phone, to get a redemption code.
    And make sure you're actually contacting apple:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll also want to confirm your 3rd party apps are compatible before an OS upgrade.  Of course, you'll also want to backup your data.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
    *[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If that works post back for further advice.
    Next step, if safe mode did not work.
    <u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
    See
    * this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    <u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    * this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
    **[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
    ** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
    ** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
    ** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

  • When I power up my mac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds of powering up the screen goes dark. Yet I still can the mouse arrow but nothing else.

    When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?

    Try this from another user:
    1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
    2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
    3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
    4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
    5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
