Sharing photos via MobileMe Gallery - what alternative?

I have been sharing photos with my soon to be 80 years old mother via my MobileMe gallery, all I had to do was send her the link, while all she had to do was subscribe to my gallery in order to have the images download to iPhoto. This was easy and straightforward for her.
How should I handle this task after the discontinuation of MobileMe? PhotoStream doesn't seem to be designed for this task, and I don't want her to have to jump through too many hoops, since she still uses her computer on a beginner's level.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Dropbox?

Using a shared photo in Web Gallery

My wife and I share a computer and we each have a .Mac account. However, all of our pictures are in iPhoto under her login.
I would like to publish a Web Gallery using my .Mac account and photos shared from her iPhoto library.
However when I include a shared photo in the Web Gallery it imports it into my iPhoto Library, giving me two copies of the same photo, one in her iPhoto library and another in mine, thereby duplicating the photo which is not what I want.
Is there a way to use a shared Photo in Web Gallery and maintain the relationship to the original photo and not duplicate the picture?

Roger
No, because as far the the Mac is concerned, it's not yours to Share until it's in your Library.

Sharing photos via email through iPhoto

Hi, I've sent friends photos via email using the 'share' section of the iPhoto and I can't find a 'sent' forlder there and they don't appear in my normal email. How can I check what I've sent to whom when sharing photos this way.

Hi Ralph9430,
Thank you for your reply.I am using a MacBook Pro and sadly it doens't work the same as the iPad. However, in following your directions, I hadn't realised that in the sent box I could select specific email accounts I thought it was one generic folder for all, so, I've learned that from you!

IPhoto09 re-arranges photos in mobileme gallery.

I am working in the MobileMe gallery and iPhoto09 keeps re-arranging the photos. I attempt to sort by date/time and nothing happens. If I try to manually move the photos, the software re-adjusts them and then the captions are no longer associated with the pictures. In iPhoto08, I did not have this problem. Any ideas?

No. Once the MMe servers were taken off line over a year ago all files were no longer available to users.

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.
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.

How do I get "verification code" to allow sharing photos via email and photomail with PSE11

I have just install, yesterday, Photoshop Elements 11. Cannot get it to allow me to share photos via email or photomail. Message appears stating that a verification code is required, with a note that an email has been sent to our email address, which is listed on the line above...but no message ever comes. There is also a button to click that says "resend email" and using that does nothing. What do I do next?

I have same problem. I just purchased a new computer and re-installed PSE11, and this verification process appeared. I have received no email.

Entering Message when Sharing Photos via E-mail

Just loaded PS Elements v11. Have used PS Elements v7-9 previously. When sharing photos using e-mail (comcast.net) as attachments and photo mail, I was able to enter a message to recipient before sending the e-mail. In Elements 11, in area where text can be entered, I cannot get a cursor to type a message. The phrase, Here are photos....., is embedded there and can't even erase. Area is frozen to using a cursor. Sending the e-mail is no problem. Would appreciate help so I can start sharing photos. Thank you.

I think there is some kind of scripting bug in PSE11 when sharing photos by email but there is a work around.
Select your thumbnails and click Share >> Photomail
Then choose your contact and continue.
After choosing stationery, click next step.
In the next dialog (customize & layout) click on the text dropdown and change from Arial to Times New Roman (may not be essential but it works for me).
Then click next.
When the email appears you should now be able to select (click until a bounding box appears around the text like that of a picture) and delete all the Adobe automatic text, leaving only the photo(s). Delete the web link and text below the photo using the backspace key. You should now be able to add your own text.
Then hit send.
I can’t guarantee it will work on your system but it works on windows Vista and it’s worth trying.

Sharing photos via Outlook for Mac 2011

I am using iPhoto 11 v 9.1.1 (527) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 v 14.0.2 (101115). I have Microsoft Entourage selected for "Email photos using" in the General Preferences dialog box (Outlook is not available as a choice).
When I attempt to share photos via Outlook email via:
Share> Email >Compose Message
I get the following error message:
Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can't make {subject:"8 great iPhotos"} into type property of draft window.
Is there some way to make this work so that I can share photos via e-mail using Outlook?
I know I can use the media browser, but that doesn't allow you to add captions, or to control the size of the image.
Thanks, Dave

Yes - as noted
If you search the forums some people report to have found a solution Request Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback and Microsoft address this issue permanently
At this time Outlook is not supported but some people have reported to find a hack to solve this - have you searched for the post?

Uploading photos to MobileMe Gallery - Help please

I have MobileMe and have created a public folder for uploading photos to. On my iPhone, I can click on a photo and see the option to send the photo to MobileMe. When I go to my MobileMe on the web, the photo is there BUT it is only 800x600 instead of full resolution. I'm assuming that since it e-mails the photo to MobileMe from my iphone, it must reduce the resolution, eh?
Is there a way to prevent it from reducing the resolution? I just want to be able to upload my iphone photos to MobileMe while on the go. I understand that the MobileFiles 2.0/Pro application gives you the ability to access your iDisk storage, including uploading from the iphone to idisk. However, I cannot seem to confirm whether it will allow me to upload photos that I've taken with the iphone's camera or if the uploads have to be from within the MobileFiles app? Also, will this also result in a reduction of resolution?
Thanks! Any other suggestions/solutions on how to easily upload photos I have taken with the iPhone's camera to my MobileMe account would be appreciated.

IPhoto '11 Sharing Photos with MobileMe Login Error

Hello -
I am using iPhoto '11 on my iMac and when I try to share a photo with my MobileMe account I am prompted for a username and password (I am sure I am using the correct UN / PW) it tells me that it cannot verify me.
BTW - I am not sure if this is related, but I keep getting messages from Safari telling me various xxx.me.com server certificates are invalid and suggesting that someone my be spufing me.

Greetings,
I haven't heard of that issue directly myself, however your mention of the shared wireless network via one Mac's Airport card will not give the best performance compared to an actual wireless router: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB321LL/A
As a quick and simple test:
Turn off the Airport card on both computers (Airport > Turn Airport off)
Shut both computers down (Apple > Shutdown)
Plug the ethernet cable going between your modem and your 1st Mac so that it goes directly from one Mac to the other
Once the ethernet cable is plugged in, turn both computers back on
Launch iPhoto on both systems and test
If it works then I'd say get yourself an actual wireless router as sharing an entire photo library over your network is a relatively stressful activity and it would benefit from a router.
If it doesn't work reply back
Hope that helps.

Sharing photos via email-can I use Address Book Groups?

We are traveling and have a group ("Family") in my address book.
In iPhoto I select several pictures and then in the "To" line I want to invoke this group rather than typing 15-20 names.
Is this possible?

thanks. It seems that this is a wish list item for the next release. Since the address book is already linking naturally with iPhoto it seems that a tweak to recognize groups as well.
What I like about using iPhoto is the templates. Another suggestion was to set up one email, send to myself then forward that along using my group.
I'm on vacation now so I'll be experimenting. However it stills seems more elegant to get this to work as I had hoped.
Thanks

Photoalbum indexpage with square photos like the old mobileme gallery?

I would like to get a photo gallery made in iWeb with an indexpage just like the old "MobileMe Gallery" with the square picture container´s - I made a lot of special frontpictures - one for each album only to fit the square form. And I liked it! At first it was annoying when it always seemed to cut half the heads of or the wheels from my bikepict´s but then I adjusted as described and made all those beautiful firstpict´s!
Now all different "theme´s" index pages are equipped with rectangular picture container´s. And options to change that are not active.
Can anyone help me to...
...change the rectangular picture on the index page to a square one?
...find a skin or another web gallery program with square photo containers?
It would really make my day if I could get all my albums up and out again!
Tina

For starters, here's a MobileMe Gallery Widget alternative.
In the past it linked to the MMe Gallery, now it links to a photoalbum on my NAS :

See if you can use it for your future gallery.

MobileMe gallery shows thumbnails but no photos

I uploaded/Backedup some photos to MobileMe Gallery a while back, and now that I've moved my account to icloud I want to grab those photos to store on my mac. However when I go to view in thumbnail I can see them but then I click to open and MobileMe informs me that they are no photos is this gallery?
Any thoughts people?
Oh and my HD failed so originals are unfortunately gone for good.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards

I use an external hard drive to sync photos
I have no idea what that statement means. Please explain
If your iPhoto library resides on an external drive what format is it?
