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?

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

"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?

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 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.

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 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.

Syncing iPhone with MobileMe and iCal

I know that when I'm set up right the changes I make on one device (iPhone, iCal, MobileMe) sync to all other devices. Here is my question. iPhone calendar *****; so, at work I want to be able to create calendar events on my personal Mac and sync through iTunes (Mac will not be connected to internet and I can't access MobileMe from work computer). I need to be able to create recurring events that are custom (beyond the bare-basic the iPone calendar offers).
Can I use the option to sync with iCal through iTunes while Mac is not connected to the internet and still use MobileMe? I have tried this but keep getting duplicate calendar and contacts entries.
Do I have to use one or the other?

Doing both does nothing but duplicate the calendars and calendar events on your iPhone. When doing both, each is synced and stored separately and differently on the iPhone. The calendars and calendar events synced direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process are stored separately and not synced over the air with your iPhone and vice-versa.

Problem syncing calendars with MobileMe

I have a weird problem with my 2nd gen iPod touch and MobileMe. I have several iCal calendars on my current generation MacBook Pro, MacPro, and iMac current generation, all of which are in sync with MobileMe. I have no problem syncing anything else with my iPod touch, except birthdays and my personal calendar.
For some reason, all the events in my personal calendar are missing on my iPod touch and so are birthdays. I have been looking through all the options I can think of on iCal, Mac OS X 10.5.6 preferences, and on MobileMe, and the online helps to no avail.
How do I get my personal events and birthdays back on my iPod touch? I tried power cycling it, but that didn't help. I tried resetting it and restoring the settings via iTunes. No go. All my software is current, including the iPod touch. Any ideas on how to fix this issue are welcome.

NP.
This is sort of the generic fix for this type of issue.
We see it on Exchange, Mail, POP, etc.
Affectionately known as the "flush & fill"
Usually works.
Glad it did for you.

ICal syncing issues with MobileMe, iPhone

A while back, I noticed that there were a couple of entires in my iCal that were damaged/corrupt—I could not delete them without iCal crashing. I was willing to live with this, except that it started causing problems when syncing to MobileMe. New entries or not, my iMac attempted to sync with MobileMe almost constantly, and would hang in this mode for an inordinate amount of time. The constant syncing slowed down my Internet connection, so I turned syncing off and no longer updated my online calendar.
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased the iPhone. More often than not, syncing from my iMac to the iPhone caused iTunes to lock up or crash. When it didn't, it would take 5 to 10 minutes to sync, hanging on the calendar. When it was successful, my iPhone had every permutation of calendar events that had been moved or deleted—making it essentially useless.
Since the calendar seems to be the common denominator, I backed it up and deleted all entries from both iCal on my iMac and MobileMe. Now, syncing with my iPhone is effortless—but I have no access to my calendar entries. My question: How do I delete the offending entries from my calendar, thereby correcting the problem and once again having access to it on all devices and the Web?

From what your write, it is a little hard to tell, what exactly your problem is, though you may want to try the following, which helped me at time:
step one:
export all of your calendars one by one, including the one with entries giving you problems
step two:
erase all of your calendars and create a dummy character, check if syncing works with that one.
reimport the previously exported calendars one by one, redoing the syncing routines.
In the instances I had problems, I found that exporting and reimporting a calendar file usually did away with the problem
Also, at least on my machines, turning on the birthday link to address book, created some problems, so you might want to try without that feature too.
If you got everything working on one machine, another strategy can be to reinitiate syncing from that one, i.e. erase and reinstall the syncing process on the others. Just make sure you have an up to date back up of your entries.

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.

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

ICal not syncing correctly with MobileMe

For the last week or so, ever since MobileMe was being updated, my iCal synching with MobileMe and iPhone has stopped working correctly. When I enter a meeting into iCal, it syncs to MobileMe and therefore my iPhone.
HOWEVER, any new calendar entries from the iPhone (or MobileMe's website directly), do not show up on iCal even after i try to manually Sync them. Furthermore, if I change the time of a meeting or call on iCal, a DUPLICATE meeting is created in MobileMe, thus polluting my calendar on the iPhone and MobileMe with multiple entries. When I am on the road, I can't figure out which is the correct meeting anymore.
Not sure if this is due to new iTunes or the update with MobileMe servers last week.
Here is what I have done to troubleshoot this to date:
- In MobileMe preferences, I stopped synching my MacBook with MobileMe and wiped out all of the data on MobileMe. I rebooted my MacBook, then, I Reset Sync Data from iCal to MobileMe. It seeded fine, but still doesn't show any appointments created from the iPhone or within MobileMe on my iCal after re-syncing.
- I deleted my MobileMe account on my iPhone. Rebooted iPhone. Re-added my MobileMe account to the iphone and synched the calendar. The calendar syncs and shows up, but still no appointments created on my iPhone or within MobileMe show on my iCal.
- I have also tried to NARROW the variables of my issue by not synching ANYTHING ELSE other than iCal (no contacts, mail settings etc.). To No avail, still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?? I sense there is something cached in the bowels of my iCal settings, but have no idea to re-set them to re-enable synching.

I solved the issue. I took a risk and wiped my MobileMe account clean one last time, then RESET SYNCH Data from my MacBook to MobileMe.
Then, I crossed my fingers and deleted my calendars on my iCal desktop.
I then, chose RESET SYNCH Data FROM MobileMe TO MacBook pro - effectively overwriting my iCal with the same data I just uploaded into MobileMe.
The result? Everything started working again. I added meetings to my calendar with my iPhone and they showed up on my iCal Desktop (MacBook). Yeah!

Password problem with MobileMe Gallery

I'm having some trouble with configuring a password for my MobileMe gallery. My goal is to restrict access to two or three family members. I am logged into my MobileMe account, and have shared some photos to a gallery inside Aperture. They were successfully published. When I edit the settings of the album, there is an option to configure "Album viewable by". When I proceed to "Edit names and passwords", I add a couple of user names and passwords, and click OK. I'm taken back to the original configuration screen. When I try to edit the names again, just to confirm that they've been recorded, the user list is empty! It's as if the users I added weren't saved. Nor do they show up on the "viewable by" list. I only have the choice of "Everyone" and "Only Me". Is this yet-another-keychain-problem?

I checked out the procedure you described and can confirm what you say. The only names in my list are those created previously in iWeb galleries. These can be deleted in Aperture but not added to.

Syncing iTools with MobileMe

iSync on my older PowerBook G4 still wants to sync with my old iTools account, while iSync on my newer PowerBook Pro wants to sync with MobileMe. The result is two calendars on an iTouch - an iTools calendar and a MobileMe calendar (and, of course, they're NOT in sync with each other). How I direct/change the PowerBook to go to MobileMe instead of iTools? (And, once that's done, how to I delete iTools from any/all Calendar references?
Thanks!

iTools doesn't exist any more. It was completely replaced by .Mac in July 2002, then in July 2008 .Mac was completely replaced by MobileMe.
MobileMe requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later. You don't say what version of OS X your old PowerBook is running, but you should update it to at least 10.4.11 for it to be able to successfully sync with MobileMe. Hopefully this should resolve your syncing issues.
Also, since the release of Mac OS X 10.4 iSync no longer has anything to do with syncing to MobileMe (or it's predecessors .Mac and iTools)
