Syncing MobileMe Gallery to iPhone

Hello,
I created a few galleries on my MobileMe account, and have set them to sync with Aperture. When I launch Aperture, I see this MobileMe galleries in the project list. However, when I open iTunes to sync these galleries to my iPhone, they do not show up in the album list (in iTunes).
Any idea why this is?
Thanks in advance.

Once you sync them from Aperture, they are on the Internet at MobileMe. You don't sync them to your iPhone. On your iPhone, open Safari and go to http://gallery.mac.com/iphone/"your username". You may want to add this url to your iPhone desktop if you visit it regularly.

Sync MobileMe Galleries to iPhone/iPod

iTunes (8.1.1) continues to give options for syncing All Photos, All/Some Events or All/Some Albums.
BUT does anyone know how you can sync All/Some MobileMe galleries from iPhoto '09 onto the iPhone/iPod via iTunes?
I realise that the iPhone can access the MobileMe galleries over the web, but there are times when it would just be a lot quicker and easier having the photos on the device itself. And, of course, the web is not an option for my iPod! The reason I want this is that the MobileMe galleries tend to be my polished presentations - all the non-essential photos have been removed, and often they contain photos from multiple events/albums.
Cheers!

Hi LN,
Thanks for the quick response. This certainly is an option, and so far, the only option that I have found. It does, though, have a few drawbacks:
Creating an album for each MobileMe gallery would need to be performed each time a new MobileMe gallery is created. I create my MobileMe galleries on a different machine to the one on which I sync my iPhone/iPod, so it would then require management of MobileMe galleries on one Mac and management of a corresponding album on another Mac! Much easier if I could sync straight from the MobileMe galleries that are automatically sync'ed between my Macs.
Also, since many of my MobileMe galleries are put together firstly as albums, I would end up with several duplicate or nearly duplicate albums - would need careful management of the albums, again because of the differing machines.
Creating one single album for all my MobileMe galleries would mean that all the photos are lumped together under one category on the iPhone/iPod. This would make navigating to the appropriate photos much harder.
But perhaps most importantly, when photos are uploaded to an existing MobileMe gallery (either by myself or by others), these uploaded photos would not automatically be added to the corresponding album. I would, therefore, need to manage the albums manually, making sure I manually add in any new photos. I had thought that a Smart Album could sort this issue out, but it appears that Smart Albums cannot be created using a MobileMe gallery as their source...go figure!
Anyway, thanks very much for the input.

How to sync Mobileme gallery to iPhoto?

I have 2 Macs, same mobileme account, when I publish an album to mobileme from Mac1 it does not show up under Mobileme Gallery of Mac2?
How do you setup the sync of your Mobileme gallery?
Thank you

Once you create the iPhoto MMe gallery the Album you originally used is not longer linked to it.
You need to copy the new photos from wherever in the library they are and paste them into the gallery album that you access in the Web section at the left.
Click to view full size
That will cause the new photos to automatically be synced online.

Syncing mobileme Gallery over one account on 2 Macs

Hi,
I use 1 mobileme account to sync the adressbooks of my two Macs, that works fine.
On the ohter hand, Iphoto doesn't want to sync the moblieme gallery's on both macs.
In fact, Iphoto opens the mobileme Gallery on both of my Macs. but on one Mac it only shows the photos i published using that specific Mac, the rest of the photos, published with the other Mac show as blanks.
On the other hand when my friends upload photos using the Webbrowser, the photos show up on both Macs.
Does anybody have a suggestion, how to make this work ?

Hello Mordred,
I have the same issue on my computers. It seems that MobileMe will not sync images to libraries that both came from the same location. So if you copied your iphoto library from computer A to computer B. and then added images to a gallery on computer A, those images will not show up on computer B. MobileMe seems to be tracking the library and will not sync the same content to a library it thinks is the "same".
Suggestions:
1.) Let Apple know that you are having this issue. iPhoto Menu > Provide iPhoto Feedback
2.) Rebuild one of the libraries that are affected. Follow the "Performing a "Manual rebuild"" section of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. I did this on one of my systems and now it works fine. Keep in mind following these steps will only give you your pictures in the library in question. Albums, Books, Faces, etc. will not be there and will have to be re-created.
Hope that helps.

Syncing MobileMe Gallery into iPhoto

I am trying to moving a mobileme gallery of photos into iphoto. The "sync" is taking over 12 hours. How can I stop it and start over?
Thanks.

Do a force quit of iPhoto via the Apple Menu () ➙ Force Quit.

Checking a MobileMe-gallery on iPhone 3G!

I've been having some problems checking a MobileMe gallery on my iPhone 3G safari browser, it works very well until I press log in, then it loads for a while and pop up again asking for log-in information..
Does anyone know why or maybe experience the same problem?

I also am having problems accessing a MobileMe gallery with my iPhone. Same problem as in the first post: it keeps asking for log-in information (and Cancel won't make it quit!). I tried several times today with no luck but when I got home tonight it worked fine. Go figure.

Sync MobileMe Gallery with iWeb site

Hi
I published an iPhoto album to my MobileMe account, and now the album is published, available for everyone to visit. I want to add a MobileMe Gallery widget to my homepage, but when i do so, the widget tells me to upload a gallery to my MobileMe and the album i created does not appear in the drop down menu. How can i resolve this?! Essentially i want a slideshow to appear on my homepage.
Thanks

Can Mobileme Gallery upload edited versions?

I'm trying to sync Mobileme Gallery. Aperture uploads unedited versions instead of edited versions. I want to upload edited versions. Is it possible?

Ok, thanks. Aperture will upload the edited versions but when I have edited a photo with Dodge & Burn, Aperture makes a tiff file. And when I put this tiff file in the gallery folder, Aperture puts both versions in the folder because the make together a stack. Then it uploads only the original version. So I have to unstack and then it works fine. I hope that I didn't have to unstack them...

I just installed last versión of iphoto and it erased my iPhoto events. Now i dont have iphoto library anymore and i only have my events in iPhone and in MobileMe gallery. How can i download and migrate events in MobileMe gallery to events in iPhoto ?

O also installed lion before and as i had filevault activated y lost my user information in timemachine. So, i have a useless backup. I only have events in iPhone ( due i didnt sync photos) and in MobileMe gallery, and i already migrate to iCloud. So?

MobileMe Gallery movies dont show on iPhone 3g

I have about 6 movies on my gallery page but only one of them shows up when I navigate there on my iPhone. Is there a size cap for movies that will show from the MobileMe gallery on an iPhone. Any ideas why the others wont show?

Once you subscribe to a calendar, the events should appear in your calendar. The calendar should also be listed with your other calendars on the left side of the window.
Click on the calendars name.
Go to File, then Export...
Save the calendar file on your desktop.
Then,
Go to File, then import...
Import the calendar back into iCal as a normal calendar.
It will then sync with your iPhone.
However, as a "normal" calendar and not a "subscription calendar", you lose the ability to stay synchronized.
Hope that made sense.

ICal / MobileMe To Dos & iPhone syncing over mobile networks: Solution!!!

I have been after a solution to use the to do list in iCal on my Mac @ home and the MobileMe Calendar web page while at work & away from home AND have it sync OTA with my iPhone. There hasn't been a solution that I have found for this until now! I have tried Things and OmniFocus, but in my opionion they are both too bloated for my needs. I want a simple todo list with due dates, notes, priorities and URLs, that I can use on desktops as well as mobile. The iCal / MobileMe to do list is perfect for this, but until now there hasn't been a way to keep the same todo list on my iPhone and keep it in sync everywhere.
I now have a solution. Appigo recently launched a beta of their iCal Sync app for OSX. I downloaded & installed this to my Mac at home, and downloaded their iPhone Todo app. Great syncing between iCal and iPhone over my home Wifi network. Then, I thought, what is to stop me using this over the internet when I'm not at home? So I setup a domain with no-ip.org, which allows you to point a domain name at your home DSL router IP address and have it forward traffic to your home computer. Using a DNS solution in this way means you can dynamically update the domain name to change when your router public IP address changes (unless you have a static IP assigned with your ISP). So, anyway, I set this up to point at my router's public IP address, then configured my home router to forward a specific TCP port to my Mac. So when traffic arrives at the router from the internet destined for this specific port, the router forwards it to the Mac. I configured the Appigo iCal sync app to listen on a static port (the same one I configured on the router) and ensured both my Mac and router firewalls were set to permit this traffic.
So now, with MobileMe set to sync automatically, I can add/edit/delete a todo on my iPhone when I'm away from my home wifi network and it instantly syncs with iCal on my Mac at home, then that gets propogated almost instantly to MobileMe. Also it means a change to the todo list on my Mac or on the MobileMe Calendar web page will also almost instantly get propgated to my iPhone (next timne the Todo app syncs).
Brilliant! The perfect solution for me, and only costing the price of the Appigo todo iPhone app!
If anyone would like more detail on how this was all done, let me know and I can go into more detail.
Just need to find something similar for note syncing now, and I'll be sorted.

Thanks for the excellent information on Appigo ToDo and Sync. This is great way to fulfill the unexplainable absence of this feature from Apple's own application suite (MobileMe, iCal, To Do items).
I downloaded Sync and the iPhone app. Configuration was a snap. I'm still working from a trial membership of MobileMe...with this feature working I'm just about ready to pony up and get a full membership.

Iphone can't play movie in mobileme gallery

I logged onto to my 3G or GPRS and tried playing my uploaded movie in my mobileme gallery but it states "this movie can not be played". However, when I converted to Wifi at home, it was able to access and play the video.
Can anyone explain why this is the case? Is it some configuration necessary to make it accessible via 3G or GPRS?

Bring the movie in question into iTunes first. Select the movie and from the Advanced menu select "create iPod or iPhone version". iTunes will create the proper format movie for the iPhone. Upload that one to the Gallery and you are done. The file then works from Windows, Macs and the iPhone.

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.
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. 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.

MobileMe Gallery & Facebook stuck syncing...

I have one gallery published to MobileMe and I just used iPhoto 09 to publish one album to my Facebook account. This morning they synced just fine.
This evening I moved around some photos and deleted some and the Facebook album has been "stuck" with the "sync pie" filled in about 40% (around 5 o'clock) and in the top right-hand corner I have a progress bar that says "uploading thumbnails".
My MobileMe gallery on the other hand is just forever "syncing" with the "sync pie" continually spinning but nothing else happening.
It's been like this for 30+ minutes now. I am skeptical to do anything else because I don't want to mess up my libraries in any way. I did go to my main iPhoto library (which contains a photo that is published in both online galleries I was talking about earlier) and I was unable to delete the photo (perhaps iPhoto is preventing me from doing that while it's trying to sync those two galleries?).
Any ideas/tip/tricks?
Thank you,
Keith

After 5 hours I decided I had waited long enough.
I hovered over the the "sync pies" until they turned to "x's" and then I clicked on the "x" to cancel the sync. I then tried to quit iPhoto and it warned me that iPhoto was trying to sync and presented me with the option of "cancel quit" or "stop sync and quit." I chose "stop sync and quit" but that did nothing... iPhoto just stayed open. I looked under "Force Quit" and iPhoto was NOT listed as not responding.
I tried to quit iPhoto again with the same two options presented to me. I finally did a force quit.
What gives?

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?
Rick

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.
Simply, this is not a feature at this time.
