What happens to MobileMe Galleries ?

Little confused about what happens to them and what the alternatives are ?
Also, what happens to the iWeb websites ?

airsculpture: that is right. web.me.com/yourhandle pages also disappear. iweb will continue working, but you will need to get your pages hosted at another site. note that some functionality (comments, page hit counters) will stop working. a facebook group was created to petition apple to reconsider this decision. see:

  • Aperture and iCloud - what happens to MobileMe galleries?

    Anyone have any insight on whether icloud will host aperture photo galleries?

    It is absolutely, inequitably wrong for Apple to to abandon all the MobileMe users with its faltered plan to discontinue the service.  Synching aside, it was and is the best and most economical way to share files and data for small companies like mine.  I was screwed when Apple discontinued dotMac after having spent days and weeks developing a web site utilizing the now defunct service.  I purchase the 60GB plan at roughly $200.00 per year and It's like DejaVu all over again.  Shame on you Apple if you stop supporting this wonderful product.
    I remember a company that was once proud to say "We think outside the box!"
    If that were true, then you would not pull the carpet out from under us again and again.
    The following info "Information about the MobileMe transition" Last Modified: June 06, 2011 Article: HT4597 is useless for planning my future business moves.
    Summary
    What's happening to MobileMe?
    Effective June 6, 2011, if you had an active MobileMe account, your service has been automatically extended through June 30, 2012, at no additional charge. After this, the MobileMe service will no longer be available.
    Products Affected
    MobileMe
    What will happen to the content I have on MobileMe?
    Apple has announced a new service called iCloud which will be available this fall and free for iOS 5 and OS X Lion users. When you sign up for iCloud, you'll be able to keep your me.com or mac.com email address and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to the new service.
    When iCloud becomes available this fall, more details and instructions will be provided on how to make the move.
    Can I create a new MobileMe account?
    You can no longer create a new 60-day trial account or start a new subscription using a code contained in a MobileMe box. However, if you have a Family Pack subscription, you can still create new family member accounts
    I think "alansky1" has the right idea:
    Please visit the MobileMe Feedback Page and let Apple know how you feel about this issue. It may do no good, but it certainly can't hurt.

    if i move to the cloud, what happens to my mobileme gallery? is there any alternative to the mobileme gallery? thanks

  • Lack of options in iCloud control panel compared to MobileMe Control panel, so now what happens if there is a conflict of data (Cloud vs  Computer)?

    Back then when we were syncing with MobileME, the control panel allows us to decide what to do when there is a conflit of data in the cloud vs the information on our computer.  We were given the option of Replacing information in Me with information on the computer or vice versa, but now we do not have any of these options.  And currently when i sync my computer with icloud, i dont know if the information (Contacts, Bookmarks) will be replaced with the current informaiton on the iCloud (transfered from MobileMe) or they will merge (if they merge then i would have double of contacts,bookmarks??) or the information in the iCloud would be replaced?
    If we had more options in the control panel of iCloud, then things can be simplier.  However, with the current iCloud control panel, we have no way of knowing what happens when there is a conflict and we won't know what action the iCloud would take for the conflict of information.
    So currently i still dont know if my Favourites (Bookmarks) will be replaced or not.
    Does anyone know if we can wipe out the info on iCloud and replace it with the data (Contacts, bookmark, calendars etc) on our computer?

    This is what I did...not ideal but seems to work for right now till iCloud actually syncs contacts into Outlook 2010 (PC/Win 7) like Mobile Me used to.  I opened the contacts in the iCloud contact address boxes in Outlook.  I selected all contacts by selecting one and then Ctrl-A (selects all), then Ctrl-C (copies all).  Then I went into the Outlook Contact folder which is blank from iCloud "stealing" all my contacts and in that empty box I hit Ctrl-V to past all contacts in.  I am now able to use my contacts when emailing in Outlook.
    Of course, any changes I make to my iPhone contact list or via iCloud will only sync back to the iCloud contacts lists in Outlook (and not Outlook's main calendar) so occassionally I'm thinking I'll need to go back and do this all again either figuring out a way to only copy new contacts over, or going into Outlook Contacts and deleting all of those, going back to Outlook iCloud contacts (which are syncing but not communicating with other aspects of Outlook like mail) and then do the process all over (select all, copy, paste).
    Seems silly that contacts can't work the same as they did with Mobile Me but it seems like Apple has a tendancy with everything but their actual iDevices to be screwy when things are working and make things more complicated.  I was not looking towards this day as I knew there would be some stupid issue as it seems like it always is that way with their new software rollouts.  In fact, I use Outlook 2010 through Parrells still cause their Mac version still won't sync even calendars...at least iCloud is still doing that with Outlook 2010 Windows...though still the same issue as Mobile Me that it doesn't sync with the main calendar...but I can still use it and sync well to the iPhone.

  • What will happen to MobileMe mailboxes in MacMail when MobileMe goes away this year?

    I use the Mac mail application to handle and store years of messages for business and home use. Currently, I store the bulk of my e-mail archives, which I use regularly, on my Mac, rather than on MobileMe (which is what appears in the Mail application in the Mailbox List).
    I love the ease of Time Machine, but recently had a serious outage after a series of power surges, which destroyed thousands of dollars of electronics in my home. My computer equipment had surge protection and came through fine, but I still worry about the fragility of storing data long-term in the same location as my work and home computers. I'm increasingly looking for cloud-based solutions for secure long-term storage and back-up. I've experimented with Drop Box and have migrated to iCloud, which works so much better than MobileMe that it's stunning.
    Specifically, regarding the Apple Mail app, I split my storage of e-mail archives between mailboxes "On My Mac" and in "MobileMe." Can I move the Mac-based archives to "MobileMe," or will those mailboxes go away with the final transition to iCloud and the disappearance of MobileMe? And if those are to continue as a feature iCloud, can I be sure those archives (including file attachments) will be available to me in the future without worry about corruption or other data loss? 
    Thanks.

    My issue is not moving folders from .mac to iCloud. The issue is that in the Mail app, my Folder List shows messages can be stored either "On My Mac," i.e. stored locally on my hard drive, or on "MobileMe," which is in the cloud. However, since I have migrated to iCloud, why does the Mail app continue to show my cloud-based e-mail storage under "MobileMe."
    This raises the obvious question as to whether these archived folders labeled "MobileMe" will disappear when MobileMe fully shuts down this year. Does anyone have documentation addressing this question. If the folders listed under "MobileMe" are indeed in iCloud, why aren't they now labeled "iCloud," instead of "MobileMe"?
    I don't believe this is an obvious question. For example, my understanding is that any files I have currently stored in my iDisk space on MobileMe will be lost at the shut-down of MobileMe because the iDisk app will not be supported in iCloud. At present, those files and my iDisk folders are accessible to me, even though I've migrated to iCloud and can no longer sign into other legacy MobileMe services, such as http://me.com/mail.
    To be clear, I'm not looking for opinions or guesses about what might happen when MobileMe shuts down. I'm looking for Apple documentation on what services and legacy data stored in the cloud through MobileMe will be available in iCloud post-shut-down and what steps need to be taken in advance to ensure that I don't lose data.
    Thanks.

  • HT1349 What does it mean that MobileMe Mail is no longer available in iCloud, when you switch? What happens to all one's previous mail?

    What does it mean that MobileMe Mail is no longer available in iCloud, when you switch? What happens to all one's previous mail? How is/ is all ones mail transfered?

    You may be able to re download past purchases, read here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you delete purchases, they are no longer stored in iCloud.

  • Considering stopping mobileme...what happens to my purchased apps?

    Hi all,
    I was just wondering what happens to the apps I have purchased for my iPhone if I were to cancel my mobileme subscription? (I log into the iTunes/App store with my mobileme email account)
    Do I loose all my apps? Can I convert them to another account/email address?
    Thanks!

    Do I loose all my apps?
    No
    Can I convert them to another account/email address?
    No. Just change the email address you use for your current iTunes account.

  • What happens to my MobileMe Gallery when I switch to iCloud?

    I have about 20 picture folders in my MobileMe Gallery.
    1.  What happens to those pictures when I switch to iCloud? Do I need to manually download each folder and then reload them to iCloud?
    2. Gallery had a nice option of making some folders public and others private - does anyone know if this option exists in the iCloud photostream?
    3. I currently have a PC (ugh! - saving to get a MAC) running Windows XP Pro - am I correct that Photostream will not work with my PC?
    Many thanks for any help!!

    If you have an iPhone 4 or 4s, an iPad 2 or newer you could download iPhoto for iOS; import your albums onto the devices and use the Journal function to create a journal and post it to iCloud for friends to see. It even allows you to announce to your friends and family the new post.  The images look as if they are posted on a bulletin board. After selecting an image, the view can manually view the next image by pressing the next button or view all of them in a slideshow.  

  • You guys know what happens to the money it paid for mobileme what happens when you pass the iclud?

    No. That is how Apple has it set up.

  • MobileMe Galleries Slow and address redirected

    I use MobileMe galleries increasingly with Aperture. They have worked well and are fast and easy.
    In the last few days, I have noticed a serious slow down with viewing galleries in Safari. Specifically, I've noticed that the page loads almost completely (slowly) then redirects to a very slightly changed name. So where the page address as shown in Aperture is for example : http://gallery.me.com/membername100123 ... it starts to load this page (slowly) then when almost done, redirects to this page : http://gallery.me.com/membername#100123. Note the '#' character. This page also loads incredibly slowly. By slow I mean at around 10KBs to 40KBs.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about what is happening? Anyone else seeing the same thing?
    Why is Aperture creating incorrectly addressed galleries? Any suggestions about how to fix this?

    Answering my own question ...
    It appears to be a DNS problem/issue with Safari or MobileMe or my ISP or a combination of them.
    I always use my ISP's DNS servers. But trying some others show the problems. Google's are slow, but Open-DNS is as fast as Firefox. (I wonder if Firefox are doing some sort of DNS juggling internally?). Using Automatic and the router for DNS is slow too.
    (BTW ... I had already reset Safari etc.)
    The issue for Aperture remains though, in that it is supplying an erroneous/out-of-date URL for MobileMe galleries.

  • Journals to become MobileMe Galleries' replacement?

    I played around with iPhoto for iPad and in particular the Journals feature, which is quite cool. I've got some issues but I guess that's to be expected with a v1.0.
    It struck me that Journals could be the replacement for the MobileMe Galleries I was so sad to loose.
    But to really replace Galleries, the following should happen:
    Published journals should be browsable from icloud.com as the galleries are from me.com. Currently, the only way to reach them is to use the cryptic links generated by iPhoto.
    The journals feature should be integrated in iPhoto on Mac OSX, where it would make even more sense.
    The journals should be browsable on the AppleTV, as the MobileMe galleries currently are.
    I think the above has a reasonable chance to happen. What worries me is that full iCloud compatibility may require a new version of iLife & OSX, which would left out a lot of users not equipped with the latest and coolest machine, given the Mountain Lion hardware requirements.
    Hopefully, iLife '12 will still work on Lion, and, who knows, Apple may even provide a last update for the 1st gen AppleTV.

    I have a couple of questions for those that have downloaded iPhoto for iOS and have played with the Journals features:
    1. When viewing the Journal can the person download it to save on their computer? Can they download individual photos instead of the complete journal?
    2. How big are these journals and do they count towards your iCloud space limit?
    In regards to these being a replacement for Galleries it seems to be a start but besides the missing features mentioned already I would also add the ability to upload videos. Galleries was a great way to share photos but also a great way to share videos without limitations (just space). All other websites that I have looked at to replace galleries have limit on size and length of the video.

  • Closing One iTunes Account to Use Another, What Happens Next?

    Hey,
    I recently setup a .Mac Account for my iWeb, and now want to use the same username for my iTunes, instead of a hotmail.com Apple ID (aID).
    I contacted Apple and they said that I can't merge the two accounts.
    In my Hotmail aID Account I still have come credit on the count, $24.00 approx.
    Now here's a solution I thought.
    If I GIFT a television show to myself at my new .Mac aID - it will use the credit in my account...
    Now I have a couple of questions:
    1) Who's account name will appear on the gifted television show? My new or old ID?
    2) What happens to all the other content that I have purchased with my old account? Will I still be able to play these?
    Can anyone see any problems in this solution.... its the only way I can think of getting around the merge... I want to stop my Hotmail aID and use my new .Mac aID.
    THANKS for any advice and help.

    I have a similar issue. I would like to change an existing Apple ID to a MobileMe address. However, since an Apple ID is automatically created when you sign up for MobileMe, I was not allowed to change my existing Apple ID to the new MobileMe e-mail address. It does not make since that this is not possible, especially since both are Apple products and MobileMe is a paid service. This is a hassle when making iTunes purchases as I will have to maintain login info and authorizations for both my old Apple ID and the new MobileMe created Apple ID. Is it possible to close an Apple ID account. If so, I could close the MobileMe created Apple ID and then change the e-mail address on the old Apple ID to the new MobileMe address. Sounds kinda confusing. If this is possible, how do you do it? Thanks in advance.

  • Same photo in more than one catalog - what happens?

    What happens if you have the same photo in more than one catalog?
    Background: I'm using a 4yr old 13" MacBook and my Lightroom is getting rather slow, on some pictures unusable.  At the same time my lrcat files are growing rather fast.  Probably due to my current work on some old scanned slides which require quite a lot of spot removal (last 3 photos worked on increased the lrcat file by 250mb) and each time Lightroom became virtually unusable.  I will be upgrading the computer but it wont be for a few months yet.  On one of the last slides I ended up with a "Oops! An untagged string (history step does not belong to instance) got thrown far enough that we display it to the user. This shouldn't happen.".
    So I'm looking at splitting my catalog into two or more seperate catalogs.  But I have some galleries which contain photos from what would cross "sensible" splits of catalog so I thought about having the same photo in both catalogs where necessary.
    My Lightroom is set to include metadata in XMP (probably making the performance worse).  I had intended to split catalogs using "export to catalog".
    Does the photo in each catalog have it's own develop "fork" ? (i.e. does the metadata include catalog tags) ?  Or will changes made to the photo in one catalog automatically upadate the next catalog (or overwrite changes made in the other catalog), etc.?  Only a single computer, no network/sharing issues, nothing on exchangable/removable disk drives.
    I could experiment but after quite some time the other day resolving the "history step does not belong to instance") I am treating my catalog with great care.
    (I have does a search for the question so will be very embarassed/appologetic if somebody says "Read www.adobe.com/.....").
    Many thanks

    For some reason photos were scanned in as jpegs.  They end-up at around 16-19MB each.  Reasons for that are historical.  I am applying spot corrections in Photoshop in a new layer, then merging layers when everyting is done OK to save (saving as PSD gave a massive file size).  I will try saving as tiff.  Personally I hate JPEGs but was never too concerned about the scans in LR as LR is never resaving the image (non-destructive editing).  I may easily upgrade to CS6 (upgrade is <£200 on Amazon), but being non-professional, fuds are not unlimited (particularly with new computer coming soon!!).
    So weird effect is with jpegs around 16MB after Photoshop edits.  It is completely reproducable (i.e. has happened exactly the same of every photo done via this route).  The surprising thing is that exiting and restarting LR stops the weird effect.
    Adding 2 and 2 together to get 22, I wonder if, as I have "Write Metadata to XMP ..." enabled, if LR has a watch on the file for changes after switching to external editor (i.e. to detect when external editor saved changes so LR updates from the file) and that that "watch for change" is not cancelled after exiting the external editor - maybe because LR cannot know if external editing is compketed (even though exitng Photoshop does not stop the effect).  Then, when LR writes to the file (to update the XMP data) it "detects" the change it causd itself and hence the reload.  If I change the Catalog Settings to disable the "Include develop settings in JPEG ..." and disable the "Save XMP Data ...", the effect goes away and if I re-enable those catalog options the effect returns.
    I will try saving as tiff in future now I'm really re-saving the image.
    Many thanks

  • What Happens to Me after 6/30/12?  My devices are not supported!!!

    What Happens to Me after 6/30/12?  Do I get to keep my @me.com address from MobileMe because My Mac, PC nor iOS device is supported by iCloud
    On 6/30/12 All ACTIVE MobileMe accounts that havn't MOVED to iCloud will be deleted as MobileMe is no longer available.
    Yes, this has a lot of customers upset, but you can still keep your account active and going until you are able to address the issue with the current versions of your computer and devices.
    iCloud does have a web based version like any other email address out there.  You may not be able to access the account on your Computers or devices as you would like to for what ever reason, but this will help you to keep your email address and gain access to it.
    iCloud: Supported system requirements
    You can KEEP your MobileMe email address and move it to iCloud even though your devices are not compatible and here is how.
    ****Mac OS X 10.4.11 and before: DOES NOT fall into this catagorey as 10.4.11 doesn't Support Safari 5.****
    NON-Supported Devices & Browsers for iCloud
    DEVICES & COMPUTERS
    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

    Before moving the account to iCloud.  First create a MobileMe back up of all your data.  This will ensure it has been saved to your computer.
    How to back up MobileMe data:
    Summary
    You can back up your MobileMe data to your Mac or Microsoft Windows-based PC.
    This is different from syncing with MobileMe: syncing should not be considered a backup of your data because changes to the data can propagate automatically.
    Sync your MobileMe account to me.com and your current iOS device if you have one.
    Make sure the data has synced to the device and http://me.com.
    Then you will need to DISABLE MobileMe syncing from your Computer and Devices
    On the iPhone
    To delete your MobileMe account from the iPhone/Pad/Pod Touch, tap Settings ☞ Mail, Contacts, Calendars ☞ Tap your MobileMe account.  Next, you will turn the sliders off for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks Calendars.  You are going to be asked if you want to keep or delete the data from the iPhone/Pad/Pod Touch.  Make sure you KEEP on the iPhone/Pad/Pod Touch.
    This will prevent data loss.
    ☞ Then Tap Delete Account. DON'T FORGET TO KEEP THE DATA ON THE DEVICE!!!
    On the Mac
    Click on  ☞ System Preferences ☞ MobileMe ☞ Account tab ☞ Sign Out.
    To Move your account to iCloud
    ☞☞☞☞IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BACK UP THE MOBILEME DATA AND TO SIGN OUT OF MOBILEME ON ALL DEVICES AS THIS CAN CAUSE POSSIBLE DATA LOSS DUE TO THE CURRENT OS YOU ARE USING.*****
    Link: MobileMe: About moving to iCloud
    Summary
    If you have an active MobileMe account when you move to iCloud, you’ll be able to keep your @me.com or @mac.com email address and move your MobileMe Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, as well as your Bookmarks, to the new service.
    Go to http://me.com/move
    Log in with your FULL MobileMe email address including @me.com
    (For @mac users, use @me.com just to log in.  You will later see your account is @mac.com still)
    As you go thorough the prompts, you will see an ALERT regarding if your OS is supported by iCloud.
    Ignore this and select YES.  This will contiue the iCloud set up.
    Once it is done, you will have web access to iCloud via a supported browser (see below) for iCloud.
    icloud.com
    To access your mail, contacts, calendars, Find My iPhone, and iWork documents from your computer's web browser, one of these browsers is required:
