MobileMe: Deleting or editing Gallery content

Resolution

iPhoto, iMovie, and Aperture handle modifications to published content differently:

iPhoto

• Performing the command iPhoto > Empty Trash will unpublish content from MobileMe Gallery if you remain logged in to your account. This can also happen when performing this action on items under Events or Photos associated with content published to MobileMe Gallery. To remove Photos and Events from the Trash without affecting published content, first log out of your MobileMe account by choosing Apple > System Preferences,  selecting MobileMe and clicking Sign Out.
• If you delete or edit an image in iPhoto while a sync or publish is running, that image may not get published to an album on your MobileMe Gallery.  Sometimes, the album that contains a photo you have edited or deleted while a publish or sync was running may not appear in the Web Gallery until you perform a subsequent publish or sync request.

iMovie

• If you select a project from the iMovie Project Library, then choose File > Move Project to Trash and click Delete, only the locally stored project is deleted. The movie is still online at MobileMe. The online copy of the movie can be removed from MobileMe Gallery by clicking the Delete icon in the MobileMe toolbar. Another way to remove movies from MobileMe is to choose Share > Remove from MobileMe in iMovie.  This removes both the locally stored movie and the published project.

Aperture

• Deleting an image while a publish is running will not stop the publish activity.  Images or albums will be published to MobileMe as "Copy of...image_name". To halt a publish and remove albums, choose Aperture > Preferences, select the Web Gallery tab, select the album in question, and click Stop Publishing.  To delete specific images in an album you have already published, use the Delete icon in the MobileMe Gallery toolbar online.
