If this is your first plug-in you are installing, you would need to create the Plugins folder in your home directory | Library | Application Support | Adobe | Lightroom

Drag or copy the entire "MobileMeExport.lrdevplugin" folder from your desktop inside the Plugins folder.

The following two screenshots illustrate how the folder contents should look like in Finder after the installation:

Adding the plug-in to Lightroom

Start Lightroom and bring up the Plug-in Manager (File | Plug-in Manager...).

Click Add

Navigate to and select the MobileMeExport.lrdevplugin folder. Click OK.

You will be prompted to update your catalog:
The plug-in adds a metadata field to your catalog, so it can track exported photos and correctly process the options to "replace" or "skip" previously uploaded photos. This is a safe operation and it takes only a second to complete. Click Update.

Now the plug-in is ready for use. MobileMe Gallery should appear in the list of installed plug-ins in the Plug-in Manager, with a green ball next to it:

Activation

Now that plug-in has been installed and added to the Plug-in Manager, you will need to activate the plug-in, if you have purchased your registration code that is.

Select MobileMe Gallery in the list of installed plug-ins on the left hand side. The Plug-in Info panel will be displayed on the right:

Click the Activate Plug-in... button, the Plug-in Activation window comes up.
Enter your first name, last name, and the serial number exactly as they appear in the registration e-mail from alloyphoto@alloyphoto.com. Then click Activate... Once your information is validated, Lightroom will display a confirmation message:
Now you can click Done to close the Plug-in Manager. Now you are ready to export your albums to the MobileMe Gallery. The export process is explained in detail on the MobileMe Plug-in Usage page.

Downloaded mobileme plugin yesterday so far very impressed

Question is it possoble to Export from the slideshow module of Lightroom to mobileme if not is it possible to add this to the plugin

  Bob, I think we need to clearly distinguish between the purpose of the slideshow module and the functionality of web galleries.
  
  Web galleries typically can store only photos (MobileMe also allows for video content). They also provide their own mechanism for navigating photo albums and browsing photos.
  
  The slideshow module in Lightroom on the other hand is intended for creating standalone and self-contained slideshows consisting of photos and a bunch of HTML/Javascript/Flash files for driving the slideshow. Also, the slideshow module contains a mechanism for uploading generated slideshows to a web site (your hosting environment) via FTP.
  
  With the MobileMe Gallery in particular, there is no ability to create slideshows within photo galleries.
  That’s what it boils down to, unless of course, I am missing something or misunderstanding what you’re asking for.

I dowloaded your software i have not payed the $15.
¿How can i use your restricted version for 10 photos?
- #4 | Written by Vlad about 15 years ago. Reply
  
  Select no more than 10 photos then export them.
  You’ll find a usage example here: http://alloyphoto.com/plugins/mobileme-gallery-lightroom-plugin/installation/

Vlad, Thank you for giving me the web address with the instructions on how to export a photo to a MobileMe Gallery. Your screen captures & notes are clear, concise & easy to follow. I just exported my 1st photo from Lightroom (LR) to MMe and it was a breeze. I’m a klutz when it comes to following instructions but you made it easy. It was very exciting to login to MMe, name a new album in Gallery & have my photo pop up in a gallery in MobileMe in less than 15 seconds. Very elegant. Congratulations.

I downloaded your plugin: really good.
With Miobileme gallery I am using private Gallery. This is possible with IPhoto and Aperture. Is it possible with your plugin?

  Thanks!
  With my plug-in you can choose to “Hide the album on my Gallery page” when creating an album. I believe this has the same effect as making it private in IPhoto or Aperture.

Hi There Vlad,

I am on Two 24″ iMacs, an older 17″ Macbook Pro, and as a photographer, I have a .Me/.Mac account for 2 years now, and I love it; I mean I have managed to drop my iPhone about half a dozen times (it is Generation 0, the first one), and it really ticks on and on. So needless to say I am a Born-again Mac guy; with a B.S.Degree in Windows XP, go figure. You may wonder why i profess all this to your site, and it is because, As much as I LOVE all things Mac; I REALLY REALLY LOVE all things Adobe!!! So anything to “Bridge” Adobe’s sophistication and class to Mac’s clever fun things keeps me up at night…Hard to shut down my mind. So Thank you so much for helping me accomplish the Adobe-Mac bi-lateral chatter, so to speak.

Until yesterday, I have really been lagging behind on all the good LR2 plugins, Exchange,etc. And based on 5 mins of reading about MobileMe Plugin, I trustingly bought it, and thus far WORTH EVERY PENNY, DONATIONS, WHATEVER… I registered everything and I have an issue which, I am not sure what to make of it.

I exported 100+ images to make a shiny new gallery, walked away for an hour, checked the progress and only 32 images went through, so I started to continue with the rest of my pics, which you designed brilliantly BTW…No way can one screw up and get unwanted dupes or xtra folders, you know. Well it happened again, and I the only thing I can say/ask aside from this super long piece of literature. Is that each time I continued the export to Mobile Me, I needed to login again…so do you think there is a setting that is causing MobileMe to time me out??

Honestly there was an error message from the MobileMe Plugin dialogue box listing selected images that did not export over with no clear message that I could remember. Any ideas??

Also, do you have any other cool Plugins in the pipeline, or for CS3 CS5?? I actually bought/donated all sorts of stuff from Photographer’s Toolbox, and TTG Pages plus TTG Maker. I know this may sound like an odd question, but I am so eager to find more like your plugin. Any Inspirational & Functional products, plugins, whatever, that has affected your workflow and therfore your happiness???? I would really appreciate any tips beyond your site that you think is worthy.

So Sorry for this long-long reply. Just excited that’s all!!!!

Thanks again and All my Best to you….David

  David, thanks for the kind words about my plug-in!
  The issue with timing out sounds like a bug – I’ll test my plug-in again on a large upload and see if I can reproduce. However, if you get a chance, please follow the instructions in the Support sections on the plug-in page to generate and e-mail me a debug log file, so I can better see where the time-out is coming from.
  As far as other plug-ins are concerned, I am currently working to make my plug-ins compatible with the upcoming release of LR3. Some of my plug-ins are even going to take advantage of the new “publish services” concept in LR3.
  And if you’re looking just for a general advise on plug-ins for Lightroom and Photoshop, I would suggest looking into Nik Software’s plug-ins, such as Viveza and Color Efex Pro for editing your photos.

Hey mate,

I was just wondering. I know that this was touched on earlier in your blog. But, with when you create a login using iphoto there is an option to create a login and password for that specific folder… is this possible with your plugin?

Also, i have over 50 folders of different client folder in mobile me. When i use your plugin only about 12 come up?! Do you know why this is??

Otherwise your plugin would be perfect!

Cheers,

Dom

  I couldn’t find a way to password protect the albums. Only when you export photos from IPhoto or Aperture you can set a password, but unfortunately Apple don’t disclose how they do that. If I find a solution, I’ll definitely incorporate it into the plug-in.

  As far as folders are concerned – by default the plug-in displays only the last two months worth of albums. If you need to select older albums choose a different option in the “Show” drop-down.

Hi Vlad,

I bought the registration for this plug-in, but the conflict you mention is keeping it from working (sad). Is there a way to migrate this module to the new publish services format to allow this to work with Macs in 64-bit lightroom?
- #14 | Written by Vlad about 14 years ago. Reply
  
  Hello,
  
  Because of this bug, the support for Publish Services in the MobileMe plug-in will not work for Mac users. This is why I am not releasing the new version just yet.
  As soon as Adobe fixes the issue there will be a new release with the added support for Publish Services and a couple of new exciting features.

Great Plug-in. Thanks!

Great tool. Works now on Mac with LR3.2.
Only left wish I have is the ability (like in Aperture3) to draft a link in a mail to announce it.
Also I liked in Aperture that I could manage username and passwords per upload.
Cheers from Germany

  Thanks! Both features are in development now. Password protection is something we may expect to see soon.

Hi!!

Love this plugin!!! Just wondering if you are able to upload photos with formatting applied in the “print” module?

Cheers,
Lia.

  Thanks!
  The Print module in Lightroom can only generate JPEGs on the hard drive. What you can do though, import generated JPEGs to your catalog and then export or publish via the plug-in. Just a suggestion…

Windows XP, Vista, 7:	%APPDATA%\Adobe\Lightroom\Plugins
Mac OS:	~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Plugins/
