Is it possible....to save photos from the MobileMe Gallery?

I lost my hard-drive several months back & many photos. However, there are some photos in my MobileMe gallery that were not able to be saved from my old hard-drive... Is there an easy way to pull these photos from the MobileMe Gallery onto my 'new' hard-drive? I have already changed to iCloud (if that makes a difference). Thanks in advance for your help!

iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Yes. There's a new photo sharing site, ZangZing, that can import photos from MobileMe Galleries into albums. The site allows 2 GB space free like Dropbox.

Just enter the URL for the gallery and import. You'll get something like this for each gallery:

You can mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites/_galleries folder on your Desktop and drag each numbered subfolder onto your Desktop. All of you photos will be in those subfolders within other subfolders. Each photo will have 3 versions. If you setup the gallery so visitors could download the photos each photo subfolder will have the full sized image file in it. There will be 3 versions, medium, web and large. The large.jpg will the the file you will want to keep. However, you will have to rename each large.jpg file to match the actual file name.

Even though you have migrated to iCloud there is a very easy way to do it, no need to go through a third party site. Go to me.com and sign in to your account. You will get a splash screen that says "Mail is now in the cloud." Click on the cloud icon in the upper left corner of the window, then click on the gallery icon. This will take you to the gallery management page. Click once on a gallery in the sidebar of the window, then click on the down arrow at the top of the window. This will create a .zip file of all the pictures in the gallery that you can then download. Best to do this sooner than later because as of June 30 these galleries will be deleted off the server when mobileme ceases being.



Cheers
