How To Upload iPhone Photos to MobileMe

Having problems uploading your iPhone photos to MobileMe? Me too. I setup my MobileMe email account on the iPhone and that worked perfectly. But every time I tried to upload a picture to MobileMe, I got this error:

“Photo Delivery Failed A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Operation could not be completed. (NSStreamSocketSSLErrorDomain error -9829.)“

That error doesn’t tell me anything so I looked for some instructions. The only thing I found on Apple’s website was a MobileMe Gallery Features – no instructions. Just like the MobileMe Sync Issue, I had to figure it out myself.

The trick: Set your Default email address on your iPhone to your MobileMe address! That should do it, but just in case you need a little tutorial, Here’s how you can upload photos from your iPhone to MobileMe…

You’ve got to change the default email address on your iPhone to your MobileMe email. We’ll do this in the next couple steps:

Click Settings on your iPhone

Mail, Contacts, Calendars

Scroll down a bit and click on Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

(Mine is named “MobileMe Email” but yours might be called something like zyx@mobileme.com.)

Pick A Photo To Upload

Exit Settings and go find a photo (of a daschund) you’d like to upload.

Tap on the photo to bring up the menu shown above.

Now tap Send to MobileMe

Select The MobileMe Photo Album

Now you should see a list of all your Albums in MobileMe. Tap on the photo album that you want to add this picture to.

Whatever you type in the Subject will become the title of the photo in MobileMe.

1. Tap the subject to give it a new title (or leave it – your choice)
