Copy Facebook albums between iPhoto libraries?

My iPhoto Library recently became "unreadable" and I essentially have to start over from scratch with a new library.  Is it possible to copy/transfer my iPhoto Facebook albums to my new library?  I have iPhoto Library Manager: will that help?
If this isn't possible, should I keep my "corrupt" library?  Will my Facebook albums get erased off of Facebook if I delete it?  As of now they are still fine on Facebook.
Thank you!

Why not try to fix the problem??
Best is to load your backup
If you do not have one (if you do not you will lose all of your photos - and other files sooner or later)
Or backupyour iPhoto library and depress the option and command keys and repair it - if that does not do it then use the rebuild options
last resort is to user iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and rebuild

  • Moving albums between iphoto libraries

    I have three iPhoto libraries on my mac book pro. I have created albums and events in each and want to consolidate the albums to a single Iphoto library.
    How do I do that?

    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($30) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • Add Current Facebook Albums to iPhoto?

    Has anyone found a way to download your current facebook albums to iPhoto? I'd like to be able to do this so that I could add new pictures to them and have them sync back up to facebook instead of having to create new ones.

    I know this question has been tossed around a few times after looking at the existing threads, but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to get iPhoto to recognize and sync an existing Facebook album without creating a new album and moving the photos over?
    no
    The problem with that is that I lose the initial post on the wall with the album and it also nullifies links I've shared via Twitter to the albums. I've even gone as far as look at possibly modifying the database data, but that seems pretty much impossible to do without corrupting it. I really like the idea of iPhoto syncing and managing Facebook albums, but it seems pretty ridiculous that I can't add existing albums regardless of the quality of the images in them. Anyone agree?

  • What is the difference between switching between Iphoto libraries.....

    ...using iphoto and iphoto08? I ask because right now I  have iphoto (what ever the latest before 08) i have so many photos i had to add some libraries, which by the way was not easy. Then to switch between libraries i have to close iphoto hold options button and click on iphoto then it tells me to choose a libary. When i try to choose it does not show all of my libraries. I also don't think I can have mulitipal libraries open at the same time. With iphoto 08 can I have more than one open and is it easier to find libraries and switch between them? Please help. I have quit using my iphoto be cause i am so frusterated!

    mel8502:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As LH recommended the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will let you quickly and easily move between multiple libraries. I use iPLM to manage over 15 libraries and can move between them in a flash like this. Once you add a library to iPLM you can just use iPLM to open that library without having to go thru the Option key method and trying to remember where the library is located. Much faster with iPLM.
    If you need to copy photos between libraries and keep the keywords and comments intact you can with the paid version of iPLM.
    I do have one library that's 20,000+ photos in size and don't have any problems with it. However, you should have a backup plan for your libraries.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Importing Facebook albums into iphoto.

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if it is possible to import my photo album names and details from Facebook into iphoto? I know I can go the other way and edit albums I have created in iphoto and then uploaded into Facebook. However, I cannot seem to add photos to albums that I created in Facebook via iphoto. For example, if I create an album in Facebook, I cannot seem to access this album in iphoto as I didn't create it within iphoto.

    Please see my write-up and video tutorial on a solution to your question. I had the same need so I came up with this method.

  • Need to recover Facebook albums from iPhoto

    I was using my sisters MacBook to import photos from my iPhone to her iPhoto. She deleted ALL of the albums from her iPhoto, and it not only deleted the photos i had just imported, but it deleted ALL of my FACEBOOK ALBUMS!!!! How do I recover ALL of my Facebook Albums and photos i uploaded?

      but deleting iPhoto Facebook albums does not delete albums on facebook.com.
    It does next time you log into facebook.The idea is that you're using iPhoto to manage the material on FB and Flickr, so changes on iPhoto are synced to FB...

  • How do I change between iPhoto Libraries when I am importing pics to another website?

    When I import pics to my website I click on Import photos and the standard apple screen (Firefox Edit  in menu bar) comes up so I click on Pictures, then iPhoto, then Events and choose the individual photos, but  only the one library shows there.  I do know how to change between the libraries when opening the iphoto library by using the options tab, but that does not work in this instance?
    ilife 11, OSX 10.6.8.

    Correct - that is not how you access your photos
    You use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto
    See this user tip for complete details on accessing your photos correctly

  • Moving Photos Between iPhoto Libraries

    I have established a second iPhoto library but an not clear on how to move photos from the original library to the second library. Seems it should be simple - from the original library I highlight the photos to be exported to the second library, then click "export", but the export to the second library doesn't happen. Also, while in the second library I tried to import the highlighted photos from the original library, but that didn't work either. I have iPhoto 6.0.6 Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    HDP

    HDP,
    You cannot export directly into another iPhoto Library folder, because all files must be imported in order to be recognized by the database. Don't ever try to manipulate your files directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Importing photos from one library into another will get you the photos, but strip them of their albums and other library metadata.
    The only way to move photos between libraries and preserve albums, keywords, and other metadata is to use iPhoto Library Manager. It will save you a lot of work.
    Regards.

  • How to import Facebook albums to iPhoto '11

    Hi,
    I have iPhoto '11 installed on my MacBook white (mid 2010) with Lion. I connecyed iPhoto to my facebook account and I used it several times to upload new photos to Fb. This time I've imported 2 albums of photos to Fb from another computer and I'd like to import them to iPhoto on my Mac. I've tried accessing to Fb through iPhoto and I can see all my albums (even the ones I want to import) but there isn't any option that allows me to do that...at least none that I can see!
    Is there anyone who can help me?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

    How many orders do you need to import one photo?
    Perhaps you need to explain that again

  • Duplicate/Triplicate photos uploaded to Facebook albums from iphoto

    When I upload photos from Iphoto to Facebook, the same photo is uploaded two or even three times, and I then have to delete the duplicate & triplicate photos. How can I prevent this from happening? Thank you very much!

    Give renewing your iPhoto preference file a shot -
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • How to copy an album in iPhoto 6 from one drive volume to another?

    I downloaded some photos into three albums in a drive volume which I later archived for various reasons. How do I import those albums to my primary drive volume with the same iPhoto 6 vers. 6.0.6?
    Is it as easy as:
    File/ Import to Library/ Archive drive-volume/ Users/ Shared/ Pictures/
    iPhoto Library/ Originals/ folder year/ Roll#. Select photos to import.
    I've not done this before and would hate to run into some "potholes" and unintended consequences.
    Thanks.

    I downloaded some photos into three albums
    Are you talking about albums or rolls? They are vastly different. The rest of your post sounds like you want to transfer photos from rolls not albums
    Basically the safe and correct way is to open the library in iPhoto (if it is not the current library launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the select library option and export the photos then switch back to the other library and import them
    But depending on what you really mean and what you really want to do it may be different

  • Transferring projects (calendars, photo books, etc.) between iPhoto libraries

    No it's not.

  • Transferring a custom slideshow between iPhoto libraries

    Is there a way to transfer a custom iPhoto slideshow from one iPhoto library to another. The only way I see is copying the whole library and then deleting everything except the slideshow itself. That is not only a very time consuming process, it doesn't allow to incorporate the slideshow into an exiting iPhoto library as well.
    Any tips welcome.
    Peter

    Peter
    Is there a way to transfer a custom iPhoto slideshow from one iPhoto library to another.
    The straight answer is, I'm afraid, no.
    What you can do is export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie, but that won't be editable in the other iPhoto.
    Other apps that have slideshow capability and iPhoto integration include PhotoToMovie and PhotoPresenter .
    There are others, search on MacUpdate
