Facebook albums in Screen savers

How to remove facebook albums from list of screen savers albums in Preferences...???

That's a feature, not a bug. Really.
It's been like that since 10.5 Leopard, if I recall. I use this feature all the time.
It's the same with the desktop.

  • Creating Screen Savers

    Can anyone tell me how to go about creating my own screen saver for MAC 0S 10.4? Do I need any special type of software to do this? What kind of files are the screen savers like "flurry". Please help.

    HI, Tim.
    Screen savers like Flurry are Quartz Compositions created with Quartz Composer. This Google search will provide you with links to a variety of Web pages discussing Quartz Composer and using it to create screen savers.
    You can use your own pictures as a screen saver: see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Using your own pictures as a screen saver."
    If you use iPhoto, you can make an album or a selection of photos your screen saver: see "iPhoto 6.0 Help: Making an album your screen saver."
    Good luck!

  • Screen savers failing one by one

    I usually use the "word of the day" screen saver. It worked great. Then the other day I found it would just come up blank. Just a black screen. Everything else worked as expected - I could move the mouse or hit a key to dismiss the screen saver, launch it by moving the mouse to one of the hot corners, etc.
    So I switched to the iTunes album art screen saver. That worked great for a week or so. Now it claims I don't have any artwork. But I go to iTunes and there's all my album art. And iTunes is working great.
    So I have two questions: 1) What screen saver should I break next? 2) I'd really like to have one of the old screen savers back. How do I make them work again?
    Thanks for your help.

    The plot thickens as now my iPod Touch 3G is doing the same thing. Other area networks appear but neither of our home networks do. I've found many references to this phenomenon online but no fixes. I've now tried turning off all security. None of our networks have ever been closed. We're really desperate for help here. Thank you for your kind consideration.

  • Facebook albums missing after upgrade to iPhoto '11

    I installed iPhoto '11 on my wife's iMac. She had probably 30 or more Facebook albums that showed up on the left side of the screen in iPhoto '09. After the upgrade there is just one icon that shows she has an account but none of her previous albums appear below it.
    HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Now whenever she tries to upload photos to Facebook a message appears in iPhoto and asks to delete her albums off of Facebook. One message per album that formerly appeared in iPhoto '09. We accidentally deleted a few albums before I realized that it actually removes them from her Facebook page.
    I can't find this problem in any other thread. Help! What can we do?

    OK, I have had some success with resolving this particular problem.
    *Step 1:* I quit out of iPhoto 11 and went to my FaceBook account. Under the Account tab, menu item account settings, you can change your password.
    *Step 2:* After changing your FaceBook password, open iPhoto 11. Click on the FaceBook icon. You will get an error message, just cancel out of it.
    *Step 3:* Delete every FaceBook album. (This may take a degree of faith ) Its not really deleting them from FaceBook as long as you are not connected to FaceBook from iPhoto.
    *Step 4:* Open iPhoto preferences go to accounts and click on your facebook account. Enter your new password. This will reconnect you to Facebook. Your FaceBook photo albums will rebuild and download to your iPhoto program. Life will be cool again
    This worked for me. Hopefully for you too.
    Additionally if you wanted to try to change your FaceBook password back again I don't see why that wouldn't work as well. The important thing is deleting the current albums displayed in iPhoto without being connected to FaceBook.

  • Remove screen savers

    I erroneously added jpg pictures to the Screen Saver application by right clicking them. I have removed all known copies from my hard drive - but they are still in the System Preferences screensaver application. I have looked, and the folder /Library/Screen Savers is empty, and I cannot find any other folders named "Screen Saver" or "Screensavers" on my HD. Where are they hiding, and how do I remove them?

    Thanks - but did not work. Removed com.apple.desktop.plist, logged out - and screensavers still in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen savers application. Also, while I think I saved the items by right-clicking on them, they never appeared on the Desktop (left) side of the Desktop & Screen Saver application (that is, the desktop side,) they only show on the Screen Saver side, the right side.
    that sounds very strange. there is no option to do that when you right-click on an image. are you sure you didn't do anything else? did you import those things in iphoto maybe? iphoto albums will all show up in as screensaver options. Open iphoto and delete those pictures from there.

  • When I search a music artist in the itunes store and then click to view all albums the screen is blank.

    When I search a music artist in the itunes store and then click to view all albums the screen is blank. Why is itunes store not showing me all of the Albums?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Any way to get iPhoto'09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?

    Is there any way to get iPhoto '09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?
    It would be nice to have all the previous albums I've uploaded to be listed in iPhoto and all the 100's of people I've already tagged would serve as a nice basis for the iPhoto face detection to learn who my friends are!

    This is an interesting workaround, but misses the spirit of the original post. I don't know a way to get iPhoto '09 to recognize existing FB albums, but I agree that this is a serious problem with iPhoto '09.
    The iPhoto '09 Facebook and Flickr uploaders have one "cool" feature - they automatically sync iPhotos events with FB "albums" or Flickr "sets", so if you make changes to the photos in iPhoto, then those changes are reflected in the photos on FB and Flickr automagically (this has been working for me in FB but not in Flickr). The more I use this the more I think it's more trouble than it is useful and I wish I could turn it off and just use the old exporters without syncing.
    There are problems with the exporters:
    (1) the constant syncing with FB/Flickr can get annoying if you're making several changes, if you have a slow internet connection or slow computer.
    (2) If you don't actually want the changes to be reflected in the FB/Flickr album (i.e. i delete photos out of iPhoto to make room on my disk for more photos and now the photos are deleted out of facebook) can get not as user friendly as the original Facebook and Flickr exporter was easier and more user-friendly.
    (3) syncing is cool for a computer programmer to do, but what if users don't want it all the time? What if I don't want my Facebook albums to be exactly the same as my iPhoto albums, and I don't want to split out all the photos that I don't want on Facebook into separate events in iPhoto? This lack of support for the truly useful & user friendly (if a bit boring) features is a really unfortunate oversight.
    (3a) in the old version: i can quickly and easily choose exactly which photos from which events I want to upload to FB.
    (3b) as the original questioner mentioned: I can choose whether to upload to into a *new or existing album*. Hands down, this was *the single best feature* of the previous uploaders.
    (in Flickr this is of paramount importance since the free Flickr account only allows 3 "sets" - so, since this fancy iPhoto syncing links your events to sets in Flickr, you'd have to create 3 massive Flickr-only events in iPhoto in order to stay within their restrictions. I like to keep my iPhotos events separate, but I'm perfectly happy uploading photos from different events into one of my three Flickr sets. i'm pretty sure i can still do this with FFXporter or similar.)
    (3b) in the old version: all the photos i upload are put into a "pending" album on FB so that I can tag people, delete some photos (without deleting them off my own iPhoto), etc. before sharing them with all my friends. I'd like to have at least the option to choose whether they go into a pending album first or not.
    (3c) it's further annoying that you cannot browse your iPhoto library directly (from most websites) when searching for photos to upload, you have to export the files first, then browse to where the photos were exported.

  • Contextual Share to Facebook Album - Limited Albums Listed

    Using 10.8.2, I am attempting to share several photos to existing albums in Facebook. When I select the photos and pick the Share to Facebook via option-click, I only see a few of my Facebook albums. Why are only a few (not all) listed? How can I make all of them appear?

    I dislike that Aperture creates its own album on Facebook, where it posts your "Wall" photos. Ordinarily wall photos on Facebook are not part of a particular album, and if you uploaded several in a short period of time, they would appear as separate posts, and not as an album update. But if you do it from Aperture, they are grouped together as an album update, which  can ruin the effect. I haven't found a workaround except to export to your desktop (or other folder) and manually upload to the FB wall.

  • Facebook albums not showing all photos in iPhoto

    I'm trying to export all of the photos (several hundred) from Facebook to iPhoto. Facebook is having difficulty creating an archive, and rather than wait for them to fix whatever that problem is I'm trying to import them directly using the Facebook connector in iPhoto.
    I added the account and it shows up in the list of Web albums. However, when the account is opened, only three albums are present (instead of six) with a total of five photos (instead of hundreds). Does anyone have any suggestions for what to check to make sure that iPhoto is connecting properly and how to get the photos from Facebook imported into iPhoto?
    Please don't suggest downloading each photo individually, I don't have time to right click several hundred photos one at a time.

    The only Facebook albums that will appear in iPhoto will be manually created ones. Auto-created albums by other apps or Facebook itself (Instagram, Mobile Uploads, Wall Album, etc) won't appear. Are those the ones missing?

    Don't change the iPhoto album in the facebook section of the source pane - any changes made to those albums will be synced to Facebook

  • Tagging Facebook albums created in Aperture not working

    I'm trying to publish a Facebook album from within Aperture (3.6), and am having trouble getting the tags to stick in Facebook. When I go visit the album on Facebook, the tags are there, but not actually linked to the people. For example My friend John Doe, would be tagged in the photo in grey writing, but it is not a clickable link, and when I go to John's Facebook page, he hasn't been tagged in it.
    I suspect the issue is related to this forum post: Facebook contacts not syncing
    When I go to John Doe's Faces entry, it shows the correct contacts entry.
    When I go to the contacts entry, it has his Facebook profile under the "Facebook" field, but there is no small F under his contact picture, and when I tell os X to update all profile pictures his does not get updated. Also, it seems that my Facebook syncing is not syncing all my Facebook friends, only a select few, who I suspect meet the criteria discussed in the above thread. So, what I suspect is happening, is that Aperture thinks that John's faces entry is connected to a Facebook account (possibly from some legacy link with contacts) but Facebook's new policy is making it so that John's contact is not being synced from Facebook to iCloud.
    I can't figure out a way to manually link his contact card to his Facebook account. Entering his Facebook homepage web address does nothing as far as I can tell.
    Any help would be appreciated. It ***** spending all the time tagging faces in aperture and then having to re-do it in Facebook.

    It shows for me within a minute.  I don't have Facebook enabled.  I would:
    - reboot and see if that forces the tieing of any loose ends, and thus allows this feature to work
    - maybe try it on a new Library, or a Library used in another User Account on your machine
    - see if someone who does use Facebook tries the feature and reports on whether it works
    I'm confident Library size/number of Images is not part of the issue, unless you have several thousand named Faces.
    Just to make sure we are "on the same page":  you go to Contacts, select a contact, double-click the picture assigned to that contact, and never see "Faces" in this dialog:

  • Galleries Merge when updating Facebook album with tags.

    The problem that I have is that when i try to update a facebook album with the faces I have reconized and have them with there email account so facebook can auto tag them they merge diferente faces galleries. They are in teh same album but I really don't know why this happens.
    Someone else?

    I have this exact same problem and it is very difficult to find something. This thread and one in macrumors is the only thing I have found with no anwers yet.
    I thought it was an iPhoto 09 problem, and so I called customer service, but they told me it was more a facebook problem than an Apple one. This is in fact true, and to prove it I did the following:
    Using the same computer, the same iPhoto 09, I uploaded the same photos to my wife's account and my own account. This was done separately and just for test reasons. With my wife's account, there was no problem at all, all tags done nicely, everything perfect. With my account though, I got multiple tags for the same person in a single picture. Even worse, everytime I start iPhoto my photos were re-tagged so I ended up with several dozens of tags.
    Then I checked and everything in the facebook account settings was exactly the same for both accounts. The only difference between the two is that mine was created two days ago, while my wife's been there for two years.
    So I created a new account for my daughter, again just for test reasons, and my daughter's has the same issue of multiple tags for a single face.
    This made me conclude the Apple representative was really honest when he says it's a facebook problem. But I beg you that if you find any solution, please post it anywhere here. This is driving me nuts.
    Best regards

  • Importing pics from a friend's Facebook album - poor resolution

    I am making a photo book in iPhoto and am saving pictures from a Facebook albums ... but resolution is too poor to use. Any suggestions??

    Only one. Don't use photos from facebook albums. When a pic is uploaded to Facebook it is "processed", which means almost all the metadata is stripped away and it is heavily compressed. Simply, they are such poor quality that they won't print well.

    You change the background and screen savers in the System Preferences Desktop & Screen Saver preference panes. Just click System Preferences in your dock.
    In order to view your pictures in Front Row, you need to import them all to iPhoto.

  • How to load my pictures as screen savers

    please forgive my ignorance but I totally do not understand what this cloud or iCloud is but i understand one must use it t o load one's own pictures onto Apple TV to use as screen savers.

    You would need to upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks and purchase iPhoto '11 from the Mac App store (unless you already have it).  Then you would have to create an iCloud account on your Mac by going to System Preferences>iCloud and signing in with your Apple ID, then check Photos.  Then you can add your photos to your photo stream using iPhoto as explained here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.5/#pht7aaade98.  Once the photos are added to your photo stream, you can sign into your iCloud account on your Apple TV (in Settings>iCloud) and be able to access your photo stream photos for your screen saver (in Settings>Screen Saver>Photos>iCloud Photos>My Photo Stream).
    You might also want to consider waiting until OS X Yosemite is released later this year.  It will include a new built-in Photos app and iCloud will include a new iCloud Photo Library feature (see https://www.apple.com/icloud/preview/).  These are likely to supersede the need to purchase and use iPhoto to accomplish this.
