IPhoto '09 reverse Facebook syncing

Hello, I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I've read through countless discussions on here searching for an answer but to no avail.
I've imported photos into iPhoto so they sit in Events. From those, I've created a Facebook album to which I add one photo a day (365 project).
A couple of weeks ago I moved house and lost the internet at home until now. In the meantime, to keep people in the loop I've been uploading pictures direct to the Facebook album using Facebook's own online uploader.
Now that I've got the internet at home I would like to go back to using iPhoto for uploads and was pondering how it would deal with the photos I've uploaded externally. It's done something I wasn't expecting though.
iPhoto seems to have synced information from Facebook but not the photos, it appears to be aware that there should be pictures there but I'm guessing it doesn't know where to reference them in Events. All I have is a series of placeholders (see image)
I've already imported the photos into my iPhoto library but haven't added them to the Facebook album. I tried a quick test by adding a photo that's already on Facebook into the album hoping that the metadata would match and replace the placeholder, alas, it merely uploaded the file to Facebook meaning I had a duplicate.
Is there a way I can give iPhoto the reference point it needs to locate the Facebook photos on my machine? I'd rather not have to remove the photos from Facebook and then add them again as this would remove comments on Facebook.

Same problem with same iPhoto version and Safari 5.1.5

Iphoto 11 Problems with Facebook-sync ?

Hi there from Austria,
a few months ago i installed Iphoto 11 and soon after that problems with my machine (Macbook alu, 13,3 late 2008, 2 Ghz C2D) arose.
Iphoto became very slow, also overall performance on my machine degraded. For example browsing the "programs"-folder resulted in spinning ball of death which lasted around 10 seconds...
I couldn't find out what went wrong, after reading some forums about Iphoto 11 I decided to apply some tips
1) set thumbnail size in all albums to predefined size "3"
2) i removed ALL facebook-synced albums from Iphoto11
After those steps Iphoto runs a lot faster and the "programs"-folder behaves like it should.
Anyone with a similar experience ? Anyone could explain what happened there ?
Regards
Uli

Suggests the main library is damaged.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

IPhoto interacting with Facebook Albums...

I just reorganized all of my facebook photos into new albums. I wanted to upload some more photos directly from iPhoto but it is NOT recognizing any of my new albums. How do I get it to bring in the names of these new albums so I can use them properly? Is it some kind of re-booting I need to do?? Preferences??
Thank you...

That is not the way it works
You can not "link" iPhoto to existing Facebook albums - you create them in iPhoto and then there is bi-directional syncing between that album in facebook and iPhoto. If you create albums in Facebook you can not manage them from iPhoto - only albums created in iPhoto

Facebook sync NIGHTMARES!!!!

I have recently discovered iphoto's capability of syncing with facebook. (or should i say incapabilities, lol)
I have 2 major issues with Faces/Tags and Syncing in general.
Faces/Tag Issue:
I have used the Facebook App on my iphone to sync my Friends with my Contacts( which is synced with the contacts on my computer). I have spent time to add Faces to a majority of my photos in iphone, however they are not translated to Facebook tags. The Names of people on the tags are correct, they are just not linked to their facebook name. This is weird since Facebook has already synced with my contacts on my iphone (adding the images and facebook page addresses to my contacts).
Syncing Issue:
Anytime I try to edit or add new photos to the facebook albums, it doesn't sync to facebook. It either freezes during the sync, or it finishes but doesn't actually add photos to facebook. I will also have to Force quit iPhoto anytime this happens. At rare occurrences, iPhoto will sync to facebook to add the new photos, but it loses all of my facebook tags (even if the photos had 'Faces" marked from iPhoto)
I have tried deleting the preference files on these, but still having the issue. How can i fix this?

The iPhoto/Facebook name link is via the person's facebook e-mail address not their name - make sure that each one you want to show in Facebook has their facebook e-mail address included (faces page clic on the "i" and turn the entry over and check/enter their identification info

Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random.

Hi Guys and Girls,
My Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random. Who else is having this annoying issue?
Cheers,
Keegan

Do not use the iPhoto - Facebook link - as advertised changes on either side are automatically synced to the other - that is the way it works
If you do not want the features that iPhoto offers then upload directly form a web browser or other method

IPhoto 9.6/Facebook 25 photo limit

Since I've updated to Yosemite, my iPhoto will only display the first 25 photos of any synced Facebook album.
I've tried logging out and back into Facebook, rebuilding the iPhoto database, and of course searching this place for an answer. The closet help I could find was that there was an issue with iPhoto, but the update to v9.4 2 years ago solved the issue for most people.
Also, it's showing my December 2013 photostream as a "recent" and there's no way to get rid of that. Changing the setting isn't doing it.
Running '13 Macbook Air w/ OS 10.10

Uugh, same.
Just opened iPhoto 9.6 on my shiny new iMac retina, only to have it lay waste to two carefully curated 200 photo albums. They still seem to be showing on Facebook but have cut right back to 25 photos on the iPhoto version and de-synced with Facebook comments etc. I'm too scared to click on any of the other albums in case they meet a similar fate.
This really needs to be fixed soon, especially if its a repeat of a flaw from a version two years ago.

How do i post photos from iphoto to a facebook group instead of my own page?

I know how to post photos from Iphoto to my Facebook page, but cannot find a "simple" way to post photos in Iphoto to a Facebook "group" of which I am a member.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There isn't a way.
You'll need to use another method.

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

IPhoto/ATV Slide Show Sync

What do I need to do to have ATV coordinate music and pics as they are on the original iPhoto slideshow?
I created a slideshow with music in iPhoto 08. I synced to my ATV but when it is played, the music does not "fit slideshow to music" the way it does on iPhoto playback. In fact, none of the settings besides the choice of music and pics seems to carry over. I have removed and re-synced the show but pics continue to change much faster, then are repeated until music selection ends.

Although well intended, I fear you've been misinformed.
Please explain this.
What you must realise is that you are no longer syncing a photo to atv,
you're syncing a movie (slideshow) and as such that has to sync from iTunes.
One can always export a slide show as a movie, that is correct, but it isn't the only option and wasn't what the OP was asking about. One can indeed sync slideshows from iphoto (not itunes) without having to export as a movie.

How do I share a an iphoto slideshow on facebook. Have shared photos but it's not letting me share my slideshow.

How do I share an iphoto slideshow on facebook?

I believe I explained how to share on Facebook above. I don't believe that YouTube has the ability to "suck" anything, though sometimes Users upload to the wrong site. As to the music, I would simply point out that broadcasting music purchased from iTunes on the internet exceeds the licence you have. I would expect that this may cause Facebook to reject your project, but good luck with it.

I have ca. 16000 pictures on iPhoto and since I sync'ed with my iPhone , I have ca. 16000 pictures on iPhoto and since I sync'ed with my iPhone

I have ca. 16000 pictures on iPhoto and since I sync'ed my MacBook Air with my iPhone and iPad I seem to be running out of space. Even deleting photos has only helped temporarily. In an older iPhoto version I was able to delete the conversions for the iPhone and iPad but that doesnt seem to be possible with Mountian Lion.

My free space is currently ca. 1.6 GB and that seems to be the reason my Mac is now very slow.
You have a major problem and you need to fix it fast.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

With the new Iphone update, how do you avoid Facebook syncing your friends into your contacts?

With the new Iphone update, how do you avoid Facebook syncing your friends list with your contacts??

The iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will erase the current content from the iphone and repalce with content from the new computer.

Facebook Sync doesn't work

First, English is not my native language, so please excuse any mistakes.
I don't know if my problem is specific to OS X Mavericks, as I never used Facebook in Mountain Lion.
I wanted to use the Facebook sync for Contacts and Calendar, so I added my Facebook account into OS X accounts. I entered the email address that I use for Facebook and my password.
Whenever one of my Facebook friends posts something, I get a notificcation in the Notification center. So I thought everything was fine.
But the sync for Contacts and Calendar doesn't seem to work.
When I open Contacts, in the Facebook group, only my card shows up. There are no cards for my friends. When I open console, I see this error message:
06.11.13 21:51:44,508 Contacts[906]: AOSKit WARN: Invalid url: https://MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS%[email protected]/15_DIGIT_NUMBER/
Also, throughout the day I see the following error message numerous times:
06.11.13 21:27:56,150 AddressBookSourceSync[891]: AOSKit WARN: Invalid url: https://MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS%[email protected]/15_DIGIT_NUMBER/
The same goes for the Calendar. None of my Facebook events show up in the Calendar. The following error shows up in Console:
06.11.13 16:42:09,371 CalendarAgent[181]: AOSKit WARN: Invalid url: https://MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS%[email protected]/15_DIGIT_NUMBER/
I can't really understand why this error is happening, because Facebook still works in the Notification Center.
Anyone else had this or a similar problem and know a solution? Thanks!

I just noticed the same thing today. On Mountain Lion I had the Facebook birthdays sync to my Calendar and have the same set up on Mavericks. However, this past weekend was a close friends birthday, who I am friends with on Facebook yet I never received the notification in Notification Center. I then looked at my Calendar and noticed it wasn't even on there. I looked in to it further and I am only syncing 25 contacts from Facebook in my Contacts app when I have over 500 friends. Looking in Console I saw the following error:
11/6/13 9:57:06.294 PM AddressBookSourceSync[2505]: AOSKit WARN: Invalid url: https://my email%[email protected]/9 digit number/
This may be a facebook server error causing this problem, but I find it strange that it is happening only after my clean install to Mavericks.

OIM AD reverse password sync from one AD instance to multiple OIM instances

Hi All,
I have a followind scenario. My client is having multiple offices across the globe. They have OIM installed and configured in each location in each country to manage there local applications. Client also has a Global LDAP which is common across all the offices worldwide.
My requirement is then i need to setup reverse password sync from Global LDAP to all the OIM sysem across the Globe. As per the reverse password sync connector i can only define one OIM system to sync the password.
Can you please suggest me some way to achieve this functionality? Is it possible to install more than one password sync connector and configure them with different OIM systems?
Thanks
Yogesh

I have one AD instance and n OIM instances. Can i install multiple AD-OIM passwordd sync components on the same AD machine and configure each component with various OIM's?
