Iphoto deletes my facebook albums

I'm having a serious issue with my iphoto program!
Whenever I use the tool in iphoto to 'share' an album from my iphoto to facebook, I click on share, facebook, new album... & automatically, a pop up appears saying that one of my facebook albums (a different one each time) has been removed from facebook & would I like to save the photos in an event on iphoto or just delete them!
This has lead to my having numerous of my facebook albums removed from my facebook. I never once manually deleted them or moved them, or did anything remotely similar; iphoto seems to be doing it all on its own & its extremely frustrating as when it removes my albums, i obviously loose all the data on facebook that goes with that album ie: comments, likes, etc...
PLEASE help!!!!

I thought this problem was solved, but it happened again to my wife tonight. It makes me 16 shades of purple MAD!!!  WHY is iPhoto deleting Facebook albums?! EVER?!? If I go and add or change an album in my browser, the next time iPhoto wakes up, it should DOWNLOAD and KEEP my albums as i left them on FB. Obviously, FB is always the most current version I want.

  • 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

  • IPhoto 11 trying to delete my facebook albums?

    This is quite odd, but I just tried to publish a new photo album on Facebook via iPhoto 11. When I selected "publish a new album" it displayed a message saying that album X , Y, Z, etc., will be deleted.
    Is there some way around this? Pretty strange :s
    The even odder thing is that I still have the albums on my iPhoto album

    Same thing happened to me too starting today. No new settings or anything. Spontaneously started to delete albums. Weird.
    Here is the work-around that worked for me (for now anyway). I opened iPhoto preferences and deleted my facebook account- a warning came up that all facebook albums would be deleted from my application (not fb itself). Why not? I reopened iPhoto, I then went to 'share' another album with fb, the app asked fb account info and after a few minutes (during which the album did not upload) the app went back to the main iPhoto album page. I tried to upload the fotos again, this time all my regular fb albums reappeared in iPhoto and the current album uploaded without any problem. We shall see if this occurs again.
    Good luck!

  • IPhoto won't let me delete my facebook albums

    I have recently deleted both of my facebook user accounts, but the "facebook albums" I created in iPhoto are still there. How do I delete them? I have tried selecting them and pressing the delete key on my laptop, and I have tried selecting them while depressing Option, or Command, or Control or Shift. If the delete option pops up at all, its grayed out/not selectable. I am using a MacBook Pro. Can anyone help me?

    Greetings,
    What version of iPhoto are you running? (iPhoto > About iPhoto)

  • IOS X Yosemite, iPhoto 9.6, Facebook albums with more than 25 pictures

    I have linked my Facebook albums to iPhoto. I started using iOS X Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6 a couple of days ago. Now when I select in iPhoto any Facebook album with more than 25 pictures, it automatically removes all pictures after the 25th picture. However, the pictures remain in Facebook but I want to view them in iPhoto. How can I retrieve them?

    The latest iOS (10.10.2) and iPhoto (9.6.1) solved this problem. Thanks to Apple for informing me by phone!

  • Does iphoto automatically download facebook albums?

    *** you can skip the next paragraph***
    I've been scanning, sorting and uploading family photos over the past few days and I'm finding iPhoto's integration with various web services ennerving.
    First, hundreds of megabytes of photos started uploading to photostream, seemingly at full quality, I stopped the process after about 300MB had been uploaded. The behaviour of uploading full quality photos to Photostream is ********! Some of the photos were about 10MB each...
    Anyway I found the setting for that and disabled it, it's in the PhotoStream preference tab.
    Now I noticed that after uploading an album to Facebook with the share feature, iPhoto didn't want to let me change anything locally without changing it on Facebook too. So some photos that were mainly of friends of the family, that I wanted to delete locally, because it's no one I really care about, but keep on facebook, but iPhoto wanted to remove them from Facebook too! And the opposite problem, some photos (rare) are somewhat inapropriate for Facebook, whether it being me naked at 1 year old or throwing up all over the place (examples, not necessarily my situation), but I can't choose to omit any photos from my albums for sharing on facebook either, it wants the whole album or nothing at all. What the ****.
    Now I thought I was being smart by exporting a bunch of photos to file and manually uploading them to facebook, thus avoiding all these sync. problems I just described. But as soon as the album was manually uploaded, iPhoto decides to download all those photos from Facebook to synchronize my computer to facebook 100%. What the f#&^?! That's exactly what I wanted to get around. And now I have duplicates of a 100+ photo album and my only option is to revert to sharing it from iPhoto, thus uploading all the **** photos again and losing all control.
    Is there any way around this? I suppose I could just disconnect facebook from my iPhoto...

    When I use iPhoto for iOS to share to Facebook I first get a chance to share one photo or select several.
    Then I see a choice to upload to an album, usually Wall Photos, but there in only that one album visible.
    Tap on that album and more choices come up. These include, eventually, all of my albums. I can then choose the album to which I want to upload the photo(s).

  • Aperture deleted several Facebook albums during the sync process--what can I do?

    After I enabled the sync between Facebook and Apeture---the program began downloading albums and "republishing" them to Facebook. However, it wasn't able to download all of my albums which resulted in the app from being able to "publish" them back to Facebook. The albums are now lost. Never experienced this problem with Picasa. Only began when I started using Aperture.

    Same issue here.  Lost every photo in eight albums!  It's trully a travesty since these were the only copies I had of these pictures and was precisely the reason I was trying to sync to Aperture!
    And before I get scolded for not having backups, I did (Macbook, iPad, TimeMachine). Due to a series of unfortunate events, however, they were lost as well.
    Keep backups and download your FB data often!

  • Is there anyway to recover Facebook albums deleted in iPhoto?

    Here's my problem. I was sorting through a bunch of pictures in iPhoto. I deleted the facebook albums in iPhoto, not realizing it would delete them off facebook. Is there any way to recover these albums so that they go back on facebook? Preferably with any comments people left on facebook intact? Thanks.

    i have got the same problem only thing is the albums were never on my macbook just the album covers.
    basically my g/f used my macbook pro and found a picture in iphoto she wanted and uploaded it from iphoto so linked her account to my iphoto. i was doing a bit of cleaning up and thought id just remove the link. well it turns out its deleated all the facebook albums on her profile. ive got time machine back ups but its only got one photo from each album in it.
    can anyone please help.

  • 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.

  • Iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Will my Facebook albums remain?

    I just upgraded my computer to yosemite and that includes the iPhoto application.
    After opening iPhoto it says "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." I'm worried that if I chose to upgrade I will 1. lose all my photos and 2. have my synced facebok albums taken off Facebook.
    One time I moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and lost all my Facebook album photos so I don't want to make the same mistake.
    So does anyone know if I chose to go through with this upgrade will I lose my photos in the iPhoto and the synced albums on Facebook? If I do lose photos, how do I go recover my previous iPhoto version?

    Just to confirm. When I saved a copy of my iPhoto library on my external harddrive that's "backing-up" right?
    Also, is there anyway on Facebook to tell which albums are synced with my iPhoto so that I know which ones will be gone if something does go wrong?
    Sorry one more question Larry. I keep reading issues people are having with upgrading their iPhoto to 9.6 and the upgraded iPhoto does not recognize their library (see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6676471). If this happens to me and I have to repair or re-install my iPhoto will my Facebook albums be affected?
    Thanks for your help Larry I appreciate it

  • I have a big problem. iphoto started deleting albums from my facebook. How can I stop it from deleting my fb albums?  Why is it doing this?

    I uploaded a few photos from a memory card and went on iphoto to crop a few. When I finished a message box popped up stating Your album titled " ____"  was deleted from facebook.  The photos are still in your iphoto library. The only choice that you have is OK.  I did a option command escape and forced quit out of iphotos. I thought this might stop the fb album from being deleted...but it didnt!  The album was deleted from my facebook page!  The next time that I opened iphoto a message box popped up and again another facebook album was deleted.  I am now afraid to open iphoto!  How do I make this stop?  Note; I do have a lot of photos on my macbook pro and they are all backed up on an external drive. I like keeping the pictures on my mac but if it comes down to it I would rather delete files from my laptop than lose them on fb. HELP!!!!

  • IPhoto deleted facebook albums also deleted iPhoto albums.

    I hope someone can help me out.
    I started up iPhoto after deleting a lot of pictures from Facebook. It stated something like do you want to import the pictures from facebook albums? I was like no because they are already on my iMac but not it seems they are gone.
    Is there any way to fix this? I have a time machine back-up but it happened about a month ago.
    Thank you in advance.

    As documented iPhoto syncs with FB so changes made to photos uploaded from IP to FB in either place are reflected in the other - deleting from FB also deletes from that album in iPhoto

  • Facebook Albums have been deleted, yet still in iphoto - can I get them back on Facebook?

    Something has happened on my Facebook account, and all my albums are missing (70+ albums)
    However, on iPhoto - All of the Facebook albums still show up under the WEB section.
    This would be ok, BUT, when i click onto an album a message comes up saying "Facebook album 'Holiday' has been deleted from Facebook, it will now be deleted from iPhoto" the only option is to click OK, or to force quit.
    Is there a way to re-sync the albums back onto Facebook?
    I know there are lots of forums on syncing the other way - from Facebook to iPhoto, but this question concerns syncing from iPhoto back up to Facebook...

    exact same problem. I was doing a big clean up on my hard drive. and the FB section kept turning and turning. then I started to realize it is dumping my albums on FB!!
    The weird thing is I've been synching albums to FB for years and never had this problem when I delete albums form iPhoto last year. I think this is the first time I have this problem. ie, there are albums that I have deleted on iphoto before and theya re still on FB now, I wonder if  it is an iPhoto 11 problem.
    grrrrr.. seems like Apple have given up on this one. so much for convenient synching. no more iPhoto I guess. maybe someone can recommend a Mac photo app that will treat ppl a bit nicer than iPhoto.

  • I am opening my iphoto one day and it says 'your facebook album cover photos has been deleted from facebook?

    Iphoto then prompts me if I want the deleted photos in my library otherwise it'll be moved to iphoto trash. Though my cover photos are still intact on facebook. All other albums are synced correctly in web pane of iphoto. Now i want my cover photos album back synced in iphoto as i upload photos in it.
    Any Help will be appreciated, Thanks.!!

    Are they in last import?
    For the future do not ever have any program including iPhoto delete your photos - wait until at least one successful backup cycle has occurred and then use your camera's format command to reformat and erase the card
    Try the rebuild again - if it is not successful and they are not in last import then you will need recovery software like Media REcover

  • Iphoto 9.4.2 states facebook album has been deleted

    When I try to upload fotos to Facebook the upload stops/crashes and then I receive a message stating that some random facebook album has been deleted. hen I check the photos remain but the upload is now stopped and I must redo.
    Is there a fix?

    Thanks LN.
    I tried.  It would not download.  A drop down notice said an error had occurred and to return to the purchase page; which I have done on numerous occasions.  (What I am to do on the purchase page I am not sure, other than to click on purchases and see that the same iPhoto download is available.  By the way, this was not purchased.  It just showed up with two other items free items, which did download nicely.)
