Lightroom 5 upload to Flickr Broken

The ability to upload directly to Flickr from Lightroom for Mac seems to be broken. Flickr says the problem is with Lightroom. The problem occurs when trying to republish a photo. This kicks up an error message that the filetype is wrong and this then blocks all further uploads.
See these discussions:
Flickr: The Help Forum: Flickr API returned an error message (function upload, message Filetype was not recognised)

Flickr: Discussing Lightroom has stopped uploading to flickr in Lightroom 3 and above: Flickr Publish Service

1. I don't know.
2. Maybe somebody else does.
3. If I were you, I'd try Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin. Why?
1. It may not have the same problem.
2. If it does, he'll be able to give you the straight scoop and/or fix it in a matter of hours or days, instead of weeks or months...

Lightroom 5.2\5.3 crashing after two uploads to flickr

Hi all,
After getting a bit of a nagging from the in laws I got round to cataloguing the last few months photos to upload the pics of the kids.
When I go to upload to flickr it will publish two images then crash and the cycle repeats - having a few hundreds to upload there is no way on earth I'm going to babysit Lightroom while it does this.
I'm using jFlickr and have the most up to date version - although I was reluctant to mention this as I half suspect my issue will now be shelved using this as a get out - but frankly Adobe's offering is poor and presumes you've just started with Flickr.
The OS is Windows 8.1 64bit - LR 5.3 (same results on 5.1 and 5.2)
From the event logs I have the following errors:
Faulting process ID: 0x1b04
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf1b6ba0c459e7
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.2\lightroom.exe

Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.2\lightroom.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.2\CameraRaw.dll
It them repeats through one of these three for each failure.
Thanks for reading and I hope someone out there has found a solution.

Any ideas anyone?
Jeff suggested checking the integrity or a re-install - I have completely rebuilt the PC - so clean install plus totally up to date versions - I also check integrity when I backup and it always passes, in addition I cleared the prefs file (again Jeff's idea) but it still crashes, but only with his plugin.
Is there a way to rebuild the catalogue without loosing the settings?
Could it be because I recently converted to DNG?

Lightroom: The upload to flickr service is not working correctly anymore

Hi!
i have the newest version of 5.2 installed.
i have some automated virtual folders for uploading to flickr.
in former times, when i changed one of the pictures and pressed "publish", the pictures which were already online have been deleted and uploaded again (replaced).
now i have a lot of dublicates on flickr.
is there already a fix, or is this problem known?
thanks & best regards

Lightroom 3 and Flickr

Hi, Looking at lightroom at the moment and have had a play with the demo version.
I am very interested in its FLICKR cabilities and suspect unfortunelty it doesn't go far enough.
At the moment I convert files to 100k and add a watermark using Photoshops element for muliple images, Then FLICKR Uploader which allows me to add a standard description, create the set and add a set description, plus add the tags.
Looking at Lightroom 3 I can only at the moment see it doing everying but the upload to flickr. I will still have to use the FLICKR uploader to achieve the titling I do on multiple images (400+) at a time. FLICKR itself does not have a batch tool for giving the same description to mutiple images.
It would be great to miss out the FLICKR uploader as of late its become very unreliable with having to do batchs of a 100 at a time overwise it falls over.
If anyone knows of a way that the upload I require can be achieved from lightroom in the way I require to FLICKR please advise as it would simplify my work flow.
Thanks

Greg,
You’ve clearly used Friedl’s plugin so you must be pretty familiar with the process and concepts, so I’m not sure exactly what you are asking.     So here are a few more random thoughts….
I’m assuming you can setup an Adobe Flickr publishing service and authorise it OK, it’s a similar process to Friedl’s.
Once done you can right click the publish service and either “Create Photo Set …” or “Create Smart Photo Set …”.     These work the same way as Collections and Smart Collections but the contents of these sets are sent up to Flickr as a set with the same name as the Photo Set or Smart Photo Set in Lightroom.    I seem to recall one of the things I found less obvious with Friedl’s is that the name of the Collection shown in the Lightroom Published Services tree was not necessarily the same as that at the Flickr end.   It is specified independently – I think for me, although minor, it is unnecessary complexity.
Once a publish set has been setup and contains photos you simply just need to press the publish button. On Friedl’s I recall that it is slightly more complex to setup because you have to create the set at Flickr first using Friedl’s dialog, do a refresh of the dialog and then you can publish.    For me, although minor, it is unnecessary complexity.
Smart Photosets v’s PhotoSet….
Everyone has their own workflow, but one of the things I wanted to achieve was subdivision of my published photos into different published sets based on keywords.    I also wanted it to be very obvious when browsing my library what I have published.    To do this I have created a hierarchical keyword structure and adopted the principle that a photo must be labelled purple in order to get published.
So my Smart Collection “Wildlife” within my Flickr Publish service would say something like … include anything which contains the keyword Wildlife and is Labelled purple.     For me my Wildlife keyword is hierarchically decomposed into Bird … Raptor … and so on down i.e. a keyword tree.
I use Blue labelling to control things going into my Private published sets – higher quality stuff I want slightly more secure or friends and family stuff.    The other label colours I use during development.
Of course Friedl’s plugin can do all this too… and if you are the kind of person that wants to indiscriminately blast your published content into a variety of public Flickr groups then this is a major additional capability of Friedl’s.     I do put into other groups occasionally, but this “send everything” approach was not for me.
In summary – for me the Adobe Service does enough and is simpler to drive… for someone new to it I would suggest experimenting with the simpler out of the box Adobe service and then move to Friedl when they understand it and know they need more.
I have probably just said a load of stuff you already know, I apologise if this is the case.
Alan.
PS – If new to Smart Collections or Smart Photo sets then watch out for the silly design of the dialog box to define them … to enable more advance logic in the definition dialog box you need to hold down the ALT key (on a PC – not sure about Mac).    Very poor UI design considering the user interface is not real estate challenged here - IMHO
PPS – Just a reminder again … if you want descriptions on your sets … I’m not talking about the descriptions on the individual photos, then the Adobe Publish service is broken in this regard.

Upload to Flickr - edits not retained

When I've uploaded photos to Flickr or emailed for viewing on another computer the edits I've made in lightroom do not follow. Am I pulling the correct file or is there something I need to do to prep them for uploading?
Thanks!

Use export to mail for your emails. And for uploading to Flickr use the free plug-in from Jeffrey Friedl at http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/flickr/

Aperture 3.6 Uploads to Flickr only at 72 dpi, not 300 dpi. Why?

Yesterday I upgraded to the new retina iMac (Yosemite 10.10) and updated Aperture to 3.6. (Previous iMac had not been updated with Yosemite.)
With previous setup, I was uploading to Flickr albums at 300 dpi.
With new setup, photos upload at 72 dpi, including files that previously uploaded at 300 dpi.
I've tried Preferences > Export > External Editor File Format > 300 dpi.
I've also done Presets > Image Exports > changed all formats/sizes to 300 dpi.
FWIW, I can export from Aperture into Lightroom and upload to Flickr from there at 240 dpi.
My question:
What setting am I missing in Aperture 3.6 so that photos upload to Flickr albums at 300 dpi again?

You should look at this thread Problem with Aperture 3.6 preset exports.
Seems Aperture has changed something since 3.6 that might be causing what you are seeing. The way Aperture is setting the JFIF x and y density settings has changed and they do not reflect the true DPI set on the file.
Don;t know if Flickr looks at those, something to keep in mind.
regards
<edit>
FWIW, I can export from Aperture into Lightroom and upload to Flickr from there at 240 dpi.
did you change the dpi setting in Lightroom? You should look the the image in Preview BEFORE you import into Lightroom. Look at the JFIF settings. Then look again AFTER you export from Lightroom. Did the JFIF settings change?

Unknown protocol when uploading to flickr

I have been authorizing and using the upload to flickr for years, but now it comes back with
"Unknown protocol "
when I try to Authorize it and this is the same in Chrome, Firefox, Internet explore and Opera
Any help please, the only thing I think has changed in the 5.7 update in lightroom
Peter

At this time can you upload this file or any video file to Facebook without using Premiere Elements?
Do you have any of those videos that uploaded to Facebook successfully previously from Premiere Elements so that you can try uploading them again as part of troubleshooting the present issue?

Unable to upload to Flickr LR5.7

I'm on LR5.7 and have been using the Flickr publishing service happily for many years. Over the past few weeks, I'm getting the following error "Can't update this collection. Flickr API returned an error message (function upload message Filetype was not recognised)"
This makes it seem like it's on the Flickr side but it sure would be nice to have a fix. Also, maybe this is just a British thing (recognised)!

I don't think so - just following the same workflow I always have
1) Select raw images
2) place them in the album I want in Flickr in the Flickr module
3) Ask it to publish
I think it's usually converting to jpg as it uploads. In this particular case, it's only images, no video files.
Worked for a long time and suddenly, not working.
This is also being discussed in flickr forums (Flickr: Discussing Lightroom has stopped uploading to flickr in Lightroom 3 and above: Flickr Publish Service)

Can no longer upload to Flickr -- any ideas?

iPhoto 11 (9.1.3) no longer uploads to Flickr. I get all the way to "upload" and then it does nothing. Tried restarting both the program and the whole computer to no avail. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Oops, that's "publish" not upload.

Upload to Flickr

When I upload to Flickr from the organizer in Elements 12, the upload stops prior to completion- I have Windows 7 and a good high speed internet connection.
What to do?
Thanks

Hi,
Please try this:
Close Elements Organizer
Go to :%appdata% > Adobe > Online Services and delete Photoshop Elements 12.0.0 folder
Now relaunch EO and see if it works.
OR to make it easy:
In Organizer Go to Edit > Preferences > Adobe Partner Services > clear Online services Data Click OK
Relaunch EO
Thanks,

How can I get iPhoto 11 to include titles when uploading to Flickr

I am using iPhoto 11 and when I upload to Flickr, it will not include titles. I have tried using the share feature and the drag and drop feature and titles are not transferred to Flickr. Is there some way to get my titles in iPhoto to be included with my pictures when I upload to Flickr?

I did check with Flickr first and they said it was an iPhoto problem. Also, I did export the photos to a folder on the desktop with include titles checked, however, the result was not satisfactory. The titles included .jpg after each title and also the DSCN number showed and I had deleted that. The first time I uploaded an album to Flickr, it included the titles, but now, it does not do it. Thanks for your suggestions.

Is there a way to filter iPhoto photos by what's been uploaded to Flickr?

I want to know which photos in my iPhoto library have NOT been uploaded to Flickr. Is there a way to do this?

Is there a way I can stop
this ?
No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

Does Photos for OS X allow duplicate photo uploads to Flickr? It used to check in iPhoto.

Does Photos for OS X allow for duplicate uploads to Flickr? I liked the way iPhoto handled this better.
In iPhoto, if I uploaded a photo to Flickr, it wouldn't upload duplicates.
When I upload with Photos it will allow duplicate uploads. Is this a bug?
Thanks!
Jason

To date I have not found a solution. If I do I will update. Folks are trying to help though. I am trying these items from another thread this weekend. The first one seems to have helped a bit. I will update if I find something that works.
Here are the items I am trying (from Old Toad on this post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7001536)
I you have iPhoto 9.6.1 or can download it from then App Store I suggest you do the following before converting the library to Photos.
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option+Command keys held down and run the following First Aid routines:
     a. Option #1, Repair Library Permissions
     b. Option #2, Rebuild Thumbnails
     c. Option #4, Rebuild Database
This will "clean" up the library to help insure a good conversion. It might take a while to do those three routines but a clean conversion will make things go much better later on.

Can't choose picture size when uploading to Flickr

Hey there,
somehow I can't choose any bigger size than "Web" when uploading to Flickr, although the picture is far larger.
What's wrong?
Thank you.

Same problem with a 270k photo that is 2200 x 1700 jpeg. The Flickr FAQ states a 10MB photo limit for Free accounts and pictures are scaled down with the maximum of 1024 being the biggest for free accounts. The other two iPhoto Flickr options may be for Pro account. I hope not.
