Syncing faces with facebook tags

Hi,
I have a library of photos that I have gone through and organised with the faces feature. I have linked my facebook account with iPhoto and have selected the relevant facebook profile for each face instead of the profile from my contacts. Regardless of what I seem to do, however, I can't make these tags show up on facebook when I upload an album. What I mean is when I upload an album, the correct name appears as a tag on the photo however it is not linked to the appropriate profile (its just grey text as oppose to a link). I have tried everything concievable including adding facebook emails to the faces info tab but nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I've the same problem (and we aren't alone - see the other question), I rellay think it is an Aperture bug I sent all night yesterday trying to save my faces (I cannot retag 8000 photos).
There is no way to stop tagging the pictures in facebook...
To save your faces db:
Go to prefereces-> web and delete the facebook account and then empty the trash...
You will save your faces.
Then you can recreate the facebook account without opening the albums (if you don't open the photo are not downloaded and so you avoid the tagging); in that way you can post new albums witout problem and reset again (it is very quick) if the problem reapper..

  • Question about syncing albums with Facebook

    I have Aperture set up so I can publish albums to my FB account.  However, everytime I open Aperture and it goes to sync with FaceBook, it copies all my photos I have on Facebook that I don't have in Aperture into my library.  For example, all the pictures in my Cover Photos album in FB get copied into my library.  Is there a way to prevent this from happening?  Is there a way to make Aperture not copy of sync with 1 particualer album on FB, or to make it so I can publish photos from Aperture to FB, but not have photos from FB get copied into Aperture?

    Try unchecking the "Automatically check for newly published albums" setting in Preferences. In Aperture preferenced, click the Web pane and select the Facebook item in the Accounts list on the left first.

  • Syncing contacts with Facebook and contact visualization in dialer

    Hi, 
    I have spent a lot of time trying to sync and consolidate my contacts from Google and Facebook. I did have a couple of issues however and I am looking for advise. 
    1) Contact photo from Facebook are very low res and blurry.
         - Xperia with Facebook account has the both contact & calrendar sync checked, and sync has completed, but no photos are synched.
         - Facebook account has retreived the photo from Facebook, but it is extremely low-res and very blurry.
    2) Is there a way - after linking a google contact to a Facebook one to quickly copy or merge (selected) Facebook contact details (like photo, birthday, phone number, email or address) into the Google contact.
    3) Once I select a phone number as primary is there a way to see in the dialer (using T9 search) only the default phone number. Currenlty I may see a mobile phone from Facebook, another mobile phone from Google, and maybe a couple of other phones, and everytime I search for this contact directly in the dialer I need to remember and choose which number to dial.
    So far the only resolution seems to be to switch back to exDialer, which would be a shame since this is my only complaint from the Xperia dialer.
    4) Is there a way to backup the link between the google and facebook contacts? Is there a way to backup which phone number, email or address is default? Both of these are not preserved in google contacts, so everytime I reset or change phones I need to start all over.
    I am looking for your advice and best practices and thank you in advance!!

    OK, so after spending some time for research here are my findings:
    1) Synching contact pics from Facebook to Android contacts: Facebook and Xperia with Facebook accounts do not work. As a workaround I have used Contacts+ application from the Google Play store, it works as expected.
    2) Merging Facebook contact info (pic, phone number, email, birthday) to google contacts - have not found a way to automate or, best, semi-automate this just yet. Easiest manual option - view a contact, long press the phone/email/birthday, then edit the contact and paste. Will not work for the contact pic though.
    3) Show a single record for the contact in the dialer and remember the default phone - Xperia dialer cannot do this, Contacts+ and exDialer can be used as a replacement though.
    4) Backup the Google to Facebook link  &  the default selection for phone number, email, address in case of a hard reset or transfer between phones - no complete solution found yet, need to review more contact backup apps. At least one can edit the names of the google contacts so that they are spelled as in Facebook to make a future matches quick & more fluent.

  • Aperture 3.4.1 sync issue with Facebook

    When I upload an picture to Facebook, it won't sync anymore with Aperture.
    Any one having the same problem?
    Does any know how to resolve this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Frank

    I had the following exchange with one of my daughters who is quiet expert with Facebook:  me) Are there single photo uploads via the iPhone that would not be treated like an album on Facebook?  Daughter) Yes, they would be in mobile uploads folder, or wall photos.  Sometimes there are multiple wall photo albums.
    Where did you find your photo?  The folders she is talking about would likely not get picked up by Aperture on sync.

  • Syncing issues with facebook

    I've synced my phone with my facebook account so my friends will be included in my contacts.  However, the profile pictures will not transfer.  What am I doing wrong/

    I've done this as well as deleting the app, going to the Market and re-installing Facebook for Android.  After re-installing I again synced the account (followed instructions in another thread), however I still have no pictures.  The rest of the information seems to be there (birthdays, e-mail accts, etc...), however the pictures are not showing.  Any additional ideas on how to correct this problem?  I've been trying for two days now and I've done everything I can think of and I'm out of ideas.  Thanks!

  • Is Droid Maxx able to sync Contacts with Facebook

    My old Droid used to sync the photos from FB with my contacts, but I have yet to find a way to make my new replacement phone (Droid Maxx) do that.  Is it no longer posible or am I missing something?

    Welcome.  I had to use that on my GNEX and Razr Maxx from Ice Cream Sandwich through JellyBean.

  • Syncing with Facebook

    I'm experiencing a problem with my contacts and trying to sync Facebook information. Before I would update my Facebook contacts it but the link to the Facebook profile and updated the photo. Now it's not updating photos and putting a "0" under Facebook field in the contact. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
    Just upgraded to iOS 7.1.2 to see if it was a bug fixed. You can see a sample on this screenshot below.

    Hi iammatthew,
    If you are having issues syncing contacts with Facebook on your iPhone, you may want to double check that the sync option hasn't been accidentally turned off, and/or try turning it off then turning it back on. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Facebook tagging issues

    Before I start I have read what feels like everything and so far nothing seems to really solve the problem.
    I am trying to move from LR to Aperture and have my main library. Running on a Mac so contacts and Mavericks is all synced up with Facebook etc...
    In my main library I have a number of people that are tagged and these pass over to Facebook with a hyperlink to the person. However there are a number that don't and just get the 'greyed out' tag but this doesn't show on their profile.
    I created a new library, imported a bunch of images and proceeded to tag them using the same tags that are automatically prompted. Out of 3 people that don't work on the main library, 2 now have tags with hyperlinks, but 1 still doesn't.
    This is driving me round the bend as I have a whole project to start but can't get this working consistently enough, and it's now making me wonder about whether Aperture is worth it - I'm really after the organising and sharing elements.
    Any thoughts, advice etc would be welcome.

    Ok, thanks.
    I think the issues I have are only with people whose faces I tagged in iPhoto before I linked to facebook...
    Ill try contacting facebook and see if they can help. Will post any solution I get here for others.

  • Aperture Faces/Facebook Tag Syncing Broken

    I hope someone here can help me.
    I just published a bunch of photos to facebook using the Aperture "Facebook" share feature. I also had been sure that all my "faces" were tagged before doing so in order to save me time tagging all the photos through facebook.
    The only problem is it didn't work. For half the people it did indeed tag them with the names of the "faces" but it wasn't linked to any particular Facebook account. That being said, some of the faces randomly DID work.
    How exactly do I go about changing that? The Aperture help mentions you can setup the face's Facebook ID from the faces tab in aperture but doesn't explain how to do so.
    I thought perhaps it had to do with the email addresses not being correct so I've switched those but so far it hasn't fixed anything - maybe it only works for new uploads and can't re-sync and fix old ones?
    The weird part is, two of the faces that tagged just fine have no email specified. The ones that did have emails specified DIDN'T sync to their facebook profiles...
    This is all very confusing...

    Your experience seems to be typical!

  • Faces Replacement with Facebook Friend

    I've noticed that some of my Faces in images synced with Facebook get "replaced" with the corresponding Facebook user. This goes beyond (the useful and intended) matching of the Face to the Facebook user (through their e-mail address) and the generation of a tag for the picture on Facebook; it's an actually loss of data and functionality. The subject is no longer listed with his Face in Aperture, and the control linking to the Face is gone (replaced with a Facebook icon). Worse, this happens without my doing anything in Aperture or Facebook: one minute the image is among those associated with a Face, later it's gone.
    Is this a bug; a feature I don't understand?

  • How can I sync *CURRENT* contacts with Facebook?

    I searched the discussions and found numerous questions asking how to sync Facebook's contacts with Address Book but those results just put all of Facebook's contacts in your Address Book.  I would like to sync the my current addressbook with Facebook and import user pictures, email addresses, etc.
    I'm an iPhone user all of 24 hours but this is done pretty seemlessly on Android phones.
    Is there a way of selecting just current contacts to be synced with Facebook?
    I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3
    Thank you.

    I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook.  I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

  • How do I sync individual contacts with Facebook?

    On iOs6, on the iPhone 5, how does one sync individual contacts with Facebook? I don't wish to use the sync all contacts feature, as it adds thousands of Facebook friends to my contact list. I simply wish to connect the contacts already in my address book.

    I realize this is really old, but on the off chance of you never having found a way, I figured I'd pop in with something actually useful unlike this Raz fella.
    I couldn't figure out a way to do it without connecting to facebook at all, but here is what I did:
    1. Connect to facebook.
    2. Update contacts.
    3. Click groups and uncheck facebook contacts.
    Now contacts which are only on the phone because of facebook will not show up, and yet the others will have been connected.
    If a specific person does not connect properly to facebook, add their FACEBOOK EMAIL (found in their about section) to the email section of contacts and again go to the facebook settings and click update contacts. This should connect that person.
