Hey xylomylo,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to know how to work with photos on Facebook with iPhoto on your MacBook Pro. The iPhoto Help article linked below provides a lot of great information that should answer the questions and concerns that you may have.

  • Importing Facebook albums into iphoto.

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if it is possible to import my photo album names and details from Facebook into iphoto? I know I can go the other way and edit albums I have created in iphoto and then uploaded into Facebook. However, I cannot seem to add photos to albums that I created in Facebook via iphoto. For example, if I create an album in Facebook, I cannot seem to access this album in iphoto as I didn't create it within iphoto.

    Please see my write-up and video tutorial on a solution to your question. I had the same need so I came up with this method.

  • Add Current Facebook Albums to iPhoto?

    Has anyone found a way to download your current facebook albums to iPhoto? I'd like to be able to do this so that I could add new pictures to them and have them sync back up to facebook instead of having to create new ones.

    I know this question has been tossed around a few times after looking at the existing threads, but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to get iPhoto to recognize and sync an existing Facebook album without creating a new album and moving the photos over?
    no
    The problem with that is that I lose the initial post on the wall with the album and it also nullifies links I've shared via Twitter to the albums. I've even gone as far as look at possibly modifying the database data, but that seems pretty much impossible to do without corrupting it. I really like the idea of iPhoto syncing and managing Facebook albums, but it seems pretty ridiculous that I can't add existing albums regardless of the quality of the images in them. Anyone agree?
    it makes no difference what we users think - iPhoto is what it is - to make suggestions iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • How to import Facebook albums to iPhoto '11

    Hi,
    I have iPhoto '11 installed on my MacBook white (mid 2010) with Lion. I connecyed iPhoto to my facebook account and I used it several times to upload new photos to Fb. This time I've imported 2 albums of photos to Fb from another computer and I'd like to import them to iPhoto on my Mac. I've tried accessing to Fb through iPhoto and I can see all my albums (even the ones I want to import) but there isn't any option that allows me to do that...at least none that I can see!
    Is there anyone who can help me?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

    How many orders do you need to import one photo?
    Perhaps you need to explain that again
    Regards
    TD

  • Copy Facebook albums between iPhoto libraries?

    My iPhoto Library recently became "unreadable" and I essentially have to start over from scratch with a new library.  Is it possible to copy/transfer my iPhoto Facebook albums to my new library?  I have iPhoto Library Manager: will that help?
    If this isn't possible, should I keep my "corrupt" library?  Will my Facebook albums get erased off of Facebook if I delete it?  As of now they are still fine on Facebook.
    Thank you!

    Why not try to fix the problem??
    Best is to load your backup
    If you do not have one (if you do not you will lose all of your photos - and other files sooner or later)
    Or backupyour iPhoto library and depress the option and command keys and repair it - if that does not do it then use the rebuild options
    last resort is to user iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and rebuild

  • Need to recover Facebook albums from iPhoto

    I was using my sisters MacBook to import photos from my iPhone to her iPhoto. She deleted ALL of the albums from her iPhoto, and it not only deleted the photos i had just imported, but it deleted ALL of my FACEBOOK ALBUMS!!!! How do I recover ALL of my Facebook Albums and photos i uploaded?

      but deleting iPhoto Facebook albums does not delete albums on facebook.com.
    It does next time you log into facebook.The idea is that you're using iPhoto to manage the material on FB and Flickr, so changes on iPhoto are synced to FB...

  • Duplicate/Triplicate photos uploaded to Facebook albums from iphoto

    When I upload photos from Iphoto to Facebook, the same photo is uploaded two or even three times, and I then have to delete the duplicate & triplicate photos. How can I prevent this from happening? Thank you very much!

    Give renewing your iPhoto preference file a shot -
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • IPhoto and Facebook Albums

    I just transferred my iPhoto library to my new MacBook Pro.  I can see my Facebook albums in iPhoto on my new Mac. I need to delete all my photos on my old Mac.  Will this delete them from Facebook too?  Thanks!  I don't want to delete my photos on the old Mac until I know the answer!

    Are you going to continue using iPhoto on yoru old Mac? As documented changes made to the ihoto library are synced to Facebook  --  if you simply trash the iPhoto library on the old mac then nothing will be changed in FB - if you delete them using iPhoto then then changes will be synced

  • 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.

    can anyone please help.

  • 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!

  • Uploading albums from iPhoto to Facebook isn't working

    I used to be able to upload an album from iPhoto on my mac to Facebook, now this doesn't work.
    I used to be able to select the album, click on the Facebook icon, select who can see my photos, then click publish, but publish is now greyed out. Why.
    Also, when I click on the existing Facebook Albums in iPhoto, I get an error message saying the log in details need updating, but it doesn't point me in the direction of where I can update this information.
    How can I resolve this?
    Thanks
    Regards

    Have this problem too with Lightroom! The sudden spike in views for this post would suggest that it's only a recent thing. Have you notified Facebook of this?

    When I go to access my albums from any app on my phone or iPad, I cannot access the iCloud albums, only the albums synced with iTunes/iPhoto manually.  This is frustrating because I cannot add to those albums from mobile device, I have to add to them during a Mac sync.  I would like to be able to use my iCloud albums to organize my photos but if I cannot access them from apps it seems pointless.  I will end up having to maintain both an iCloud library and a separate iPhoto library which is more work that seems necessary.  I want everything easy to organize and access.  It seems like in this age where most people are more likely to use their mobile devices than their Macs (and some do not even own Macs) that there should be a mobile solution.  Hopefully I am simply without a clue and you folks can help me out with a fix or a source of info as a solution.  I have not found answers yet.

  • Cannot access shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3 on mac

    I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3.  The directions in help tell me to go to iPhoto preferences > photo stream, and check the box next to "select the shared photo stream checkbox".  There is no such option in my version.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

    I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3
    Is this a shared photo album from iPhoto on a mobile device or a Shared Photo Stream?
    If a shared Photo Stream you should have this preference pane in iPhoto 9.4.3:
    Check the boxes as shown in this screenshot and then go to the Photo Stream section in iPhoto and see if they appear.

  • 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.
