Aperture 3.3 Facebook Issue

Since upgrading to Aperture 3.3 I constantly get a message that says:
"There was a problem connecting to Facebook."
If I leave Aperture running for a while the error messages will stack up and I can't quit Aperture.
Any ideas/solutions?
Thanks!

Nobody else seems to be keen on answering this question, and it was starting to bother me. 
So I looked in preferences and found that under the "Web" tab, there is "Automatically check for newly published albums" setting, checked by default.
Looks like you can un-check it and the problem goes away.  Of course that feature does, too, but since I do all my photo publishing through Aperture it doesn't bother me.
I suspect the problem is an intermittent connection with Facebook, but I'm a little surprised since Facebook has always been one of the web's most reliable sites, and whatever's happening isn't impacting my regular Facebook browsing at all.
Hope that helps.

  • Multiple managed libraries: facebook issues (photos disappear)

    I reorganized my aperture libraries by moving projects to their appropriate library from my "working" library. Unfortunately, I published facebook albums from the working library. After I moved the projects to the appropriate library and trashed the corresponding project in the working library, many of my facebook albums have become empty.
    What's going on here?
    Would it be a good idea for Aperture to have facebook albums be part of a project (and travel with the project)? Why are they their own separate high-level thing?

    Hi all. I am reading this post and thinking why would you want one huge library. I'm going through a nightmare right now with a corrupted massive library that houses my family's memories.
    I had several time machine back ups. But it is only good as the data backed up. If corrupted then the backup has corrupted data. Garbage in, garbage out.
    So I guess I'm asking. If you have 50k pics. Ranging, for example, from years 2005-2012. In all one library. When you open up iphoto to work with current pics, why stress it out to also bring in 5 years of pics that you probably almost never use.
    Trust me. I love having all the pics at my disposal too.
    But I've learned over the last two days that this seems like a huge risk.
    If you have say 7 libraries ranging from 2005-2012. One of them gets corrupted. Only one gets corrupted ;)
    The others are probably fine.
    This whole rebuild and repair = totally worthless in my opinion. It not only didn't fix it, but it some now mysteriously added pics i previously deleted (like months ago)and rearranged other events. My library is totally shot. If I had several libraries I would be dealing with a disaster on a much smaller scale.
    I also tried to rebuild with iPhoto library manager. Didn't work.
    I'm a complete novice. But I'm sold on multiple libraries.
    And for what it is worth, I spoke to a few apple senior techs. They told me they don't recommend libraries more than 40-50 gigs? Certainly not over 100 gigs.
    Anyway I admit.... Part of me is also venting ;)

  • IPad Facebook issues with Safari

    Upgraded our iPad2 to 5.0.1 and when we now access Facebook via Safari, the video in Facebook now loads over the text.
    According to a Genius Bar guy at our local Apple store, this is a Facebook issue. I don't want to use the new Facebook app as it's still quite buggy.
    Any suggestions for accessing Facebook with Safari?
    Thanks.

    This is all on Facebook's code.  There is nothing you can do from the iPad other than to contact Facebook support and tell them about it.
    I use the Facebook app frequently and I don't find that it's that buggy.  It's not perfect by any means, but it's OK.  But I generally do prefer the web version.

    (1) Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then test again.
    (2) If the problem persists, download the latest Flash Player from the Adobe link for your OS:

    If the downloaded file is later than the version shown in Safari > Help > Installed Plug-ins, install the update, repair permissions one more time, and then test video again.
    (3) If your problem remains, use your  >Software Update... menu command to verify that your Apple software is up to date. If you apply any later Apple updates, repair permissions after the updates are complete, and then test whether video works now.

  • Aperture / Facebook issue

    I am having problems actually using Aperture after the update. Keeps giving me an error about a connection to Facebook. If I push ok it will just repeat itself. The only way out is to just completely turn off my computer. Anyone else having this problem and if so how do you fix it?

    HI there I'm also haveing this problem. Just unable to connect to Facebook. Constantly getting this error whilst trying to connect to my Facebook account for the first time:"unknown error occurred: please try again later". I am accessing this via Aperture > prefs > Web > 'add an account' and also trying via the toolbar > share > Facebook.
    I am using Aperture 3.3.2 (connected to the web). Have checked my passwords are correct. I did have a previous connection with Aperture and FB, this was removed from FB > Apps.
    Under the web tab, I have no accounts, so there is no ability to uncheck "automatically check..."
    Any ideas?
    With thanks in advance too for any assistance.

  • Faces/Facebook issue?? my faces keep disappearing??

    im having an issue with aperture 3 using faces and Facebook.... I'm running 3.1.1 so i have to update but i didn't see anywhere in the release notes fixing any issue with faces or Facebook....i have to keep re-naming my faces, and they disappear, it seems related to Facebook in some way. When i click names, the faces are named, but they dont show up in the faces section in aperture. The ones that dont are named, but there name has a little FB icon next to it...
    any help or why it keeps erasing my faces???

    Hey,
    EXACTLY the same problem. Very serious - I'm not getting any emails now. My mail client pings that new email has arrived, but nothing in the inbox.
    @pvonk: It's not a computer email client problem. I tested this on the iCloud webmail: The messages appear for a split second, then immediately disappear, not to be found anywhere, not in Junk, Trash, anywhere.
    Fact is, I cannot use iCloud email anymore. Simply because I'm not getting any email!
    EDIT: I found that a workaround is possible by setting up iCloud to forward all messages to another address. It seems the messages go through to the forward address, while still not appearing in the iCloud mailbox. So this is a way to preserve the incoming messages. Just have to make sure to let everyone know to stop using my iCloud address to send me mail in the future.

  • 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!

  • Video's are missing and can not post any video's and can no longer see on Facebook after upgrading mac software.  Facebook says content is unavailable.  Is this a facebook issue or is there something that I can do to fix on my mac.

    Video's are missing from facebook album under photo's.  It shows that I have 99 and only shows 24.  These are not copyright problems.  I have had them up for years.  Now, I can not post any video's  too.  Message says that content is currently unavailable. It seemed to happen after I upgraded to 10.7.5 but it could be coincidental.  Of course, I have not got any email from facebook to help with this problem and I am really frustrated that I can not find my video's and post any new ones anymore.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,

  • Printing in Aperture 3 -- Interface & Presets Issues

    I very much like the general direction of change in the printing interface, and I can print with satisfaction as to quality in A3, with my primary printer (Epson R1900). But the creation of printing presets seems not to be able to capture final settings made in the Printer dialogue, nor is there a way in the A3 dialogue to pre-access those functions in order to Save in the Preset. This includes turning off the color management in the printer, and setting of expansion of the print to zero when using borderless. I seem to have to reset these for each print I initiate?
    In addition, while I can get a change to a Preset to Save between sessions of Aperture, if I have two or more custom presets, the change to any one of them gets made in all of them?
    With the first issue, what I am talking about is what in A2 could be accessed in the Aperture print dialogue with the Print Settings button. With that you could access those items that one also sees after you click the Print button, but by doing so via the Print Settings button, those choices could also be encompassed into the Save of the Preset.
    For clarity of what is missing, as least for Epson printers, click on the third screenshot in this below O'Reilly link, to enlarge, then you will see the Print Setting button immediately below the name of printer box:
    http://blogs.oreilly.com/aperture/2008/06/printing-tips.html
    I found this to be the same for all Epson printers, at least. But I see no way to access this in A3. This is not a good development if something akin to the Print Settings button cannot be found in the A3 Print dialogue. If achieving this involves selections for the Default Printer that would impact every app that might use this printer, it would not be handy.
    With respect to the saving of Presets, I find this mysterious and either a bug or something simple that I am missing.
    Ernie

    Ernie,
    there seems to be a bug with saving presets, see
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2349173
    for more info and workarounds.
    Printing in AP3 is a 'two-step' process now - there might have been problems to integrate the various options of printer drivers into the AP interface...
    1) AP printing dialog. In AP3 the settings for ColorProfile, PageOrientation, Paper and Printer are saved in the apps preference file, while all other settings can be bound to user-defined presets. This means that changes made to these four will always be reflected to all presets and you will have to check them before you print.
    2) System printing dialog. Here you could define presets for those (printer related) options not available in the AP interface anymore (printing and paper quality, etc.) to streamline your printing. The four settings mentioned above are taken over from AP to System dialog.
    I must admit that I personally liked the AP2 way much more, but this one seems to be more compatible.
    Hope this helps,
    Jashe

  • Aperture & iPhoto referenced library issues

    Hi,
    For the last couple of days I've been busy trying to get my Aperture library to work properly. I recently started using a referenced library because of lack of space on my internal ssd. I've generated previews on all of my 40000 photos. I can see all of my Projects, thumbnails, metadata etc. when my external drive is disconnected. However, there are two major issues:
    1) Most of the video thumbnails are broken, both in Aperture and iPhoto. By double clicking a thumbnail of a video (.mov, .avi etc.) it sometimes starts playing, sometimes it doesn't, totally inconsistent. I can export the video and it works just fine.
    2) While using iPhoto with the external drive disconnected, all Events are there, the thumbnails are there, everything looks ok, but I can only view some of the previews/photos after double clicking the thumbnails. A dialogue opens up saying "The volume for [imagefilename] cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume..", but I can actually see the full size preview behind this dialogue. By clicking "Cancel" the photo dissapears and is replaced by a black screen with a grey exclamation mark. This does not occur while using Aperture, I can see all of my previews in full glory when the external drive is disconnected. However, with the external drive connected everything works in iPhoto (except above mentioned issue with videos).
    Please boys and girls, help me out with this!
    System information
    OS: Maverick 10.9.1
    Aperture: 3.5.1
    iPhoto: 9.5.1
    Thanks!
    //Michel

    I don;t use iPhoto much so I'm no expert but looking at other posts asking a similar question sems to indicate iPhoto is not capable of doing this.
    See Can iPhoto view pictures on a disconnected external drive in a unified photo library? for one example.
    Again if Aperture is working correctly on the referenced images on the disconnect drive and iPhoto is not you will need to ask the iPhoto folks.
    regards

  • Aperture 3 and Facebook

    Hi, I love the idea of uploading direct from Aperture however I'm worried about what happens if I had to reinstall Aperture or I bought a new Mac etc, would the album be deleted form the Facebook site?
    I know this happens in iPhoto as far as I'm aware.
    Thanks for any tips.
    Latest updates.

    Oh I see, thanks

  • Aperture 3 and Facebook exporting???  doesn't update

    So I tried the new Facebook exporter from Aperture 3. You can only put pics in a new Facebook album, or drag them into an album that you have created from within Aperture 3. But when I add photos by dragging them, they do not show up on Facebook. Aperture 3 says they are there, but they are not on Facebook. How do I add photos to an album? Anyone else have this bug in Aperture 3?

    After you drag new photos into the Facebook album, you have to click on the little radar-wave-looking icon to re-sync the album. I think there is a setting somewhere to make it auto-refresh, but by default they're manually synced.
    It's annoying that you can't seem to connect to an existing Facebook album. Hopefully they'll fix that.
    It would also be nice if you could connect to more than 1 Facebook account (I don't think you can) -- my wife and I keep our shared photo collection on Aperture, but I think only one of us can use it to sync photos to Facebook.

  • Aperture 3 and Facebook problem

    I'm encountering a weird problem with Facebook upload through Aperture 3.1.
    I found a few photos and dragged them into my Facebook albums through Aperture. It says synchronising but seems to public multiple copies of the same photo to the FB album.
    If I delete multiples from FB it just copies them again after a while. If I delete them from FB, as soon as I restart Aperture they publish multiple copies of the pics I dragged through originally.
    Any solutions?

    Although I haven't encountered this problem, please read the following thread and you may reconsider the built-in Facebook syncing:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2625405&tstart=100
    Fortunately, it's easy enough to export photos from Aperture to a folder and upload manually, but a half-baked implementation shouldn't even be shown as a option.

  • Facebook issues

    Anyone else having issues with Facebook (pre-loaded app that came with Droid 1 initially)? All I'm getting now is "An error had occurred while fetching data" when I hit News Feed. I have 2.2 but have used app since the download with no problems.

    I'm having that same issue.  Never had it until the update.
