Changing Facebook password in iPhoto

OS X 10.5.8, iPhoto 8.1
Since creating and uploading albums to Facebook I have changed my Facebook password. Now, whenever I tell iPhoto to Check Now any of my albums I get an error about not being able to authenticate with the server and to check my login and password details.
OK, fair enough, I know I need to do this - but how????
The only place can find to enter/edit my Facebook account details is when I publish, but I don't want to publish any new photos. Surely there must be another way to do this?
Any ideas anyone?

Well, I've found a workround.
Select a photo - any photo - in your iPhoto Library, then click the Facebook button at the bottom of the window. This brings up a Facebook login dialogue. Enter your username (mine was already filled in) and password and click Login.
When the Publish dialogue appears, click Cancel.
Now when you right-click an existing Facebook album and select Check Now it works. On one of them I still got the Server Auth error, but when I dismissed that it worked correctly.
Whether this survives across exiting/restarting iPhoto - or a reboot - remains to be seen.
I'm sure this is a bug as the workround is so kludgy and un-Apple-like.
One thing, I maintain albums for two Facebook accounts (mine and my gf) so maybe that has something to do with it?

  • Changes email password in iphoto

    I accidentially put in the wrong password when setting up my email account through iphoto.  I need to change because it won't send the photos through iphoto.
    How do I do that?

    If you buy an iLife '11 install DVD (eBay, Amazon) you could upgrade your iPhoto right away. The earlier iPhoto '11 versions are compatible with MacOS X 10.6.8.
    but I can't until I upgrade from OS X 10.6.8.  Trying to figure out how to do that...
    To upgrade to Mt. Lion see here:  You can buy it and download it from the appStore, if your mac is compatible:

  • My facebook password is saved, but I changed it and the old password automaticly inserts, I need to change it.

    I changed my password for facebook. The old password was saved and automatically filled in each time I log into facebook. The old password still fills in and I need to know how to change it to the new one.

    Tools -> Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords.
    On the list of sites select http://www.facebook.com (you should see your FB user name in the right column). Select "Remove". Login to FB with your new password and click "Remember password" when asked.

  • Unable to edit, add or change passwords in iphoto web gallery

    Iphoto and Web Gallery were working great but recently, I am unable to add, change, or delete passwords to my web galleries. When I go Settings and into Edit Names and Passwords, I can add or change a password but when I click OK, it will not allow either clicking on OK or hitting return. I have also posted an album to web gallery and it does not appear in the list in Settings or in the Edit Name and Password lists but I can see my gallery out on the web with all photos.
    Any help on why this is. I have both a IMAC and a Macbook and it is the same with both computers using my imac account. Both have updated software and the Macbook has Parallels installed. I
    ran repair in Keychain Access with no problems. I created another account and this did not help.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
    2 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Possible security problem with my iPhone4, it seems like it has been hacked into and my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice.

    I seem to be having security problems with my iPhone4, it seems like someone has hacked into my hotmail, facebook and university accounts (which all have different passwords) and proceed to change my passwords on me. This has happened twice and I have not left my phone unattended at any time that I can recall nor have I accessed these accounts from another source (i.e. computer/laptop) since changing my passwords after the first hacking occurred. Please help.

    Anyone else at your university complaining about the same thing?  It is more likely someone is stealing passwords by sniffing traffic over the university wifi or with a man-in-the-middle attack or by other means external to your phone.  Try a Google search on "steal password" (without quotes) or "steal SSL password" and you'll learn more than you wanted to know about how passwords get stolen.
