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.

  • 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...

  • 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?

  • How do i upload my albums from iPhoto to other websites.

    I am trying to upload an album from Iphoto to a website.  The website takes me to my harddrive.  But my photos are in iphoto and the library is shaded out.  It wont let me save the photos to the desktop or burn a cd or anything else.

    in the upload window look in teh lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto - the standard method to access your iPhoto database from programs other than iPhoto

  • Seven of my albums from iPhoto 9.5.1 are no longer visible. The photos are still in iPhoto - is there a way to get the metadata back?

    Seven of my albums from iPhoto 9.5.1 are no longer visible. The photos are still visible in iPhoto, but the albums are completely gone (another 10  albums are still visible). The missing albums are visible in iPhoto Library Manager (I downloaded the free version and when it loaded the library the missing albums were visible)
    About 6 months ago 4 different albums disappeared and I assumed my kids had accidentally deleted them; however, they haven't been allowed to touch the computer since then, so I can't blame them this time! Last time I lost albums I spent hours re-creating them but I am hoping that there is an easier way of getting the metadata to function again - I know I could create a new library with iphoto Library Manager but I would have to buy the full version and can't afford to do that.
    Not sure if it has anything to do with updating the application? (I updated recently and I'm not sure exactly when the albums disappeared.

    Use the rebuild function in iPhoto Library Manager. That does not require a purchase. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

    I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

    I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

  • Trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them.  Report back with the results.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Moving photos from photostream to your library just imports them, it doesn't remove it from photostream, therefore photostream won't disappear.
    Photos in photostream can't be edited, you can only edit photos that have been imported from photostream.

    Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
    Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

  • I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?

    I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

  • HT2265 for some reason the only photos that do the random scrolling are events, can I include the albums from iphoto to scroll as well.   the know the albums have synced because i can view them in slideshow

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you are referring to the screensaver. You can change the photos used by the screensaver in the screensaver settings. Note if you have a large number of photos in the collection you choose for screensaver, not all of them will be used due to the limited storage available to the Apple TV.

  • I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    You do not move the albums - you move the entire iphoto library intake as a single entity
    Make sure your external drive is formatted Ma OS extended (journaled) - then
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
