Error publishing LR 4.1 photos to Facebook

I'm getting the following error message:
Photo upload failed. Returned error from Facebook: (#240) Requires a valid user is specified (either via the session or via the API parameter for specifying the user.
I'm currently using LR 4.1 on a Mac running OS X 10.7.4, and have published many albums to both my personal page and to another page I "own". For the latter, I typically create the album in fb first, then publish my photos to that album. I've made no changes to my LR settings, and have checked the LR settings in fb for things such as "posts on your behalf", etc. and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. The plugin indicates that I'm authorized to publish and I have tried publishing these albums several times over the last week without success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Emory

Hi
I too have just started receiving the same error. I have reauthorised the account, and also removed the app from my facebook settings to start a fresh auithentication, but this still fails. I have even reinstalled Lightroom, to no avail. HELP!
P.S. I too am a Mac LR 4.1 user
Thanks
Gervan
**UPDATE**
Problems solved! This was sourced from a comment on the interweb
"Debug:1169: Error reply from Facebook: (#240) Requires a valid user is specified (either via the session or via the API parameter for specifying the user.
I found out the fix.
Access your facebook fanpage when you are logged into your personal account. There is a new “voice” section and make sure “You are posting, commenting, and liking as the fanpage” not as your main profile. This will stop the error #240.
Hope that helps"

I can't publish photos to facebook anymore with Iphoto...

I can't publish photos to facebook anymore using Iphoto...A small window opens requesting my FB email & password and to accept FB's terms. Once I add the info and hit "login" a message shows underneath saying: An unknown error occurred. Please try again later.
This started after I changed my password in FB... I tried to log out from FB; I quit Iphoto and deleted the FB account in Iphoto to re-add it; I went to Apps allowed on my FB account... and Nothing works!!! This is SO annoying! HELP????????

take a look at the user tip on FaceBook - it has helpoed some people

When I try to send a photo to facebook an error message comes up. It tells you to try again but when I do it still comes up error.

When I try to send a photo to facebook an error message comes up. It says to try again later which I have done several times. The same error message comes up. I have sent photos before and didn't have this problem and don't know why there is one now.

Publishing photos on Facebook

I have done this so many times before without a problem and as it is so simple you would wonder why I have a problem!
I tried publishing photos to Facebook this evening but the "publish" button is greyed out so I am unable to.
Now - is it an iPhoto problem or a FB problem.
What can I do?

My IPhoto is no longer allowing me to "publish" photos to Facebook, i.e. the "Publish" command is not active. Any suggestions?

How can I upload my iPhoto photos to facebook, and not have them automatically publish?

I know how to share my iPhoto photos to Facebook, but it used to be that when I logged on to Facebook, I had to approve the photos being published, and had the opportunity to edit the album and then publish it. How I do this again, and not have it automatically publish?

Question to ask of Facebook.

How to publish my photos on Facebook?

How to post my photos on Facebook? Please.

There are a number of apps in the app store that allow you to upload photos to Facebook e.g. the 'official' app : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8 (it's optimised for the iPhone's screen, but you can upload photos from it)

IPhoto crashes my system when uploading photos to Facebook any help?

Re: My iPhoto will not longer let me hit the Facebook icon and immediately post to Facebook. Now it says, "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" which you still can't do. What gives?
Dec 30, 2012 7:26 PM (in response to laurafromhamilton)
Just solved it here after an hour+ of experimenting.
Try this:
• When you get prompted "Do you want to set up iPhoto of post to Facebook?" confirm and it will bring up your regular Facebook home page in asmall viewer window.
• Go up to the upper right corner of the Facebook page and log out, then hit the "Close" button at the bottom of the small viewer window.
• You'll probably get the same "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" prompt again. This time hit Cancel
• Now try to share your pictures to Facebook again. You'll get the "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" message again. Do it and this time hopefully you should get a prompt to login to your Facebook account. Enter your Facebook name and password. This should reset your connection.
• If successful you should get a prompt from Facebook that you can close the page. Close it and fingers crossed, all should work again. That's what worked for me.
See if it will work for you.

Error Publishing from iweb 09 - Server or iweb problems??

I upgraded from iweb 08 (I had no issues) to iweb 09, and I have publishing errors more than half the time. Are the mobileme servers having problems, or is there a hack in the iweb software?
This is a big problem because I have 20 Gb of pages with video that I need to re-publish. It is bad enough that I will be tying my network up for 2 weeks, but that I often don't make progress.
The message is "Error connecting to mobileme, check network.. .." The problem is that it uploads for an hour or so before it stops.. I am double checking to see if my routing is causing the problem, but I don't think so..
Is Apple working on this? Are there numerous people who are now stuck re-publishing their sites and the servers are getting beat up? Does anyone know how to diagnose this type of problem?

Finally i solved the issue of Publishing Error in iWeb 09 with MobileMe.
Procedure which i followed and might also help you guys.
Lets say your default site name is XYZ then create a new site e.g. ABC.
Thereafter dragged all pages from default site XYZ to new site ABC ONE BY ONE.
*In the preference folder delete any PLIST files related to iWeb (i had two files in my folder).*
*Once you drag all pages from your default site to new site there after just make a new blank page and publish the site.*
Then start dragging first one page from new site ABC and publish one page. There after repeat all pages one by one and publish after every page you drag from new site ABC to default site XYZ.
Once you finish then take a backup in time machine of the domain.
There after start your blog page then publish again then start photos album page, publish again then your movie page, publish again etc because these are the pages which were mostly creating errors.
After you complete the final page and publish remove the blank page and publish again.
I spent 3 days with the same problem and finally i could finish by this method in few hours.

Sharing photos using Facebook integration on iOS 6

I have tried sharing a photo from my album to facebook. But it never posted on my wall/timeline. Why is that?

I have the same problem. Privacy settings seem to be fine. Facebook has access to the photo library. Never receive any kind of error.
I select a photo from my camera roll. Share with Facebook. Type in a short caption and hit "Post". It acts as if it is posting the photo, but it never shows up.

Photoshop Elements 9upload photos to Facebook.

Relaunch the PSE and then try again.

Iphoto has stopped sharing my photos to facebook

My iphoto 09 has stopped exporting/sharing my photos to facebook.
I always uploaded in this manner earlier, but for some strange reason, it doesnt work with a click of a button anymore.
If I click on the FB icon, after selecting the respective album, it comes up with this massage, ' Do you want to set up iphoto to publish to FB? Though it already was set up...
Neverthless, I do that, I select - Set up- after which, it takes me to my preexisting FB page, in a little window...where I can navigate withen it...but then there is no other option...except, 'cancel'. So I end up clicking/selecting, 'cancel'.
My mac book OS is 10.7.5.
Please advice.
Am I doing something wrong...?

Appearently there is an issure between iPhoto and FB - there are many reoports of this - one work around is to export photos to a desktop folder un use a browser to upload from there
And someone posted a suggested solution a week or so ago - I have no idea as to the validity of the solution but some people seemd to find it helpful - you can find it by searching the forums (maybe even in the more like this list) and see what you think about it
