Exporting from iPhoto 09 to Facebook

Is there a way to export photos to a facebook account without using the moronic Faces feature? iPhoto 08 used an elegant app that would allow photos to be exported to the Facebook account where they could be organized, edited, and tagged prior to publishing. iPhoto no longer seems to allow this. Any ideas of how to bring this feature back?

1 - faces has nothing to do with FaceBook uploads
2 - iPhoto '08 had no FaceBook capability at all
3 - if you used a third party uploaded for Facebook with iPhoto '08 then check with the authors and see if it works with iPhoto '09 or if they plan to update it
4 - you can always u a browser based upload to facebook
5 - to use the build in upload simply select the photo(s) and click on facebook - they will be uploaded to facebook andy you can organize them there using the facebook tools

  • Can't export from iphoto '11 to facebook with facebook exporter

    Help!
    I've been trying to export photos from iPhoto '11 (Version 9.2.1) without success.  I am running OS X (10.6.8).  This is the error message I keep seeing, no matter which way I attempt to make a connection (through the 'Accounts' window in Preferences, or through the 'Share' tab when I select a photo to export).
    Here are the following steps I have taken, without any success:
    Changed my Facebook password.
    Logged out of Facebook.
    Downloaded and installed the 'Facebook Exporter for iPhoto' plugin from Facebook; alhtough this is suspect, since here's the most recent comment from Facebook on this plugin:
    The home for the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto - athttp://developers.facebook.com /iphoto/ - is temporarily down, as we build out a new version of it. In the meantime, you can download the application from this profile page, using the button at the left. Happy photo sharing!

    Re-booted my Mac after installing the plugin.
    Verified that the plugin is actually on my hard drive.
    Searched Google and Apple Support for help, but here I am...
    I really don't like Facebook, so maybe this the final hint that I should just give it up...

    Use Apple mail - set in the iPhoto preferences

  • Export from iPhoto while keeping original photo information?? NEED HELP!!!

    I'm trying to set up a pc for my grandmother so I can take over her old computer (macbook air). However she has 11000 photos on iPhoto and I need to move then all onto a storage device (about 30GB) but when I export them the computer doesn't copy all the information such as the date the photo was taken etc. Talking to a guy in the apple store he said i couldn't do it, but he was being pretty unhelpful so I was wondering if anyone here could give me an answer. How do you export from iPhoto while keeping all the information?

    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    As to dates specifically:
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • Unable to export from iPhoto

    I have tried to export individual photos and an album as a file(s) to my desktop and to smugmug via the iPhoto plugin without success. I have also put a new folder in Pictures and have tried to export the photos to it without success.
    When exporting to desktop, the message comes up "Exporting...Unable to create /users/name/desktop."
    When using the smugmug plugin, iPhoto "unexpectedly" shuts down!
    I have tried to drag and drop photos from iPhoto without success of course.
    I will appreciate your help and suggestions. This is the first time that I've had problems exporting from iPhoto.

    Well the reason you can’t export is because iPhoto can’t find the pictures.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Export from iPhoto with limited ppi.

    I need to submit a photo that is 1000 ppi in its longest dimension. When exporting from iPhoto, you can select small, medium, large and original. Or go the custom route, in which case the dimension is listed as "px." How do I convert to ppi? Thank  you.

    you can not - PPI is Pixels per inch - digital photos have no inches so you can not have PPI
    in the export dialogue you can select the number of pixels for the largest dimension - see the user tip on exporting for export options

  • How do i post photos from iphoto to a facebook group instead of my own page?

    I know how to post photos from Iphoto to my Facebook page, but cannot find a "simple" way to post photos in Iphoto to a Facebook "group" of which I am a member.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    There isn't a way.
    You'll need to use another method.

  • Exporting from iPhoto - 8 x 10 prints - image inconsistencies

    My other half and I are relatively new to digital photography - but we're in something of a bind.
    We looking for several dozen 8 x 10 prints (for an exhibition) from images stored in our iPhoto library. We'll be supplying them on disc to a photography bureau for printing. We did some sample 8 x 10s on our own printer, and were dismayed by how the image resolution varies from image to image; some look more pixellated than others. I'm wondering whether this is because of something we've done in iPhoto, since (as I understand it) JPEG resolution diminishes if photos are edited in any way. To my knowledge, we haven't edited the images; they've just sat in the library - although we've copied and exported many of them.
    It's making me wonder whether iPhoto is the most suitable application for this kind of work, since it holds everything in the space-friendly JPEG format rather than their original chunky size.
    I'd be really grateful for answers to any or all of the following:
    1. What activities in iPhoto might have caused the quality of our original JPEGs to have deteriorated, and is there any way of checking this? And can the photos in question be "retouched" in any way? I have access to Photoshop 7, if that's of any help.
    2. What format would be the best for exporting the images for the photography bureau (TIFF, presumably?) and are there any tricks or traps to be aware of? I've exported from iPhoto dozens of times, but never in such quantity.
    3. In the future, if we want to make larger prints from our digital images, should we be looking to download in RAW format rather than JPEG (the only two formats our camera, a Canon EOS10D, seems to support) - and use an application other than iPhoto? Or would upgrading to iPhoto 6 help us in any way.
    Many thanks.

    Hi, David.
    1. What activities in iPhoto might have caused the quality of our original JPEGs to have deteriorated, and is there any way of checking this? And can the photos in question be "retouched" in any way? I have access to Photoshop 7, if that's of any help.
    Cropping, perhaps more than anything else, because it reduces the actual number of pixels in the image. Any sort of editing or manipulation followed by saving, when the file is in JPEG format. Every time you save any new change to a JPEG image, the image is re-compressed and further degraded.
    If you have your camera save your images as JPEGs, re-save them as uncompressed TIFFS or PSDs as soon as you get them onto your Mac. Do all your editing and manipulating in TIFF, PSD, or some other uncompressed format. You will still have the original JPEG compression artifacts in them, but at least you won't be adding a new layer of artifacts and blurring with every change you save. For best results, shoot all your important images in RAW format instead of JPEG, so they are never compressed at all.
    2. What format would be the best for exporting the images for the photography bureau...?
    Ask the bureau what format they recommend or prefer. If they can handle .psd files, that format would maximize your own control.
    If you have Photoshop 7, there may be no good reason for you to use iPhoto at all.

  • Exporting from iPhoto 09 to Windows 7

    I wish to transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to my daughter. She uses a Windows 7 PC and she shares our network at home.
    I have exported a few photos which have captions and Keywords.
    When she views the photos using Windows Live Photo Gallery she can see the photos and the captions but not the keywords.
    When exporting from iPhoto I have used File>Export, have chosen JPEG, Maximum Size and have ticked the box to include Title and Keywords.
    My questionsa are:
    1) Why are the Keywords not showing in Windows Live Gallery? They are not shown in 'People Tag' or Descriptive Tag' (I have exported them to a folder on my Mac and can see the Keywords when I check Properties.) And is there anything I can do to make them viewable in Windows Live Gallery?
    2) When I view Properties on my daughter's PC it shows under 'Origin' Quick Time 7.7.1 along with the date and time the photos were taken. Why would it show 'Quick Time'?
    Many thanks,
    Peter

    The reason is that whatever software your daughter is using is not supporting Exif and IPTC standards. Get your daughter to use an app that does.
    The QuickTime part is a never-no-mind. It just means that there were exported on a Mac. QuickTime is multi-media substructure on the Mac.

  • Exporting from iPhoto 11 to External Hard Drive

    I am trying to export some of my pictures in iPhoto to me external hard drive.  I am able to do it, but when I open the pictures that have been exported, they have lost their info, for example the date the picture was taken.  What appears in the info is the date that I exported them.  Is there a way to export but retain the date?

    You need to check both the Include boxes.
    No, you do need an application that's aware of Exif - and that includes simple photo viewers. It does not include the Finder.
    In more detail:
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider  jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.

  • How to Export from iPhoto in time-taken order.

    In the archived discussion "http://discussions.apple.com/message/11510994#11510994" entitled "Exporting from iPhoto Library to hard disk for archiving", LarryHN said to "...use the export option to name files sequentially...".  If you're wondering what option that is, I believe it is File -> Export... -> File Export -> Use album name.  That causes your iPhoto Library to be output in the order you see them within iPhoto because iPhoto creates the files with sequentially numbered file names prefixed by the album name, such as "Library - 01.jpg", etc.  Thanks Larry

    It's not marked as a question, it was my mistake... I responded to the How to... as a question and not as an instruction...

  • Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random.

    Hi Guys and Girls,
    My Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random. Who else is having this annoying issue?
    Cheers,
    Keegan

    Do not use the iPhoto - Facebook link - as advertised changes on either side are automatically synced to the other - that is the way it works
    If you do not want the features that iPhoto offers then upload directly form a web browser or other method

  • I lost my photos from iPhoto when using Facebook Exporter

    I had a few thousand photos on iPhoto. I had iPhoto open, but minimized when I went into Facebook to download photos. There was a link that installed FacebookExporteriPhoto so that I could put pictures directly into Facebook from iPhoto. I clicked on it and installed it. When the install was complete, every single thing I had on iPhoto was gone. I don't know a lot about macs. I only use it for my pictures, I will seriously have a nervous breakdown if I can't get them back.
    Please help!!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

    How do I export a jpeg photo to a dating website?

    Hi!
    In iPhoto 11 you can export it by selecting the photo and then choose File > Reveal in Finder > Original file.
    This will open Finder with the original JPEG-file selected.
    Some dating sites (like one I work for) and Facebook allow you to download a plugin and export directly from iPhoto to your account on the dating site, but the before mentioned export works brilliantly no matter what dating site you're using!
    Good luck :-)
