Facebook album missing from iphoto

I am using both iPhoto and Aperture, and both are linked to my Facebook account. However, the primary photo album I use on Facebook - the default "Mobile uploads" album - does not show up in either application. All the other albums do...and if I create a new album in Facebook, it nearly immediately shows up in iPhoto. I've tried removing my Facebook account and re-adding it, but each time I do it goes through and syncs up the albums and omits the Mobile Uploads.
Any ideas how to gently nudge iPhoto (and/or Aperture) into noticing that album on Facebook?
Here's a clue about what may be the source of the problem. Some time ago, when I first connected Aperture to my Facebook account something happened and I had two Mobile Uploads albums and, if I remember correctly, they seemed to be duplicates of each other. So I deleted one of them, thinking somehow Aperture was goofing off and displaying the same album twice. But I believe what I later found, is that the folder that was left behind was a static copy of the "live" Mobile Uploads album on Facebook - so I think I deleted the live one. This became clear when I added new photos to the album on Facebook and they were not updating in Aperture.
So it seems like somewhere my Mac is being told to ignore that album. Interestingly, I got a new Mac a couple of months ago, and it also ignores Mobile Uploads folder so it seems like that instruction is coming from Facebook, rather than being controlled by something locally on my Mac (I didn't import anything from my old Mac).
Just theories...I have no idea what's actually going on. But I want to tell iPhoto and/or Facebook "Hey look...forget what you may have been told in the past. Here's a Facebook account, and here's a copy of iPhoto. You guys talk, and show all the albums currently in that Facebook account in iPhoto."
Any help?

I think if you go to this link you can fill out a form which sends a message to iTunes support:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Symptoms.do
I found that by going to the Express Lane (https://expresslane.apple.com/), clicking "iTunes" under product categories, clicking "iTunes Store", and selecting "Purchases, Billing, and Redemption".

  • Albums missing from iPhoto albums folder

    I have just noticed that whenever I create a new album in iPhoto, it does not get put into the pictures>iPhoto Library>albums file. It does not seem to be anywhere when doing a search in finder, although the album is on the iPhoto window. I have older albums, but no newer ones. I like to be able to find photos in albums this way when moving to Photoshop. Any idea where they are and why they are not being created in this file? I cannot find any preferences that would have had them moved and like I said, can't seem to find them anywhere.

    New? About 2005 with v5 of the application.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto

    Does anyone know how to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto, or do I have to set up another set of albums?

    Albums that you synced from a computer can't be amended in the Photos app, the only way to add (or remove) photos to those albums is to do it on your Mac and resync.

  • Photos Missing from iPhoto with Maverick Upgrade

    I have recently upgraded to the Maverick OS and noticed that all my photos are now missing from iPhoto however I can see them under Preview when I use the Finder application. Also, when I open iPhoto it prompts me to enter personalized settings as if I am using it for the first time (ie: Face recognition, etc.) How can I get my photos back into iPhoto? I am worried I may lose them.

    Have you upgraded iPhoto after your Mavericks upgrade?
    Be aware after updating iPhoto save your iPhoto Library before you open it in the new version of iPhoto Library. If you don't and you have other Macs running eariler versions of iPhoto, they won't be able to open the Library.

  • Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords

    Anyone know why the "Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords" option does not seem to work? I expected to see the keywords I added to my photo in iPhoto also in Picasa on the web after they have been uploaded.
    Downloaded and installed "Picasa Web Albums Uploader" version 1.3.1.680 from Google. Then from within iPhoto did a File > Export. The above option is shown on the "Picasa Web Albums" tab. I am using iPhoto 09.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    For help with the Picasa Web Albums Uploader, best to seek advice from the makers, after all, no one knows it better than they do.

  • All my old photos are missing from iPhoto on my Mac- any one have ideas on how to retrieve?

    All my old photos are missing from iPhoto on my Mac- any one have ideas on how to retrieve?

    Do you have a Time Machine backup or any backup of your Mac? Then you could try to restore from the backup.
    If your photos are very important documents, you could also try data recovery software. Usually the trial versions are free, but if you want to safe the recovery photos you have to pay.  Disk Drill works well to recover jPEG photos, see:  http://www.cleverfiles.com/
    It is still not obvious what might have happened to your iPhoto Library.  Have you searched for different iPhoto Libraries?
    You can search everywhere with FindAnyFile, where Spotlight will not search. 
    I learned this  from Old Toad , see his post here:
    Re: My iPhoto Library disappeared...how do I get it back?
    Download and run Find Any File to search for a file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the file name. These are files common to all versions of  iPhoto libraries.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If there's a library hiding somewhere on your hard drive FAF will find it.

  • Photos deleted from facebook are now missing from iPhoto

    How do I recover photos that went missing after deleting an album from facebook?

  • Facebook albums missing after upgrade to iPhoto '11

    I installed iPhoto '11 on my wife's iMac. She had probably 30 or more Facebook albums that showed up on the left side of the screen in iPhoto '09. After the upgrade there is just one icon that shows she has an account but none of her previous albums appear below it.
    HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Now whenever she tries to upload photos to Facebook a message appears in iPhoto and asks to delete her albums off of Facebook. One message per album that formerly appeared in iPhoto '09. We accidentally deleted a few albums before I realized that it actually removes them from her Facebook page.
    I can't find this problem in any other thread. Help! What can we do?

    OK, I have had some success with resolving this particular problem.
    *Step 1:* I quit out of iPhoto 11 and went to my FaceBook account. Under the Account tab, menu item account settings, you can change your password.
    *Step 2:* After changing your FaceBook password, open iPhoto 11. Click on the FaceBook icon. You will get an error message, just cancel out of it.
    *Step 3:* Delete every FaceBook album. (This may take a degree of faith ) Its not really deleting them from FaceBook as long as you are not connected to FaceBook from iPhoto.
    *Step 4:* Open iPhoto preferences go to accounts and click on your facebook account. Enter your new password. This will reconnect you to Facebook. Your FaceBook photo albums will rebuild and download to your iPhoto program. Life will be cool again
    This worked for me. Hopefully for you too.
    Additionally if you wanted to try to change your FaceBook password back again I don't see why that wouldn't work as well. The important thing is deleting the current albums displayed in iPhoto without being connected to FaceBook.

  • Now I'm just ****** off - original photos missing from iPhoto

    Ok.
    So I had this problem the other day after upgrading to iPhoto 6 (see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406534&tstart=0)
    That seemed to get solved from the information provided.
    OK, great. So today, I'm flipping through some albums, and I discover, much to my chagrin, that some photos (all of which appear to be from 2000/2001) have thumbnails, but no longer have the photos attached.
    And before you say, "hey, do you have the apple support framework 1.4?" why yes, I've already checked.
    And before you say, "hey, did you try rotating/exporting/dragging the photos to your desktop?" Why yes, I've already tried.
    As a matter of fact, when I try to go into the iphoto library file structure itself, and open some of these older photos (after searching around for them because ever since the upgrade, I appear to have about 800 different files in my iphoto folder), I get a message that the image either doesn't exist or is corrupt.
    Speaking of the file structure, This is a list of what I get now when I open the pictures folder in finder:
    2000 (folder)
    2001 (folder)
    2002 (folder)
    2003 (folder)
    2004 (folder)
    2005 (folder)
    AlbumData.xml
    bdayfun.jpg
    Data (folder)
    Dir.data
    iPhoto.ipspot
    iPhotoLock.data
    iPod Photo Cache (folder)
    Library.cache
    Library.data
    Library.iPhoto
    Library6.iPhoto
    Modified (folder - NOTE: THIS DOES HAVE AN INTERNAL FOLDER FOR 2006, BUT NONE FOR 2000 0R 2001)
    Original (folder - same as "Modified")
    Thumb32Segment.data
    Thumb64Segment.data
    ThumbJPGSegment.data
    All of the photos (so far) that appear to not open are from 2001 and earlier. They are also photos that were taken with an old digital camera, and have file names such as "3 - 141" rather than the more current file naming conventions (but I didn't name these photos - iPhoto did, based on the original roll imports.
    I'm finding it extremely frustrating that iPhoto wasn't upgraded in a way that took into account how previous versions of iPhoto itself worked!.
    Nevermind that I've submitted multiple bug reports about the fact that iPhoto continues to crash every time I try to empty the trash folder, and have heard not a peep out of Apple.
    iMac G5; PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi Samantha,
    I know it must be frustrating. there is some info in the iPhoto Help files for missing photos:
    "What to do about a missing photo
    When you import or edit photos in iPhoto, they are saved in the iPhoto Library folder, located in the Pictures folder on your computer.
    If you move, delete, or otherwise change a photo in the iPhoto Library folder, and then open the iPhoto application and try to edit or use that photo, iPhoto may not be able to find it. You will see the missing photo indicator instead (shown below).
    To find or replace a missing photo:
    If you have the original photo file, either on a CD or on your computer, just import it again into iPhoto. For more information, see Related Topics below.
    If you don't have the original photo, or you are trying to find an edited version, try one of the following options.
    Click your computer's Trash icon (not iPhoto Trash) and see if the photo is still in there.
    Do a search.
    To search within the iPhoto Library folder, open your Pictures folder and then open your iPhoto Library folder. From there, click Command-F, choose Images from the Any pop-up menu, and enter a search term.
    To search all your files and folders, in the Finder, choose File > Find and enter a search term.
    IMPORTANT: When you find the photo file, don't drag it directly into the iPhoto Libary folder. Save it to your desktop, then import it back into iPhoto from there.
    If you don't know the file name, try going back to the original iPhoto Library folder and look at the other images. If one is missing in a numerical order, it may be the photo you're looking for and you can search for it. If that doesn't work, try searching on the date you think you moved the file, or the date you last edited it."
    As far as your file structure, those loose year folders (if empty) can be deleted or dragged to the trash.
    If the Year folders have photos in them that are missing from your library, drag them to the desktop and import the photos into iPhoto.
    Here is how the library should look and what the folders contain.
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
    As far as the trash is concerned, move most of the photos back into the library and delete a few at a time, then empty iPhoto's trash.
    Some people have found success on making sure the trash folder is highlighted then go to iPhoto>empty trash.

  • Web Galleries from before MobileMe missing from iPhoto

    All of my web galleries from before the MobileMe upgrade are missing from the iPhoto left panel. They all show up online at gallery.mac.com and gallery.me.com and in iPhoto under Preferences>Web Gallery>"Albums you published as. The one gallery created after the MobileMe upgrade does show up in iPhoto left panel. Can I re-sync the galleries? or is this a bug?

    All of my galleries that existed before the changeover are still in my library. Must be something other than just a changeover issue. Look in the iPhoto/Web Gallery preferences to see if they are still listed there.
    Do you still have the albums you used to create the galleries? You might have to recreate and republish them with the same gallery name.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library or of the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Facebook is missing from the 'Share' menu

    I have successfully moved my iPhoto library to Photos. I wish to upload some pictures to Facebook, but under the Share button, my only options are 'iCloud Photo Sharing' and 'More' - which only opens the settings.
    Under 'Internet Accounts' inside System Preferences, I am logged into all of my social media accounts, Facebook, Twitter etc.
    Any ideas why Facebook isn't appearing in Photos? I could always upload to Facebook from iPhoto......

    I have this issue when I select too many photos. Try selecting ~30 photos instead of a whole album. When I do this, I have the option.
    It's annoying that it can't do all of them at once. Has anyone found a fix for this?

  • IPhoto deleted facebook albums also deleted iPhoto albums.

    I hope someone can help me out.
    I started up iPhoto after deleting a lot of pictures from Facebook. It stated something like do you want to import the pictures from facebook albums? I was like no because they are already on my iMac but not it seems they are gone.
    Is there any way to fix this? I have a time machine back-up but it happened about a month ago.
    Thank you in advance.

    As documented iPhoto syncs with FB so changes made to photos uploaded from IP to FB in either place are reflected in the other - deleting from FB also deletes from that album in iPhoto

  • Photos missing from iPhoto 11

    A random assortment of photos that I use to teach have gone missing from my iPhoto library.  They were present when I showed them to my class last week, and when I tried to display the same photos again this week, they were gone.  One big block of missing photos is from the same date; a few others are from different dates.  I have tried rebuilding the library--no luck.  The original files are not in the Masters folder, either.  I know I didn't delete them manually because A) I have never emptied the trash from within iPhoto (everything I've ever placed in the trash is still there), and B) I know better than to mess with the Library package. 
    I'm guessing at this point that the photos are just plain gone, but can anyone explain how or why?  Is there anything I might have done inadvertently to cause the disappearance?  Is this a known issue with iPhoto?  It's driving me crazy.  Thanks.

    Others have inadvertantly deleted photos via the Finder and the My Photos item in the left hand pane of each Finder window. 
    It's not an iPhoto issue.  Those original photos were deleted from the hard drive somehow but not by iPhoto.  You can get a library without those "missing" photo thumbnails as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Is there any way to recover these albums so that they go back on facebook? Preferably with any comments people left on facebook intact? Thanks.
