Facebook albums not showing all photos in iPhoto

I'm trying to export all of the photos (several hundred) from Facebook to iPhoto. Facebook is having difficulty creating an archive, and rather than wait for them to fix whatever that problem is I'm trying to import them directly using the Facebook connector in iPhoto.
I added the account and it shows up in the list of Web albums. However, when the account is opened, only three albums are present (instead of six) with a total of five photos (instead of hundreds). Does anyone have any suggestions for what to check to make sure that iPhoto is connecting properly and how to get the photos from Facebook imported into iPhoto?
Please don't suggest downloading each photo individually, I don't have time to right click several hundred photos one at a time.

The only Facebook albums that will appear in iPhoto will be manually created ones. Auto-created albums by other apps or Facebook itself (Instagram, Mobile Uploads, Wall Album, etc) won't appear. Are those the ones missing?

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • Aperture is not showing all photos in photo stream.

    Aperture is not showing all photos in photo stream.  I have re-set photo stream from within the aperture app, but it only downloads a small fraction of my photo stream.  Any ideas?

    Sorry but you're wrong, as the article that you quoted pointed out
    Since your Mac has more storage than your iOS devices, your photos automatically download and your Mac keeps every photo from your Photo Stream by default

  • Photo Sharing not showing all photos via Apple TV 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Have Apple TV, 3rd gen, latest update of the software. Running 10.8.5 on a mid 2009 MacBookPro. When I select a few smart albums from iPhoto 09 (v. 8.1.2) and then select those albums to share/stream to my Apple TV via iTunes (11.1.3) only a few of the photos show up; in the 3 albums I have selected to share/stream there are in excess of 500 photos. However, when I have my photos selected as the slideshow/screensaver in my Apple TV, only a few photos show up, less than 100, and then the slide show starts to repeat itself.
    Any ideas why it's not showing every photo in the albums I have selected to stream/share?
    Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
    David

    Are you mixing slideshows and screen savers up, screen savers won't show all the photos in a large collection.

  • Events not showing all photos.

    I am running iPhoto '11 on OSX 10.7.4  Some events are not showing all the photos.  The files are there when I look in finder at the original file.  I've tried rebuilding the library but that didnt work. Any suggestions?

    No I have not... I'm hoping for an upcoming update release soon...

  • Lightroom not showing all photos avail for import

    About a week ago, I tried to import some new photos into LR 3 (3.4.1 to be exact), and the import dialogue does not show all the photos that should be available for import.
    The files are on my hard drive and there are approximately 200 photos in the file folder. When I open LR's import dialogue to import the photos (after navigating to the proper location to import from of course), it shows me 17 of the photos in the file folder! I selected "all" instead of "new" to see if that would make a difference and it did not. I made sure I did not have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, even closed LR and rebooted my computer.... that didn't work.
    I tried creating a new catalog to see if that would fix the issue, and it did not.
    I'm not sure what else to try, or if there is a known fix out there (having a heck of a time finding one in my internet search!)
    Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Okay, so for giggles I tried checking in the Bridge to see if that changed anything... and it only showed the few files too. So I decided to "select all" and noticed at the bottom left that it listed the balance of my photos as "hidden." I have no idea how my files got hidden, or why it was only some and not others... but at least it's all fixed now and I can get back to what I need to do in LR!

  • IPhoto not showing all photos

    I have iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3.  Some time ago I noticed that certain events in the event view were showing up with zero photos in the event, with a gray palm tree sunset as the key photo of that event.  When I go to import pictures from my camera, iPhoto reports that photos in the camera are duplicates of photos already imported, but it shows a blank for the imported photo.  Since iPhoto seems to know they are there, I don't re-import. When I go to the Finder and look for the "missing" photos, they are there in the iPhoto Library (under Masters).  So, my question is, why does iPhoto know they are there but can't show them?  And how do I fix it?  And BTW, they have not been made hidden in iPhoto.

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (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.

  • IPhoto Places map home button does not show all photo locations in one extent

    I recently started populating location information for my photos in iPhoto 2011. Some are pre-loaded from my iPhone, but I also manually added locations for other photos/events. Now I have locations assigned both in the U.S. and in Europe, but when I try to view them all in one extent (via the "home" location button on the Places map), the map centers on Europe and I can't even see the U.S. Did I accidentally change a setting for the "home" location on the map? I cannot find a menu that shows options for the "home" location. Is it possible that locations are too far away from each other to see them all at once? If so, is there a way to reset the center of the map so I don't have to pan over from Europe every time I want to look at the U.S. locations (which is 99% of the time)?
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I think I figured it out.
    It appears that the iPhoto Places map centers on the extent with the greatest number of individually geo-tagged photos. Rather than centering the map to the area in the middle of all your locations (i.e. one location, one "point"), it actually prioritizes locations by how many individually tagged photos are at that location (i.e. one location, many potential "points").
    Secondarily it may be a screen size issue. When I falsely tag a bunch of photos in Hawaii, then I can only see HI and mainland U.S. (no Asia or Europe).
    I guess Apple assumes you'll want to see most where you have the most tagged photos. This is unfortunate, however, as I tend to tag overseas locations by the entire Event (many photos placed at one location) vs my domestic photos which may or may not have locations. I guess it'll even out over time, but still, it would be nice to be able to set a specific "home" location or viewing extent.

  • IPhone is not getting all photos from iPhoto during sync

    One particular album in iPhoto is only showing as having 3 photos in iTunes and only syncs those 3 to the iPhone. The album actually has 9 photos, but I can't get the other 6 to sync up. Any thoughts or experience with this problem?

    Got it. I had to export and then drop the photos back in the album. Lost all the notes i had put on them, but at least now they show up in the album in iTuens and synch to the iPhone.

  • "Library" view does not show ALL photos

    My "Library" view is not showing me the last 2 rolls I imported. If I click on the specific year views, I can see the photos, but I expect all photos are displayed in the "Library" view.
    While still running iPhoto 5, I imported a roll of images from disk that included photos taken at the end of Dec 2005 and in Jan 2006. These are the photos that do not show in the "Library" view. This was happening with iPhoto 5 and is still happening with iPhoto 6.
    Any suggestions for getting all photos to shwo in the "Library" view ?
    Thanks,
    Eliot

    Thanks -- I figured out my problem...
    Since iPhoto now seems to group items into "rolls", I had imported images from several different dates. The first image was from Sep'05, so it placed ALL the images imported, even those from Jan'06, with the Sep'05 photo in the middle of of my "Library" view.
    Is there a way to have the "Library" view sort in date order instead of by imported roll ?
    Thanks,
    Eliot

  • "all photos" album not including all photos. Causing some photo not to be uploaded to iCloud Photo Library

    After updating to iCloud photo library (iPhone 5, iOS 8.1), if I look at my "photos" tab I see over 700 photos, but in the  'all photos' album I only have 420. This results in only 420 of the photos uploaded to iCloud Photo library and not clearing much space off of my iPhone.

    The FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
    Apple I hope you SORT this out soon

  • ICloud photo stream does not show all photos

    I have 1000 photos is my photo stream, however on my Apple TV I just setup, I can only get 322 to show up in the iCloud Photo Stream. I've tried restoring and setting it up again, but I have the exact same numbers of photos.
    Is there a reason I can only see 322 out of 1000 photos in my photo stream on the Apple TV?

    I noticed the Apple TV was not displaying my photo stream after the update to 6.0. Here is what I did to get it to start displaying my photo stream again.
    On your Apple TV go to Settings>iCloud
    Click on iCloud Photo Settings
    Turn off both the My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing options then turn them back on again
    Select Photo Stream from the Settings menu and navigate to select the photo stream you want to use
    Preview the slide show
    I have about 400 images in the photo stream that I use to display on Apple TV and during the preview it took about two minutes before the images displayed.
    Then I tested it in a normal setting where I have slide show starting after two minutes. The TV went to screensaver mode after two minutes and was black for about two minutes before the images appeared. Before the update the images would display shortly after the screensaver kicked on.
    I hope this helps!

  • Screensaver not showing all photos in an iPhoto smart album

    Got a weird problem here, done some searching around but can't find a fix.
    I have created a smart album in iPhoto 11. This correctly displays 95 photos across multiple events, based on a string match to the event name.
    However, if I use this smart album for a desktop or screensaver, it only displays 8 photos, all from the oldest event that is in the smart folder.
    Anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

    Is Aperture the only app being affected? How does your desktop look? Have you rebooted your systems since this started happening? What is your display setting in System Preferences?
    If it's only affecting Aperture its most likely the plist file ~/Library/Preference/com.apple.Aperture.plist.
    You should move that to the desktop and restart Aperture. Not sure what file you deleted but moving the plist file won't remove any images from the library. Also take a look at the rest o the troubleshooting tips in [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]

  • Smrt album not syncing all photos to iPhone

    I made a smart album today, and then chose to sync that smart album to my iPhone from iTunes.  However, iTunes syncs only 5 photos.  Aperture tells me there are 86 photos. 
    I figured the problem was that only 5 photos had previews generated.  However, I have used the Update Preview function on 6 photos, as well as the Generate Preview function on 6 photos.  However, iTunes still says there are only 5 photos in the smart album.  (I chose 6 photos because in the best case for my test, I would get 6 new previews, while in the worst case I would get 1 new preview.  In any case, I would get some new previews.)
    When I use iPhoto to "Show Aperture Library", I see only 5 photos as well.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this smart album to sync?  Am I on the right track with the previews?
    thanks,
    nathan

    Huskte,
    Yes, other albums sync, although I have only 1 other album selected.  The rest of the Aperture -> iPhone integration is done by iTunes's "All projects within the past x days" selection.  Come to think of it, I'm not sure if they are all there...  I will have to check that out.
    Good suggestion, however, I'm pretty darn sure it doesn't have to do with the iPod Photo cache.  I tested the Aperture sharing capability by looking at this smart album through iPhoto, and it (like iTunes) says only 5 photos are in the smart album.  It's something to check when I get back to the mac, though.
