Facebook albums

hi,
I just had a simple question, is it possible to display a user's facebook photo albums on flash?
I have a flash site where i would like to include my albums, i knwo this means that the viewer needs to have a facebook account logged in
thank you

You can - "photo album" API call returns just the list of albums (no images) so you probably want "photo" API call. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/

Any way to get iPhoto'09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?

Is there any way to get iPhoto '09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?
It would be nice to have all the previous albums I've uploaded to be listed in iPhoto and all the 100's of people I've already tagged would serve as a nice basis for the iPhoto face detection to learn who my friends are!

This is an interesting workaround, but misses the spirit of the original post. I don't know a way to get iPhoto '09 to recognize existing FB albums, but I agree that this is a serious problem with iPhoto '09.
The iPhoto '09 Facebook and Flickr uploaders have one "cool" feature - they automatically sync iPhotos events with FB "albums" or Flickr "sets", so if you make changes to the photos in iPhoto, then those changes are reflected in the photos on FB and Flickr automagically (this has been working for me in FB but not in Flickr). The more I use this the more I think it's more trouble than it is useful and I wish I could turn it off and just use the old exporters without syncing.
There are problems with the exporters:
(1) the constant syncing with FB/Flickr can get annoying if you're making several changes, if you have a slow internet connection or slow computer.
(2) If you don't actually want the changes to be reflected in the FB/Flickr album (i.e. i delete photos out of iPhoto to make room on my disk for more photos and now the photos are deleted out of facebook) can get not as user friendly as the original Facebook and Flickr exporter was easier and more user-friendly.
(3) syncing is cool for a computer programmer to do, but what if users don't want it all the time? What if I don't want my Facebook albums to be exactly the same as my iPhoto albums, and I don't want to split out all the photos that I don't want on Facebook into separate events in iPhoto? This lack of support for the truly useful & user friendly (if a bit boring) features is a really unfortunate oversight.
(3a) in the old version: i can quickly and easily choose exactly which photos from which events I want to upload to FB.
(3b) as the original questioner mentioned: I can choose whether to upload to into a *new or existing album*. Hands down, this was *the single best feature* of the previous uploaders.
(in Flickr this is of paramount importance since the free Flickr account only allows 3 "sets" - so, since this fancy iPhoto syncing links your events to sets in Flickr, you'd have to create 3 massive Flickr-only events in iPhoto in order to stay within their restrictions. I like to keep my iPhotos events separate, but I'm perfectly happy uploading photos from different events into one of my three Flickr sets. i'm pretty sure i can still do this with FFXporter or similar.)
(3b) in the old version: all the photos i upload are put into a "pending" album on FB so that I can tag people, delete some photos (without deleting them off my own iPhoto), etc. before sharing them with all my friends. I'd like to have at least the option to choose whether they go into a pending album first or not.
(3c) it's further annoying that you cannot browse your iPhoto library directly (from most websites) when searching for photos to upload, you have to export the files first, then browse to where the photos were exported.

Contextual Share to Facebook Album - Limited Albums Listed

Using 10.8.2, I am attempting to share several photos to existing albums in Facebook. When I select the photos and pick the Share to Facebook via option-click, I only see a few of my Facebook albums. Why are only a few (not all) listed? How can I make all of them appear?

I dislike that Aperture creates its own album on Facebook, where it posts your "Wall" photos. Ordinarily wall photos on Facebook are not part of a particular album, and if you uploaded several in a short period of time, they would appear as separate posts, and not as an album update. But if you do it from Aperture, they are grouped together as an album update, which can ruin the effect. I haven't found a workaround except to export to your desktop (or other folder) and manually upload to the FB wall.

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?

Don't change the iPhoto album in the facebook section of the source pane - any changes made to those albums will be synced to Facebook

Tagging Facebook albums created in Aperture not working

I'm trying to publish a Facebook album from within Aperture (3.6), and am having trouble getting the tags to stick in Facebook. When I go visit the album on Facebook, the tags are there, but not actually linked to the people. For example My friend John Doe, would be tagged in the photo in grey writing, but it is not a clickable link, and when I go to John's Facebook page, he hasn't been tagged in it.
I suspect the issue is related to this forum post: Facebook contacts not syncing
When I go to John Doe's Faces entry, it shows the correct contacts entry.
When I go to the contacts entry, it has his Facebook profile under the "Facebook" field, but there is no small F under his contact picture, and when I tell os X to update all profile pictures his does not get updated. Also, it seems that my Facebook syncing is not syncing all my Facebook friends, only a select few, who I suspect meet the criteria discussed in the above thread. So, what I suspect is happening, is that Aperture thinks that John's faces entry is connected to a Facebook account (possibly from some legacy link with contacts) but Facebook's new policy is making it so that John's contact is not being synced from Facebook to iCloud.
I can't figure out a way to manually link his contact card to his Facebook account. Entering his Facebook homepage web address does nothing as far as I can tell.
Any help would be appreciated. It ***** spending all the time tagging faces in aperture and then having to re-do it in Facebook.
PS: Running Yosemite, all programs up to date as of nov 22, 2014
Edited for spelling

It shows for me within a minute. I don't have Facebook enabled. I would:
- reboot and see if that forces the tieing of any loose ends, and thus allows this feature to work
- maybe try it on a new Library, or a Library used in another User Account on your machine
- see if someone who does use Facebook tries the feature and reports on whether it works
I'm confident Library size/number of Images is not part of the issue, unless you have several thousand named Faces.
Just to make sure we are "on the same page": you go to Contacts, select a contact, double-click the picture assigned to that contact, and never see "Faces" in this dialog:

Galleries Merge when updating Facebook album with tags.

The problem that I have is that when i try to update a facebook album with the faces I have reconized and have them with there email account so facebook can auto tag them they merge diferente faces galleries. They are in teh same album but I really don't know why this happens.
Someone else?

I have this exact same problem and it is very difficult to find something. This thread and one in macrumors is the only thing I have found with no anwers yet.
I thought it was an iPhoto 09 problem, and so I called customer service, but they told me it was more a facebook problem than an Apple one. This is in fact true, and to prove it I did the following:
Using the same computer, the same iPhoto 09, I uploaded the same photos to my wife's account and my own account. This was done separately and just for test reasons. With my wife's account, there was no problem at all, all tags done nicely, everything perfect. With my account though, I got multiple tags for the same person in a single picture. Even worse, everytime I start iPhoto my photos were re-tagged so I ended up with several dozens of tags.
Then I checked and everything in the facebook account settings was exactly the same for both accounts. The only difference between the two is that mine was created two days ago, while my wife's been there for two years.
So I created a new account for my daughter, again just for test reasons, and my daughter's has the same issue of multiple tags for a single face.
This made me conclude the Apple representative was really honest when he says it's a facebook problem. But I beg you that if you find any solution, please post it anywhere here. This is driving me nuts.
Best regards

Importing pics from a friend's Facebook album - poor resolution

I am making a photo book in iPhoto and am saving pictures from a Facebook albums ... but resolution is too poor to use. Any suggestions??

Only one. Don't use photos from facebook albums. When a pic is uploaded to Facebook it is "processed", which means almost all the metadata is stripped away and it is heavily compressed. Simply, they are such poor quality that they won't print well.

IPhoto interacting with Facebook Albums...

I just reorganized all of my facebook photos into new albums. I wanted to upload some more photos directly from iPhoto but it is NOT recognizing any of my new albums. How do I get it to bring in the names of these new albums so I can use them properly? Is it some kind of re-booting I need to do?? Preferences??
Thank you...

That is not the way it works
You can not "link" iPhoto to existing Facebook albums - you create them in iPhoto and then there is bi-directional syncing between that album in facebook and iPhoto. If you create albums in Facebook you can not manage them from iPhoto - only albums created in iPhoto

IPhoto and Facebook Albums

I just transferred my iPhoto library to my new MacBook Pro. I can see my Facebook albums in iPhoto on my new Mac. I need to delete all my photos on my old Mac. Will this delete them from Facebook too? Thanks! I don't want to delete my photos on the old Mac until I know the answer!

Are you going to continue using iPhoto on yoru old Mac? As documented changes made to the ihoto library are synced to Facebook -- if you simply trash the iPhoto library on the old mac then nothing will be changed in FB - if you delete them using iPhoto then then changes will be synced

IPhoto 11 trying to delete my facebook albums?

This is quite odd, but I just tried to publish a new photo album on Facebook via iPhoto 11. When I selected "publish a new album" it displayed a message saying that album X , Y, Z, etc., will be deleted.
Is there some way around this? Pretty strange :s
The even odder thing is that I still have the albums on my iPhoto album

Same thing happened to me too starting today. No new settings or anything. Spontaneously started to delete albums. Weird.
Here is the work-around that worked for me (for now anyway). I opened iPhoto preferences and deleted my facebook account- a warning came up that all facebook albums would be deleted from my application (not fb itself). Why not? I reopened iPhoto, I then went to 'share' another album with fb, the app asked fb account info and after a few minutes (during which the album did not upload) the app went back to the main iPhoto album page. I tried to upload the fotos again, this time all my regular fb albums reappeared in iPhoto and the current album uploaded without any problem. We shall see if this occurs again.
Good luck!

Iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Will my Facebook albums remain?

I just upgraded my computer to yosemite and that includes the iPhoto application.
After opening iPhoto it says "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto." I'm worried that if I chose to upgrade I will 1. lose all my photos and 2. have my synced facebok albums taken off Facebook.
One time I moved my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and lost all my Facebook album photos so I don't want to make the same mistake.
So does anyone know if I chose to go through with this upgrade will I lose my photos in the iPhoto and the synced albums on Facebook? If I do lose photos, how do I go recover my previous iPhoto version?

Just to confirm. When I saved a copy of my iPhoto library on my external harddrive that's "backing-up" right?
Also, is there anyway on Facebook to tell which albums are synced with my iPhoto so that I know which ones will be gone if something does go wrong?
Sorry one more question Larry. I keep reading issues people are having with upgrading their iPhoto to 9.6 and the upgraded iPhoto does not recognize their library (see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6676471). If this happens to me and I have to repair or re-install my iPhoto will my Facebook albums be affected?
Thanks for your help Larry I appreciate it

3.6 won't display facebook album cover pics/ windows 7/ explorer does

New laptop with Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6. So far, facebook album cover pics and thumbnails do not display under profile pics tab, although individual pics display. By comparison, eBay pics and thumbnails display correctly. On same computer same problem does NOT occur from Explorer.

It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Deleting photos in stacks that are in facebook albums

If I delete a photo A from a project, it sometimes says 'this photo is in an album... are you sure' or similar.
This happens is A is in the same stack as B, when B is an album pick in a facebook album.
A is not published to facebook, it's just in the same stack as one that is.
This is annoying and frightening when I want to delete a bunch of photos. Any way to fix it?

You could just select the checkbox *Do not show this message again* in the popup.

How do I get iPhoto on new iPad to load all Facebook albums to select where to upload?

How do I get iPhoto on new iPad to load all Facebook albums to select where to upload?
Besides 'new album' , 'wall photos', or 'iPhoto Uploads' ... it only shows 24 pre-existing albums to choose. I need to see the other 50, 60, etc albums I have.
I've also noticed that iPhoto fails to load to certain albums with some 'Domin Exception' error of some kind (not sure the exact message).

You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.
