Facebook export hangs at "pending"

So ive been trying to upload 3 photos to a new album and iPhoto keeps hanging on pending. If click on Facebook on the left of the iPhoto window I can see all of my current albums on Facebook, so I know it is connecting correctly. I've tried to upload them to a current album as well, and that doesn't work either. Any ideas?

Nothing worked on the standard support list. I ended up deleting the albums (after copying the pictures to another non-facebook folder so I wouldnt have to go find them again) and then re created and it worked fine. note - I had tried to add a new album prior to deleting the old ones and that DIDNT work. Seems like the current albums corrupted the whole data stream.
Oh yeah - meant to point out I'm still on iphoto 9 - waiting for all the bad stuff with iphoto 11 to get resolved. Starting to wonder if Apple has hired too many microsoft engineers...

How do I remove the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto?

Hello,
I have recently installed v1.0.8 of Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, and it hangs on the first picture I attempt to upload. It is unusable. I had found the previous version 1.0.6 which worked great and downloaded that, and subsequently attempted to install it. However, the installer errors out stating that there is already a previous version installed. The v1.0.6 and v1.0.8 installers, do not have an uninstall feature either. Direct support for this package is impossible from the developer.
I'm asking if anyone could lay out exactly what I need to remove in order that I can proceed with downgrading to the v1.0.6 once again. I have asked in other forums(not here) and have had only "upgrade all your software to the latest versions and everything should work" answers, which were and are completely useless. If an upgrade is required of something, please be specific as to why.
Note that, I have already performed this function as outlined here, http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=222897111055523, which simply describes deleting a folder in their install directory. This has not worked, meaning the removal has worked, however reinstalling the previous version envokes the error about a later version.
Versions involved;
MacBook Pro, 2.53ghz, core 2 duo
MacOS v10.6.8
iPhoto '09, v8.1..2 (424)
Thanks,
Mark

FaceBook export and iPhone Sync

I have used the FaceBook exporter for iPhoto and the exporter for Aperture. The former works fine the latter hangs. Insofar as it seems to usually manage to send the images, though not always, but the export activity just gets stuck going round and round and I have to cancel in the activity window. I have uninstalled the plug in and installed a newly downloaded version but no success. Am I alone?
Am I alone in using Aperture and iPhoto side by side, each being suited to a particular kind of task (work/leisure etc)? If not, does anyone know a way to be able to sync selected Aperture AND iPhoto images to an iPhone? It is very irksome having to to select certain images in one and move them across to the other, just so I can take the images I want with me on the road.

Hey Kakgungor,
What problem are you having? I have been able to use the Facebook uploader with not too many hiccups except a few recent ones.
1. Sometimes what is uploaded from Aperture is the unrotated, unedited pictures. Also, long version names from Aperture (which stupidly sync as the caption) tend to cause this, in my experience. I had to create new versions from the masters and apply the adjustments again, then upload only went smoothly when I left the version name as-is and edited later.
2. When albums don't load completely to Facebook, often you get "missing" image markers in your Facebook album, even after re-syncing.
3. Tags/Faces don't really sync back & forth that well. I'm still testing this out.
Share with us your problem so we can figure something out and maybe write bug reports to Apple & Facebook & Flickr.

Problems with exporting after Facebook export installation

Hi there,
I installed the Facebook exporter app and then discovered my iPhoto is too old (it is iPhoto 4). Thereafter I was unable to export anything because my mac would crash. So I uninstalled the app and since then my normal export button is missing. I found a forum on this site, where the same problem was solved, but this was for someone with iLife 08 and required a reinstallation from disk.
The problem is, I bought OS X 10.5 recently but not iLife, so my iPhoto etc is from the old days. I would be totally, infinitely and unbelievably grateful if someone could help me out here, because I currently cannot export anything from iPhoto. Which disk do I use for reinstallation? When I bought my mac it had 10.3 on it. How do I reinstall iPhoto when my operating system is new? Help!
Cheers,
Kerry

Thanks for that - unfortunately I have lost disk number 1 and can only find disk number 2. Honestly, I never thought I'd need them, and they've been packed and unpacked at least 4 times since I bought the computer.
I am trying to get the disk from mac friends - I'll see what happens. If anyone knows how to get hold of these old disks, or another work-around, I'd be very grateful...
cheers and thanks again,
Kerry

Facebook Export Shows Partial Album List

I am using Facebook Exporter with the latest version of Bridge, and the latest Export modules. Both Bridge and the Modules themselves have been updated as of today. I've been able to successfully export to Facebook, but the issue is that the Albums window does not display all of my albums. There are more than 5 albums missing from the list. Anyone have the same issue?

HAVE probelm with the FACEBOOK EXPORT too
when I first installed it did not work at all
then it did- it seemed to me a log in issue-
whenit worked it was GREAT! I never has the problem of not seeing the album names, it always logged me out of FB for my next visit
however every photo I uploaded to FB from Bridge export is now gone!! last two days
All the albums created in the Bridge interface are gone and all the pictures into other albums that were not uploaded by Bridge are still in FB but not any I added via Bridge
using CS5
tried to update modules says no updates
using win xp sp3
error I get when trying to connect to FB is
   "error": {
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "message": "Error validating application."

Problems with the Facebook Exporter in iPhoto 08

Has anybody successfully used the Facebook Exporter plugin for iPhoto? Every time I try to upload multiple photos, it has a bar saying "Exporting 1/{whatever number}", but then comes up with the following error:
"Couldn't upload photo "{photo number}" because an unknown error occurred."
...and it gives me the option of:
"Back to Facebook Exporter" or "Review Facebook Album"
...if I click on the latter, it goes to Facebook and shows that the first Photo has indeed uploaded successfully. So I've been going through doing it one at a time but that is pretty tedius!
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? It doesn't matter what the photo's are, it does it every time.
Cheers.
AD.

Must have been a dodgy version of the exporter as having downloaded an update it works fine...

Aperture 3 and Facebook exporting??? doesn't update

So I tried the new Facebook exporter from Aperture 3. You can only put pics in a new Facebook album, or drag them into an album that you have created from within Aperture 3. But when I add photos by dragging them, they do not show up on Facebook. Aperture 3 says they are there, but they are not on Facebook. How do I add photos to an album? Anyone else have this bug in Aperture 3?

After you drag new photos into the Facebook album, you have to click on the little radar-wave-looking icon to re-sync the album. I think there is a setting somewhere to make it auto-refresh, but by default they're manually synced.
It's annoying that you can't seem to connect to an existing Facebook album. Hopefully they'll fix that.
It would also be nice if you could connect to more than 1 Facebook account (I don't think you can) -- my wife and I keep our shared photo collection on Aperture, but I think only one of us can use it to sync photos to Facebook.

Any way to stop facebook exporter from using version names as the caption

I tried the Aperture 3 facebook export and it is using the version names as the caption. If I change the caption on facebook it then changes the version name in my aperture library when it syncs with facebook. Is there anyway to have it use the caption meta data field instead? You would think if they had that option for mobile me they would have it for FB too.

Add me to the list of people interested by this issue - but AFAIK there is no way to change this. Let's hope Apple fixes this soon.

Aperture 3: multiple export hangs while generating thumbnails?

Sigh. I was almost ready to write a blog post claiming that while AP3 has its share of bugs, it's not the unusable mess some have painted it to be. This morning I'm no so sure anymore. I think this is stellar update with tons of potential. When it works it screams on my machine and the new features are amazing. But guys, i need the basics to work.
Here's what I've just sent t via the feedback form:
I've been trying to export 29 pictures in web format for the past 40 minutes. I've had to force-quit AP three times and restart my machine twice. Aperture starts exporting at a normal pace but then completely hangs on a "generating thumbnails" process. At this point it becomes impossible to either cancel the task or quit Aperture normally. It also kicks my iMac's fan into overdrive - something that NEVER happens.
This is not good.
Other problems:
- random crashes while using brushes.
- second display doesn't follow "blank" command and keeps reverting to "alternate" even when the menu says Blank.
This is a great version of Aperture with a lot of potential. These bugs are killing me though.
I've just rebuilt the database. If it's still not working I'm going to remove plugins and see if it helps.
Anyone else having problems with this?

Absolutely has to be a bug. This isn't a setting or configuration problem. It might even be a Snow Leopard problem. I had the same problems with A2.1.4 on SL as I do with version A3.0.1. Export hangs seem to happen on images that came from my A2 library that was imported into A3 but originally adjusted in A2. These images were imported from scanned TIFF files. If the adjustment mechanism was flawed in prior Aperture versions then Apple needs to create and distribute a utility that converts these images into something that A3 can use.
I will have to revert to A2 running on Leopard until Apple can get this fixed. If I cannot export, there is no point in running the software. On this discussion thread, we are just trying to fly by flapping our arms.

Scheduled export hangs very often

Hi friends,
I've scheduled export running on DB server-Windows. I've created a batch file with export commands for about 5 databases and scheduled the job to run this batch file every night around 9 pm.
But, the export hangs quite often atleast 1-2 night a week with this message and when I come in the morning I had to hit enter for it to proceed:
batch file: (I've replaced the username,pwd etc in the below cmd, cannot provide on the forums...)
exp system/pwd@db1 file=exp_db1_full.dmp log=exp_db1_full.log full=y buffer=400000

EXP-00028: failed to open dbname_user.dmp for write
Export file: EXPDAT.DMP >It hangs mostly for db3,db4 or db5 exports.. Not consistent either. Just stops with this command. Please give me your suggestions...
Thanks a lot

It could be a couple of issues:
1. The file you gave it may be maxing out size wise and since there is no other file to use, exp builds the default file
expdat.dmp and prompts the user to make sure it is ok to use that file. To get around this, you could add a second
filename to the exp commands. If this happens for more than one job, you are overwriting the expdat.dmp file from the
previous job.
2. If for some reason it can't open that file, it would prompt for the expdat.dmp file.
So, by hitting <cr> when prompted, your exp job will write to the expdat.dmp file. It would be interesting to look at the size of the expdat.dmp file and the size of the file you thought the export was going to write to.

Datapump export hangs

Hi Gurus in the house,
I am using putty to access my database server, and I am trying to export the full database into a directory I created. The problem is that the export hangs at a particular place. My oracle version is 10.2 and I have used both system and a regular user (with exp_full_databse privilege) to do the export several times. The job runs but hangs at the same place and I have a deadline approaching to get export done on this machine and 2 other ones with same problem.
What can i do in this situation? Thanks folks and happy thanksgiving in advance.
BJ

You will be able to run the datapump import with trace option to see what is happenning. If it is running now, you can also use <ctrl>+c, run "status" command, it will show you what it is doing currently.

Facebook exporter for iPhoto 11 problem!

I previously had installed the Facebook exporter for iPhoto and it worked fine. It always showed up as a tab in File Export. Now with Iphoto 11 the tab for facebook has disappeared. I went to the download page for it again to reinstall it and when I go through the installation process and it asks where to install I have the exclamation mark on my Mac hard drive with the following error. "Facebook exporter for iPhoto can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this software already exists on this disk.
I went to plugins and removed it yet I still get this error on reinstallation. Why won't the exporter work anymore or install?
I like this much better than the built in one on iPhoto as it lets me caption each photo before I upload.

I found the problem
It seems the version of facebook exporter found on the applesite is an older one.
I downloaded a newer version on versiontracker and that fixed it.
tha one I am using now is facebook exporter iphoto v 1.0.5
cheers

LR 3.2 Facebook Export Error

Hello everyone,
I keep getting a "Failed to Retrieve item info" when I try to publish my photos using Lightroom's facebook export publish feature. I was able to use it a month ago but every time that I try to publish new albums to facebook it gives me that error. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling lightroom, tried uninstalling the facebook exporting option from lightroom, tried reauthenticating to facebook and nothing works.
Does anyone have a fix for this? A lot of my clients like it when I upload pictures for Facebook but I haven't been able to do so in a long time.
If it's any concern, I'm currently using an Apple Macbook Pro 15" i7 and x64 lightroom 3.2.
Does anyone have a fix so that I don't get that error and can publish to facebook again?

I found too that the publishing services work differently than the plug-ins. Not as intuitive, but work well just the same, For me I had to do the "set-up" for the Facebook publishing service a couple of times. I think this may have more to do with the Facebook security settings than with LR.

Facebook Export freezes Aperture

Every time I try to export to Facebook Aperture freezes any ideas. PS No thumbnails appear in the export window.
I am now running on Snow Leopard

Philip,
I'm right there with ya. I'm experiencing the same thing. I emailed Sean Farley and received the following response:
+"I have stopped working on+
+0.5.2 and have rebuilt it from scratch. Although it is not quite ready+
+for release at the moment because I have been busy with my PhD.+
+The core difference between the two (besides the fact that I wrote the+
+Aperture one and not the iPhoto one) is the way that Aperture loads+
+its plugins. Basically, the fact that Aperture puts each plugin in its+
+own NSRunLoop is good but unfortunately, NSURL was not design for that+
+(ask Apple as to why, I have no idea). This makes it a little spotty+
+for maintaining a url connection. This is drastically improved in the+
+new version, though. In comparison, the export plugin for Flickr has+
+its own NSURL that Fraser wrote himself. This is definitely not going+
+to be in the Facebook exporter unless he opens up that code.+
+Sorry for the late reply and the sorta bad news :-/+
Sean"
Not sure when the new version is coming out. Let me know if you find any other workarounds.
Chris
