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 A newer version of this software already exists on this disk.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

  • Is there a secret place in my mac the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto is hiding?

    I recently installed Facebook Exporter for iPhoto 1.0.7 on my Mac OS X 10.6.8, with iPhoto version 7.1.5. It read the install was complete.
    I tried using the program and it didn't seem to synch with Facebook (says there's a connection error). After reading about numerous problems people have encountered with this plug-in, i decided to remove it.
    I've tried following the instructions to uninstall the plug-in, but I can't seem to find the file where it's supposed to be stored, in the Package Contents under iPhoto. As far as I can tell, the program did install because a Facebook option is still showing up in my iPhoto exports menu.
    My computer seems to be running slow and stalling since installing the plug-in and I just want to get rid of it once and for all. Please help. Thanks

    Download and run Find Any File to search for  files with "Facebook" in the file name.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. This will help you see where the plugin is located on your hard drive.
    But for a fix reggie has the correct suggestion, contact the developers.

  • 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

  • What happened to facebook exporter for iphoto?

    I keep getting an error when trying to share photos from iphoto to facebook. I have tried all the common things, but now I see that there is no longer facebook exporter for iphoto. I have had this Macbook Air since May, and was able to share photos via iphoto exporter to facebook, and now all of a sudden it is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had Iphoto exporter plugin installed previously and it would show up on file-export as an option. Then mysteriously it was gone as an option. I tried to download the plugin again from Cnet and when I try to install it I get and error saying "It can't be opened because of an inidentified developer my security preferences only allow installation of only apps from your Mac app store and identified developers"
    How do I turn off that security so I can reinstall it again. As for why my original install disappeared I am mystified about that. Why was it there one month and then poof gone the next month?
    I like that 3rd party plugin as it lets me caption all the photo's and rearrange the order and write a discription all in one application. It works better than the share button way of doing it to facebook.
    Is it not compatible with Iphoto 9.4.1?

  • 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.

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

  • Export for web problem

    hi, i've used the export for web option in quicktime pro but all i get when trying to play the movie is the quicktime logo with a question mark.. note that this is locally on my imac.. i've also tried uploading the folder on my server and play it from there to no extend.. i dont know what's going wrong.. the files exist and im even able to play them by scrolling down to the bottom of the ReadMe.html and clicking on one of the versions links directly..
    any advice?

    QuickTime Pro can play audio from MPEG-1 formats but can't extract it during export.
    Solution?
    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the MPEG-1 to other QuickTime formats.

  • Problems with Facebook application for iPhoto 6

    Unfortunately, I installed an application from facebook that was supposed to make importing from iPhoto to my facebook page much easier. It basically creates a new export tab next to "file export" that says "facebook", but all it does is make my iPhoto crash whenever I try and export and because the facebook tab is the default tab I can't export at all.
    Has anyone heard of this problem? Is there a way to un-install the facebook application?

    To uninstall: select iPhoto in the /Applications Folder and go File -> Get Info
    In the resulting pane, you'll see a panel called Plug-Ins
    You can disable and remove the unwanted plug there.

  • Universal export for iPhoto

    Hi all!
    Since I am switching to Lightroom I was looking for universal way to export my photos from iPhoto. It turns out something as simple as exporting albums to folders with album names doesn't exist (or I couldn't find it). Then I found GREAT UNIVERSAL exporter!
    http://www.n8gray.org/code/scriptexport
    You type in your script actions (unix command line knowledge required).
    For example to export album to folder with same name as album:
    Preflight: mkdir ~/Desktop/NEW/"$iPAlbumName"
    Per-Item: cp "$iPImageSourcePath" ~/Desktop/NEW/"$iPAlbumName"
    And volia
    You can easy script what you wish...FTP, SSH, format conversion.....
    Thank you Nathaniel!

    You type in your script actions (unix command line knowledge required).
    Unfortunately that requires more than what most of us are knowledgeable in.

  • Exporting for broadcast Problem

    Hi,
    I have just finished cutting an infomercial that is exactly 28mins and 30 secs. I am now trying to export it as a quicktime for broadcast. I am doing so by going to File - Export - Quicktime movie and using all of the current setting so that it matches my timeline. When I am done and I import the Quicktime movie into FCP to check it tells me that the timing is exactly 28mins and 30 secs. But when it is opened in any other program (like quicktime) it is being read as almost a second longer causing problems at the cable station.
    Is there a solution to this.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Well, 23.98 is NON-DROP frame timecode only. Meaning that 28:30 on it works out to be 28:31:18 in drop frame timecode. (If you don't know what drop frame timecode is, look it up in the wikipedia). So yeah, if they convert to 29.97 drop frame, they are adding 1 second and 18 frames. This is something that needs to be taken into account during the editing phase.
    I have a blog post on this topic...

  • Premiere Pro CC Exporting for video problems

    I am having trouble exporting videos for vimeo lately. I never used to have this problem. Instead of creating an MP4 video, when I export, an ADTS and an MD0 file are created, I am making videos for work so I usually leave the office while my videos export, so I'm not sure if any error messages are coming up. I use these settings  Compression Tutorials on Vimeo Please help me!

    Well, I'd think your machine capable of decent work. Ahem.
    I'm assuming the Velociraptors are internal or eSATA? Or Thunderbolt?
    Taking 9 hours to render 25 minutes of a 48 minute program is ... not normal. So, you did a wondrous job of providing your hardware data & setup, best I've ever seen perhaps! So ... what's the original camera & codec, is the sequence the same frame-rate & size as the footage or interpreted, what sort of effects have you used, and what export settings. Oh, and did any 3rd party programs or plugins "touch" this footage or sequence?

  • Aperture as external editor for iPhoto problem

    When I set Aperture as external editor in iPhoto, Aperture opens as it should , but the photo to be edited does not appear in the Viewer pane. I have to import it manually. This is not the way it should behave, is it?

    As Ian says, it can't be used in this way. To elaborate: Aperture is a Database and cannot see or manipulate photos that have not been imported into the db. Just like iPhoto, in fact.

  • IPhoto facebook exporter login error

    I know this is a common problem, or was, but I am trying to login to facebook via iPhoto exporter.  When I click on logon, it just says
    "An error occurred with Facebook Exporter for iPhoto. Please try again later."
    I've been at this for a few days trying to figure it out.  I've deleted com.apple.iphoto.plist, deleted my cookies, tried to reinstall safari, (even though I use firefox and it pops up).  Is there a preference that I am not selecting?  It is becoming quite frustrating, and I'm not sure if there is another way to do things (other than export whole album on to desktop and do it manually from facebook).  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    HELP

    We are having the same problem. However, I don't think it has anything to do with the software on our computer because the exporter works on my facebook account but not on my wife's. But I can't see what causes it.

  • Iphoto facebook exporter - faded images

    Hi can anyone help me with my problem? Ive been using the iphoto facebook explorer for ages, but all of a sudden it is uploading my images with the colours very faded to facebook.
    Ive uninstalled and reinstalled - done the lastest iphoto upgrades..
    any other ideas?
    Thanks!!

    Looks like you still don't get it. Normally if we upload photos using Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, the images would still retain the 'colour information' but obviously lose some quality (like size, clarity, etc.) but the COLOUR stays, thus the photo will look similar to the one we have in iPhoto.
    Meanwhile, uploading manually using the default Facebook photo uploader will result in the stripping of colour information, so basically before this problem happened, photos uploaded using this method will look a little faded in color and of course crappier than using the iPhoto. However, most Mac user might not realize this fact since they have been uploading photos to Facebook using iPhoto.
    And the problem we're having right now is uploading using iPhoto actually results in really crappier images than using default method. The colour information is no longer retained, the colour looks 'faded', desaturated, less contrast. It's so bad, that people who normally use iPhoto to upload would realise a huge difference. This is a fact, the discussions page for the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto is full of people complaining about this. It's not about why should we care about photo quality in Facebook, it's about why this problem happened. And so far no one has come up with any solutions, and neither Apple nor Facebook has responded.

  • 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...

  • 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.
