Facebook Photo Caption = iPhoto Title

When you change the caption in your iPhoto-uploaded FaceBook photos, it changes the "title" of your photo inside of iPhoto.
It would be nice for this NOT to happen. I usually like to write long captions for my photos in facebook, and I would really not like these to change my "titles" in iPhoto, making them really long! Also, I like to keep the photo in sequential order with the rest of the albums (DSC0001, DSC0002, etc).
Was just throwing this idea out and seeing if anyone else had an issue with this as well

Seriously! I just got the "face recognition" feature to sync up with my facebook tags. Everything looks to make uploading pics a lot easier... But unfortunately, I was bummed to find out that the new iPhoto'09 facebook uploader does not read the captions from each photo and put them on facebook. The only way to do it is to change the "Title" of the picture, which is really annoying because the Titles get too long.
The Facebook-Exporter has this feature. I'm sure Apple can make it work too! APPLE please tweak this feature! We want the Facebook Uploader to sync the photo descriptions/captions.

Downloadking a Facebook photo same size

When I save a Facebook photo to Iphoto or downloads, it is postage size rather than full size. The ones from my camera save as full size. What can I do to save Facebook photos at the regular size?

You are probably saving from the thumbnail of the photo. You need to have the photo full size on the facebook screen before saving it.

How do I link Photo Title and Photo Caption in iPhoto Book

When using the yearbook template in iPhoto I have found that the Title is not linked to the photo Captions are linked most of the time, so if I move a photo I have to reset all the titles. How can I link them?

hi Jim,
Are the titles that are not moving ones that you gave the photos while you were in the book mode?
I was just wondering if you gave the titles to the photos in the library view if it would work differently.
Ok, I just tested it. Before you make the book, give all the photos the correct titles and comments if any. Now highlight that album and choose to create a book. The titles and comments will move with the images this way.
I also tested an image that was already placed in the book and it had a title that it was imported as. I changed the title in the library view, went back to the book and moved the photo. The title that I just gave it in the library view moved with the photo.

Script to change photo caption in iWeb to iPhoto comment text

Hi,
Does any body know, how I could automatic replace the caption of the photos I have imported from iPhoto with the Media Browser to iWeb with the comment text I have in iPhoto for every photo?
It should be just a script, which gets told the album and the looks for the file name which is in the caption, reads the comment for the photo in iPhoto and then puts replaces the caption with it in iWeb, then the next photo ...
I'm not good in scripting.;-(
Thanks and Regards,
JO

Ok, here my script, what I'm using now to copy the comment to the title in iPhoto before importing the photos to iWeb:
try
tell application "iPhoto"
activate
copy (my selected_images()) to these_images
if these_images is false then ¬
error "Please select the images."
display dialog "Copy comment to title for the selected photos?"
set the image_count to the count of these_images
display dialog "Processing " & (the image_count as string) & " photos." & return & return & "This will take a moment..." buttons {"•"} default button 1 giving up after 2
repeat with i from 1 to the image_count
set this_photo to item i of these_images
tell this_photo
set the title to the comment of this_photo
end tell
end repeat
end tell
on error error_message number error_number
tell application "iPhoto"
activate
if the error_number is not -128 then
display dialog error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end if
end tell
end try
on selected_images()
tell application "iPhoto"
try
-- get selection
set these_items to the selection
-- check for single album selected
if the class of item 1 of these_items is album then error
-- return the list of selected photos
return these_items
on error
return false
end try
end tell
end selected_images

When I recaption a photo in IPhoto and transfer to Photo Stream the caption is not transferred and only the original photo ID shows in Photo Stream. Can you transfer a recaptioned description to Photo Stream?

When I recaption a photo in IPhoto and then transfer to Photo Stream, the new caption is not transferred and the original Photo ID shows. Is there any way to have the new caption show up in Photo Stream with a transferred photo?

No. Recaptioning only add a title to a photo and does not change the actual file name. You could export the photo outside of iPhoto with the option to use the title as the new file name, reimport into iPhoto and then add to PhotoStream. But that may be more of a hassle than you wnat to go thru.

Can I save captions (labels under the photos in iPhoto) in Aperture?

Can I save captions (labels under the photos in iPhoto) in Aperture?

The captions are indeed in iPhoto replacing the scan number under the photo.
I see, you want to save the name of the image version - both Aperture and iPhoto allow you to create multiple edited versions of the same original image file and in iPhoto you are seeing the name of the image version belbow the thumbnail of the image, if you change the title n the Info panel.
But they are not saved with the photos when burned to disc,apparently (correct me if I am werong).
I don't know, which iPhoto version you are currently using. When you export photos (in iPhoto '11) or image versions (in Aperture 3) as files to a folder on the disk, you can use the version name/Title as the filename. Both applications let you chose, how the exported file will be called. In iPhoto use the following settings, when exporting your images, to use the title as the filename:
Select the images in the Browser.
Use "File > Export"
Set the "Kind" to "Original" or "Current", depending on if you want to export the original or the edited version,
And then pick a format for the filename. To use the title/verson name as the filname instead of the scan number, set "File Name" to "Use Title".

Can you 'log out' of a facebook account on iphoto in order to upload photos to more than one facebook account?

My friend uploaded her photos to facebook on my mac/iPhoto and now I cant upload mine.When I press 'share', 'facebook' etc on iphoto it immediately tries to upload them onto her account even though she is no longer logged into her facebook on my computer.

After the following steps, should I be able to post a link to my Facebook timeline?
1) Log out in Facebook app.
2) In Settings, disable Facebook account access to Facebook app. (Now the Facebook app shows the login form. Don't login.)
3) In Mobile Safari, clear cookies and data.
4) In Mobile Safari, post a page to your Facebook timeline.
I was expecting it fail or bring up a login form, but it successfully posted the link to the timeline. The access token is still remembered somewhere. Help is appreciated.
[UPDATE: after typing up the above, googled for Facebook active sessions. When I deleted all the sessions and tried sharing in the browser, it prompted me to enter the Facebook password in Settings, as expected. Thought I'd post it here as it's related to the topic.]

I can't save a photo from facebook directly to iPhoto. I have to put in download and move it. How do I save directly to iPhoto? This is getting frustrating.

I am trying to save directly to iPhoto from Facebook and when I click down load it goes to the downloads and opens in Preview and if I move it from there to iPhoto is still has the preview border. I did find a way to download to my documents and move it to iPhoto but I should be able to save directly to iPhoto and the right click does not give me the option to save iPhoto. Does anyone have a solution?

Right click on the photo in Safari and use the add photo to iPhoto option - if that is not there then your only choice is to save to disk and then import to iPhoto

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?

I want to email a photo through iPhoto but it says I need a password... I entered my password but it says it doesn't match - what password do they want and how do I fix? (Facebook and other social media iPhoto posts work - just email asking for pass)

i would like to put captions on my photos in iPhoto and have show up on apple tv during a slide show.. is this possible.. thanks

If you do not have it on disc, then download it, install it, and activate it with your serial numnber. If you need to download it, if you purchased it online thru Adobe look for a link in your Adobe account online. You can also download the trial version and activate it with your serial number...

The window doesn't automatically pop up now. When you plug the card reader in, you should see a 4th option on the lower bar of the photos app. I think it says camera. Tap on that then you can see and inport your photos.
If you are still having issues, try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. It won't hurt any data but can clear gliches.

How do i post photos from iphoto to a facebook group instead of my own page?

I know how to post photos from Iphoto to my Facebook page, but cannot find a "simple" way to post photos in Iphoto to a Facebook "group" of which I am a member.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There isn't a way.
You'll need to use another method.
