Facebook posting with iPhoto

I've posted a couple albums to Facebook using iPhoto '09 and it works great. My only problem is it doesn't tell my friends under "news feeds" on Facebook that I've uploaded new photos. This defeats the purpose of posting the photos if nobody knows to look at them. Any help would be great.

The Facebook exporter in iPhoto '09 is woefully incomplete. It is slapped on there like a bad coat of paint.
Facebook make an exporter that is far more full featured. It seemed to have 'uninstalled' itself when upgrading to iPhoto '09, but having reinstalled it, it works fine.
It provides the news feed you want and lets you tag people and you can add photos to preexisting albums (Nobody makes a new album when they upload a few pics to Facebook, shame on you iLife team, what WERE you thinking!).

Facebook problems with IPhoto

I have IPhoto 09 and use it to publish photos to FB. Now when I choose my photo it brings up the box to allow who I want to view but then it will not allow me to select the Publish option. Only the Cancel is highlighted. I first noticed the problem about 2 months ago. Any suggestions??

Thanks so much. I had tried many suggestions from different forums and I had signed out of Facebook but would immediately sign back in. Once I tried your tip to sign out and close Facebook, then when I chose Publish from IPhoto it allowed me to sign in and link to IPhoto. I don't know how I lost the connection to begin with but this solved the problem. Have a Great Day!!

Where's the right-hand scroll bar (for e-mails, facebook posts) with MavericksOSX10.9.4?

How can I scroll down with Mavericks OSX10.9.4? The right-hand scroll bar is missing.

Go to System Preferences > General and choose to always show it:

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

I'm in iphoto loop with Facebook that says there's a problem with IPhoto uploader. Try again later" It's an eternal loop and no matter what it puts me back to Setup to publish IPHOTO every time and then will not publish.

I'm in an Iphoto loop with iPhoto uploader error and Facebook. I cannot post to Facebook as it sends me back to setup again and then says there is an error with iPhoto uploader. "Try again later" This has been going on since I joined Facebook. Cannot figure out what to do

have you tried posting this question in the iPhoto forum? https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto

I can't upload photos from iphoto (on my iMac) to facebook. Error message comes up saying 'error occurred with iphoto - try again later'. I've installed the latest software updates but still can't get the photos to upload. Can anyone help please.

Hi, Hope this is in the right place.
I'm trying to upload photos into facebook from my iMac. I've clicked on the upload to facebook icon in iphoto but just get an error message saying 'error occurred with iPhoto - try again later. I've also had problems lately when I click on a photo to open it I just get a grey screen with an exclamation mark. I've downloaded the latest software but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks hopefully,
Karen

Karen,

Facebook Set Up: "An error occurred with iPhoto Uploader. ...."

I'm attempting my first upload from iPhoto to Facebook. The first step is to Set Up a connection to my Facebook account. I enter my Facebook credentials, and iPhoto responds with this error:
"An error occurred with iPhoto Uploader. Please try again later."
When I try again, iPhoto starts over with Set Up. So it appears the initial connection to Facebook is failing.
I'm running iPhoto '09 (8.1.2) on Mac OS X 10.6.4.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I accidentally deleted the iPhoto Uploader app from FB and now I can't get it back on there. I don't have the apps and games blocked in my security settings and everything looks like it should work. This is driving me crazy! I was half way through uploading some new pics to FB when I did it too.
I'm confident the problem is at FB. iPhoto has never done me wrong and even so, I deleted all the preference files and deleted and reinstalled iPhoto itself even. None of that has worked and none of the solutions that come up online seem to work either.
There needs to be a way to recover deleted apps on FB or simply reinstall them. I lost my twitter app when I lost the iPhoto Uploader and didn't have a problem getting it back on there so FB's programming is clearly not communicating very nicely with apple/iphoto's attempts to reinstall and "set-up" the uploader.
Thanks for any help out there!

IOS X Yosemite, iPhoto 9.6, Facebook albums with more than 25 pictures

I have linked my Facebook albums to iPhoto. I started using iOS X Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6 a couple of days ago. Now when I select in iPhoto any Facebook album with more than 25 pictures, it automatically removes all pictures after the 25th picture. However, the pictures remain in Facebook but I want to view them in iPhoto. How can I retrieve them?

The latest iOS (10.10.2) and iPhoto (9.6.1) solved this problem. Thanks to Apple for informing me by phone!

IPhoto 1.0 new iPad Facebook sharing with facebookErrDomain error 10000 failure?

iPhoto 1.0 new iPad Facebook sharing with facebookErrDomain error 10000 failure?
When using iPhoto to upload/share to Facebook, if I select certain albums to upload to, I get a popup that says "The operation could not be completed (facebookErrDomain error 10000)"
I've also noticed that iPhoto doesn't load all of my Facebook albums to choose where to upload. Besides Wall Photos, iPhoto Uploads, and create new album .. it only shows 24 previously existing albums. Which is about 1/3rd of all of my albums.

On iPad with iOS 8.0.2 I am experiencing photos are missing on Home page of some Facebook posts when connecting to Facebook via Safari

I have noted that I am not able to view some photos of some Facebook posts on my Home page when I try to view on my iPad (iOS 8.0.2) via Safari. On some occasions I can refresh the page and some of the photos become visible, others remain the large white box with the tiny blue question mark in the center of the box. Anyone else out there with this problem? Thanx.

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

I can't comment on facebook posts from Firefox, I use Mac OSX with 33.1.1 FF

Click to Tweet and Facebook Posts from Notification Center Stopped Working????!

Ok right now I am REALLY confused. About a week ago, I went to post something on twitter. Naturally, instead of having to go to twitter.com and signing in, I used the Notification center "Click to Tweet" button to make my post. It worked just as you would expect. The little screen popped up, I typed my post and tweeted it.
Just a few days ago, both the Tweet and Facebook Post buttons stopped working. I can click on them all I want, but the little index card-like screen never shows up. I don't know what the issue is, since I had both buttons working a few days ago. To try solving the issue I:
1. Went into the settings for notifications and "Hid" the buttons from Notification center (that didn't work)
2. Removed both my accounts from my laptop and re-added them (that didn't work)
3. Checked to see that the password was correctly typed in... it was (and that still didn't work)
The only thing I have left to do is try shutting down my laptop and restarting it. However I recently had some iPhoto software updates that required the laptop to be restarted. Even though this was after the problem started, it still didn't fix it.
One more thing to note is that in Safari where the "Share" button is... that still works fine. I shared a website I was on to Facebook and it posted successfully. The only problem is the functions in Notification Center.
If anybody has a solution to this issue where the Tweet and Facebook Post buttons stop functioning for Notification center, I would really appreciate it. Thanks
- Dan (ThunderBow98)
NOTE- One other thing. Notifications from Facebook and Twitter still work, however. For instance, I just got a friend request approved on Facebook and that appeared as it should with the little banner notification as well as it appearing in my list of notifications. Somebody re-tweated my tweet and that appeared there too. The only thing that isn't working is the posting features.

Same thing with me but the Safari thing also doesn't work. I recently changed my twitter username so I thought that might be the problem, but no it isn't. Unfortunately, I can only complain with you, not help you, I apologize, Dan!
What computer+ Mac os are you using? I am MacBook Pro with 10.8.4?

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

Add Current Facebook Albums to iPhoto?

Has anyone found a way to download your current facebook albums to iPhoto? I'd like to be able to do this so that I could add new pictures to them and have them sync back up to facebook instead of having to create new ones.

I know this question has been tossed around a few times after looking at the existing threads, but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to get iPhoto to recognize and sync an existing Facebook album without creating a new album and moving the photos over?
no
The problem with that is that I lose the initial post on the wall with the album and it also nullifies links I've shared via Twitter to the albums. I've even gone as far as look at possibly modifying the database data, but that seems pretty much impossible to do without corrupting it. I really like the idea of iPhoto syncing and managing Facebook albums, but it seems pretty ridiculous that I can't add existing albums regardless of the quality of the images in them. Anyone agree?
it makes no difference what we users think - iPhoto is what it is - to make suggestions iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
