Facebook tags in uploaded album not linked to profile

I saw a lot of threads on this subject but nothing really solved my problem. Also they all seem rather out-dated, so maybe there are some new tricks I don't know of.
I spent hours over hours tagging faces in iPhoto after syncing my facebook account, and when I was finally done, decided to upload to a Facebook album.
90% of the faces, including mine and my wife's, appeared as tags that are not linked to profiles (font is black and you can't link them back to the profile).
Things I tried:
1. Manually making sure the e-mail field in each face is "<facebook_user_id>@facebook.com"
2. Manually tagging a photo in facebook, importing it back to the library, merging the created Facebook face with the other face.
3. Importing a different Facebook album with tags for most faces I need to the library, merging Facebook faces with non-FB faces.
And all of this didn't help.
I think it might help for future photos I'll upload, but existing ones stay the same.
I really don't want to re-upload the photos (because some people already liked and commented on them), or to re-tag everything (because I spent hours doing so already).
This is so annoying, it makes the whole faces feature + facebook integration on iPhoto pretty much worthless.
Any ideas whatsoever of how I can workaround this issue?

Have you reimported your media following a crash and are the affected tracks in .wav format? These don't carry a tag and on reimport all iTunes picks up is the file name. If you have an older library file that you can restore I have a tool to reconnect the library to the tracks that will have been relocated. Or if everything is on your classic you could try one of the tools in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • What went wrong? GoLive CS site uploaded, noes not link

    Hello. I created yet another site in GoLive cs, and uploaded it. On the web, it displays the index page, and you can click a link, which takes you to another page, which is blank, suggesting info is missing.
    The site works great on my mac, just not at all on the web.
    never had this problem b4. site is:
    http://atyourservicetampa.com
    I have put all of the pages and components in one single folder on my host, yet no change.
    Any other recommendations?
    perplexed. I'm sure its really simple, just can't find it, even after 2 days of reading thru all of the GoLive help. any keywords I dream up, do not reveal any troubleshooting tips.

    Many thanks!

    Make sure you are working in a site window. Check for broken links.
    for example your page http://atyourservicetampa.com/handyman.html
    refers to an image located in
    http://atyourservicetampa.com/NewFiles/handy.jpg
    so the folder 'NewFiles' with the file 'handy.jpg' seems to not be where it is supposed to be.

  • How do you Confirm a Facebook tag?

    Hey all,
    Just wondering how you "confirm" a facebook tag. I'm wonder as I'm trying to not have to go back and manually input an email address for every person i've already got.
    Thanks

    Here is a workflow I found to work for me:
    STEP 1 - Use FACES to name someone in iPhoto.
    STEP 2 - Publish the photo/album to facebook.
    STEP 3 - In facebook look at your album. You may notice that the person is tagged in facebook, but the name is not linked. This could be for two reasons. 1) The person is not one of your facebook friends; 2) you need to "link" the relationship between facebook and iPhoto. If the person is, in fact, one of your facebook friends but their name is not "linked" (highlighted in blue -- linked to their profile page) within facebook you should re-tag them in facebook and then delete the original link. Now, go back to your iPhoto album (the facebook album) and click the icon to the right of the album name to "refresh" or "resync" it. It will pull the NEW tag from facebook that you created and understand that it's the same person/name and it will finally start tagging that person correctly from that point forward.
    STEP 4 - If you created NEW tags for people in facebook you may notice that they appear in your iPhoto ablums with the NAME of the person and a "f" blue facebook icon next to it. Simply click the "f" facebook icon to accept this tag as being correct. This will also link iPhoto's database listing for that person with facebook's so you should have correct links moving forward.

  • Facebook photo upload album list not refreshing

    I have a N8 with the latest firmware and software.
    When using Nokia Social/Facebook app to upload images, the album list dropdown does not list all my facebook photo albums.  I do not want to upload all my imgaes to the same/default "mobile uploads" folder.  I have tried restarting, refreshing etc, but still only get one or two albums listed - and not the same two every time.
    Anyone have/had the same issue?
    thanks

    I found a fix!!
    Try deleting the app. Then on the iPhone go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website data > scroll to the bottom and tap 'Remove all website data'. Now re-download the Facebook app and see if it works.
    It worked for me. Try it.

  • Naming Mobile Uploads Albums for Facebook

    Whenever I upload pictures from my Droid Incredible to my Facebook account, they automatically get placed in the "mobile uploads" album. Is there any way to create a new album when uploading? Thanks a bunch!

    @lady_g, yes there is a way! Follow the steps below:
    - Open your Photo Gallery (Gallery app)
    - Tap on Album (e.g. Camera Shots)
    - On the bottom bar, Tap on share button (the one with two arrow going in opposite directions)
    - On the "Share via" list, Tap on "Facebook for HTC Sense" (not Facebook!)
    - Now tap on one or more photos that you want to upload and tap the "Next" button
    - Optionally you can provide a caption for each photo on the next screen. Once you are done, Tap the "Upload" button
    - On the next screen, the very first field is the "Album" field. Tap on it to choose an existing Facebook album, OR tap on the first option on this list to "Create Album".
    - Provide an Album Name and tap OK.
    - Now choose how you would like to share this album and Tap "Done".
    Hope this helps!

  • Facebook says that firefox does not re cognize other web sites for tagged photos.

    I have firefox and when I get on facebook and use my profile to view photos that I have been tagged in. they do not show up. all comments show, but when I click on view photo, it tells me that firefox does not recognize other web sites and wants me to approve them. this has never happened to me till I updated to this fire fox.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down 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.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.<br />
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

  • Links in photo album not working

    Hi, I created a prototype Web Site using  DW CS4 and used Fireworks for a photo album.  I used the command in Dreamweaver "create web photo album" which ran successfully.   When I created the album I told Dreamweaver to put navigation links on the page when displaying a photo.  The 'back' and 'next' buttons work but the 'home' button doesn't work.  I discovered that it is trying to link to a page that does not exist and if I edit the address bar in my browser I can get it to work.  I would like to know where in Dreamweaver you can go to edit where this link sends the user to.
         Thanks in advance

    Hi. Thanks for the quick response to my questoin.  I have looked around but cannot locate the home page button in dreamweaver but the buttons I am talking about do not show up when you are looking at it in the design view.  The button that I am talking about is only shown when you click on a picture thumbnail in the album and it takes you to the picture.  Above the picture is a previous, home, and next button.  This home page button takes you to the photo album not my actual site's home page.  I renamed the file created by fireworks from index to pictures because I already had an index file. I believe that is what is causing the problem but I do not know how to change the link locations because like I said they do not show up in design view.

  • Role upload does not change the delta links

    Hi,
    We are using the Role upload functionality in the portal to upload BW roles by selecting the "Convert roles to worksets" and "Overwrite existing content" options.
    The newly created workset (corresponding to the uploaded role) is then copied and pasted as a delta link in another folder.
    We upload the BW role again whenever some changes are made to the original BW role (such as addition/deletion of reports).
    However, these changes are not getting reflected in the delta link (although the delta link dependency still exists).
    Does delta link work only for manual deletion/addition of portal content and the changes do not filter through using a role upload with overwrite?
    It is definitely not working for us using the role upload functionality and It seems that overwriting content using role upload does not impact the associated delta links.
    Any solution/workaround to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vibhu

    So it's up to SAP to fix it - and you could mark the thread as closed?!

  • The "save image" does not transfer the photo from facebook to ipad album.  Is there another way to save a picture from facebook to the iPad album?

    I cannot transfer or copy pictures from Facebook to my iPad album.  I tap the photo and it says save image but does not show up in my album.

    Go to Settings>Privacy>Photos. See if you need to allow Facebook access to the photos app. Also look at the Facebook setting under Twitter and see if there is a setting in there that you need to enable. Finally go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Facebook and make sure that it hasn't been disabled in there.

  • Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr.  If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.

    Can't figure how to select a whole album to upload to Flickr.  If I select all the photos in an album, the photos upload but not my titles.

    Export the photos out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option to a folder on the Desktop.  Then drag the folder onto the disk icon on the Desktop and burn.   Be sure to select the Kind, qualtiy and size of the file you need.

  • Syncing faces with facebook tags

    Hi,
    I have a library of photos that I have gone through and organised with the faces feature. I have linked my facebook account with iPhoto and have selected the relevant facebook profile for each face instead of the profile from my contacts. Regardless of what I seem to do, however, I can't make these tags show up on facebook when I upload an album. What I mean is when I upload an album, the correct name appears as a tag on the photo however it is not linked to the appropriate profile (its just grey text as oppose to a link). I have tried everything concievable including adding facebook emails to the faces info tab but nothing seems to work.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I've the same problem (and we aren't alone - see the other question), I rellay think it is an Aperture bug I sent all night yesterday trying to save my faces (I cannot retag 8000 photos).
    There is no way to stop tagging the pictures in facebook...
    To save your faces db:
    Go to prefereces-> web and delete the facebook account and then empty the trash...
    You will save your faces.
    Then you can recreate the facebook account without opening the albums (if you don't open the photo are not downloaded and so you avoid the tagging); in that way you can post new albums witout problem and reset again (it is very quick) if the problem reapper..

  • Publishing pictures to Facebook - 'tagging' problems

    Whenever I upload any pictures to Facebook, Faces does tag people however it does not link them to their Facebook profile.
    I have tried using full names which match their profile name, however it still doesn't work.
    Is anyone else having this problem??

    definitely not good enough
    iPhoto knows your username on facebook and your password. It should access your friends list as 'exporter for iPhoto does'. See the feedback I left for apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    I am disappointed with the 'faces' integration with facebook in iPhoto 09.
    I have been using 'Facebook exporter for iPhoto' (http://developers.facebook.com/iphoto/) for some months now, and use of 'faces' could learn a lot from it.
    The flaw is this- I don't know my friends' email addresses, which facebook integration seems to require in order to tag them properly on facebook. The above exporter plugin fetches your contacts from facebook and suggests them using the same familliar javascript window we're used to when tagging on the facebook website itself, so I know that the API allows it.
    Unless this is improved, people will just see 'faces' as a gimmick and not as the time-saving and functional resource which it could be. Automatically recognising your friends' faces and then uploading the pictures to facebook as proper tags which generate notifications and are click-able screams 'it just works' a ** of a lot more than having to tag all your photos once for your computer and once again for your Facebook album.
    Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information.

  • Iphoto and Facebook tagging (or retagging)

    I've tagged about 1200 photos as Charlotte Rose but her Facebook name is Charlotte Smith. Is there anything I can do on my end to link them up when i post them on Facebook?

    How do i edit photos and such without them going to facebook???
    You do not
    That is how the iPhoto/FaceBook works - if you do not want your face book albums linked to iPhoto, then export the photos and upload them to FaceBook directly via the web upload
    One of the major features of the iPhoto/FaceBook interface is two way syncing of albums

  • How do I copy artwork to iPod just once for an album, not for every track?

    I don't download music. All my music is ripped from CDs that I own.
    After I rip a CD, choosing "Get Album Artwork" from the Advanced menu normally works, and if not, I find the highest quality image I can from the web, and copy & paste that into the large box at the bottom left of iTunes.
    It appears that iTunes stores the artwork image once for each track, not once for an album, so for example if an album has 10 tracks, the image is stored 10 times somewhere on my hard drive. This is inefficient, but not problematic.
    However, when I (manually) select & drag-copy the resulting 10 tracks to my iPod, the artwork doesn't transfer along with the tracks. I then have to copy the artwork & having selected all the tracks on the iPod, paste it in. I have the "Manually manage music and videos" option selected, as I simply don't trust the automatic system. I want to supervise what is copied, when, and in what way. I don't necessarily want everything in my iTunes library on my iPod.
    What concerns me is that for each album, the artwork image is stored repeatedly for each track on the iPod, like on my hard drive, not once for an album. As space will be at a premium on the iPod once I start copying more & more of my CDs across (I have only done 9 so far) the point will come where a large number of MB of space will be wasted on the iPod with duplicate artwork, which will mean that I'll be able to fit far fewer CDs on the iPod than would otherwise have been the case. The fact that I have chosen 192 kbps and the AAC Encoder for all my CD ripping also means that the iPod will fill up faster than if I'd used the standard 128 kbps and MP3 settings. I'm not prepared to go below 192 kbps though. My soon to be purchased Sennheiser CX500 earphones deserve that much!
    Is there any way to force iTunes and the iPod to store the artwork only once for each album, and if there is, can this method be retrofitted to the CDs I've already copied to my iPod, or do I have to start again from scratch? I've already filled 670 MB with the 9 CDs, many of which are only 40 or 45 minutes long, so I'm already getting worried!
    Alternatively, am I simply mistaken about all this? Does it only *look like* the artwork is duplicated, whereas it's actually only being stored only once?
    Many thanks.

    In reply to PT:
    Why don't you paste the artwork to the track in iTunes first (fast) THEN send them over to your iPod?
    I already do that. Every track has the correct artwork in place before I copy it to the iPod.
    I ripped about another 10 albums yesterday. Most of the albums got their artwork automatically from the iTunes store. For a few I had to get artwork from the internet.
    When I rip a CD, one of 3 different things happens:
    1. The album get its artwork automatically from the iTunes store, and then when I shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon, all the artwork transfers along with the tracks.
    2. As per 1, except the artwork doesn't transfer when I copy the tracks to the iPod. I then copy the artwork from one of the tracks on the Mac, then shift-click all the equivalent tracks on the iPod, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
    3. The iTunes store has no artwork for the album, so I copy the artwork from an image on the internet, shift-click all the tracks on the Mac, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste. I then shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon. They all copy across, but the artwork never does, so I then shift-click all the tracks on the iPod and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
    Pasting the artwork to the tracks, in either scenario 2 or 3 above, takes ages (often longer than copying the tracks themselves) and a progress bar appears, listing each track in order as the artwork is added to the track, accompanied by the spinning beach ball. The slowness is mostly down to using USB 1.1, but for a 20 track album, it appears that the iPod is storing the artwork 20 times, once for each track, not just once in total (for the album).
    It appears that in scenario 1 though, the iPod is only storing the artwork once.
    In reply to Landon Dial:
    well first you go to one track, right click and press get info. you go to where it says artwork, right click the image and press copy, then you exiit out of that. then you can press ctrl and select each song you want to have that artwork. if there highlighted then its working. then right click again and press get info. then go to artwork and press paste and it should have copied the image to all of your tracks
    Thanks for your input, but you've completely misunderstood my question. I know how to add artwork to tracks. What I'm trying to figure out is how to force iTunes/the iPod to only store artwork once for each album, not once for each track, even if the artwork comes manually from me finding it on the internet, not automatically via the iTunes store.
    In reply to Chris CA:
    When iTunes gets the artwork, there is only one copy on your computer.
    That single artwork is linked with iTunes to each song on the same album.
    When you add artwork yourself, it is copied directly into the ID3 artwork tag for each song. If you have a 200kB artwork file, each song will be 200kB larger.
    From what you say it sounds like there's no way to force the issue then. If you have to paste in artwork yourself, then it's one copy per track, not one per album. A serious flaw which I hope Apple will address!
    Using playlists is very easy to manage what goes onto your iPod.
    That's true, but I don't really have any need for playlists. I want 95% of what's in my iTunes library copied across (complete albums, with artwork). It's the remaining 5% (the odd individual track, amusing audio files, and other odds & sods) that I don't want copied. Copying things manually suits me fine, and I wouldn't consider another method unless it solved the problem that this topic is about!
