Facebook upload stuck on "updating published collections"

I have had this problem since Lightroom 3 and I have just updated to Lightroom 4.4 on OSX 10.6.8 hoping that this problem would finally be fixed but it has not been.
Sometimes I can get one photo to publish and sometimes a few but most of the time the upload just gets stuck half way and will not progress and I have to restart LR and try again. It's a roll of the dice whether or not it will work.
I have the jf Facebook plugin but it won't upload to my wall and I can't use Mogrify for my borders with it.
Flickr works perfectly every time.
Would love some help and please don't blame Facebook!

Same problem here. The solution G.Lenn posted isn't working for me. I don't have an update ready in the App Store. My Photos version is 1.0 (209.52.0). Can you tell me what's yours?
My iPhone and iPad are syncing fine. It's Photos for Mac witch isn't updating anymore. Result: Library's out of sync.

Facebook App stuck when updating.

My iPad is trying to update Facebook and is completely stuck. It's also preventing other apps from updating- such as the National Trust and The Times. Please can someone tell me what I can do. I can't progress the update or even delete it! Any URGENT help would be MOST appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks for replies. I tried to open Facebook app via App Store- purchased but the little blue circle just keeps going round and round! I'm not confident about the second procedure but will have a go! Thanks!

Lightroom 4 won't update Published collections to Smugmug

When I go to Publish photo's to Smugmug, it gives me this error:
An internal error has occurred:html passed to JSON:decode0:<html><body><h1>400 Bad request</h1>
Your browser sent an invalid request </body></html>
I haven't had any problems publishing to Smugmug until now.
Are there any fixes out there for this error?

Hi mikey,
LR never writes to original files, and it does not do sidecars for videos.
So in order to view your LR adjustments outside LR you need to use a format which LR can write to, like H264.

Behance Plugin for LR not Authorizing in LR 5.6

LR3 - unable to publish collection to facebook

I can't publish to facebook. Tried various collections and it won't work. Everything was fine last week.
Error message #1 "Failed to retrieve item info" apprears when I try to upload to facebook.
Error message #2 (could be a summary), "Warning, can't update this collection. Failed to retrieve item info.", appears as soon as I close the tab for Error #1,
Anyone has a solution?
Thanks,
Joe

Publishing to Facebook from iPhoto does not work reliably right now.
As a workaround texport the photos to a folder on the Desktop and upload to Facebook with your browser until a bug-fix is released with the next update.
And send feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

Flickr credentials fail consistently - "can't update this collection, Invalid auth token"

I've set up links to FaceBook and Flickr and am happily uploading images directly from LR3. Every couple of days, the Flickr link/authorisation seems to die, and I get the message:
Can't update this collection.
Flickr API returned an error message (function upload,
message Invalid auth token)
OK
I need to re-authorise the connection by logging into Flickr using > Edit Session > Log In.
My password on Flickr hasn't changed (nor has any other detail), so there's no reason why the authorisation should be failing. I have a Flickr Pro account. The facebook connection is fine and never expires.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Steve

I can think of few ways the auth stuff can fail, based on the SDK example the publish service is derived from. But I bet folks over on the Lightroom SDK forum might know more than my inexpert guesses.

LR 4.4 Can't update this collection in flickr after Yosemite installed

Currently have LR 4.4. Just installed Yosemite as my OS on my late 2011 mac. Now when I try to publish a photo to flickr in LR I get a message headed 'Can't update this collection' and the photo will not publish. Any help appreciated.

Lightroom 3.6, 64-bit, Windows 7, 64-bit, everything fully patched. Happens to me also. Doesn't matter whether I have captions or other metadata or not.
Just now I was able to upload a 17-picture set to Flickr, first time in a week I've gotten more than about 6 pictures to upload.

Can't Update this Collection" After 4.1 update

Since the update yesterday (05/30/2012) to version 4.1 (official update), I now get the error code that Lightroom "Can't update this collection: Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your internet connection." Exporting to 500px worked fine. I tried reauthorizing my account, and while it connects fine to do that, I got the same error message when I attempted to publish to Flickr. I tried exiting the program and restarting it, even reloading the Flickr plugin, all to no avail.

IPhoto '09 Facebook upload problem

I have been uploading photos using iPhoto '09 to my Facebook account for years. Just a couple of days ago I started receiving a message box "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" when I click on the Facebook icon. If I go ahead with the button "Setup" it opens another small box that is simply my Facebook page. So, it is logged in but the page is useless as I cannot configure anything with respect to iPhoto. I have logged out and tried setup again but that does not work. I also went as far as to download the Facebook uploader plugin that works via the Export function. This partially works but my photos are not viewable by my friends even though it says they should be. Does anyone know why the Facebook upload function stopped working all of a sudden and how to fix it? I am using iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424). Thanks.

Thanks Larry. I found the discussion your were referrring to and it worked! I will paste it below in case someone else needs it.
Just solved it here after an hour+ of experimenting.
Try this:
• When you get prompted "Do you want to set up iPhoto of post to Facebook?" confirm and it will bring up your regular Facebook home page in a small viewer window.
• Go up to the upper right corner of the Facebook page and log out, then hit the "Close" button at the bottom of the small viewer window.
• You'll probably get the same "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" prompt again. This time hit Cancel
• Now try to share your pictures to Facebook again. You'll get the "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" message again. Do it and this time hopefully you should get a prompt to login to your Facebook account. Enter your Facebook name and password. This should reset your connection.
• If successful you should get a prompt from Facebook that you can close the page. Close it and fingers crossed, all should work again. That's what worked for me.
Good luck.

Numbers Doc stuck on updating

I have a numbers document that I created on an IPAD1 (IOS 5.01) and synced to ICLOUD. I've been using my IPHONE 4 (no S) to update the sheet but today it refused to upload the updated copy. I reset all settings on both devices, same but now the document appears to be trying to update on the IPHONE and IPAD both.
I logged onto the ICLOUD web site and the document is there, but stuck on 'updating' and wont change. Since its updating, I cant download it. The only option it gives me is to delete it.
Any ideas on how I can get this file to sync or allow me to download it? The document itself isnt very large.... it has 5 sheets and 4 forms in it. Not alot of data entered in it.
Thanks,

This is happening to me on my iPhone 4 using numbers and iCloud as well. The first time it happened I tried several times resetting, rebooting, relaunching etc. I discovered as Winston states I could get it out via iTunes. But I also discovered weirdly enough that I could continue to open, edit and close and duplicate the spreadsheet the whole time. I was also able to email the spreadsheet just fine from numbers while it was open too. It just seams stuck updating the changes. I ultimately deleted the spreadsheet and reuploaded like Winston described. Problem is now its doing it for the second time this week with the same spreadsheet. I am suspecting some sort of iCloud iFail. Since I've been using iOS 5, numbers, this spreadsheet, iCloud and this iPhone all for months with no changes till this week.

Issues in displaying upload document link in publisher taskflow

Hi,
We are trying to do a feasibility analysis on the upload document feature of publisher taskflow, but are facing issues.
The Attach : File link is not getting displayed along with the publisher taskflow. The Attach: Link option alone is displayed.
Below are the steps i did to try out.
1. Created a new webcenter Portal application using JDEV 11.1.1.6
2. Created a new JSF file under /pages.
3. Dragged and dropped a publisher taskflow from Resource Pallete.
4. Set the username parameter to #{securityContext.userName}
5. Created an UCM connection in Application resources.
6. Deployed the ear to server.
7. Made sure the UCM connection is active in the EAR. (verified through Enterprise Manager)
8. To make sure the connection is proper, used a document presenter taskflow to display images from UCM in the same page
On running the application the publisher taskflow and the document presenter with images are getting displayed on the page. But the Attach: File is missing. Only Attach: Link option is available.
Am i missing any other configuration here?
Requesting help is solving this issue

Had to update adf-config.xml to have an try for <doclibC:spaces-repository> as below
<doclibC:spaces-repository
spacesRoot=<Name of the Root folder configured in the UCM connection for Spaces in the server>
adminUserName=<Administrator username mention in the UCM connection for Spaces in the server>
applicationName=<Name of the application EAR>
/>
This fix enabled the Attach : File link in the publisher taskflow

Publishing service, missing published collection

I have the basics of a publishing service going, uploading images to an online gallery. Works fine apart from after I publish the 2 images in the 'New Photos to Publish' collection they're not being moved into a 'Published Photos' collection. One doesn't exist.
I'm relatively new to both lua and the LR SDK so it's extremely likely I'm missing the blindingly obvious but I can't find anything that sticks out in either the documentation or the Flickr example code. Is this something that Lightroom takes care of for me or is it something I have to handle myself. If the latter, are there any specific methods or is it just a case of making the collections and shifting stuff around. Any advice or thoughts appreciated.
Many thanks, in advance.
Henry.

Got it. missing exportRendition:recordPublishedPhotoId( publishedId ) call on successful publish.
All fine and dandy now.

Is there any way to upload iWeb files updates only with a 3rd party ftp program to a new hoster, e.g. Godaddy? I see no posts newer than 2007

If you are using iWeb V 3, there are two other options for publishing the site...
