Flickr Publish duplicates photos shared between photosets

Photos contained in two smart photosets get duplicated in Flickr's photostream:
1. I have a smart photoset called Favorites which chooses "Picked" and "5 start"
2. I have a smart photoset call Family which chooses "Picked" and "no color label".
3. I import a photo, pick it, and give it 5 starts (no color label).
4. I click "Publish" on "Family".  Uploads to photostream & marks it for inclusion in "Family" photoset.
5. I click "Publish" on "Favorites" and it uploads it *again* to  photostream and marks the new distinct photo for inclusion in  "Favorites" photoset.
This last one should read:  
5 I click "Publish" on "Favorites" and it notices the file has already  been uploaded to photostream and simply updates "Favorites" photoset to  include photo.
Anyway, hoping there's a workaround that allows me to keep using smart photosets.
(This problem is also described here. I reposted to have a clearer topic title)

I worked with Gokul from Adobe support, and we eventually stumbled into the solution.
The system clock was wrong! 
Based on something Friedl says on the blog for his Flickr plugin, the Flickr authentication APIs will fail if the system clock is wrong.  His plugin helpfully points out that the clock is wrong when you install it.  It also reports the error that he gets from the Flickr APIs: HTTP 401 (not authorized).  Unfortunately, Lightroom's builtin Flickr publishing plugin doesn't report any error, and it just fails silently.
In my case, Windows appeared to be displaying the correct time, but the time zone was incorrect, and my system time was actually 3 hours ahead.  I reset the clock and timezone and restarted Lightroom.  Now, the builtin Flickr publish plugin is working again.

  • Upload pictures directly from Bridge to Flickr or other photo sharing site.

    Upload pictures directly from Bridge to Flickr or other photo sharing site.
    But flickr is the most important. Many people are searching for a plugin or patch or something to be able to this.
    Because of that many people are using Picasa because you can download a plugin for it and then with this plugin you can upload photos to flickr directly from picasa. Please make it also possible in Adobe Bridge.
    I am using Adobe Bridge CS3 with latest updates.
    Thank you.

    You could do it in CS3 but the option does not seem to apprea in CS4.  Very strange.  For CS3 go to Tools>Photoshop Services>Online Portfolios and Galleries>Share photos with flickr.

  • Is there a way to turn off photo sharing between three iphones?

    We just purchased three iphones. Is there a way to turn off the photo sharing? We only want the pictures to be on the phone that took them, not shared between all three. 

    If you mean they are signed into the same iCloud account and are sharing the same photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and turn Photo Stream off.

  • How do i get my photos from icloud photo sharing to PC?

    HELP!!!!
    I transferred all my photos from photo stream into folders in icloud photo sharing to transfer them to my computer....I have done everything I can think of but all my pics wont go over to pc....some of the folders names are there but no pics???
    what do I do as now phone wont let me do anything as it says I have too much data used?

    Hi, just wanted to let you know I have the same problem. I did a  BING search and it came up with, you have to down load icloud for windows to your pc, then you sign in to your apple id, after you install the program. you will have to do photo sharing between all of your devices, and make a folder for it. walla pics. Hope this is somewhat clear enough, otherwise, try the  BING search for your answer! Good luck

  • Sharing Photo's between Aperture and iPhoto and syncing to iPads, etc

    Here is my problem.
    I have 5 Macs (1 iMac, 4 laptops.) There are 4 people in my family and we have the family pack of iLife. The iMac is where everything sits with a time capsule and Drobo hanging off of it - about 6 TB's of data. Each Mac sync's with a variety of iPods, iTouchs and iPads. All linked to a user. So for example, all my oldest son's devices sync with only his laptop.
    Well, I finally fixed my media (songs, movies, TV shows, etc) problem by leveraging home share in iTunes and authorizing all my Macs. But not so lucky yet for Photo's.
    Here is the my photo dilemma.
    I like Aperture for the editing and ability to handle large libraries better. So I have Aperture installed on the iMac where everything sits. iPhoto is also installed on the iMac and iPhoto is on all 4 other laptops. Prior to moving to Aperture, sharing photo's between computers was relatively easy using sharing in iPhoto - although it appears sharing in iPhoto is different than home share in iTunes. I converted my iPhoto library on the iMac to Aperture - now sharing is a pain in the neck.
    Ideally, a Home Share like feature would be built into Aperture and iPhoto with another feature that would allow you to "check for new photos" on the laptops and pull them into Aperture - but wishful thinking right now.
    So my while my 2 new iPads are awesome - they are basically useless for Photo's as they are synced to 2 laptops that use iPhoto, but all my Photos are in Aperture on the iMac.
    Thoughts anyone????
    Thanks

    What was the question?

  • How to control photo sort order in flickr publish folder

    Using LR 5.3 and trying to control the sort order of photos in a Publish folder (Flickr). When I drag-and-drop the photos, they never end up in the location indicated by  the dark black bar that appears under the mouse cursor. Usually appear within 5 or 6 places of the dropped location, but sometimes up to 20 places away from the dropped location. Futzing with the location sometimes gets them closer, but not always. It's very frustrating. I've seen comments about certain restrictions for manual sorting (e.g. not feasible in Smart Collections), but no specific reference to sorting in a Publish service. Is there a way to put the photos into the exact order that I want in a Flickr Publish folder? (Note: drag and drop does not work correctly... that's the problem).

    Click the Action icon > show view options > Arrange by none > sort by name.

  • Best photo sharing site to use with aperture?

    what is the best photo-sharing site to use with aperture?
    flickr and flickr export?
    or are there more capable alternatives?
    is there any solution to sync tags and keywords between aperture and the photo sharing site?
    thanks for any advice

    i was wondering what the best service is in combination with aperture, the best service on its own for me is flickr, i like there online interface a lot.
    so there is no way to have the same functionality with aperture as with iphoto from ilife08?
    the demo on the .mac website shows they simply upload a gallery to .mac web gallery like here: http://gallery.mac.com/emily_parker
    now when i export a web gallery from aperture its just a stupid web page with none of the interactive functions of a web gallery
    but unless aperture can publish to .mac like iphoto can i will probably stick with flickr, flickr export for aperture seems also the most capable plug in for the moment compared to the export plugins for smugmug or other services.
    i was really hoping to be able to use .mac like advertised with iphoto or have someone here suggest some other great service to use with aperture, i would especially like to be able to sync keywords both ways.

  • I am not able to duplicate photos in iphoto. How can I accomplish it.

    I am not able to duplicate photos in iphoto. I have tried the two finger click and then went to duplicate... no luck. Went through photo and duplicate... no luck. Used command D... nothing. How can I fix this?

    Can you import new photo's?
    If not that means something is wrong with your iPhoto files someplace or possibly your .plist file.
    As you know, you can right click "show package contents" of the iPhoto Library and get a copy of your Originals out. I would do that immediately so you have a copy safe out of iPhoto's clutches, stick them on a external drive, along with all your other files just in case.
    Then next download and run ALL of the free OnyX initial checks, cleaning and maintenance tasks (except the log files) and reboot at the end (in between tasks reboots can be canceled)
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    What this will do is sort of check things out, then clean out all your caches so they rebuild, repair permissions and other tasks that the computer normally does itself, the machine may act a bit slow until the caches and Spotlight are rebuilt, sort of a nuclear cocktail of fixing everything.
    If OnyX gives any warnings then state them so here please, you could have a more serious problem that will need addressing like a Repair of your boot drive or failed SMART status etc.
    If OnyX comes up clean, and your still having trouble with iPhoto, you can choose to remove (from Pictures), rename and/or archive the iPhoto Library, reboot and restart iPhoto to create a new iPhoto Library, then in iPhoto, import a copy of your Originals from backup.
    You can also delete the  com.apple.iphoto.plist  file from your ~/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and restart iPhoto, reset your preferences again, sometimes that clears issues up.
    If your STILL having issues with iPhoto, log into another user and try iPhoto there, if no issues then it's something unexplained in the other user. You may want to just switch users transfering files via the Users/Shared folder.
    If your having problems with iPhoto in the other user, the program iPhoto ITSELF, is likely the cause. You can resintall it from the bundled 10.6 install disks, or simply install 10.6 again (does a overwrite of exisiting OS X and bundled iLife programs) and immediatly Software update until clear to 10.6.8. This method also kicks out kext and other OS X installed "hacks" from other third party program installers, you wlll need to run those installers again.
    If you upgraded 10.6 over 10.5, then you will need to use Pafacist to extract iPhoto from the 10.5 disks, as the 10.6 white disks doesn't have the free iLife, only the grey disks do.
    There are also some tricks to rebuild the iPhoto Library, I forget what they are, but if you ask in the iPhoto forum you will get a answer from several of our regulars who are familiar with the subject better than I am.

  • Flickr publishing service and privacy settings

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Lightroom 3, and am loving it. I've played around with the Flickr publishing service, and it seems that at the moment there is a limitation in that it is not possible to specify permissions for individual photos, but rather, an overall choice for the publishing service. I usually upload an album with restrictive permissions then make some of the photos public, so I was wondering whether if I upload an album via Lightroom 3 with permissions set to 'Private', and I change the permissions on the flickr website to 'Public', then if in future I re-upload the image after modifying it, will the permissions be reset to 'Private', or will Lightroom respect any privacy settings set directly on Flickr?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Thomas

    I don't know the answer to your specific scenario - my simple advice is "try it".
    But I do have an alternate idea if you try it and find that it doesn't work as you expect.
    I have 2 publish services both based on the Flickr plugin. (You can add additional ones by right-clicking on the existing Flickr publish service, and choosing [Add Another Publish Service via "Flickr"]
    One's set up to upload as public, the other is set to upload as private.  Under these 2 publish services I have my various photosets (public & private).
    You can also use this method to support multiple Flickr accounts (family vs. business, etc)

  • Can the Flickr Publish Service upload to existing Sets?

    When publishing photos to Flickr, can I specify the photo to be put in a specific set within Flickr, i.e., photo publishes to my photostream and I want to place the photo into my "Ravelry set?"
    How can I accomplish this or do I have to manually go into Flickr and add the photo to a specific set?
    Thank you
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Not to confuse things by contradicting Brett, but I just tried this, and it works fine for me.  Payne1904, try this:
    1.  Set up your Flickr publish service in Lightroom.
    2.  In the header of the Publish Services panel in Lightroom, click the "+" button and in the Flickr section, choose "Create Photoset".
    3.  Name the Photoset the exact name of the existing Photoset that you want the photos to go into.
    4.  Add photos to the Photoset in Lightroom, and click "Publish".
    The photos will be added to the existing Photoset on Flickr.  Let me know if this doesn't work.

  • Can I share an iCloud photo library between family members?

    I am searching for a good photo and video backup solution for my entire family. Previously I was backing up photos to a Windows Home Server that did a weekly backup to Amazon's cloud storage; however, the system disk on the home server blew up, leaving me with the choice to rebuild the server or alternatively look for a more seamless, lightweight solution. I have large quantity of photos and video on a home server data drive, as well as a large number of photos that have been recently scanned to my MacBook pro. We have almost completely transitioned to Apple products and use Time Machine for Macbook backups, so that function of the Home Server is no longer useful.
    I like the concept of Apple's iCloud Photo Library; however, I need a solution that allows photos from at least my wife's and my devices to be seamlessly backed up to the library. We use different iCloud IDs. The ideal use case would be that photos taken on any of our devices (across a set of iCloud IDs) would be shared within a single library.
    Family Sharing allows you to share a number of things across family members, but currently the photo library doesn't appear to be one of them.
    Any pointers on how to proceed? Will the OS X Photo app and the move to bring iCloud library to the Mac make any difference? Any alternative solutions?

    Someone else can probably answer the family sharing question better than I can, but I wanted to respond with an alternate suggestion. I didn't find the features I wanted in family sharing, so I didn't give it much of a chance. It did seem like you'd have a separate album for each family member.
    I just recently started using Flickr and it's great. I looked into it a few years ago and there were limitations on how many MB's you could upload per day and I don't remember being impressed by the amount of free storage. Now Flickr gives you 1000 GB for free and stores the image in the original quality and size. If you download the Flickr app on your phone, you can set it to automatically upload all of the new pictures on your iphone, ipad, etc. If you and a family member share a Flickr account, you can both auto sync your camera rolls into the same Flickr account.
    Personally, I'm using Flickr as a way to automatically back up photos for free. I quickly ran out of free icloud storage and I haven't wanted to pay for more.In Flickr, the auto uploads from your phone are set to private by default, but you could use flickr to share albums with friends who don't own any apple products... unlike icloud photo sharing, that only allows your friends with an apple device to view shared albums.

  • Photo Sharing - Download Size?

    May I first say what a great upgrade this has been... I know from reading other comments that it hasn't been the same for everyone but it was very simple to get my site updated and be working apart from one thing... here is my problem.
    I've made a load of photo pages by dragging photos out of the media inspector panel within iWeb 08 from images that are hi-res (2272 × 1704 pixels) within iPhoto 08. When I select the photos to be shared in the inspector panel (second button from left) I select "Photo Sharing - Download Size? - Original (Full Quality)... all good up to yet... I publish my site and when I go to the images online and download them they have been resized to 1920 x 1440 pixels.
    Why?

    'Optimize photos' is enabled by default. I think is a good thing since my domain file was reduced in size after upgrade from 3.5GB to 1.6GB. But if you really want original images to publish then you need to turn off 'Optimize photos' in prefs and then add photos.
    Best,
    Scott

  • Cant get to photos so nothing but .MAc any good for photo sharing anymore !

    It seems that as we cannot access the photos (easily) in iphoto 08 as it is in package that any photo sharing except .Mac is pretty well useless.. Is this correct ???
    I have Flicr, Photobucket Picasa and Koffeephoto online photo sharing accounts and now I cannot upload to these because Apple seems to want hide our photos in a package . Funny that it works with .MAC but I am not paying for this service when alls I need has been available free for quite a while and my friends go there to see my photos. It almost feelings like I am being forced towards .Mac because of this.
    Are other people having the same upload hassles to these other accounts because of this or is there an easy way to get this to work. I really hope I am not going to be forced to open the package and copy photos out of it and then go through the services upload programs. Have I missed something ?
    Thanks

    There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    There are plug-ins for exporting directly to Flickr, perhaps there are for the other sites too. Search on MacUpdate
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
