Flickr upload from iPhoto acting weird since last update

Hi
I am currently uploading photos to Flickr on a regular basis.
however since iPhoto's latest update (the one that changed the look of icons in the sidebar...) I am seeing constant problems with uploads. They usually get stuck very shortly after they started. As I am writing this, an upload is stuck at "time remaining: 2 minutes" and has been for over 10 minutes for an upload of just 20 small-sized pics. When the upload is smaller, it gets stuck at the "Pending" state forever (I've left iPhoto running in the background for several hours and it was still stuck at that level after 4 hours).
anyone else experiencing this?
any idea or help appreciated
Note: my iPhoto library is in my Dropbox and I am running iPhoto 9.1.5 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I'm having the same problem. Whenever I try to use iPhoto to upload photos to Flickr, it takes a loooooong time, gets hung up a lot, is forever "pending" and is just a huge waste of time! Really frustrating.
I'm running OSX, 10.6.8 and I'm using iPhoto '11 version 9.1.5. I'm uploading the photos at full resolution (3648x2746px), which obviously is going to take longer than uploading smaller versions, but it's not THAT big - shouldn't take all day. At first I thought this problem might be related to some kind of problems with internet connection, but I've tried in a lot of different places, including at home, where i have a great internet connection and normally no problems.
I've been struggling with this for a few months and it's totally driving me nuts - if I can't figure this out soon, I am going to quit using iPhoto entirely.
Does anybody use iPhoto with Flickr successfully?

My iPhone 4 has been acting weird since the update to iOS 5.1.1

I charged it to 100% yesterday morning and by the time I went to bed it was at 13%. I didn't do anything I don't normally do. A few games, email, check weather, sports scores; a couple hours of use.
Then this morning I was texting a buddy that's in town and when I got a response my screen just flashed on then off really quick and it make a weird static noise instead of the bell when I went to unlock the phone to read the message. Just before this I changed the volume of the ringer in settings because it sounded really high.
Has anyone else experienced anything weird since updating? I'm trying a reboot and will watch it for a while. Might be time to take it in and have it checked out.

hi Allan,
Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal.

My pointer arrow is jumping around. my windows flip. i can't close windows--there are no 3 colored dots.i don't use a mouse. i just downloaded Lion and my mac has been acting weird since.

ALL OF A SUDDEN , MY POINTER ARROW IS OUT OF CONTROL OR WON'T MOVE. I DON'T USE A MOUSE. THE WINDOWS SHAKE LIKE WHEN I'M TOLD I HAVE THE WRONG PASSWORD AND THEN THE WINDOWS FADE, SWITCH AND/OR FLIP AROUND. THERE ARE NOT THE 3 DOTS IN THE LEFT-HAND CORNER SO I CAN'T CLOSE WINDOWS WHEN I FINISH WORKING WITH SITES. MY MAC HAS STARTED ACTED WEIRD SINCE I STARTED USING LION. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I work for Dr Pod, an iPod repair company. This sounds to be that the hard drive is dying in the iPod. As it is an older iPod it is out of its one year warranty, the iPod won't be repaired for free by Apple, and you'd need to consider wether it'd be better to have the iPod repaired by an iPod repair company such as my own, or to purchase a new one from Apple.
If you did choose to purchase a new iPod from Apple, then they do provide 10% off the cost of a new iPod if you exchange in your old one. I'm not sure if this applies to faulty ones though (I have heard of some people being turned away for having a faulty device).
Hope this helps,

Uploading from iphoto shuts down my browsers

When I try to upload from iphoto (not with the iphoto facebook uploader but through the files to my blog for example) it shuts down my browser. I have tried this on several browsers - chrome, safari, firefox - they all crash. WHY? And how do I fix this? I am using iLife 9. Please help.

Thank you for your response.
I attempt to upload photos to either of my blogs (wordpress and blogger) by clicking to choose files from my computer -> under the "MEDIA" section on the left column I click photos -> I am given the options of iphoto or photobooth -> click iphoto -> at which point i have the option to pick events or photos or last import, etc. When I click events the browser then freezes up and then shuts down all windows that are open.
Sometimes it allows me to take the photos from the "last import" section under iphoto.
I CAN upload photos directly from my desktop, but I don't want to drag or copy/paste everything to the desktop if I don't have to.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my new macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.

Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my last laptop.
As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
Many thanks!

Hi RaulRod,
Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

Sudden;y i can't upload from iPhoto to other websites?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Has anyone else experienced persistent "iPhoto unexpectedly quit" since last weeks upgrade to Lion 10.7.3?

I am getting persistent "iPhoto unexpectedly quit" since last weeks upgrade to Lion 10.7.3?
It is usually preceded by a warning that the library is corrupted and needs to be repaired. I can still see the supposedly bad photos in Aperture without problems. I believe there is a serios bug in iPhoto.
One other clue here is that I attempted to download a new slideshow to my MobileMe Gallery immediately after the upgrade but even though it is still a valid Share option it did not work. After that with a brief exception I got the unexpected quits referrred to above.

Have you previously marked Commodo's certificates as untrusted? The following discussion
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17473383#17473383
talked about a similar problem and I just enabled Commodo's root certificate in Keychain Access and now mobileme is working for me again with Aperture.

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_1.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage?

How do I change the image title when it is uploaded from iphoto to iweb. At the moment the image title is /shapeimage_2.png and I would like to put in something more relevant than just shapeimage_2?

When you drag images from iPhoto to iWeb, iWeb retains the original filename.
When you use a mask, iWeb creates a png file with the shapeimage name.
So do not use a mask and crop your images before dropping them on the iWeb canvas.
When you use an irregularly shaped mask, then png files are created. They have to be png because of the transparency of the shape.
You can use a 3rd party application to create the png images yourself, and give them a proper name.
Or use the published png files, rename them and drop them back onto the iWeb canvas, while first removing the previous images.

Facebook photos teeny-tiny when I upload from iPhoto

Whenever I upload pictures from my iPhoto to facebook they are really small. It doesn't matter what camera they come from...they are always tiny when I upload from iPhoto. If I upload directly from my phone they are a normal size.. Anyone know how to help??

exactly how are you uploading to facebook?
The best way is to select the photos and click on the facebook icon in the tool bar and use the iPhoto uploader

Rotten Tomatoes reviews missing from UK ATV2 since last update

Hi,
Since last update to 4.2, the movie/critic reviews have 'disappeared' from rental movies, leaving only user reviews that are less than helpful.
Is this just me or have others noticed the same thing?
Thanks.

probably related to rotten tomatoes being a US review service, or apple only having a licensing agreement for the US.
also note that there is no 4.2 update for the appletv.
the current version is 4.1.1, and the previous version was 4.1.

Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random.

Hi Guys and Girls,
My Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random. Who else is having this annoying issue?
Cheers,
Keegan

Do not use the iPhoto - Facebook link - as advertised changes on either side are automatically synced to the other - that is the way it works
If you do not want the features that iPhoto offers then upload directly form a web browser or other method

How to upload from iphoto to icloud in title order using photo share (not photo stream)?

I can get the albums within iphoto (V9.6) into title order, however when they are uploaded to icloud (photo share, not photo stream) they lose that order. Can the photo shared images on the icloud web link be uploaded/or organised into the order that I have painstakingly created?

December 2014 Case Resolved by midnorthcoast
I found Old Toad's remedy presented by Tedious Tom here Keeping desired order of photos when sharing on iCloud
After labelling (titling) each of the 300 or so images carefully in numerical order I wanted to be sure that that's how they would be viewed once uploaded from iPhoto to Photo Share (not Photo Stream). Note that I didn't want the ensuing iCloud weblink to be automatically emailed to others. I wanted to email the link personally. I find the automatic invitation's presentation confusing in regard to having to register to view the images or simply clicking the less obvious link. Plus I wanted the invitation to be more personal.
Here's how I did it:
Transferred images from Finder to their own album within iPhoto
With the album open, made sure images were in title order, View/Sort Photos/By Title
Selected all images
Followed Old Toad's advice (except I changed from 1 minute to 1 second), Photos/Batch Change/Set Date/Add 1 second between each photo
Shared with iCloud, Share/iCloud
Dialogue box comes up, Clicked on New photo stream
Another dialogue box, filled in one of my email addresses (not my iCloud identity), unticked Subscribers Can Post, ticked Public Website, clicked Share
Opened iCloud within iPhoto and waited until finished uploading
Highlighted the album, clicked Info, copied the weblink shown under Public Website and pasted into personal email invitations

Address Book repetitive crashes since last updates ?

Hello,
I do apologize for the length of this post but I don't know how to shorten it without removing some details useful to understand the problem encountered.
My sister has got an intel iMac with Tiger 10.4.10 and since last updates (10.4.9 and/or 10.4.10) she cannot use AB more than some seconds. It crashes consistently everytime it is open, even if no other action is done. There are also problems with iChat, iCal, Safari and Mail (but less than with AB).
When I visited her recently, I had a look to the console (even though I'm far from being an expert myself but I tried to find a track before asking here).
I noticed that for both crashes (Safari and AB), there was this mention :
quote
+CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:+
+ /Users/nnnnn/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/MetaData/.info+
+ The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.+
+Error in createMutableDictionaryValue:1012 for property 'URLs' 'XML parser error:+
+ Unexpected character = at line 1+
+Old-style plist parser error:+
+ Unexpected character '0x3d' at line 1+
+Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: Exited process crashed+
+Aug 23 19:03:07 Ordinateur-2-nnnnn crashdump[465]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Exited process.crash.log+
unquote
because of the "+not proper UTF8+" I tried to change it in AB preferences/vCard/encodage in "+proper UTF8+" and because of "+Old-style plist parser: error Unexpected character+" I tried to check and validate fonts of Fontbook. Unsuccessfully.
Back home, I searched on the web and read somewhere that there could be a problem with the "catalog" that could only be repaired by DiskUtility from the install disk. That was done today but the "*hard disk seems to be OK*" and AB crashed as usual when open.
there were two crash reports, one for AB and one for ABsync (? curious since she has no .mac account and does not sync her mobile phone).
The AB crashlog(1) finishes so :
quote
+Thread 3 Crashed:+
+0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0b54 __memcpy + 948 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
+1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
unquote
and the ABSync crashlog(2) :
quote
+Thread 0 Crashed:+
+0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0af6 __memcpy + 854 (cpu_capabilities.h:228)+
+1 ...apple.AddressBook.framework 0x9478a9f7 c4_Column::FetchBytes(long, int, c4_Bytes+
unquote
and finally when I asked her for a screenshot of her ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, I was surprised (comparing with my folder) to find she has three ABPerson.skIndexInverted files (I have only one) the second file is ABPerson.skIndexInverted.218 and the third ABPerson.skIndexInverted.286.
I suppose two are toomuch but which ones have to be delete ...
Sorry for this (too) long post and hope the light will come from some reader better educated in hard and softwares than us.
(1) (2) I have a longer version of these crashlogs but this post is already very long and I'll post them only on request (if needed)!

Hello Josy.
After fixing the filesystem issues, which you say you’ve already done, try re-creating the Address Book files that may have become corrupt, one at a time, as follows — or restore them from a backup if you have one:
1. Quit Address Book, Mail, and any other applications that might use Address Book for something. Or just quit all applications to be on the safe side.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/. Make a backup copy of this folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your contacts are stored.
3. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Move com.apple.AddressBook.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist (if it exists) out of there (e.g. to the Desktop). Check whether the problem is fixed.
4. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Caches/ and move the Address Book and com.apple.AddressBook folders to the Trash (there is no need to empty the Trash yet). Check whether the problem is fixed.
5. If Address Book keeps crashing, go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and trash any ABPerson.skIndex files you may see there. Check whether the problem is fixed.
6. If Address Book keeps crashing, try again trashing both AddressBook.data and any ABPerson.skIndex files that may have been re-created, then rename AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data.
7. If Address Book keeps crashing, try moving the entire AddressBook folder out of ~/Library/Application Support/.
The above procedure may introduce synchronization issues if you use .Mac or iSync to synchronize your Address Book with other computers or devices, so be sure to back up your Address Book data now if the problem is fixed.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?

Since last update on Mavericks, the picture attachement to a movie in iTunes no longer works. Any idea ?
Picture added is not displayed in the finder ; when transfering the movie to an Ipad, it is not displayed either.
iMac 27', Mavericks 10.9 + iTunes 11.1.2

Working here just fine. Try reinstalling:
Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
