Flickr upload syncing

Using the Flickr uploader changes information in photos. Why is the following happening? Any way to change it.
1. It causes them to take on the date of the upload to Flickr rather than their actual EXIF date. This is annoying me to death since I like to have my photos organized by date correctly.
2. The original file takes on the name of Flickr's custom name for the image. This means that when I import folders, the original file thinks it hasn't been imported yet and tries to again.

I am also of the view that the Flickr publishing in LR (inc 3.4RC) is seriously broken in several respects including a failure to be able to republish a set of photos which are private and not publically searchable – an API error occurs on republishing.  Also for your publically published photos if you ever re-publish, they become marked as not-publically searchable when they get to Flickr.     This may be relevant if you expect your photos to be publically found based on your tagging or titles showing up in searches.   
I too recommend Jeffrey Friedl’s plugin until such as time as Adobe chose to fix this or strike up a commercial relationship with Jeffrey to ship his.

  • Tags/Captions and Flickr Upload w/ PSE4

    Not sure if this is a PSE problem or a Flickr problem, figured I'd ask here first to see if anyone else uploads to Flickr.
    I caption and tag my pictures in PSE, then do a "write tags to file". When I upload those pictures to Flickr (using the Flickr Uploader), maybe 95% do not have a caption, and 5% does. The difference with that 5% is that those are pictures I've edited within PSE multiple times. It seems like either my PSE captions aren't getting saved with the rest of the pictures, or Flickr isn't pulling them.
    Anyone have any experiences either way or ideas? Please tell me there's a way to fix this.

    Initially I imagine it not being integrated directly into PSE. In other words it wouldn't be a drop down in the share button toolbar. I've done a little bit of research and poked around in the data files and haven't found a way that I could integrate it just yet but I'm still looking. This would definitely be cool to do.
    When you say, "ability to chose to send tags and captions with the pictures without having to write tags to the original file," I assume you mean not writing to the meta data of the image? Here's a quick step-by-step overview of how I imagine the app working that should hopefully clarify this point as well as make it more clear how I imagine the app running.
    Let me preface the description by saying I would try and write the application in such a way where it could easily be expanded to support other photo sharing services and possibly other photo cataloging apps (though this is much less of a priority).
    1.) Start PSESync (this was just an initial name idea. If anybody has any name suggestions I would love to hear them).
    2.) Choose a catalog to work with (file dialog, drop-down, etc).
    3.) Choose a service to sync your catalog with (this would initially only be Flickr but could be branched out to another service or even a simple XML output).
    5.) Enter in needed parameters for the service (in the case of Flickr the username and password of the account your using)
    4.) Press the "Analyze" button.
    5.) PSESync will first check to see if your catalog has ever been synced with the selected service before. If not it will create a new table in the catalog database to contain the sync information.
    6.) PSESync will then sync your images (including captions and tag information) and collections with the service. No changes will be made to the images at sync time, only the data that PSE keeps (captions, tags, etc). I may include automatic resizing of images when a new image is uploaded but this would probably come after the initial release.
    By syncing I mean any information that is newer in the catalog then they are in the service will overwrite data in the service and any information that is newer in the service will overwrite the data in the catalog. The details of how this process would work are still being worked out.
    I'm hoping that in the next couple of days I can get the basics of PSESync scoped and also get create the project on Sourceforge (http://www.sourceforge.net) to track feature requests, bugs, etc. I'll post that information when it's available but for the time being if anybody has any suggestions I'm all ears.

  • Flickr upload lacking?

    Does anyone else think the Flickr upload is lacking?? You can't tell it where to add the photos, cant create new sets and can't tag photos. Everything I could do with my 3rd party addon in iPhoto 08.

    Not quite true. You can tag photos in iPhoto, and they will sync with flickr. Make sure "Keywords" is ticked in the View menu, and you can add tags to your photos by clicking the line of text underneath them. These keywords will upload to flickr as tags.
    In fact if you then add more tags in flickr, they'll sync back to iPhoto too.
    You can't specify an existing set to put photos in. It will create a new set based on the date, but you can then rename this set (in either flickr or iPhoto) and it will do the right thing.
    There are definitely shortfalls - you can't specify the privacy of photos beyond private/public (no friends and family options).
    If you add more photos to that set in flickr, iPhoto actually downloads them and you can see them in iPhoto. But they're only "half" there. You can't see them in Photos or Events, but they'll appear in Slideshows.
    And this isn't right either; if you drag a photos that's already in a sync'ed set to another sync'ed set (or downloaded as above), rather than just placing the already uploaded photo in both sets, you get another instance of the photo uploaded in your photostream (which will then have different comment streams etc)
    And I haven't dared trying to use two different iPhoto installations to sync to the same flickr account yet.
    What'd I'd love is to have iPhoto use the EXIF data on the photos in flickr and the ones in my library to sync up all the photos that I have already uploaded. If it could merge the tags, and take a description if one's set that'd be ideal. Titles would be more problematic because I've often changed them in one location or an other from the usual DCIM1234 style, but it could make an educated guess as to which one is right.
    There's a way to go before it's ideal, but it's looking very promising.

  • Trying to upload/sync setting in photoshop and it uploads all the way to 469mb then I get an error message that it can't connect to CC

    I have been trying all day with the same results
    I was on live chat but we got disconnected and now they said I would have to wait till Monday.
    Really hoping to get this resolved. I just now restarted my computer and the upload sync is 268mb of 469mb

    it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
    Sometimes we can get past that one by disabling the Bonjour Service prior to the install.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Flickr uploading

    I realize the integrated Flickr uploading in Aperture 3 is limited and I may simply need to move to a 3rd party ap. Still, I have a question.
    I have Aperture 3 installed on my iMac and MBP. If I create a Flickr group to upload on the MBP it does not appear in the iMac. I understand that Aperture3 won't see sets created in Flickr unless they were created by Aperture, but is there a way that I can get a group to appear in both instances of Aperture 3 if the group was created by Aperture?

  • Flickr upload failures in Mac PSE 9

    Hi, I've not yet managed to get Flickr upload working in PSE 9 on MacOS 10.6.6.
    The symptom is that the upload brings up a blank, white window which is rapidly replaced by a grey window with the error:
    Sorry, an error occurred during the uploading process. Please try again later.
    On the first attempt, I was invited to authorise Adobe PhotoServices to access my Flickr account and this appeared to go OK, but then the upload failed.  I've followed troubleshooting advie from Adobe on the web but to no avail.
    I did manage to upload from a PC running PSE9 and the MAC upload worked once afterwards, but has failed ever since.
    Has anyone go any suggestions please?

    Thanks Barbara, I assumed it would be the same as Windows.

    Perhaps try the Editor top menu:
    File > Process Multiple Files
    Then choose an output folder on your hard drive or CD/DVD etc.
    Otherwise use iPhoto: 
    File -> Export, Kind: Original etc.

  • Can Creative Cloud alert me when a client leaves a comment on uploaded / sync'd artwork?

    As above really, Can Creative Cloud alert me when a client leaves a comment on uploaded / sync'd artwork? When clients comment on files at the moment I get no notification of the comment I have to check the files manually which is an extra step in our work flow and not ideal.

  • Uploading (sync) selected music from another computer?

    How do you upload (sync) selected music from another computer?

    If you want to use more than one computer with your iPod, then I would suggest using "Manually manage music and video" mode. I say that because when you go to the other computer and plug it in then your iPod is going to be erased of what is currently on it, and replaced with what your other computer has on it in iTunes. In order to get to that mode I mentioned up there you load up iTunes making sure that your iPod is connected and listed in iTunes, after it is all done syncing, click on your iPod in the source list, and then click on "Manually manage music and videos". If I were you, I would do this procedure on the computer that you have already plugged your iPod into, then after the procedure, you can use the other one. You are also going to have to go through an "Authorization" procedure. In order to do that, click on "Advanced" in iTunes and then scroll down to "Authorize this computer" and then follow any directions you may see. Oh and don't forget to click "Apply" at the bottom right of iTunes. Then you should be all set to use both computers. This will make it though so you have to manually copy music to your iPod as well as manually eject your iPod from iTunes.

  • Chromium crash on flickr uploader a other pages [SOLVED]

    Since a couple of updates chromium crashes on a few pages. Flickr uploader and wordpress.com blogs are an example.
    There is no aparent reason. The system is 64bits, Intel graphic card and it's updated. I cannot get some verbose output from chromium executed from shell, so I have no idea of what's happening. I've tried using incognito mode and change flash for pepper flash lib and the problem is still there.
    Anything you need just ask me.
    Sorry for my english. Thank you in advance.

    If you run the system, create another user and try something with that user (which uses a clean chromium profile). If everything goes right, you just need to clean your user's profile (that means losing bookmarks, history, and saved passwords, so think about making a backup).
    If the problem persists with the new user, well, no idea, but at least you'll keep your profile as it is right now

  • Order of pictures in Flickr after sync?

    It seems that after I synced an iPhoto album to Flickr, the images in the Flickr set appear in the order in which I added them to iPhoto. Quite annoying, I'd rather have them in the date order as in iPhoto.
    Is there a way to get this done?

    Hmm, I know I can manually sort pictures in Flickr, but I'm a lazy person and like the default sorting in iPhoto just fine. It's kind of annoying to have to go to flickr for every set I upload and reorder the pictures.

  • How can I use more than one Facebook ID in Photos? (Plus, Flickr upload issues!)

    I'm having problems with the new Photos and ability to share images from the application. It seems I can only have my personal Facebook ID, and can't add a second ID (which is my business page, which I also like to post images to).
    Any idea how to add a Facebook Page ID?
    Also having major problems with Flickr. Seems inputting my user name (through System Preferences) does not match my actual user name in the Flickr app, so I can't upload images. UGH. (Why was this okay in iPhoto, but not now?) The only way to access Flickr is inputting your Yahoo ID, but if your Yahoo ID is different than your actual user name on Flickr, you're screwed.
    Any ideas? I tried deleting the profile, but I still can't input my Flickr name.
    Thanks.

    So, after trying to upload an album four times, it seems it finally kicked in/made the connection on Flickr. MAGIC.
    A second Facebook ID, however, remains a mystery.
