Freezing Share button with Facebook

For two months now my Share button has been freezing when I try to share something with Facebook. I thought it would be temporary, but now it just freezes and I have to reboot to keep it going...no need to say the link never gets to Facebook. What do I do?!?!?!

Try sharing from the
Share Source sample to see if it can share the data you want to Facebook and Twitter. If not then the problem is that those Share Targets don't do what you need.
In that case you would need to go directly to the Facebook and Twitter APIs. You can find information on those from https://developers.facebook.com/ and http://dev.twitter.com

  • How can I add a custom made share button for Facebook?

    Hi!
    I have built a custom "share"-button for Facebook (with an additional layer for rollover/active states, using photoshop), but I don't know how to make it work?
    What code do I have to use, or can I just create a link using my button? What would the adress be?
    I googled this but couln't find anything that helped...
    Thanks in advance!

    It doesn't appear so simple Tobi. The image is pulled from Facebook's servers and the button in itself is an altogether different HTML page from Facebook shown on your site within an iFrame.
    I found something similar to your request (this requires PHP support on your server). Please check the below link.

  • When I share photos with Facebook, multiple photos are posted even though I only check off a few.  How can I stop this?

    When I share photos to Facebook, multiple photos that I didn't choose are posted.  How can I prevent this?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

    Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
    I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
    I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
    So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
    However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
    I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
    I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos  look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
    Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
    Regards

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when trying to share photos with facebook?

    In i photo there is a facebook button-and I keep getting an error message when I try to sign in and use it any ideas why?

    Kind of hard to answer without some details such as iPhoto version and OS version. Are you signed into your Facebook account?

  • App will not allow me to share photos with facebook? How do i fix this? It has always worked before until facebook did their update

    Everytime I go to share, it acts like it's going to facebook then goes right back to the selected/choose page. Please help. Have already deleted app and reinstalled. Still not working!!

    Some other users here have had to delete the new Facebook.app from their iPhone then log in to Facebook through the iPhoto.app and then reinstall the Facebook.app. It seems that iPhoto and the new Facebook.app are not cooperating.

  • Sharing a link to Facebook, the "share" button is not available in the window and I can't resize to access it. How do I make it work?

    I have Windows 8.1, touchscreen. When responding to an issues email that then gives me the option to share on Facebook, the resulting share window does not format so that the share button is accessible to click or press. Thus, I cannot share anything. I have tried resizing the share window, but it just jumps around and never makes the button accessible.

    I understand that the share button on Facebook jumps around. Does this also happen in safe mode?
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Facebook share button not working

    i try useing the share button for facebook not working . share button for tweeter working ok any help please

    Dear jscher2000, thank you for your response! I'm running 16.01 version, so the 3.6.20 version isn't the correct one. I've updated it yesterday.
    I also have to mention that today everything seems to work just fine! :) I don't experience the problems anymore and all links work again just normally, eventhough I'm logged into Facebook account. Maybe it was just a temporary bug.
    I couldn't say what was the reason to that solution, but I'm glad there aren't problems anymore with Mozilla.
    Thank you again and best regards,
    Nina

  • Share buttons

    I have put together a website, including blog pages, and want to install share buttons (twitter, facebook, delicious, sharethis, etc). Installing the twitter button on the front page was easy enough but I am not sure how to set up an array of buttons that displays on each page I want it to. Many thanks for any help.

    Koelin method is good, I use another tutorial here: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebTell_afriend.html
    It works great for "Tell A Friend" share tool (see my site and try it: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html , as you can see I have it on all my pages). The only draw back about his method is that you must reapply the code everytime you publish; but with MassReplaceIt it's a breeze.
    Good luck Thierry

  • How to add the Social Network share buttons (that work!) to share INDIVIDUAL post from the same page

    How to add the Social Network share buttons like Facebook and Twitter (that work!) to share INDIVIDUAL post on the same web address in Dreamweaver? I have searched on google and youtube tutorials, but most of them are "Blogger" and  "Wordpress" users.. The only Dreamweaver tutorial is the one that share THE WHOLE page (not individual post on a page). There is Facebook Integration on Dreamweaver (29 Dollar download from Adobe) but so far no review about it so  I don't want to spend money for something I don't know.  There is also Sharrre but they say there is a bug. It seems like everyone out there use these buttons but I start to get crazy since it seems easy but it's actually complicated to get the html or js script to paste on! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Cool,
    Here is my test site. I have made at least 3 articles (Fashion, Sport, and Art) with thumbnail images on it.
    http://andiratih.free.fr/
    On each article I add the share buttons from "AddThis".
    However, if I want to ONLY share the "Sport article" on Facebook by clicking share-->Facebook, then the feed is scrambling my images on other articles too and it eventually just share the whole page instead of one particular article.
    It is now fine since I only build 3 articles, but as you see when the page is getting long with at least 20 articles it will not be ok.
    I don't want to make individual page for each article either, since they are just short article each, and I intend to use this page as a welcome page to update the latest activity every half year.
    I have seen many bloggers or pages where even if they have many article on ONE page, they are able to share one particular article to Facebook, and when we click (via Facebook) it will redirect us to exactly that particular article even if the article is on the bottom of the page, and not just bring me to the top of the page only and have to search by myself by scrolling to the bottom of the page to see the article.
    Infact, Bloggers and Wordpress seems to have the tool for that so that we can just click and add. I am not a Blogger or Wordpress users but I saw youtube tutorials on that.
    I have heard about Dreamweaver behavior, and does this will help to achieve what I want (sorry I'm a beginner)? I also heard about meta tags but I don't know how and where to get them to paste to my html source code.
    I have found several sites where the person show how to do this, but when I tried it didn't work, and in fact some other discussions about this are never solved.
    Thanks for your input.

  • Need help with adding Facebook share button

    I need to add a simple Facebook share button in the row of social share buttons at the bottom of the page http://www.ottawapatentagency.com  I just need a simple button, I don't need any counts, nor any analytics. I tried to insert the code from the Facebook developers pages and follow the instructions, but I can't do it.
    I am neither a Facebook developer nor a programmer, for that matter, help!

    Have you created your Facebook share button code from the Facebook resource page below:
    Share Button
    Once you have done that copy the code and paste it in your pages code, directly after the opening <body> tag.
    Then add the <div> in which your Facebook share button will appear directly before your Google plus <div> (see below)
    <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-width="200" data-type="button_count"></div>
    <div class="g-plus" data-action="share" data-annotation="none" data-href="http://www.ottawapatentagency.com/index.html#reaching_out"></div>

  • The share button disappeared from my Facebook add-on just before I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I thought by upgrading and reinstalling the add-on it might come back, but it didn't. All other FB buttons are there, near as I can tell. Any ideas? I'm using XP3.
