I'm unable to connect iPhoto to my Facebook account

...using iPhoto 9.4.3. When I'm trying to set up my Fb account it seems everything's fine with the prompted steps on the way to creating it however when the drop down menu appears prompting me to enter my Fb account data and informing on sending to me some secret code that I have further to enter, nothing happens afterwards. I simply don't receive that SMS message. What I'm doing wrong?
Kindest regards,
I.S.

Oh, and it case it might be useful I'm on Safari 5.1.7.

Iphoto was unable to connect to iCloud photos on my mac. What should i do?

iPhoto was unable to connect to iCloud photos on my Mac. How do I solve this?

absolutely no idea sicne you provide no information
Best guess is to upgrade to iPhoto '11
Maybe if you provided some information including versions of iPhhoto and of the OS, details of exactly what you are doing, details of whathappens that keeps you from connection

IPhoto is frozen says "unable to connect"

I've been trying to access iPhoto to sync photos off of my iPhone and every time it opens it freezes with the spinning rainbow wheel and I have to force quit. In the top right corner of the program it says "Unable to connect". It opens automatically to Photo Stream and I can't click on anything else before it freezes. I have no clue what's wrong- I haven't done any software updates recently, only thing I can think of is a problem with Time Machine maybe but I can't access the iPhoto Preferences within the program to check anything. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Assuming you are running iPhoto 9 or latger apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto unable to connect to photostream

all i get is iphoto unable to connect to photostream, tried everything. Any suggestions?????

Ok. Here goes: First in/on my Imac I go to system preferences, select icloud. Everything will be checked except photostream. I check that as well. Then I open iphoto: Then select system preferences; select photostream. Enable. It acts like its going to work. Then get the dreaded message: Iphoto unable to connect to photostream.
I went to Icloud. com. I reset my icloud. Changed nothing. Same error message.
Looked for file name 3ivx. Dont have it. Whatever that means.
Iphoto and photostream work on my MBA, ipad 2 and even different accounts on my IMAC. Just not my account.
Tried. To re log into my icloud account. Same accout. Just to try and reset it. Nothing. This dam Iphoto and photostream will just not work on my Imac. New IMAC in july.
Also tried in iphoto: to say no thanks to photostream. Does not work or change anything except it does it pop up anymore. Still can go to iphoto preferences and try to enable it from there. Nothing.
I have never had a mobile me account. EVER

Error enabling photo stream "iphoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream"

Whenever I try to enable Photo Stream, it times out after awhile, and I get the following error: "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photo Stream." (see below [1]). I "tcpdump" shows that the computer is trying to open connections to akamai (unrelated?) but not apple. I am using iPhoto 9.2 build 626.
There is one oddity in this scenario : I have one iCloud account that I am trying to use between three computers. I was able to register iPhoto on my mac book pro, but it is failing on my second.
thanks in advance,

Good catch, nifmus. I'm kicking myself for not checking system.log earlier! I have very similar messages in mine.
By any chance is your Library folder (or part of it) relocated to a separate disk? Or your entire home folder? I have part of my Library folder on a SSD for speed, but my home folder and some of the larger Library subdirectories are on a regular disk because they wouldn't fit on the small SSD. It's all tied together with symbolic links, and without problems... until Photo Stream came along and didn't like it.
I knew that sandboxd was involved somehow, but your post prompted me to focus on it. It's definitely the problem here. I found the following sandbox profile file inside the iPhoto application bundle:
/Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/PhotoStreamAgent.app/Conten ts/Resources/PhotoStreamAgent.sb
Inside this file are a bunch of definitions to control what PhotoStreamAgent is allowed to do. There are a bunch of lines under an allow-file-write* declaration which should allow PhotoStreamAgent to write to the above files listed in your log. Lines such as:
(home-regex #"/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement")
(home-regex #"/Library/Preferences/com\.apple\.iLifeAssetManagement\.crash\.plist(\.[^/]+)? $")
And many others. In my case, I suspect that the problem may be related to the fact that the final absolute path of those files may differ from what you'd get if you just substituted my home directory in for "home-regex" since I have stuff relocated around. Although since I was able to get it working with a blank home directory, also put in place via a symbolic link (so the final path differs), I'm not 100% sure of this.
What I do know right now is that there is a quick "hack" that fixed it for me. I don't like the hack and would strongly recommend against it, because it's likely to break the next time there's a software update for iPhoto. But it works until I can find a permanent solution.
To make it work, I edited the above file and changed the second line from "(deny default)" to "(allow default)". This, of course, defeats the whole purpose of the sandbox by allowing PhotoStreamAgent to do anything it wants, but it also allows stuff that is really supposed to be allowed but fails anyway for us.
If you want to try this, it helps to be familiar with the unix underpinnings of OS X. There's probably a way to do it in the normal graphical user interface, but as a longtime unix guy, I just jumped to the command line and did a "sudo vi (that long filename)". To do it via the gui method, you'll have to navigate to that folder in Finder (quickest way is to hit Cmd-Shift-G and copy/paste the path, or right-click iPhoto and "Show Package Contents", then drill down to the file), edit the file, save a copy (because you don't have permission to modify it), then copy the new version over the old (it will ask for an admin password).
Again, I don't recommend this because it's likely to break in the future and defeats the security that Apple intended with the sandbox, but it's a quick fix. I'll continue to investigate as I have time, trying to find out precisely what's causing the failure with the default sandbox profile.

IPhoto was unable to connect to photo stream

When I try to enable Photo Stream I get the error message that is the title of this post. How do I fix this?

Hi LN,
It's iPhoto 9.2.1
In iCloud System Preference I selected the Photo Stream button but when I go to iPhoto to enable it there it fails with the message "unable to connect to Photo Stream" and when I go back to iCloud System Preference I find that the button has been UNselected.
Yes, it was working happily on all my devices. The problem cropped up after I did a reset on my iPhone. I don't know what that has to do with it, though, because both it and my iPad are happily connected to Photo Stream and pics I take with my phone show up on my iPad.
Thanks!

IPhoto says "unable to connect to Photo Stream"

So I just re-did my OS on my iMac, so everything was started from a clean slate.
I started adding user accounts, and had no problems whatsoever setting up my iCloud and PhotoStream in iPhoto. With that being said, after creating my moms user account, adding her iCloud, iPhoto says "unable to connect to photostream"
Any thoughts or ideas as to why it would say that?
Thanks!

Everything is where it should be After giving up last night for a bit I went to bed and decided to try it again this morning and suprisingly it worked. This was after I left all the Keychain Access items with the AppleID deleted.
Thanks!

Unable to connect to Facebook account through iPhoto '11

Alright, so I'm new to Facebook, finally caved in. I'm trying to add a photo to my wall using the share feature in iPhoto. Entered my account info, but it keeps giving me the following message and asking the account info again:
"Facebook ne reconnaît pas les données de connexion que vous avez saisies pour le compte [email protected]" which roughly translates to "Facebook doesn't recognize the connection data you entered for the account ..."
So I did some online searching, found that I need to have the platform apps active and iPhoto uploader, checked and it's all fine. Even disabled all apps and activated back again, recreated the info in iPhoto, still the same message.
Is there any other setting I'm missing?
Don't hesitate if you need more info.

Facebook just rolled out new account settings to use https whenever possible. Enabling this setting breaks the iPhoto 9.1.1 Facebook uploader. You can get iPhoto to work again by disabling this setting in Facebook account settings (account security), but you should keep this setting enabled whenever possible.
If this is your issue, please submit feedback to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html so they can fix the issue.

I just updated to lastest OS, i get error msg unable to connect to server. After update, I couldnt complete the update process. How do i fix?

I couldnt complete the process after the update. The system wouldnt accept my 2nd email address. Now i am unable to restart that process. I get Unable to connect to server everytime i try to access my ICloud from my iphone

If you buy an iLife '11 install DVD (eBay, Amazon) you could upgrade your iPhoto right away. The earlier iPhoto '11 versions are compatible with MacOS X 10.6.8.
but I can't until I upgrade from OS X 10.6.8. Trying to figure out how to do that...
To upgrade to Mt. Lion see here: You can buy it and download it from the appStore, if your mac is compatible:

HT4906 Photo Stream is unable to connect

Hello dear community,
iPhoto is "unable to connect" therefore, Photo stream is not updated.
I am connected to the internet both on my mac and my iPhone...
I have restored the Library database but still, no update and still the same message.
I am sure someone will know what to do.
Have a great day,
Carine

I was seeing the same thing. It just wasn't working any longer. I also thought it was broken. I'd read the "setup", checked my settings. My iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) Photo Stream is set to "On". My MacAir (OS 10.8.2) >System_Preferences>iCloud>Photo_Stream(checked)>Options>My_Photo_Stream(checke d)
I'd take a photo with my iPhone and it would no longer would automatically stream to my iCloud and then to my MacAir and iPad.
However, I just found the problem...I had my WiFi turned off on my iPhone and as soon as I turned it back on, the photos streamed to my MacAir. Problem solved.

I'm unable to connect iPhoto to my Facebook account
