IPhoto 11 trying to delete my facebook albums?

This is quite odd, but I just tried to publish a new photo album on Facebook via iPhoto 11. When I selected "publish a new album" it displayed a message saying that album X , Y, Z, etc., will be deleted.
Is there some way around this? Pretty strange :s
The even odder thing is that I still have the albums on my iPhoto album

Same thing happened to me too starting today. No new settings or anything. Spontaneously started to delete albums. Weird.
Here is the work-around that worked for me (for now anyway). I opened iPhoto preferences and deleted my facebook account- a warning came up that all facebook albums would be deleted from my application (not fb itself). Why not? I reopened iPhoto, I then went to 'share' another album with fb, the app asked fb account info and after a few minutes (during which the album did not upload) the app went back to the main iPhoto album page. I tried to upload the fotos again, this time all my regular fb albums reappeared in iPhoto and the current album uploaded without any problem. We shall see if this occurs again.
Good luck!

Any way to get iPhoto'09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?

Is there any way to get iPhoto '09 to recognise existing Facebook albums?
It would be nice to have all the previous albums I've uploaded to be listed in iPhoto and all the 100's of people I've already tagged would serve as a nice basis for the iPhoto face detection to learn who my friends are!

This is an interesting workaround, but misses the spirit of the original post. I don't know a way to get iPhoto '09 to recognize existing FB albums, but I agree that this is a serious problem with iPhoto '09.
The iPhoto '09 Facebook and Flickr uploaders have one "cool" feature - they automatically sync iPhotos events with FB "albums" or Flickr "sets", so if you make changes to the photos in iPhoto, then those changes are reflected in the photos on FB and Flickr automagically (this has been working for me in FB but not in Flickr). The more I use this the more I think it's more trouble than it is useful and I wish I could turn it off and just use the old exporters without syncing.
There are problems with the exporters:
(1) the constant syncing with FB/Flickr can get annoying if you're making several changes, if you have a slow internet connection or slow computer.
(2) If you don't actually want the changes to be reflected in the FB/Flickr album (i.e. i delete photos out of iPhoto to make room on my disk for more photos and now the photos are deleted out of facebook) can get not as user friendly as the original Facebook and Flickr exporter was easier and more user-friendly.
(3) syncing is cool for a computer programmer to do, but what if users don't want it all the time? What if I don't want my Facebook albums to be exactly the same as my iPhoto albums, and I don't want to split out all the photos that I don't want on Facebook into separate events in iPhoto? This lack of support for the truly useful & user friendly (if a bit boring) features is a really unfortunate oversight.
(3a) in the old version: i can quickly and easily choose exactly which photos from which events I want to upload to FB.
(3b) as the original questioner mentioned: I can choose whether to upload to into a *new or existing album*. Hands down, this was *the single best feature* of the previous uploaders.
(in Flickr this is of paramount importance since the free Flickr account only allows 3 "sets" - so, since this fancy iPhoto syncing links your events to sets in Flickr, you'd have to create 3 massive Flickr-only events in iPhoto in order to stay within their restrictions. I like to keep my iPhotos events separate, but I'm perfectly happy uploading photos from different events into one of my three Flickr sets. i'm pretty sure i can still do this with FFXporter or similar.)
(3b) in the old version: all the photos i upload are put into a "pending" album on FB so that I can tag people, delete some photos (without deleting them off my own iPhoto), etc. before sharing them with all my friends. I'd like to have at least the option to choose whether they go into a pending album first or not.
(3c) it's further annoying that you cannot browse your iPhoto library directly (from most websites) when searching for photos to upload, you have to export the files first, then browse to where the photos were exported.

After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone.
After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!)
Is there any way I can get my songs back?
When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
Thanks

Iphoto 9.4.2 states facebook album has been deleted

When I try to upload fotos to Facebook the upload stops/crashes and then I receive a message stating that some random facebook album has been deleted. hen I check the photos remain but the upload is now stopped and I must redo.
Is there a fix?

Thanks LN.
I tried. It would not download. A drop down notice said an error had occurred and to return to the purchase page; which I have done on numerous occasions. (What I am to do on the purchase page I am not sure, other than to click on purchases and see that the same iPhoto download is available. By the way, this was not purchased. It just showed up with two other items free items, which did download nicely.)

IPhoto won't let me delete my facebook albums

I have recently deleted both of my facebook user accounts, but the "facebook albums" I created in iPhoto are still there. How do I delete them? I have tried selecting them and pressing the delete key on my laptop, and I have tried selecting them while depressing Option, or Command, or Control or Shift. If the delete option pops up at all, its grayed out/not selectable. I am using a MacBook Pro. Can anyone help me?

Greetings,
What version of iPhoto are you running? (iPhoto > About iPhoto)

Iphoto deletes my facebook albums

I'm having a serious issue with my iphoto program!
Whenever I use the tool in iphoto to 'share' an album from my iphoto to facebook, I click on share, facebook, new album... & automatically, a pop up appears saying that one of my facebook albums (a different one each time) has been removed from facebook & would I like to save the photos in an event on iphoto or just delete them!
This has lead to my having numerous of my facebook albums removed from my facebook. I never once manually deleted them or moved them, or did anything remotely similar; iphoto seems to be doing it all on its own & its extremely frustrating as when it removes my albums, i obviously loose all the data on facebook that goes with that album ie: comments, likes, etc...
PLEASE help!!!!

I thought this problem was solved, but it happened again to my wife tonight. It makes me 16 shades of purple MAD!!! WHY is iPhoto deleting Facebook albums?! EVER?!? If I go and add or change an album in my browser, the next time iPhoto wakes up, it should DOWNLOAD and KEEP my albums as i left them on FB. Obviously, FB is always the most current version I want.

Trying To Delete an Uploaded Album

Hi Guys,
Sometime ago, I created an album in iPhoto and uploaded it to share on my Mobileme account. I have since then deleted the original album, but there is still an upload mobileme symbol of it under the mobileme gallery section on iphoto.
How can I get rid of it? When I click on it, and go to Photos-Delete Album, iPhoto application just completely quits and I have to restart it - so something is clearly not happy somewhere? Any ideas?
Thanks

First close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps. If not launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
Have you tried selecting that MobileMe gallery and using the Delete key?

Weird Error when trying to delete a flickr album

http://bayimg.com/GAkNMAAcn
I tried to delete a linked flickr album created through aperture but got this error. No reaction when I click either button, I forced a quit and then tried to delete it again but the same thing happened.
What should I do to delete the album?

That's not an error message that you've posted - that's a dialog box asking you to confirm your deletion request. (Potentially 'saving you from yourself'.)
That aside, the issue is that you can't actually carry out the deletion. A stuck object like this is possibly a good reason to run some [Library First Aid|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]...
Or... Have you done any independent album management over at Flickr? If you have, that might have broken the connection between Flickr and Aperture leading to this issue.
Or... Is your software (operating system and Aperture) fully patched?
Hope something here helps.
Regards,
Gary

Trying to delete a MobileMe album causes Aperture 3 to crash every time.

I published an album to my MobileMe Gallery from Aperture 3 (as a test), and now I want to delete it from MobileMe. However, every single time I tried to do this in Aperture 3, the app crashed (and I sent those reports to Apple). As a last resort, I logged into MobileMe directly and was able to delete the album there, but it still shows up under "MobileMe Galleries" in Aperture. How do I fix this problem? I am up to date on software, I think (3.0.2). Thanks for any help you can provide.

TThanks for that Linc.
tried that but mail still crashed. So modified it a bit. I archived my important emails and then erased the mailbox itself so that all messages were deleted. This was successful.

Aperture deleted several Facebook albums during the sync process--what can I do?

After I enabled the sync between Facebook and Apeture---the program began downloading albums and "republishing" them to Facebook. However, it wasn't able to download all of my albums which resulted in the app from being able to "publish" them back to Facebook. The albums are now lost. Never experienced this problem with Picasa. Only began when I started using Aperture.

Same issue here. Lost every photo in eight albums! It's trully a travesty since these were the only copies I had of these pictures and was precisely the reason I was trying to sync to Aperture!
And before I get scolded for not having backups, I did (Macbook, iPad, TimeMachine). Due to a series of unfortunate events, however, they were lost as well.
Keep backups and download your FB data often!

I am trying to delete multiple photo albums from itunes and cannot locate a delete method on the itunes page. I tried deleting from my iP4 but cannot locate a delete tab other than the one on the camera roll section. Any suggestions would be a help

I am trying to remove photos from itunes so I can resync my ip4 and remove all the photos that were transferred from my Win7 PC when I synced the phone. No tabs on the phone to delete so I assume I will need to delete from itunes and resync the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
JM

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

Is there anyway to recover Facebook albums deleted in iPhoto?

can anyone please help.

Facebook albums missing after upgrade to iPhoto '11

I installed iPhoto '11 on my wife's iMac. She had probably 30 or more Facebook albums that showed up on the left side of the screen in iPhoto '09. After the upgrade there is just one icon that shows she has an account but none of her previous albums appear below it.
HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Now whenever she tries to upload photos to Facebook a message appears in iPhoto and asks to delete her albums off of Facebook. One message per album that formerly appeared in iPhoto '09. We accidentally deleted a few albums before I realized that it actually removes them from her Facebook page.
I can't find this problem in any other thread. Help! What can we do?

OK, I have had some success with resolving this particular problem.
*Step 1:* I quit out of iPhoto 11 and went to my FaceBook account. Under the Account tab, menu item account settings, you can change your password.
*Step 2:* After changing your FaceBook password, open iPhoto 11. Click on the FaceBook icon. You will get an error message, just cancel out of it.
*Step 3:* Delete every FaceBook album. (This may take a degree of faith ) Its not really deleting them from FaceBook as long as you are not connected to FaceBook from iPhoto.
*Step 4:* Open iPhoto preferences go to accounts and click on your facebook account. Enter your new password. This will reconnect you to Facebook. Your FaceBook photo albums will rebuild and download to your iPhoto program. Life will be cool again
This worked for me. Hopefully for you too.
Additionally if you wanted to try to change your FaceBook password back again I don't see why that wouldn't work as well. The important thing is deleting the current albums displayed in iPhoto without being connected to FaceBook.

How can i delete a photo album that has been synced from another computer

I am trying to delete a photo album that I do not need anymore from an iPad 4. But the album has been synced from a computer that I don't have access to anymore. Is there anyway around this ?

Photos that were synced from a computer can only be deleted by connecting to a computer's iTunes and changing the sync selection on the device's Photos tab.
Is that the only album that was synced from that computer (and you now sync the iPad to a different computer ?), or do you have other albums from it that you want to keep on the iPad ? If you want to keep one or more albums on it then they will need to be on the computer that you sync to so that they can be selected on the Photos tab and re-copied to the iPad from that computer. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder
