Iphoto albums on Facebook

I've uploaded a bunch of photo albums to Facebook using Iphoto, and everything worked fine.
However now I'm cleaning out my laptop and backing everything up, and would like to delete a lot of the pictures from my harddrive. I've noticed that if I do so, the pictures will also be deleted from Iphoto and in turn from my albums on Facebook.
Is there any way to make the albums I've posted on facebook through Iphoto permanent?

Not if you upload them using iphoto - as advertised iPhoto and Facebook stay in sync - if you do not want that do not use iPhoto to upload - use the face book uploader or just a standard web upload

Where are deleted iPhoto albums from facebook on a Mac?

I uploaded 4 pics from my cousin Mac onto my facebok account, whyle doing so I sinc my fc account to iPhoto, all was just fine up to when my cousin deleted my albums from iPhoto deleting this way all of my 93 albums on facebook too. Would anybody know if my albums are recoverable from somewhere on his Mac, he had a look but only found the covers i.e. one pic for each album?

Problem solved.
I played with it some more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable to the AppleScript script that was the problem. I was using "on run argv", which I read on some site earlier today as being how AppleScript handles arguments that are passed to it. More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses an array pre-defined as "arguments" whenever AppleScript passes a variable to it. So, on a lark, I decided to try using "arguments" the other way 'round (I also had to add an extra set of quote marks on the "do script" line because AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them:
set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
end tell
And that did it! I can now pass a variable all the way from the top-level JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign code to the bottom-level JavaScript Acrobat code! YAY!

IPhoto deleting albums from Facebook, etc., etc.

So. I was trying to upload an album to Facebook. Now iPhoto is in permanent freakout mode. It sends me numeros, repeated messages that an album I created on Facebook has been deleted. And some of the names of these albums are ones which I did send to Facebook but the others are albums i created exclusively for iPhoto. I can no longer get iPhoto to shut down without force-quitting.
My Mac knowledge is limited and I need help. I have a feeling this is the long dreaded system crash about to happen. Certainly iPhoto seems to be crashing. It runs slower and slower.
iMac IOS 10.7.5, iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2

"permanent freakout mode" is not a condition I've come across.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto will not allow me to share an album with Facebook

In the past, I have uploaded albums in iPhoto to my Facebook page. Easy, peasy. Tonight, though, the Facebook link in the "Share" function is dead. What gives?

Try going to System Preferences > Internet Accounts > Delete your Facebook account from the list.
Then try to share again and see if it prompts you to log in.

IPhoto interacting with Facebook Albums...

I just reorganized all of my facebook photos into new albums. I wanted to upload some more photos directly from iPhoto but it is NOT recognizing any of my new albums. How do I get it to bring in the names of these new albums so I can use them properly? Is it some kind of re-booting I need to do?? Preferences??
Thank you...

That is not the way it works
You can not "link" iPhoto to existing Facebook albums - you create them in iPhoto and then there is bi-directional syncing between that album in facebook and iPhoto. If you create albums in Facebook you can not manage them from iPhoto - only albums created in iPhoto

I deleted my albums from Facebook while cleaning my iPhoto archive.. Does anyone know if i can get them back and how? thanks!

while cleaning my iPhoto archive
What do you mean by that? Do you mean you deleted photos or albums from your iPhoto Library?
You best solution is to use Time Machine to restore your library from just before you "cleaned your iPhoto archive".

Copying photo albums from facebook to iphoto?!

You cannot import web based photo albums into iPhoto.

Publishing albums to Facebook duplicates events in iPhoto '09

Hello,
I am facing a strange issue, sometimes after publishing an album on facebook I found it duplicated in the Events section of iPhoto (sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few days).
Is anybody else facing the same issue?
Any hints about how to fix it?
My library size is 68Gb, 27577 photos, 622 Events.
Thanks,
Michele

Hi!
when I want to publish on facebook I select the event and then click on the facebook icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. Then it asks me if I want to publish and I click on the "publish" button.
What do you mean by automatically?
In Preferences->Web "Check for new published photos" it is set "Automatically"
In Preferences->Advanced "Look up Places" is set to "Automatically"
I did not find any "automatically" option anywhere else.
Thanks for your help,
Mic

Does iphoto automatically download facebook albums?

*** you can skip the next paragraph***
I've been scanning, sorting and uploading family photos over the past few days and I'm finding iPhoto's integration with various web services ennerving.
First, hundreds of megabytes of photos started uploading to photostream, seemingly at full quality, I stopped the process after about 300MB had been uploaded. The behaviour of uploading full quality photos to Photostream is ********! Some of the photos were about 10MB each...
Anyway I found the setting for that and disabled it, it's in the PhotoStream preference tab.
Now I noticed that after uploading an album to Facebook with the share feature, iPhoto didn't want to let me change anything locally without changing it on Facebook too. So some photos that were mainly of friends of the family, that I wanted to delete locally, because it's no one I really care about, but keep on facebook, but iPhoto wanted to remove them from Facebook too! And the opposite problem, some photos (rare) are somewhat inapropriate for Facebook, whether it being me naked at 1 year old or throwing up all over the place (examples, not necessarily my situation), but I can't choose to omit any photos from my albums for sharing on facebook either, it wants the whole album or nothing at all. What the ****.
Now I thought I was being smart by exporting a bunch of photos to file and manually uploading them to facebook, thus avoiding all these sync. problems I just described. But as soon as the album was manually uploaded, iPhoto decides to download all those photos from Facebook to synchronize my computer to facebook 100%. What the f#&^?! That's exactly what I wanted to get around. And now I have duplicates of a 100+ photo album and my only option is to revert to sharing it from iPhoto, thus uploading all the **** photos again and losing all control.
Is there any way around this? I suppose I could just disconnect facebook from my iPhoto...

When I use iPhoto for iOS to share to Facebook I first get a chance to share one photo or select several.
Then I see a choice to upload to an album, usually Wall Photos, but there in only that one album visible.
Tap on that album and more choices come up. These include, eventually, all of my albums. I can then choose the album to which I want to upload the photo(s).

IPhoto crashes or freezes when I try to upload my album on Facebook

As said in the title, it's a couple of months that it's impossible for me to upload my album on Facebook. The application crashes or freezes without ending the upload process. My OS is 10.7.5 Lion, 2,2 Ghz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3. iPhoto 11, 9.4.2. I already tried deleting the preferences files .plist, deleting my Facebook account (in iPhoto), uninstalling and re-installing iPhoto but nothing to do. I don't think it could be an account problem, because on my brother's Mac i can upload albums with my Facebook account and its iPhoto. Someone can help me?

How do you export iPhoto albums to an external drive and have all the albums still labeled?

I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help. Can anyone help with this?
Also, I'm new to mac and i'm noticing iphotos has a lot of limitations...I can't save photos automatically to folders/albums in iphoto bc it doesnt show in the finder, I can't upload to facebook without doing it from iphoto, and I obviously can't save to external drive easily just yet. Should I just be saving all of my photos in Pictures in the finder? Is there a way you can save them in pictures and then be able to open them in iphotos? I'm getting so frustrated and ready to go back to my PC. =(

A couple of general comments:
1. iPhoto is not compulsory. You don't have to use it.
2. But if you do, then you're going to need to make a small conceptual leap, and learn just a little.
The Conceptual Leap: Your Files and your Photos are not the same thing. The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
The Learning: iPhoto replaces the Finder (or file browser) for everything to do with your Photo. And I do mean everything. Organising, Editing, sharing with other apps, printing, uploading, whatever are all done either with or via iPhoto. It's you "go-to" for anything to do with your Photos.
The upshot of that is that how (or where) the files are stored doesn't matter - as long as they are safe and backed up - because after importing to iPhoto you never directly access those files again.
So, you want to organise your Photos: do it in the iPhoto Window. Events, Albums, Keywords, and so on. You do all your work via that window or the media browsers that make the Library available in every app in the OS.
So: want to edit a photo, but not with iPhoto? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
How to access the Photos for whatever reason you may need them see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
For details of the Export dialogue: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
You can more or less recreate your folder tree in the iPhoto Window - start at the bottom of your tree and drag folder of images to the Albums Heading. iPhoto will import the images and make an album of them. Then File -> New Folder and drag the Album to that. Folders can hold nested folders and Albums. And so work from there.
But if your folder tree is date based that's a bit pointless, as the Calendar search and Smart Albums make it pretty redundant. With these you can find any photos from a specific day, week, month, year or date-range in the Library.
If the folder tree is theme based, then keywords will a more effective way of working.
And Albums are more flexible that folders in the Finder, as an image can be in any number of Albums and use no extra disk space whatever.
So, it's a whole new way of working with photos for you.
To your specific questions:
I am having an issue exporting the iphoto albums to an external drive. When I do it, it either just drops all the pictures in together or it separates them by events, but my iphotos are arranged in albums, not events so that doesn't help
Export them one album at a time.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
But given the above... why are you doing this? You're defeating the non-destructive workflow by doing it. Are you trying to back up?
.I can't save photos automatically to folders/albums in iphoto bc it doesnt show in the finder,
Not clear exactly what you're asking here, but does the above open some ideas?
I can't upload to facebook without doing it from iphoto
Yeah you can... For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
It's the first one...
and I obviously can't save to external drive easily just yet.
Yeah you can but what exactly are you trying to save, and, again, why? Different purposes have different workflows.
Should I just be saving all of my photos in Pictures in the finder?
That's a personal choics, but not if you plan on using iPhoto. And as I started with iPhoto is not compulsory... As to why you shouldn't with iPhoto:

Reasons for bothering to learn...
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

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.
