Iphoto and facebook issues

My Iphoto library is showing exclamation marks where pictures once existed. These exclamation marks are all my Facebook albums. How do I make the pictures re-appear in my library?

where do you see these? When viewing events? when en=larging a single photo? What version of iPhoto? What has recently changed? Have you cleaned your disk or run any cleanup software like CleanMyMac2 or KacKeeper (Hint - Never use those programs - they are not needed and often damage the iPhoto library and the system)

IPhoto and Facebook issue

I cannot get an album to upload to Facebook. I just uploaded an album last Sunday. Yesterday and today no luck. I may get 1 or two photos up but most of the time it just says pending or publishing thumbnails and hangs there. HELP (Using 9.1.3 version of iPhoto 11) Published to Flickr with no issues.

Geoff
There have been loads of problem the last week with Facebook photos. Google Facebook photo upload.
In my case, Sunday Facebook deleted all my photos from recent albums uploaded via iPhoto. Had been working fine. Album uploaded yesterday works fine.
Anyway it appears the problem is a Facebook server snafu that may have occurred during Facebook system maintenance. Facebook hasn't said when or how it will be fixed.

Iphoto and Facebook aren't communicating. I'm unable to post pictures to FB from iPhoto. Any suggestions?

IPhoto and Facebook not communicating. Pics won't upload from iPhoto to Facebook.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How to unsync iphoto and facebook

I have successfully unsynced my iphoto and facebook, which allows me to delete photos/edit photos from iphoto without affecting my facebook pictures and albums. Here's how it's done.
Go to iphoto.
Click on "iphoto" in top left of your screen (in the tool bar)
Click on "preferences"
Click on "accounts"
Highlight your facebook account and hit the minus sign below.
Check the box that appears, and away you go.
Your facebook will now be disabled from your iphoto and your f/b pics will be safe.
I would advise not re-syncing, as I don't know what will happen if you do. Now that I've come this far, I'm not going to bother finding out!
I safely emptied my iphoto trash, which held 4600 deleted pictures in it. Many of these pics were posted on my facebook. Once emptied, my facebook pictures were still safely showing on f/b. (when you empty your iphoto trash, you must then go to the trash can on your dock as the photos have been moved to a folder there. Delete that folder to permanently delete your trashed pics).

Larry, you have posted on every thread regarding people wanting iPhoto and Facebook to stop synchronizing changes and you actually sound like a Microsoft Windows fanatic as you explain why the hundreds of people that all want to do the same thing -- disable future changes to a Facebook album from 5 days/months/years ago -- just need to understand that the product works exactly as the manual describes and go away. Specifically, they should never have used the capability in the first place (i.e. they should travel back in time and alter their decision to use iPhoto's Facebook upload capability).
This is not at all in the spirit of how most Apple products work. Their products are generally quite intuitive. In this case, all users of Facebook have experienced album uploads as a one-time event (perhaps with a few additional tweaks immediately after the initial upload). Therefore, this idea of life-long synchronization is completely counterintuitive. Further, iPhoto allows the capability to configure a preference for manually syncing changes (and adds a sync button next to the album), yet continues to automatically sync certain types of changes even when said button is not pressed.
I don't think you've yet added any value to the discussion by implying that the typical and expected user experience is invalid -- especially when one cannot retroactively change a past decision to use iPhoto to upload photos to Facebook.
A simple "Disable future synchronization of this album with Facebook" checkbox makes a lot of sense. Yes, I submitted a feature request.

Issues tagging faces in iphoto and Facebook

Hi
I have iPhoto 11 (v9.4.3 720.91) and have been using faces on it for the last 4 months or so.
I linked my facebook account with my iPhoto and have been sharing albums on facebook happily, assuming the faces I tagged were tagging on facebook too.
However, when I shared an album yesterday I realised the tags on facebook are just names, not links to the facebook pages.
I have spent ages reading posts and other questions like this but have had no luck... When I type a name, I see loads of names with the facebook symbol and those presumably tag correctly in facebook, however both mine and my partner's don't have that icon and aren't tagging correctly.
The full name of both of our 'faces' is correct, as were our email addresses. I tried changing the email addresses to the @facebook.com ones but that made no difference.
I have tried sharing a photo that iPhoto recognises as having two faces but kept them as 'unamed' and then tagged them in facebook instead. When I update my facebook album containing that photo in iPhoto, the photo has both of our names tagged, but in the info bar on the right, neither name appears in the 'faces' section; and both my partner and my 'faces' show one unconfirmed face on that particular photo. I am unable to confirm the faces though, it just keeps saying they are unconfirmed once I have confirmed them.
It is really annoying me, as I don't want to have to upload photos to facebook before tagging faces and tagging them on facebook and then on iPhoto AS WELL!
Anyone have any idea or any help here?
Thanks,
Jen

Ok, thanks.
I think the issues I have are only with people whose faces I tagged in iPhoto before I linked to facebook...
Ill try contacting facebook and see if they can help. Will post any solution I get here for others.

Iphoto and facebook - most recent photos not showing up in file upload!!

on iphoto, all the photos are fine and the most recent photos i import are in the recent import folder like they should be. i'm trying to upload a new profile picture to facebook but when i go to file upload and then click on iphoto to find the picture, it's not there, along with the rest of the recently imported photos. the most "recent photos" when i go to file upload are photos i imported from september 24, 2009 and i have imported a bunch of pictures after that date that aren't showing up when i go to file upload. i already tried rebuilding my library and all that but it didn't do anything. help?

I just started having this same problem. New events are not appearing in the media browser section of the file upload window. The last event to show up is from October 12th. I tried several different websites and browsers.
They are fine in iPhoto and the files show up in the "All Images" section of the Finder.

Photobooth, iPhoto and facebook

I recently got a macbook pro and don't know how to use everything yet.
When I try to upload pictures from the photobooth folder to facebook, for some reason pictures I took recently don't show up in the uploader. They are still in photobooth but I can't see the ones I took yesterday in the uploader. I thought I could fix this by moving them to iPhoto and uploading to facebook from there but I don't know how to move more than one at a time. Also, the pictures that are 4 in one (I don't know what they're called) go to iPhoto only as the first frame. Is there a way to move many pictures at once from photobooth to iPhoto and get the 4-in-1 pictures to transfer all 4 frames? Or is there a reason my new photobooth pictures don't show up in the facebook uploader?

HI,
You need the Facebook iPhoto Exporter available here.

Safari 5.0 and Facebook Issue

Ever since I downloaded 5.0 on my macbook (running leopard 10.5.8) Facebook doesn't work correctly. Only website I've had issues with so far. I can open a few different pages through Facebook then all of a sudden I get a blank page and can't refresh or go back to another Facebook page. I have to wait a few minutes, or quite Safari and reopen. However I can go to another website with no issue without having to relaunch Safari..... Only noticed this issue on Facebook, and only with my laptop running leopard, not my iMac which runs snow leopard.
Any ideas?

I also have the same problem. I'm on the latest version of Snow Leopard and on Safari 5.0 with my Macbook Pro. I have searched around the net and can't find the resolution. I can tried deleting my cookies, quitting safari or restarting my machine and Facebook works fine for a short while but then it reverts back to the blank page and I can't do anything on the page.

IPhoto and Facebook - Syncing issues with publication error

I am having trouble with the syncing function using the facebook icon at the bottom right of iPhoto '09. I create a facebook album with several photos, and it seems to take the appropriate time to upload the photos. But when I go to Facebook, there is only a few, if any photos in the album. It did create the album, however. I delete the album and repeat the same steps, and a different amount of photos would upload this time, but nowhere near the correct amount. Also when i try to sync the albums again, usually an error message comes up saying...
"An error occurred with the publication of album "(Album Name)." Do you want to remove the album from your library?
And then in small print
"The feed could not be found or is invalid."
And then the option to remove or keep the album.
Why am I having syncing problems?
For now I am using the Export function and a facebook plugin which works fine, but I want the ability to add photos to libraries and sync rather than using the export function.

Same problems here, multiple albums. It will upload a couple photos, then say it can't find the album.
(then Keep or Remove Album blah blah, because that's a good feature. oh wait, we couldn't find your photos, so we'll just throw em all out, cool?)

Syncing multiple iPhoto and Facebook albums

Hallo everyone...
I'm using iPhoto '09 on 3 Macs under the same LAN. Every Mac is set to login to same Facebook account and post photos. In this scenario I have:
• Mac A created a album and shared to Facebook
• Mac B created a album and shared to Facebook
• Mac C created a album and shared to Facebook
When I check Facebook, I correctly see the three album posted, but every Mac "sees" in its library only the album published and not the other two from other Macs...
Is there a way to see on each Mac all the albums posted in Facebook from the others? Since they "share" the same Facebook account, I suppose it would be a great option!
Thanks in advance for your great job!
Raf

Are you going to continue using iPhoto on yoru old Mac? As documented changes made to the ihoto library are synced to Facebook -- if you simply trash the iPhoto library on the old mac then nothing will be changed in FB - if you delete them using iPhoto then then changes will be synced

IPhoto and iTunes issues.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I am having some problems with my iPhoto at the moment. I have over 15,000 images in the library, and they all appear in thumbnail format under their respective dates, however when I double click on any image between roughly image 6942 and 12428 to enlarge it and look at it on full screen, a blank window is all I see, there isn't even a thumbnail of it where it should appear in full size.
Can anyone suggest what I could do to rectify this problem?
I have archive and installed the original OS X discs, as suggested by an apple store rep and it hasnt fixed the problem.
Also now iTunes gives me an error msg when I try to run it saying that it will not run with this version of OS after the reinstall. Previously, iTunes would not connect to the apple store either, and would not find the CCDB info when importing a new CD, and he also told me that an arch and inst would fix this.
Maybe a couple of probs here, but the iPhoto is the most pressing I guess.
I would appreciate any suggestions or knowledge!
Cheers Trent.

Trent
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?
As to the iTunes issue, best to pop that one over to the iTunes forum:

Safari and Facebook issues since Yosemite upgrade

OSX 10.10
Safari 8.0
Macbook Pro Retina Late 2013
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I have been having numerous issues on Safari with Facebook, but not on any other website. The issues are:
- Sometimes (maybe 10% of the time) only loads a few posts in my timeline (as few as 4) and then stops
- Sometimes (maybe 50% of the time) a few pictures are not displayed, but only a little question mark
- Sometimes (about 10% of the time) I cannot click any of the links
- Sometimes (about 20%) I get a Failed to Open Page screen with the message Safari cannot establish a secure connection.
I have tried the following:
- Turned off any extensions
- Cleared the History and Cache (as well as moving the cache.db file for Safari into Trash and then restarting Safari)
Neither of these seemed to have any effect. Any ideas what to do next?
If I delete Safari and re-install, is there some way to keep all my bookmarks?

Hi ..
If you delete Safari on a Mac running Yosemite v10.10, there are no standalone downloads to reinstall the app. You would have to restore OS X using OS X Recovery. Better to troubleshoot the currently installed Safari app.
Try OpenDNS.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
f that doesn't help, try Google's DNS > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Safari and Facebook Issue

I just bought my first Mac ever and am having issues that I don't have using Firefox on my Vaio. Facebook loads and loads and loads forever when I click on any link. Only half of the images load on a page. It's really annoying. What's going on?

Ok..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab. Click: Show Cookies
Delete all Facebook cookies.
Quit Safari then relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, go back to Safari / Preferences. You can access Safari Preferences with a keyboard shortcut: Command , (comma)
Select the Extensions tab. If you installed any Extensions, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
And in Safari / Preferences select the Appearance tab. Make sure: *Display images when the page opens* is selected.
And check your Home folder (accessible from a Finder window in the Sidebar on the left). Open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-ins folder. If you installed any Facebook plugins, move them to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari, try Facebook.
If nothing above has helped, Quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the *com.apple.Safari folder*. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.
You can also try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads a Facebook page correctly, move that .plist file to the Trash. If there's no difference, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
If you setup any Parental Controls (System Preferences / Parental Controls), that could be causing FB to not load.

Blackberry Curve and Facebook issues

I'm sure I'm not the only one...but I've finally decided to come here to see if anyone has an answer or solution to this problem.
I will post something via computer to my facebook page and then when I'm away from my computer I might get a response to a posting. I will then use my blackberry curve to send a response. Most of the time it works just fine...but there are times (these are the ones I'm trying to figure what's going on and what the solution is) where the response I send goes through just fine but once it hits facebook two issues happen:
1. This appears on my message on Facebook Ô when this happens it splits up the message into two seperate messages. I only see this on line.
2. when I view my Facebook page on my phone I get this message "Error encounterd during XML parse: Invalid character '&#x5' encountered. This pertty much prevents me from going any further down that particular posting on Facebook when looking on my phone.
What do I need to do to resolve this issue? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
