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.
Regards

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".

Apple's Icloud with Yosemite and IOS8 on devices is suppose to do just that - synchronize between devices so when you get home the pictures you took with our devices will magically be on you primary computer.
You may also want to look into other "clouds" available -- including clouds you can set up yourself (WD offers make your own cloud - haven't looked into it as don't need it)
Thanks for the constructive feedback! iCloud sync generally works well, though I believe it's time-limited-- You'll have to import them to your library from the iCloud sync to make it "permanent" within a few months. I'm also using CloudStation on my Synology NAS, and I use Dropbox on all my computers although not for photos, because I'm still using their free account. Keeping iPhoto libraries up to date is not generally an issue. Though I admit 2 of my 3 computers are on Yosemite and I am using iOS 8, I haven't specifically explored the differences in iCloud behavior on the new versions.
The deleting comment is more around temporarily storing them in one iPhoto library, uploading to Facebook, then deleting from iPhoto without deleting from FB -- it's not so much about how to transfer the photos around. It's pretty easy to shoot 15 or 20GB of photos in a day with a modern camera, and you might find yourself without an internet connection, or at the very least, too spotty to copy that much data overnight.
For example, on a recent trip, my workflow was to load photos from my RX-100 via SD card into my MacBook Air which only has 128GB of storage.
So I'd copy all photos to iPhoto, flag favorites, edit, add to FB album in iPhoto, let that upload, then export to disk, let that sync to my CloudStation folder back on my NAS at home in the US, then finally delete all un-flagged photos in iPhoto (the "rejects"). By the end of the trip, even the 15GB of all of the flagged, edited photos took up too much space (in addition to all of the originals I was storing on disk), so I deleted the Facebook sync so I that was able to delete them from iPhoto.
Of course, I kept all my originals, but those were in 3 places: SD card, CloudStation folder on my Air, and on my NAS back at home (plus any devices that were powered on and syncing to CloudStation).
This worked great in Iceland where I had 50up/50down internet, but not so great at an agriturismo in Italy where I was getting something like 50% packet loss on their point-to-point wifi internet connection!
When I get home, every single original picture goes onto my master iPhoto library on the Mac Pro at home, but I treat the libraries on my laptops as transient places for editing and uploading, then deleting. This is not just a multiple-computer problem, though -- I am sure many users just wish to upload then delete, and never keep their originals.

Copying photo albums from facebook to iphoto?!

I got my first mac yesterday and am having trouble getting photo albums from facebook into my iPhoto's. I have tried dragging them and copying them but its not working! Can anyone help?!

I cannot delete albums from iPhoto

I cannot delete albums from iPhoto.any advice?

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.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

How did the photos get onto the phone ? Only photos taken with the phone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the device. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

Every time I try and delete an album from my ipod using itunes but doing so manually as was suggested, it is also deleted from the itunes library that i have set up. How do I just delete albums from my ipod and not loose them from my pc itunes library?

I have an extensive itunes library on my pc. I want to delete albums from my ipod but still keep them in my itunes library. Everytime I try to delete by right clicking on the album and choosing delete, I also loose the album from itunes. I have just gotten an old iphone and put just classical and jazz on the iphone and want to delete those albums from my ipod but alas I will be loosing them from the iphone as well as soon as I sync with itunes in the future. I put settings into manual manage music but still the albums go off itunes. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking you sync to your computer over Wi-Fi, if correct, switch to sync when connected to iTunes, turn off sync over Wi-Fi. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

If these albums were copied to the iPad by syncing with a computer running iTunes then you need to do another sync. But before clicking on sync deselect the unwanted albums. When you click on Apply or sync the albums will be deleted from the iPad but they will remain on your computer,

How can I delete albums from itunes match

Can you tell me or do you know how I can delete albums from iTunes match please

I've got a similar problem.
I know the way how to delete but it didn't work.
When I delete a song with setting the "delete this song from iCloud" option, it seems to be deleted but after syncing it still exist!
For example:
Before deleting I've got 761 songs in Match
I delete 10 songs with "Also delete this song from iCloud", empty the trash can and start match sync
After 2 Minutes iTunes Match told me, there are 761 songs available - nothing will be deleted at iTunes Match

How do I delete albums from my iPad in ios7

How do I delete albums from my iPad in ios7 ...

The instruction should read "Settings > General > Usage > Music > All Music > Swipe right to left > Delete".
But doing so may have the undesirable effect of screwing up artwork and/or playback stability (maybe this was fixed, but this method cause a lot of grief in iOS 6 and early in iOS 7).
But try this -- connect the iPad to iTunes, and if you're not in manual sync mode then enable that and apply the change. Then while connected to iTunes, navigate the contents of the iPad through iTunes and see if you can delete the albums that way.

How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod

Please help!!!!
How Can I Delete Albums From iTunes Without It Deleting Them From My iPod classic 160GB?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
I assume you've already consisdered manually managing your iPod's contents and rejected that idea.
I wouldn't recommend it as a solution, but if you delete the files for the albums leaving the entries in the iTunes library you can carry on syncing normally. iTunes will complain that it can't sync the missing files but it won't remove the copies from your iPod. Once you're happy with how things work you can can choose to suppress the error message.
While handy as a temporary workaround if space is an issue then it's probably time to look at moving your whole library to a bigger drive.

I have a big problem. iphoto started deleting albums from my facebook. How can I stop it from deleting my fb albums? Why is it doing this?

I uploaded a few photos from a memory card and went on iphoto to crop a few. When I finished a message box popped up stating Your album titled " ____" was deleted from facebook. The photos are still in your iphoto library. The only choice that you have is OK. I did a option command escape and forced quit out of iphotos. I thought this might stop the fb album from being deleted...but it didnt! The album was deleted from my facebook page! The next time that I opened iphoto a message box popped up and again another facebook album was deleted. I am now afraid to open iphoto! How do I make this stop? Note; I do have a lot of photos on my macbook pro and they are all backed up on an external drive. I like keeping the pictures on my mac but if it comes down to it I would rather delete files from my laptop than lose them on fb. HELP!!!!
