IPhoto/Facebook export issues

My iPhoto is not exporting to Facebook properly. Either it simply does nothing after I click on the appropriate buttons (when it used to say " X photos upload to your Facebook Album", or it crashes and closes or it uploads the incorrect photos. I have never had trouble before. I have sent a report to Apple with every crash, and even added comments. I searched online and found no help. One time, I got an error message about rebuilding iPhoto, which I have done. I have also backed up my iPhoto to my external hard drive. Can anyone tell me anything else that I can try? Please note, I am not tech savvy. I buy Apple products because they are easy for me to use and have never owned a PC ( Apple since the iic, but still, it is all Greek to me.) I can follow simple instructions, but am no "Genius". Thank you!

Not if you export them via the File â Export â File Export menu with these two checkboxes checked
and (if you want the file names to reflect what you changed the Title to)
That will embed the metadata into the image file and, if FB can read the IPTC fields in the image file, will be displayed in FB (I don't use FB so don't know if it does read the iPTC metadata of image files).

IPhoto facebook exporter login error

I know this is a common problem, or was, but I am trying to login to facebook via iPhoto exporter. When I click on logon, it just says
"An error occurred with Facebook Exporter for iPhoto. Please try again later."
I've been at this for a few days trying to figure it out. I've deleted com.apple.iphoto.plist, deleted my cookies, tried to reinstall safari, (even though I use firefox and it pops up). Is there a preference that I am not selecting? It is becoming quite frustrating, and I'm not sure if there is another way to do things (other than export whole album on to desktop and do it manually from facebook). Any help would be appreciated!!!
I use a macbook pro
Mac OS 10.5.8
iphoto '09 (8.1.2)
Safari 5.06
Firefox 6.02
HELP

We are having the same problem. However, I don't think it has anything to do with the software on our computer because the exporter works on my facebook account but not on my wife's. But I can't see what causes it.

Iphoto facebook exporter - faded images

Hi can anyone help me with my problem? Ive been using the iphoto facebook explorer for ages, but all of a sudden it is uploading my images with the colours very faded to facebook.
Ive uninstalled and reinstalled - done the lastest iphoto upgrades..
any other ideas?
Thanks!!

Looks like you still don't get it. Normally if we upload photos using Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, the images would still retain the 'colour information' but obviously lose some quality (like size, clarity, etc.) but the COLOUR stays, thus the photo will look similar to the one we have in iPhoto.
Meanwhile, uploading manually using the default Facebook photo uploader will result in the stripping of colour information, so basically before this problem happened, photos uploaded using this method will look a little faded in color and of course crappier than using the iPhoto. However, most Mac user might not realize this fact since they have been uploading photos to Facebook using iPhoto.
And the problem we're having right now is uploading using iPhoto actually results in really crappier images than using default method. The colour information is no longer retained, the colour looks 'faded', desaturated, less contrast. It's so bad, that people who normally use iPhoto to upload would realise a huge difference. This is a fact, the discussions page for the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto is full of people complaining about this. It's not about why should we care about photo quality in Facebook, it's about why this problem happened. And so far no one has come up with any solutions, and neither Apple nor Facebook has responded.

Facebook Export issue - session key validity?

Love the new feature to upload to Facebook/Flickr - however, everything has been working fine until this morning, went to upload a jpg to Facebook and I get the following error message:
"Bridge encountered and error while exporting: Session key invalid or no longer valid."
The very same file just exported to Flickr no problems. Tried resetting the Module (re-creating from scratch), logged back into Facebook through Bridge, re-authorized, even restarted Bridge and made a completely new file to try in case that jpg was corrupt. Same error every time. I blame Facebook, just wondering if there's a workaround.
Cheers on CS5!

Sorry, should've mentioned, I did run the updater beforehand and am currently having these issues in 4.0.2.1
EDIT 1:
Solved (see below), per other post:
In the export panel choose the tiny menu icon top right and click on manage modules. In this view there is also a toothed wheel icon. Click on it and choose reinstall all modules. After this you should restart Bridge.
EDIT 2:
Not so solved - worked for awhile, then suddenly stopped working, tried reinstalling all the modules again, restarting Bridge and now cannot repair the Facebook functionality. Submitting as bug, since only 'fix' is temporary and unreliable.

IPhoto slideshow export issue

Greetings,
I am runnng iPhoto 11 v9.4.1 and cannot export a 100 picture slideshow. I have a MacBook Pro runing 10.7.5. After creating the slideshow, I click on the export button, select the display option of 1280 x 800 and then click OK. iPhoto starts the export and then will quit, finder will come up with an error message: The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found. The slideshow QT movie does not get created. I also created a new iPhoto database, imported 5 pictures, created a new slideshow and then exported - I got the same error message. I am stumped, any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you,
Matt

I was with the same problem and followed the instructions from another discussion in this forum.
Try this:
. Do a simple file search (via spotlight) on the files related to "3ivx" codec.
. Remove the files or uninstall this codec
. Try to export from iPhoto again.
That should work.
Hope this helps.

IMovie to Facebook exporting issues. What Can I do??

Im trying to share an imovie video to FB but gives incorrect user name or password error, and I already verified that the info is correct. What can I do?

Rather than upload to Facebook using the Share>Facebook method built in to iMovie, firstly export the project using Share>Export Movie. Share it to your Desktop. Now in Facebook you can upload the video quite independently from iMovie by using Facebook's uploader.
In Facebook, click on Photos near the top of the page. You should see a row of thumbnails and text labelled Friends, Photos, Map and Likes.
Now in Photos, in the top right corner click on the box named "Add Videos". In the window that opens you can navigate to your video on your Mac.

How do I remove the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto?

Hello,
I have recently installed v1.0.8 of Facebook Exporter for iPhoto, and it hangs on the first picture I attempt to upload. It is unusable. I had found the previous version 1.0.6 which worked great and downloaded that, and subsequently attempted to install it. However, the installer errors out stating that there is already a previous version installed. The v1.0.6 and v1.0.8 installers, do not have an uninstall feature either. Direct support for this package is impossible from the developer.
I'm asking if anyone could lay out exactly what I need to remove in order that I can proceed with downgrading to the v1.0.6 once again. I have asked in other forums(not here) and have had only "upgrade all your software to the latest versions and everything should work" answers, which were and are completely useless. If an upgrade is required of something, please be specific as to why.
Note that, I have already performed this function as outlined here, http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=222897111055523, which simply describes deleting a folder in their install directory. This has not worked, meaning the removal has worked, however reinstalling the previous version envokes the error about a later version.
Versions involved;
MacBook Pro, 2.53ghz, core 2 duo
MacOS v10.6.8
iPhoto '09, v8.1..2 (424)
Thanks,
Mark

Problems with the Facebook Exporter in iPhoto 08

Has anybody successfully used the Facebook Exporter plugin for iPhoto? Every time I try to upload multiple photos, it has a bar saying "Exporting 1/{whatever number}", but then comes up with the following error:
"Couldn't upload photo "{photo number}" because an unknown error occurred."
...and it gives me the option of:
"Back to Facebook Exporter" or "Review Facebook Album"
...if I click on the latter, it goes to Facebook and shows that the first Photo has indeed uploaded successfully. So I've been going through doing it one at a time but that is pretty tedius!
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? It doesn't matter what the photo's are, it does it every time.
Cheers.

Must have been a dodgy version of the exporter as having downloaded an update it works fine...

Facebook exporter for iPhoto 11 problem!

I previously had installed the Facebook exporter for iPhoto and it worked fine. It always showed up as a tab in File Export. Now with Iphoto 11 the tab for facebook has disappeared. I went to the download page for it again to reinstall it and when I go through the installation process and it asks where to install I have the exclamation mark on my Mac hard drive with the following error. "Facebook exporter for iPhoto can't be installed on this disk. A newer version of this software already exists on this disk.
I went to plugins and removed it yet I still get this error on reinstallation. Why won't the exporter work anymore or install?
I like this much better than the built in one on iPhoto as it lets me caption each photo before I upload.

I found the problem
It seems the version of facebook exporter found on the applesite is an older one.
I downloaded a newer version on versiontracker and that fixed it.
tha one I am using now is facebook exporter iphoto v 1.0.5
cheers

Can't export from iphoto '11 to facebook with facebook exporter

Help!
I've been trying to export photos from iPhoto '11 (Version 9.2.1) without success. I am running OS X (10.6.8). This is the error message I keep seeing, no matter which way I attempt to make a connection (through the 'Accounts' window in Preferences, or through the 'Share' tab when I select a photo to export).
Here are the following steps I have taken, without any success:
Changed my Facebook password.
Logged out of Facebook.
Downloaded and installed the 'Facebook Exporter for iPhoto' plugin from Facebook; alhtough this is suspect, since here's the most recent comment from Facebook on this plugin:
The home for the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto - athttp://developers.facebook.com /iphoto/ - is temporarily down, as we build out a new version of it. In the meantime, you can download the application from this profile page, using the button at the left. Happy photo sharing!
Like · · Share · April 28, 2010 at 1:47am ·
Re-booted my Mac after installing the plugin.
Verified that the plugin is actually on my hard drive.
Searched Google and Apple Support for help, but here I am...
I really don't like Facebook, so maybe this the final hint that I should just give it up...

What happened to facebook exporter for iphoto?

I keep getting an error when trying to share photos from iphoto to facebook. I have tried all the common things, but now I see that there is no longer facebook exporter for iphoto. I have had this Macbook Air since May, and was able to share photos via iphoto exporter to facebook, and now all of a sudden it is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had Iphoto exporter plugin installed previously and it would show up on file-export as an option. Then mysteriously it was gone as an option. I tried to download the plugin again from Cnet and when I try to install it I get and error saying "It can't be opened because of an inidentified developer my security preferences only allow installation of only apps from your Mac app store and identified developers"
How do I turn off that security so I can reinstall it again. As for why my original install disappeared I am mystified about that. Why was it there one month and then poof gone the next month?
I like that 3rd party plugin as it lets me caption all the photo's and rearrange the order and write a discription all in one application. It works better than the share button way of doing it to facebook.
Is it not compatible with Iphoto 9.4.1?

Is there a secret place in my mac the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto is hiding?

I recently installed Facebook Exporter for iPhoto 1.0.7 on my Mac OS X 10.6.8, with iPhoto version 7.1.5. It read the install was complete.
I tried using the program and it didn't seem to synch with Facebook (says there's a connection error). After reading about numerous problems people have encountered with this plug-in, i decided to remove it.
I've tried following the instructions to uninstall the plug-in, but I can't seem to find the file where it's supposed to be stored, in the Package Contents under iPhoto. As far as I can tell, the program did install because a Facebook option is still showing up in my iPhoto exports menu.
My computer seems to be running slow and stalling since installing the plug-in and I just want to get rid of it once and for all. Please help. Thanks

Download and run Find Any File to search for files with "Facebook" in the file name.
FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages. This will help you see where the plugin is located on your hard drive.
But for a fix reggie has the correct suggestion, contact the developers.

Problems with exporting after Facebook export installation

Hi there,
I installed the Facebook exporter app and then discovered my iPhoto is too old (it is iPhoto 4). Thereafter I was unable to export anything because my mac would crash. So I uninstalled the app and since then my normal export button is missing. I found a forum on this site, where the same problem was solved, but this was for someone with iLife 08 and required a reinstallation from disk.
The problem is, I bought OS X 10.5 recently but not iLife, so my iPhoto etc is from the old days. I would be totally, infinitely and unbelievably grateful if someone could help me out here, because I currently cannot export anything from iPhoto. Which disk do I use for reinstallation? When I bought my mac it had 10.3 on it. How do I reinstall iPhoto when my operating system is new? Help!
Cheers,
Kerry

Thanks for that - unfortunately I have lost disk number 1 and can only find disk number 2. Honestly, I never thought I'd need them, and they've been packed and unpacked at least 4 times since I bought the computer.
I am trying to get the disk from mac friends - I'll see what happens. If anyone knows how to get hold of these old disks, or another work-around, I'd be very grateful...
cheers and thanks again,
Kerry

Facebook Export Shows Partial Album List

I am using Facebook Exporter with the latest version of Bridge, and the latest Export modules. Both Bridge and the Modules themselves have been updated as of today. I've been able to successfully export to Facebook, but the issue is that the Albums window does not display all of my albums. There are more than 5 albums missing from the list. Anyone have the same issue?

HAVE probelm with the FACEBOOK EXPORT too
when I first installed it did not work at all
then it did- it seemed to me a log in issue-
whenit worked it was GREAT! I never has the problem of not seeing the album names, it always logged me out of FB for my next visit
however every photo I uploaded to FB from Bridge export is now gone!! last two days
All the albums created in the Bridge interface are gone and all the pictures into other albums that were not uploaded by Bridge are still in FB but not any I added via Bridge
using CS5
tried to update modules says no updates
using win xp sp3
error I get when trying to connect to FB is
   "error": {
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "message": "Error validating application."

Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.
I have my settings for 1 second slides, no transition and a ken burns effect. I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.
(I realize that the iMovie forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

Thanks, I think I'll skip the Ken Burns for now since I've had nothing but problems with it. My issues before were that 1) iMovie would play the images in sequence just fine during playback but at export would mix up the order. 2) The resolution on the pictures was absolutely terrible. I have a new movie now and haven't seen either problem.
