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.

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 6 - Exporting Photo error message

I am having difficulty exporting photos from iPhoto 6.
The issue is when I choose what I want to export from iPhoto and direct it to another folder or drive etc., it begins the export but then I get the error message "UNABLE TO CREATE/USER/XXXXX/DESKTOP/. The XXX in this case are only place holders. When I hit CANCEL, the process stops and only the pictures up to that point are exported.
Please advise!
Thanks,
Tom

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?

Facebook User Login Error

I keep getting a user login failed error everytime I try to get Facebook integrated with iWeb. I called AppleCare, spent a day on the phone with them, and when I connect it directly to my DSL modem via Ethernet, it works. It only happens on my Time Capsule router. I'm using Open DNS and WPA settings. Is there something I can set on the Time Capsule to make this go through? Maybe a firewall port setting? I know what the problem is and where it's coming from, just not the magic switch to flip to get it functional.
Thanks!
Nathan

I also had this problem, and for some reason changing the MTU setting on my router from the default 1500 to 1400 fixed this problem for me. I have no idea why. Facebook worked perfectly well on my Windows laptop before the change.

Iphoto'11 facebook login: "Cannot login to Facebook: An unknown error occurred. Please try again later"

So Migrating to a new Macbook pro (retina) has cause a few bugs.
I have the same version of Iphoto running on both my old MBP and new REtina MBP. The difference is that the Retina MBP is running mountain lion and the old MBP runs Snow Leopard.
The Snow Leopard Iphoto app can login to Facebook without a prob
The Moutain Lion Iphoto app give the: "Cannot login to Facebook: An Unknown error has occured. PLease try again later"
Iphoto app is allowed on Facebook.
Since Iphoto was the same on both macs: I copied over the entire library from the old computer to the new one.
The library loads up fine in the new MBP.
I tried deleting the Facebook account and re-adding it on Iphoto. It still gives the same error.
Can anyone help.?
Thanks in advance

I have the same issue, but its happened in the last week or so on my older MBP with Snow Leopard - I know its authorised on FB and my password is correct! Just thought I'd share as it may not be a ML issue alone.

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!

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.

Adobe Bridge CS6 for mac: export modules, facebook export module gives an error every time i try to sign in

in the export module for facebook every time i click "sign in to facebook" it gives the following error: "An error occurred while request facebook connection"

"An error occurred while request facebook connection"
The export module has been discontinued in Bridge CC and as long as it has been there the option for social media has worked only for FB in a few countries. Due to rights management (as we where told) there where restrictions for most other countries. But if it did work for you in the past you should try click on FB in export module or use the tiny menu icon in the export panel for preferences and try to set up a new connection.

LR 3.2 Facebook Export Error

Hello everyone,
I keep getting a "Failed to Retrieve item info" when I try to publish my photos using Lightroom's facebook export publish feature. I was able to use it a month ago but every time that I try to publish new albums to facebook it gives me that error. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling lightroom, tried uninstalling the facebook exporting option from lightroom, tried reauthenticating to facebook and nothing works.
Does anyone have a fix for this? A lot of my clients like it when I upload pictures for Facebook but I haven't been able to do so in a long time.
If it's any concern, I'm currently using an Apple Macbook Pro 15" i7 and x64 lightroom 3.2.
Does anyone have a fix so that I don't get that error and can publish to facebook again?

I found too that the publishing services work differently than the plug-ins. Not as intuitive, but work well just the same, For me I had to do the "set-up" for the Facebook publishing service a couple of times. I think this may have more to do with the Facebook security settings than with LR.
