IPhoto keeps asking to set up Facebook and Flickr accounts

iPhoto keeps asking to set up the Flickr and Facebook accounts. This is despite the fact that i have done so many times. I have tried restarting (thought it was a keychain thing) and removing permissions from the flickr website and then setting up again. But to no avail...
Can someone help please?

Hello Somos,
This does sound like a keychain issue.
I would try the following:
1.) Remove:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto (there will be more than 1)
~/Librry/caches
2.) Restart computer
3.) If issue persists remove ~/Library/Keychains -- this will remove all saved passwords so don't delete the file
4.) Restart computer again
5.) If this resolves the issue restore the old Keychains folder and then open Key Chain Access from /Applications/Utilities/ and try repairing keychain.
Hope that helps.

  • Facebook and Flickr with Aperture on Macbook Pro

    I have set up both a Facebook and Flickr account in Aperture.  They work great and like how easy they are to use.  I do have a problem though.
    After using my Macbook, I close the screen and leave it.  When I come back and open the screen, sometimes Aperture gives me an error that says:
    There was a problem connecting to Facebook.
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -1.)
    After clearing the message it comes back in an endless loop.  Am I doing something wrong?  Should I exit Aperture before closing the screen evertime?  How can I clear this error without killing the application?
    Thanks.

    This is not much help, but I don't think it's an infinitely loop. I suspect the number of times you get the message is related to the number of flickr sets you have in Aperture. If you are patient, and click the OK button enough times, it will go away.
    I really don't like force quitting - especially Aperture. I have always been able to "outlast" Aperture by clicking the OK button enough times.

    I am trying to set up icloud on my pc. I open up the control panel and it keeps asking me to sign in and doesn't give me any options but that. What could be the issue?

    To use iCloud, you must first set it up on an iOS device or a Mac.

  • Why does Iphoto keep asking me to authenticate my User ID?

    Why does Iphoto keep asking me to authenticate my User ID?

    A bit - it tells me that iPhoto has nothing to do with it but it is a server you are trying to publish to. What server? ME,com? FaceBook.com? Flickr.com? ????
    The first thing to do is go to the servers listed in your iPhoto preferences and re-enter the usernmae and password for the service that you have the incorrect information for

  • Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

    Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
    Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).

    You are running Firefox 34, the most recent version is 35.0.1. If you are having trouble updating, please try downloading the most recent version from www.getfirefox.com and installing it over your existing version. It will save your information but update Firefox to the newest version.

  • Iphoto keeps asking to update thumbnails - EACH TIME

    iPhoto iphoto keeps asking to update thumbnails - EACH TIME. I've told it ignore 5 times, and each sessions involves about 100 photos and 2 horus of clicking no - help!
    Where is the file that I can update?
    Thanks

    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 keeps asking me to import 2 lost photos everytime I open it

    iPhoto keeps asking me to import 2 lost photos everytime I open it,
    allowing me to choose yes/no, yes - save to a new recovery, no - save in a flie directory
    and in which the two photos are gone ages ago,
    it's causing me so much troubles.
    What can I do?

    quit iPhoto and go to your iPhoto library and right click (control click) on it and select "show package contents" - look through it and find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - make NO other changes of any sort
    Close that and launch iPhoto - you will be fine - you can then trash the import(ing) folder form the desktop (or open it to be sure it has no photos you want in it)

  • Iphoto 9.4.3 keep asking me to login to my icloud account

    Hi. I just downgraded from OSX 10.9.3 mavericks this way:
    1. Made a clone of the entire disk to an HDD.
    2. Formatted and made clean install of 10.8.5
    3. Moved back the data and reinstall apps cleanly
    4. Used iphoto library manager to rebuild the 9.5 library back into 9.4.3 version.
    The issue:
    When trying to turn on photo stream in the 9.4.3 iphoto it keep asking me
    To login to my icloud account and the photo stream box won't checked,
    Now I tried everything to troubleshoot without success...
    iphoto just can't see that im logged into icloud in the prefrences.
    All the login logout log as guest didn't help.
    Please any suggestions?
    Thanx

    I had some vary bad experiences with 10.8.5 forcing me to reinstall 10.8.4 and restore from a backup... ITerminal was hit with broken Sudo* / dyld messages when unsuccesfully trying to install some programs or run clean up routines... so "upgradint to 10.8.5" is the last thing I'll be doing-... maybe if there is a 10.8.6 and they fix these issues... but otherwise... not a hope in ****!
    I have tried signing  in and out several times... FINALLY managed to sign in to Messages with my iCloud Accound (I had pretty mucgh given up on ever being able to,,, simply signed out of both iCloud and Messages on my IPhone and then signed in Fresh... went back yo my MacPro and hey presto...
    There are some seriously "iffy" issues with that side of Apple's operations... ICLoud and Mas... a Joke at the best of times...
    However...I can live with Aperture... might just drop and forget about IPhoto altogether at this point... just leave it installed and switch Libraries in Aperture if I want ti access the IPhoto Library
    *Sudo was virtually not there... had to go into some file and play with variables to try get it back... but there were still issues... and breakages preventing installation of some prgrams... Logitech Mouse drivers for one,,, but by no means the only one,,, so 10.8.5 -  No Chance!

  • Problems with upgrading my iphone to v6 - I am not happy!  It deleted all of my apps, so I had to reload them.  Now many of the apps do not work - they keep asking for my apple ID and PW but then never open.

    I kept getting reminders to update my iphone to v6, so I did so and I am not happy!  It deleted all of my apps, so then I had to reload them.  Now many of the apps do not work - when I try to open them they keep asking for my apple ID and PW and when I enter this it just goes away and never opens.  Anyone else had this issue?

    Happened to me once awhile back. The exact same thing. What I did to get everything working again was open up itunes on PC and click on "Apps" section (not the one in your iphone section, but the one in the "Libraries" section near the top). Then proceed to totally delete all of the apps that aren't working (if it asks if you want to send to recycle bin click yes). Re-sync phone, which will remove them from the phone. And, finally, re-install them. It was a pain, but the only thing that worked. Hope it works for you. Good luck!

  • Keeps asking for my hotmail password and saying its wrong stopped recieving mail

    keeps asking for my hotmail password and have stopped recieving mail

    Mail asks for your password when it cannot contact the Server. It presumes [usually incorrectly] you told it the wrong password, and asks for a better one. The one you enter replaces the one that is stored.
    But often the reason it cannot connect is that the Mail Server holding your emails is temporarily DOWN.
    Ignore those requests and take that account Online again later. 
    (You may have to re-enter the password, because it often clobbers your good password with the one you enter, and sometimes does not store ANY password after that stupid dialog box.)

  • All Adobe products keep asking me to license - over and over!

    I have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and have had for months.  The past 10 days or so, it keeps asking me to sign in and license the "trial" of this product.  Every time I use it.  This is frustrating and a waste of my time.

    It's not asking for a serial number.  It either keeps asking me to Login in to my account to continue, Complete the Registration (when I start Acrobat - and when it takes me to the page, it is completed and there is no option to Submit/Save/End), or pick between License the Software or Continue with Trial.  I have been using this software for months and have not changed anything.  The only thing I did a week or so before this started, was to utilize some new fonts through Creative Cloud.   Previously it always kept me logged in and never asked me this repeatedly.  Even when I login in and start another application, it still asks me. 
    Frustrating.
