IPhoto upload problem

When I try to upload a picture to email I keep getting a color wheel that keeps spinning and it takes forever to get iPhoto to load the pictures

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain 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.

Iphoto uploading problem from iphone

When trying to upload my images from my iphone to my macbook, it tells me that it has a problem uploading an image and therefore can't complete. anyone know what could be the problem?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

IPhoto uploading problem

I just bought this computer less than a month ago (and am currently using Lion OS X), but everytime I try to upload my photos from iPhoto to Facebook it completely scrambles the order. I've tried menu -> sort, on Facebook sorting from newest to oldest and vice versa, but nothing seems to be able to fix it. They show up in the correct order in my iPhoto, so I don't know why this should even be an issue, but its incredibly frustrating when I upload 200 pictures and have to organize all of them manually. Is there anything else I can do?

If you feel it is an iPhoto issue post in the iPhoto forum.

I'm in iphoto loop with Facebook that says there's a problem with IPhoto uploader. Try again later" It's an eternal loop and no matter what it puts me back to Setup to publish IPHOTO every time and then will not publish.

I'm in an Iphoto loop with iPhoto uploader error and Facebook. I cannot post to Facebook as it sends me back to setup again and then says there is an error with iPhoto uploader. "Try again later" This has been going on since I joined Facebook. Cannot figure out what to do

have you tried posting this question in the iPhoto forum? https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto

Picassa iPhoto uploader doesn't work in iPhoto 08 anymore

Hi
I post some of my photos on Picassa. With iPhoto 07, no prb: I downloaded the Picassa iPhoto uploader, and from iPhoto, I used to be able to export my albums easily. But I upgraded to iPhoto 08 few days ago, and just realized there's a bug, and the Picassa uploader doesn't work anymore: after formatting the pictures, the process freezes during the 'Create Album' step, my mac fan starts to run crazy, and I have to cancel the operation. I deleted and reinstalled the uploader, same thing. I can still use the uploader to load picture in Picassa from Finder directly, but I think it was easier and sleeker to do it from iPhoto. I'm disappointed to find such a bug. Has anyone else met that problem with Picassa, or with any other uploader? Is there a solution?
Thanks
Laurent

You'll have to wait until Picasa and the other plugin developers update their plugins to be compatible with iPhoto 7. The ball's in their court.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Facebook Set Up: "An error occurred with iPhoto Uploader. ...."

I'm attempting my first upload from iPhoto to Facebook. The first step is to Set Up a connection to my Facebook account. I enter my Facebook credentials, and iPhoto responds with this error:
"An error occurred with iPhoto Uploader. Please try again later."
When I try again, iPhoto starts over with Set Up. So it appears the initial connection to Facebook is failing.
I'm running iPhoto '09 (8.1.2) on Mac OS X 10.6.4.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I accidentally deleted the iPhoto Uploader app from FB and now I can't get it back on there. I don't have the apps and games blocked in my security settings and everything looks like it should work. This is driving me crazy! I was half way through uploading some new pics to FB when I did it too.
I'm confident the problem is at FB. iPhoto has never done me wrong and even so, I deleted all the preference files and deleted and reinstalled iPhoto itself even. None of that has worked and none of the solutions that come up online seem to work either.
There needs to be a way to recover deleted apps on FB or simply reinstall them. I lost my twitter app when I lost the iPhoto Uploader and didn't have a problem getting it back on there so FB's programming is clearly not communicating very nicely with apple/iphoto's attempts to reinstall and "set-up" the uploader.
Thanks for any help out there!

Is Safari the problem? upload problems after Leopard install...

I installed maximum ram and leopard 10.5 on my old emac and it runs great. I had problems uploading photos to ebay, and attachments to emails, so I installed ilife hoping the upgrade would fix the problem. Nope, when I attempt to upload, the icon just spins and spins, on and on. Could this be a Safari problem? Very frustrated, totally stumped.

I'm not sure how to link to the iPhoto post thread that help me solve my upload problem. But it is solved. I had to resize the jpeg pic files to 640x320 because my files were way to big. Thanks Old Toad!

Need a fix for Muse upload problems to GoDaddy???? I found one!

GoDaddy now has a new cpanel named "Plesk". In that panel you will find File Manager. (I use the Windows version). In the left panel of File Manager, you will see the root directory and all of its subfolders. When you click on any of these folders, you will see their contents in the right panel. You will also see a folder labelled "httpdocs". This is the default folder that is set up in GoDaddy to be your "home" folder. So, to fix your upload problems, do these steps:
1. Click on the httpdocs folder to see it open in the right panel. In the toolbar above the right panel, you will see a green plus sign with the word "New". Click on this drop-down menu.
2. Choose "directory"
3. Type in the name of one of the folders that your site will need, e.g. images, css, assets, scripts, etc. This basically creates a subfolder within the httpdocs folder, right? (There is a way to see how your Muse site sets up these folders prior to publish or upload. You do this by choosing "Export as HTML" in the File menu of Muse, creating a folder on your desktop (or wherever) for the HTML export, then inspecting its contents after your save it.)
4. Continue to create all the subfolders within httpdocs that you will need. Unfortunately, you have to do this one folder at a time.
5. After you have them set up, begin the process of uploading your site, like this:
6. In the File menu in Muse, you'll of course see "Upload to FTP Host ...". Click on it.
7. A dialog box will open. In the top text field, type in your website name ... you must use www. with your entry
8. In the "FTP Host" field, type in your domain name again like this ... "ftp.yourdomain.com" ... NO FORWARD SLASHES!!! (even if you find instructions to the contrary, like in Filezilla) (Also, your domain might be a .org or .net, instead of a .com)
9. In the "Host directory" field, YOU MUST ENTER "httpdocs"!!!! Despite what you learn, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK!!!
10. Then enter your GoDaddy username and password. (If you set up a different username for your GoDaddy account and your Plesk account, like I did, then use your Plesk username and password.)
11. Click on "Upload: All Files"
The next few steps are tedious, but necessary to keep your site organized on GoDaddy and to keep from confusing things. You can probably get away with it, but, if your site doesn't load properly in a browser after doing the above steps, you'll need to click on each folder in the root directory that you copied as a subfolder in the "httpdocs" folder and delete the files. For example, in the left panel of File Manager, you'll see the root directory. Click on the "images" folder. If there are any images that you need for your site in that folder, delete them. Remember ... you've already copied them over to the images subfolder in httpdocs during your last upload described in the instructions above. If you don't trust that you can delete them, click on the "httpdocs" folder, then click on the "images" folder and check the files. Same files, right? So, go ahead and delete the site files that you find in the appropriate folders in the root directory, making sure that you don't delete the ones that are NOT duplicated within the "httpdocs" folder. Also remember that your .html pages will not require a subfolder to be set up in the "httpsdocs" folder. They can just sit there, looking pretty. But you will have to delete them from the root directory to keep things tidy. Just click on the folder icon next to "root directory", and you'll see those html pages in the right panel. Again, delete them.
REMEMBER: To keep your Muse uploads to your GoDaddy site error free, you must ALWAYS make sure that "httpdocs" appears in the "Host directory" field in the "Upload to FTP Host ..." dialog box in Muse. And all files and folders that your site needs MUST go in the "httpdocs" folder in the root directory of your site in GoDaddy's File Manager (now found in your Plesk Panel).
I hope this wasn't too confusing. If so, call GoDaddy. I called them with this fix and they are using it in their phone support.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was going out of my mind. And GoDaddy was no help (although they're usually really good.) I put all the folders in "httpdocs" and the website worked perfectly!

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

A different uploading problem

I have read through the discussions and see that a lot of people are having an uploading problem. I am too, but my problem is a little different. When I upload my photos, everything seems to be fine, all the pages turn from blue to red, and it appears to be done. But, if I quit iWeb, it says it hasn't finished uploading. When I go to the site on the web, everything is there. So, it seems to not be finalizing the last little part where it marks the files as uploaded.
I am using iWeb 1.1.1.
I have tried deleting the files from my iDisk and uploading again.
I have repaired permissions.
I have deleted the file com.apple.iWeb.plist
It's not that I'm trying to quit too soon, I have left it for hours, even overnight, and it doesn't complete.
There's a small circle to the right of the word site that fills in to show progress as it's finishing, and that gets to the point where there's only a small sliver of white.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

Uploading problem with Ebay and Dreamweaver MX

I am unable to sync websites with Dreamweaver MX 6.01. When I connect to the remote server, it shuts down the program. I have reinstalled the program, but it still does it. Also, when I use Safari, Opera, and Firefox to upload photos on Ebay, the upload process fails completely, and blows me directly into My Ebay, as if I was not on the selling page at all. I have to go to my PC to do the photo uploads. Seems like it may be a related issue, some kind of uploading problem with Rosetta, or something. I am using a Macbook Pro with the 2.0Ghz processor, connected with ethernet cable, and firewall is set to off. Any ideas?

For E-Bay you might try the following:
Type the following command in Terminal (while Safari is NOT running):
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
Then launch Safari, and you will be able to use the new Debug menu.
If you ever wish to disable it again, just repeat the command with a "0" instead of a "1".
Under the Debug menu, you'll see the User Agent sub-menu; select Windows MSIE 6.0 from the list and then try connecting to your web site
Dreamweaver you might need to update your version.
To Dreamweaver 8.01

Uploading problems with Safari 4.1.3 -

Hello, I just thought this was a funny question to ask -
On my PowerPC G5 tower, running OS 10.4.11, and my question is in regards to Safari version 4.1.3 uploading problems for facebook and youtube... I always have to use FireFox version 3.6.13... and not without trouble either.
I get it. I need a new computer, but I just thought it fascinating why one works 90% of the time and the other never works.

Firefox is way more upto date than Safari in 10.4.11, but TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

Also I think they Require Flash &/or Java, which may be a problem in 10.4

IPhoto Uploading Error!

The last few times I have tried to upload new photo's from an SDHC card to iPhoto it has given me an error response sating that it could not read some jpg files and a window pops up showing the list of jpeg files/mov files it did not upload.
When it promts me to decide whether I want to keep the photo's I uploaded on the card or delete.....I respond Keep Originals on the SDHC card.
What I then have to do after the initial upload is complete.... is click on the SDHC card in iPhoto to reread the card and upload the unreadable files it stated it could not upload.
So I repeat the above process serveral times until all the photo's on the SDHC card are completely updated. Otherwise all my photo's do not get uploaded ...
Why can't iPhoto upload all the photo's on the card all at once without the error promts? If I didn't know any better I could have assumed all photo's were uploaded and clicked on delete photo's on the card after the initial upload was complete.
Very Scary... Can someone explain why this issue occurs during uploads?

Is your Library on an external disk? What format is that disk?
Regards
TD
