IPhoto Uploading from Facebook

I am unable to upload photos from iphoto to Facebook. I was able to do so before and now it prompts me for email account and password and it continues to give me an error when the account and password are correct. What have I done wrong? It was working fine before and now its not.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I have no answer to your question about Facebook, but for a feature request:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Where are deleted iPhoto albums from facebook on a Mac?

I uploaded 4 pics from my cousin Mac onto my facebok account, whyle doing so I sinc my fc account to iPhoto, all was just fine up to when my cousin deleted my albums from iPhoto deleting this way all of my 93 albums on facebook too. Would anybody know if my albums are recoverable from somewhere on his Mac, he had a look but only found the covers i.e. one pic for each album?

Problem solved.
I played with it some more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable to the AppleScript script that was the problem. I was using "on run argv", which I read on some site earlier today as being how AppleScript handles arguments that are passed to it. More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses an array pre-defined as "arguments" whenever AppleScript passes a variable to it. So, on a lark, I decided to try using "arguments" the other way 'round (I also had to add an extra set of quote marks on the "do script" line because AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them:
set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
end tell
And that did it! I can now pass a variable all the way from the top-level JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign code to the bottom-level JavaScript Acrobat code! YAY!

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...

Use Apple mail - set in the iPhoto preferences

Facebook pictures uploaded from iPhoto get displayed in low resolution on mac browsers

... but is otherwise fine on PC version of the browsers.
When viewing facebook photos on Safari (or Chrome, or Firefox) on Mac, photos uploaded using iPhoto get displayed in low res. Manually uploaded (through facebook upload tool) photos are displayed ok.

Hi Jon,
Thank so much for your reply. That portion I comfortable with, but was thinking I could take photos with my mobile phone and have them sync to a folder on my PC as my originals. I dont want to download photo's from my phone. It does work as desired exept the fact that the photos resolution is lower on the PC than the "originals" on the Revel website.
If I right click on the photo in PE and select "download original from revel" it works, but sort of defeats it purpose in my case.
It seems like Photoshop is not importing the pic at the original resolution. ie to me I would expect a "import original resolution" inside photoshop.
I am using PE12.
I dont like to compare PE revel to apple iCloud, but this is how their software works. If I take a photo on my iPhone its on my mac in full res within minutes to do with as I please. This is what I was thinking Revel could do for me and more. Dropbox, Onedrive and Googledrive all support this, but then I have to import it into PE.
Once again. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated!!
Kind Regards
Jason

Facebook photos teeny-tiny when I upload from iPhoto

Whenever I upload pictures from my iPhoto to facebook they are really small. It doesn't matter what camera they come from...they are always tiny when I upload from iPhoto. If I upload directly from my phone they are a normal size.. Anyone know how to help??

exactly how are you uploading to facebook?
The best way is to select the photos and click on the facebook icon in the tool bar and use the iPhoto uploader

Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random.

Hi Guys and Girls,
My Photos uploaded from iPhoto '11 to facebook keep removing themselves at random. Who else is having this annoying issue?
Cheers,
Keegan

Do not use the iPhoto - Facebook link - as advertised changes on either side are automatically synced to the other - that is the way it works
If you do not want the features that iPhoto offers then upload directly form a web browser or other method

How can you select which pictures to upload from camera? plus facebook ?

Is there any way to select which pictures from your digital camera you would like to upload on to iphoto? Or is the only way to upload all of the pictures on your camera? I have 214 pictures on my camera and 210 of them are already in iphoto...i only want to upload the new 4!
Another question..
I am trying to upload my pictures on to Facebook, and they are significantly smaller than the pictures I uploaded via my PC. How can I get them to upload at normal size?
THANKS!

Re: the FaceBook problem
This sounds like you're uploading the Thumbnails that iPhoto uses to display the pics in the iPhoto Window not the pics themselves. Have you been uploading from the Data folder in the iPhoto Library Folder?
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Photos uploaded to facebook have incorrect date in iPHOTO

I found about 30 events in iPHOTO with a single photo in them.
I panicked - thinking all the remaining photos from each event were missing.
Then I noticed every single event had the same date - Jan 1, 2013 - even though all of the photos were from earlier dates.
Finally I noticed that these seem to be photos that were originally in iPHOTO and had been uploaded to Facebook from iPHOTO (again- these photos were all uploaded BEFORE Jan 1, 2013) .
Does anyone know what is going on here?
Thanks

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.

Photo files size when importing from camera, uploading to facebook

When I import photos from my camera to iPhoto, then upload them to facebook, they are not the original size. This is my first mac and first time to use iPhoto so maybe that's normal. Is there a setting I need to change? How do I know if the files I have imported are being saved on my computer with their original specs? I am hesitant to clear the pics from my camera, fearing I might lose their original quality!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
As for facebook, when using my old pc the photos remained the original size after uploading. It wasn't until I used iPhoto that they began to upload in a smaller version.
Are you referring to file size as in KB or MB or image size as in pixel dimension. As Terence pointed out I doubt if Facebook will accept a full image files at the original size. Most are in the MB range and Facebook would run out of storage space in no time.
It might very well be that iPhoto will resize the pixel dimension of the photos to a "standard" size for uploading and Facebook then downsizes the actual file size. That means compressing the file to make a smaller file but not a smaller image.

IPhoto '11 sits on 'Pending' when uploading to Facebook

Aside from my many grumbles over iPhoto '11, which I won't bore you with as everyone else has done that plenty already, my biggest gripe with iPhoto is an issue that some people seem to have but nobody has said what/if it is resolved and that is uploading to Facebook.
Since I upgraded from iPhoto '09 to '11 I have been unable to upload to facebook, a feature that worked great in '09. I have done all the things that were suggested through various googling such as removing my facebook account in preferences and removing albums, but it still doesn't work. iPhoto can create a new album on my fb account, but that's it, when it tries to upload a photo it just sticks with a progress indicator bar saying 'Pending'... that's it.
What a rip off!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I have updated to version 9.1 (475) of iPhoto and I updated Mac OS X to 10.6.5 on Friday so afaik I'm up to date with all the iPhoto type updates.
Thanks in advance.

I had this same problem, exactly. It was a brand-new install of iPhoto 11; and an empty library, not an upgraded one. I had uploaded an album or two to Facebook, and then it stopped working. Every time I'd restart iPhoto, the spinner next to the Facebook section would appear and start spinning. It wouldn't publish anything. My network monitor revealed that iPhoto was not sending or receiving any data, not even an occasional "ping". It said "pending", and would never finish. It would go for hours. Besides that, it wouldn't let me quit iPhoto. It would warn me that a sync was in progress, and ask if I wanted to cancel the sync and quit; but if I said yes, it still would never quit. The Quit menu item would gray out, and I would have to force quit it.
I tried removing the Facebook account from iPhoto and recreating it, but that did not help, until I followed the recommendation above, which is to delete the Facebook account from iPhoto, quit iPhoto, restart, and then add it back. That worked.
I've had so many problems with iPhoto 11. It was some cool changes, but it is far, far more buggy than the previous version. In fact, I had no significant problems with the previous version. Not sure what Apple did, but they really bungled this release. The annoying thing is that the bugs seem to be about very elementary things (accounts, permissions, and other low-level things), not the new whiz-bang features. I'd expect more from a shareware developer, but this is from a multi-billion dollar corporation.

Uploading from iphoto shuts down my browsers

When I try to upload from iphoto (not with the iphoto facebook uploader but through the files to my blog for example) it shuts down my browser. I have tried this on several browsers - chrome, safari, firefox - they all crash. WHY? And how do I fix this? I am using iLife 9. Please help.

Thank you for your response.
I attempt to upload photos to either of my blogs (wordpress and blogger) by clicking to choose files from my computer -> under the "MEDIA" section on the left column I click photos -> I am given the options of iphoto or photobooth -> click iphoto -> at which point i have the option to pick events or photos or last import, etc. When I click events the browser then freezes up and then shuts down all windows that are open.
Sometimes it allows me to take the photos from the "last import" section under iphoto.
I CAN upload photos directly from my desktop, but I don't want to drag or copy/paste everything to the desktop if I don't have to.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
