IPhoto won't upload to Facebook

Over the past two days, I've been trying to upload two separate groups of photos to Facebook using the iPhoto app for the new iPad. iPhoto repeatedly fails to upload more than half of the photos, taking sometimes up to an hour to upload just 10 photos. When I try to upload the remaining photos, some will post, but again, more than half will fail. Additionally, they upload out of order.
I haven't had this issue before.

I ran across this post by Paul Griffin today:

Re: My iPhoto will not longer let me hit the Facebook icon and immediately post to Facebook. Now it says, "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" which you still can't do. What gives?

Just solved it here after an hour+ of experimenting.
Try this:
• When you get prompted "Do you want to set up iPhoto of post to Facebook?" confirm and it will bring up your regular Facebook home page in asmall viewer window.
• Go up to the upper right corner of the Facebook page and log out, then hit the "Close" button at the bottom of the small viewer window.
• You'll probably get the same "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" prompt again. This time hit Cancel
• Now try to share your pictures to Facebook again. You'll get the "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" message again. Do it and this time hopefully you should get a prompt to login to your Facebook account. Enter your Facebook name and password. This should reset your connection.
• If successful you should get a prompt from Facebook that you can close the page. Close it and fingers crossed, all should work again. That's what worked for me.
If that fails the workaround is to export the photos to the Desktop from iPhoto and use your browser to upload.

My iPhoto won't upload pictures to Facebook...

My iPhoto won't upload pictures to Facebook. It lets me hit share and even choose the album I want to put them in. But when I click share the photos never show up on Facebook. Help?

Estou tentando há dias compartilhar fotos do iphoto para o facebook e não consigo, já desistalei várias vezes os dois aplicativos e não resolve. Acredito que depois da atualização do app facebook gerou esse conflito, como posso resolver isso?

Iphoto crash when uploading to Facebook

Hi all and HNY.
My problem is trying to upload photos and albums to Facebook from iPhoto. We have 2 Facebook accounts, my wife and me. My account is fine and I can upload photos easily but every time we try with her Facebook account iPhoto starts and then crashes.
We have a late 2009 iMac 21½" running Yosemite and all the latest versions of apps including iPhoto, we have also just upgraded to 12GB of RAM from 4GB.
The next and last resort I feel is just to remove her Facebook account from iPhoto and then add it back again hoping this might clear the problem. I don't know if its a Facebook issue or iPhoto problem right now.
Also concerned about removing a Facebook account from iPhoto as we don't want to lose any Facebook albums, don't think that will happen anyway. What you do see before deleting the account from iPhoto is an option about importing all Facebook albums to iPhoto but as they would have all come from iPhoto in the first place then I don't see the need to do this.
Hoping somebody else has had the same problem and can share some views / thoughts.
Thanks

Desperate for some help, anyone?

Iphoto won't upload certain jpeg files from my camera?

i uploaded the files off my Nikon D7000 (not the first time) and iphoto gives me a message it cannot upload certain files (121 of them) as they are not recognized. the images are still on my camera, but won't upload onto iphoto. can someone help me understand?
the file names look like this: _DSC4337.JPG

What version of iPhoto?
Is that _DSC format the same as the ones which did import? I'm curious about that leading _
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?
Post back with the result.

Iphoto won't upload pictures from iphone anymore

Hi there, whilst I was uploading my photos from my iphone to iphoto, my macbook battery died (eventhough it said 35 mins left-but that's a different story!) when i reconnected everything iphoto won't let me upload - it keeps saying 'iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.' No pictures are actually in iphoto from the upload when the battery died so I don't know why it keeps saying this. I tried using Image capture but this didn't work either...Can someone help please?

I updated my phone to iOS 7.1.1 since writing my post, and that seemed to fix the problem. Thank you!

Iphoto won't upload to fb!!

I have never had trouble uploading albums to fb. But now, they won't upload. If I click on the album on the side bar, it will try but then an error message comes up and says to check login information. I am logged in to fb on my computer. If I click on the album in events, the publish button is greyed out and I can't click it. I have went to the change accounts button, it pulls up my fb without issue, I have logged out and back in several times, but still no luck. Any suggestions?

When I said,
It does not show in in Photo Stream on my Mac or anywhere else
I meant, "I'm an idiot". It shows up, in time sequence, not at the end of the photostream. I just didn't look back far enough in the stream to see them.

IPhoto won't upload my photos to facebook

I created an album in iPhoto and I click on Share in the bottom right of my screen and select facebook. It creates an album on facebook and says it's uploading thumbnails then finishes. I check Facebook and the album is there but none of the photos are uploaded. If I try and manually add photos from Facebook the ones in the album cannot be selected. I'm having the same problem with an existing album on Facebook. I added some new photos to it within iPhoto and selected them to share and it only uploaded a few.

It's a know problem with iPhoto so we'll have to wait until the next iPHoto updater is released. In the mean time we you'll have to upload photos the old fashion way like you've already done, manually.

IPhoto not allowing upload to facebook

Using 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2, I am getting error message (authenication failed check log in ...) when I try to upload pics to facebook or delete facebook albums. How do I fix this?

Check your settings in the iPhoto accounts preferences.
Also, where are iphotos stored on the computer...ie, which finder folder?
iPhoto stores the files inside your iPhoto library - it is a nested set folders, wrapped as a package. This package is by default stored in your "pictures" folder - see Terence Devlin's user tip:

My iPhotos won't upload to say an email or ebay

I have recently had my MacBook hard drive replaced and iPhoto was not on it. It is now OS Lion so I used a Life 09 disc to download iPhotos. This has worked fine but when I try to upload photos from it to say an email or ebay I can not get the iPhoto events up to select photos. When I click on the iPhoto library the coloured uploading icon appears but nothing happens.

There are server problems right now with iMessage effecting some users. See http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/.

IPhoto won't upload pictures from iPhone

I'm having trouble uploading photos from my iPhone 4 to iPhoto on my MacBook. When I connect my phone to the computer, iPhoto doesn't automatically open like it use to. However, if I manually open iPhoto it recongnizes that my phone is connected. When I click on my device it shows that there are no pictures to import, when infact, there are. The last time I uploaded photos from my phone to my computer was at the end of December. I believe there has been at least one or two updates to the iPhone since. Could that have something to do with it? Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Pics & videos won't upload to Facebook with MacPro 10.9.5

Since we have upgraded to a Macbook Pro version 10.9.5, we can upload photos & videos to our computer from our camera but can no longer upload any of our photos or videos to facebook. However, the photos on this computer that were copied off of an older MacPro will still upload. It appears it has something to do with how the file is saved? Any suggestions?

Did that days ago with no success.
I have followed every instruction I can find, and even threatened both devices. Nothing.
I've had Macs for 12 years so am no novice.
Alas, I was forced to get an IPhone 8 months ago because a client wanted to text me, and my flip phone wouldn't cut it. It has been a source of continual aggravation. All I want to do is text, make phone calls, and occasionally go on the Net. No music, no photos, no e-mail, no games, no crazy apps, etc. Simple. Well you'd think so.
Genius Bar requires a 25-mile trip, so I turn to the communities first.

Iphotos won't publish on facebook?

I have previously been able to post/publish photos from iphoto straight to facebook. Now when I go to Share - Facebbook it comes up with Do you want to set up iphoto to publish to Facebook? Cancel or Set Up. When I choose set up it open a small Facebook window, a blue bar moves (looks like it is loading the photos) and then finishes but only give me an option to Close. When I do, nothing happens, I assume the set up has happened and try to re: share them but asks me the same thing. Pls help?? There are no updates needed on my computer so unsure why this has stopped working for me?
Tks

Once I downloaded Yosemite the iphoto does not work anymore. So I went ahead and trash the app and attempted to reinstall.
Did you check, if iPhoto is really gone from the Applications folder? You should not be seeing an "Update", if you do not have iPhoto installed any longer. Make sure, it has been deleted from "Applications".
Then go to the main page of the App Store ("Featured") and search for iPhoto. If iPhoto is now showing as "Free", buy it for free to install it again.

Movie in iPhoto won't upload to mobileme gallery

I am trying to upload a short video to my mobileme gallery imported from my digital camera to iPhoto. I have several others that I have posted using iPhoto 08. Every time I try to do it, it starts the process, shows the video with pending underneath it, you see it listed on the sidebar with the spinning arrow, then iPhoto just quits. When I relaunch iPhoto it shows up on the left under mobileme gallery but if you click on it nothing is there. When I go to my web gallery and log in, same thing. There is a place for it, but when you click on the video nothing happens, there is really nothing there.
What I have since done is bring the video into iMovie and share to my mobileme gallery and it works perfectly.
I really should be able to do it straight from iPhoto, as I have always done it that way before.
Anyone else having this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Final Cut Pro won't upload to Facebook (or login)

When I finalize a project and attempt to share it to Facebook I get he login screen. I enter my correct creditials and it hangs on logging into Facebook. YouTube and others work fine.
Anyone else see this issue?

Are you absolutely sure it actually stops?
Once the process reaches 95% the movie is actually uploading to YouTube (not processing).
Dig into the info triangles on Share Monitor and if you watch the progress, it should gradually change the percentage completed - but it's slow as uploading is always slower than downloading.

I mistakenly created a new library but was eventually able to retrieve it. Now when I try to upload to facebook I receive an error message to "Please try again later". It's been 5 days. I have tried several times a day. I have tried to unlock permissio

I am unable to upload photos/albums to facebook. I used to be able to until I mistakenly created a new library. I was able to revert back to my library that contains my photo's but now it won't upload to facebook. It will to flickr. I have rebuilt the library cache and permissions. I have unlocked the permissions. I keep encountering the error "Please try again later". It's been 5 days. There is no fix on this issue ANYWHERE! I can upload from my desktop. Please help.
Thanks!

Have you tried to sign out of Facebook in iPhoto and to start over? Remove your Facebook account from the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts panel. Select Facebook and press the "-" button.
Quit iPhoto, make sure, your Facebook albums no longer do show, then add the Facebook account again by pressing "+".
Then try to publish your albums again. If there are still problems, try LarryHN's user tip.
A solution to FaceBook posting issues
In the long run, it is much simpler, to export your albums from iPhoto to the Desktop and to upload them from your Facebook page. This way, you will avoid all the problems caused by syncing the albums between your iPhoto library and Facebook.
