Issues tagging faces in iphoto and Facebook

Hi
I have iPhoto 11 (v9.4.3 720.91) and have been using faces on it for the last 4 months or so.
I linked my facebook account with my iPhoto and have been sharing albums on facebook happily, assuming the faces I tagged were tagging on facebook too.
However, when I shared an album yesterday I realised the tags on facebook are just names, not links to the facebook pages.
I have spent ages reading posts and other questions like this but have had no luck... When I type a name, I see loads of names with the facebook symbol and those presumably tag correctly in facebook, however both mine and my partner's don't have that icon and aren't tagging correctly.
The full name of both of our 'faces' is correct, as were our email addresses. I tried changing the email addresses to the @facebook.com ones but that made no difference.
I have tried sharing a photo that iPhoto recognises as having two faces but kept them as 'unamed' and then tagged them in facebook instead. When I update my facebook album containing that photo in iPhoto, the photo has both of our names tagged, but in the info bar on the right, neither name appears in the 'faces' section; and both my partner and my 'faces' show one unconfirmed face on that particular photo. I am unable to confirm the faces though, it just keeps saying they are unconfirmed once I have confirmed them.
It is really annoying me, as I don't want to have to upload photos to facebook before tagging faces and tagging them on facebook and then on iPhoto AS WELL!
Anyone have any idea or any help here?
Thanks,
Jen

Ok, thanks.
I think the issues I have are only with people whose faces I tagged in iPhoto before I linked to facebook...
Ill try contacting facebook and see if they can help. Will post any solution I get here for others.

Iphoto and Facebook aren't communicating. I'm unable to post pictures to FB from iPhoto. Any suggestions?

IPhoto and Facebook not communicating. Pics won't upload from iPhoto to Facebook.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 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. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained 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.

HT1349 Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook.

Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook. I have downloaded the app and sometimes it will let me log in and then it will log me out and not let me back in. I have deleted and downloaded it several times and nothing is working. HELP!

@razmee: rather unhelpful.
@tata - we're having the same trouble, and the only solution we've found doesn't fix it.
1) uninstall
2) login on PC/MAC and change password
3) reboot iphone
4) install facebook app, reboot again
5) login from iphone.
No joy.
Safari works, but not for the apps.
Of course, it's Facebook that has to fix this.

How to unsync iphoto and facebook

I have successfully unsynced my iphoto and facebook, which allows me to delete photos/edit photos from iphoto without affecting my facebook pictures and albums. Here's how it's done.
Go to iphoto.
Click on "iphoto" in top left of your screen (in the tool bar)
Click on "preferences"
Click on "accounts"
Highlight your facebook account and hit the minus sign below.
Check the box that appears, and away you go.
Your facebook will now be disabled from your iphoto and your f/b pics will be safe.
I would advise not re-syncing, as I don't know what will happen if you do. Now that I've come this far, I'm not going to bother finding out!
I safely emptied my iphoto trash, which held 4600 deleted pictures in it. Many of these pics were posted on my facebook. Once emptied, my facebook pictures were still safely showing on f/b. (when you empty your iphoto trash, you must then go to the trash can on your dock as the photos have been moved to a folder there. Delete that folder to permanently delete your trashed pics).

Larry, you have posted on every thread regarding people wanting iPhoto and Facebook to stop synchronizing changes and you actually sound like a Microsoft Windows fanatic as you explain why the hundreds of people that all want to do the same thing -- disable future changes to a Facebook album from 5 days/months/years ago -- just need to understand that the product works exactly as the manual describes and go away. Specifically, they should never have used the capability in the first place (i.e. they should travel back in time and alter their decision to use iPhoto's Facebook upload capability).
This is not at all in the spirit of how most Apple products work. Their products are generally quite intuitive. In this case, all users of Facebook have experienced album uploads as a one-time event (perhaps with a few additional tweaks immediately after the initial upload). Therefore, this idea of life-long synchronization is completely counterintuitive. Further, iPhoto allows the capability to configure a preference for manually syncing changes (and adds a sync button next to the album), yet continues to automatically sync certain types of changes even when said button is not pressed.
I don't think you've yet added any value to the discussion by implying that the typical and expected user experience is invalid -- especially when one cannot retroactively change a past decision to use iPhoto to upload photos to Facebook.
A simple "Disable future synchronization of this album with Facebook" checkbox makes a lot of sense. Yes, I submitted a feature request.

Some tagged faces in iPhoto 11 missing under person's name

A few days ago I sent my mom a couple of photos of my dad. I went to his name in Faces and found some and e-mailed them to her.
She asked me if I could make some prints of them so this evening I went back into iPhoto and clicked on his name again under Faces. I couldn't find one of the photos I had sent her. I was able to find it under the tagged face of another person in the photo. I checked and my dad is tagged in the photo but it no longer shows up under his Faces photos. It was there just a few days ago.
I tried repairing and rebuilding the iPhoto database and the missing photo is still not under his name.
I'm wondering what happened and also how many other photos are missing from their tagged names.

actually - I just found out on another thread that perhaps "file path" was never on the information panel anyway. I wonder if I am confusing it with the info panel I see in iphoto library Manager.
And I just hovered my mouse over the "at the beach" file name in the information panel, and discovered the origianal file name showed up. And if you hover your mouse of the date, you see "taken, modified and and imported".
Still wish I could see the file path, but now wondering if I ever did in iPhoto. But hope this reply of my own helps others that may be wondering where some of the stuff went.

Iphoto and facebook - most recent photos not showing up in file upload!!

on iphoto, all the photos are fine and the most recent photos i import are in the recent import folder like they should be. i'm trying to upload a new profile picture to facebook but when i go to file upload and then click on iphoto to find the picture, it's not there, along with the rest of the recently imported photos. the most "recent photos" when i go to file upload are photos i imported from september 24, 2009 and i have imported a bunch of pictures after that date that aren't showing up when i go to file upload. i already tried rebuilding my library and all that but it didn't do anything. help?

I just started having this same problem. New events are not appearing in the media browser section of the file upload window. The last event to show up is from October 12th. I tried several different websites and browsers.
They are fine in iPhoto and the files show up in the "All Images" section of the Finder.

Using Places and Faces with iPhoto and Aperture 3

I have been a long time user of iPhoto, but have recently moved to +Aperture 3+ to use its better editing functionality. Initially I just imported photos for editing in +Aperture 3+.
I recently decided to "share" the previews with iPhoto and leaving the iPhoto Library in its current location.
Q. I had assumed that any editing in Aperture would modify the image in the +iPhoto library+. Is this the case or are they duplicates in each separate libraries?
Q. Aperture also seems to offer easier assigning of Places and/or Faces but this is not being reflected in the +iPhoto library+. Again are these metadata changes not being carries across to the +iPhoto Library+?
Q. Is there any way to sync and changes from one library to the other?
I would be grateful for any advice as to how the setup should be altered before I get in a complete muddle.
Thanks in anticipation.

Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
The only communication between the two is as follows:
Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modifeid versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
That's it.
So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library.
Q. I had assumed that any editing in Aperture would modify the image in the iPhoto library. Is this the case or are they duplicates in each separate libraries?
This is not the case.
a: Aperture is designed for a non-destructive workflow and won't change any file anywhere, anytime.
b: You seem to have confused Aperture with an Editor like Photoshop.
It's not an adjunct to iPhoto, it's a complete replacement for it - and then some.
Q. Aperture also seems to offer easier assigning of Places and/or Faces but this is not being reflected in the iPhoto library. Again are these metadata changes not being carries across to the +iPhoto Library+?
No. See above.
Q. Is there any way to sync and changes from one library to the other?
No.
I would be grateful for any advice as to how the setup should be altered before I get in a complete muddle.
Pick one or the other to use. They both do the same job, just Aperture is a whole lot more powerful.

Photobooth, iPhoto and facebook

I recently got a macbook pro and don't know how to use everything yet.
When I try to upload pictures from the photobooth folder to facebook, for some reason pictures I took recently don't show up in the uploader. They are still in photobooth but I can't see the ones I took yesterday in the uploader. I thought I could fix this by moving them to iPhoto and uploading to facebook from there but I don't know how to move more than one at a time. Also, the pictures that are 4 in one (I don't know what they're called) go to iPhoto only as the first frame. Is there a way to move many pictures at once from photobooth to iPhoto and get the 4-in-1 pictures to transfer all 4 frames? Or is there a reason my new photobooth pictures don't show up in the facebook uploader?

HI,
You need the Facebook iPhoto Exporter available here.

Iphoto and Facebook tagging (or retagging)

I've tagged about 1200 photos as Charlotte Rose but her Facebook name is Charlotte Smith. Is there anything I can do on my end to link them up when i post them on Facebook?

How do i edit photos and such without them going to facebook???
You do not
That is how the iPhoto/FaceBook works - if you do not want your face book albums linked to iPhoto, then export the photos and upload them to FaceBook directly via the web upload
One of the major features of the iPhoto/FaceBook interface is two way syncing of albums

IPhoto and Facebook issue

I cannot get an album to upload to Facebook. I just uploaded an album last Sunday. Yesterday and today no luck. I may get 1 or two photos up but most of the time it just says pending or publishing thumbnails and hangs there. HELP (Using 9.1.3 version of iPhoto 11) Published to Flickr with no issues.

Geoff
There have been loads of problem the last week with Facebook photos. Google Facebook photo upload.
In my case, Sunday Facebook deleted all my photos from recent albums uploaded via iPhoto. Had been working fine. Album uploaded yesterday works fine.
Anyway it appears the problem is a Facebook server snafu that may have occurred during Facebook system maintenance. Facebook hasn't said when or how it will be fixed.

Iphoto and facebook issues

My Iphoto library is showing exclamation marks where pictures once existed. These exclamation marks are all my Facebook albums. How do I make the pictures re-appear in my library?

where do you see these? When viewing events? when en=larging a single photo? What version of iPhoto? What has recently changed? Have you cleaned your disk or run any cleanup software like CleanMyMac2 or KacKeeper (Hint - Never use those programs - they are not needed and often damage the iPhoto library and the system)

IPhoto and Facebook - Syncing issues with publication error

I am having trouble with the syncing function using the facebook icon at the bottom right of iPhoto '09. I create a facebook album with several photos, and it seems to take the appropriate time to upload the photos. But when I go to Facebook, there is only a few, if any photos in the album. It did create the album, however. I delete the album and repeat the same steps, and a different amount of photos would upload this time, but nowhere near the correct amount. Also when i try to sync the albums again, usually an error message comes up saying...
"An error occurred with the publication of album "(Album Name)." Do you want to remove the album from your library?
And then in small print
"The feed could not be found or is invalid."
And then the option to remove or keep the album.
Why am I having syncing problems?
For now I am using the Export function and a facebook plugin which works fine, but I want the ability to add photos to libraries and sync rather than using the export function.

Same problems here, multiple albums. It will upload a couple photos, then say it can't find the album.
(then Keep or Remove Album blah blah, because that's a good feature. oh wait, we couldn't find your photos, so we'll just throw em all out, cool?)

Syncing multiple iPhoto and Facebook albums

Hallo everyone...
I'm using iPhoto '09 on 3 Macs under the same LAN. Every Mac is set to login to same Facebook account and post photos. In this scenario I have:
• Mac A created a album and shared to Facebook
• Mac B created a album and shared to Facebook
• Mac C created a album and shared to Facebook
When I check Facebook, I correctly see the three album posted, but every Mac "sees" in its library only the album published and not the other two from other Macs...
Is there a way to see on each Mac all the albums posted in Facebook from the others? Since they "share" the same Facebook account, I suppose it would be a great option!
Thanks in advance for your great job!
Raf

Are you going to continue using iPhoto on yoru old Mac? As documented changes made to the ihoto library are synced to Facebook -- if you simply trash the iPhoto library on the old mac then nothing will be changed in FB - if you delete them using iPhoto then then changes will be synced

Iphoto and facebook

I've uploaded albums to facebook, and want those photos to stay on facebook. However, I'm running out of space on my computer, and want to backup my photos. Is there a way to do that without losing all the photos from my facebook account?

Backing up your photos does not affect the iPhoto library or facebook any any way - a backup is simply a copy of the contents to protect you against loss due to computer, software or human failure - and you should be backing up often if your photos (and other date) have any value to you - things do happen
If you delete photos from iPhoto then the deletions will be synced to facebook and delete there too
If that is not what you want then you need to export the photos and upload directly to facebook rather than use iPhoto to upload - one of the features of the iPhoto interface is syncing

IPhoto and Facebook Albums

I just transferred my iPhoto library to my new MacBook Pro. I can see my Facebook albums in iPhoto on my new Mac. I need to delete all my photos on my old Mac. Will this delete them from Facebook too? Thanks! I don't want to delete my photos on the old Mac until I know the answer!
