LR 4/4.1RC and flickr uploading issues - resolved?

Have the uploading issues between LR 4/4.1RC and flickr been resolved?  Waiting on upgrading from LR3, but the forum reports from unhappy flickr users wanting to "downgrade' are making me nervous.  Should I wait, just upgrade to 4.0 and leave the RC alone for now?  

An update ...
I have discovered that RC2 publishing does seem to be working (for me) but Flickr or LR seems to be objecting ("Invalid at the top level of the document") to specific images possibly relating to the contents of the caption field.
I narrowed down the failure to just one image ... removed its caption... it published, I put the caption back on - "Invalid ..." error came back.
FYI and not sure if relevant - I sometimes put http links in my caption fields.
I would have come back with a more comprehensive test, but it now appears that LR will not communicate with Flickr at all, now saying it cannot contact the Flickr service, so I cannot investigate further yet.
I know a little off the wall here ... but is it conceivable that Flickr itself has locked me out due to "erroneous" or suspicious content?     I have never had problems with LR talking to Flickr before today and publishing to SmugMug is still working fine.

  • Tags/Captions and Flickr Upload w/ PSE4

    Not sure if this is a PSE problem or a Flickr problem, figured I'd ask here first to see if anyone else uploads to Flickr.
    I caption and tag my pictures in PSE, then do a "write tags to file". When I upload those pictures to Flickr (using the Flickr Uploader), maybe 95% do not have a caption, and 5% does. The difference with that 5% is that those are pictures I've edited within PSE multiple times. It seems like either my PSE captions aren't getting saved with the rest of the pictures, or Flickr isn't pulling them.
    Anyone have any experiences either way or ideas? Please tell me there's a way to fix this.

    Initially I imagine it not being integrated directly into PSE. In other words it wouldn't be a drop down in the share button toolbar. I've done a little bit of research and poked around in the data files and haven't found a way that I could integrate it just yet but I'm still looking. This would definitely be cool to do.
    When you say, "ability to chose to send tags and captions with the pictures without having to write tags to the original file," I assume you mean not writing to the meta data of the image? Here's a quick step-by-step overview of how I imagine the app working that should hopefully clarify this point as well as make it more clear how I imagine the app running.
    Let me preface the description by saying I would try and write the application in such a way where it could easily be expanded to support other photo sharing services and possibly other photo cataloging apps (though this is much less of a priority).
    1.) Start PSESync (this was just an initial name idea. If anybody has any name suggestions I would love to hear them).
    2.) Choose a catalog to work with (file dialog, drop-down, etc).
    3.) Choose a service to sync your catalog with (this would initially only be Flickr but could be branched out to another service or even a simple XML output).
    5.) Enter in needed parameters for the service (in the case of Flickr the username and password of the account your using)
    4.) Press the "Analyze" button.
    5.) PSESync will first check to see if your catalog has ever been synced with the selected service before. If not it will create a new table in the catalog database to contain the sync information.
    6.) PSESync will then sync your images (including captions and tag information) and collections with the service. No changes will be made to the images at sync time, only the data that PSE keeps (captions, tags, etc). I may include automatic resizing of images when a new image is uploaded but this would probably come after the initial release.
    By syncing I mean any information that is newer in the catalog then they are in the service will overwrite data in the service and any information that is newer in the service will overwrite the data in the catalog. The details of how this process would work are still being worked out.
    I'm hoping that in the next couple of days I can get the basics of PSESync scoped and also get create the project on Sourceforge (http://www.sourceforge.net) to track feature requests, bugs, etc. I'll post that information when it's available but for the time being if anybody has any suggestions I'm all ears.

  • How can I use more than one Facebook ID in Photos? (Plus, Flickr upload issues!)

    I'm having problems with the new Photos and ability to share images from the application. It seems I can only have my personal Facebook ID, and can't add a second ID (which is my business page, which I also like to post images to).
    Any idea how to add a Facebook Page ID?
    Also having major problems with Flickr. Seems inputting my user name (through System Preferences) does not match my actual user name in the Flickr app, so I can't upload images. UGH. (Why was this okay in iPhoto, but not now?) The only way to access Flickr is inputting your Yahoo ID, but if your Yahoo ID is different than your actual user name on Flickr, you're screwed.
    Any ideas? I tried deleting the profile, but I still can't input my Flickr name.
    Thanks.

    So, after trying to upload an album four times, it seems it finally kicked in/made the connection on Flickr. MAGIC.
    A second Facebook ID, however, remains a mystery.

  • Modules for ZenFolio, Smugmug and Flickr uploads

    In case you haven't heard about it, Jeffrey Friedl has released modules for uploading directly from Lightroom to the following services:
    - ZenFolio - A relatively new photo display / sales / print service. Really worth a look. I have an account and I'm very happy with the features.
    - Smugmug - Same as Zenfolio, but not quite as nice.
    - Flickr - Is a description really necessary?
    These are the first really useful plugins coming out from the new SDK release. You just need to copy a folder into a specific location on your system and the next time you start Lightroom the module will be available in the 'Export' process.
    If you use any of the above services, these modules are really worth looking downloading.
    Link:
    http://regex.info/blog/2007-11-21/642

    I think it is quite safe to eliminate LR as a source of the problem. It doesn't do anything else but submit an upload request to the Flickr API.
    Have you tried to export the same image to say a location on the harddrive?
    Do you still see the green bar?
    Have you tried uploading the same image to Flickr manually?
    Again, I think there is little chance that LR is to blame unless there is a rendering problem which should show up in other rendering, e.g., exports as well.

  • Log and Transfer uploading issues

    When trying to transfer my footage in the 'Log and Transfer' window I am able to preview my footage, however when putting it into the import queue it simply pops up with a red circle and an exclamation mark in it... and when hovvering over it it says 'Error: No Data'.
    However, for the past week or so I have been using log and transfer and it has worked perfectly fine, and now it has started to fail on me.
    There is enough room on the hardrive, I have also read previous discussions which have been posted a few years ago trying to find out what the problem is, from doing this I have tried to change the sound to 'Plain stereo' and have cleaned the 'cache', yet the problem is still happening.
    It is version 7.0.3.

  • FYI: date.timezine and mysql.sock issues resolved!

    For anyone who might run into the same issues with your website(s) like I did. Here are a couple things you may want to look into if you are having these issues.
    The cause of these issues is due to snow leopard server using PHP 5.3.
    *_ISSUE #1_*: PHP throwing the following errors:

    Didn't resolve it for me using 10.6.1 server. I tried adding each of the following in php.ini (not all at the same time, one by one...). Restarted web service after each change (even though you don't really need to).

    If enabling EIST would cause OC unstable, that means this OC setting is unstable after all. What EIST does is to reduce the multiplier back to 6x during idle, it also set the CPU Core Voltage LOWER.
    I don't have this P965 Platinum board to test out, the temperature thing definitely can be fixed, by next BIOS release hopefully. Del UK, did E6600 temp. report correctly?
    Hi Maesus,
    Yes, temps reported ok with E6600 and speedstep could enabled and disabled.  Could see difference from standard to OCing at 3.4Ghz.
    Had similar issues with Prescott on the PT880 Version 1 when that came out and was solved with a few bios updates.....
    I did go and check the Intel spex for P965 chipset and that states max FSB of 1066.  In theory the P965, do not support the 1333 FSB.
    I have emailed support and know could be a few days for reply....... not long 
    Other replies, thanks it all helps and I do try them out.

  • IPhoto and Flickr - disappearing photos and involuntary syncing

    After control-clicking on Check Now in one of my Flickr albums, within iPhoto of course, all of the pictures in the album disappeared, leaving only the name of the album in the list of Flickr albums in iPhoto.
    The set made from that album is still present on the Flickr website (so far), even after navigating away from the page and coming back. I have no idea what is going on.
    I assumed that Check Now would sync any changes I made to photos in that Flickr set back to the same photos on iPhoto.
    I am worried that Flickr is now going to delete all of those photos entirely from iPhoto (as well as from the Flickr site). That would be a big problem. It hasn't done that so far, but who knows? I understand that the syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is two way - i.e. true syncing.
    When your changes in Flickr sync back to iPhoto, does Flickr change your original in iPhoto (or whatever is serving as your original for Flickr's purposes - that is, the most recently modified version in iPhoto), or is there a separate version created just for uploading to Flickr, that is stored in the Flickr album on iPhoto, and that is the only version that is changed by Flickr when it is syncing back (to iPhoto)? I hope it is the latter. If not, many of us may be in for a surprise.
    Should I delete the empty Flickr album from iPhoto, which should have the effect of deleting that set and its photos from the Flickr website, and start all over? This was a big, long upload, which is why I am hesitating.
    I just started using Flickr yesterday and have had some trouble with it - for example, I've deleted albums/sets and re-uploaded them, for various reasons. Perhaps I've confused the poor thing.
    I have Flickr Pro, if that makes a difference.
    Confused.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The Flickr tool in iPhoto is both pretty neat and pretty frustrating. While I think it is a good start, it still needs work. I probably can not answer most of your questions, but I can clarify a few and offer my own experiences...
    The set made from that album is still present on the Flickr website (so far), even after navigating away from the page and coming back. I have no idea what is going on.
    That is weird. So the Flickr set in iPhoto cleared itself but the actual set on Flickr is still intact, right? Have you tried restarting your computer, going to disk utility and repairing disk permissions on your start up drive, then restarting iPhoto?
    If that doesn't clear it up, you might try rebuilding the iPhoto library by closing iPhoto then restarting while holding down the Option key. Then try some of the rebuild options and see where that gets you.
    I assumed that Check Now would sync any changes I made to photos in that Flickr set back to the same photos on iPhoto.
    The syncing is two ways, but the Flickr sync back to iPhoto is more limited. For example, if you add keywords in Flickr those keywords will be synced back to iPhoto. However if you add a photo from your flickr account into that album, Flickr will send a small version thumbnail back to iPhoto, not the original photo.
    But yes, to answer your question, all syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is more or less a two way sync.
    I am worried that Flickr is now going to delete all of those photos entirely from iPhoto (as well as from the Flickr site). That would be a big problem. It hasn't done that so far, but who knows? I understand that the syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is two way - i.e. true syncing.
    First off, Flickr can never remove anything from your iPhoto library. Perhaps a photo might be removed from a flickr album in your iPhoto, but the photo will still exist in your library. So you can not lose anything from your library using Flickr.
    Second, if the Flickr album in your iPhoto is empty but the photos are still in the album in Flickr, then they will not be removed later. The sync tends to be a real time event where if you remove photos from an iPhoto Flickr album, iPhoto then begins to remove them from Flickr as well.
    My own experience is that sometimes things happen like you experienced, where the iPhoto Flickr album gets "disconnected" from the on-line Flickr album. At this point there is no longer a connection and one doesn't effect the other. I have not found a way to relink the two which is one of the weak points of the new iPhoto Flickr syncing.
    As a side note, a nice feature would be a menu item to actually do that, disconnect iPhoto from an on-line album, as it would be nice to be able to upload an album, then disconnect it so no further changes are made to Flickr regardless of what happens to the iPhoto album. Basically a "do not update" setting.
    When your changes in Flickr sync back to iPhoto, does Flickr change your original in iPhoto (or whatever is serving as your original for Flickr's purposes - that is, the most recently modified version in iPhoto), or is there a separate version created just for uploading to Flickr, that is stored in the Flickr album on iPhoto, and that is the only version that is changed by Flickr when it is syncing back (to iPhoto)? I hope it is the latter. If not, many of us may be in for a surprise.
    To the best of my knowledge, Flickr does not sync back actual changes to the photo itself. It will sync back things like album name changes, title changes, keyword additions, and stuff like that. However I have never actually tried publishing an album to Flick then editing a photo in that album in Flickr to see what it does. I should try that to see. Generally, if I have used iPhoto to publish photos to Flickr, then I use iPhoto to make any edits to the photo, not Flickr.
    Should I delete the empty Flickr album from iPhoto, which should have the effect of deleting that set and its photos from the Flickr website, and start all over? This was a big, long upload, which is why I am hesitating.
    As I mentioned above, if the album in iPhoto is empty but everything is still intact on Flickr, then likely the album in iPhoto was "disconnected" (link lost) from the Flickr album. When you go into that album in iPhoto, does it still show a Flickr link in the upper left? If so, what happens when you click that link? Does it take you to the album?
    I just started using Flickr yesterday and have had some trouble with it - for example, I've deleted albums/sets and re-uploaded them, for various reasons. Perhaps I've confused the poor thing.
    Flickr is pretty good. It is the iPhoto to Flickr interface and syncing that is a bit weak. It sounds like your issues are with iPhoto's syncing with Flickr than with anything to do with Flickr itself.
    I myself use a number of tools with Flickr and I find iPhoto doesn't offer many choices on how it works with Flickr. Actually it doesn't really offer any choices, you get one method of interaction and that is it. So for many tasks I use other tools to get photos onto Flickr.
    That said, if you have a full album/event you want to put on Flickr, the iPhoto interface is very handy for publishing a set on Flickr with keywords, map data, etc. and allows you to edit photos later and have those updates automatically go to Flickr as well. But with that comes some problems like being able to edit a photo in iPhoto for a different purpose, perhaps forgetting you added it to a Flickr album since you are accessing the photo elsewhere in iPhoto than that Flickr set, and then having those edits updated to Flickr without you realizing or intending.

    More info about my question - there is an emanating wave or broadcast signal icon beside each Flickr album name in the iPhoto source menu. It looks a bit like the Airport signal icon along the top bar of the computer screen. When you click on it, the sync symbol appears and goes round and round for awhile. So that is how you manually sync Flickr albums and sets I guess.
    Yes, even if you just click on the set to look at it in iPhoto, you will usually see the little "broadcast" icon indicate it is checking the set against the Flickr set. Usually you see one of several icons. The little broadcast icon like the airport signal simply indicates that the set is synced to a Flickr set but is currently idle. When you click that icon or the set, the icon changes to a circle. A couple of swirling arrows in the circle indicates it is checking online. If there are updates then the circle goes blank and you start to see an advancing pie piece indicating how much of the sync is complete. If the circle just sits there blank for a long time, then the sync has stalled or not working.
    One album has the symbol, and two don't. These are the two I had trouble with today (deleting and re-uploading, etc.)
    The album that has the symbol also has a link at the top of the photos to the page on Flickr containing that photo set.
    The two albums that don't have the symbol do not display a link to the appropriate Flickr page. The corresponding sets are both visible on Flickr, however, as I said.
    Perhaps I should start all over?
    Ah, ok that answers the question I asked above. Sounds like the two albums somehow got de-linked from Flickr. Both sets show up on the left side under the Flickr listings?
    If that is the case, you have a couple of options.
    One is if you are satisfied with the set as it appears over in Flickr and don't really have a need to keep a live link between the two (Flickr and iPhoto) you can probably delete those sets from our of iPhoto's "Flickr" albums and your Flickr sets will stay.
    On the other hand, if you wish to keep a live link to the two albums so you can continue to edit or update the album, keywords, photos, etc. then you probably want to redo those two.
    Unfortunately as I said above, I don't know how to get an album to RE-link back to Flickr once that link has been broken and where it has happened to me I either have removed the set from iPhoto, removed the set and all photos from Flickr (using the Flickr web site tools), then recreating the set in iPhoto and clicking the Flickr upload button again to recreate the whole thing. Or I leave the set on Flickr and continue to work with it directly at Flickr using other tools to add additional photos and doing all my edits on the set or the photos from the Flickr website itself.
    Regards,
    Patrick

    The issue we're running into, is that when a user wants to download a document, the user is presented with the choice of opening or saving the downloaded document. That works OK, but what we'd really like to do is offer the user a chance to edit the downloaded document and then by saving the changes (such as by closing the window in which the downloaded document appears, after making edits), the modified document is "re-uploaded" to the database. What we have to do now is save the download document to the user's PC, then the user has to open the document and modify it, save it, and re-upload it to the database.
    Any ideas on how we can save the users a few steps and upload the document directly after editing? Thanks.

    Then the answer is no. The file needs to be saved down to CS5.5 or exported as IDML from CS6.

  • Changed a webpage with new photos and text, uploaded it to FTP. But when I visit the website, the old version of the page is there instead of the new page.

    I changed one of my webpages, adding pictures with hyperlinks and text. When I preview the website and webpage the changes appear. I upload it with Muse's FTP uploader and everything goes smoothly. But when I visit the website, it displays the old version of the webpage.

    I have the same issue.
    Yes, I use a third party FTP client. I have cleared browser history and cache. Still shows up. I even DELETED the entire site and re-uploaded the new one with the same results. What am I missing? Why does the old page keep showing up? Tried 3 different browser apps and a different computer.

  • Geotagging with iPhoto and Flickr

    Question in a quick and detailed version:
    (quick version: )
    What do you all think is the best way to geotag photos that are already stored in your iPhoto library? If you have a workflow involving iPhoto, geotagging, and possibly uploading to flickr or some sort of image sharing site like that, please post it!
    (detailed version:)
    I recently discovered geotagging, thanks to Flickr adding the new "map" function, whereby you can drag and drop your flickr photos onto a yahoo map. This is great and all, but it only affects the images I have on flickr. . . it does nothing for the EXIF data of my images I have stored in iPhoto.
    Basically, my goal is to not have to do anything twice. I want to be able to geotag my photos once. . . write a caption/description for my photos once, apply iPhoto keywords to the photos once, then upload to flickr and have all the caption and tag (=flickr version of keyword) and geotag data already applied by the time the photo hits the web.
    My current workflow:
    -Import photos from camera directly into iPhoto
    -Make subset album of best photos which I will later upload to flickr
    -In iPhoto, write descriptions and apply keywords to each of those best photos
    -Use the FlickrExport plugin to get those photos onto flickr.
    -Once photos are in flickr, use flickr's "map" function to drag and drop photos to their location.
    Pros of my workflow: Now I have keywords (= tags in flickr) and captions both in iPhoto AND on Flickr, and I only had to apply and write these once.
    Cons: While my flickr photos are now geotagged on the web site, my photos in iPhoto remain locationless.
    I have googled around and learned a bit about applications like Geotagger, which lets you assign lat/lon/altitude information to your photos (jpegs only, I think) using GoogleEarth BEFORE you import the photos into iPhoto. Basically this adds lat/lon/alt values to your photos EXIF data, but you have to do this before importing the photo into iPhoto, because iPhoto only reads the EXIF data into its cache once (when the photo is imported). Hence, if you imported your photos into iPhoto first, and then used Geotagger, the original photo's EXIF data WOULD be updated, but iPhoto would not DISPLAY (or possibly export) that EXIF data properly.
    Ideally, I'd love to geotag my photos after they have already been imported into iPhoto. Geotagging before importing to iPhoto is obviously an option, but it means I have to look at a list of photos in the finder, open them one by one in Preview or something so I know which image it is and where it is, THEN use geotagger to geotag. . . THEN import them to iPhoto. It would be more convenient to do this geotagging after I've already imported the pics into iPhoto and used the nice gui to decide which pics I want to geotag in the first place.
    Also, if I want to go back and geotag photos that I imported into my iPhoto library several years ago, there does not appear to be a way to do that at all without exporting the photo, geotagging, and re-importing it. If I do that, then the newly re-imported and geotagged photo will no longer have the description/caption or keywords that I spent all that time applying some time in the past, and I have extra work on my hands! Ugh. Why doesn't iPhoto support geotagging? This seems like something Apple should have thought of.

    Mike G.:
    Yes, iPhoto has had fields in its "show photo info" windows for lat/lon/alt for a while now. It gets all this photo info from the EXIF data that exists in the jpeg before you import it into iPhoto. This EXIF data is written to your photo file by your digital camera, usually. When you import the photo file into iPhoto, the program reads in the EXIF data (time photo was taken, exposure, f-stop, etc.) and populates the fields in iPhoto's "show photo info" windows.
    Hence, if you already have lat/lon/alt data in the EXIF of your photo file BEFORE you import it into iPhoto, then iPhoto will populate those fields upon import.
    The "bug" in iPhoto, however, is that the EXIF file is never again refreshed after the photo has been imported. That is, if you import a photo, then manually go and and change the EXIF data in that original photo file (not in iPhoto), then the EXIF data will have been changed, but iPhoto won't know about it. It will just show you the cached EXIF info that it grabbed when it first imported the file.
    Hence, if you want iPhoto to show you the lat/lon/alt data, you have to geotag BEFORE you import. OR, if you've already imported a non-geotagged photo, you can export that file, geotag it outside of iPhoto, and then re-import. But then, of course, you have to re-apply all the keywords and caption information to the newly re-imported photo. (pain in the butt!)
    Of course, this is all sort of nitpicky: my only complaint is that iPhoto doesn't SHOW you the lat/lon exif data if you geotag after iPhoto import. But that lat/lon data IS still in the photo file. You can see this by using the iPhoto Flickr plugin to upload your geotagged photo to Flickr: when it shows up in flickr, the photo will have its lat/lon info and be properly placed on the map.
    I just think it would be nice if you could see your geotagged photos lat/lon info in iPhoto without having to go to so much trouble.

  • Aperture and Flickr Export Problems - Missing Files

    I have a MacPro, Aperture 3, and Flickr Pro account. I was planning on using Flickr as an online storage/back-up option for lower-res files. However, whenever I try to upload a project to Flickr files always seem to drop off.
    For example, if I export a project with 446 files in it, when it gets to Flickr it'll say I only have 403 images. Likewise if I try a smaller project (e.g., 426 -> 404).
    Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what is the cause of this problem?
    Also, any way to remove that 500 upload limit per project to Flickr? Flickr itself does not limit the number of photos you can store in a set.
    Thanks!

    Maybe it's related to this bug?

  • JSP that converts office extensions to pdf and then upload them

    Hi there !
    Im trying to convert office extensions ( .xls, .ppt, etc) to pdf and then upload the resulting file to a server .
    currectly im using the upload solution posted by the user anna_DRA here : http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=672874
    and as for the conversion im using a solution which uses OpenOffice's lib to do the conversion.I'm going to post the codes of my JSP and my HTML ( which just contains the form to get the file to be converted and uploaded).
    observation: the point which is giving me headaches is how to get the file sent by my form, convert it into a File object, use my conversion tool and then deliver it to my upload tool so it can be stored.... i cant seem to get the File object from the request object ( tried getattribute and it returns null....) .
    observation':I do know about and how to use MVC but my boss asked me to make this work with just one JSP or a JSP and a HTML.

    Hello TSN,
    Test Screen Name wrote:
    Picking just one point: PDF -> EPS -> PDF. This could not possibly do more than one page, because EPS is absolutely by definition a single page format. Therefore you must choose a page when exporting PDF to EPS.
    Thanks for your response.
    I was thinking Microsoft... which has allowed multi-page eps files for years. But you're correct, this is normally an unsupported .eps format.
    I solved the problem over the weekend by doing the following:
    1) I removed the suspect OTF font family but despite doing so, the folder still had two 'corrupted' but unused copies of an italic font. They refused to remove so I had to boot into Win7 SAFE mode to remove.
    2) After complete removal of the OTF font family. I reinstalled the OTF font *BUT* only from a different repository (oddly, this other OTF font set is slightly larger per font).
    3) Once installed, I tested with Flare, published and uploaded to Crocodoc SUCCESSFULLY. Yeah!
    I don't have anymore time to test but the questions remain, such as, was it one or more of the following issues:
    a) Flare has a problem handling some OTF fonts or cannot error correct (the way other programs do) for marginal fonts or font errors?
    b) Was it the two corrupted fonts in the Windows/fonts folder?
    c) Was it the slightly different OTF fonts that I am no longer using?
    Take care
