N8 and Flickr

WOW - the N8 is already 6th in the list of most used Nokia phones on Flickr -  and is 3rd for most photos posted last month - only the great N95 (1st and dropping sharply) and the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (2nd and losing a little but slowly) are above it, while the N8 has a steady upcurve.  Before long I suspect the N8 will be the top Nokia camera on Flickr - good news for the N8.
My current phone - Samsung Galaxy Note

Interesting, thanks for posting.
Since I moved to the N8 late last year I started to use Flickr in earnest as Ovi Share just doesn't hack it and Flickr has better Facebook integration etc

  • Facebook and Flickr with Aperture on Macbook Pro

    I have set up both a Facebook and Flickr account in Aperture.  They work great and like how easy they are to use.  I do have a problem though.
    After using my Macbook, I close the screen and leave it.  When I come back and open the screen, sometimes Aperture gives me an error that says:
    There was a problem connecting to Facebook.
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -1.)
    After clearing the message it comes back in an endless loop.  Am I doing something wrong?  Should I exit Aperture before closing the screen evertime?  How can I clear this error without killing the application?
    Thanks.

    This is not much help, but I don't think it's an infinitely loop. I suspect the number of times you get the message is related to the number of flickr sets you have in Aperture. If you are patient, and click the OK button enough times, it will go away.
    I really don't like force quitting - especially Aperture. I have always been able to "outlast" Aperture by clicking the OK button enough times.

  • 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?

  • My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at low resolution. The camera on my phone works fine, but any web related photo content is now pixelated and low res, what's the deal?

    My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at a low resolution. I have IOS 7.0.4. My phone camera works fine, but any web based photo content from Safari, Yahoo images, Google images, and Flickr all come in pixelated and low res. What's the deal?

    It happened to me but later I figured out that cellular signal was not that great and so the Internet was very slow. It took me about 2 minutes to get the full resolution picuture on either of the app you've described. Try to get faster internet either by wifi or good signal and then check.

  • Facebook, Twitter and Flickr sharing option removal

    Good morning,
    I just bought a brand new Iphone 5S with Ios 7.05 on board.
    I have seen that when you click share on something (like a photos) you have the option to share with social application like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.
    Now I don't have these app installed and I don't have any account with them.
    How I can remove the sharing option?
    Thanks
    Regards

    Thanks for the answer.
    I think is not very fair to link external application like this.
    An Os generally speaking should be free of external application, or at least, the user should be able to delete them and their presence.
    I am not also really sure that this is compliant with some laws in some countries. I remember Google had similar issue with some application on their phone.
    Anyway this is only to share ideas, I guess I will take your suggestion :-)
    Regards

  • Aperture 3 and Flickr sync problems

    Hi!
    I started using Aperture 3 recently and made the mistake of authorizing Aperture to sync with Flickr.  I hate it!  Now I want to deauthorize it somehow but don't know where or how?  I've read horror stories that all of my Flickr photos will be deleted from Flickr if I deauthorize, but none of my Flickr photos were uploaded from Aperture, they were already in Flickr and were automatically synced to Aperture once I authorized it.  Now that I realize I've made a mistake I want to get out, but how?
    TIA!
    Debbie

    I have been using the sync feature between my Aperture library and Facebook and Flickr for 6 months and I finally gave up on it yesterday.
    As an example of what I usually go through, I uploaded 159 photos to my flickr account this past weekend, then added some captions/descriptions/tags etc. on flickr (was that a mistake?). Then Aperture promptly undid some my work at the next synchonization... I don't want photos on my stream named DSC_6788.jpg, etc.  Thing is, Aperture undoes some of what I do on Flickr but not all.  There's no rhyme, reason, or pattern to it.  If I use Aperture to add tags (by entering keywords in the right field), even those partially disappear after the next sync.
    Another maddening thing is that it makes the filename the caption on Facebook albums.  I/e/. if, on Facebook, I added a desctiptive caption on a picture such as "Mommy and Daddy making out under the Eiffel Tower" (totally a made up example), then next time a synch happens, the caption would be "DSC_8646.jpg."  Gee, thanks for the help, Aperture.
    For 6 months I have lived in fear of opening up Aperture.  Will the sync mess up what I've published online?
    There should be option to not have Aperture override what you do on flickr (and Facebook).  I am a strong believer in the "Publish and Forget" model for places like Flickr and Facebook, not the sync model.
    For now, it's back to export to a folder and upload via the uploader.

  • Sharing photos on Facebook and Flickr

    Hello. I'm a little concerned that photos I publish to Facebook and Flickr will be removed from these respective sites if they are inadvertently deleted from within IPhoto. What would happen if I reinstall OSX and start from scratch without restoring anything from TimeMachine? Would the two sites replicate with the new install, and then remove photos because they're not in IPhoto? Please advise before I invest a lot of time in using this new feature. Thanks in advance.

    But won't they be removed if you then sync a new Library with FaceBook?
    I don't think so because the new library isn't the old library. In other words, unless you specifically are able to relink an album in iPhoto to a set in Flickr (and I assume the same is true for Facebook), iPhoto would have no way of knowing those photos are on Flickr (or Facebook). Even with the same names I doubt it will link up with the online versions. At least with the Flickr sets, iPhoto keeps a direct link to the set.
    For example...
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/pakphotog/sets/72157617564040837/
    would be a set link. And you would have to somehow reassociate that link in iPhoto.
    In my own experience in Flickr (I don't use Facebook), I have had uploads of set out of iPhoto go wrong where for whatever reason the upload stalls and you have to cancel out. Any photos that did make it to Flickr are orphaned by iPhoto and a Flickr set isn't created in iPhoto. If you then retry the album to flickr, it will reupload the same photos again since it doesn't know they are already there.
    I have found that to be a rather frustrating problem with iPhoto and Flickr. I would love for iPhoto to have a way to upload to Flickr and NOT manage where they are in flickr including the ability to leave them in Flickr but not iPhoto.
    For this reason I have been using FlickrExport for iPhoto, a third party plug in...
    http://connectedflow.com/flickrexport/
    which allows you to do things like upload from iPhoto to existing Flickr sets or several different sets among other things. My only complain with that plug in is that it appears to disable iPhotos built in Flickr uploader which I still like to use as well (useful for uploading new full albums going into the same set). So the unfortunately work around seems to be to move the plug in out of the iPhoto folders and relauch to use built in flickr upload then put back and relaunch to use the plug in.

  • 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.

    Sorry there no way to get rid of them, those came built in with the IOS.
    There is no reminder on your phone only way is if you go to settings and see them.
    Whether you like the brand or not, it's not hurting you in any way.
    if you don't like suggest you get a different phone maybe an Android phone.

  • NodeBox mashup with Kuler and Flickr

    Hi all, I recently came across NodeBox, a generative art tool
    for Macs... They have a number of great functions already in the
    tool, and a very impressive set of 3rd party libraries, Kuler and
    Flickr included... so in a very lines of code I was able to create
    compositions like this one:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/chadudell/2248119376/in/set-72157602761278378/
    Anyway, check out the rest of the set and then try out this
    code in NodeBox...
    size(500,500);
    web = ximport("web")
    # the search string, yo!
    q = "knife"
    images = web.flickr.search(q, start=1, count=100,
    cached=True)
    images.sort() # sort images according to times viewed
    for img in images:

    text(themes[0].author, 10, 420)
    text(themes[0].label, 10, 440)
    #i modify the width of the them rendered to match the photo,
    wasn't able to do something like image.width for some reason
    themes[0].draw(0, 300, w=90, h=100)

    Sami, thanks for the kinda words... I'm not sure if NodeBox

  • Share Extensions (Mail, Messages, and Flickr) Not Showing

    The ShareKit extensions for Mail, Messages and Flickr are not showing in the Share Menu, or the Extensions System Preference. Everything else is fine.

    A better way than Import would've been to use Migration Assistant, which you still can.

  • 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.  

  • Can someone help me with a problem I have publishing photos to Facebook and Flickr

    I am using LR4.4 on my HP laptop (Windows 7 Home premium) with Mozilla Firefox as my default browser. I was able to publish some photos from LR to my Facebook account early in October. I have some new photos to publish, but find I now can no longer publish to Facebook.  I get a message – “Facebook authentication check failed”. I have tried to reset up publishing to Facebook within LR, but when I click on the Authorize in Facebook, I get a Firefox Error Message:  “The address wasn't understood Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (lightroom) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context. You might need to install other software to open this address.”  I have tried using IE as the default browser, but I get the following Internet Explorer Error Message:  “The webpage cannot be displayed. Most Likely Cause:  Some content or files on this webpage require a program that you don't have installed.”  From the Adobe website (helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/errors-occur-using-lightrooms-publish.html) I have unsuccessfully tried all 5 solutions to resolve this issue.
    Other steps I have tried - I have removed the LR app from Facebook, then attempted to Authorize from LR. I can get through 3 steps in Facebook (request for Public Profile, accept Posting to Facebook, and accept managing FB pages), but the final step again fails.  In Lightroom, after the authentication step fails, I note that the “Failed to receive authentication token” is highlighted blue. When I click on this, a popup appears (see below). I had found a suggestion that this should be changed (I can’t recall what the alternative url was – but part of it was …”export.facebook”…) but I’m not sure where this change should be made. I attempted to paste the new link into this field, but this didn’t seem to work either.        
    I have also tried to set up publishing of photos to my Flickr account. I go to the LR setup, which directs me to my Flickr account, and click on the authorize button. But again I get the same error message!  I am just about at the end of my knowledge / ability to solve my Publishing problem. I would really appreciate you help and advice with this issue. Can you please help me?

  • Lightroom and Flickr ID feature gap

    I'm confounded by Lightroom and its plug-ins' lack of support for Flickr's photo-ID.
    Flickr photo-ID is a unique 10, 11, or 12 digit number assigned to a photo when it is uploaded to their site.
    The number is used in Flickr URLs and by 3rd parties like wikipedia and wikimedia   http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=233397357&size=o  and Apple's Aperture Flickr ID meta data field.    ( The id=233397357 is the Flickr photo Id number.)
    Why is this useful?  Just type that ID number into a Google search, don't include the word Flickr or ID, you will see that Flickr ID is referenced by at least ten different websites that Google searches!  Wouldn't that ID be useful information to have in your Lightroom metadata?
    The schemes used by Lightroom plugin developers seem to rely on things in the file names or metadata that can change, (creation date, upload date, filename) When contacted, the LR plugin developers say they can't do something that Apple and the Aperture plug-in developers have been doing for years. Admittedly, it's not an IPTC defined field, but we have plenty of custom fields to use.
    The Flickr photo-ID doesn't change if you change filename, caption, add keywords or comments, sync metadata, or do any post processing (including cropping) - other than replacing the file from your desktop.  Which seems to me to be safe so that, for example, a URL pointing to the picture above by the Wikipedia article, doesn't suddenly find a pornographic picture there.
    Jay

    Have you tried the third-party Export to Flickr plugin, which has many more features than the Flickr publish service built-in to LR?  It provides the Flickr URL via the "At Flickr" metadata field, which you can access via LR's Metadata panel, with the metadata set All Plug-in Metadata.   The URL contains the Flickr ID.

    Try doing a repair of your LR installtion.  This happened to my on LR5 and this solved it.  Somehow a bit of information which tells the browser how to handle the lightroom: handler gets lost.  A repair restores it.  You may need to have your LR install disc handy.
