Photos rotating when uploading from iPhoto to Facebook.

This is driving me crazy! In my iPhoto library my photos are portrait (how I want them) but when I highlight and drag them to Facebook to be part of a post some of the pictures rotate sideways.
Could someone please!!! help me with this.
Thankyou in advance.

Have you tried to use the "Share" command instead of dragging to the Facebook album? My "Portrait" photos are showing correctly upright when I use the "Share" button in the footer if the iPhoto window.

Photos missing when syncing from iPhoto to iPod touch 3G

OK, I'm trying to upload photos from iPhoto to my G3 iPod Touch. They're in a specific album within a folder. There are 84 pictures in the album, but only 32 are uploading. Anyone know why?

Nope, not by a long shot.
Actually, I figured it out... I separated the photos by which uploaded & which didn't... and discovered the photos need to have their extension showing! Whew! It took a lot of work to fix the mistake, but I've got it all sorted out now.

Photo size when uploaded from camera

I have been trying to order prints off of snapfish, and keep getting the resolution warning on every single picture. I have a Canon Powershot camera and have adjusted it so that it is on the highest resolution, so I think the problem comes from uploading to iPhoto. According to snapfish, 4x6 photos need to be 540x360 pixels and all of my pictures seem to be 270x360 pixels. Can I fix this?

1. Where are you getting these measurements from? These 270 x 360 sound like the thumnails that iPhoto creates for display in the iPhoto Window.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
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. Again, producing a copy.
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.

Signature photo broken when emailing from iPhoto

I have a photo above my name in my default signature in Mail. When I click the Email" button in iPhoto to send photos via email, my signature photo shows up as and icon that reads "Untitled (82kb)".
The photo in my signature works FINE if I create a new email, but not in the new emails that iPhoto creates with the pictures attached.
I added the photo to the signature field in Mail's preferences by dragging and dropping the .JPG file from the Finder. That, and copying and pasting seems to be the only way to put a photo in a signature. Neither method works when initiating an email from iPhoto.
Mail 2.1
iphoto 5.0.4
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks!

Marius,
set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Email Photos using: Mail
This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.

Why are the photos rotated when transfered from iPhone to PC??

I cant figure out why my photos, taken with my iPhone, come out rotated when I transfer them to my PC. Its not the biggest deal in the world, but it is really getting to me... Just one of those things i cant figure out how to fix... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A really easy fix in Windows XP, which I think will work fine in Vista if you can get to the right place. Open File Manager (my computer) and go to the folder with the photos, choose the thumbnail view, select and right click on photo files that are rotated sideways, you will see a rotate option on the right click menu - select it and the photos will rotate & sync correctly next time with a slight letterbox effect on your iphone. You may want to copy the folder first as the rotated photos will be clipped if you view them full screen on the PC.

All photos disappeared when upgrading from iPhoto 4 to Photo 8.

Yesterday I bought a new MBP 2.5 GHz 15" to substitute my older laptop, an iBook G4 12". In that iBook I used the original iLife package bundled, including the iPhoto 4. All my pictures were stored in an external hard drive, into an iPhoto Library folder.
I used Migration Assistant to transfer all my data from that iBook to my new MBP, through Firewire. Everything went nice except for few programs that weren't universal which I'm still fixing.
When opening the new iPhoto in this MBP, it asked for the iPhoto Library Folder, and I indicated the old folder located at my external hard drive. After selecting it, appeared a dialog box saying that the new iPhoto Library folder wouldn't be readable in older iPhoto versions, and I selected ok. Than it created all my albums inside nicely but to my surprise (and despair) all my pictures were gone. To make things worse, I don't have backup of those hi-res, only the ones formated to my iPhone that I already recovered from it.
I don't know what to do, and I'm desperate since invaluable data from years worth are simply gone because of a stupid upgrade that Apple made. I can't understand how Apple didn't make and option to duplicate the iPhoto folder or ask if I wanted to backup it before upgrading if there was such a risk.
Since this happened I tried to recover the data using Data Rescue II, and I haven't cleaned the trash yet, but I can't find the files. If someone could please give me a suggestion I would really appreciate it.

Migration Assistant is known for not handling iPhoto libraries very well. I suggest you copy the old library again but this time manually and put it in the Pictures folder. Thendownload and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name in the owner section and Staff in the group section. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
After that's complete open iPhoto and let it convert the library again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My MacBook froze whilst uploading photos from iPhoto to Facebook and now the album is empty. Any way to find my lost snaps?

I Was trying to upload photos, in an album, from iPhoto to Facebook on my MacBook. It crashed and I had to do a hard reboot. When I we t back into iPhoto my oictures had gone. Is there any way to find them.

Do you have a back up?
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

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

The window doesn't automatically pop up now. When you plug the card reader in, you should see a 4th option on the lower bar of the photos app. I think it says camera. Tap on that then you can see and inport your photos.
If you are still having issues, try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. It won't hurt any data but can clear gliches.

Is it too big ? what can be the issue ?
What happens when you try to upload the album? Are there any error messages?
Which iPhoto version are you using?
Are you ordering from the correct Print Products Store for your country? Check the settings in iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced:

Since I updated to 10.9 I am not able to upload photos from iphoto (v.8.1.2) to facebook. When I try to upload the "publish" button is not highlighted so I can not click on it. I used to be able to upload from iphoto all the time. Is there some setting that I have to change?

Upload directly from iPhoto. Select your photos and then select Share. iPhoto questions are best handled in the iPhoto forum of all places.

Have you added your Facebook account in the "iPhoto Preferences > Accounts? If yes, try to add it again.

Uploading selected photos from iPhoto to Facebook

When I upload selected photos from iPhoto to Facebook, recently the entire album is uploaded even though I only select a few photos. This is a new issue - in the past, if I select a few photos and upload to FB, only the selected pictures upload. Now, it's the whole album. Is it Facebook or iPhoto? Is it Timeline or iCloud? It's driving me crazy.

Have this problem too with Lightroom! The sudden spike in views for this post would suggest that it's only a recent thing. Have you notified Facebook of this?

When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?

When I 'share' photos from iPhoto to Facebook they don't appear on the Facebook newsfeed?
The only way I can get them to appear on the Facebook newsfeed is to 'share' the album within Facebook. Does anyone know why iPhoto only puts the photos on my profile wall and not for people to view in the newsfeed?

I'm having the same problem and I end up having to just post it the old fashioned way. Has anyone figured this out as they appear on my wall but not in my newsfeed???
