Problem publishing collections to Flickr

Hi -
I'm experiencing a problem when publishing a Collection to Flickr. It appears to be a super simple process, but for some reason it's not working.
Here's what's happening:
I created and saved a collection.
I click on the Collection and then highlight all the images. (91 in total).
Per the Flickr publish instructions, I then try to drag the selected photos to my Flickr photostream in the Publish Services panel.
But nothing happens..in fact, it appears that I'm no even able to move the selected photos (maybe I'm doing that wrong!) As soon as I unclick the mouse only one image is selected...
The Flickr Publish Service panel seems to be set up; I see my Flickr screen name and there's an icon for my Photostream showing 0 images.
Any insight is appreciated!
Cheers
Bill

Here is my workflow:
Select the images.
Rightclick on Flickr under Publishing Services.
Select Create Photoset from the contextual menu.
Name the photoset.
Make sure Include selected photos is checked (it is by default).
Click on the Create button.
Click on the Publish button (upper right of the main screen, just under the Module menubar).
That's it. No need to drag and drop anything, so long as you select the images ahead of time.

Problems publishing to Facebook and Flickr

I have been happily publishing collections to Flickr and Facebook since lightroom 3 came out and recently they have both stopped working. I think the problems happened after I changed the structure of some of my keywords.
From memory, I had two keywords "baby" and "baby photos" and wanted to merge them. I selected all photos with keyword "baby photos" and dragged them to the "baby" keyword and then deleted "baby photos" from the keyword list.
Now I get the follwoing problems
Facebook
I get "failed to retrieve item info" error
It seems to always add the first photo on the list to Facebook, despite of the error. And it does it multiple times (multiple copies in Facebook) if I try to publish multiple times...
Flickr
"An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field '_dataChanges' (a nil value)" error
Same situation as facebook, first photo is published but not the rest, photos remain in "New Photos to Publish"
I have commented on two individual posts by people who were having similar problems but I thought it may help if I explained that I was having problems with both Flickr and Facebook and how, I think, the error came about.
Should I report this as a bug?
Any ideas for a work around?
Thank you

I have had the same problem the last three days. I have
not found an answer yet
I get "could not get album info from facebook" on any picture I try to upload from the publish button.
I can upload a picture on my hard drive from facebook.
When I try to use the publish button it looks like Lightroom is starting ok.
No idea where the problem lies.

Broken publish service for Flickr

Hi,
I tried to publish a set of photos on Flickr when something went wrong in LR 4.1 (on Win 7-64). 3 shots were uploaded successfully when LR suddently claimed that: "Can't upload this collection. Could not connect to the Flickr web service. Please check your internet connection." My Interent connection is fine and I can browse Flickr normally. I can also go into the publish service and re-authenticate my Flickr-account successfully. But the problem persists. I can create a new publish service for Flickr and that one works fine.
So the settings for my first Flickr publish service seems to be broken somehow.
1. Does someone know how to fix the broken publish service?
2. Is there a way to move my shots in the broken publish service to the new one without breaking the link between the shot and the copy on Flickr?
Thanks,
Mike

It's a bug http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_4_1_rc2_a_cr_or_lf_n_the_m iddle_of_a_caption_causes_failure_to_connect_to_flickr
You can vote to force adobe to resolv it.
Maybe yoy have a cariage return in caption.

Publishing service, missing published collection

I have the basics of a publishing service going, uploading images to an online gallery. Works fine apart from after I publish the 2 images in the 'New Photos to Publish' collection they're not being moved into a 'Published Photos' collection. One doesn't exist.
I'm relatively new to both lua and the LR SDK so it's extremely likely I'm missing the blindingly obvious but I can't find anything that sticks out in either the documentation or the Flickr example code. Is this something that Lightroom takes care of for me or is it something I have to handle myself. If the latter, are there any specific methods or is it just a case of making the collections and shifting stuff around. Any advice or thoughts appreciated.
Many thanks, in advance.
Henry.

Got it. missing exportRendition:recordPublishedPhotoId( publishedId ) call on successful publish.
All fine and dandy now.

Some photos will not add to my SmugMug Publish Collection

Two days ago I upgraded to Lightroom 3 and I'm having trouble adding some files to a SmugMug Publish Collection. I cant figure out why some photos will add to the collection and some won't. I don't get an error message, I don't get any idication as to why some files will add and others will not. I have tried to drag them to the publish section a single photo at a time and in a group.
Any suggestions!??!?

Sorry for the troubles with the LR3 uploader. Have you read through our help page on LR3? Check out the link below, it's possible that you are missing a step. If you can't figure it out there then feel free to email us at our help desk and one of our friendly support heroes will be happy to help solve the problem.

Publishing Images to Flickr

I'm having trouble publishing images to Flickr using the built-in Flickr button. For some reason only the original image is being uploaded. For example I took a photo that was crooked and needed white-balance adjustment. I straightened and adjusted the WB then dragged the image into my Flickr album. When I go to the Flickr site, the photo is the original photo; crooked and yellowish. I tried deleting it from Flickr and uploading it again and still the original photo shows up on Flickr's site! It's especially frustrating since this uploading is eating away at my Flickr 100 MB photo limit and I can't experiment too much.
Is anyone else having this problem or have a solution?

Not sure why they are there but the Publish services e.g. uploading to Flickr, SmugMug etc. does not create any new files on your hard drive.

Problems publishing to iweb

I just want to thank everyone who post on here as your advice really does help.
I had problems publishing to iweb and the following suggestions made by you all helped me overcome the difficulties I was having. I am posting this so that others who may be having the same problems as I was may sort their iweb out too!
Obviously not all of these will help everyone and some people may disagree with what I have said but (touch wood) these ALL sorted out my iweb
1. Empty your cache frequently.
2. Do not use web counter/email me buttons
3. rename your photos so that you are not using !@£$%^&*()_
4. keep trying
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) http://web.mac.com/gillianward/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html

No, its not strange at all. When you set up a MobileMe account and publish a site from iWeb it publishes to your iDisk, which is your Apple server that host your site.
Your url for an iWeb published site to MobileMe will be http://web.me.com/username/sitename. You don't actually need the sitename if you only have one site, so as OT has said http://web.me.com/username.
No - reggie88.com is not your username, this is a domain name. www.reggie88.com is a domain name also, not a MobileMe username. Have you actually gone to a domain name registrar and registered a domain name? If you want to use a domain name with MobileMe, then you need to go and purchase one first from a domain name registrar.
No - iWeb does not tell you in iWeb that you username is www.reggie.com. The only way that iWeb will have this at the bottom, is if you have logged into your MobileMe account and gone to the Personal Domain name settings section and entered a personal domain into here. Log into your MobileMe account and check whether you have done this - this is the only reason why iWeb will display this.
Next question, do you actually own or have you purchased a domain name - reggie88.com? If you have, then you can use this domain with a MobileMe account, but there are other steps that you need to go through first to link the two.
In the meantime, find your site by entering the url http://web.me.com/username which in your case is probably going to be http://web.me.com/reggie88 and you should get to your site.

Lightroom 4 won't update Published collections to Smugmug

When I go to Publish photo's to Smugmug, it gives me this error:
An internal error has occurred:html passed to JSON:decode0:<html><body><h1>400 Bad request</h1>
Your browser sent an invalid request </body></html>
I haven't had any problems publishing to Smugmug until now.
Are there any fixes out there for this error?

Hi mikey,
LR never writes to original files, and it does not do sidecars for videos.
So in order to view your LR adjustments outside LR you need to use a format which LR can write to, like H264.

What does "Edit Published Collection" do?

If I right-click on a published collection there is a command "Edit Published Collection". In the dialog box that comes up it seems the only thing I can do is rename but there is already a rename in the right-click menu. Hitting EDIT in the dialog seems to do NOTHING. What am I missing on the use of this command. There doesn't seem to be any info on this in a google search.

It completely depends on the plugin that lies behind that published service, Bob. The usual thing would be to code the plugin so that menu option opens a dialog box with settings related to that service.
For instance, imagine the plugin is uploading shoots to a print service. Edit may produce a dialog which gets info from the service (eg standard prices) and allows you to add your profit margin or uplift. When you close the dialog that information is stored in the catalogue and sent to the service.
So Edit can do all sorts of things and it's not surprising that Google might not provide any obvious answer.

Problem Publishing Handouts to Word 2003

I am having a problem publishing from Adobe Captivate 4 to Word 2003. I have followed all steps to create the file:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
Select File > Publish.
In the Publish dialog box, select Print.
In Project Title, enter the desired name without the filename extension (.doc).
In Folder, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the folder.
Select an Export range. The export range is made up of the slides that you want to export to Word. You can select all slides, the current slide, a selection, or a range of slides.
In Type, select Handouts.
Select from the following Handout Layout options: Use Tables In The Output, Slides Per Page, Caption Text, Add Blank Lines For Notes, etc.
When you finish, click Publish.
The problem occurs when I open the Word doc--all slide notes and info is there, but the images themselves are not in the Word doc. I have tried publishing as a storyboard, lesson, handout and step by step--the issue occurs in all scenarios.
Thank you!

Hello
Perhaps you already checked it, but I did not read it in your posting: in the Handout Layout Options, did you activate 'Include objects and Question slides'? Those objects are all the 'graphical' things like images, the captions (not the text in the captions), the drawings...

Problem with Collective billing

Hi,
I have problem doing collective billing for one of my sales order that consist of 2 item, one is a TAN and the other is a TAS. Because of the different business process, i have to combine the billing of a delivery note (for the TAN item) and the sales order (for the TAS item) into one invoice. However when i do so, i end up with 2 invoices. Pls advise.
Just wondering if the BlCat is different, can the invoice be combine?

Hi,
Invoice split will happen if you have any of the following values are different.
1.Payer
2. Inco Terms
3. Payment Terms
4. Shipping Condition
5.Country
6.Transportation Group
7. Exchange Rate
Click on the Split analysis.You will come to know why the splitting is happening.
The procedure for this split analysis is:
Goto the T.Code "VF02".
Enter the number of the first billing document that you want to compare. Click on Environment --> Split analysis.
Enter the number of the second billing document which you want to compare to the first in the dialog box given.
Click on "Continue".
The system displays the Billing document split analysis log.

Problem publishing my iWeb site to new server

I have a problem publishing my site to a new server HostGator.
I click publish, everything continues normally, then I get an ERROR notice:
Publish Error
There was an error communicating with the FTP server.
Try again later, or check with your service provider
Since I changed the settings for the new server all the iWeb pages symbols go pink every time I close and reopen iWeb. Once I have tried to publish and get the ERROR notice I see that most of the pages have turned blue (suggesting they have been correctly published) and the same 5 pages remain pink (suggesting they have not been published) I have used the HostGator link
http://gator694.hostgator.com/~carouge1/carouge-art/Welcome.html
to look at the uploaded pages.
All the pages are on their server file BUT the pages which remain pink on iWeb have problems. These problems (missing photos etc.) don't seem to affect the pages when the site is called up normally. The site is apparently still being uploaded to people’s computers through MobileMe eventhough I have changed the server settings! So I’m assuming the page problems will show up after MobileMe stops at the end of this month? I cannot find an explanation for the failed pages from HostGator or from the Apple online answers.
Grateful for any advice.

I am having a similar problem trying to upload from iWeb through FTP to MacHighway web hosting.
I am using iWeb 3.0.4, the latest version.
I have followed the instructions on the MacHighway site: https://customers.machighway.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=10
When I type "public_html" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
Testing failed.
The directory/path couldn't be found. Verify your settings and try again.
When I type "/public_html" or /public_html/" into Directory/Path window in iWeb I get the following message:
Testing failed.
A connection to mel.machighway.com couldn't be established. Verify your settings and try again.
Unlike carougeart, however, nothing gets uploaded.

I'm having problems publishing my videos to You Tube

I'm having problems publishing my videos to You Tube, I keep getting the error message: 'Login failed. Specify the correct username and password, and try again.
I have tripled checked my username and password, so I know I'm entering them correctly.

Never mind I found the problem. I had Firewall set to Specific Applications instead of Allow All Incoming Traffic.

Lightroom 4.1 still fails to publish to my Flickr account

When I try to publish images to my flickr account with LR 4.1 (final, released 30th May) it fails.
When updating my top level photostream the message is:
     Can’t update this collection.
     An internal error has occurred: Invalid at the top level of the document.
When updating a flickr set made from a Smart Collection:
     Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your Internet connection.
The publish service in LR that is failing was created in under LR3 and upgraded as upgrades came out.
I have successfully re-authorized lightroom against Flickr.
A newly created publish service to the same Flickr account works (at least for one test image).
Any ideas? Do I have to start again with a new service in LR?
Lightroom 4.1 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit.
Russell

This is appalling and, as Stéphane had pointed out, I have previously reported it against the release candidate.
It would be appreciated if you can confirm that this is the cause of the error simply to add more substance to the observation and it would also be appreciated if you could add your vote against the problem report in the link above.
Note I think if you are publishing or republishing a bunch of photos it is not necessarily the first in the thumbnail grid that causes the error.
Alan.
PS - Edit ... whoops, we crossed in the post - still worth adding you vote though if you want it fixed.
