Publishing albums to Facebook duplicates events in iPhoto '09

Hello,
I am facing a strange issue, sometimes after publishing an album on facebook I found it duplicated in the Events section of iPhoto (sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few days).
Is anybody else facing the same issue?
Any hints about how to fix it?
My library size is 68Gb, 27577 photos, 622 Events.
Thanks,
Michele

Hi!
when I want to publish on facebook I select the event and then click on the facebook icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. Then it asks me if I want to publish and I click on the "publish" button.
What do you mean by automatically?
In Preferences->Web "Check for new published photos" it is set "Automatically"
In Preferences->Advanced "Look up Places" is set to "Automatically"
I did not find any "automatically" option anywhere else.
Thanks for your help,
Mic

    while cleaning my iPhoto archive
    What do you mean by that?  Do you mean you deleted photos or albums from your iPhoto Library?
    You best solution is to use Time Machine to restore your library from just before you "cleaned your iPhoto archive".

  • Unable to publish album to Facebook (photos shown separately on my wall)

    Each time I publish a new album to Facebook, each picture from that album is displayed like a separate post on my and my friends' wall.
    This is pretty annoying since it floods their wall and my timeline.
    I checked my version of LR4 and it's up to date.
    Any help ?
    Thanks.

    Have you tried making a new MM Gallery and use a different photo and publish? I have had a gallery be corrupt. I would make a new gallery, add one photo you haven't used before and try publishing.
    If you login into mobileme.com and go to the gallery here, do you see anything? In your iDisk the Web folder is in there right? If not, then you will need to contact Apple support.

  • IPhoto deleting albums from Facebook, etc., etc.

    So.  I was trying to upload an album to Facebook.  Now iPhoto is in permanent freakout mode.  It sends me numeros, repeated messages that an album I created on Facebook has been deleted.  And some of the names of these albums are ones which I did send to Facebook but the others are albums i created exclusively for iPhoto.  I can no longer get iPhoto to shut down without force-quitting.
    My Mac knowledge is limited and I need help.  I have a feeling this is the long dreaded system crash about to happen.  Certainly iPhoto seems to be crashing.  It runs slower and slower.
    iMac IOS 10.7.5, iPhoto 11 version 9.4.2

    "permanent freakout mode" is not a condition I've come across.
    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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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.

  • Posting events from iphoto to facebook

    any idea why I can no longer publish my event in iPhoto to Facebook? The publish button is there but I can not select it., any idea why I can no longer publish my event in iPhoto to Facebook? The publish button is there but I can not select it.

    Back up all data.
    Quit the application, if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ShareKitHelper
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop.
    The folder you're moving has a name that begins with "com." It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
    Log out and log back in. Launch the problem application and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
    Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

    Question: Inadvertently a visiting toddler gained access to my computer during a visit. He's obviously fiddled with something as I can no longer use my arrow keys to navigate through my albums or events on iPhoto. Only one pic shows up in the album view - I can't see any thumbnails. To see the other pics I have to use the scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. Please help!

    Depeding on your version of iPhoto: On the left (iPhoto 11) or right (earlier versions) of the lower frame of the iPhoto Window you'll see a slider. Drag it left.

    I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.  
    "Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
    The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
    What do they mean by published albums?  I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
    I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
    Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
    Confused and frustrated...

    Give this a try:  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

  • How do I upload an album to Facebook if the "Publish" Button is continually greyed out?

    I have created 2 new albums from a recent trip.  The pictures are all edited and ready to be uploaded to Facebook, but when I push the Facebook button, the "Publish" button in the dialog is continually greyed out and I can't publish.  Earlier this evening, I published an album from my MacBook with no trouble, but the pictures I want to publish now have all been edited and put in albums on my iMac. 
    Also, I checked several earlier published albums on this iMac and they show an error message indicating that there may be something wrong with my login.  I am logged in and don't know how to fix the problem. 

    Solved problem.  Go to menu-file-export.  Click on Facebook tab.  Login and it's pretty intuitive from there.

  • How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events?

    How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events?  I tried to Export the Albums but just transferred the files individually.

    If you want to maintain the iPhoto organisation then back up the iPhoto Library.
    If you want to export to the Finder, well you need to create a folder for the contents of an Album and expot to that.
    If you have an older version of iPhoto: Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events. This feature is built in to iPhoto 11.
    This User Tip

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

  • Iphoto albums on Facebook

    I've uploaded a bunch of photo albums to Facebook using Iphoto, and everything worked fine.
    However now I'm cleaning out my laptop and backing everything up, and would like to delete a lot of the pictures from my harddrive. I've noticed that if I do so, the pictures will also be deleted from Iphoto and in turn from my albums on Facebook.
    Is there any way to make the albums I've posted on facebook through Iphoto permanent?

    Not if you upload them using iphoto - as advertised iPhoto and Facebook stay in sync - if you do not want that do not use iPhoto to upload - use the face book uploader or just a standard web upload

  • Copying photo albums from facebook to iphoto?!

    You cannot import web based photo albums into iPhoto.

  • Where are deleted iPhoto albums from facebook on a Mac?

    I uploaded 4 pics from my cousin Mac onto my facebok account, whyle doing so I sinc my fc account to iPhoto, all was just fine up to when my cousin deleted my albums from iPhoto  deleting this way all of my 93 albums on facebook too. Would anybody know if my albums are recoverable from somewhere on his Mac, he had a look but only found the covers i.e. one pic for each album?

    Problem solved.
    I played with it some more and discovered that it was, indeed, passing the variable to the AppleScript script that was the problem.  I was using "on run argv", which I read on some site earlier today as being how AppleScript handles arguments that are passed to it.  More recently, however, I discovered that JavaScript uses an array pre-defined as "arguments" whenever AppleScript passes a variable to it.  So, on a lark, I decided to try using "arguments" the other way 'round (I also had to add an extra set of quote marks on the "do script" line because AppleScript seems to save strings to variables without them:
    set unlockedFile to item 1 of arguments
    tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
              do script ("unlockCover(\"" & unlockedFile & "\");")
    end tell
    And that did it!  I can now pass a variable all the way from the top-level JavaScript/ExtendScript InDesign code to the bottom-level JavaScript Acrobat code!  YAY!

  • Importing iPhoto Back Up from DVD - Duplicate Event Issue

    i'm trying to transfer the iphoto back ups (created in iPhoto) from DVD to my external hard drive. with the disc in, i create a new iphoto library, name it and import the "iPhoto Library" file from the DVD on to my laptop's hard drive. When i do so, it imports over 3,000 photos, whereas it should only be 2,623. when the import is done, i have duplicate events; it looks as though the events are the original and modified versions.
    i don't want to have to reorganize my photos after importing them back in (there are 11 ). am i missing something?

    doesn't keep the name, but dragging them one by one keeps them separate. guess that's not too bad; at least not as tedious as having to weed through all the photos.
    is there some kind of automator i can use?
    why don't the events transfer over? this particular back up is Jan. 2009 thru Jun. 2009. I bought iLife '09 in April. could it be because half the photos were organized with a previous version of iPhoto?
    Thanks for your help btw. i really appreciate it.
