Publishing to facebook

I am trying to get the connection set up with facebook and have allowed lightroom to publish there.
Back in lightroom the publishing manager is then telling me it is authorizing and that is were it stays and hangs fore ever.
In my face book app account it tells me that lightroom still requires access to my basic info and still requires access to my photos, but since in lightroom the publishing manager is still trying to authorize my facebook nothing happens. I can't even cancel out of it as lightroom is frozen and that happens every time and I need to forcequit out of lightroom.
Anybody with any solution please.
Many thanks

Try:
- Logging out of FB in the browser first, so that the OAUTH or whatever it uses forces you to login again. It might automatically log you in anyway, but it is worth a try.
- Changing your default web browser to some other browser, ideally one you have never used on FB before (so credentials are not cached.) How you do this is platform specific, but is documented everywhere.
- Install Friedl's FB publish service (http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/facebook), which is minimal donation-ware. It has a little more capability and may be smarter about authentication tokens. You can try it for free, so that costs you nothing.

  • Lightroom 4 Publishing to Facebook

    When I attempt to publish to facebook I get the message: Lightroom is unable to create temporary files on the Volume named "Local Disk (C:)? OS is Win 7, 64 bit! 1 Terebyte disk with over 700 gigs free!

    Hi...Mine is fixed by right-clicking on the Lightroom icon.  In Properties,
    I set the program to run as "administrator", giving it permisisions to
    write the files to the disk.  Once that was done, it uploaded to Flickr
    with no problems.  Of course, I only tested 1 photo.  I've heard it's
    REALLY slow.
    Running an application like Lightroom as Administrator is ill-advised because you are now allowing Lightroom and all of its plugins (3rd party or otherwise) to do *anything* to your system, whether you know it or not. The broken exporting and writing to temporary files just started happening recently.  It could be something to do with the latest Windows update, or a bug in Lightroom that Adobe now has to fix because of a change to the OS.
    Changing the permissions on the folder where temp files are written is another option (as another poster suggested).
    What I did, however, was download Jeffrey Friedl's  "JF Flickr" plugin, which does work correctly (http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/flickr). It is quite robust. It takes a little work to setup all of your Smart Collections again but he clearly puts effort into maintaining it.  It didn't have the "API error" that the built-in plugin has.
    Also what annoys me is that Adobe hasn't caught this yet or said anything about it.  The best I could find was this thread.  Native plugins should never be broken, Adobe!

  • Cannot publish to Facebook and Keychain Error

    I want to publish photos from iPhoto 09 to Facebook but I've got some sort of endless loop error. See the screens at the link or read my description.
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/stanomatic/4113756464/in/set-72157622701757225/
    I press the Facebook icon in the lower right and I get the drop down dialog which asks "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" I click the Setup button. Then I get the iPhoto Uploader button and I put in my Email and Password. Then I get this "iPhoto wants to use the "loginrenamed2" keychain." Please enter password. So I enter the same password. I didn't make this keychain. I never use keychain and don't understand how it works or anything else about it. Then it takes me back to the original screen, "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Facebook?" So the loop starts all over again.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Keychain is what stores your passwords. Try use Keychain Access to repair them. It's in your Applications / Utilities folder.

  • Photoshop Elements 12:  Unable to publish to Facebook

    I just installed PE12 and tried publishing to Facebook.  This worked flawlessly in PE9.  PE asks me to authorize Facebook and I log in and receive a message saying that I am logged in.  I then return to PE and "complete authorization".  I was able to create an Album in Facebook from PE12, but the 9 pictures that appeared to successfully upload do not appear in Facebook.
    Any suggestions?
    Using Windows 7 Ultimate and recently upgraded from PE9 to PE12. 

    Did they copy over your programs and settings to the new disk? You can't do that with PSE (unless you do a total system clone).
    If that's the situation, you need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    And then go around and manually remove all the bits you can find from applications, hard drive>library>application support>adobe, and your username>library preferences and then reinstall from scratch. Note that spotlight won't help you with this, you have to do it yourself since spotlight is programmed to skip the files you want to find.

  • IPhoto is Not Publishing to Facebook

    Is anyone else having this problem? I am trying to upload an album to FB. I have setup my account like it asks. Is says that it is publishing the thumbnails but when I check my FB account, the photos aren't there. I checked the other discussion threads but those solutions posted aren't working for me. I published one other album without a problem and now this. Any suggestions?

    Thank you! Thank you! I actually had to change the name of the album I was using as a source. Renaming the album I had already attempted to publish did not work.
    1. Delete the album you originally attempted (and failed) to publish (under the Facebook tab).
    2. Go to the original album/event and rename it avoiding the &, *, or % characters.
    3. Follow the usual steps to publish to Facebook.
    4. Voila!

  • Iphotos won't publish on facebook?

    I have previously been able to post/publish photos from iphoto straight to facebook. Now when I go to Share - Facebbook it comes up with Do you want to set up iphoto to publish to Facebook? Cancel or Set Up. When I choose set up it open a small Facebook window, a blue bar moves (looks like it is loading the photos) and then finishes but only give me an option to Close. When I do, nothing happens, I assume the set up has happened and try to re: share them but asks me the same thing. Pls help?? There are no updates needed on my computer so unsure why this has stopped working for me?
    Tks

    Once I downloaded Yosemite the iphoto does not work anymore. So I went ahead and trash the app and attempted to reinstall.
    Did you check, if iPhoto is really gone from the Applications folder? You should not be seeing an "Update", if you do not have iPhoto installed any longer. Make sure, it has been deleted from "Applications".
    Then go to the main page of the App Store ("Featured") and search for iPhoto. If iPhoto is now showing as "Free", buy it for free to install it again.

  • LR3 unable to publish to facebook - help

    Think I put this in the wrong discussion thread first time round,   Hope it works now.
    I can't publish to facebook.  Tried various collections and it won't work.  Everything was fine last week.
    Error message #1  "Failed to retrieve item info" apprears when I try to upload to facebook.
    Error  message #2 (could be a summary), "Warning, can't update this  collection.  Failed to retrieve item info.", appears as soon as I close  the tab for Error #1,
    Anyone has a solution?
    Thanks,

    Hi Julie,
    I've been using LTR since Beta 1. I love this program and spend about 10 hours a day living in it.
    I've been using in LTR 2 for years now and just downloaded LTR 3.3 4 days ago.
    I wanted to test drive the Publishing tool for FaceBook.  LTR will not let me select an ALBUM for FaceBook  and I keep getting this error message
    "Could not get album info from Facebook."  and then this one also after I click to close that error "Can’t update this collection."
    If you have a fix I'd like to know to give it a test drive.  I don't know what to do to so if you can please help me out I'd be smiling again.
    I'd like to volunteer or test drive the new fix
    LTR 3.3
    Mac 10.6.6
    Firefox Browser 3.6.15
    Thanks

  • LR 3.2 Publish to Facebook - "PAGES"

    Like most photographer's I've got a facebook page and then a "photography studio page". The way facebook makes you basicly have a "sub account" for promoting your photo business.
    I can configure LR 3.2 to publish to albums in my normal account, but I'd like to publish directly to my "professional page" which is linked to the account. It does not have a seperate login... but when I load it up it does show that Lightroom is authorized to publish to it. However, the albums for the "page" are not available in the lightroom publish to facebook area.
    Any ideas?

    My apologies if you have already found this answer, but I didn't see it in the replies for this thread. 
    Here is an answer to your "pages" issues with the default Facebook plugin.  Check out Jeff Friedl's plugin...
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1686 557
    Here is his personal blog, from which he supplies a wealth of information and a variety of plugins for Lightroom (see "Lightroom Goodies")...

    I''m setting up my plugins from Jeff as "I speak."
    I hope this helps,

  • Suddenly iPhoto on my Mac will not publish to Facebook. It seems to think I want to change account, and the icon for Publish is not even an option anymore.

    Suddenly I can no longer publish to Facebook using iphoto on my Mac !! Literally overnight.  When you click on an image to publish to Facebook, the only options available are Cancel and Change Account, the Publish option (which was available a few days ago) has now become un-operable.
    Help please.

    Am experiencing same exact difficulty slinkmomo.  Let me know if you resolved it and steps to take please. Love You.  :-)

  • Can someone please help?  Can't publish to Facebook in LR4.1

    When I attempt to "authorize" Lightroom to access my Facebook account I get a "webpage cannot be accessed" and the address "lightroom://com.adobe.lightroom.export.facebook/#access_token="  and a ridiculously long string of jibberish afterward.  Same thing happens with the built in publish service for Flickr.   I am about to pull out what hair I have left because I've been unable to locate an answer to this issue. 
    Any insight or help from the professional community on this site would be greatly appreciated.

    Victoria,
    For Facebook:  I used the following procedure found on another thread on this site dated 15 Mar 2012, The  "Failed to receive the authentication token." will show up as a blue hyperlink right above the "Change Account" button.
    I found I was able to complete it only using Microsoft IE on windows using the following method:
    1. Delete Lightroom from the Apps on your account
    2. Re-authorize from Lightroom (make sure Microsoft IE is the default internet browser)
    3. When authorizing IE will go to an invalid URL - just copy all of the URL
    4. When Lightroom notifies "Failed to receive the authentication token." Click on it to bring up "lightroom://..." under the Facebook Authorization URL
    5 Replace "lightroom://..." with the URL you copied and it will be authorized
    Note it doesn't seem to work with either Firefox or Google Chrome
    As for Flickr...Under the "Sharing and Extending" tab in Flickr, Lightroom is not showing up.  Under the LR Publish Services, Plug in Manager, Lightroom indicates I can't save my changes to the Flickr set up because I am not logged in to Flickr, when in fact I am.  Logging out of Flickr and logging back in has no effect on the process as LR still returns the same thing.
    I'm baffled, to say the least.

  • 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.

  • How do I publish to Facebook the Captions for my pictures?

    I published an album to Facebook and the Title (picture number) instead of the Caption is showing up as a description.  The manual says to set the Facebook title using metadata, but I can't find the opportunity to make this selection.

    Title is not the same as Caption.
    I have a description of the picture in the Caption box.  File title can only be a short name which is the same as File Name as a default.   I was able to publish the Captions on Smugmug but still can't find a proper option for Facebook.

  • Publishing to Facebook Wall difficulty

    I am new to Mac and do not really have any expertise. When I selected a photo to publish to my Facebook Wall the upload began but a message appeared which reads:
    This operation couldn't be completed.
    (NSURLErrorDomain error-1.)
    The uploading rotating "Wheel" is still spinning but everything else seems to be frozen. I am not able to Quit iPhoto or do anything with the image. I apologise for sounding so inept in this question but I am truly "feeling my way" here. Even after shutting down the computer and restarting it makes no change to my problem. I would be most grateful for assistance in very simple terms that a beginner can understand.

    Once the Facebook gallery is published you can double-click the gallery name and type in whatever name you would like.
    Alternatively, add the images you want to an Album and name the Albums as you would like. When you click on the Album and then click the Facebook button, the name of the Album will be used as the Facebook gallery name.
