Sharing pictures between IPhoto 9.5.1 and Facebook

I recently updated my IMAC to Mavericks and IPhoto 9.5.1. It seems that since then I have been unable to "share" pictures that are in IPhoto with my Facebook page. In IPhoto, on the left hand side, I can see a category labeled "Sharing" and there I see ICloud and Facebook. If I highlight Facebook, under the Sharing Label, I see all the pictures I currently have on Facebook.
The problem is, if I want to add new pictures to Facebook, when I highlight the picture and select the "Sharining Icon" at the bottom right in IPhoto or if I use the Share Pull Down menu, Facebook is greyed out and not selectable.
I went into Preferences and the Facebook Account is listed there. I even removed it and then re-added it with no change in the issue.
I went into the "Apps Settings" in Facebook and the IPhoto App is there and "on".
If I go into Facebook I can upload a picture from my IMAC that way, it's just an issue when sending pictures from IPhoto to Facebook.

Where is your iPhoto Library stored? Have you tried rebuilding the Library?

Sharing pictures between computer and my iphone

i'm having problem sharing pictures off of my comuter to my i phone

What "problem" are you having?

Uploaded pictures to iPhoto but computer froze and I did a force quit - now all pictures gone! Help!!

I uploaded pictures to iPhoto library, I was attempting to share one picture (out of 350!) and computer froze for over 5 minutes. I did a "force quit" and when I reopend iPhoto all pictures were gone. The library shows the events I created but when I click on it, there are no pictures. Please help!

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

Sharing pictures between users

I want to be able to share photos with another user on the same computer. I am aware its possible when there are two computers on the same network. I have one computer, 2 users, just want to share our library automatically. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Sharing pictures from iphoto to NON-apple users

Can you share pictures from iPhoto to people that don't have an apple device? Everything I have found says they must have an apple device. I am trying to share a bunch of pictures to a friend that has a Window-based computer. Thanks

1 - using the "current version" of iPhoto (iPhoto '11 version 9.5) you can share with anyone if they have the correct software on their computer - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
2 - MobileMe has not existed for almost two years
3 - there are many commercial services including FaceBook, Flickr, SmugMug etc that you can share photos on

Pictures in iPhoto 6 library flash and then disappear but leave a box

OSX 10.5.8 iPhoto 6
pictures in library flash and then disappear but leave an empty box

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Possible Conflict Between iPhoto/OSX10.4.2 and POSER6

Running iPhoto 5.0.4
Upgraded to OSX 10.4.2 and POSER 6 over the weekend. Since this load I have lost access (from within iPhoto) to my photofiles. Thumbs load however cannot get full view (just the roatating circle) Then hangs until I click the Done Button.
The Files are there and will open in Preview and Photoshop. Also cannot Import new files either by drag and drop or from Camera. Get error message stating that files might me in wrong format. Photofiles are OK and will Import to older mac running iPhoto 2 and OSX 10.2
Have restored iPhoto from DVD and still the same.
Any Ideas?

Hi John,
don't know if it is just a coincidence that your iPhoto problems started at the same time as you new installations or not.
check out the suggestions on Page 1 to see if any help.

Sharing calendars between 2 iPhones, 1 Outlook and 1 iCal.

Hello all,
my wife just got an iPhone. We'd like to share (publish) a couple of calendar categories. I'm on an Mac and iCal, she's using Outlook 2007. I use Plaxo to sync multiple versions of iCal but can't seem to figure out how we can share calendars.
I tried using http://www.icalx.com to publish a calendar, but when she tries to subscribe she gets an OLE error that it isn't a valid .ics file.
Any ideas? Thanks!

When you first sync her iPhone you should see a message asking if you want to overwrite or merge the calendars. Also what you can do is create a calendar in iCal for her and then set the INFO tab to sync to that calendar from her iPhone.
You can do the same for contacts.

HT1338 Everytime I plug in my Ipad or Iphone and attempt to sync Iphoto via Itunes or uploading new pictures to Iphoto, my computer panics and closes either program. What is wrong with my Iphoto? (I have the up to date software)

I could really use some help. This problem has been plaguing me for over 6 months. Please help.

Have you tried running Disk Utility/Repair Permissions and deleting the .plist for the two programs?
In Finder, hold down the option key while selecting the Go to Folder Command and select user library.

Sharing videos bewteen iPhoto libraries

Finding out that sharing pictures between iPhoto libraries is not easy. Thought this would be easy for Apple, but it's cumbersome. I have a MBP and a MM. I take my pictures and videos on my Canon T2i. Sometimes I load the SD card into the MM, sometimes into the MBP. Trying to keep those 2 libraries synched is a pain. I finally figured out the way for pictures (drag event to album, drag album to shared albums on other computer and then rename).
Problem is, none of the videos show up. How do I share videos? I suppose I could copy my library from one computer and then write over the other library on s set schedule, but that seems so Microsoft-like. I suppose I could also stick the SD card into both computers...but again, not very Apple-like.
Most of the videos I eventually use iMovie to turn into video clips that I want to keep and then I try and purge from iPhoto to prevent it from getting too large, but is there no way to share video clips between iPhoto libraries?
And yes, I have already sent this enhancement request to the developers...

Check out iPhoto Library Manager
I'm not sure if it also copies videos, but it's worth a try.

How do I share iphoto's pictures between multiple computers

having converted from PC to the Mac I have almost 20,000 pictures in iphoto on my iMac and all lost the tags/people/locations that I had tagged using a PC application. I now need to retag all these using iphoto's people and locations and key words. This will take some time and I'm thinking of buying an Apple notebook so I can continue doing the tags etc while away from home or even while watching TV. Is it possible to share the photo's between 2 mac's and no matter which mac I'm using have all the tags etc stay intact? Or alternately will I have to some how export each time from the up to date iphoto and import onto the other machine? If I have to export and import then that will be a rather large file to move back and forth. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, you would have to have the library on your laptop or on an external HD attached to your laptop. Depending on the size of the library you could put it on a flash drive and operated from it. It would work as I'm doing that now with one of my libraries and my MBP and iMac in creating a book. But it will be slow. If all you're doing is adding keyword and titles it should be a viable method. Faces will work but may be one of the slower features of this method as it requires frequent accessing of the files on the disk (I'm not sure of this last part, however, so take it with a grain of whatever).
I would purchase a flash drive that had as fast an read/write capability as possible. Also format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) before using.

Color Sync Between iPhoto and Photoshop

iPhoto's retouching tool does a good job for retouching small marks in a photo, but there are times when Photoshop is needed to do rechouching work.
While making a slideshow I noticed a colorshift when moving an image from iPhoto to Photoshop and then back into the iPhoto. To be more specific there is a loss of saturation as if the color space between the to programs are not sycncronized or embedded profiles are changed when an image moves between the two. The images are five mega pixle jpgs.
This issues is made more complicated because of color differences between iPhoto's edit window and the slideshow it's self while it is playing.
Apparently I'm missing something in using these to programs together.
Photoscene

Thanks for your help. I did change the value, but have not imported any new pictures yet into iphoto. I did figure out how to get Photoshop to not color shift on save. However I'm not sure this method is a good thing, since the only way to prevent the color shift on saves, is from the photoshop save as dialog box. you must turn off embed color profile. when I do this, there is no longer a color shift. however the color profile is no longer embeded in the picture. are there any negatives for doing it this way?

I want to know the difference between iphoto master folder and previews folder

I want to know the difference between iphoto library master folder and previews folder.. my pictures is stored in master but part of them is also copied into previews.. it occupied too much space.. if I can't change anything in iphoto library, any way to save the space for iphoto? 70G for almost 15,000 pictures, is it reasonable?
i use mac book pro, ilife 11..

70GB for 15,000 photos is reasonable, yes, if the photo files are large.
DO NOT meddle with the contents of your iPhoto Library in any other way than using the commands available in the iPhoto application. What appear to be duplicate files stored in different parts of the library are NOT duplicates, and if you attempt to save space by deleting things in the Finder, you will wreck your library and land in a world of trouble.
