Syncing multiple iPhoto and Facebook albums

Hallo everyone...
I'm using iPhoto '09 on 3 Macs under the same LAN. Every Mac is set to login to same Facebook account and post photos. In this scenario I have:
• Mac A created a album and shared to Facebook
• Mac B created a album and shared to Facebook
• Mac C created a album and shared to Facebook
When I check Facebook, I correctly see the three album posted, but every Mac "sees" in its library only the album published and not the other two from other Macs...
Is there a way to see on each Mac all the albums posted in Facebook from the others? Since they "share" the same Facebook account, I suppose it would be a great option!
Thanks in advance for your great job!
Raf

Are you going to continue using iPhoto on yoru old Mac? As documented changes made to the ihoto library are synced to Facebook -- if you simply trash the iPhoto library on the old mac then nothing will be changed in FB - if you delete them using iPhoto then then changes will be synced

IPhoto and Facebook Albums

I just transferred my iPhoto library to my new MacBook Pro. I can see my Facebook albums in iPhoto on my new Mac. I need to delete all my photos on my old Mac. Will this delete them from Facebook too? Thanks! I don't want to delete my photos on the old Mac until I know the answer!

Is there a way to sync both iPhoto and Aperture albums?

I see that there is a drop down menu that will allow me to select either iPhoto or Aperture to sync with. My question is it possible to sync from both?
I use Aperture with my DSLR and iPhoto for my point-and-shoot.

Yeah I'm in the same boat here. I just got a MacBook Pro yesterday, switching from Windows, and I was shocked to find that syncing photos from my new computer onto my iPhone is aparently a much bigger pain in the rear than it ever was with Windows.
This is not correct - you just don't know what is available to you.
iPhoto has a single library where all photos are stored just as with iTunes and music/video and with the Address Book application for contact information. iPhoto 08 includes Events along with creating albums.
You don't need to split events to create an album or albums. All Photos remain in the iPhoto's library and any photos placed in events or albums includes a pointer to the original photos available in the main library and are not duplicated. A photo cannot be available in an Event or an Album unless it is available in main iPhoto library. You can have the same photo in multiple events or albums just as you can have the same song in multiple iTunes Playlists and the same contact in multiple Groups with the Address Book.
The sync option for Events is all or the 1,3,5,10 or 20 most recent but you can select individual albums to be transferred to the iPhone.
This will provide for viewing the photos available in an album only when selecting the album on the iPhone or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting the Photo Library on the iPhone.

Sort MobileMe Gallery and Facebook Albums

How can I sort MobileMe and Facebook albums by date (or manually)?

Hi Mark.
I had the same issue and, through trial and error, think I may have found the solution - at least for MobileMe (I haven't used the Facebook publishing yet).
If you log in to your MobileMe photo gallery web app at http://www.me.com/ then you get a list of your albums down the left side. You can drag each album up and down the list to order them.
(not sure if the next step is actually required or if you just need to wait a bit...)
Next, open up your iPhoto app and let it sync the new MobileMe album order.
Finally, go to your gallery page on the web at http://gallery.me.com/your_username and hopefully you should see the albums appear in the order you set.
If they still appear in the wrong order, try refreshing the gallery page, clearing your browser cache etc...
Hope this works for you.

How to unsync iphoto and facebook

I have successfully unsynced my iphoto and facebook, which allows me to delete photos/edit photos from iphoto without affecting my facebook pictures and albums. Here's how it's done.
Go to iphoto.
Click on "iphoto" in top left of your screen (in the tool bar)
Click on "preferences"
Click on "accounts"
Highlight your facebook account and hit the minus sign below.
Check the box that appears, and away you go.
Your facebook will now be disabled from your iphoto and your f/b pics will be safe.
I would advise not re-syncing, as I don't know what will happen if you do. Now that I've come this far, I'm not going to bother finding out!
I safely emptied my iphoto trash, which held 4600 deleted pictures in it. Many of these pics were posted on my facebook. Once emptied, my facebook pictures were still safely showing on f/b. (when you empty your iphoto trash, you must then go to the trash can on your dock as the photos have been moved to a folder there. Delete that folder to permanently delete your trashed pics).

Larry, you have posted on every thread regarding people wanting iPhoto and Facebook to stop synchronizing changes and you actually sound like a Microsoft Windows fanatic as you explain why the hundreds of people that all want to do the same thing -- disable future changes to a Facebook album from 5 days/months/years ago -- just need to understand that the product works exactly as the manual describes and go away. Specifically, they should never have used the capability in the first place (i.e. they should travel back in time and alter their decision to use iPhoto's Facebook upload capability).
This is not at all in the spirit of how most Apple products work. Their products are generally quite intuitive. In this case, all users of Facebook have experienced album uploads as a one-time event (perhaps with a few additional tweaks immediately after the initial upload). Therefore, this idea of life-long synchronization is completely counterintuitive. Further, iPhoto allows the capability to configure a preference for manually syncing changes (and adds a sync button next to the album), yet continues to automatically sync certain types of changes even when said button is not pressed.
I don't think you've yet added any value to the discussion by implying that the typical and expected user experience is invalid -- especially when one cannot retroactively change a past decision to use iPhoto to upload photos to Facebook.
A simple "Disable future synchronization of this album with Facebook" checkbox makes a lot of sense. Yes, I submitted a feature request.

Iphoto and Facebook aren't communicating. I'm unable to post pictures to FB from iPhoto. Any suggestions?

IPhoto and Facebook not communicating. Pics won't upload from iPhoto to Facebook.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Palm Treopro--Sync multiple calendars and task lists

I have more than one calendar and task list that I use in Outlook. Is there a way to sync multiple calendars and task lists on the Palm Pro?
Thanks,
Al
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

I just upgraded to Pre 2 a couple weeks ago and have been experiencing similar problems with my Verizon model and a replacement. Apparently it is widespread; there is a lengthy (11 pages so far) thread on it in this Community forum. Try http://palm.lithium.com/t5/Synergy-webOS/strange-behavior-syncing-Pre2-Calendar-with-Google-Calendar... or Google the phrase "strange behavior syncing Pre 2 Google" (look for a search response that references "11 pages" or you'll miss some of the more recent posts). Not sure there are any good answers at the moment. Very disappointing if so; the Google/Pre sync worked flawlessly on my Pre Plus for the past 15 months (webOS v.1.4.5)

Here is a Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips

Check out my Tutorial on How to sync Multiple Video and Audio Clips http://vimeo.com/28972315

Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

IPhoto and Facebook - Syncing issues with publication error

I am having trouble with the syncing function using the facebook icon at the bottom right of iPhoto '09. I create a facebook album with several photos, and it seems to take the appropriate time to upload the photos. But when I go to Facebook, there is only a few, if any photos in the album. It did create the album, however. I delete the album and repeat the same steps, and a different amount of photos would upload this time, but nowhere near the correct amount. Also when i try to sync the albums again, usually an error message comes up saying...
"An error occurred with the publication of album "(Album Name)." Do you want to remove the album from your library?
And then in small print
"The feed could not be found or is invalid."
And then the option to remove or keep the album.
Why am I having syncing problems?
For now I am using the Export function and a facebook plugin which works fine, but I want the ability to add photos to libraries and sync rather than using the export function.

Same problems here, multiple albums. It will upload a couple photos, then say it can't find the album.
(then Keep or Remove Album blah blah, because that's a good feature. oh wait, we couldn't find your photos, so we'll just throw em all out, cool?)

IPhoto deletes Facebook Albums- WHY? And how to stop it.

I have seen some posts on this issue, but haven't seen any recent responses.
I was on iPhoto and clicked to share something on FB. As soon as I did I got a notice that a totally unrelated album was deleted from FB. This is now 3 albums that have been deleted from FB but the photos are still in my iPhoto library. They also show up as FB albums on iPhoto, but the albums now contain no photos.
I see this has happened to others but have seen no resolution to restore them or to determine what the issue is. Any new ideas?

See if the following help. Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.

IPhone - how to sync with iPhoto and Aperture at the same time ???

I'm having a really hard time with syncing my photos - I'm using iPhoto and Aperture on my Mac. When I launch iTunes and start managing my iPhone, it seems like I should be able to sync photos from a variety of sources all at once (iPhoto, Aperture, other folders).
However, whichever option I select in the photos drop-down becomes the only libraries that are available to sync. What I mean is that if I select some of the Albums in my iPhoto list and sync those, when I later drill down to Aperture and select albums from there and perform a sync - then the previously synced/loaded albums and photos from iPhoto are automatically removed from the iPhone.
Why can't I sync between multiple photo albums / sources at the same time? This is incredibly annoying.

Here's how I solved this problem:
In Aperture, select File -> Import -> iPhoto Library
Then under the "Store Files" dropdown, be sure "In their Original Location" is select. This will allow Aperture to see your iPhoto library, but it will be managed by reference rather than phyisically imported.
Now, in iTunes, select Aperture as the application from which you want to synch photos, and select the option to synch specific albums.
You should be able to see the names of albums in iPhoto as well as those created in Aperture.

IPhoto deleted facebook albums also deleted iPhoto albums.

I hope someone can help me out.
I started up iPhoto after deleting a lot of pictures from Facebook. It stated something like do you want to import the pictures from facebook albums? I was like no because they are already on my iMac but not it seems they are gone.
Is there any way to fix this? I have a time machine back-up but it happened about a month ago.
Thank you in advance.

As documented iPhoto syncs with FB so changes made to photos uploaded from IP to FB in either place are reflected in the other - deleting from FB also deletes from that album in iPhoto

Issues tagging faces in iphoto and Facebook

Hi
I have iPhoto 11 (v9.4.3 720.91) and have been using faces on it for the last 4 months or so.
I linked my facebook account with my iPhoto and have been sharing albums on facebook happily, assuming the faces I tagged were tagging on facebook too.
However, when I shared an album yesterday I realised the tags on facebook are just names, not links to the facebook pages.
I have spent ages reading posts and other questions like this but have had no luck... When I type a name, I see loads of names with the facebook symbol and those presumably tag correctly in facebook, however both mine and my partner's don't have that icon and aren't tagging correctly.
The full name of both of our 'faces' is correct, as were our email addresses. I tried changing the email addresses to the @facebook.com ones but that made no difference.
I have tried sharing a photo that iPhoto recognises as having two faces but kept them as 'unamed' and then tagged them in facebook instead. When I update my facebook album containing that photo in iPhoto, the photo has both of our names tagged, but in the info bar on the right, neither name appears in the 'faces' section; and both my partner and my 'faces' show one unconfirmed face on that particular photo. I am unable to confirm the faces though, it just keeps saying they are unconfirmed once I have confirmed them.
It is really annoying me, as I don't want to have to upload photos to facebook before tagging faces and tagging them on facebook and then on iPhoto AS WELL!
Anyone have any idea or any help here?
Thanks,
Jen

Ok, thanks.
I think the issues I have are only with people whose faces I tagged in iPhoto before I linked to facebook...
Ill try contacting facebook and see if they can help. Will post any solution I get here for others.

Can't upload multiple images to Facebook album through Safari

I switched back to Safari on my Macbook Pro after downloading Yosemite. I heard it was the best browser for the new OS. I am experiencing problems uploading multiple images to a Facebook album. I have to go back to the basic uploader and upload them one at a time. Is there a fix?

Thanks for a reply.
I've signed in already and it works with few images. But when i try to share large amount of images ,the menu "facebook" was disappeared.

Iphoto and facebook issues

My Iphoto library is showing exclamation marks where pictures once existed. These exclamation marks are all my Facebook albums. How do I make the pictures re-appear in my library?

where do you see these? When viewing events? when en=larging a single photo? What version of iPhoto? What has recently changed? Have you cleaned your disk or run any cleanup software like CleanMyMac2 or KacKeeper (Hint - Never use those programs - they are not needed and often damage the iPhoto library and the system)
