Syncing with photos already in Facebook?

Installed iPhoto '09 without a hitch (over 15,000 photos in library — Faces took a while, but works great!) and now just wondering if there's a way to deal with albums/photos already on Facebook? The new features in iPhoto are really great, but just wondering if there's a way to deal with things already uploaded to FB from iPhoto pre-'09? For example, I recently uploaded a new album of 20 photos — I want to upload some new photos to that album using this new feature — does that mean my iPhoto Facebook album will be out of Sync with the album I'm uploading the images to? It'd be nice to be able to some how "sync" things up between the two?

I agree, this is annoying, I wish I could sync all the albums I've already created in FB.
I do have a work-around, it's not the best, but it works.
I choose one photo from my iPhoto library, preferably one that is not already on FB. I then create an album named exactly the same as the album on FB. I then upload the photo and it creates a new album.
For example, if I have a "FAMILY" album on FB, in iPhoto I create an album named "FAMILY" adding the one pic and upload that one picture, now I have two albums on FB named "FAMILY".
I then go to FB and in the original FB "FAMILY" album I choose to Move all the photos to the new iPhoto created "FAMILY" album. Upon completion I delete the old FB created "FAMILY" album and then in iPhoto I sync the album and all photos are there.
Not optimal, but it works until Apple fixes this... which they better...

  • Ipad won't sync with photos from Aperture - library cannot be found

    Ok I give up. When trying to sync my photos onto my new ipad from Aperture in iTunes I keep getting the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications. Well the library is where it should be in the Home folder and then pictures. I have the latest version of iTunes and Aperture. The only similar setting I can find in Aperture preferences is under Previews and Share Previews with ilife and iwork, no mention of itunes?
    I've gone into my Aperture show contents and deleted the cache folder ipod photo cache (I previously synced to my iphone 3GS). It works syncing to iphoto, as I have tested it and the iphoto is in the same folder as the Aperture library so they are in the right location.
    I am now at a loss as to what to try next......PLEASE HELP ME....
    I don't want to have to have a Aperture library and an iphoto library on the go!

    Hi,
    iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found.
    If you have an external drive connected to your Mac, disconnect that, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and try syncing photos from Aperture.

  • All pictures in Photos on Mac syncing with Photos on iPhone and taking up too much space

    Since I downloaded Photos on my MacBook Pro, all the pictures that I had in iPhotos are not showing up on Photos on my laptop AND my iPhone. I used to be able to choose which iPhoto albums to sync with my iPhone and would prefer to do that again. It is taking up way too much space to have them all synced to my phone. Any idea how to choose which pictures I want available on my phone???

    Before the migration to Photos on laptop, I would go to iTunes, Photos, Sync Photos, Selected Albums, and then choose the albums from iPhoto to sync to phone.
    Since I had the problem with all of the photos syncing to iPhone, I un-checked Sync, but they were all still showing up on iPhone.
    I just looked at iTunes and saw this message:
    When I looked last week, the "copy from _______" was not an option. Now I am able to choose the iPhoto albums that I want to sync just as I was before.
    I still don't know why they were syncing when I didn't have that option selected, but it appears Apple has fixed the issue I was having.
    I guess I will continue to use iPhoto rather than Photos on my laptop to avoid this issue again.
    Thank you for your help!!!!

  • Syncing with Photo Library

    I had about 1,000 pictures on my MacBook on iPhoto. All these photos got synced with my iPhone 3G. I had a boo boo on my Mac and reinstalled the OS. All 1,000 some photos were deleted from my MacBook. But these photos are still on my iPhone in my Photo Library, I don't want to lose these photos. Can I get them back on my MacBook?

    Keep in mind that the photos on the iPhone have been resized and scaled down into an iPhone compatible format.
    This program should allow you to extract them, though you will lose quality:

  • Ipod sync with photo

    when i try to sync my ipod with photos i get an error message reading" Ipod cannot be synced. Unknow error [-48]"
    what is this, and does anyone know how to fix?

    First, try deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder off your computer.
    Go to the "START" menu on your computer, and click on "Search". Select "All files and folders", and type "ipod photo cache" in the blank.
    Delete any folder(s) that are named "iPod Photo Cache" off your computer.
    After you've done that, disconnect your iPod from your computer, then reconnect it.
    Do you still get that -48 error when syncing photos to your iPod, or not?

  • Help with Photos Uploaded to Facebook?

    Hello everyone I am new to the forum and relatively new to MAC.
    Can somebody help me with my question.
    I have quite a lot of photos stored on my Macbook and and most of the 'albums' are uploaded to facebook too. I would like to know if I deleted some of my album files full of photos - would the ones on Facebook still show up - both on my computer AND on my facebook albums.
    I feel if I remove them from my computer then I may lose them off my facebook page too?
    I want to burn all my photo's to disk to free up space on my Macbook.
    If anyone understands my question and can advise I would be grateful.
    Many thanks.
    Karen

    Ah thank you TD... but this is not the reply I was hoping for!!! Forgive my ignorance but I still don't understand...
    Let me explain. For intstance I have a file of photos in my iPhoto albums - I then hightlighted all of those pics and clicked the FaceBook icon and 'that album' then got uploaded to my Facebook photos.. this then shows up on my iPhotos as having TWO lots of that album stored. If I wanted to put the album on disk and then remove it from my album list in iPhoto's BUT the FB album would still be there - would it mean that that the FB album would also be removed. I can't really explain it properly here but I hope you know what I mean.
    Next question... I have thought about an external drive - a friend has suggested that BUT I don't really understand how they work, would I have to have it connected to my laptop all the time OR just when I wanted to view/sort/upload my photos and this goes for my Itunes files too... I have a lot of songs stored there also!!
    I wish I knew more about computers and MAC lol

  • Places and faces not syncing with photo stream

    Hello,
    I put some of my pictures from my Mac Pro's iPhoto library into Photo Stream with the intention of grabbing them into my MacBook Pro's iPhoto library.
    They download and the events are generated but the Faces and Places information did not come along :-(
    I'm wondering if this is by design (I sincerely hope not!) or a bug...
    Any thoughts?

    Here's the English version
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
    It clearly states
    when you take a photo on one device, it automatically appears on all your other devices. No syncing. No sending. Your photos are just there. Everywhere you want them.
    No mention of Faces and Places there.
    Or
    it automatically imports every picture from your Photo Stream into your photo library so you can edit, delete, and share the ones you want.
    Again, no mention of Faces and Places here, or anywhere on that page.
    It's not a bug. It's just not a feature.
    Regards
    TD 

  • My iPod won't sync with photos

    My iPod won't sync. a message comes up that says the required file is locked. It also says that it cant sync the music yet i have all my music on my iPod. What do i do?

    You need to have at least 55MB of space available to sync photos. Not sure why, could have to do with swap space.

  • Lightroom 4 beta - captions out of sync with photo

    I thought this email export was great and includig my capitons as well.  When I emailed them the captions would't stay with the photo they belonged to - out of order.   Exported 12 pics with email - all out of order.  Exported again just 3 pics and in order.  I hope this can be corrected because it was a great feature.

    Same here, much confusion with the captions being out of any order when using the internal e-mail client.

    Hi Brett, thank you for answering!
    I believe I have it set up to sync with iTunes, because for the first time today I plugged in my iPhone to my Macbook Pro and iTunes and iPhoto started up... I then saw "syncing with iPhone" on top of iTunes.
    Is there a setting I need to configure (on either my iPhone or the programs themselves) to have it sync with my address book and calendar?

  • ICloud sync with 2 users

    I have a new iMac with 2 User ID's.  We each have an iPhone and an iPad.  We share one iTunes account and one Apple ID.  I would like to know how to set up our calendars and contacts via iCloud so that the information only syncs with our own devices, not each others.  Is this possible and if so, how?

    Yes, you can use whatever iCloud accounts you like, they do not have to have anything to do with your iTunes AppleID.
    You can each set up a new iCloud account from the phone or Mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
    You might even choose to add both iCloud accounts to both sides, but sync selective information (eg to share notes, etc). Only the primary iCloud user on each side can sync with Photo Stream, though. What many people do, alternatively, is share out selective calendars to each other through the Mac Calendar's sharing feature, if you want to have access to each other's schedule.
