What is up with Flickr Uploads?

I am using the trial of Lightroom 3, and have uploaded a bunch of my photographs to Flickr. I noticed that quite a few of them (I'm guessing about 1/4) have strange digital artifacts. See this photograph for an example. What is doing that and how can I stop it? I'd like to buy LR3, but unless I can get that sorted I may not.

I think it is quite safe to eliminate LR as a source of the problem. It doesn't do anything else but submit an upload request to the Flickr API.
Have you tried to export the same image to say a location on the harddrive?
Do you still see the green bar?
Have you tried uploading the same image to Flickr manually?
Again, I think there is little chance that LR is to blame unless there is a rendering problem which should show up in other rendering, e.g., exports as well.

  • Help, what's wrong with my upload function

    Hi,
    I want to write a java Bean (FileUploadBean) to upload the image files. I use a very simple txt file to test my Bean code, I've already know the syntax of the entity body of httpServletRequest object, it's like below:
    "-----------------------------7d327203032e
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="toefl_form"; filename="C:\transfer\Picasso_ljm\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\webapps\junmin\image\test.txt"
    Content-Type: text/plain
    hi, this is a test;
    -----------------------------7d327203032e--
    My original test.txt file is only a line without '\r', '\n'.
    "hi, this is a test."
    But after call my upload function, the saved file is:
    hi, this is a test.
    There are 4 more bytes than the original file. Below is my FileUploadBean file, does anyone can figure out what's wrong in my upload function? Does the readLine read the return carriage and new line charactor too? Thank you very much!

    I find a bug myself. I add a line "i = in.read(line, 0, 256);" in doUpload function in the following position:

    i = in.read(line, 0, 256);
    String newLine = new String(line, 0, i);
    But still, when I was trying to read a image file, it even didn't finish reading and quit already! Still has bugs, need help!

  • Photos app problem with Flickr upload

    I updated to new Yosemite on mac mini.  Now with the photos app I can only upload 30 photos to my flickr account and the titles do not upload.  I never had this problem with iPhotos (I could upload hundreds of photos and all the titles uploaded)  Help

    I have the same problem: The Title/Description is not uploaded/exported with my photos to the Caption field in Flickr or Facebook. I'm afraid this is a bug right now...

  • Bug with Flickr Upload

    Has any one else had a problem with the Flickr export will use the wrong date? It seems to be using either the modified or created date of the file at the time it was added to Aperture instead of the date that is in the EXIF info. Also this bug only shows up when I add the photo to a set, not when I upload it to my photostream. Is there some way to report this directly to Apple? It is very frustrating how half-baked their Flickr support really is...
    Ken

    Yes.  am getting this with iPhoto (not tried with Aperture).
    see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3215431

  • What has changed with browser uploads?

    Something changed in OS X 10.8 when  trying to upload a PDF from any browser.  Not sure if it's the particular web site, but this has only changed since people have updated to 10.8.  In the Open dialog box to find the PDF, Firefox defaults to "Image Files", where PDF and anything but straight image files are greyed out.  Changing to "All Files" will allow you to select the PDF.  Safari shows the same "Image Files" but has no way to change the view.  Same for Chrome.
    Thanks for any insight on this.

    I didn't see it. Send it to Apple if you want to show all files > http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • I'm in iphoto loop with Facebook that says there's a problem with IPhoto uploader. Try again later"  It's an eternal loop and no matter what it puts me back to Setup to publish IPHOTO every time and then will not publish.

    I'm in an Iphoto loop with iPhoto uploader error and Facebook.  I cannot post to Facebook as it sends me back to setup again and then says there is an error with iPhoto uploader.  "Try again later"  This has been going on since I joined Facebook.  Cannot figure out what to do

  • As of July 2014 Facebook won't upload photos, yet my iPhone and the PC at work will, what's up with my Mac or Safari?

    as of July 2014 Facebook won't upload photos when trying on my MacBook, yet my iPhone and the PC at work will, what's up with my Mac or Safari? I have updated my Flash and that seems fine. Facebook is not allowing me to upload photos of videos to my profile or friends profiles. Also when I post a link to an article the photo preview with the article no longer shows up either. What the heck??? I am super frustrated. Thanks for any help
    What I have:
    MacBook
    OS X, Version 10.9.3
    Safari
    Version 7.0.4

    I can upload photos to Facebook on Safari 7.0.5 and Mavericks v10.9.4 so update your OS X.
    Go to Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update, OR, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu top of that window. Then follow the instructions for updating OS X.
    When you're done, launch Safari then uploading photos on Facebook.
    If you still have problems, troubleshoot Safari extensions and third party plugins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Hey What's Up With THIS!    I attempted to disconnect from iCloud from my Mac Book Pro the system said I'd loose anything on my computer which had already been uploaded to the iCloud.    When I did the same with my iPhone a message came up asking me IF I

    Hey! What's Up With THIS!?
    I've been working on a Keynote Presentation for some time now.
    Once I added the iCloud.
    The system kep going into Storage Mode every 3-4 click on the keyboard or mouse.
    So I decided to shut the iCloud down from my computer.
    Oh Yeah... Here's the FUN Part.
    The system stated 'IF I did..... Everything loaded into theiCloud would be removed from my computer
    (MacBook Pro).
    So soon after (I obviously didn't disconnect the iCloud, can't afford to losse 'who knows what')
    So soon after I went into my iPhone to turn it off as well...
    There I received the message/question "Do you want items left on your iPhone?"
    Huh!     I didn't even receive that option on the Mac.

    Sweet!   Thank You Very Much!
    You should be a Tech!
    You explained it as simple as any Apple Tech I've spoken to.
    I'm in Alaska.
    We just received our first Apple Store 2 months ago.
    During their third week of operation, I mistakenly walked in assuming it was a
    contract Apple store (I heard a New branch/store of an Apple sub had opened a new store in
    Anchorage).  Needless to say, I bet I took 15 -20 classes in that week. Tuesday through Monday.
    Yep! I cancelled everything and just nailed everyone I could.
    I live near Fairbanks approximately 7+ hrs away.
    I had never had any instruction on Apple/Mac since becoming a PC convert just before Christmas of 2008.
    The Crew of Trainers Apple brought in, and New one's still in training are Exceptional!
    I've been like a five year old with a Ferrari until these Awesome Folks and Kids trained me in at
    That Apple Store.    They even assisted me in tweeking a Keynote Presentation prior to going into a 6 day
    Engineering Show also in Anchorage three weeks ago.

  • Flickr upload with labeled iPhoto shots

  • Flickr Upload from N73

    Hi, I know that the feature of uploading your photos directly from the N73 to the Flickr website was a main feature, but I've only decided to try it out now. When I selected a photo and put post to the web, flickr didn't come up as an option, some website that's name was "Vox" came up. I don't know what to do, the Flickr option was never there. Could anyone please help me with this, anyway I could get it back? Thanks in advance!

    You should try to reconfigure your set up again see here

  • Chromium crash on flickr uploader a other pages [SOLVED]

    Since a couple of updates chromium crashes on a few pages. Flickr uploader and wordpress.com blogs are an example.
    There is no aparent reason. The system is 64bits, Intel graphic card and it's updated. I cannot get some verbose output from chromium executed from shell, so I have no idea of what's happening. I've tried using incognito mode and change flash for pepper flash lib and the problem is still there.
    Anything you need just ask me.
    Sorry for my english. Thank you in advance.

    If you run the system, create another user and try something with that user (which uses a clean chromium profile). If everything goes right, you just need to clean your user's profile (that means losing bookmarks, history, and saved passwords, so think about making a backup).
    If the problem persists with the new user, well, no idea, but at least you'll keep your profile as it is right now

  • Flickr upload lacking?

    Does anyone else think the Flickr upload is lacking?? You can't tell it where to add the photos, cant create new sets and can't tag photos. Everything I could do with my 3rd party addon in iPhoto 08.

    Not quite true. You can tag photos in iPhoto, and they will sync with flickr. Make sure "Keywords" is ticked in the View menu, and you can add tags to your photos by clicking the line of text underneath them. These keywords will upload to flickr as tags.
    In fact if you then add more tags in flickr, they'll sync back to iPhoto too.
    You can't specify an existing set to put photos in. It will create a new set based on the date, but you can then rename this set (in either flickr or iPhoto) and it will do the right thing.
    There are definitely shortfalls - you can't specify the privacy of photos beyond private/public (no friends and family options).
    If you add more photos to that set in flickr, iPhoto actually downloads them and you can see them in iPhoto. But they're only "half" there. You can't see them in Photos or Events, but they'll appear in Slideshows.
    And this isn't right either; if you drag a photos that's already in a sync'ed set to another sync'ed set (or downloaded as above), rather than just placing the already uploaded photo in both sets, you get another instance of the photo uploaded in your photostream (which will then have different comment streams etc)
    And I haven't dared trying to use two different iPhoto installations to sync to the same flickr account yet.
    What'd I'd love is to have iPhoto use the EXIF data on the photos in flickr and the ones in my library to sync up all the photos that I have already uploaded. If it could merge the tags, and take a description if one's set that'd be ideal. Titles would be more problematic because I've often changed them in one location or an other from the usual DCIM1234 style, but it could make an educated guess as to which one is right.
    There's a way to go before it's ideal, but it's looking very promising.

  • How can I use more than one Facebook ID in Photos? (Plus, Flickr upload issues!)

    I'm having problems with the new Photos and ability to share images from the application. It seems I can only have my personal Facebook ID, and can't add a second ID (which is my business page, which I also like to post images to).
    Any idea how to add a Facebook Page ID?
    Also having major problems with Flickr. Seems inputting my user name (through System Preferences) does not match my actual user name in the Flickr app, so I can't upload images. UGH. (Why was this okay in iPhoto, but not now?) The only way to access Flickr is inputting your Yahoo ID, but if your Yahoo ID is different than your actual user name on Flickr, you're screwed.
    Any ideas? I tried deleting the profile, but I still can't input my Flickr name.
    Thanks.

    So, after trying to upload an album four times, it seems it finally kicked in/made the connection on Flickr. MAGIC.
    A second Facebook ID, however, remains a mystery.

  • What is the Tcodes for Uploading of data using BDC & CATT

    PP members:
    I was going through the <b>cutover activities</b> ,  and what I understood is  we transfer all the legacy system data into SAP before going live
    The data upload follows certain steps (depends on the organizational design load strategies)
    First we upload all the master data ( material master, BOM, W/C's & Routings)
    Then the transaction data ( Ideally speaking, there should no open orders i.e. WIP as on the day of cutoff )
    If the WIP (Work in Process) is unavoidable then the materials consumed shall be treated as <b>materials of the previous stage</b> and necessary adjustments shall be made after cutover day
    At this point, I could not able to understand what does the author mean <b>materials of the previous stage</b>
    Now comming to the uploading of data into SAP from legacy system, we use tools like LSMW, CATT & BDC
    Is it a must to use <b>only LSMW tool</b> to upload master data or any other upload tools are fine
    Lastly,. I am not sure about the Tcode of CATT & BDC
    Summary of the questions:
    1.What does the author mean  <b>material of previous stage</b>, for WIP materials during cutover activities
    2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data
    3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC ?
    Thanks for your time
    Suren R

    Dear,
    1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities - as i understood, what is the stage of material..like it must have gone through 2 work centers and other 2 is left. i.e. you need to create Production order with only 2 operation as other 2 is already over. - usually it is done in such a way that we will create Production order and confirm till 2 operations and WIp is calculated so thatb FI will tally the books in SAP and lagacy.
    2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data - no you can use any tool as required and suits yr requirement
    3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC- BDC through a prog in SE38. CATT through - SCEM.

  • My iphone consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    My iphone 5s consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    The long backups seem to be related to the size of the apps you installed, not the number. That's why some people with multiple pages of apps experience fast backups. There does seem to be a bug with the current firmware that can cause a crash when doing app uploads and syncs. This bug seems to be exacerbated by having large and many apps.
    I was experiencing frequent crashes, but have no more - even with 70 apps installed - some of them large like the American Heritage Dictionary which is several hundred megabytes. I did the following:
    1. I set iTunes to NOT do autosyncs every time I plug in. This setting is in the Itunes preferences.
    2. I disabled the autobackups in iTunes for the iphone. I figured that if it did crash and it was going to take 2 hours to restore, why not just reload. The instructions are readily found using google search; it involves a command line setting. Anyway, the phone doesn't crash anymore since doing this.
    3. I no longer install apps using the iPhone. I first install the app in iTunes and the I manually sync it to the iphone. I avoid doing multiple installs at once; at least for the large apps. Right click on each app and get its info from within itunes. If it is large, it is going to take time to backup.
    4. I always first shut off the iphone and restart it before installing any apps in itunes. This clears any memory issues left behind from use.
    I am going to continue to do these procedures until Apple releases a fix for the bugs relating to the apps.
    As noted, since I took these steps, I have had no crashes. I was crashing at least once every 1-2 days before with the same or less number of apps. I too was a first gen iPhone user and was very frustrated with the 3G experience. Since doing the above, I am once again a very happy and productive iPhone 3G user. I know its a pain to do this, but the bugs will get fixed at some point. I would never go back to my old phones - they were just phones.
