MobileMe Gallery & Facebook stuck syncing...

I have one gallery published to MobileMe and I just used iPhoto 09 to publish one album to my Facebook account. This morning they synced just fine.

This evening I moved around some photos and deleted some and the Facebook album has been "stuck" with the "sync pie" filled in about 40% (around 5 o'clock) and in the top right-hand corner I have a progress bar that says "uploading thumbnails".

My MobileMe gallery on the other hand is just forever "syncing" with the "sync pie" continually spinning but nothing else happening.

It's been like this for 30+ minutes now. I am skeptical to do anything else because I don't want to mess up my libraries in any way. I did go to my main iPhoto library (which contains a photo that is published in both online galleries I was talking about earlier) and I was unable to delete the photo (perhaps iPhoto is preventing me from doing that while it's trying to sync those two galleries?).

Any ideas/tip/tricks?

Thank you,
Keith

After 5 hours I decided I had waited long enough. 🙂

I hovered over the the "sync pies" until they turned to "x's" and then I clicked on the "x" to cancel the sync. I then tried to quit iPhoto and it warned me that iPhoto was trying to sync and presented me with the option of "cancel quit" or "stop sync and quit." I chose "stop sync and quit" but that did nothing... iPhoto just stayed open. I looked under "Force Quit" and iPhoto was NOT listed as not responding.

I tried to quit iPhoto again with the same two options presented to me. I finally did a force quit.

What gives?
