Cannot login to Facebook: An unknown error occurred. Please try again later

Anyone else having the same problem? I can't seem to login my Facebook account using iPhoto.

iPhoto --> Prefences --> Accounts --> [+] (Add) --> Facebook

the Facebook login screen pops out but I cannot login. Is this iPhoto related or Facebook related? My account is fine since I can login using the browser.

Is there a way to find out what caused the error? Like an error log?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

The error is with facebook. Go to Privacy -> Apps, Games and Websites on facebook and turn on all platform apps. iPhoto should now be able to connect to facebook, and if you refresh the page you should see "iPhoto Uploader" under "apps you use"

Hopefully that works for you.

Facebook privacy settimgs change almost monthly, right? So can someone please be really specific about what setting in FB and where to find it? I went to Privacy and could not find anything blocked that would affect iPhoto. I am getting this error message and it's making me crazy. I've already had to reset my FB password because of it.

Anybody find a good solution for iPhoto '09 error? So far all of the solutions provided hasn't worked for me. When I log in with an incorrect password, my name, email and picture shows up in iPhotouploader and ask to input a correct password. When I put in the correct password I get an error message that reads, "An error occurred with iPhoto Uploader. Please try again later." I have been using iPhoto for a long time, and this has never happened before! Please help. If I find a solution I will post it.


Thanks

ok, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I followed the adice of Rhelms, and i had to first turn off all apps. that deleted them all, which actually was fine. then when I turned them on, and tried to upload, I got the same error. An error occurred with Facebook Exporter for iPhoto. Please try later. Great. anyone?!

There is some really big problem... people across the world using this version are having problems and posting about it hereand on facebook.


I hope they fix this soon. I have people waiting for me to post photos.
