If you would like an answer tell us what you are talking about - what are you trying to do?

With the amount of information you gave the only possible answer is that iPhoto does not ask you to authenticate your user ID - there is no such thing as a user ID in iPhoto

An error occurred with the publication of album “Me at home, Mother's Day, 2011.”

Authentication with server failed. Please check your login and password information.

Hello, Larry, above is the Iphoto error message I am getting. I cut and pasted it, does it give you more information about my question? If you have any ideas or possible solutions, I'd appreciate it, thanks. PLM

A bit - it tells me that iPhoto has nothing to do with it but it is a server you are trying to publish to. What server? ME,com? FaceBook.com? Flickr.com? ????

The first thing to do is go to the servers listed in your iPhoto preferences and re-enter the usernmae and password for the service that you have the incorrect information for

Good - note that you ask about iPhoto (this is the iPhoto forum) - PhotoBooth is totally different and has nothing at all to do with iPhoto and is included in a different forum
