Facebook Exporter and Aperture 3 Multiple Account issue - FB Personal vs FB Page

Hi,

I have a Facebook page (for my Photography Businss in progress) associated with my facebook account (personal, peeps I know only). I swap between these within Facebook.

Need:

I want to upload images to my Facebook Page sometimes to get followers and promote my business rather than my Main Facebook.

Problem:

I can't.

Reason:

Aperture required me to sign in to the addition Facebook account in Pref's/Web with an email address and facebook login BUT THEY ARE THE SAME!

Now I don't want to disassocaite my main facebook with Aperture, as I use it, but I need to promote my business and I have now used my Perment URL with my associated Page, so can't create a brand new Facebook account with different email and password to get arround this.

Seems stupid to me that Aperture doesn't understand this.

Any thoughts?

Are you reporting that you can sign into more than one Facebook account with the same email address?

As it tuerns out, I've exactly the same issue.

Thing is, they're actually the SAME facebok account, just so happens that you have personal and business pages, but you use the same email/password combo to log it.

I would like this sorted too and have requested it several times using the Feedback option. In the meantime I use DropBook which allows me to send to my personal profile, my Pages and to any groups that I belong to. It can be purchased from the App store for a small fee.

Just adding, DropBook also allows me to use Export Presets so images can have a watermark etc.

Hello mjmphoto,

I would really appreciate clarification on how you use the Export preset with watermark to post Aperture pics to facebook with Dropbook ?

Thanks if you can help!

Hi pagodroma

It has been a while since I used it now and on looking cannot see how I did it. It is possible I set a hot folder that I exported to with a preset that brought images back into another folder in Aperture, then dragged them to the DropBook icon, but not sure. Sorry.
