Facebook and Flickr with Aperture on Macbook Pro

I have set up both a Facebook and Flickr account in Aperture. They work great and like how easy they are to use. I do have a problem though.

After using my Macbook, I close the screen and leave it. When I come back and open the screen, sometimes Aperture gives me an error that says:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

There was a problem connecting to Facebook.

The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -1.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------

After clearing the message it comes back in an endless loop. Am I doing something wrong? Should I exit Aperture before closing the screen evertime? How can I clear this error without killing the application?

Thanks.

I have exactly the same question, and have searched for a solution, but no one seems to have one - in the mean time all I can do is force quit, and un link my aperture and Facebook accounts.

This is not much help, but I don't think it's an infinitely loop. I suspect the number of times you get the message is related to the number of flickr sets you have in Aperture. If you are patient, and click the OK button enough times, it will go away.

I really don't like force quitting - especially Aperture. I have always been able to "outlast" Aperture by clicking the OK button enough times.

Yes, this error message is annoying me as well. It definitely seems to be due to the computer waking from sleep and I'm having to try and remember to quite Aperture before letting my iMac go to sleep.
