iPhoto 9.4 is not handling "FaceBook" albums properly

I have the same problem. Everything looks fine until it is done communicating with Facebook, then my Facebook album in iPhoto shows 25 pictures. Album on Facebook still looks fine. When adding more after this, they show up in Facebook, but not on the Facebook album in iPhoto, it stays at 25 photos

Also having problems. After sharing to facebook have to go into Facebook to approve the photos. Also faces identified in iphoto are not transferring to Facebook.

This has only happened since 9.4, before tags were transferring and approval wasnt needed

Or remembering shared status in main photo library

Hi everyone. I spent about an hour with an AppleCare rep (Jeremy) on this issue last night and he said he had no documentation about this. Took me until this afternoon to find this forum, so I thought I'd throw an extra note up here to add my story.

About 3 days ago I upgraded from iPhoto '09 to '11 (v9.4) and had an issue where iPhoto would crash when uploading to Facebook. Removing / Adding my Facebook account into within iPhoto helped a little but didn't keep the program from crashing. A call to AppleCare helped find the fix: removing the iPhoto-related .plist files in the Library folder.

Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue with the 25 picture limit. I tried uploading a new album with 80 photos after deleting the plist files, and during upload I could see all 80 photos listed in the Facebook album within iPhoto. As soon as the upload was over, the album suddenly changed to only 25 photos (but all 80 are visible on Facebook's site). Jeremy recommended I send feedback through apple.com/feedback, so we'll see if they contact me like Jametait. Thanks for posting this thread!

This is not a reply but a report of a further problem between iPhono 9.4 & Facebook. While looking at facebook I opened iPhoto which seemed be doing things in the background evidenced by the beach ball delaying much activity. Then I started getting messages that a photo album on Facebook had "been removed from the Facebook section. The photos it contained are still in your iPhoto library." It gave me three of these messages with only the option of [OK] before bringing up another album that had been deleted. I think I may just force iPhoto to quit at this point before all my albums linked to iPhoto are removed. It won't let me quit while this is going on.

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion from Leopard and then upgraded to iPhoto 9.4 from the previous version. I did notice a couple of empty events right away but haven't used it much yet. I see many other posts that there are problems in iPhoto 9.4, with encouragements to wait for Apple to fix this. Sounds like a good idea for now. I will just stop using 9.4 until there is a fix from Apple. Fortunately I made a partition with a copy of my old Leopard system. So I will use that with iPhoto until there is a fix.

Glinty,

I was running into similar "Album deleted from Facebook" errors and slow operation before the program crashed on me. You may want to try going into iPhoto Preferences, select the Accounts button, and remove the Facebook account and close iPhoto. Once it closes out re-open it and re-add the account. I saw this solution on other community posts and saw it helped a lot of people out.

I had to go through the App Store application as "Software Update" said my system was up to date and didn't see the 9.4.1 update. However, it looks like this update has solved the issue in the end. Thanks for the update, Team Apple!

I got the 9.4.1 update & it seems to be better, although it still said it was deleting an album from Facebook. Funny thing is when it says that it doesn't really do it.

I am on 9.4.2 and I uploaded a few albums. Facebook loaded only 1/2 to 1/3 of the photos, and refuses to "approve" the remaining photos for posting to my album, even though I keep clicking "approve."

Any ideas on how to fix this? Is there some daily upload limit I am unaware of?

Thanks!

I have tried all the solutions here, and they do stop the crashing, but don't allow uploading of more than a few photos.

After a few photos, the upload ceases, and everything then gets stuck.

It really does seem that the connection between iphoto and facebook is broken.

Is there any other way to upload? I woudl like to upload photos directly, but can't work out how to get the facebook uploaded to see the photos inside iphoto.

Use a web browser and upload from it

Access the photos the same as always - use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

yep... I had been looking in the wrong place in the menu. Seems it needs to be done through the FB uploader now. I have delinked my iphoto from facebook. A shame, as that had been a useful feature. At least it still works with Flickr.
