iPhoto Facebook problem

I've been using iPhoto to publish pictures to Facebook for a while with no problems but recently after a password update with Facebook, iPhoto will no longer allow me to upload photo's.

I'm using the latest version of iPhoto 09 and the latest version of Mountain Lion.

There doesn't seem to be an option to change the password within iPhoto for my Facebook account. I've searched through the Facebook help pages and already had my iPhone and computer registered as recognized devices but the problem with iPhoto 09 still prevails.

Any would would be greatly appreciated!

mid-2009 uMBP: 3.06GHz, 8GB RAM, and 500GB SSD, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iPhoto 09

You could try to remove your old Facebook account from the iPhoto Preferences Account panel and then add the account again and enter your new password; removing the account from iPhoto should not remove your published facebook albums.

See these help pages:

and

leonieDF,

Thanks for the reply but I'm not able to "remove" my old Facebook account from the iPhoto Preferences Account panel. Can you clarify how that is done? I'm running iPhoto 09 (not sure if that makes a difference in menu choices).

I have iPhoto '11, version 9.4.2, so I cannot check what the menu will look like in the earlier version. I thought you meant you have iPhoto 9.x, sorry.

I hope, somebody with your iPhoto version will drop in.

For me, the accounts panel looks like this: I press the +/- buttons to the lower left to add and remove accounts.
