I can't upload photos to facebook from iPhoto 11 (9.4.3) Message says :"An unknown error occurred, please try again later"

I have a new MacBook Pro 15" Retina with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (just did the combo update)

iPhoto 11 (9.4.3) is installed and freshly updated.

I used to share photos from iPhoto directly from my previous computer (a 2009 MacBook Pro running OSX Leopard).

It doesn't seem to work anymore on my new computer. When I try to connect to facebook, I keep having the same message :"An unknown error occurred, please try again later".

I am in China, where Facebook is blocked, but I have a VPN on (Astrill), simulating a connection from LA. I have no problem at all to access Facebook from Chrome, Safari and Skype.

I am sure that I am typing the right username and password.

I made sure iPhoto wasn't blocked in my facebook app settings.

I tried to delete the account, closing iPhoto and relaunching. It still does not work.

I tried to delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist from Library/Preferences (as suggested on another thread in this forum). It didn't do anything.

It is getting very frustrating and I really don't want to throw my new computer through the room. Anyone managed to solve this issue ?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

It's pretty easy to downgrade a library. Install a lower version of iPhoto and have iPhoto Library Manager rebuild the original library using the lower version to build it. The original is left untouched in case the users wants to go back up in version.

I think etresoft has the correct approach but, again, that's above my pay grade. 🙂

Thank you all for the suggestions.

I chose Astrill simply because it has an option to have up to 5 devices connected at the same time.

It does make sense that either my VPN isn't configured properly on my side (which I hope is the case, because then I could fix it), or that the Astrill software only allow browser traffic (which would be a pain cause I just paid for 1 year subscription)

I contacted Support at Astrill and I am waiting now for their answer.

I'll let you know what comes out as soon as I receive an answer.
