Iphoto uploading to facebook in duplicates and then deleting the album

is reversible or at least preventable!

If you upload directly from inside iPhoto, Facebook will sync with your iPhoto albums - if you delete or edit on Facebook, it will delete from your album in iPhoto and vice versa. It is much less trouble to export any album you want to publish to your Desktop and to use the web interface to upload to Facebook.

On a side note, iphoto also trys to "import" ghost images it has that never show up but every time i open the app, it asks if i want to "import 7 photos" and then says

"The photos have been placed in the folder /Users/zachargenbright/Pictures/iPhoto Library_26.photolibrary Recovered Photos."

That looks to me like your iPhoto libray has become corrupted, due to a crash. There are a few photos in your iPhoto library, that are no longer connected to thumbnails in the Browser. iPhoto will place them into a recovered album, since none of your photos is connected to them.

Make a backup of your iPhoto Library and run the Library First Aid Tools to rebuild your iPhoto library. To run the First Aid, hold down the key combination ⌥⌘(alt/opt command) while double clicking the iPhoto icon to launch iPhoto. Run both "Repair permissions" and "Rebuild database" from the First Aid panel. There is probably a permissions problem as well, if your recovered photos keep reappearing.

to stop the request to import "ghost" photos right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents - find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desktop - do not make any more changes of any sort - and launch iPhoto - your message will be gone

Then open the import(ing) folder on the desktop and see if there are any photos you want in it - if there are import them to iPhoto and then delete the remaining photos and the folder
