iphoto 11 removing facebook albums

What version of iPhoto? Details are critical

As documented Facebook and iphoto sync (stay the same) - so if you remover photos from either place they are also removed from the other place - di you delete these photos in either iphoto or FB?

If you do not want syncing then you should not be using iphoto to upload as that is how it works

The only save way to remove Facebook albums from an iPhoto Library without removing these albums from Facebook is to remove the Facebook account from iPhoto before deleting the abums in iPhoto.

Dear Weeskee,

Did you ever get any solution to this problem? I just had this happen today when I tried to upload a single photo from my photo library to Facebook. After I pushed the upload to Facebook button, an iPhoto pop up appeared saying that a Facebook Album had been deleted, then when I closed that pop-up, another one instantly appeared saying another FB album had been deleted. I was horrified and went over to FB and sure enough, both titled albums were gone. I'm really mad, like not a little mad. I'm due for a computer laptop and iPhone upgrade and this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that makes me want to go back to regular PCs and droids. Why the heck would trying to add a photo to FB result in a deletion of two FB albums. While the photos may still be in my computer library somewhere, they are not in the titled album as they were on Facebook.

Like you, I was not deleting anything, I was adding one silly photo, and it didn't have anything to do with the other albums which were deleted.

I went and took a class (five years in) on my iPhone a few months ago at the Apple Store because I was having so much trouble with the iphoto/cloud/etc and picture deletion, and while the teacher was Apple-snarky, I did learn some of the nuances that were messing me up. Problem is, why do they make it so complicated and when you need help, you have to have four pages of instructions and videos? I still can't upgrade my system because the iCloud and Photo issue is still in limbo. And I don't want to lose my pictures!

This whole thing has soured me once again, after being an Apple lover and defender for many years. I am so losing the love. And my son's Honor Society Induction album is also gone, as well. The first one deleted was the album of my cat's adoption. Honestly, I am so annoyed. Grrr..

Please let me know if you found any resolution to the problem you had.

Thank you,

Thanks, Larry. I actually was not deleting anything at the time. I was trying to upload a single photo from my iPhoto Photo Library to my Facebook page. I do not know how or why the other full FB albums were signaled for deletion. It wasn't from my keystrokes or actions. It was random. And it appeared it was going to keep going one after another, too. I'm my panic, I shut off iPhoto so it wouldn't continue its deletion mode. Then I checked Facebook and sure enough, the two listed albums were gone. Along with all the photos and comments.

Any ideas? Seems like the OP here had the same issue. I wish there had been an update. I realized after I posted that this original question was a year old.
