Unable to add Flickr account to Photos.

Hi there,

I'm attempting to add my Flickr account to Photos and I am getting an "unable to locate account" error.

I have confirmed that I am using the correct account name and password.

I can add a yahoo account using the same log in information without issue.

I can log into Flickr on their web page without any issue using the same information.

I can post to everything else from Photos.

My Mac is up to date and I am using the most recent version of Photos.

I am getting no other errors or experiencing no other issues with Photos.

Any help would be great.

Error message in Photos - Internet Connection Required I get the following error messages in Photos when I try to start a slideshow even when connected to the internet and when I store all my photos on my MacBook Pro. I see a number of other users with the same issue and yet to see a solution posted. I have tried other internet connections (my personal hotspot even) and also turned on and off iCloud storage in preferences with still the same errors reoccurring. Does anyone have a solution?

Can someone please at least confirm Flickr integration with Apple Photos is broken. I feel like I'm crazy. I'm posting this because this question has been asked a number of times and either (1) people respond with a recommendation to add Flickr to "Internet Accounts" in System Preferences or (2) assume that using the "cloud arrow" (upload) icon on the Flickr site is what people are missing. Neither of these are responsive to the basic question. I am using OS High Sierra and Photos 3.0. (1) System Preferences/Internet Accounts will no longer accept a Flickr login as valid. I've updated my Flickr login and have confirmed that it's updated in Keychain, so no issue when I go to the Flickr site on Safari. However, even though the login is valid in keychain, System Preferences will not accept that log in as valid to add Flickr to the "Share" (box with up arrow) menu in Photos via System Preferences/Internet Accounts. (2) The "cloud arrow"on the Flickr site (and the Flickr Uploadr app) are not integrated into the Photos workflow. In order to use those, you have to export your image from the Photos app and then upload the image as a file from your desktop. This is a significant change from having the ability to choose images in the Apple Photos app and use the "Share" function. I have been a Flickr Pro account member since at least 2011 and have been using the share button (box with an up arrow) in Photos (formerly iPhoto) since then to add images to my Flickr account. I'd like to understand what broke and why Apple is no longer accepting Flickr logins in System Preferences/Internet Accounts. So please don't tell me to use the Flickr "cloud arrow" or the Flickr Uploadr - I am asking why Apple will not accept my Flickr login in my System Preferences/Internet Accounts anymore.
