iPhoto to Facebook problem
Posted by: lh (IP Logged)

I am using OS 10.6.1 and iPhoto 09 v8.1. iPhoto will not recognize my password when trying to send a photo to Facebook. When in iPhoto and selecting a photo then clicking "Facebook" a dialog box requests the email address and password to Facebook. An error message states that email or password is wrong. I access Facebook through Safari. The error message occurs even when Facebook is open in Safari. So iPhoto does not know the correct email/password. Is there some file that can be removed so iPhoto gets the correct email/password?

I now have to export a photo and then upload it into Facebook.

Applications>Utilities>Key Chain

Search for Facebook

I have 2, one is iphoto.apple.com (Double click it) it show account of IPHPublishServiceFacebook

the other is api.facebook.com it show a number as the account name

Both of mine show weird passwords - something I never put in there.

Delete them both and start over

Thank you Fred Also. It worked, the photos were uploaded to Facebook. The Mac OS can do lots of things but when it will not cooperate, big problem for me. Thanks again.
