I think you've got that photo collection linked to iPhoto so you can't edit it any other way. Try removing it from iPhoto and it might give you the option to keep the collection there -- or may delete them, not sure. Not sure.

Was wondering maybe you know how to get around this without going through the hassle of copying the photos to desktop and so on.

Then creating and uploading photos from there. You can choose any photo from your iPhoto library in a "choose file to upload" type of dialog you get when you select a photo to upload to the Internet. Or, you could drag and drop or export photos from iPhoto to a temporary location and upload those. I just mean logging into Facebook on the Web as you probably do normally.

And why sync photo's? It's called an flickr-iPhoto-uploader, not a 'syncer' In my opinion it is to much. I just want to simplify: that I not have to export from iPhoto first and than manually upload to flickr, but not sync stuff. I hate it when software take's over.

Quick question-i have made three different albums in iphoto but everytime I go to publish the album to facebook it rearranges the pictures (which is very annoying). I want the pictures in the order I have them in the album...I don't know why when i upload to facebook it moves them around? Any idea how to change that? Thanks! Lauren Hi Gary,

Drag and drop the photo from iPhoto (run iPhoto, find it, drag and drop) to the Desktop. This makes a copy of the photo as a regular file. Now go back into Facebook in your browser and change your icon, simply use that file instead of going into iPhoto. Just try it another way.

I want to change my facebook profile pic to a photo in iphoto. So I go to my profile page, move the browser over the current profile pic and "change picture" appears on the upper boarder. I click that, select upload file from iphoto, and my iphoto opens. I select the picture I want but I can't access the "choose" button that is located in the lower right hand corner. it appears to be below the border of the screen and I can't figure out how to make the screen smaller to access the button. When I move the cursor to the upper right corner of the screen, the iphoto screen shrinks and I can see the "choose" and "cancel" buttons, but I can't click on them. I click and the screen gets bigger--moving the buttons outside the lower border where I can't get to them. please help! Thanks! Hi please help me with this infuriating problem.

It seems like you know about the FB and iPhoto link. After I go through my photos in iPhoto and tag them (faces and keywords), is there a way to 'lock it down'? When I publish these to my fb page, I have friends that re-tag based on who has a fb pages (not actually names) so if I have a friends baby tagged with her name they will re-tag with the mother's name (not what I want to have) and it will sometimes overwrite and sometimes not. Can I lock down the re-tagging? Thanks, , HI Gary, I’m not sure if you are still maintaining this blog/site but I hope so. It seems like you know about the FB and iPhoto link.
