Curing iPhoto-to-Flickr Woes with Keychain Access

Posted Monday, April 06, 2009

Getting "authentication errors" when trying to publish from iPhoto '09 to Flickr? I was, too, after I'd "revoked" iPhoto's Flickr-access privileges within Flickr while testing something for the next edition of my book.

The Apple discussion boards have the solution: use the Keychain Access utility (in your Utilities folder, within the Applications folder) to delete entries referring to www.flickr.com. After doing this, you can return to iPhoto and set up Flickr sharing.

May this tidbit spare you from the wheel-spinning afternoon I didn't enjoy.
