How to Re-authorize iPhoto ’09 with Flickr
If you have deleted your authorization in Flickr for iPhoto ’09, it’s not entirely intuitive to reactivate those permissions. What you will get after deauthorizing iPhoto ’09 and attempting to upload to Flickr through the application is the following error message:
“Login failed. The login details or auth token passed were invalid.”
But how do you get iPhoto to talk to Flickr again? What you will need to do is go to your hard drive > Applications > Utilities and then open the program called Keychain Access. There, you can search for “Flickr” and you will see two keychains as in the image below:
Keychain Access - Flickr keychains
Highlight both of those keychains and delete them. Then go back into iPhoto ’09 and click the Flickr button. It will prompt you to setup the authorization again so you can upload pictures directly from iPhoto ’09 into Flickr.
