Hi I'm having the same problem as msstormy. I cannot upload some pictures to Facebook. I imported the pictures from my camera. When I get to the "Choose From Library" option all the thumbnails appear. However when I select certain pictures the app shuts down. This has not happened with all the pictures just a few. I tried the earlier suggestions of clearing the app from the RAM, restarting and resetting but it's still happening.

I just received this iPad as a birthday gift 4 days ago so I'm very new to it, although I do own an iPhone and a MacBook. Any help you can give is appreciated.

Is it possible that some of the pictures you imported are in RAW format. While the iPad will display the embedded jpeg I doubt FaceBook would be able to handle a RAW file.

Honestly I am not sure. The pictures all came off the same camera so I assumed they would be in the same format. I uploaded them from the SD card directly onto the IPad. Do you know how I can check the file type?

If you don't know, then it is very unlikely that they were RAW. It is not something you are likely to do by accident, and it would be nearly impossible to mix the formats without deliberately changing the camera's settings.

I don't know of any way to tell for sure on the iPad itself, but when you connect the card a computer it files would have some extension other than the standard jpg or tiff. There are actually several formats that are RAW, so I wouldn't know for certain. I believe CR2 (or variations of) is what most Canon cameras use.

At any rate, I don't have any more ideas at this point.

Though it probably wouldn't hurt to read your camera's manual and see if you even have a RAW mode.

I'm having the same problem - but I took the picture with the iPad. When I pick the picture in the official Facebook app, the app just shuts down. I've followed the instruction for resetting but get the same results.
