Download Someone Else's Facebook Album

Welcome to Apple Discussions,

How an I download an entire album from someone's facebook page to my iPhoto without doing it one photo at a time?

__iPhoto accepts whatever pictures you drag into it. What you would need is a way to bulk download all the images from a Facebook gallery to your computer. You could then drag the entire group to the iPhoto icon and it will be imported to iPhoto. However, looking at the Facebook website I see no 'bulk download' option. You may wish to contact Facebook support to find out how to do a mass download from a page (if that is even possible).

Also, I've read that iPhoto can be set to synch with your facebook photos... how does this work exactly?

How iPhoto and Facebook work together (from the Help menu in iPhoto): http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/24890.html
For any new Mac user I highly recommend reviewing all the video tutorials as these offer an idea of what you can do with your applications: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/

Hope that helps!

Refresh Facebook if already open. To download all photos, go to a user’s Photos. To download albums only, go to Photos > Albums. To download one album in particular, go to Photos > Albums and open that album. Click the Ensky Album Downloader button in your Chrome toolbar. Give it a few minutes.
Access the Facebook album you want to download and click on the album cover photo to open the album. You can access your albums by clicking on the 'Photos' icon on your Page and then selecting the 'Albums' tab.

Facebook's album-sharing feature makes it easy for people to share photos with their Facebook friends. Although some Facebook users grasp how to view a user's Facebook albums right off the bat, others may find it a little tricky. You can view Facebook albums by clicking the correct button on a user's Facebook profile.

Log in to Facebook. Navigate to the profile for the individual whose albums you want to view. If you are already friends, click the name of any friend on your friend list to go to his Facebook profile.

Enter the individual's name in the 'Search' box at the top of the Facebook page if you aren't already friends and select him from the search results. Click the 'Add as a Friend' button at the top right of the screen to send a friend request to the individual and wait for his acceptance. Most Facebook albums are hidden from everyone except friends, so it is important to be friends with the person before viewing the albums.

Click the 'Photos' link on the left side of the screen under the individual's Facebook profile picture.

Click the name of the album that you want to view.

Click on the first photo in the album and then click the right arrow to look through the rest of the photos in the album. If you want to view only a specific photo from the album, click on the photo to view it.
