Exclamation Icon & Photo Book

I'm new to Aperture, but catching on quickly and enjoying it. So far, running great w/upgrade to 2.0 on 13" MacBook. I know this is probably a stupid questions, and I may have the answer, so correct me if I'm wrong or confirm if I'm right.
I'm making a Book with photos of my friend's 25th Business Anniversary. I took the photos with a small Olympus so I could share on the net. When I move the photos to the book pages, I get an Exclamation Icon in the upper right corner of the photo. I'm guessing this is telling me the photo pixels are too small for reproduction for a large or medium book. Am I right? I only ask as I checked the User Manual and could not find any info, surprisingly no "Exclamation Icon" in the E Section of the Glossary.
I now use my new Pentax Digital SLR and have left photos full size keeping this in mind, but would love to hear if my assumption is correct.

You are correct. More precisely it indicates that the arbitrary measurement that Apple sets regarding dpi is being exceeded. This happens a lot if you do things like take a 6 MP image and use a center crop for a double page spread. If you exceed the limit to cause the dpi to go under the threshold that apple sets by even 1 dot per inch then it happens. If it is under by a small amount the book will still look fine.

I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5. Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work. There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library

I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5. Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work. There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone. What is going on? Trying to find it using the "find missing photos" in the library menu does nothing.

Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work?

Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work? I have already spent many hours trying to create a photo album but came across more pictures to choose from. However, I don't know how to get these new pictures into the "list" of potential photos for the book in progress. I can't stand the thought of having to start over by selecting the 2000 photos plus these new ones and starting all over again!?!

I have found more pictures that I want to include. They are, say, in a folder on my desktop. I can't simply pull a picture (or the folder) from the desktop and insert it into the album or the list of potential pictures across the top.
to import into an existing book (which is just a special kind of album) simply drag the photos from their source (the desktop in your example) to the book in the source pane on the left (not to the book in the library window but the book icon in the source pane
Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book
I also tried imported the pictures, from the desktop folder, into iphoto, creating new event. I don't think there is a way of accessing that new event from the album in work/progress.
Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book in the source pane on the left
I also tried merging the new "event" into an existing event that I had selected for the album. That doesn't work either???
That is correct - there is no connection between the source of the book and the book - the book stands alone and you add direct to it in the source pane exactly as you would add to any other album

Is it possible to change the size of a text box on a photo book page

I am a first-time user of the photo book application in iPhoto. I am wondering if it is possible to:
1. change the size of a text box
2. have more than one text box on a page
3. move the text box around.
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions someone might have.

Unable to complete photo book order on ipad

Hi, I hope this is the right place to get some help. Regarding placing an iphoto photo book order on an ipad.
I have been working on a photo book project for a long time, and want to finally order some copies of the book. Everything has worked fine, except that I get a message that I have some clipped text that may be exceeding its boundaries. I can't figure out where this is, no warning triangles are showing, so I choose to proceed with the order anyway. The next page is black/dark grey with a small icon of the front page of the photo book, and it says "done" ("ferdig" in Norwegian) on top. I can click on some words in blue writing on the top right of the page, "add delivery address" (in Norwegian). When I try to type somehing in there, nothing happens.
Aaargh, this is so frustrating! I have checked that my address and credit card info is valid, in my apple id-account(itunes).
Shouldn't there be some uploading of the album? And a choice of how many copies etc I want? I have checked my email and there are no order confirmations, so I apparently havent placed an order yet, despite the "done"/"ferdig" on top of the page.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can I do?

Hey there Nyibyen,
It sounds like you are unable to purchase a project youve been working on for a good long while, but the order process is not working as expected. I would start by verifying you have Express Checkout enabled in your Account Settings when you are at http://store.apple.com, with this info:
You can review or edit your express checkout settings by accessing the Account section from the main navigation bar. Sign-in with your Apple ID and password to view your account settings. Click on the Edit button if you wish to edit your shipping address or payment method. You can also enable or disable the express checkout feature for this computer by moving the slider to the respective position.
From: Express Checkout
http://store.apple.com/us/help/express_checkout_faq
If so and your other billing info is correct, quit all the running apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue is still unresolved, try resetting your network settings and attempting the order again.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Looking for a way to move entire pages from one photo book into another photo book.

I haven't found out how to move pages from one photo book into another. Surely this is possible?
Also on the subject of photo books: it seems that it is not possible to enlarge the size of a text box. Or has anyone found a way to accomodate more than 1 line of text on a photo book page?

You can look through some of the different Layouts available.
Select your page.
Click the "Layout" icon on the lower right hand of the application window.
Above it will appear a "BACKGROUND" section and a "LAYOUT" section.
Immediately below the "LAYOUT" is a drop down menu which will show you all the different options.

Photo Book Issue

I've previously made photo books on shutterfly, ifoto and at walgreens.com without any problem. Now suddenly when I click to choose a photo book the apps at all sites fail to initialize. Screen just sits there in limbo. It's only an issue on my individual Mac (the websites interface without problem on my husbands PC and my kids's Mac). I must have done something to some setting to block this function ... can anyone tell me what? I've already tried monkeying with my security and don't see anything that would impede access to laying out and purchasing basic photo books online.
Thanks!~
Leslie

Repost the image using the camera icon in the tool bar so we can see what you're referring to.
Have you made a PDF preview of the book as Apple suggested and does the 61 show up?
Command (right) - clicking on any page will give you this contextual menu with options for previewing books before ordering:
We always recommend saving the PDF file to compare it with the printed copy when it arrives. That gives you dated proof of what the pdf looked like when ordered. The book needs to be previewed in a pdf as a pdf is what is created and transmitted for printing.
I vaguely remember another post about some errant text in the book but can't find the post now.
Apple is offering you a 50% rebate and will let you keep the existing books. If you error is on the dust jacket you might be able to correct the dust jacket text, create a PDF file and have just the dust jacket printed locally by a local printer like Kinkos.

Photo books - unplaced photos

Hi. I just created a photo book with 100 pages, but I have still have several hundred unplaced photos in my book. I want to create another book using only the unplaced photos from the first book. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

You might try it this way:
Select your Book in the "Projects" section of the Library.
Ctrl-click the icon and select "Duplicate" from the Pop-up menu. This will create a second copy of your book. Open this new Book.
Click the "Photos " tab.
Then press "Clear Placed Photos". Now you'll have a new book with only your unplaced Photos.
Alternately you may set the selector on top to "Unplaced Photos" to be able to select them and create a new book from the unplaces photos.
Regards

Updating newly imported photos into my photo book project

I am making a photo book but I am missing a lot of my photos in the little thumbnails above the project. I started this book awhile ago and it seems that the photos I am missing are ones I have uploaded to Iphoto since I started this project. How can I get the new photos included in the project so I can add them to my book?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To add photos to a book project just drag and drop them onto the book icon in the left hand pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Locking and unlocking photo books

When I creat a photo book and walk away from it for a while, I cannot get back into and continue my work. It automatically locks the book and thinks I am done. How can I lock and unlock? I want to be able to spend a few days working on a book but so far I have to complete it in one sitting. Also, when I had a lower version of Iphoto I could lock and unlock without a problem.
Thank you for your help.
Debra

Debra:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What do you mean by "lock" and "unlock". Never heard of that. Do you mean open? What happens when you close iPhoto and then reopen it again. Can't you click on the book icon in the Source pane and get it back open to work on it?
Do you Twango?

IPhoto/photo books

When I highlight a photo or an album, I don't see the option to select a "Book" under the share menu. anybody know why?

What is your iPhoto '11 version? And your system version? Which country are you in?
In iPhoto 9.5.1 you should see the boo option in the "Share" menu, but can also create photo books from the "File" menu:
Select the photos for your book in the browser.
Use the command "File > New Book"
To add photos to an existing book drag them from theevent or album to the icon of the book album in the source list in the sidebar.
Are all other share options there in the menu? The sharing for books, cards will only be available, if a photo is selected.

IPhoto only shows one photo (first one) when making Photo Book?

I clicked the + to add the album, I chose the "Book" option, but it only lets me use the first photo in the album. The other 60 photos aren't in the view bar above. How do I get all of the photos to appear so that I can arrange the photo book, or do Autoflow?
Also, what am I missing that I used to be able to see thumbnails and I can only see that in Full Screen now?
thanks-

Try selectihng all of the photos in the album instead of just clicking on the album and dragging them onto the book icon. That will add the photos to the book. You can do the same with any photos in the library: just drag a photo onto the book icon to add the photo to the book.

I am trying to make a photo book thats i can put text over a picture

I am trying to create a photo book that allows me to put text over a photo.
The only book that kinda allows for this is the photo essay book but the text box is really small and cannot be adjusted.
The older version of iphoto allowed you to plave a pictures behind a text page and fade the picture into the background.
Can anyone help???
do i need to revert to the old iphoto or is there a way to have a picture in the background with a bigger text box on one of teh photo books now avalaible?

You can still have a photo for a text page background. Go to the layout pane for the text page and click on the photo background icon:
Then drag the photo you want as the background into the page.

Can't Find my Photo Book Project?!

I was in the middle of adding pictures to my photo book project and it gave me the little round "I'm thinking" Icon and it was taking forever, it sat for more than 5 minutes so I did a hard shut down.
When I restarted my Mac my whole project was gone!! All of my pictures are still there in the events section but the project is nowhere to be found. Please tell me I didn't just loose hours of work!? Where does iPhoto store projects by default.
Also I have Time Machine and I tried to back up the entire iPhoto application and still no luck. Is there somewhere where my project is hiding?
Please give me some advice, thanks!!

Dana:
For a quicker and easier way to recover from similar losses in the future see the tip at the end of my signature below. You can run the referenced application as frequently as you want, after every import, every change to a book or calendar, etc. like you would use the Save command in other applications. iPhoto does not have to be closed to use it, just idle. If the problem exists, just replace the damaged database file with the backup version and you're back up and running.

How do I undo clear placed photos - I have 'lost' 40 pages of my photo book

I used the clear placed photo icon and lost 40 pages of work ..
I have a complete back up on an external drive but I am not sure how to reinstate the iphoto data.

I have a complete back up on an external drive but I am not sure how to reinstate the iphoto data.
You need to restore the iPhoto library from your backup. By default yoour iPhoto Library will be in your "Pictures" folder and called "iPhoto Library.photolibrary" (in iPhoto '11). what is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
What kind of backup do you have?
If it is a Time Machine backup, connect your TimeMachine drive and quit iPhoto.
Select your "Pictures" folder in the Finder, and with this folder the currently open Finder window enter Time Machine.
Then dive into the Time Tunnel and go back in time to the most recent date, when your Photo Book was still complete.
Select the iPhoto Library and press "Restore".
When you open iPhoto again, it should now show again all pages of your book.
