IPhoto 08 won't let me buy a book

I keep getting a message telling me that there are frames without photos, even though all frames and text boxes are full. Help - I need to order asap for Xmas.

I am having the same problem and now my book is all horked after trying desperately to get it to work. I thought Mac software "just worked"... anyone have an answer here? I would hate like **** to take my photos to FlickR and have to create another book.

  • IPhoto 6-won't let me buy a book!

    So I decided to make a book as a suprise to the grandparents this year...finally collated all of the pictures, did the layout...clicked 'buy'
    it gives me the warning that I have some lo-res photos...I know this & understand & don't care, I still want them in the book the way I laid it out...so I click 'ok' to the "One or more photos in your book may print at too low a quality based on the design you have chosen. Do you want to continue?" prompt...
    at which point NOTHING happens....I quit, I restart...nada...bupkis...same thing
    anyone else seen this? any ideas on where to go from here?
    TIA

    Michael:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not the low res issues that's preventing the process from going further. It seems to be an issue with the application. First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. See if that will help.
    If you have another account you can log into it, create a test book with a couple of images and see if you can start the purchase procedure over there (you can abort the process as soon as you get to the order window). If it doesn't work there then it's probably a problem with the application and you'll need to reinstall it. as follows:
    >Reinstall iPhoto, update to 6.0.4 and then again to 6.0.5 ( the 6.0.5 updater works only 6.0.4). The repair disk permissions again. I'd make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file inside your library folder just in case. It will get you back to your current situation in the library in case of any problems. If you have room a temp copy of the entire iPhoto Library folder would be a good idea also. You don't want to jeopardize the work you've put into the book.
    If you do try a reinstall of iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    If it work in the other account then there's an incompatibility in your primary account and you'll need to do some more troubleshooting. Give the above a try and post back.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

  • I want to buy a book I created in iPhoto.  I want to leave blank some spaces in the photo layout, but the app won't let me "buy the book" unless all the layout spaces are filled.

    That is correct - you must have a photo in every photo frame to order

  • .Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

    Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

    How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
    See:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Is that the message?
    "your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
    The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
    Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
    Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

  • IPhoto 11 won't let me buy book due to unplaced photos, but they are there!

    I have created many photo books in both iPhoto and Aperture and this has not happened before.  I click on the Buy Book button and it says I have unplaced photos and takes me to a page that clearly has all the photos placed. Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    You are missing one or more photos - usually on a page requireing a full page photo that is behind places photos - every page must have either a photo or a colored background - if you have any grey backgrounds thoses are problems - in several years I've never seen that error be incorrect

  • Ordering books-iphoto 08 won't let me buy books i made in previous versions

    help! i just upgraded last night to iphoto08, but tried to order books i'd made in previous versions today and i'm getting the message that "item is not available" or something to that effect. the books show up as i made them, but i can't order hard copies. do i have to recreate the books? or is there something i can do?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I had a book, the Storybook theme, in progress when I converted. iPhoto gave me a warning that the theme was no longer available but I could continue with the as long as I didn't try changing to another theme and then change back. However, that theme had the dust jacket feature instead of the photo on the front cover.
    If you still have or have access to iPhoto 6 you could create a new library and recreate the book with that theme and see if you can order it. I'm thinking of trying the same thing.
    Do you Twango?

  • My iPod won't let me buy anything from iTunes or the App Store. How can i fix this?

    I have an iPod 4th Generation thats almost a year old. Recently, I traveled, and when I did, I put my iPod on Airplane mode and when i touched down, my iPod was acting up like crazy! For instance, when i would try and edit certain pictures, it would completely restart itself, and then it wouldn't let me listen to half the music that I had on it. Now that I am back home, I synced my iPod to my computer, and evrything went back to normal... or so I thought it did. Now I can't buy new apps, or songs, or update any of my existing applications. I am getting very frustrated with this and it's starting to get on my nerves!!! I would like to know why this is happening, and if I can do anything to help it. I also tried to re-sync it and it didn't work.

    Dmitri2217Did you notice that the post you are replying to is almost a year old?
    Apple is not reporting any problems currently.

  • Itunes store won't let me buy anything, why?

    ok, i just got up the nerve to buy a $50 itunes card first time, now i feel like i was duped, it won't let me buy anything, i redeemed the points, look in the store and decided the first thing i wanted to get was the ipod touch upgrade, i click on it and it asks me for my apple id password, i enter it correctly click "Buy" and then asks me for the password again and this time instead of the button saying "buy" its says "billing info" now it now takes me to the page and all the info is right, im not using a card because i don't have one and i don't think i should need one because i have the itunes points which is clearly displayed beside my account name on the itunes program. now after i click done it just takes me back to the itunes store home page... so then i think maybe the update just isn't available at the moment, so then i look up the app "video safe" and try to buy it, same exactly thing happens, someone plzz help, im confused as to y i am not able to buy anything, i have the points, id like to use them
    Message was edited by: insightdesigns

    apple should really make that clear, thats the reason i bought the points for in the first place, to get apps and the update. man this *****, ok so pretty much if i don't have a credit card then im screwed right? i can't get the update or get apps unless they are free? are there app cards or something i can buy in order to buy them? kuz i can't get a credit card and i want to get this stuff, and if im not mistaken isn't this bad? its stopping ppl from spending money on this stuff, its cutting profit, if you could use it for all of it then im sure ppl would buy them alot more, kuz its "re-donk-u-less" that they don't have an easier way to get the stuff like apps and upgrades unless you hav a credit card. idk man, is apple going to change that anytimes soon?

  • I have money on my account but it won't let me buy anything...

    Okay, so i've bought a $15.00 itunes card and redeemed it on the store. I got the message that it was valid and that it is now in my account. PROBLEM: I tried to download an app and it first says: buy or cancel. i press buy then it goes to payment info. required. i put my password in and click billing info... I don't know what to do from here... I have money on my account but it still asks for billing info... i have no credit card to put down so what do i do?

    I have money on my account but it won't let me buy anything....
    Yes it will.
    In Canada, you cannot buy apps with iTunes gift certificates but you can buy music, tv shows and movies.

  • I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

    I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
    Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
    My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
    Please help!

    Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
