IPhoto Book Sharing

I have prepared several books of pictures after taking trips and they are very well done. We order one copy and show it to friends who enjoy looking at it.
My question is can I post the photo book file on a web site so other relatives and friends around the country could review the photo book.
If so please provide a list of such sites.

  • Can iPhoto books be shared for editing by others with iPhoto?

    Working on a project with a client who would like to handle future edits of their photo book on their own. Can iPhoto books be shared for editing by others with iPhoto?

    How do I share the library and book with them?
    Copy the library to a thumbs drive and give them the thumbs drive.
    The drive needs to be formatted MAcOS Extended (Journaled), with the Ignore Ownership flag enabled.
    See this link:  iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    The clients will need to use the same iPhoto version as you are using.

  • IPhoto Book turnaround time & sharing question

    I can't seem to find where it says what the turnaround time is for the iPhoto book. Does anyone know where this information is? Or, can I just order it 2 day delivery & it will be here in 2 days?
    Also, we are making one for my mother's 65th bday but I want to show it to my sisters before I order it...they do not live in the same state....does anyone know if it is possible to email it to them?
    Thank you!

    http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/shipping/ - basically 3 to 4 business days production plus shipping of 3 to 14 business days
    Or, can I just order it 2 day delivery & it will be here in 2 days?
    no

    Not really - they are big files - you probably need to do a print to PDF (or right click (control click) on a grey background area and select preview book from the contextual menu and save the PDF and burn it to a CD and ship it - once you have the PDF you can try e-mails it but it probably will fail on either your end or her's because of the size
    And maybe you can downsize the preview since you will not be printing from it.

  • Sharing iPhoto Book File

    We used iPhoto and ordered an iPhoto book that we received a few days ago. My niece in Houston Tx. (she just bought her first Mac) would like to see the book. I was wondering if there is a file I could e-mail or burn to DVD, so she can open the book up in iPhoto. I did save the file as a PDF (too large to e-mail, so I put it on a DVD, 34.5meg)and can send that, but I wanted to try to have her see it as an iPhoto book...
    thanks...

    Paul:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. With the new iPhoto folder configuration it's a little easier to backup a library in parts. But, the key item here is to be able to reconstruct the iPhoto LIbrary folder exactly as it is now on your HD. This method of backup will only allow you to recreate your library as a separate entity, not add these photos to a new library.
    If you use the iPhoto Share->Burn menu option you can burn selected rolls (enough to fill a DVD disk) and the resulting disk will allow you to mount that disk in iPhoto to view and/or copy files back into the working library (see Example 1). Keywords and comments will be preserved for those photos. The example was a disc containing an entire test library so the slideshow were on the disk also. There is one gotcha you have to watch out for. The size of the burn as reported in iPhoto in the Info window is way less than what will be burned. That's because iPhoto does not take into account the thumbnail files, Modified files, data files, etc. that get burned along with the image files. So if you go this route and start selecting rolls, I would stop somewhere around 4.2G to be on the safe side. My test library is reported by iPhoto at 451 MB whereas the Finder sees 560 MB. So you see the problem.
    If you just want a copy of your current library you can select as many of the Roll folder in the original folder for the first burn to disk. Then burn the remaining rolls to the next disk. If there's room on the next disk burn the entire Modified folder. If not burn the modified folder and all other files in the iPhoto library to another disk. You might want to color code them with labels to make the copy and reconstruction easier. You'll just have to work out what fits and what doesn't without missing any files.
    You can check the sizes of the various folders and sub folders in the Finder beforehand and color code those that will fit on the first disk, etc. Again, let me emphasize that the key is reassembling the parts in the correct configuration.
    Good luck.

  • Sharing iPhoto Book - Burning to DVD

    To celebrate and document our grandson's 1st year of life I made an iPhoto book for his parents. I was VERY PLEASED with both the service and the results. Now, as I prepare to switch from iPhoto to Aperture 2, I don't want to lose my Master Copy of this book. So, I clicked Share, and then burned it to a DVD .... neat. `Only problem is the audio. It seems that "Pachelbel Canon" is automatic ... either because that's what I chose for a wedding DVD I made just before burning the baby's book, or because it's an automatic choice from Apple. I would much prefer to have some of our grandson's favourite music as the background audio. However, no matter what I do, it always comes back as Pachelbel.
    .....What I read says to drag chosen songs to the audio icon. However, unlike for a regular slide show, when burning the book slide show there is no audio icon. ... audio pit, I think it was called.
    So - Thinking I would have better control of the audio if I started from scratch ...... Instead of clicking "Share" and having Apple copy the book to DVD as a slide show, I tried dragging in one page at a time. `Didn't work because the pages dragged in as doubles.
    `Anyone got a solution? ... Or is a Pachelbel Canon audio the only choice with a book?
    Thanks!

    You photos are not corrupted but the library's database file is. Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • "sharing" pages from an iphoto book to iweb

    Hi - I am trying to take pages of my photo book from iphoto and publish them to my website. Whenever I try to 'share' these pages (share-send to iweb-photo page) the photo page part is greyed out. It will only allow me to do it with one picture not a page from my book.
    thank you!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Follow steps #1 and #2 of this tutorial: #6 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
    Then you can get something like this: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.

  • Sharing iphoto book

    How can I share my iphoto book so others can buy it?  Created a book for the family but I cannot buy books for everyone.  I want other family members to view and buy the book.

    You would have to give them the iPhoto library you used to create and order the book and they would have to have a Mac and the same version of iPhoto in order to open and use the library.
    An alternative would be to create a PDF file of the book and send that pdf file to other family members to view.  Then they could order the book thru you. 
    To create a small library that would be easy to send to others see this tutorial: 09 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date.
    You then drag the archived/small library onto a blank CD/DVD mounted on the Desktop and burn the library to the disc. Do not use the Share ➙ Burn menu option in iPhoto. Then mail the disc to the family members who would drag the book library from the disc to the Desktop and open it with iPhoto to order a book for themselves.  Remember only Mac users could make use of the library.
    A possible alternate would be to create a video DVD of the book complete with music.  How to accomplish that is described in this tutorial: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book. The book could then be viewed on a TV set.  I create one of these DVDs go accompany every photo book I create and give as a present.

  • How can I create or customize an iPhoto book theme?

    I am looking for a way to make a new book theme in iPhoto, so a group of photographers can create portfolios with a consistent style. I have had complete success doing this with Aperture, but not everyone has Aperture!
    So far, for iPhoto, I have done the following:
    1. Copied one of the existing themes in /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes;
    2. Renamed all the files, and references to files to my new theme name;
    3. Copied the necessary files in the /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes/Shared folder.
    This works, in as much as I see the new theme in the choices in iPhoto. However, the pages are blank, and not editable. The only way to make them editable again is to change the "CFBundleIdentifier" back to an existing theme, eg "com.apple.framework.iPhoto.Contemporary-Hardcover"
    I have scoured the system, and I can not see any frameworks folders or files identified by iPhoto themes. Is "com.apple.framework.iPhoto.Contemporary-Hardcover" a call to a compiled function in the program itself? In other words, is this something only Apple can alter, or does anyone have any new leads for me to follow?

    This is not an exact match of what you point to as an example, but you might conisder it...

    Play with the various adjustments and see if it is something you can use.

  • Upload freezes when trying to order an iPhoto book

    I've seen that many people have had this problem. I'm trying to order a large (not XL) iPhoto book using my 2012 MacBook Pro. After I click "Buy Book" and enter payment information, the assembly goes well, but it freeezes halfway through the upload every time. I can and have made a pdf of the book following Apple's instructions, and everything worked just fine with that. In other forums, the suggestion is to reboot the computer in safe mode. Is this suggestion only for people who couldn't create a pdf of the book? How will this help with the upload?

    ErinWyoming, I'm sharing your pain. I've ordered 3 calendars in the past with no problem. Even using this computer and the same network. Currently on a MacBook Air running OSX 10.8.5.
    But this order is driving me nuts. I can create the PDF and it assembles with no problem, but gets to either one of 2 points in the upload and basically freezes iPhoto (so freezes quite early on in the upload, or around half way through). I can't cancel the order, or otherwise use iPhoto and the only way to escape is to Force Quit iPhoto.
    I've tried ordering in safe mode, I've tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file as instructed elsewhere. I've tried different Apple ID's and different addresses. I've adjusted my energy settings so that the display and computer never go to sleep and my hard disk won't go to sleep. I've tried uploading at different times of the day. I've left it running overnight (just in case I'm not being patient enough). Alas, no order goes through.
    I'm not sure what else to try. I'm getting to the end of my tether!! Anyone else got some suggestions?! I'm thinking (God forbid), of constructing the calendar elsewhere at this point .... I'm OVER it!!!!

  • Duplicate Photos and iPhoto Library Sharing

    My first question is about sharing my iPhoto library.  I would like to buy a Time Capsule to back up all of my computers.  I've been told not to use that to store all of my pictures, only to use it for backups. I wish there were an easy way to share my iPhoto library between users on the same computer, and combine libraries between computures.  If you know of any easy solution to this please let me know.  Most of my pictures are on my iMac with one account.  My macbook pro has two accounts set up.  I'd like to be able to put them all in the same place, or at least select many to have in just one account for all users to access. Is there an easy way to do that? Could I connect a USB hard drive to my Time Capsule soly for iPhoto? My other question is, when I put pictures in my account iPhoto, and then put the same pictures into my wife's account on the same computer (because she'd like to see them also,edit them ect.) am I using twice as much space on my hard drive?

    I wish there were an easy way to share my iPhoto library between users on the same computer,
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    and combine libraries between computures.
    You can merge Libraries with the paid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager
    Could I connect a USB hard drive to my Time Capsule soly for iPhoto?
    Yes... but.
    Would this be a wired or wireless connection to the Library? WIred is fine. Wireless is fine for viewing.
    However:  A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
    when I put pictures in my account iPhoto, and then put the same pictures into my wife's account on the same computer (because she'd like to see them also,edit them ect.) am I using twice as much space on my hard drive?
    Yes.

  • IPhoto book error when trying to preview book

    When I try to preview my iPhoto book it starts "assembling book" but when it gets to page 14 it fails with the following error "The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.chameleon.componentGenerator error 8.)"
    Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this? Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Are you able to reproduce the issue consistantly with the project. Can you please ask your coworker to publish a blank project and see its working fine or not?. In case if the issue is project specific, then can you please send the .cptx file to us so that we can investigate the issue at our end. Please upload it to a shared workspace(Acrobat.com) and send me the link at [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • Iphoto why does iphoto crashe when trying to change theme on iphoto book.

    i have been trying to change the theme style of a iphoto book i made and everytime i press change theme is shows its loading and never loads or it crashes. help me out pleas.

    HI Rune,
    That is most likely a shared library issue. The Finder is trying to access your iPhoto library without iPhoto being open. Sometimes when libraries are shared, they can become corrupt.
    Go here and read about shared library issues.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sharedlibraryerrors.html#Anchor-Resolving-35326
    The easiest way to fix this is to back up your important data and do an Archive and Install which restores your system software. It does NOT erase the drive, you do not have to reinstall any Apple pre-installed software, ie., iLife applications.
    Go here and read the instructions for archive and install.

  • Creative Memories "Storybook Creator" software versus iPhoto Book

    Have any of you compared the CM product that Creative Memories has for only PC users (or the Mac users who have PC too)?
    I love that Storybook Creator software - and only wish that the iPhoto Book software had all the wonderful "themes" and the ability to have more text! It just frustrates me that CM has such a superior product but that it is not compatible with all the many Macs out there - unless you are luck enough to have the MacBook Pro - which I do. It is a big nusiance to export from iPhoto to a file that is shared with the PC side and then use those photos to import to my pictures and use them for a storybook.
    Ahhhh - frustration!

  • How can I turn my French apple account into Australian one to be able to buy a Iphoto book I've made?

    hi
    How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?

    And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.

  • DO NOT BUY AN IPHOTO BOOK!!!!!!!

    I have been going at it with Apple now for over a month! I ordered a book and it came back with blank pages and with photos not scaled properly. (This was my second iPhoto book. The first one also had several minor printing flaws which we overlooked) I sent three emails via the iPhoto support page and received no replies. Apple promises a response within 48 hrs. Then some two weeks later they had the nerve to send me a survey thanking me for using the web support function and please rate "how we did!" You can only imagine how I responded. I next tried contacted a live person at Apple Care to help me out. I provided them my order number. They indicated that was not a valid order number. Turns out that Apple Care cannot track orders made through iPhoto! No one at Apple Care was even familiar with what an iPhoto book was. I then called Apple corporate hq's and spoke to a "customer care" rep. She assured me I would be contacted within 48 hrs (sound familiar) and my problem would be resolved. I heard nothing for over a week. Calls back to Ms. Graser of customer care were met by voice mail. Finally this week I received a canned response back from Apple. They noted that they would credit the charge back to my card. They also asked if I were interested in reordering my book and if so they would "assist" me. I replied that I was interested in trying to reorder the book. So what does Apple do? Without any further contact to find out why the book came back incomplete (such as a corrupt file or incomlete file transfer), they reprinted the same screwed up book and recharged my credit card for the full amount (including $15 for express shipping)!
    BUYER BEWARE! Apple provides no support or quality control for this product. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Heidi,
    Welcome to the forums, and I'm sorry about your book. I too have ordered a book very recently and also found several photos to be on the dark side, and several too red as well.
    But I believe that there's a "but" here.
    I don't know your professional background -- I work in the print industry (I design pages) and I know how hard it is to get the color correction on images just right, EVEN if your monitor is calibrated and your particular version of image processing software is optimized for use with your specific output device. And that's when a professional is behind the wheel, which I am not.
    My iMac's monitor is not calibrated, I am not trained to make images look their best for reproduction, and I am using a consumer-level application. With a little bit of research on these forums (which you have done), anyone can find out that the reviews on the iPhoto books' quality are mixed... At the very least you'll know you're taking a calculated risk -- as you said yourself.
    I would consider myself a picky customer, but I am not disappointed with the quality of these books, especially considering the price, and knowing how difficult and unpredictable color correction can be. If you have some photos that are good (even if it is only 25 out of 142), then I would suspect the problem is with the "pre-pressing" of these images, not the printing. If the printing was to blame, they would ALL be bad.
    That said, I am still sorry about your negative experience. We anticipate these books to be great, and it's a bummer when they aren't.
    Full disclosure: I am in fact asking for a refund as well on my recent book, and I too don't like the fact that there is no phone support for iPhoto orders. I sent my e-mail 24 hours ago, so it hasn't been 48 hours yet. The reason I am asking for a refund is not due to print quality (I think I am responsible for the color/darkness thing), but because my $57 softcover 8.5x11 book arrived in a flimsy envelope and got bent during shipping. The (cheaper) calendars I ordered the same day arrived in sturdy boxes, so the logic behind that escapes me.
    Anyway. For the future, if you've got a project you really care about, I'd recommend spending a little extra and ordering a "test book" with the minimum amount of pages, using only your most challenging photos, so you'll know how to tweak them for the final book. If it matters that much, the extra money will be well-spent, and in the end, the price/quality factor of these one-of-a-kind books will still be more than acceptable.
    Just my thoughts.
