Start an iPhoto Book with the Pictures in a certain manual order

I have 200 pictures in a specific order but can not get the Book to load the pictures in that order so I can more easily create the book.
How can I do this?

From your description you left out the most important step: use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and add  one mintue between photos.
Without that step you won't be able to get them into the book in the order you'd like.
Note:  if you're worried about messing up the photos' dates in the library for general use try creating a separate library just for your book.  You can move the album of photos into the new library by using  iPhoto Library Manager. This will allow you archive the library for ordering additional copies or editing without having to worry about the book being compromised in your main library.  This tutorial describes it in more detail: iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • IPhoto Book with Missing Pictures

    I submitted this problem via the Apple support site but have not received an answer. I am hoping someone visiting this forum might have advice.
    I ordered a 50-page hardcover 8.5x11 iPhoto Book (theme: Modern Lines) that I created using iPhoto 6.0 on a G5 Mac running OS 10.4.4. This was my first iPhoto book. The book, when assembled, looked perfect in the main book window, and I also saved a pdf of it, which was (and is) perfect as well. When the book arrived, I was very pleased with the quality of the printing, except that seven photos (some but not all of the photos on four separate pages) were not printed in their places in the book (there is just white space there).
    I then opened the saved file of the book within iPhoto on my computer. When I went to the pages where the printed book is missing photos, I was surprised to see the following. In the main book window, the photos appear initially, for just an instant, and then disappear. In the main book window I then just see white spaces where the seven photos should be (just as in the printed book). This was not the case when I first created the book and placed the order – all photos were present in these places in the book (as the pdf I made just before placing the order confirms). Also, curiously, on the pages with the missing photos, even now the photos do appear in the small images of these pages in the page browser at the top of the iPhoto window, although as mentioned, the photos do not appear (except initially for an instant) in the main book window.
    I have since updated to iPhoto 6.0.1 and OS 10.4.5, and the book appears the same with missing photos in the main window, but appearing correctly in the browser.
    As you can imagine, I am very disappointed to have spent $70 for a book with seven of the critical photos missing. I assume that there is some bug in iPhoto causing this problem. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Any suggestions?

    I looked on the forum for iPhoto 5, and found a discussion of a similar problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=315857&tstart=45
    Essentially, the picture you see in iPhoto is a corrupted file. In my case, I deleted the pictures from the library that weren't showing up correctly, emptied the trash, and reimported the originals. Voila! No more missing images. Things are now showing up correctly.

    when I use voice over to read an epub in my Ibooks app, which is in Dutch, sometimes he start reading a book with an English Female voice and some books he reads with the Dutch male voice (which is good). All my epubs are Dutch books so the English voice sound terrible trying to pronounce Dutch. Can i fix this problem? Thanks, Tom

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Iphoto library lacks the picture icon

    Hi all-
    I noticed a few weird things recently with my iphoto-- many video clips lack thumbnails (ie the only way to tell what clip it is is by actually viewing it).  Some are just black/ no video.  Same with some pictures- they're just black/gone.  I tried to recover using time machine- didn't help.  I noticed that in finder, the iphoto library lacks the 'picture' icon and is a "package" file (see attached screenshot).  But- it's the right size and other than what I describe above it seems to work ok.  I made a backup of entire HD with carbon copy cloner.  Even when I reboot and select the external HD iphoto library it looks the same (no icon)- and in fact it won't let me select that "package file" as the library.  I tried fixing with iphoto (permissions, recreating thumbnails etc) to no avail.  At this point I think I should re-load iphoto and see if that helps-- but my concern is that if I delete iphoto and reload that I won't be able to use the library on my external drive since I can't use it currently. 
    any suggestions? 
    I'm using OS X and iPhoto '11, both updated. 
    thanks in advance,
    Brad

    If rebuilding the database doesn't solve the problem you might have to give this a try:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • How can I make a picture fit entirely in the photo box in a book.  The picture size is small, but the it only shows part of the picture, and the zoom is all the way down.

    I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding.  I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
    The picture size is small.  But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller.  Doesn't go far enough.  When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture.  Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out.  I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto.  I have used other sites to make books.  This is my first try with IPhoto.   I may have to revert to the old familiar ones.  Wanted to give this one a try.  My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband.  I am quickly running out of time.  (The wedding was this past Saturday)

    Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame

  • IPhoto book displaying corrupt pictures

    I successfully ordered a number of calendars iLife 08. Image quality was great ... no complaints. HOWEVER, when I received my first hardcover book, I was surprised to see 8 photos displaying what appeared to be corrupt files.
    Subsequently, with the help of Apple Photo Services, I have tried to determine what the problem may be with the photos or if the problem lies with IPhoto! I examined every photo, tried inserting them in various programs, ran some through PhotoShop and all appears well. I followed the following instructions from Apple:
    Our engineers suggest the following troubleshooting steps. I hope
    this will help resolve this issue and allow you to resubmit your
    order:
    1. Close iPhoto and use Software Update to install the latest
    version of iPhoto and Mac OS. For more information on using
    Software Update, see the article entitled
    “Updating your software” at
    docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh292.html
    2. Once the installation is complete, launch iPhoto.
    3. Select your book from the Source list on the left.
    4. Select Print from the File menu.
    5. Click the Preview button on the bottom left. This will create a
    PDF of your book and display it using the Preview application.
    If the PDF no longer shows corrupt images, you may resubmit your
    book order by clicking the Buy Book button.
    If the PDF still shows missing images, follow these steps:
    1. Return to iPhoto and go to Page 25.
    2. Press and hold the Control key while clicking on the appropriate
    image. This should display a contextual menu.
    3. From the contextual menu, select Edit Photo.
    If you can see the photo after selecting Edit Photo, but the PDF
    preview still does not display this image, please let us know by
    replying to this email and we will investigate further.
    If you cannot see the photo after selecting Edit Photo, or you get
    a gray square with an “!” in the middle, then the original photo is
    damaged or cannot be found. If you have a backup copy of the image
    file, you can copy it back onto your computer and import it again
    into your iPhoto book. If you do not have a backup copy of your
    missing image, you may wish to replace the missing images with
    other images prior to resubmitting your book.
    Be sure to preview the PDF of your book (step 5 in the
    “troubleshooting” section above) before resubmitting your order.
    We hope this information helps. Thank you for being an Apple Print
    Products customer. We appreciate your business.
    To date,I have created saved 8 PDF's of the book file and each one shows different corrupt files while at the same time while in iPhoto, all the photos appear okay.
    About to give up and either go back to an earlier iPhoto or just go to an alternate vendor.
    Any help, suggestions or insight is appreciated. Is iPhoto 7. 1.1 really that buggy?
    Bob

    Robert:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You may have a corrupt database file. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. This will rebuild the thumbnails as well as the database file. While you're at it you might as well select the option to repair permissions. See if that makes any difference.
    Report back and we'll go from there.
    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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

  • Is it possible to publish an iPhoto slideshow with the music?

    Is it possible to publish a slideshow with music so others can hear the music as well as see the photos? Thanks. (I have a MobileMe account).

    An alternative method to put the slideshow up for others to view is to import the QT movie back into iPhoto and put it in a MobileMe gallery and publish.
    If the movie is large still another alternative is to import the movie into iMovie and share it from there to a MMe account where you can select multiple sizes so those with slower internet connections can choose a smaller version to play. The following screenshot is the export window from iMovie:
    Click to view full size
    *+NOTE: This screenshot is from the iLife 09 iMovie. I don't remember if the iLife 08 iMovie has the same export options.+*
    What you will get is this type of MMe gallery: iMovie 09 to MMe.
    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 versions) 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.

There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Wrong PC in MIGO how to reverse and book with the right PC

    Hello Experts
    Objective:
    My controller wanted to reverse the Entries From Profit Center A to Book it with Profit Center B, since they use the Profit Center B.
    My detailed Analysis:
    PC = A
    PC = B
    Internal Order was created =  A123  > and had PC = A assigned to it.
    Production Order was created for Material No = M123 with respect to Internal order = A123 >  and has PC = A assigned to it, since Material Master = M123 has PC = A in the costing view.
    When i check the entries it was all  MIGO i saw something strange that these MIGO entries were booked with different materials other than the Material assigned in the production order.
    Any ways even if MIGO would have book with the same Material master but since there is PC = A in the Internal Order and Production order it will default the PC A in the accounting  entries.
    so if we analyze the above scenario, there should be a PC = B assigned in the IO A123 and Production Order A123, then it would work.
    so what would be the solution to achieve my objective, in the above case.
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    It can be quite frustrating to program using the DAQmxBase driver. Beaware, that this is just a temporary driver. The next release of the DAQmx driver will include the usb-600x series.
    When this is said, you should be able to use the driver. To make sure that the device is working use one of the examples found by pressing the windows start button > Programs > National Instruments > DAQmxBase > Examples > LabVIEW.
    The examples will give you a good starting point.
    Also I would make sure that I had the newest version of the driver installed. Following link will provide that for you:

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
    iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed

    Maybe a forum search on "Windows registry" would turn up some useful things. You're not the first to ask this. You might save yourself and everyone else some time if you'd simply do that.

    When a new album is created it will fill with whatever is in the right hand window,  If you're in the Events or Photos mode it will contain all photos in the library.  Yes, strange behavior.

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.
