Title on spine of hardcover book cut off

Hi!
I've been ordering books via iPhoto for many years and was shocked at the latest batch I received this week.
I had chosen to do a hardcover book with wrap around cover. The title on the spine was cut off, featuring only part of it which was odd and looks strange. It should match what is on the front cover.
As usual, I did a preview before ordering it. The spine was not visible in the preview and I had no way of actually making any changes to it since
I can't see it in iPhoto.
These books are Christmas gifts for my family and I'm horrified that it was printed incorrectly.
I'm hard of hearing and can't use the phone - I have not been able to contact Apple since they only list phone numbers - does anyone know how to connect with them directly via email? Help!
Here's an attachment that shows the problem.
> Mac OS X (ver. 10.6.8) iPhoto 11 - ver. 9.1.3 (607)

The group you want to get in contact with is called Print Products, they are part of the Apple Online Store. You are correct, they do not have an email contact, only support via phone. I did see on the Apple "contact us" page a support number for hearing and visually impared, says they have advisors trained in accesibilty services, they may be able to help. the number is 877-204-3930.

Credit Scroll - Title Effect - Cannot Adjust Border - Text Cut Off

QUESTION:
How can I insert 2 - 3 paragraphs into the credit scroll text effect, format it so the sides of it are not cut off, and prevent Final Cut Pro from reverting back to the default text that comes with the video effect?
SUMMARY:
I am trying, in vain, to copy and paste 2 - 3 paragraphs that I want to scroll across the page as if they were credits. Furthemore, I am trying to justify the whole thing to the left. The left and right edges of the paragraphs are cut off when I render the video using compressor. There is some kind of white box that holds the text. It appears to be the boundary of the text effect.The text bumps up against the boundary, but I cannot easily tell the text to give itself some space between it and the white boundary. If I double click the text effect I bring up a few difficult-to-use formatting tools. There are little white circles and triangles that appear to represent left tab, center tab, and right tab. Everything I do with these circles and triangles seems to have no impact or screws it up. To further complicate matters it seems when anytime I interact with this rudimentary formatting tool set I cause the entire text effect to default to its original form. I have to quit out of Final Cut Pro and reopen it and repeat the process by repasting the text.

I gave up and just made an image in photoshop. I then keyframed the image to scroll across as the credit scroll effect should have done.

IPhoto Slideshow to iDVD, then dvd to television: titles cut off.

iPhoto '08(7.1.5) and iDVD '08(7.0.4)
Created a slideshow in iPhoto using 16:9 format. Exported to iDVD and set dvd to 16:9 format and burned the dvd. The slideshow shows fine on the computer, and the dvd preview also looks fine. When taking the dvd to the television, both a widescreen HD tv and a standard 4:3 tv, the dvd distorts the pictures and the titles on the upper left are cut off. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks
Kelly

Kelly:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I believe you can get the entire slideshow image into the TV Safe area this way:
1 - go to your User/Movies folder and locate the slideshow QT file that iPhoto saved there during the export to iDVD.
2 - open iDVD and, using the "+" button create a slideshow.
3 - drag the QT movie file from the Movies folderinto the slideshow window.
4 - go to the iDVD/Slideshow preference pane and check the "Always scale slides to TV safe area" checkbox.
5 - go to the main menu and delete the movie that was added directly by iPhoto.
This will scale the movie to the TV safe area and keep the titles in the viewable area.
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. 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. 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.

I've made ibooks and the paper covers have a picture & title, But the hardcover book shows no picture is just black with the title. My friend made an ibook, the hardbook & cover had the picture as the paper cover. How do I get my ibook to do the same?

I have made many ibooks and the paper covers have a picture and title. But the hardcover book inside is black with only the title. ie: Year 2013
My friend made a book and the paper cover had the picture and title, but the hardbook also had the picture and title. It looked just like the paper cover.
How do I get my next book to do the same?

What version of iPhoto?
DIfferent themes have different layouts available for the cover - pick one that you like

Tabs cutting off duplicate page title prefix

I'm not sure if this issue is new with Safari 4, as I didn't use Safari 3 much, but I have noticed that if there are two tabs open with similar titles - that is, the titles have the same prefix - Safari cuts off the duplicate prefix from both tabs. While this is useful some of the time, it is pretty annoying most of the time. Is there any way to turn this behavior off?

Gallery title text cut off and cover image not updating

Hello,
I've been struggling with this for a couple of weeks now, and it's driving me mad. I've been making a book in iBook Author on my iMac (10.10.2). When I preview it in iBooks on the mac it all looks fine, but when I send it to my iPad2 (iOS 8.2), which I do via dropbox, the front cover image reverts to the default for the template I choose, and gallery and interactive widget title text gets cut off (see attached pic) regardless of the size I make it, or the indent I specify.
I've tried deleting the book several times, restarted the iPad, and whatever I do it still appears the same.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Kev.

Hi Christine,
When you say " It's not there when viewed outside of Cp/swf. Using v5.5.l", does that mean this problem only occurs in a specific output?
Try this -- Go to preferences-- SWF Size and Quality and under customer, uncheck Advance Project Compression, republish the course and check the results.
Thanks,

How can I prevent Firefox from cutting off the title of a webpage for use as a file name when printing/saving as PDF if there's a / in it?

Like it says in the question - when I try to print/save a webpage as a PDF, Firefox (version 36.0, Windows 8.1 64bit, German) usually uses the page's title as the file name. Slashes are, of course, not allowed in file names, but instead of just leaving leaving it out or replacing it with a hyphen, the title is cut off and everything before the last slash is gone, which in some cases results in very odd and misleading file names.
Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything. So I'm just wondering if there's either going to be a fix anytime soon, or whether there is a simpler solution than to generate a different title sans slashes specifically for Firefox users.
Thanks in advance for Your help!

There is more than one proxy type.<br />
Only an anonymous proxy will hide the IP and build two connections, one between you and the proxy and a second connection between the proxy and the website that uses an IP from that proxy.<br />
A normal proxy merely passes all traffic without affecting it, so websites see your IP in such a case.

I bought an iPhone 4S last year. Today was the 5th time that one of my Audible books was suddenly cut off 3/4 into the book.The solutions offered to correct the problem did not work. Next phone won't be an iPhone. And books will go on different devices.

Does anybody else have problems with Audible books being cut off in mid-listening, and none of the solutions suggested comes even close to being applicable? It's my 5th time in a year. And I've had it. The interruptions and consequent time consuming attempts to find a solution, and once I do, again spending way too much time finding the place in the book, where I was so rudely interrupted have pushed my patience to the limit. I downloaded my books on different devices, and use my iPhone for calls and texting. Once it's time to get a new Smartphone I'll stay far, far away from any Apple product. I don't care to waste time to get my smartphone to do what it is supposed and offering to do. And I am really getting ****** of when I am driving in the middle of nowhere, listening to a good book and Apple decides that that would be a good time to put a stop to that. Mostly I wanted to get a response from Apple Support, and am not sure how I was channeled into an Apple Support Community (what a ridiculous term!). My problem is with Apple itself. But not for long anymore......

Anything?

Text / Titles Get Cut Off After 3 Lines?

I did some searching but couldn't find a discussion on this. When I add a Title of any kind and try to fill it with more words that fit on the screen (in vertical space) it just cuts them off at the bottom. I've attached an image that shows the third "wednesdays" text in my project and you can see it cuts off the bottom of the Y. If I add a fourth "wednesdays" you don't see it at all. Using the transform tool only stretches the text, it doesn't increase the vertical space available for more text. I am running Lion if it matters.
Has anyone found a fix for adding more vertical space for text or is this a known bug? Or am I missing something really easy?
Thanks!

You should turn on the TV Safe Area and make sure that everything that you care about is within this area. Anything outside the area is subject to the over-scan of TV sets.

Song Titles Get Cut Off

I have decided to convert all of the music on my computer from MP3 to AAC format, but when i convert songs the titles tend to be cut off after 35 characters or less. A good portion of my music has rather long names in the file titles because some of them have either those featured on the song or the name of the album within the file title while they are MP3, but after having converted them to AAC this causes an inconvenience because the title will be cut off at odd places such as just after the "artist - album title" or for example if the song title itself was "portion of the song title" the newly created AAC file will only display "artist - album title - portio" rather than "artist - album title - portion of the song title" as would be preferred. I have tried turning of the option of "Automatically retrieve CD track names from the Internet" and this has not helped at all.
Is the shortening of the song titles simply an issue that I will just have to live with or is there some other option/possibly downloadable patch that could stop this from happening to my selection of music? I would love to convert the music to AAC but i also enjoy not having sore eyes and a headache from tedious tasks like copying and pasting the song names from a website into the file names for hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it wouldnt be such a problem if the conversion process just cut out the album title in the name of the file, but it's the fact that the album title remains part of the file title and the song name will be cut off instead so when viewing the files in the folder they all have either the exact same name minus and appended number or they all have only a portion of the title to the track

Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues

Exporting movie to idvd, titles cut off

After searching other users problems w/this issue I've tried switching the movie aspect to 4:3 (standard), no luck. Title/captions that are in the upper left, lower right get cut off. In idvd you can use the tv safe area to help you avoid problems like this, but there isn't one (is there?) in imovie.
ONCE exported to idvd is there a way to shift the captions/titles over, so they are completely visible?
OR do I have to go back to the movie & re do all the captions/titles?
thanks!

Folder Titles are cut off.

Hi Guys,
I need some advice on why my album folders are not complete but only cut off. Long Album titles are reduced.

Hi Garth,
If the *Keep iTunes Music folder organised* feature is enabled iTunes will rename files and folders that are within the iTunes Music folder. If you add files to the library or make changes to tags the files will be automatically renamed to reflect this. The general layout is:
<Artist>\<Album>\[<Disc No.>-]<Track No.> <Track Name>.<Ext>
If *Part of a Compilation* is true then a value of Compilations will be used instead of <Artist> above. Likewise, if the *Album Artist* field is set this will be used to set the <Artist> value which will make a difference if there are guest artists credited on the album or have a Various Artists album not marked as a compilation. The <Disc No.> is only prepended to the filename if there is more than one disc in the collection. All characters which are invalid within filesnames are replaced with an underscore. File & folder names are truncated to 40 characters inclusive of extention. If two or more files would have the same filename, the second filename is (where neccesary) shortened by a couple of charaters and given a trailing index of 1, the next 2 and so on. (Earlier versions of iTunes would replace the existing file with the new one of the same name potentially destroying data - although long since fixed this is another reason for my preference.)
Whether disc & track numbers are included in the filenames used to be optional within the iTunes preferences and, if desired, can still be disabled via a suitable hack.
If you disable the *Keep iTunes Music folder organised* option these rules will still be used for any music that you download from the store or rip from CDs. Likewise if you have the option *Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library* enabled and import files from outside the iTunes Music folder, the new copies will be created with the same naming conventions. What will be different is that if you make a change in iTunes this will not be reflected by updating the filename. If however you name files according to your own conventions and then add them to the library, iTunes will not rename them. Unlike Windows Media Player, iTunes will lose track of any files you manually rename so if you do go down this road you then have the extra effort of removing and reimporting files that you choose to modify.
I should make it clear that manually organising my music folders is a personal preference and not one I necessarily recommend to others - it's a lot more effort for no real gain. For a long while I had an iRiver H140 which I synchronised with my music folders. To make the iRiver easier to use I created a folder structure which separated out some sections of my library from others e.g. Comedy, Classical, Soundtracks etc. I also set my own rules for invalid character replacement and for compilations appended the artist to the track name. Although I no longer use the iRiver I prefer to keep this structure.
I used to keep the bulk of my library in the Windows "My Music" folder and only let iTunes manage the podcasts however the last time I did a full rebuild of the library I put everything inside the iTunes Music in order to take advantage of the ability to relocate a self-contained set of iTunes library folders. I know I should really commit to iTunes and stop worrying about exactly how my data is orgainsed but there it is... we can't change our nature.

When I share video to my macbook it cuts off opening titles and starts vid a few seconds in. I have tried making titles part of timeline, not appending them, but it does the same either way. Any advice on how to get it to include opening titles?

I'm having trouble getting FCPX to share my entire video, it cuts off the opening titles and starts a few seconds in when I share to my MacBook. It's my first vid so I've done a few daft things like editing the audio after I put the visual together, so had to detach it and re-attach it. Is this the possible root of my problems?

Hi Tom
Version 10.0.5 FCPX. Can't send screenshot at present. However on all three versions of the video I have in Projects there is a shaded area on the left at the start. Shaded from top to bottom over the credits and sometimes over the first two or three seconds, this extends to the left and fills the project box before the 00.00 counter and the timeline starts. This only appears when I expand the timeline so I can see the clips I've attached. It's not visible if I just have the timeline and no clips or audio showing. I think it corresponds to the part the export is cutting off. I'm self-taught from tutorials and handbook and it's all new to me, no editing experience prior to the last two weeks.
Couldn't upload to Youtube at all, though it did go to Facebook, but with two audio tracks playing, so export is proving a bit tricky. Also after attempting to share two different versions of the vid an icon has now appeared beside it's name in my Projects next to these two versions showing an audio sign and triangle with exclamation mark. Another version of the vid has the same icon and freezes the computer when I try to open it and is just a black space where the timeline should be. I can't even Move To Trash. I think there may be an audio problem: the main timeline footage should have had audio but was silent, probably a mistake made when it was shot. So I synched audio. However, I think there is audio on the main footage but just unavailable to me. Could be this is messing it up? I'm clearly doing something wrong! Also as mentioned, edited the audio after I'd synched it, so had to detach the synched audio and re-attach an edited version. Could be I went wrong there. I just highlighted, deleted and attached the new audio.
Might download an unexpanded version and see if anything's different. Failing that may go back to scratch, synch edited audio and try again and just not put on start credits. However, could it just be a bug in the software? Would re-installing help?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
