What resolution is my book being uploaded at?

Hi,
I've read on a few forums that all books uploaded from iPhoto are now uploaded at 300dpi.
Previous versions of iPhoto were reported to only upload the small books at 300dpi and the medium and large books at a lower resolution.
Can someone please confirm what resolution the iPhoto books are now uploaded at (for all sizes), and when/if this changed - i.e. what version of iPhoto.
Thanks,
Drof

here are the default settings for iPhoto '08
"com.apple.iPhoto.plist" :
defaults:
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookTargetDPI -float 300
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookTargetImageDPI -float 150
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookTargetMediumDPI -float 300
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookTargetMediumImageDPI -float 150
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookTargetSmallDPI -float 300
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookTargetSmallImageDPI -float 300
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookThumbSize -float 149
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookThumbSizePinned -bool false
defaults write com.apple.iPhoto BookWarningImageDPI -float 130

<false/>
<key>BookWarningImageDPI</key>
<real>130</real>
</dict>
</plist>
Generally the max is 300 dpi and the warning come up at 130 dpi or lower - so it depends on the size photo etc
If you use your largest photos and if you get warnings select a smaller photo frame in your book you will be fine

What is being uploaded from my Macbook?

I've just acquired Telstra Ultimate Mobile Broadband service, and the connection manager reveals large amounts of data being uploaded all the time. How can I find out what is being uploaded?

Won't tell you exactly what data is being sent, but Little Snitch will tell you what process is sending it, and will allow you to block it.

Use whatever resolution you have, iTunes will convert (to lower) if needed, when i tadds them to the iPad.

Poor resolution on iPhoto book

I just ordered the large softbound iPhoto Book from Apple and am very disappointed with the poor resolution of the photos. My original files were 1280x960. Is there any way to find out if my photos are being uploaded at the highest possible res? I've read other posts about changing preferences, but haven't been able to figure out how to do that at my end.
Thanks!

Emily:
The easiest way I've found to modify preference files is with Pref Setter. Once you've located and opened the iPhoto preference file do a search for "dpi". Then change the values for the Keys BookTargetImageDIP, BookTargetSmallImageDIP and BookTargetMediumImageDIP to 300. Save and close Pref Setter. That's it.
It's interesting that you found the large book images to be poor. There was another user that received large books from both the east and west coasts. He found the east coast book to be of lower image resolution (greater halftone pattern) than that from the west coast. All of my large size books have come from the west coast and have been very good, with or without the resolution change in the preference file. Not so with the medium size books. There were patterned no matter what resolution was set in the preferences.
Good luck.

Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK & USA and why old movies are being uploaded .
I believe the apple should be universal in all the products and a small island like Malts should have the same products for sale on ISTORE like of the UK and USA.

The iTunes and App stores are inherently different in different countries. Local laws on copyright and other limits on the distribution of intellectual property make it impossible for Apple to simply put everything in every store. Sometimes, the owner of the intellectual property does not allow it to be distributed everywhere. Keep in mind that Apple does not own the music, books, movies and such that they allow for sale in their store front, so they do not necessarily have any say in what may, or may not appear in what store.

Songs being uploaded to ITUNES

Appears that ITunes is uploading music that I loaded from CDs' to my Ipod to ITunes store. This takes a long time (Sometimes an hour or more) and meanwhile I am unable to play the songs being uploaded to Itunes, What do I do?

Hi,
You can tell if songs have been processed by match by adding iCloud status column to song view. To do this go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
This will tell you if the songs have been matched, uploaded, purchased, duplicate, inelligible or waiting. What is status of missing tracks.

I have an imac 27 inch O SX 10.6.8. using iphoto 11 Version 9.1.5. I have scanned some photos at very high resolution with each photo being about 45MB. They're saved to desktop. How can I reduce the size of the scanned photo's they are crashing iphoto

What format are they? Tiif? Jpeg? You can compress them with a lot of apps - including Preivew and just about any graphics editor out there. I'm not sure that 45mb would crash iPhoto thogh, are yo sure that's the cause? I know that some folks have mentioned pixel dimensions causing issues, as can color profiles.

My imported songs into itunes match are not being uploaded but they are giving error messages

So when I am adding songs to my itunes library I am having issues with these songs being uploaded. I called apple support last time and they fixed the issue with me but it's started all over again. These songs have the little cloud with an exclamation point beside them and they say an error has occurred when uploading when i click on them. I have turned itunes match on and off and that didn't resolve the issue. Any ideas?

When you have that alert icon, generally that means iTunes can't find the original file. What happens if you do a Get Info on the track?

What resolution should I use?

I'm trying to creat a special graphic image to upload onto iWeb, but t always is A LOT smaller once loaded onto iWeb, what resolution should I use to create the image initially? I've ried 72 dpi but it still came out tiny.
Thanls

ThanX Kevin;
That's the core of the issue I'd also had with taking those suggestions into PhotoShop and then back to iWeb. Tu whit..:
In instances of some larger graphics, I've found a conundrum of going from one to the other not reproducing the image as the same size. I can paste back into iWeb something just copied from PhotoShop, and it'll be a third the original. How to deal with that.?
When I tried to increase my 'canvas size' and then blow up the graphic, I'm told that the "Clipboard export failed because it is too big to export."..? Yeah, it's a whole page graphic that I'd blown up almost 3x so that it's import into iWeb would be close to the original (out of iWeb).
So I tried various test graphics to see which yielded what. It would seem for my CS2 and iWeb1.1.2, there's some upper threshold, beyond which iWeb will only accept/display it around 300 pxs.
What's wrong with that picture.? How come I seem to be forced away from the recommendation not to resize in iWeb.? Or is there some secret combination to getting large (almost full page) images into iWeb without have to adjust them.?
Also I'd found what seems an anomaly with the idea of file size increase with iWeb adjustment. I checked my locally published files for pages I'd tried to use an image for background. The png size is declared by the finder to be 36K; but the original, a jpg, is listed as 76k. This seems the inverse of what I'd understood to have been recommended; particularly so for me when I'd set iWeb up to manipulate this image to fit the page by selecting "stretch". What's wrong with my understanding here.?
and so; what IS the definitive best way to get large size graphics into iWeb as small size files..?

When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, but it won't let me import my pictures. And when I want to close iPhoto it says "Photos being uploaded to iPhoto library, please wait to finish uploading," but I am not uploading anything.

When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, however it won't upload. The "import" button, I can't click on it. It won't upload. And when I want to close out the window of iPhoto, it won't close, I get a message saying "photos being uploaded to iPhoto library," but i can't even upload. This has been like this since late April...

What version of iPhoto?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How to edit/delete a book I uploaded?

I have two books that need to be deleted from the bookstore so I can upload the corrected version. How do I do that?

I asked support this question months ago.. The answer you cannot delete books once they are in the store.
You can withdraw them from the store by setting Price and Country rights control to none ( de-select all)
You can use the same title and product ID to re-make your book and upload as an update.
If you have any worries or concerns.. best option is to contact support... which is what I did to get the answer above!!

HT1349 I am loading pictures in the photo steam photo but they are not being uploaded to the cloud. I have enabled the pictures on the windows PC but how do I "force" the upload?

I am loading pictures in the photo stream folder but theya er not being uploaded to the cloud. How do I "force" the upload from the PC to the cloud? I have followed the instructions and enabled the photo stream with the correct folder on the PC...

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 if necessary.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

The folders under iCloud Drive are not being uploaded to iCloud

I seem to read similar problem reports in this group but I want to make sure that indeed it is the same problem I am having. I moved all my folders to iCloud Drive some weeks ago and they were being uploaded to the cloud since then. In total I have 150 gigabytes of folders and about 100 are uploaded to the cloud which I can see in the settings of iCloud under system preferences. I realise that during the last week nothing is being uploaded anymore. There is still about 50 gigabyte of files that need to be uploaded automatically but nothing happens. I do not understand how the upload process works. What determines when the upload takes place? What determines how much of my files will be uploaded today and then the next day: because sometimes the upload used to take place the whole day while at other days only for a few hours. I definitely need a clarification here. Could some please respond?

If you're talking about photo stream:
Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position. If grayed out, check Restrictions in Settings>General.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Note that when photo stream is turned on, only pictures taken from that point on will go to the stream, not existing photos. For those, sync them to a computer using itunes and USB cable.

What resolution is supported in video?

I'm uploading a lot of my videos from my cameras (iPhone, GoPro and Canon 5D). I see that my file formats are supported - but i wonder what resolution is supported and used.
In particular:
- downloading the file again later - is this the original file?
- when streaming - is there a maximum supported streaming resolution?

Helge-
Videos are saved in Revel in their original format. When you download the video from Revel to your computer, you will download the original format. For playback online, we also generate and save 720p and 360p H264 video renditions with an mp4 extension.
