Anyway to create an iPhoto book with text & no image on cover?

Would like to create a book with text only on the cover and no image. The only options with text require an image as well and as a result the pdf preview shows the square designated for an image (when no image provided). Any help/suggestions appreciated.

Hi Richard,
In this community, "It cannot be done" means "It cannot be done with Pages '09."
The document in question was, obviously, produced using an application oter than Pages.

Is there a way to create a flipping book with the flipping 5k adobe software?

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.

Cannot buy IPhoto book with version 7.1.5. Can I save it and buy it from another newer mac? How do I save it?

Spent a lot of time creating an IPhoto book for Xmas gifts. When I went to purchase the books I was then told I was not able to buy any product because my IPhoto version was outdated. I tried to update to latest IPhoto version but was then told I was not able to because my IOS operating system is too old.
I tried to update to Mavericks but I was told my Mac Mini is not able to accept the new operating system.
Looks like I need to just buy a new computer to buy some books huh?
Any other ideas? Thank you.

but was then told I was not able to because my IOS operating system is too old.
1 - IOS is not a Mac system - it is only on mobile devices
2 - teh version of the OS is not a determination of abiliby to purchase print products using iPhoto foe the Mac - teh version of iPhoto is the determining factor
so are you saying that your version of iPhoto is too old? I think so
You can run iPhoto '11 on OS X 10.6.8 - you must purchase an iLife '11 DVD (anazon or eBay are sources) and instal iPhoto '11 - the new version of iphoto will update your library (books may change some so

When i am creating an iphoto book my pictures looks blurry, is it going to be like that on the real book or is just the software?

What resolution are the photos? What size are the photo frames are you placing them in? Are you getting the yellow low resolution warning triangle on them?

Is it possible to add additional fonts when creating an iPhoto book?
I have some additional fonts that would add a lot to the overall appearance of my i Photo book but cannot find a method for installing them into iPhoto.
Thanks for your assistance.

Use the Edit ➙ Shot Fonts menu option to bring up the Fost selection pane.
From there you can select any font you have installed on your Mac.

How do I create Equal Height Columns with my Background Images?

Hi there,
here is my page http://www.allthingsprintuk.co.uk/ATPHome.html
My problem is that the side bar HTML list is coming off the page in IE. & also the html in the header can look awful due to browser settings.
My question is how do I create Equal Height Columns with my Background Images so that they fit with the HTML text? Is there a good link you can point me to, or a tutorial?
The only way I can see by doing it is slicing my images up into 3 (top middle & bottom) & then setting the middle to repeat y????
Or does anyone know of a way to create rounded corners WITH drop shadows in CSS that will work on all browsers?
Thanks in advance

Can I print book with text blocks instead of photos?

I have spent all day creating a book to print which included a photo on front, poems in place of photos on all pages (which I'd previously made into jpgs by creating layers in photoshop). I get to the ordering stage and I get an error window saying:
DEFAULT TEXT: your book appears to have default text that has not yet been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue with your order?
SO what does the above mean exactly?
And is it not possible to print text pages instead of photos?
Iphoto doesn't appear to give an open to type text on each page, but maybe iphoto 6 (iLife) does???
And how come it's not possible to ship my order internationally?
Thank you in advance for your help in answering my questions

I haven't printed out an iPhoto book myself, but the message you are getting seems to indicate that you did not fill in some parts of page templates. If so, then those parts will print blank even though iPhoto shows them containing default text. You probably wanted them blank anyway, though.
As for using iPhoto to print out a book with only one picture, that is probably doing things the hard way. If you want to print a book of text, there are now web options to do so costing about the same as an iPhono book. I don't think iPhoto is going to add templates sson for non-photo books.
As for overseas shipping, that is probably an issue of duties and shipping costs. Many US sellers on the Web will ship only to the US or perhaps Canada.

IPhoto books- Delete text boxes?

For several pages in an iPhoto book I am making, I do not want any text or descriptions. However, there are empty text boxes whose outlines are still showing up. I don't want the pages to print with the text box outlines. There is nothing typed in the boxes and I have tried deleting them, but I can't figure out how to.
For the portfolio theme, the layout options include the text boxes. All the pictures are situated how I want them, but I just don't want the text box rectangles showing up. Any suggestions?

Most page layouts offer one with and without text boxes. Check the layout menu at the bottom to see if there's not one without text for your theme.
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: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

Book with text

I watched the tutorial on making a book with iPhoto but they didn't say much about inserting text. Is is possible to have a page of text opposite the photo or insert text along with the photo on the same page? Thanks.

There are variety of choices when creating a book in iPhoto. You can choose different layouts within your book. The types of layouts available will vary depending on which page of the book you are on as well as what theme you are using.
Open your book in iPhoto and click on the "Layout" button at the bottom. You can then go through all the different layouts available. Some of them include text opposite a picture.
You cannot directly insert text on top of a picture in a book. You can use the pre-built templates that are offered in Layout. Some book Themes include caption boxes under the pictures so you can type in text there as well.
See this article from the Help menu in iPhoto for more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6308.html
Hope that helps.

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.

Iphoto book default text Question

I have completed a Iphoto book and when I select "Buy book" in Iphoto a box appears and says "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?" What does this mean?

text boxes include Latin looking default text - this message means that in the book you have a text block with no text entered and as it says. it will not be printed -- it is a warning not a fatal error and you can still order - but be sure to preview first as the printed book will match the preview

Can I create a iPhoto card with blank inside?

Would like to create simple 5x7 cards with blank white inside. Any recommendations on how to so do?
Thanks,
Phoebe

That text you see is place holding text and doesn't get printed if you don't delete it or replace it with a space. However, if you don't replace it with a space you'll get a warning when you go to purchase that there are empty text boxes. You'll have to tell iPhoto to go ahead with the empty text boxes.
It's always been that way.
