Aperture doesn't save book layout, book disappears

I start to create a book in Aperture. Then I quit Aperture. When I relaunch Aperture, the book no longer appears in the project. However, if I explore the database using "show package contents," I can see a file with the book's name. Why won't Aperture save my book layout? Why does the file appear to exist, yet the book doesn't appear in the project? Can I recover the in-progress layout?

Yep, that did it! Rebuilt the library as instructed, and the book layout reappeared in the project. Many thanks for the simple and effective solution!

Is it possible to save book layout to be opened on another Mac?

I'm trying to figure out how to save a book layout of images to be opened on a much faster Mac. Is this possible? Allot of time was spent creating this layout, and I'm hoping not to have to recreate, but to save the layout and images to a external hard drive shared. Please help. There are to many cooks in the kitchen to be passing around a lap top. A PDF just won't cut it.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Can't wait to get a G5

kaphotography:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not in the way you're thinking of. What you'll need to do is duplicate your library, rename it Book Library, open it with iPhoto and delete all the photos that are not in the book and those you think might be added and then copy that Book Library folder to the fast Mac. You could try to share the library with all of the other Macs but that might be much more difficult that the Book Library method.
Do you Twango?
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.

Switching back to Book Layout Editor

As I'm arranging my pictures in my first Aperture book, there are a couple of photos that need a few simple adjustments. For the most part, this means lightening some of the darker, shadows, areas. I'm editing my book in "Split View" mode of course, within the Book Layout Editor mode. If I double-click on a picture thumbnail at the bottom and switch from the Library to Adjustments tab on the left-hand side I can make my simple changes. When I'm done, how do I "escape" the adjustments window? If I click back to the "Library" tab my book is already highlighted. If I double-click the book under the lists of projects in the Library tab, it edits the name of the book but I don't return to the Book Layout Editor mode. My single picture I just made an adjustment on remains on the screen. If I click the "Split View" icon in the toolbar, I get back to the split view of all my pictures in the book but there's still no Book Editor Mode... What am I missing? I can get back to the book by selecting another project (or book) and the re-selecting the book I was just working on from my list of "Projects & Albums", but this seems really klunky. Depending on which project I choose, this takes a moment as well. How do I return to my book after making an adjustment on a picture?

Thanks for that. I thought I had clicked on every icon possible already. To get that icon back, though, I still have to switch from "single" image back to "split view" first. Is there a keyboard command for that besides cycling through the views?

Using Aperture, I printed a large hardcover book. Upon delivery, I found a gross error in wording on the cover. Is there a way to get the cover only reprinted?

Using Aperture, I printed a large hardcover book. Upon delivery, there was a spelling error on the cover of the books. Is it possible to get just the cover of the books reprinted correctly?

No. If Aperture works similar to iPhoto as far a creating PDFs of the book you can create a pdf of the book and using it find a printer like Kinkos that could print a new cover. The PDF file that gets created by Control-clicking the background in the book mode will create the correct type of pdf file for this:
Click to view full size
In iPhoto the PDF that gets created when you try to print the book and select PDF ➙ Save as PDF creates the wrong format for what you want. If you have trouble creating that PDF file ask over in the Aperture forum.

Change book layout master

i have searched and seen this question asked, but not answered. i want to change the book layout so that it starts up with the metadata format that i want rather than having to change each page. there must be a way to do this permanently rather than changing the masters when i start a new book.

Without doing a lot of experimenting with this, I presume a workable solution is to create a dummy book that has your custom settings. Then duplicate that book whenever you want to start a new book project.
Otherwise it probably requires using BBEdit to amend the book layouts in the Aperture Package folder and I wouldn't know where to begin with that (well, I have changed fonts that way).

IBook Doesn't "Feel" Like A Book

So played around with iBooks Author for the last few hours and I've come to the conclusion the iBook doesn't feel like a book.
Where is the standard book "layout"??
You get a page of text and when you get to the bottom you "turn/flip" the page? I really not like this whole scroll through your chapters/pages.
I do like the interactive parts, like adding a video, it's rather cool, but still like the old feel of the epubs.
Will this come? Is it there and I've overlooked it??

It's a new world. You used to have a book, now you have an ibook. That i makes all the difference, that and electronic circuitry and electricity. We no longer read, we interact. We used to hold a book and turn pages, now we drag and swipe our fingers over a glass plate. What we see and hear, and how our brain processes it, is a new experience for us. Evolution progresses. It's a new world.

LR book layout change

I've been using lightroom since it first came out and published several books with the book module. Today I have come upon a new problem.
I cannot get rid of a 4 photos per page layout. I have changed the setting on the right to single page after clearing the layout but no matter which collection ( old or new) I use I can only see
the same old 4 photo per page layout after hitting autofill. Help!!

How do I save an iPhoto book in progress for editing over a period of days

It is automatic - you just go ahead and come back when ever
And your regular backup will capture everything when it backs up your iPhoto library

Blackberry desktop software doesn't connect with address book

blackberry desktop software version 2.4.0 doesn't connect with address book on a mac os lion (10.7.4). Sync contacts not possible. Use a BB 9500 v5.0.0.841 (plateform 4.2.0.380). Any solution ?

You have both Desktop Software and Link set to open when a device is connected to your Mac. You need to go to the settings of Desktop Software (I don't recall exactly what to do but there should be some settings in the top right corner) and set it to not open when a device is connected. Once you have it set to not open when your phone is connected, make sure that Link is set to open. That should resolve your issue.
Let us know if that helps you.

[BUG] Upgrade corrupts photo book layouts!

Here's something to add to the plethora of bugs in iLife'11. Whenever I open a photo book that was created with an earlier version, I briefly see the "Upgrading photo book…" message, and after that, all photos are default-zoom and centered at their spots in the book layout!
I have >20 books in my library and a lot of effort went into making their layout just perfect. The problem does not yet appear in iPhoto 8.1.2, I have been experimenting with several "upgrade paths" from iPhoto 7.1.5 to iPhoto 9.0.1 now. It is clearly a problem in iPhoto 9.
When going directly from iPhoto 7 to 9, by the way, you lose all the key photo selections that you have done in your events (>200 for me…), as already reported here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12495859&#12495859
So if any of you are also keeping their photos in nicely layouted photo books, I strongly recommend waiting with the upgrade to iLife'11 until Apple fixes the upgrade process to NOT destroy any data.

Same problem here with all photo books!
iPhoto '11 does in fact display a warning after the update, something like "update successful, but please check before ordering". Well, I checked, and I found all books are corrupted (zoom and offset are wrong as described above).
This dialog however is a pathetic way of dealing with the (apparently known!) problem, Apple!
Even worse, I noticed that TimeMachine backup (inside iPhoto) does not list photo books, so the only way back (after wiping iPhoto 11 from the hard drive and re-installing the previous version) seems to be to replace the whole iPhoto Library manually (I sincerely hope that the photo books are stored in there and not anywhere else - does anyone know for sure?)
There also is no way to export a photo book (apart from non-editable PDF) and to re-import it on another MacOS installation (with an earlier version of iPhoto), is there? So until I find a solution and the time to try it out, I need to keep my pre-update backup of the whole iPhoto Library. And I must not make any significant changes to the new library, because there very probably is no way of merging those changes into the old one.

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

Save a iphoto book

How do you save an iphoto book project. I am not done with my project and would like to finish it later. I am afraid to close iphoto and turn off my computer because I don't know how to save it.
Many thanks!!!

It saves automatically - just quit iPhoto normally (file menu ==> quit)
