Apple Photo Printing Disappointment

Recently received two orders from Apple's photo printing service, and we had to bin them both due to inaccurate exposure settings.  The prints and enlargements were very dark.  We calibrate our monitors and have some experience using professional printing services, so the problem was not on our end.
Because it took several weeks for the prints and enlargement to arrive at our APO address, we are beyond the returns period, and there is no email support.
This lack of a contact email address for photo printing services is inconvenient, at best.  Who do we contact for our money back?  Doesn't make sense to bother AppleCare for a $15 incident.

AppleCare wouldn't be able to help with this anyway. You'll probably need to contact the Apple Store and discuss the problem with them. They sometimes have a Live Chat available. Look to the upper-right of this page:

Good luck.

  • Online digital photo printing for site other than apple - how get photos easily onto site for uploading

    Want to use an online digital photo printing site (eg Kodak/Photobox) in conjunction with selection of photos in iphoto.  How do I get the photos from iphoto onto the "other"site?  Drage and Drop does not work.  Obviously not made easy to use a site other than Apple, but the price is better

    I'm having all kinds of problems since loading Lion and I really wish I hadn't bought it yet. Even after the software update today, 1. my modem still won't work, 2. Photoshop Elements produces muddy photo prints, 3. View preferences in windows don't hold,  etc.  Anybody at Apple listening?  Anybody else out there having these kinds of problems?

    10.7 was horrible unstable so I waited until 10.7.1 and tried it again. Well I have to say that it is still a defective OS. I am reverting to Snow as we speak from my carbon clone copy.. This is really the worst OSX I have ever used. It gives me random Kernel panics for no reasons, unstable airport and hundreds of small issues that are just not necessary. For instance I can't use QuickTime in Lion to trim a videoclip ( the UI goes mad and the trimslider becomes inoperable and hangs the Player window ) while in Snow it is no problem. Itunes gives me crackling sound when the equalizer is turned on, Graphical glitches in Photoshop, games crashing, Preview.app not working with some pdfs, so I need Adobes reader which I never used before.. It is definately not ripe for mass usage. Might 10.7.2 or 10.7.3 fix it, but not yet.
    * and just for the records : the hardware is absoltely ok. Because in Snow it works as it should. ( So many Lion fanbois are talking : "your Ram is defect", defintely NOT. - Lion is defect! ).
    Shame on you Apple.

  • Epson Stylus Photo RX680 with Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2 won't pair

    This post describes my problem, but I couldn't reply since it has been archived:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7882399&#7882399
    I am having the same issue with an Epson Stylus Photo RX680 and their Bluetooth Photo Print Adapter 2. I go to System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Set Up New Device, click Continue, select Printer, and click Continue. At this point, the Bluetooth Setup Assistant sends me to the Print & Fax System Preferences window. I can add the printer under the Bluetooth heading. It finds the drivers and adds the printer to my printers list, but a test page (or anything else) won't print. The job is added to the queue, but it stops trying to print after a few seconds. If I go to the Bluetooth System Preferences, I can see the printer listed (for a while), and I notice that it is connected but not paired.
    If I run the Bluetooth Setup Assistant and select Any Device instead of Printer, I see the printer in the list and can view the Passkey options. It is set to "Use a specific passkey", which is what I need. I have tried changing it to a different option and then changing it back, but it does not seem like this has an effect on how the printer is paired. I have never been asked for a passkey when attempting to add this printer, and I suspect that this is why I cannot print to it.
    I have also tried enabling and disabling Bluetooth sharing, and this does not seem to have an effect, whether "require pairing" is checked or not. Isn't there some place where I can choose "Pair this device" once it has been discovered? I find it strange that I can connect to it but have no option to pair afterward (at least that I can find). To make the matter more complicated, the printer disappears from the device list in the Bluetooth System Preferences after about 30 seconds, so I have to remove the printer and reinstall it in order to see the it in the list again.
    I am able to print to this printer using bluetooth from a Windows XP machine, so I don't think that there is a problem with the adapter. I am also able to print to this printer using USB, so I don't think that there is a driver problem. I believe (though I certainly could be wrong) that the issue is that the device is not paired. Can anybody help?
    Thank you.

    I was trying to find a way to use the Epson drivers because the Gutenprint drivers don't support duplexing or feeding out of the front tray on this printer, but at least this got bluetooth printing working. I downloaded the latest Gutenprint drivers (5.2.2), ran the uninstall program first to get rid of the old drivers, and then installed the new ones. I added the printer through the bluetooth heading in the Add Printer dialog, and I selected the RX680 Gutenprint driver (which was not available with the default OS X 10.5.5 installation). Once again, the printer showed up as connected but not paired in the Bluetooth System Preferences, and it disappeared from the device list after a few seconds, but printing works now. The print quality for this printer is much improved by the new drivers as well.
    Bluetooth setup is mentioned in the user documentation. It's kind of a joke:
    Macintosh computer: Double-click Bluetooth File Exchange in your Utilities folder and follow the on-screen instructions.
    That's it. I have been disappointed with this printer on a number of occasions. If you are going to connect directly through USB, then it's probably fine. If you want to use any form of network connectivity, you had better be running Windows on any machine involved.
    I'll talk with Epson support to see if I can get any further with their drivers. Since it's supposed to work, I'd like to see if I can get it to happen. Otherwise, I'll return the adapter and share the printer through a spare desktop.

  • The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  When I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.

    The photo print quality from my Mac to my Epson Artisan 810 is poor.  I just purchased my iMac for my photography business in Jan. (this is my first Mac).  When I first tried printing, I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I expected it to be.  Then, I had to print 4-3.5x5s on a sheet, so I e-mailed the image to myself and opened it on my PC to print it (much easier to print that way on PC in Windows Photo Gallery - I think it's impossible to print that way in iPhoto).  That's when I first noticed that when I take the same photo files (JPEGs) to my PC to print to the same printer without even uploading them to the PC, they print brighter and crisper from my PC.
    I've already been on the phone and e-mail w/Applecare many times over this issue. We've tried creating a test user and printing from there, and we've tried reinstalling the OS.  I've tried printing from iPhoto, ImageCapture, and Preview apps/utilities, all w/the same result - no comparison to the PC-printed versions (no enhancements have been performed on the PC).
    I'm out of ideas, and so is Applecare.  They say it's most likely a driver issue b/c the printer is outdated, and that the only solution is to buy a new printer.  BUT it is a pain for me to purchase a new printer - it takes days of research due to the nature of my business and the fact that I need a printer that can print directly onto a disc.  I love this printer and don't want to have to buy a new one if I don't have to.

    Yes.  I've checked for updates, and the driver I installed is the same as the one on Epson's website.  I also spoke with Epson Customer Service, which was a dead end.  Apple says the problem is due to an Epson driver issue (blaming Epson), but Epson says that with the older printers, it's actually Apple who creates the driver, so the problem is actually with Apple.  Typical he-said, she-said...
    Maybe not. Probably worth checking here:

  • Using an external editor with Apple Photos

    After upgrading to Os X 10.10.3 today and using the new Apple Photos app for the first time, I was very disappointed not to find a way to edit photos in an external editor, as I could do with iPhoto. Sure, I can export the image file, edit it in another program, save it, and then re-import it, but that is somewhat of a kludge IMO compared to the smooth way this function worked in iPhoto.  I'm happy with the expanded editing options available within Apple Photos, but some things simply can't be done within it. Please, Apple, make adding this capability a priority task for the first upgrade to Apple Photos! Or is it available already and I just missed it?
    Regards, Jim

    In my case,  I open Photoshop Elements, then choose Open File.  I find the photo that I want to work with under "Photos".  When I am finished editing, I save the file to "Pictures" giving it a name I can remember.  Then I import it into the new version of iPhoto (called Photos) from "Pictures".
    The Media Browser in the Media section of the Sidebar is very convenient to use the library in other apps, but it will not always pass the original Master file to the When you are using the Media Browser like this, you will get mixed results, depending on whether the photo already has been edited or not.
    When I pass a photo to PSE using the "Photos" icon in the Media section to PSE
    For an unedited photo, PSE will receive the original master file, not as copy, but the original in the Masters folder in the library.
    For an edited photo it will receive an optimised version and not the original file, stored in "resources > modelressources" in your photos library.  As far as I can see, the photos in "modelressources" are the same pixel size, but have a higher JPEG compression than the originals in the Master folder.  The file size is slightly less.
    So, for edited photos you may be using a lesser quality image file, when you access the library using the Media Browser.
    Be careful, when you open unedited photos this way. With "Save as" in PSE you can write your edits directly back to the Masters folder and overwrite the original master file.
    I just tried to edit an unedited photo this way in PSE:
    That is how the Photo looked in Photos before editing:
    After editing a frame in PSE 12 I am seeing this "Save As" dialog in PSE:
    It will write back to the Photos library into the Masters folder.
    After allowing PSE to overwrite file it received the file, I am seeing this, when I try to edit the version.  Photos is now using the replaced original file, that PSE wrote to the Masters folder.
    I duplicated the photo in Photos before sending it to PSE, but since the duplicate is sharing the same original file with the first version, now bothe the first image and its unedited duplicate are both showing the frame added in PSE:

    hi

  • Publish Pages Document using Apple's print service?

    I've created a travelogue in pages. 60% text and 40% photos.
    Is there a way to use Apple's print service (a la iPhoto Books) to publish a few copies?
    Note: I posted a similar message in the iPhoto forum. Sorry if that breaks any rules of this discussion board.

    Hi George, welcome to the discussion.
    Have you tried to import the pdf file(s) into iPhoto, and then selected them into a book so they could be printed ?
    Also this sounds kind of expensive.
    Just a thought

  • Allow others to order iPhoto calendar via Apple Photos Services (or other)

    I thought I saw this option somewhere, but I have an iPhoto calendar that I've printed through Apple Photo Services for myself. I now want to make that cal available for others to print without having to be involved in placing the order for them. Is that possible? Ideally, they would not even need a .mac account, but could order as a guest. If Apple does not offer this service, does anyone know of a short-run printer that will take the PDF and make a cal of it? Fed Ex/Kinko's does not have a lot of info on their site for that kind of thing. I will call them shortly.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Terence. I assume the file is stored on the Apple server for 4 weeks (in which time it is removed), so I'm unclear why they can't assign it a unique number and allow me to send that number to my mom who can use it to order the cal. That does not seem impossible to me and could help Apple make more money on prints.

  • The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy?

    The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy. they were fine the first time i had them printed, why have they come out fuzzy second time?
    I printed a book for a relative a couple of years ago to celebrate his 21st. then this year his younger brother also turned 21, I printed a new photo memory book and used some of the photos in his older brothers book in this new one. Those photos that were used in both books came out fuzzy in the second one when they were fine in the first one. Why could this be and can it be rectified?

    Those photos that were used in both books came out fuzzy in the second one when they were fine in the first one. Why could this be and can it be rectified?
    Did you use different versions of the photos or different sizes? Have you now used a different iPhoto version? The book templates changed between the versions.
    Compare the printed book to the PDF preview of your book. The printed book should look exactly as the preview, see:   iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    If you want to return the book for a refund, use the "Report a problem" link on your email receipt.

  • We want a good photo printer, can anyone recommend one

    We are trying to find and decide which is the best photo printer for the Apple Mac Pro, can anyone help?  Also can someone tell me us which photo software is the best on this machine as we have found the general one supplied (iphoto) is not very advanced for more advanced printing and photography. thanks l

    Is there a range in performance and price to what you need? "Best" is pretty much asking for top of the line but not best price/performance for X$s.
    http://macperformanceguide.com/index_topics.html
    Dozens of tips on printers, memory, software etc are you looking for something in between the low end and CS5.5? $200 range for instance? I would tend to think Adobe Creative Suite or therein.

    http://macperformanceguide.com/LionHairballs-PrintingProblems.html
    - Try search for type " MacOS X Lion + printers" and I would look at MacFixit and also look for Canon and Epson and OS X issues with updates, drivers, etc. and Lion compatibility.
    I keep buying Canon and each new model is just that much better than the last, but I don't need $1K printer (well, my first HP DeskWrite was 20 yrs ago!)

  • Best photo printer under $400?

    I'm looking for a high quality but relatively inexpensive photo printer. I want to display my high school photography students' photos in the main hallway cabinet of our administration building. The printers we have on campus are not up to par, and I don't have the time to constantly make runs to Costco for prints. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ideally an inkjet with bluetooth and ethernet capabilities, but I'm open to suggestions! Thanks Apple Fam!

    I have the Canon PIXMA (MX922) and have found it to work wonderfully! It prints beautiful pictures at an extremely high quality. It has many advanced features that work well. It also supports AirPrint but is capable of wireless or ethernet printing. Overall a great quality machine that I would highly recommend.
