Attempting to Import iphoto book to i-photo

I would like to post several iphoto books to iweb.
I am using iphoto in ilife 08.
1. I installed ilife and i believe it imported all my photo files.
2. I created a book.
3. I have attempted to post the book for others to view. Each Time I hit save as Iphoto
I belive that is saving the PDF files in I-photo as Jpeg. The dialogue box goes through the saving process pages 1-20. I get the dialogue box to name and save. When I hit save in less than 30 seconds, I get the Theapplication unexpectidly quit dialgue box.
In attempting this over with three books over the past few days, I did find by happenstance find some files saved as JPEG in the trash. I was able to import those to iphoto and then create a web page.
How can I get the program to work like I photo 6.
I have 6 or 8 books to complete....
Can I go back to Iphoto 6 ?
Please advise.

Bob:
What you're experiencing is an bug that came up with iPhoto 7. It's been discussed extensively along the way. One possible fix is to make sure you have no text boxes left empty. If you have any like that just put a space in it. That fixed it for some.
Others reported that their upgrade to Leopard corrected the problem for them. You can do a search in this forum for PDF and crash to find those topics and see if any of the other possible fixes might work for you.
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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

  • Importing iPhoto Books into Aperture

    How do I get the books I've created in IPhoto into Aperture?

    Short answer is you can't.
    When you import your iPhoto library into Aperture any books in iPhoto will be turned into an Album with all the pictures that were in the iPhoto books filmstrip view. You'll have to recreate the book in Aperture's book tool.

  • IPhoto Books Snow Lion: Photos converted with errors

    On my new MacBook Air Lion was preinstalled, iPhoto11 is running. The data was transferred from my old MacBook (SnowLeopard, iPhoto11) through the Apple-Team (One-to-One).
    Two problems occur - the more puzzling first: Pictures are transformed for Books to order with peculiar mistakes. These cannot be due to missing original data - as photos spread over two pages will be okay on the left side, but with flaws on the right side (see picture taken when looking at Preview of finished book).
    If I create PDFs from books instead of Previews, things get worse: 99% of all pictures are corrupted.
    Help possible?
    The second problem are pictures lost in their edited version: When double-clicking the thumbnail to edit the picture, a warning sign appears: Image not found.
    The same is true if I want to watch Slideshows. If i click on "show original in finder" on the thumbnail, then the original is found there, and intact. But the edited version is gone.
    How do I show iPhoto the way back to the originals? Can the edited photos be found again?

    In regards to the first problem see this topic: Problem on creating Book: Apple Support Communities
    The second problem:  you get that when iPhoto loses or breaks the file path to the original file. How you did the transfer will affect how to go about fixing it.

  • Importing iPhoto Albums in correct photo order?

    I wish to import specific iPhoto v9 albums into Aperture 3 (trial). However, I cannot find any way to preserve the specific order of the photos that I have spent considerable time sorting in iPhoto. There are a number of options in Aperture 3 for sorting, but none allows me to preserve the original manual sort order in the iPhoto Album! I could export each album from iPhoto to say, a folder on the desktop, renaming them sequentially in the process, but this has to be a ridiculous way to import dozens of iPhoto albums. Surely I am missing something here!

    Yes, they are manually sorted in iPhoto. I use the TITLE field to attach comments to each photo so I can't use this to automatically batch sort. I can't use the DESCRIPTION field for the individual comments because for some reason, this field is not imported into Aperture at all! (This could be disastrous for those of us who have put enormous effort into documenting photos).
    I can't understand why importing albums from iPhoto into Aperture fails to preserve the manual sort order. The iPhoto import browser shows the correct order when set to KIND, but this is ignored when the album appears in Aperture. This seems to be a major bug in Aperture and a potential show stopper for moving our extensive iPhoto albums across to Aperture.
    Can anyone think of a work-around?

  • How do I fix orientation of photos after they were changed after importing iPhoto library into new Photo app in Yosemite?

    When I switched over to the new Photos app in Yosemite v10.10.3 and imported my iPhoto library to it, random photos in my library had their orientation changed. Some are upside down and some are turned on their side. I have a huge photo library, so this is frustrating. Hoping I don't have to go in and fix each one. I tried rebuilding my library by lauching Photo holding down option+command, but that didn't fix anything. Please help! Mahalo!

    You do not have duplicate albums or photos.
    Photo Stream
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
    The Camera Roll is for photos/videos that were captured by your iPhone, and for a photo saved from a received email, MMS, or from a website. These photos are also placed in the Photo Stream to be synced with your computer and/or with another iOS 5 device. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the folders or albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in a particular folder or album below only by selecting the folder or album, or you can view all photos in all folders or albums be selecting Photo Library.
    This cannot be changed.
    Removing photos or folders/albums of photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your computer via the Tunes process is done in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.

  • Importing iPhoto books back from pdf files

    I saved my book on a cd in pdf. I want to put it back into iphoto to print more books - iphoto said it couldn't read the format. How do I do this?

    sjrb:
    You can't back engineer a book from the pdf file. You might however do a Print to PDF and select the Send PDF to iPhoto option. That will give you jpg files for each page of the pdf. You might be able to create a book with all pages in a 1 photo per page layout and use those jpgs of each page. It won't be as good as the original but may be acceptable.
    The pdf conversion process produces jpgs that are 2200 x 1700 x 200 dpi which do not give a low quality warning when put a 1 photo/page layout. You'll have trouble with the cover and will have to find the photo for it and redo it with a photo. Worth a try.
    If I may offer a suggestion. In the future create a separate library for the book, add the picture you want in the book to an album in the original library. Then use iPhoto Library Manager to transfer that album to the book library and any more photos as you go along. When you're done you can burn that book library folder to a CD using the Finder to archive that book. If you want to order another book at a later day, copy that library folder back to the desktop, open it iPhoto and order another exact copy. Delete the folder when done.

  • Failed attempts to order iphoto book

    I-photo shuts down just shortly after it starts the download of a created book.
    This happened several times.
    The credit card info did go through every time, so now the credit card company is asking questions.
    Very annoying....
    Any suggestions?   Thanks

    The problem lies with iPhoto trying to create a pdf file to upload for printing.  A workaround is to boot into  Safe Mode and order from there.  Others have reported success from the Safe Mode.

  • Printing hardbound books (like Apple's iPhoto books) from Pages docs

    I've printed a few hardbound books of photos from iPhoto and have been pleased with the results, particularly those from iPhoto 6.
    Recently, I used Pages to lay out a book of photos, game scores, and some text for my son's baseball team. The original idea was to take the pdf file to the local Kinko's and have it printed and bound with transparent covers and plastic ring thing. But Kinko's proved unable to print my full-bleed pages, and the quality of the prints turned out to be worse than I could do with my Canon iP8600 printer at home!
    Faced with the task of printing 20 copies of this 24-page book at home, I'm now wondering...can Pages documents (or pdfs) be printed by Apple's book service? If not directly, can I import the pdf file into iPhoto and print each page as a single full-bleed 'photo' using one of the iPhoto templates? I'd have to redo the layout of the Pages book to fit iPhoto's template dimensions,and that would be a LOT of additional work, so I'd like to know beforehand if it is technically possible to print the book in this manner and if Apple would obect to my doing this.
    And if none of the above is possible, is there some printing service out there that would accept a pdf file from Pages and print it as a hardbound book similar to Apple's for a reasonable cost?
    Thanks!

    No, kinko's does not do hardbound books, at least not here in Japan. All they offer is simple binding of loose pages. Options include plastic spiral-like binding, staples, plastic covers, and basic glue/cloth tape. Papers are whatever you bring in or whatever you print on at the shop. Results are adequate for reports and such,but not for long-term archival purposes or gifts.
    As for my own book project, I ended up printing 19 copies on my 8-ink Canon printer using fairly high quality duplex paper. Took several days -- mostly because of the need to buy and install new ink cartridges every few hours (took far more ink than I had expected). The results were far better than could be done on Kinko's printers, but the cheap (not really!!) bindings did not leave a good impression. Moreover, adding the binding cost to the cost of the paper and ink brought the price of each book to over $30 -- more than it would have cost to use Apple's service.
    Just after printing and binding these books, I created a 100-page iPhoto book of vacation photos. Book came back in about a week and looked superb. Showed it to the coaches -- the ones who work for printing companies -- and they were quite impressed. Still don't know why they resisted going this route for the baseball book.
    Next time, if there IS a next time, I will insist upon using Apple's service.

  • Most predictable iPhoto book results

    Hi -
    I'm getting ready to order my first iPhoto book, but after reading in this forum about the problems that people have had with sRGB vs. Adobe RGB, and 1.8 vs. 2.2 gamma settings, etc, I want to make sure that my order is as predictable as possible. I don't have a thorough understanding of what I'm talking about when I use these terms, but I want to make at least a minimal best effort to do this right the first time.
    1. After reading in these discussions, it seems that in most cases, the color profile called "Camera RGB" is close enough to "sRGB" for the purposes of printing iPhoto books. Any photos in my book that are NOT either "Camera RGB" or "sRGB" should be converted to "sRGB". Is this correct?
    2. Gamma 1.8 vs. 2.2 - I have a relatively new iMac and the default Display Profile is set to "iMac". When I change it to "sRGB IEC61966-2.1", I hate the affect that it has on the color in general. Everything becomes significantly more bluish and somewhat darker. I used the 'calibrate' function in System Preferences, and that helped a bit, but I don't want to go through the trouble or expense of purchasing a stick-on-the-screen hardware color tester. Do I need to be changing my monitor settings at all, or can I just change my Display Profile back to "iMac" and ignore this issue all together ?
    Thanks for any help you may have to offer.

    doogles:
    1 - yes. the Camera RGB is very close to sRGB and will give good results. That's what I use. If I do any editing with Photoshop then I'll apply the sRGB profile so as to be consistant.
    2 - as far as the monitor profile, I suggest you stick with the iMac. It's an iffy thing and unless you can't print and get reasonably close colors yourself don't change. This site has some good color test chart files you can download and print to see how close your monitor matches the printer. If it's good I would expect the book to be as well.
    The key is to not have some Abobe RGB profiles scattered among the others in a book. They print up very differently.
    Before ordering be sure to Control click next to a page in the book mode (not on the page) and select Safe as PDF in the contextual menu. Open the pdf file with Preview and check the text and color so make sure all looks well. If it does go ahead and order. Good luck.

  • Bring far better iPhoto book-templates back!

    Please migrate the iPhoto Book templates to Photos.
    Photos is better in a lot of aspects but for us none of the offered book templates gets close to "Old World Travel" or "Asian Travel" etc.
    They had a far better variety of pages by default, being able to take more photos at the time and needed far less editing.
    The poor Photo books just show e.g. 80 pages of always the same boring page layout. Then the message "can only import 80 photos". In iPhoto I added 220 photos and got a nice varying layout. Boom.
    If this (rather easy-to-do thing) is not happening, I guess you lost us as customers!

    There are other online book providers that may have a more flexible layout that would suit your needs. Here are some of them:
    Sites for Ordering Bound Books
    Ofoto
    Shutterfly
    SharedInk
    ImageStation
    PhotoWorks
    Viovo
    Blurb
    Blurb has an application that you can download and build the book locally before uploading.

  • PDF Preview quality is horrible for iPhoto book!

    I created an 82 page iphoto book with several photos and some text and when I preview the order in PDF the quality is distored in various ways every time I try it! I even did a software update and reconfigured iphoto! And the problem then is that this PDF quality is what is meant to be your final product once it is ordered!

    Boot into Safe Mode and try again.

  • IPhoto Book thumbnail...why is there a grey spot showing?

    I just finished building a iPhoto Book. My photos that I used are high resolution photographs. No sign of any low resolution whatsoever. When I scroll through the thumbnails of the book, there is a page (which has three high res photos) where the top photo is located....a big grey box is in its place. However, when I look at the actual book itself (below the thumbnails), the photo is there in all of its glory. When I buy the book, will there be a big blank spot where the photo is supposed to be...or will the photo be there? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    It means the image is flagged.  When you "roll over" the corner of an image you have the option to flag it for quick access at a later time.  Open the image and click the flag to unflag it.
