Creating a birthday card

I'm trying to create a birthday card with my nephew's photo on it and every time I go to print is only prints the selected photo and not the created card plus I can turn the page to do the text on the inside of the card, How do I amend these issues?

See if this helps:

Is there there more than one lame birthday card template somewhere?

New to iMac. We have Pages not Office. Daughter needs to make a birthday card. "Daddy, can you show me how to do it on the MAC?" Sure honey, Its probably just like you did on the old computer. WRONG! "Daddy, is that the only birthday card they have? That's lame" Yes sweety, it is.
Is ther a place where I can get some more templates? preferrably some that are twice folded cards so they don't need an 8.5" envelope
Any help is appreciated.
PS I would be embarrased if I put out software like this.

Although you posted this in the iWork for iOS forum, it appears that you actually have the desktop version, so I'll answer in that context.
It looks to me like Pages includes two lame birthday card templates. In addition, Pages can usually open templates for Microsoft Word. A Google search brings up lots of templates availlable on the web; most of them are probably lame.
All a template is, really, is a formatted document. If it is the right size, the lame content or lack of variety don't matter because you aren't supposed to keep that content; it's just a placeholder for something original of your own.

I am trying to make a Birthday card for my sons 2nd birthday, and It keeps saying both about the "default text" and now that it wont fit on the paper. but everything seems fine....HELP???

please help!

Are you using iPhoto '11 on a Mac?
Try to print your Card (using the main menu bar "File > Print" or save the printed version to pdf.
Then you can check, which text still is default. The default text will be missing from your print - see for example the screenshot below. Also you can check the measurements on your printed copy. In the print menu you can use the arrow buttons to step through the pages of your card.

Printing a birthday card

Im new to Iworks, so please be patient....
Ive designed a birthday party invitation but now it won't print right. the inside is upside down when I fold it over. The front is right but when I fold the standard size paper in half the inside is upside down. Ive tried the flip veritcally/horizontally but that just makes the words backwards. Im using an HP 309 printer. Please can someone help?

If you flip text horizontally OR vertically, your text will be a mirror image of the original.
If you flip vertically AND horizontally, your text will be upside down, but will read correctly when the page is turned.
The two flips together have the same effect as a 180° rotation.

How can I create a text reveal look like a sharpie mark being erased, ala the Zero Dark Thirty trailer title cards?

Hey all,
Fairly new to AE, but I am looking to create an animated slide show for a documentary wherein the title card text reveals itself in a way that looks like it's declassified - Sharpie marker being erased - ala the Zero Dark Thirty trailer title cards.

How can I gift an iPad app on a specific day, like birthday?

In answering an earlier question (How can I buy a specific iPad app for someone else?) https://discussions.apple.com/people/King_Penguin gave the following helpful tip: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2736
So far, so good (except that now I'll need to tip off the giftee by asking which email address he uses for iTunes). However... I have a new problem. How do I specify that the gift "arrive" on a specific day, such as a birthday? Dear Obvious Answer: No, I don't want the answer "Buy it on his birthday." I will be out of the country on his birthday, and away from internet/3g/4g connections. I need another choice.

A different obvious answer: organise it, don't tell him until his birthday. If you cannot phone or text, tell him on a birthday card, posted (remember that?), if necessary inscribed "do not open until your birthday".
We spend too much time wresting with technology to solve problems that would not even exist a few years ago.

Software for greeting cards

I have no idea where to post my question, so I'll begin here.
Is there software available for Macs that will enable me to print my own greeting cards, e.g., birthday cards, thank you notes, get well cards, etc.?
Thanks!
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

We’ve got a family business (small plug!: http:/www.richardwoodgate.internet-today.co.uk) producing a range of prints, laminated bookmarks and cards from original watercolour and acrylic paintings. The images used are all stored in iPhoto and then we print from iPhoto to our Epson printer in N-up format (Epson only setting?) which prints multiple images to a sheet - usually 6 or 9. We then cut them out by hand with a straight-edge/guillotine and use double sided tape to attach them to the front of the cards which we buy in from a wholesaler with matching envelopes and cellophane bags for display.
The book marks are produced in Pages - images and text are arranged and formatted before being ‘grouped’. Each bookmark is then duplicated to fill the sheet and then sent to print.
We are expanding into printing directly onto the front of cards and producing cards with messages inside. For the time being, we will be using some ‘in-house made’ Pages templates as and when our new printer arrives.
To be honest, it is a bit of a crude setup, but it works wonders, and the speed and efficiently of the Mac enables us to produce and market top-quality goods. Any image manipulation is done using The GIMP.

ICal and BIRTHDAYS...HELP!

OK, iCal 2.02 and i understand the names must be put into the Address book to get them into the NON EDITABLE iCal, but WHAT if i have 4 brothers and they all have wives and 5 kids...i MUST enter a card for each just to put the birthdays in? Is this correct or am i missing something? What have other's done?
Is it time to go to MS Entourage?

Hi Steven,
I agree with you. That is why I wrote the Applescript below. It makes a calendar called myBirthdays in iCal and copies any new birthdays from Address Book when it is run. The calendar is editable, so you can add extra birthdays to it. When you add birthdays to Address Book just run the script again.
If you like the script it can be saved as an application, so it can be run with one click.
Best wishes

Card messages won't do symbol fonts?

I'm trying to print a birthday card from iPhoto but the message area on the inside of the card doesn't seem to like symbol fonts like Monotype Sorts or Zapf Dingbats. It doesn't seem to accept oriental fonts either. (accented chars ar OK)
Any ideas how to get around this or why on earth they would restrict printing is this way?
thanks,

Hi,
iChat (the forerunner that Messages in built on) has a whole bunch of Sound with the app.
There were 17 different Actions you could set the sounds for. (some like an Audio Invitation was the same as the Video invitation sound so there were not 17 different sounds.
Up until Messages 7.0.1 in Mountain Lion you could set these sounds to be Off, On or list another sound (any of the iChat sounds, System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects alert sounds (System Alerts) or any you had in ~/Library/Sounds (your User Account's Sounds)
Since Mavericks/Messages 8 the Alerts Pane in the Messages Preferences has disappeared.
You can only change one sound and that is the one fro Message Received in the General Section of the Preferences.
All other sounds play when the function they were originally designed for happens.
As a consequence you now have Buddy List open and you will here the Login sound each time it logs in.
I have just disabled all my Accounts in Messages that have Buddy List (all the non iMessages ones).
Originally it kept my pic on show until I iMessages my iPhone.
At this point it hung, then Crashed.
On restart it was using my Contacts App > My Card pic.
Turning on account in Messages to Enabled again does not automatically change the Pic back.
It looks like we need to bring this to their attention again.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
This page was never very good at keeping up to date with iChat and currently does not list anything past iChat 5 so type your specs into the Free text area.

Print multiple card into A4 sheet by Pages

I'd like to print n.8 birthday card (95x70 mm) into A4 format, I already plan and drawn the card but I'm able to customize paper size because in Pages I can see only specific format e.g. A4, legal, ... but no format size manager menu.
Can you help me
I thought manually to duplicate my card inside A4 but it's hard because it's made with several box (containing text and drawings), it exists way to duplicate all drawing at one time?

A card is just a rectangle with textboxes and graphics. Create one and select all the elements of that card and group them.
Menu > Arrange > Group
Then option shift drag that sideways or vertically to duplicate them on the page.
You can create a custom size page:
Menu > File > Page Setup > Paper size > Manage Custom Sizes

Why can't I print a card from iPhoto?

I have always been able to print cards I design straight to my printer but today I seem to only be able to print the elements I placed in the card. The design elements are not printing.
Has this function been removed so we have to buy the card?

I made a birthday card using photos from my iPhoto files and using a template used many times before. When I pressed the print button, I found that the only things displayed in the preview and consequently when printed, are the photo and the words that I placed in the template. The actual card elements from the programme (ie the textures, pictures and colours that are usually present in the card) are strangely absent. It makes for a pretty boring printout of a photo and some disjointed words with no cohesion. I have tried another template and the same thing happened.
I have also tried to save it as a PDF and the resulting printout was the same.
I may be wrong but it looks like Apple are removing the option to print our own cards, so that we use their online printing service and make shedloads of money from what used to be a free component of the programme.

HT2513 Had to import Birthdays from yahoo calendar. Is there any way to move them to the iCal Birthdays calendar without manually inputing them each into Address Book?

I used to use Yahoo Calendar to manage my birthdays and notifications of them. Yahoo screwed with something, so now I no longer get birthday notification texts to my cell. Now, I've imported my Yahoo Calendar dates in to iCal. iCal has a Birthdays "subscription" calendar which only shows birthdays entered into the Address Book. I do not have any birthdays entered into Address Book. Is there any way to select birthday entries from my other calendars and move them to the birthdays tab, or must I manually enter over 200 birthdays into Address Book?
While I'm here, is there any way to highlight specific calendar entries and move them to a "new calendar"?
THanks in advance for any and all help.

looks like this is not yet an option via yahoo/sbc

How to use Aperture 3 Photo to make a card in iPhoto?

I have been using Aperture 3 exclusively for a couple of years and now I would like to create some cards in the iPhoto Letterpress process using some of these photos. Some would be blank to write a message to family & friends, some Holiday designed cards etc
When I went to make a birthday card (as a test) to send to a cousin, I wasn't able to create it using the Aperture 3 image I wanted . Do I have to import them into iPhoto?
Thanks / Gene

Two ways:
If you generate previews in Ap 3 then you can share them with the iLife and iWork apps. (AP 3 preferences). Then, in iPhoto go File -> Show Aperture Library. You'll get a Media Browser window. You can then drag an image from there to the iPhoto Window. This yields your Ap 3 Preview.
or
Export from Aperture (File -> Export) to the Finder and then import to iPhoto.
Regards
TD
