Blurb Bucherstellung -LR Absturz

Hallo Gemeinde.
Ich habe ein Problem beim Erstellen/Versenden eines Buches mit Lightroom.
Und zwar bricht LR immer bei der letzten Buchseite zusammen, wenn ich es erstellen will bzw zu Blurb schicken möchte.
Dann habe ich die letzte Seite leer gemacht, bricht es eine weiter vorne zusammen.
Windows update gemacht, dann Lightroom auf 5.6 aktualisiert.
Der Support von Blurb war super behilflich, selbst am Sonntag Abend.
Leider scheint es ein LR Problem zu sein.
Der Support von LR hat mich nur auf dieses Forum verwiesen. Ich hoffe hier kann mir jemand helfen.
Achja, Windows 7; 64bit Version von LR
LG iVo

Hello,
I had this problem as well - the upload to Blurb would not work. Creation of a PDF and export as JPEG in the book module worked.
For me, the solution was to turn off the Windows Firewall while uploading. Now it works!

Resolution problems with LR4 and Blurb

I am using RAW files and trying to make a Blurb book with full bleed pages. The warning indicator keeps prompting me that the resolution is less than the 200ppi minimum needed for the full size page. I thought with RAW files I would have plenty of data to make a full page image in a large (11x13) book.

You can do the math: 11 inch with 200 pixels per inch need 2200 pixel edge. 13 inch need 2600 pixels minimum.
Do you mean 2-page-spreads? Then it would need 22 inch x 13 inch, hence 4400x2600.
You will see your image dimensions in the metadata panel.
Did you crop some image below that?
What resolution has your camera, which native ratio?
If your values should fit, I would expect some bug in the book module.

How do you add pictures to your photo book after saving it? Can you re-save it to send to blurb?

How do you add pictures to your photo book once you have saved it? Moreover, can you save it again and send it to Blurb.

Go back to Library and drag the extra photos into the book collection.

Hi Willi:
Thanks for your prompt response. Do you know if there are any scripts that can do this or at least help automate some of this process?
Thanks!

Error occurred while uploading book to blurb

Hi,
I have sent dosens of books to blurb via lightroom without any issue, but I am getting the following error message
"an error occured adding text and fonts to book"
Anyone had this issue, and have any remedy to it? I have tried changing the layouts and fonts without success. I have the same issue when generating a pdf. I have just sent some other albums to blurb with no issue its only with this particular project, it also wont generate pdfs but will generate it as jpegs.
Any help would be amazing as I dont want to have to redo this album!!!
Cheers,
Paul

Just changed the font AGAIN, this time to Arial, and its now working... bizarre. So if anyone else has this issue, just keep hitting send lol!!!

Error message when trying to export a book as PDF or trying to send it to Blurb

Hello
I'm desperatly trying to export my book as a pdf file in LR4 but I'm getting error message after rendering the 5th page (out of 85) Do you guys know why it's happening? Same error message when I try to send my book directly to Blurb (no surprise here since LR4 need to create a PDF file first....)
Do you have any suggestions?
To go around this problem, is there a way to export my book as it is (layout+ pictures (227)) to Blurb Booksmart software using the Blurb plug-in installed in LR4?
Please Help!!!
Thanks a lot in advance
Richard

Hello Dorin and thank you for your answer.
Yes page 5 is a double page spread and this is not the only one in my book! I will modify the page 5 to see if the error message will appear at the next double page spread....
Thanks again
Richard

Why LR4.4 no longer works with Blurb?

Hi,
why LR4.4 no longer works with Blurb?
If I configure a book and then click Submit to Blurb does not happen anymore. I even looked at the network traffic and it seems as if the IP is pinged to the contact record no longer respond. I do not understand. This has worked fine all the time. On the computer no setting has been changed. No software is installed that would prevent something. The last book has worked wonderfully. Interesting things, when I export the book as PDF and then upload at Blurb, Blurb complains that the standard by which PDF is not true. X2003 PDF version .... but I am surprised very strong and I really suspect that there adobe wants to put a stop to that one is supposed to buy the new LR version. But everything just a guess. Maybe someone can help me or even has a similar problem.
greeting
Mario.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If not successful that means that the IOS update broke compatibility, Since the 3G and 4G iPods has difference hardware, there are some differences in the iOSs for the two model iPod.

I made a Blurb book through Lightroom 5, on another computer, backed it up on an external hard drive and tried to import it into my imac. I got the picture files, but could not get the book I had worked on. How do I find my book?

I made a 'Blurb' book using Lightroom on a computer that was not mine. I backed up the book on an external hard drive and then tried to import the book into my imac. I wasn't able to retrieve my book. The photos I used for the book project are there, but the 45 page book I made is not there.
What do I need to do?

You would need to go to the computer containing the book.
Select the saved book in the Collection panel.
Go to Grid View [ G ] and select all the images [Cmd/Ctrl][A]
File>Export as Catalog and store on media you can use to transfer
Bring this catalog onto your computer
File>Import from another catalog and bring the transitory catalog into your master catalog.
It should bring the images, your collections (including your book) and other settings into your own catalog.

HT5213 I have two books published to the iBookstore via Blurb. Unfortunately, they just used my first name on the second book. It is like it is by a different author to the first book. -The two books are not linked. Is there anyway I can edit the author's

Hello. I have just joined this community and would be grateful for advice on editing my name submitted to the iBookstore by Blurb on one of my books. I would like to have both of my books with the same author's name. Is it possible? Thank you.

Thank you, Tom. I did contact Blurb support back in March and was told the following:
"We are not able to change the specifications of how Apple Itunes show the author's name on their site.
Apple always have strict specifications of how they set up the Ebook on their site.
This issue can only be solved by contacting Apply and they will not change the name of the site".
I didn't know how or where to contact Apple at that time and gave up. I am resurrecting the issue now as I have seen I have sold some books and would like the people who bought them to learn of my other book.
I am grateful to both Blurb and Apple for making my books possible, but I would like to fix this issue. I will contact Blurb again.
Thanks for your support.

Blurb Book in Lightroom 5 on my Mac disappeared after 3 days of work. Where can I find a backed up copy via Time Machine or anywhere else?

Welcome to the WD Community.
1) I assume I can just hook the unit up via USB to my Mac and use iPartiion to reformat the drives, assuming each of the 4T drives will be seen by iPartition as a separate drive. That much seems straighforward.
Yes, and in case you ipartition dont see the unit properly, you can use the disk utilities on your Mac and you will be able to reformat the unit to make it compatible with your system.
2) Is my next step to reinstall the WD software and how do I do that? I've downloaded the Drive Utilities and Securities install apps - I assume I just run these with the drive still connected and that's all I need to do?
Yes, just run the applications.
3) What about the firmware update for Mac - when should I run that??
Normally, firmware updates are released to fix any issues that you might encounter on the drive. the latest one was released on 9/24/2014 and it fixed an issue with the drive dropping off of the list after system wakes up from standby mode.
5) And what about the "My Book Live Duo Setup" app for Mac - is that for a completely different model? What's the difference between "My Book Live Duo" and "My Book Duo"? It's these little things that I find so confusing.
Those are different units. The MBL Duo is a NAS (Network attached system) and the My Book Duo is a DAS (Direct attached system)
6) Lastly, when I have all the software installed, is that when I follow the procedure described in the Knowledge Base article ID 5724, "How to install a My Book Live or My Book Live Duo on Windows (8, 7, Vista, or XP) or Mac OSX for the first time"? Or is that procedure only for "My Book Live Duo" but not for "My Book Duo"??
That procedure is for the network units, not for your drive.

Unable to export book layout to PDF or BLURB! Using Lightroom 4.4's book module on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

After investing a bunch of time laying out a photo book, I would like to generate a PDF in order to proof it before sending the book to BLURB for printing. After numerous attempts, I am unable to generate a PDF of the book or, by clicking the 'Send Book to BLURB' button, access the sign in window for uploading to BLURB. Although, if I create a new book (without images or text) I am able to access the window for saving it (the blank book) as a PDF to my hard drive and I am also able to access the sign in window for uploading to BLURB. I could sure use some help. Please let me know what I might be doing wrong! Thank you very much.

You're running PowerPC code under Rosetta emulation on an Intel based system -- and Rosetta has become increasingly unstable (and Apple got rid of it in 10.7, so they won't be fixing any of the bugs)
Your best solution is to upgrade to an Intel native version of Photoshop.

Lr4 and Blurb layouts are different when printed

Hi all,
I've recently received a printed photo book from Blurb, I did the layout in LR4 on the "book" module and then sent it to Blurb to be printed.
There were a couple of double page photos and obviously i set all the photos out with complimentary photos on facing pages.
However I just received the book from Blurb and the pages are all pushed forward (or back) a page so the double page spreads are now half a photo on the same page but opposing sides and the rest of it has been all thrown out also....
The LR4 layout has the pages numbered and facing each other starting with 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 etc as I would expect, however my book is 1, 2-3, 4-5 etc so 1 is facing the cover sheet.
Blurb are saying that it's either due to Flash and Java not being up to date (which they are) or sending the file over a wireless connection and I should try hard cabling....this makes no sense to me as a connection isn't responsible for page numbering.
They have been good enough to print the book again but I need to know how to get around this problem before so. Anyone had a similar experience or know where I'm going wrong?
There are some pics so you can see the problem....the first 3 are from the Blurb preview and final printed book...the last 3 are screenshots from the LR layout showing how I would assume the double page spreads and other photos would turn out....
I did preview the book on the Blurb website (just out of interest) after I had uploaded and ordered it, it was the same as the printed book, before the printing process began I ask Blurb suport to check it for me and resolve it but they didn't know how it was going to look for some reason or didn't quite understand the problem...one person was trying to tell me how to put actual page numbers onto the book....
Anyway, all and any help appreciated...

No. In both cases, the TIFs were simply placed into the document and left untouched from that point forward.

Unable to export from the Book Module in LR-4.4 to Blurb, PDF and JPEG

I have made a book in the book module and was really looking forward to send it to Blurb for printing. I push the "Send book to Blurb... " button but nothing happens. I have tried to export to PDF and JPEG aswell, but nothing. I am Connected to internet, I have an account at Blurb but no reaction. Are there any settings I have missed or are there any bugs that prevents me from exporting? Do Blurb ship to Norway or is that the problem? Please help!!!

When you click on <Send Book to Blurb> a dialog should come up that asks for your ID and password for your Blurb account. I don't know if Blurb ships to Norway - you probably can find out at the Blurb website. But I don't think that this is the problem here since you also cannot export a PDF or JPGs.
I don't know of any specifics why this is not possible for you but it's worth trying to replace the Preference File.
This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr or updating / upgrading Lr does not replace the Preference File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

Lightroom 4.1 problems with book publishing at Blurb

I've done a travel book using the Lightroom 4.1 bookmaking function with Blurb. This has been a major headache. The book is large landscape (13 X 11 inches) with a hardcover image wrap. It is 124 pages on Proline Pearl Photo paper. There are 412 images. Once the book was created I took the time to resize all images to their use in the book to keep the book file to Blurb under the 2 geg limit. It turned out to be 1.1 geg.
I created the book in Lightroom without too much trouble. Replacing each image with the smaller duplicate was a pain. Unfortunately Blurb can't deal with my Lightroom 4.1 book file. They've spent a significant amount of time trying to figure out the problem with this book file. With the book completed I tried to upload multiple times. The images and pages uploaded ok. It would then stall out and give a server communication error after 3 or 4 hours had passed. There are evidently some problems with Blurb and Norton, so I turned that off, with no success. I exported the book as a pdf file, trying to get around the server upload issues. Unfortunately the only choice of pdf version in Lightroom is 1.6. Blurb only works with X-3, so that did not work.
After extensive discussions with Blurb individuals I exported the book as a catalog. This was sent with the images and the .lrcat file to Blurb's drop box.
The information below is their email back to me after Blurb worked with the Lightroom book file.
"Thanks for your patience.
I was able to open your book project without any issues in Lightroom - unfortunately, I wasn't able to upload it to your account or even export it as a PDF or JPG. As a matter of fact, you had more success with it, as the files never even went through the render process for me. To troubleshoot this, I tried the following:
- deleting the cover images/text and choosing a new cover layout.
- deleting the first half of the book project.
- deleting the second of the book project.
- deleting all pages of the book, added 20 blank pages, removed the cover image.
- renaming the project.
- duplicating the project, then renaming it.
After each of these, I tried exporting to PDF and uploading to Blurb, but I had no luck. Unfortunately, it seems that your Lightroom book project may have some sort of corruption in it and that your best bet is to contact Lightroom support directly from the link below. They should have more detailed information on helping you with this problem, as Blurb only handles the actual printing of your file.
http://www.adobe.com/support/imaging/supportinfo/
I'd be interested in hearing what you find out.
I apologize again for the inconvenience."
I appears to me at this point that using Lightroom 4.1 for book production is a lost cause, and it appears to be a Lightroom problem. Do others have these issues also. My plan now is to manually redo the book with the resized images using Blurb's own software. This has been an painful education and my one major disappoinment with Lightroom.
--Gerry

Just got off Adobe Live Chat. A quick summary is contact Blurb. How is that for a run around. This is a major disappointment with Adobe support.
