Book Order Upload Size

So I just sent a 24 page book to Apple, and on the little dialogue box with the progress bar it said it was sending a total of 24.3 mb worth of data towards Apple.
With the exception of the front title page, the other pages are in FULL colour, meaning I have used a photo background for all pages and each page has around 2-4 photos.
So is this miniscule amount of data normal for a 28 x 21 cm book and will the quality be top notch? Does Apple have some secret compression algorithm they're not willing to share?

Thanks. It's just that I'm so accustomed to seeing documents like these with sizes of 5 mb or more per page (without encapsulating the file).
I did export it and it does look pretty good... on screen anyway.
Oh well there's always the customer satisfaction or money back thing.
Thank you!

I created a book and tried to place order but failed. I followed the procedures, when the book completed uploading, the message "An error occured uploading your order" pop up. There was no error message all along when I created the book.

preview the order and try again - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
If it still does not work boot into Safe Mode, preview again and try
With the number of reports in the last few days it may be server overload - if so trying during a time of lower activity might help

Re: book upload fails
Nov 30, 2013 3:02 PM (in response to pablo123)
Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Happy Holidays

Can you order apple books in 2 sizes

Can you order apple books in 2 sizes, once they are built, same picts, order...?

No. Multiple copies of one order can be combined, but not multiple orders. And two books at different sizes are two orders.

(Someone else with a) Problem submitting a Book order

I have now tried 5 times to submit the same order. Each time I get the following e-mail back:
"Unfortunately, we were unable to process your order because the files received contained data that was unreadable or otherwise unprintable. Your order has been cancelled and your credit card will not be billed.
This was caused by one of the following:
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best r esults.
Please make the necessary adjustments and resubmit your order for processing."
In terms of Point 1 no files are corrupted (as far as I know) and my connection is excellent.
Point 2 - I have 1.75TB of space!
Point 3 - I do not have pdf files in the book. I do shoot in RAW on a Canon 40D. I wouldn't think this makes any difference since iPhoto just uses the jpg files any way. The total file size I am sending is 37MB - if it were the RAW images being sent it would be more like 440MB.
I have looked elsewhere on this forum and followed the advice given as to "Previewing Book". When I do this, no errors appear in the pdf "Preview Book" creates.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm gutted over the amount of time I spent creating the book and was hoping to provide my wife with a really nice present for Christmas!
Regards

When they mentioned an unreadable PDF file they were referring to the file that iPhoto creates of the book for uploading and printing. Create a PDF by by starting to Print the book locally and select PDF->Save as PDF. This will create the same PDF file that iPhoto creates. See if it will open normally with Preview, etc. It's also a good time to proof the book to make sure there are no typos, all text displays as expected, etc.
Also check to make sure your photos are all RGB mode with the sRGB color profile and no black and white photos with the grayscale color mode.

Placing book order-iPhoto quit unexpectedly

I have been trying to order an 88 page large spiral photo book. Each time I try, it assembles all 88 photos then iPhoto quits and I get the -unexpectedly quit-message. I have relaunched, reset and relaunched but it still will not process the order. I placed an order for prints with no problem. Why can't I get my book ordered?

It isn't the size of the book. My friend recently uploaded a 100 page book without a problem.
A few more ideas:
Is iPhoto up to date? Run software update.
Check the photos in the book make sure there aren't any error symbols showing up. They might look like yellow yield signs.
Call Applecare and see if they have any ideas or even an Apple Store.
These two stink, but:
Rebuild the book from a new book. Maybe there is an error from within the book.
Rebuild the book using Kodak's service. I don't know if the kodak gallery software allows you to build and upload within the program or if it has to be online. There is a plug-in for iPhoto that allows you to upload photos to your Kodak account from within iPhoto, so that helps a little.

Unable to complete photo book order on ipad

Hi, I hope this is the right place to get some help. Regarding placing an iphoto photo book order on an ipad.
I have been working on a photo book project for a long time, and want to finally order some copies of the book. Everything has worked fine, except that I get a message that I have some clipped text that may be exceeding its boundaries. I can't figure out where this is, no warning triangles are showing, so I choose to proceed with the order anyway. The next page is black/dark grey with a small icon of the front page of the photo book, and it says "done" ("ferdig" in Norwegian) on top. I can click on some words in blue writing on the top right of the page, "add delivery address" (in Norwegian). When I try to type somehing in there, nothing happens.
Aaargh, this is so frustrating! I have checked that my address and credit card info is valid, in my apple id-account(itunes).
Shouldn't there be some uploading of the album? And a choice of how many copies etc I want? I have checked my email and there are no order confirmations, so I apparently havent placed an order yet, despite the "done"/"ferdig" on top of the page.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can I do?

Hey there Nyibyen,
It sounds like you are unable to purchase a project youve been working on for a good long while, but the order process is not working as expected. I would start by verifying you have Express Checkout enabled in your Account Settings when you are at http://store.apple.com, with this info:
You can review or edit your express checkout settings by accessing the Account section from the main navigation bar. Sign-in with your Apple ID and password to view your account settings. Click on the Edit button if you wish to edit your shipping address or payment method. You can also enable or disable the express checkout feature for this computer by moving the slider to the respective position.
From: Express Checkout
http://store.apple.com/us/help/express_checkout_faq
If so and your other billing info is correct, quit all the running apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue is still unresolved, try resetting your network settings and attempting the order again.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
From: iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Set maximum upload size

Hello,
We are using Portal 7.0 and the CRM Business Package (BSP's).
For a user it is possible to upload one or more attachments.
Is it possible to set a maximum upload size?
Greetings,

what version BES?
I know BPS 4.1.4 does have an issue and you would need BES Express 5 to fix it. BES Express 5 is also free.

Rejected book order

I am a complete beginner to all this but can anyone help me!
I experienced huge problems uploading..it got stuck at 0% for hours so I finally rebooted, once I had managed to get out of Aperture, and then it all worked fine.
However, I have now received an email saying there was a problem with the upload and that this may be because my matter is either unreadable to unprintable due to the quality. The email from Apple said it could be due to one of the following:
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue. I have checked this and it seems it all went through fine
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files. I have just added more RAM so unlikely
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.
What the heck does all this mean?! I am using jpegs from a Canon Eos and am baffled how I check to see if this is the problem.
All ideas greatefully received as this is my first order and am desperate to get going as in principle I adore this concept.
Thank you and apolgies for the waffle!

2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low
disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly.
Create more space by deleting unused files. I have
just added more RAM so unlikely
More RAM would not solve a disk space problem. If your hard disk is nearly full, Aperture may not be able to create all of the files it needs for the book. More RAM would help in the processing of the files but not in the storage (or temporary storage) that Aperture might need for the book files. You may be in a situation where Aperture creates a bunch of temporary files, bumps into a disk limit, and then tries to send some corrupted files. After transmitting, the files might be deleted but there is some instant in time where the available space on your hard disk gets consumed.

If I buy a digital book in EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

If I buy a digital book in EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

First, epub has nothing to do with size, it is a file format that is popularly used for ebooks, but ebooks published in epub file formats vary greatly in file size.
It will depend on where you buy it. Many books are DRM locked (Digital Rights Management, a software lock). If so, in order to load it into another companies reader or reader software, you need to use something like Adobe Digital Editions to "authorize" the book on the device. Apple's iBook software does not work with ADE.
If the book was DRM free, you should be able to read it in any ereader or ereader program that supports epub format.
If the book is DRM locked to B&N, Amazon, Kobo or whichever seller you shopped from, then the simples thing is to download their free app for the iPad (they all make one, in fact they all make free apps for iPad, Android, Mac OS X and Windows).
So the short answer is yes, you should be able to read any epub ebook file on an iPad, although not necessarily in iBook.
So, books from
Amazon - get the Kindle reader app
B&N - get the Nook reader app
Kobo - get the Kobo reader app
non-DRM epubs can be read in iBook, Nook, Kobo, or Google Play

Iphoto book order cancelled - Totally dissatisfying customer service

This message to alert you that Apple might cancel your iPhoto book order for no reason !
This is what just happened to me, leaving me in a totally dissatisfying and frustrating situation, as I did everything to have this book in time for Christmas, had to go through over an hour on the helpline with Customer Services, whose agents are badly informed on the solutions that they can offer you when such mistakes happen ---
I ordered an iphoto book on December 14, in order to have it in time for Christmas.
Nothing was reported wrong or erroneous when I placed the order and uploaded the book. Two days later, Apple cancelled my order without any notification sent to me. I have only learned about it on December 21, worried that my book had not arrived yet. I checked online about my order status, which then said "order cancelled". No explanation why. I waited for Monday December 23 in order to be able to talk from someone at Customer Services. I was then told that my order had been cancelled because one picture and text was overlapping, but they could not tell me exactly which one. It was then suggested to me that I should replace the same order and call back so that they could accelerate the process.
I placed the order and sent the exact same book to Apple again and then called back. Another assistant from Customer Services advised me that there was nothing they could do in order to accelerate the printing and delivery process. All they COULD HAVE offered me was 15% discount, which the first assistant did not mention and which now was too late for me to benefit from since I had already placed the order. Also, I was told that my exact same order did not produce any issue for printing, so that the first cancellation was in fact made without any reason.
This leaves me with the following situation: Although I have placed my first order in time for it to arrive before Christmas, I end up with no Christmas present, over an hour lost on the phone with customer services, no discount, no accelerated printing or delivery process or any other gesture in order for my infuriating situation to be less so, and a photo book that will arrive in early January when I will have already left my family to work abroad again.
I am entirely dissatisfied with the quality of the Apple iphoto book service and Apple customer services. I have not obtained any help or remedy from your customer services although several mistakes had been made on their side.
You are well advised to consider alternatives before spending hours on creating an iphoto book...

Anne, that is really outragious. And I cannot understand why the support did nothing to rectify their mistake and help you to get your book printed in time.The support teams at the Print Products Stores probably will not read these these Forums, these are user-to-user discussions. So, to make Apple listen to your justified complaint, use the feedback form.

I've been having the same problem. For six days I have been trying to upload a book I created in iPhoto 5.0.4. After it transfers the first 128K I get an error message. The message tells me to retry. When I retry, iPhoto acts like it's completing the transfer. But the transfer happens so quickly that I know it's not really transferring the rest of the book. Then I get a message saying the order has been received. But then I get an email saying there has been a problem with the order and that they could not process my order so it has been cancelled. I have 25 of these emails in my inbox at the moment. Each one representing an attempt at uploading my book.
I did manage to get one book to upload after numerous attempts. I didn't do anything different. Now I want to get two softcover copies of the book made and I can't get it to upload.
I have tried everything - repairing permissions, running Cocktail, resetting my airport, trashing my preferences, reinstalling iPhoto, checking my fonts, rebuilding the book with smaller files - basically everything I have seen suggested on this forum. Nothing has worked.
Last September I made 3 books and had no problems uploading them. No I don't know what is going on.
It is really frustrating. I want to give these new books to my brother and sister for Christmas, but it looks like that is not going to happen now.
Thanks Apple.

I made an error in the book I uploaded.

I made an error in the book I uploaded 12 hours ago. Can I correct the error in the uploaded copy or re-upload the book without buying it again?

No - you have 90 minutes to cancel an order - then it is moved into the production status and can not be modified
in the future
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Address Book and Window Size Defaults

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, whenever I open Address Book, the window size is teeny tiny and the columns are so itsy bisty narrow as to be entirely useless (like, I get the first 5 letters of each name in the name column, now which Johns... am I seeking?). I have to resize the window and then adjust the column widths every time I open the app.
This is highly annoying. Any ideas about how to fix it?

Have you tried Repairing Permission (using Disk Utility) since upgrading? If not, try that first.
If so, it sounds like your Address Book preferences file might be messed up. You might want to try removing the Address Book preferences file (com.apple.AddressBook.plist) from the /Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences folder. Don't trash it at first in case you need to put it back.
Close Address Book.
Move the preference file to the Desktop.
Re-launch Address Book.
If the problem is fixed, you can eventually trash the old preference file (a new one will have been created up launch of Address Book).
Keep in mind that any other preferences you may have set up for this application will be lost when you trash the old prefs file, but it may be a worthwhile sacrifice to get it back into working order.
Hope this helps,
Lance

Hardcover book order went from "printing" to "cancelled", help!

Help! My order for a hardcover iPhoto book went from "printing" on 1/31/08 to cancelled on 2/5/08.
It doesn't say why. I called the only # I could find, 1-800-MYAPPLE, and all they could do is fill out an email form and supposedly someone will contact me.
I did get a warning from iPhoto that 4 of the photos I was using out of the 100 or so, was too low resolution, but I "okayed" it, the order uploaded etc... I don't know what to do. I am trying to get my order in time for Valentine's day.
Anyone have any insight as to what is happening? I am using all the default type settings, it is using the font "HeleveticaNeue" or "Helevetic Neue" which are the defaults. I would change the 4 photos I am using but am afraid to get 2 books now. Can anyone offer any insight on all this? Thanks!

Did you get a confirmation e-mail
That has contact information in it
for status - http://www.apple.com/internetservices/yourorderstatus
For information - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/ww/
Unless the book is critical I'd not reorder until you figure this out - at the support services site there is an order history page that might help and a reorder form will let you reorder the exact book if you decide to do that
