Buy Book doesn't work in iPhoto 6

I have completed a Photo Book. However, pressing Buy Book does nothing at all. I have bought Apple iPhoto books before without any problems. One-click ordering is enabled for my account in the Apple Store (heard this as one possible solution) and I have deleted the old iPhoto preference file in case this was corrupted. Still no luck. Any help welcomed.

In Safari 6 with Developer Tools on go to 'Develop' in the menu bar and click 'Show Error Console' or use the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-C.
I am still working on how to get that to show up using the Inspector interface.

Buy book is grey out in iPhoto and cannot buy book

Buy book is grey out in iPhoto and cannot buy book

You get the best help by giving as much information as possible, not as little as possible. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

Upgraded to os7 and done my updates on the apps as they appear.. Any function to do with the iBook store is not working or visible. The purchase at the end of a sample book doesn't work either.

Sound like a trackpad problem and not an iPhoto one. Have you asked in the forum dedicated to the Mac model you're using or is this an add on trackpad?

Fotostream doesn't work in iPhoto

Since two weeks Fotostream doesn't work in iPhoto. First it starts with not updating the Fotostream of my Account. I wondered and deactivated Fotostream and iCloud functionality in iPhoto. With no reaction I logged out with my Account in the OSX settings and logged in again after restarting my MacBook.
I also reinstalled iPhoto, but with my activated iCloud Account in OSX the Fotostream Page in iPhoto just shows the starting page of Fotostream with no photos in.
Any help?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Enable Photo Stream in it and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

My Address book doesn't work!

Dear Community, it's my first time I write here and I'm italian, so I don't speak English very well... I'm sorry if in this post there are some error...
The problem is simple:
My address book doesn't work. If I click on its icon on dock, it "jump" for 2 times and stop... a message inform that it doesn't work.
Anyway I can access to my contact with dashboard and Spotlight.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Log back in to your regular user account. Quit Address Book. Go you /Users/you/Library/Preferences and find these two files:
com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
com.apple.AddressBook.plist
Move them out to the Desktop. Does Address Book launch now?

Address book doesn't work

I recently discovered that my Address Book doesn't work at all. I upgraded to Lion and everything was working fine. I imported old Vcards. Updated thing s and it was all running smoothly until a couple of weeks ago. No new updates , nothing. It just quit working.
No importing, no contacts, nothing. I have tried deleting the preferences. I have tried reinstalling. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I had it synced with Google. I didn't have it synced with Google. I had it synced with icloud. I didn't have it synced with icloud. I have tried every combination I can think of and now I am at the end of my rope.
Is anyone else having this problem? I noticed on the web that a lot of people are having trouble with this, but haven't been able to fix it and Apple has been of no help. Does anyone have any ideas? My default is just to move everything to google and stop using mac products altoghether.
Thanks
Michael

Hey Barney,
What I meant by, "It just quit working", is that after I upgraded to Lion I had to switch from Entourage to Mac mail products, unless i wanted to shell out a few hundred dollars to Microsoft. Since I purchased iWork I was trying to avoid that and starting to use more Apple products.
I transferred all of my contacts into Address book and then exported everything to v-cards as a backup. For weeks everything was fine. I created new contacts. Imported some contacts from another computer. I even transferred some contacts from a Blackberry out to v-cards and imported them. Everything was going along just fine. I could add, edit, see everything.
Then, about a week ago, my wife asked for some info that I know I directly input into her address book (we share a computer, but she is her own user). I went over to her side, opened up her Address book and nothing was there. No contacts. I couldn't import anything. I couldn't add a new contact. Nothing. The program just didn't work. I went to my side to see what was up. Same thing.
I have now spent the last week trying to figure out how to fix it. I first got rid of the preferences (moved them to another folder and restarted the program). Nothing. I deleted the .abcddb file and restarted. Nothing. I even tried to reinstall from my original Leaopard disk, but could not access the Address book from the install disk by itself.
I've searched the internet for answers. Nothing. It's the oddest thing. All of my "contacts" as far as email goes work. I type and they come up, but if I open the Address book all I see are blank pages and the program itself seems to not be able to do anything. Can't import, there's nothing to export, can't add a contact or edit.
Ever since the upgrade to Lion I've had nothing but trouble with my computer at every turn. I probably just should have paid for the upgrades to all my Microsoft products and left the Apple ones alone.
Thanks for listening. if you think of anything or hear of anythong let me know.

Signing in with an existing apple id for buying a book doesn't work

Hi,
I've created a book in Aperture and I want to buy the book via Apple. So I press the Buy Book button and try to sign in with my existing apple id.
But then I end up in a menu called "Create an Apple Account". The weird thing is that it shows data from my existing apple id (like the security question and more). Although I think this is incorrect itself I did try to continue, but it is stuck to this page.
Has anyone seen this behaviour?

This problem has come up over and over again, and there is no easy solution:
This is how it should work: Apple Print Products - Apple Store
For many posters it worked to simply go through the motions and enter the complete billing information again, and to make sure, the address, zip code etc. are valid entries.
This error message may be given, if your account uses a password that does not obey the password rules, or if your zip-code is wrongly formatted. Check your zip-code, if it has the correct number of digits. You may need to change your password at MyAppleID.

Picassa iPhoto uploader doesn't work in iPhoto 08 anymore

Hi
I post some of my photos on Picassa. With iPhoto 07, no prb: I downloaded the Picassa iPhoto uploader, and from iPhoto, I used to be able to export my albums easily. But I upgraded to iPhoto 08 few days ago, and just realized there's a bug, and the Picassa uploader doesn't work anymore: after formatting the pictures, the process freezes during the 'Create Album' step, my mac fan starts to run crazy, and I have to cancel the operation. I deleted and reinstalled the uploader, same thing. I can still use the uploader to load picture in Picassa from Finder directly, but I think it was easier and sleeker to do it from iPhoto. I'm disappointed to find such a bug. Has anyone else met that problem with Picassa, or with any other uploader? Is there a solution?
Thanks
Laurent

You'll have to wait until Picasa and the other plugin developers update their plugins to be compatible with iPhoto 7. The ball's in their court.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

HT201317 Photostream doesn't work in iPhoto

I have turned on Photostream in System Preferences on my iMac, but it doesn't work. I have tried to enable it in iPhoto but it returns the message: "iPhoto was unable to connect to Photostream". I am running OS X 10.7.5. Any suggestions? There are no software updates available.

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Enable Photo Stream in it and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Mail and Address Book doesn't work together!!!

Since I converted addresses from Filemaker 7 to Address Book, the automatic fill in, in Mail doesn't work anymore.
The option: "fill in address automaticly" is active in the preference menu in Mail.
The problem feels not consequent, this means; some of the addresses are shown up in mail, others don't. I cannot find out where to search for the problem.
Who knows which file I can delete or any other solutions?????

You can check by dragging ~(YourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist to the desktop. Then relaunch AddressBook.
You could do the same with "com.apple.Mail.plist" but it contains all email account settings and general mail preferences, so you will have to set up your account info again.
Also you might try deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook.

Lightroom 5.2 eMail address book doesn't work

Lightroom 5.2 eMail address book doesn't work

Being sorry really doesn't help. I'm running Windows 64bit and the address book function for eMail doesn't work. I installed 5.3 beta - no help!
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Well, SVHudson, what did you expect to get from your first post? There was no information at all, not even a question. We are not mind readers here.
Why didn't you start with the information you are providing now, which, even though it is still not complete, at least gives a hint of what your problem is?

TM doesn't work with iphoto

I have iphoto 6 and when i have it open and i click on TM in the dock it gets rid of iphoto and brings up the desktop folder instead. How can i get TM to work with iphoto visually?

Yes, that exact same order you mentioned.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is a restored library from the previous iPhoto?
It just won't activate. It keeps popping up Finder...

'Buy Book' won't work.

It takes me to an empty order page in iPhoto, which I have to Force Quit to get back to iPhoto.
It's very fustrating!
Any help on this matter would be great!

Hi Terence
I have the same issue like Khanafin, and still trying to figure out what's wrong here, even after deleting the plist and cache.
I am running Snow Leopard 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 (Version 9.4.2, 710.42). I am able to view the book as PDF no problem but when the BUY button is pressed, I do get the attached image (after 1 minute of so). Not quite sure what is happening here.
Unfortunately none of the buttons then work and also I have to force quit the app.
At the moment, I am very clueless. Any ideas?
Cheers
Hisham

HT3805 buy book feature not working "a connection could not be established at this time etc...." How do I fix this? I am running Mountain Lion with Aperture 3.3.2

I have the same problem as many of you on this forum,
Aperture will not allow me to buy a book. It says a connection could not be established at this time.
I have a 2011 17in MBP, running Mountain Lion, Apertaure 3.3.2 purcahsed from the App Store, a 100Mb network connection, based in Staffordshire UK. It acts the same over wifi or ethernet, e.g a connection could not be established at this time. It makes no difference if I am signed into the App store or not.
I have spent 5 days preparing my Wedding album images for a 30 page book with lots of adjustments, therefore, I am desperate to fix this and as I paid £55 for the software I want it to work.
Can anyone help?
Regards
Tim

I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images! Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).
