Can I open a photo book created in Aperture 3 in iPhoto?

HI
I have created a photo book using Aperture 3 of a recent overseas tour. I want to send it to all the tour group so that they can print or buy their own copy.
Not everyone has Aperture but all will have iPhoto...
I have saved the book as a separate Library but when I open this library in iPhoto I cannot find the book - all the photos etc are there but not the book.
Solution???

The unified library does not work for books and other products. Aperture and iPhoto cannot open each others books, because the editing options are different.
See: Using the Unified Photo Library http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
Print projects
Books, calendars, and cards created in iPhoto are visible in the Source list in Aperture, but you cannot edit them. Books, web pages, and web journals created in Aperture are not visible in iPhoto.
Recreate the book in iPhoto, or send your friends a PDF of the book. To create a pfd see: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

Can't open current photo library using this version of iPhoto 7.1.5

I have recently had to perform a disk repair due to the disk image not mounting. In this process I completed a full backup of my home folder and verify/repair/format of my harddrive. At this time I also added 4G RAM bringing the MacBook up to 5G RAM.
Since the reinstallation of 10.7.5 (Which took about 18hrs) I have none of the iLife package. I have reinstalled from the original disk that I recieved on initial purchase back in 2008. After installation I ran the software update and have updated everything (iTunes, iPhoto etc) I have been able to import all data from my backup via a simple drag & drop. I am now unable to open my iPhoto library (file size 105.43G). I have searched many forums and have been unable to find a solution that is suitable (rebuild library) because as soon as I launch this option it brings up the following message:
You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
After this I must quit the application. What am I missing? I'm sure it is something quite simple... I'm hoping it is as easy as it was to find the recoveryHD during the reformat of the disk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Cheers.

It sounds like a damaged library. Try the 2 fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
Fix #2
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Can't open current photo library using this version of iPhoto... HELP

Is anybody out there that can hlep me. I have bee ntrying to import pictures of my canon but I keep getting this error message....
"you can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
Here is the thing... I have never imported pictures yet on this program. If I check for updates it tells me I am current on all updates. Any suggestions??
Thanks

OK, first you need to create an iPhoto Library folder that's compatible with your version of iPhoto -- drag the existing iPhoto Library folder from your Pictures folder to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and choose "Create New..." from the dialog that's presented. Quit iPhoto when you see the new empty library view.
Next, you're going to plop the incompatible iPhoto Library into the newly created iPhoto Library folder. In a Finder view, drag the iPhoto Library folder that was moved to the desktop INTO the newly created iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder (you want to have your old iPhoto Library folder inside your newly-created iPhoto Library folder).
Finally, you're going to rebuild the library database. Start iPhoto while holding the option+shift keys. Don't release them until you're prompted to confirm the rebuild intent. Click "Yes", then click "Save".
After you've verified that iPhoto is again functional, you'll find two iPhoto Library folders in your Pictures folder. The rebuilt library will have a "_1" at the end of the folder's name. The other one (the 'Library within a Library") can be moved to the trash if the rebuild is satisfactory.

When I Open Iphoto it tells me that it can not open current photo library using this version of iphoto. Any help on what I can do to fix this without loosing all my previous photos?

For some reason I tried to open Iphoto and it keeps giving me an error message that It can not open my current photo library.
It says "You can't open your current photo library using this version of Iphoto.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of Iphoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of Iphoto, or do you want
to create a new photo library?"
I tried updating the software and didn't do nothing for me.
Anyone have a solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Ok, here is what I would do for that situation. I would back up all your photos on a memory stick, then create a new photo library and re-upload all the photos to the new library. If iphoto wont let you even copy your photos, you should just schedule an appointment at the genius bar. This has never happened to me, but if it did this is what I would be attempting.

Problem with photo book created in Aperture 3

Hi everyone,
I am in a bit of a bind and would greatly appreciate any help ASAP!
I ordered a hard-cover photo book that was created in Aperture 3. When previewing the order, we noticed that the photo for the cover of the book was missing (though it appeared on the dust jacket). Tried various things to fix this but then read something in the forums that the photo would not be printed on hard-cover books, only on the dust jacket. So we went ahead and placed our order...
Today (3 business days after the order was made) we received an email from Apple:
"Dear Apple customer,
When your order W313537357 was submitted to Apple, an error caused an image file for your print product to contain an empty frame on the cover. As a result, Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged.
If you would like to resubmit your order, we recommend these steps:
1. Use Software Update to install the latest version of Aperture or iPhoto and Mac OS X. For more details on using Software Update, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338
2. Close all open applications
3. Open iPhoto or Aperture and preview your order. For instructions on how to preview your order, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
4. If you are satisfied with the Preview, return to iPhoto and click “Buy.” For Aperture users, return and click “Continue”
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience."
We have tried all of this, and the preview remains the same (no photo on the cover). Also, when clicking the "Buy Book" button we get an error message that says "Empty text field detected in book. The book you are about to order contains an empty text field. How do you wish to proceed?" This gives the option to either cancel or continue, and since I have not been able to find it I always just hit continue.
I have tried contacting apple support but I guess their technical support for Aperture is only available during regular business hours.
Help?! We need this book printed and sent to us by the end of next week. We would pay extra for rush/expedited shipping, but this option doesn't seem to be available (at least in Canada).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you still order photo books if you're running iPhoto '09?

I have an older MacBook and I'm running Snow Leopard and iPhoto '09. (I was thinking of upgrading to iPhoto '11 but it's no longer available for Snow Leopard in the App store. Don't really want to buy the CD version when I don't use any of the other apps.)
I'd like to create some iPhoto books as gifts but I don't want to spend a lot of time on them if they won't work with iPhoto '09. Can you still order them from the old version of iPhoto?

yes - Also with iPhoto '08

Can't open current photo library " using this version of iPhoto"

"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
Got a surprise today. My husband used his new Mac with Ilife9 to reach into the network and get the iphoto library on my machine. I have no idea what he did to make my files convert to a new format, but converted they are.
How can I get them back exactly the way they were without updating my software.
Can he export them, or I import them, somehow, to replace the my "changed" files into files my version of iphoto can open?
His iphoto library (taken from me) would be identical to the one I have that won't open with my version of Iphoto.
Any tricks to restore my pics and the peace of my home?

He opened your iPhoto library and approved the upgrade after being notified that it was non reversible - If he wanted a copy of your iPhoto library then he should have copied it to his computer leaving yours alone and then opened the copy on his computer converting it there
How can I get them back exactly the way they were without updating my software.
Load your backup - the conversion is not reversible

If you do not have a backup then your choices are to upgrade your computer to iPhoto '09 or to start over with your original photos losing all edits, keywords, albums,etc -- to do this quit iPhoto on your computer and drag the iPhoto library to the desktop - launch iPhoto and be sure that the iPhoto preference to "split items imported from the finder into events" is NOT checked and create a new library and open the iPhoto library on the desktop and go to the originals folder and drag each folder in it onto iphoto - this will recreate yoru events with the original photos

Can a photo book created in i photo be saved in pdf format or shared online with a customer before printing?

Can a photo book created in i photo be saved as a pdf or shared online in any way with a customer before printing?

Sure - once you make a PDF you can e-mail or share it as you want - although they can be large so you need a share capability for large file

I can't open Icloud Photos.

I can't open Icloud Photos. It says It is preparing my library but it won't open even after waiting for hours. My storage isn't full. I've tried different browsers and I have turned my computer on and off.

iCloud doesn't work that way.
You take images on your iOS 5.1 devices and Photo Stream "pushes" the images via Wi-Fi connection to your other devices and computers.
You take a picture using your iPhone and it is sent to your computer or other iOS 5.1 devices. You can't view the images online unless you use iOS 5.1 version of iPhoto ($4.99) to create "Journals". Journals are Web based viewing.

Moving a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop

Any idea how to move a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop in order to do some editing before submitting to apple for purchase? Iphoto on laptop is version 4.0 or 5.0. Desktop version has 8.0.
Any suggestions appreciated.

There's only one way to do it.
iPhoto stores your books etc within the main database file. There is no way to transfer this to another library. You'll need to copy the entire library to bring it to a machine with an internet connection.
Here's a tip: duplicate the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and open the Copy library. From these, delete any pics not in a book etc - put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it (iPhoto menu -> Empty Trash). That way you'll only bring the minimum you need with you to the machine with the internet connection.
However, beware - there's no guarantee the the book template you're using in v4 (or v5) is the same - or even available - in v7 (iLife 08)

Can't open my photo library after upgrading to iPhoto 11. is it possible to load iPhoto 9.0.1 after loading 11? have followed all other instructions but it still won't let me open iPhoto.

can't open my photo library after upgrading to iphoto 11. Is it possible to download iphoto 9.0.1 after installing '11. Have followed all the other instructions and am in a loop which doesn't allow me to access iphoto or my photos.

when iphoto wouldnt open we read the trouble shooting info and it said that we may have needed to download 9.0.1 if we had an older version. We obviously didn't download it before the upgrade and wondered if it would cause problems or indeed solve the problem if we downloaded it now!
When we try to open iphoto is says:
To open your library with this version of iphoto it first needs to be prepared
To prepare the library use the iphoto library upgrader available from Apple.
We have downloaded this twice now and it still sends us this message when we try to open iphoto.

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

I just backed up my photos by copying my iPhoto Library onto an external drive. Now the Library on my MacBook won't open. I can only open the photos if the external is plugged in. How can I resolve this issue?

Exactly what did you do?
The correct steps are
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
My guess is that that you have not switched iphoto to use the external drive yet - opttion launch and select libary
