Can I send an iPhoto book to my parents as a PDF? I need their input before I order the ibook.

You can create a PDF preview of your book, see this link:
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
The PDF will be too large to email to your parents - copy it to a USB stick or burn it as CD or DVD and send it as a letter. Or upload it to a server for download, your Dropbox, etc.

Can I send an iPhoto book I've made in iPhoto 6 to my new laptop so I can print it?

Urgent help needed!
I'm making my boyfriend a book for our anniversary, but I had to do it on my home computer that has iPhoto 6 because my laptop was being serviced. It won't let me order the book from iPhoto 6, and when I tried to upgrade iPhoto, it said I had to upgrade my desktop. I need to order this VERY soon and I would like to avoid upgrading my desktop if I can!
Is there any way I can send the book project to my laptop and order it from there? I really don't want to have to do the whole thing over again...
Thanks for your help!

Copy your iPhoto Library to your laptop; best drag it to on an external disk and then connect the drive to your laptop. Double-click the copied iPhoto library to open it in iPhoto on your laptop. The laptop should now start to upgrade the libary to the current version.
Preview the resulting book carefully. Changing iPhoto versions may change the layout of he book because some themes have been upgraded to.
After your book has been ordered, you can switch back to your current library by double clicking it to open or launch iPhoto with the ⌥-key held down.

Can I send an iphoto book to someone else's computer?

Greetings! I am so frustrated! I have created an iphoto book for a student and purchased copies of the book online. No problem. The problem, now, however, is that he would like the techno version of his book. Makes sense to me. Perhaps he'd like to modify it, or whatever. But I cannot figure out how to send it to him. The only thing I can do is purchase it (which I've already done). Any help with this would be oh so gratefully received.
Wendy

Well, thanks so much all of you! I'm so computer illiterate that I guess I'll need to find an in-person mac expert to help, if help is to be had. After all of your advice, I have tried 'printing' as a pdf. What I actually tried was emailing as a pdf. No go. File WAY too big. I tried 'printing' as a pdf and saving to a flash drive. I THOUGHT that would maybe work, but it didn't.
This is a tricky one since my student is international. We did the book in southern Africa, he is currently living in the States, and I am currently living in Canada. On my mac, which is where the book is in iphoto, I can ONLY buy the book if I send it to a Canadian address. I DID buy the book--several copies thereof--and had it sent to my Canadian address and distributed it from there. No, however, this student would like access to the iphoto file. Wow! I had no idea this would end up being so difficult. Next time I create such a photo book I will try to find another way to do it that is more flexible. I haven't tried Shutterfly, etc...
But, BOTTOM LINE, thank you so much to all of you who tried to help me out!
Cheers, Wendy

How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
anybody has an idea?

Stephan:
If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I am a Canadian staying in England for a few weeks. How can I get an iPhoto Book printed win England and sent as a gift to an English relative? With my account, it seems that Apple only allows for my book to be printed in Canada.

in the iPhoto preferences change the print products country to the UK and give it a try - there may be some restirctions on billing but it has worked for some people

Can I share my iPhoto book?

I created an Iphoto book for my twins' 12th birthday and ordered copies for each; however, my parents and other family members may want to view or order copies. . Any way I can share it with them on-line?

Create a PDF file of the book as follows:
1 - in the book mode type Command+P. In the print window click on the PDF button and select Save as PDF from the menu.
2- email the PDF file to those who might want to order a copy.
Another way to share the book is to create an iDVD video slideshow of it according to this tutorial: iP05 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book and burn DVD video discs to distribute. I do it with all the books I give away as gifts. Lets the receipient view the book (with music) on their TV set rather than thumbing thru the book with family members.

How can I send my address book to my new samsung note 10.1 2014 edition?

Sync it to an app on your computer using iTunes, then sync your Samsung to the same app. Or sync your address book to gmail, yahoo or hotmail, then sync your Samsung to the same service.

My credit card and address are registered in the UK. I would like to send an iphoto book to German but the site will not allow me to change the country and therefore the address.

HT204655 How can I access a iPhoto book from time machine without it being modified by Photos?

When I updated to Yosemite I didn't realize the ramifications for iPhoto (silly me). When I migrated my iPhoto library to Photos I have somehow lost a couple of iBooks I had created. I have a number of older iPhoto books under projects, just not the most recent ones. I have checked my other libraries and they are not there. I realized that Apple might have the book in their system from the print order I made a few weeks ago, which they did. And I was able to reorder the book from my invoice for the last order and with help from some very nice Apple support people. However they cannot migrate the book back to me. So now I need to try and find it so I don't have to recreate it. I think it must be in Time Machine somewhere but I am afraid if I find it and try to reinstall it, Yosemite will do something with it. I have noticed when I opened another book that Yosemite said the format was no longer available and reformatted it to another template. Help.

So when I try to uodate iPhoto from my applications folder I am told to uplate IT from the App Store and when I go there I am told the updae is not available in Canada.
You can no longer buy iPhoto from the appStore anywhere, and also not update it from the "Updates" tab of the AppStore. You can reinstall it, if it is showing among your Purchases at the App Store and associated with your AppleID.
Sign into the AppStore look at the Purchases tab. If you do not see iPhoto there, try to unhide your Purchases as described on this page: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
If iPhoto shows on your Purchases tab, reinstall as described in this User Tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
You may need to unhide your Purchases, if you do not see iPhoto on the Purchases page when you sign into the AppStore with your AppleID:
See this link: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support

Can I make an iPhoto book that is only 10 pages long?

I want to make a hardcover iPhoto book, but only have 15 photos to go into the book, so 20 pages is too many pages. Can anyone advise? Does iPhoto let you make a book that is less than 20 pages or do you have to fill that whole 20 pages in order to make the book? Thx

You don't have to fill those extra pages. Pick a blank page layout but not the all gray layout. That requires a photo for the background and you can't order the book unless it's been filled with a photo. Most of the themes have a layout that is essentially blank. Some, however, have the theme's colors which might not look good as a filler page.
If you have such a theme you can select a page with a photo background and use a blank, white image file to make that page a blank, white page or whatever you would like on the page. Create the page, landscape, in a text editor or other applications and use the Print->PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto menu option. This will create a jpg image file of that page and it's layout and import it into iPhoto where you can add it to the book.

Can I ship an iPhoto Book from Australia to China?

I have made an iPhoto book for my friends in China, detailing the good times we had over the years.
Can I order it and give the address in China, in Chinese?
It seems a waste to have it mailed to me and then for me to mail it again.

That option is not available.
