Can't create iPhoto Books and Calendars

I have OS10.10 on a 3.1 GHZ Core i7 iMac. It is a new machine and works very well. When I try to create a calendar or book for order in iPhoto nothing happens. It creates an album but beyond that I can not do anything.
Anyone else have this problem.
Thanks,
John

What are the steps you are using - what version of iPhoto do you have?
one way is to create an album and put th photos for the book or calendar in the album - open the album and select all then under share create the book or calendar
If it does not work what exactly does happen? What error messages do you get?

Creating iphoto book and can't seem to view/ work on only one page at a time.

I am creating an iPhoto book and can't seem to view/work on only one page at a time. The Navigator, that allows you to focus on a part of the page is actually 1 1/2 pages in size so 1 1/2 pages are in view when trying to work on one page. What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this. It is very distracting viewing half of a previous page when trying to create a new page and write a story to go with the related pictures.

My Navigator seems to be to large. It covers 1 1/2 pages while in the training information it shows as the size of one page. Is there a way to adjust the size of the Navigator?
You can hover the mouse over the left border of the Navigator - then the cursor will turn into a resize cursor and you can drag the border and make the Navigator panel smaller by enlarging the source list.
Or drag the lower right corner of the iPhoto window and shrink the appliaction window. This will only make the navigator smaller - the source list and information panel will stay the same size.

Can't 'Create Saved Book' and continue to use Quick Collection to update book?

I was creating a book in LR4.1 using a Quick Collection. After getting pretty far into my book and being content with my progress, I clicked 'Create Saved Book'. Now I found that I couldn't access the Quick Collection I was using to continue updating my book. I could only access one or the other (the saved book at it's current incomplete state OR the Quick Collection with a blank book layout). What did I do wrong??

The saved book is now a new collection, with a book-icon in front. You add more images by adding them (e.g. via drag and drop) to this new collection in library module.
While selected you switch over to book module and can continue to add pages and fill them with the newly added images.
You might run into another bug though, by which you will have lost your entire layout, but the filmstrip still claims the number how often an image was placed into the lost layout.
If you are working on a book be sure to create a backup of your catalog every time you exit LR as this might be your only way to retrieve at least an older status of your book.
Copy-paste text into text boxes in book module has been reported to trigger the bug rather often.
Good luck,
Cornelia

IPhoto Books and Calendars

Is it true that I cannot get a book printed from IPhoto just because I live in Australia??
John

Hi there TD,
Thanks for the reply. I know its not personal etc. However, In between my first post and now, I have managed to find another website from which I had to download a software ptogram then compile my 22 page book. The file was then sent to the UK for printing and the books I ordered returned to me via post. Total turnaround time less than 14 days. Pretty **** good I think.
Its just a shame the service is not possible via Apple/iPhoto under the same or similar conditions. Why can't I order my book from the service providers in the USA? After all we sent a man to the moon 40 years ago???
Cheers

Help!! How can I again purchase my photo books and calendars?

Puchase of calendars and photo books is no longer possible from my computer. I have an iMAC, Tiger 10.4.11. !!!!! It seems incredibly stupid to me that I can no longer purchase my own iphoto books and calendars and that Apple, has never warned me or offered me a solution... I asked in the local apple store, and they said my computer is too old (5years) - but I think that is just bad customer's service! I need to solve my problem... anyone?

It's got nothing to do with the age of your Mac, it's the version of your software.
And of course you can purchase your own books etc, just not from Apple.
Regards
TD

Can I create a book and have it shipped to somebody else's address overseas if it is a gift?

No. The shipping address needs to be in the same country as the credit card's billing address.

How to synchronize Address Books and Calendar Books in Mavericks 10.9.2, I am unable to synchronize my Address and Calendar Books informations with my iPhone 4 via iTunes

Since I updated my MacBook Pro's OS X version 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.2, I am unable to synchronize my Address and Calendar Books informations with my iPhone 4 via iTunes. What do I need to do to update these data ?

I cannot synchronize the Address Book and Calendar data, even by means of iCloud or similar servers. It appears these data are not selected automatically during synchronization. How can one select Address Book and Calendar Book in Mavericks for synchronization ?

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

I hit vertical text in my iPhoto Book and now I can't change it back, help!!

I am creating an iPhoto Book, and wanted some vertical text, so I highlighted my text and selected "vertical". It didn't go vertical, but now any time I highlight any text I can't see it, and I can't change the setting back, nor can I find any help anywhere on this topic. Please help!!

This may have helped iTunes (it can see the iPhoto library - not sure if it could before, hadn't tested it). iMovie still doesn't see the library though. Instead, it sees a library on the internal disk with nothing in it -- there's actually no library there. iMovie shows the external disk, but does not show an iPhoto library on it.
Thanks for your reply!

HT5071 Can I create a book using the IBooks Author word processing software, save it as a PDF, then have it professionally printed by an offset press to sale in brick and mortar stores? If so, is this procedure free me from any IBooks restrictions?

It's your content, under your control.
If you output as an .ibooks file, and you want to sell it, the store is the only outlet, otherwise, you can do as you wish.

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto
