Can't load photo book after crash

Hello, after spending 2+ hours creating a photo book, my mac suddenly crashed, I think due to the high temperature of the computer. The iPhoto application was still running when the computer shut down. After rebooting, I can't load my photo book anymore. The application says "Loading Book", but it stays like this forever.
Is it possible to recover, at least partially, the work that I was doing? Is there an actual "photo book" file somewhere in the computer?
Thank you... I'm quite frustrated right now.

In the future you could do what I do: create a new library for each book I make. I assemble the photos in my primary library into an album and move that album to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. That makes for a smaller library which can be easier to backup and archive for use and ordering additional copies at a later date: Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Use/Editing/Ordering at a Later Date.

  • How can i load photos from iphoto onto camera

    Hi,
    for some reason I can not load photos from iphoto back onto my canon camera anymore...
    situation: canon camera is connected to mac book pro. I have imported photos from the camera into iPhotos.
    unfortunately deleted them from the camera.
    now i would like to transfer them back onto the camera.
    It does not let me drag and drop the photos from iphoto to the camera.
    and I can not find a way to more the photos back.
    can anyone help?
    Thanks.
    k.

    The folks in the iPhoto community forum wait for questions like this. In any case from iPhoto select your photos. Then select export. Navigate to your USB sick and that's it.

  • Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395?

    Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395?  The model A1395 is described as "wi-fi only" and has a 30 pin connector for charging.
    [By contrast, this is NOT the iPad2 model A1396, which is described as "Wi-Fi/GMS/GPS AT&T" or the Model A1397, which is described as "Wi-Fi/CDMA/GPS Verizon". Nor is it the model A1337, described as "Wi-Fi/3G/GPS (Original)".]
    Wi-Fi only seems to me to have an ominous ring to it.  I am synching with my iPhone through the iCloud, if that is of any use.
    In addition, I should note that the photo files I want to look at in the iPad are large files, a little over 100 MB in JPEG format.  The desire is to display the whole image (these are archival photos of heirloom quilts) and then be able to focus in on specific details (by enlrging them so that the stitching and other details can be seen).  I mention this because I tthink there may be some 30 MB limit on the size of a file that the iPAD can handle.  Would I be able to examine a larger file (but perhaps npot as large as 100 MB) if I had 64 MB memory in the iPad?

    WiFi only refers to the fact that the iPad connects to the Internet via WiFi because it does not have cellular capability. That has nothing to do with the ability to put photos on the device.
    Sync the photos from the Mac via iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Select the folder from which your photos are located in the Sync Photos From Heading. If you use iPhoto - select that or navigate to the specific photos folder on the Mac.
    If you use iPhoto, select all of the albums, or events that you want to sync. If you use another photos folder, you can select one level of sub folders within that main folder.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Having 64GB of storage also has nothing to do with the ability to view the photos on the iPad since that refers to storage capacity. However, the larger the storage capacity, the more photos the iPad will be able to hold.
    I know of no limit on the size that a photo needs to be in order to be viewable on the iPad.
    If you use iCloud, you can sync photos that you shoot on the iPd and iPhone across devices via Photo Stream, but it just be turned on for this to work. Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream on. Any photos that you take on one device after photo stream is turned on, will sync to the other device.

  • HT4101 Can I load photo's from my IPad back onto my SD card through the Camera Connection Kit?

    Can I load photo's from my IPad back onto my SD card through the Camera Connection Kit?

    No, it only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app on the iPad, not from the iPad. You can copy photos that you've copied to the iPad via the kit to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    You can indeed.  Simply drag the folder containing the images (or the images themselves) from the hard drive to the iPhoto icon in the dock (same one you click on to open iPhoto.  This will cause iPhoto to start importing whatever you drag in.
    Two suggestions:
    Have a backup of your current library before you do the import just in case iPhoto encounters a corrupt file during import which might damage your existing library of images:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    Import the images in small batches if there are many of them.  That way if there is an error with one of the images during import you can easily identify where the bad image is coming from.
    Cheers.

  • How do you add pictures to your photo book after saving it? Can you re-save it to send to blurb?

    How do you add pictures to your photo book once you have saved it? Moreover, can you save it again and send it to Blurb.

    Go back to Library and drag the extra photos into the book collection.

  • Lightroom 5: Lost photo Book after Lightroom crash

    LIghtroom shot down after crash and now only shows empty foto book. Pictures included in the book however are still shown as used in the picture bar. Is there a way to restore the original book without backup?
    I'm working on a PC and restarting Lighroom and PC both failed.
    thanks!

    Without Backup- No.!
    If you do have a Catalog Backup, it may be there.
    Good advice is- always "Create a Saved Book" (that will be in the Collections Panel) when you have a basic design started. A "Saved Book" always updates as you alter pages and images in the Book module.
    And always backup the catalog!

  • Can you share photo books

    Hello!
    I am making a photo book on my macbook as a gift for a client at work and i want to put it on my boss's macbook pro for backup. I tried to email it and drop it in to an email but i cant drag it or open it. Is there any way to move this or share it to another computer? Let me know asap! Thanks
    Stepanie

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you connect to your boss's MBP via a LAN? If so you can connect to his Mac and copy the library to designated folder. Otherwise, put the library on a Flash drive and transfer it that way.
    If the library is large you can reduce it to just the photos in the book (and others that you think you might want to use) by following Old Toad's Tutorial 9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Later Use/Editing. The bottom line is that the entire library has to be transferred so make it as small as possible, i.e cull out the unneeded photos first.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Can't load photo dvd

    Hi--having trouble with the DVDs of my daughter's wedding. I can't get my new MacBook Pro to recognize the DVD as having any content. When I load one, it spins for a few minutes and then just comes back out. I can still load on my old MacBook Pro (running Snow Leopard) and my old PC. I'm wondering in there's something wrong with my disk drive or if there's something about Mountain Lion that won't read the disk. They are just jpgs. There's no software on the DVDs--just the photo files. My DVD drive works fine playing DVD movies.
    Thanks!

    Sounds like the optical drive. Have you tried other DVD's?

  • Can't create photo book in iPhoto 9.6 (910.29)

    I am trying to create a photo book in iPhoto. I have created books in the past but well over a year ago so I don't know when the  issue could have started. When I click on create, seemly nothing happens however when I quit iPhoto and start it up again, I find a copy of the photo book in my albums list rather than under projects. It does not behave like a photo book as I can't edit it and the display is different. I can't even open old photo books. I have tried countless things to try to make it work including: renaming my iPhoto library and then reinstalling iPhoto. With the new library created by reinstalling iPhoto, I am able to create a Photo Book. But when I switch to my old library (45, 000+ pictures and many years of my life), it again won't create a photo book. Well my library may be corrupted, but when I rebuild it, repair it, etc. there is no change in the behaviour of iPhoto.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this problem. Many Thanks.
    Using a iMac and OS 10.10

    Then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.  Repeat with Option #1 if necessary.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can't synch address book after update to 10.4.8

    I can't synch my address book after updating to 10.4.8
    The text and the progress bar on the left were messed up, the "synch now" button was greyed out, and periodically the spinning ball appears when the cursor is in the systems preferences window.
    After many tries and 15 minutes, suddenly the synch window cleaned up and I was able to synch the address book successfully.
    Anybody know how to solve this problem?

  • Can I order photo books or prints for shipping to Canada?

    Will the iPhoto photo book and prints deliver to Canada?  Is there an extra cost for shipping?

    I think Skizcanada is asking if you can order the new iPhoto books from iPhoto for iOS. This new feature only became available yesterday. The Canadian iTunes (web) store indicates that the book feature is available. (Not sure if this link is going to stick.)

  • Can't order photo book, suggestions?

    Whenever I try to order a photo book through Aperture, it requires me to login in with my apple id. Which I enter, but then I have to go through the steps to verify my acct as if it's a new account (password, secret question, but it recognizes my birthday already).
    Then I verify my address, which it populates automatically, but doesn't like the city, state, zip code portion.
    I reenter that info.
    Eventually, it'll give me more errors, usually ending with "try again later".
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what I'm missing?
    I had hoped there was an update I was missing to Aperture, but everything is current.
    I've gone through my account settings, verified my address, created a new password.
    Now, I'm at a loss of what's creating the issue.
    If anyone has any input, it'd be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    jp

    yeah, i came across that issue too when i was trying to solve this problem.
    sure enough, my password was too short by today's standards.
    so i've updated everything.
    still the same issue though, won't let me order
    thanks though
    anyone have any other suggestions to make aperture accept my appleid, so i can order?
    thanks
    jp
    btw, i've just updated aperture too

  • I just discovered that I can't load photos and music to my iPhone.

    I have loaded a bunch of photos of my recent trip to my new iPhone only to find out that I can't load music to the phone without erasing the photos. Is there a workaround  to this?

    I loaded the photos through iTunes from iPhoto, the folder is on my computer in iPhotos. And still checked in iTunes.  Here is the exact message I get when I click on "Synch Music":
    Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPhone “Arthur Fenster’s iPhone” will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
    Maybe I am misinterpreting but it sounds like "existing content" means the photos, which can be put back on but then I suspect the music will be replaced.

  • Can't order photo book or connect to app store

    I can't connect to the app store or order a photo book.  took my computer to the see an apple genius today - they reset to factory settings and had me re-install my backed up applications from time capsule.  still not working

    Two things to try - to to the Apple store and re-enter all of your informatin into your account (do not just verify - re-enter) and be sure one click buying is on
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
