Can't order book with 1.5

Last night I wanted to order a book (3 copies, actually). I thought it might be better to do this before upgrading to 1.5, but when I started the "Buy Book" process, Aperture put up a window with a strong recommendation to upgrade BEFORE ordering. OK - they probably know something I don't, I figured, so I did the upgrade. Aperture 1.5 started up and seemed to be acting normally, so I reviewed the book to make sure it didn't get munged in the library conversion. It looked fine, so I (finally) clicked on "Buy Book" again. After spending several minutes assembling the book, I was presented with an alert box:
Unable to authenticate user.
This user could not be authenticated.
I tried contacting [email protected] and they blew me off with the excuse that they did not answer "technical" questions. They recommended I sift through the Aperture support site, and if that didn't work, to call "XXlocal_phone_numberXX". If they are going to respond with form letters, I think they ought to fill in the blanks first.
Fortunately, I had a backup plan. I kept a 1.1 version of the library and used 1.1 on my PowerBook to order.
Anyway - does anybody have a workaround or solution to this problem? Thanks.

I finally got an "answer" from Apple on this one. I find it surprising that they would not want to help me with a problem that prevents me from ordering prints or books under Aperture 1.5, because I've spent over $1000 this year on such orders.
What I received from Apple shows a very dim understanding of the problem, especially when one considers the fact that print and book ordering was working fine under 1.1.

  • Can't order books with OSX 10.6.7 and Iphoto 7

    I have Iphoto 7 and since I can't order books made with this version. I have OSX 10.6.8, so I cannot buy latest version.
    Where can I get Iphoto 8 or Iphoto 11 so I can still ordering books without updating OSX?
    I have a quite old iMac, so that's why I prefer not to update from Snow Leopard as it runs so good on my Mac.
    Thanks

    You can purchase an iLife 09 or iLife 11 disk on ebay or amazon. Both will run on 10.6.8

    No, ibooks from Apple are tied to your iTunes account and they can't be lent or transferred to other accounts.

  • Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

    using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

    You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
    There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

  • After Leopard reinstall and upgrade can't order book

    Had to do an erase and install yesterday and restored my harddrive from Time Machine. (My iMac hung on restart and that's the advice I got from support). Also did the 7.1.3 update.
    Now, I can't order iPhoto books. It hangs on Connecting... when I hit order book, or, if I get past that, iPhoto will assemble the book and then hang when it tries to place the order and give me an error message about checking my network connections (it seems fine in other programs, but I'm not trying to upload a large file in anything else either).
    Any ideas? I was hoping to order a book before the coupon expired tomorrow.

    Karen, Gale & Drowzy,
    Am having the same "Network Connection Error" ever since last evening. I have contacted iPhoto/Photo Services Support HERE. and will post their response as soon as I hear something. I too am worried that the special discount will expire prior to our ordering. I have talked with an Apple tech, and he did acknowledge a problem. But he suggested that I post to the above for "exact" help. You may want to do the same.
    Good Luck,
    John

  • IPhoto 2 can't order book, how to duplicate?

    I have successfully created a book. When I click "Order Book," the book assembles, but when it gets to the "Connecting" window, it says "There is a problem. Try again later."
    I've tried plenty of times. The book will not order.
    I've updated all of my software. Customer service suggested that I try ordering under a different username. However, how do you transfer files? When I duplicate the albums, only the photos are duplicated, but the way I have arranged them on the pages of each book are not. Is there a way to maintain this as well?

    I'm not familiar with Version 2 but you can do a print to PDF and then go to SharedInk.com and upload that pdf file for printing and binding. They have very similar covers (as I remember the cover photo is actually on the first page and there's a window in the front cover). Many users have reported very satisfactory results with SharedInk.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

  • Ordering Books with iPhoto 1.1.1

    I just spent all afternoon creating my first book with iPhoto - the reversion that came with my original white iBook. Now it seems I can't order a printed book with this version - MyPublisher.com only works with iPhoto 5 or higher and I can't upgrade to v5.
    Is there anyway to get a book out of my hard work? Or do I need to buy iLife and try to run it on my incredibly slow machine?

    You can upgrade to iPhoto 2 for free here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120188
    once installed Software Update in System Preferences will offer the last update iPhoto 2.0.1
    iPhoto 2 will save your organization and upgrade the library
    My publisher also requires OSX 10.4

  • Can I print book with text blocks instead of photos?

    I have spent all day creating a book to print which included a photo on front, poems in place of photos on all pages (which I'd previously made into jpgs by creating layers in photoshop). I get to the ordering stage and I get an error window saying:
    DEFAULT TEXT: your book appears to have default text that has not yet been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue with your order?
    SO what does the above mean exactly?
    And is it not possible to print text pages instead of photos?
    Iphoto doesn't appear to give an open to type text on each page, but maybe iphoto 6 (iLife) does???
    And how come it's not possible to ship my order internationally?
    Thank you in advance for your help in answering my questions

    I haven't printed out an iPhoto book myself, but the message you are getting seems to indicate that you did not fill in some parts of page templates. If so, then those parts will print blank even though iPhoto shows them containing default text. You probably wanted them blank anyway, though.
    As for using iPhoto to print out a book with only one picture, that is probably doing things the hard way. If you want to print a book of text, there are now web options to do so costing about the same as an iPhono book. I don't think iPhoto is going to add templates sson for non-photo books.
    As for overseas shipping, that is probably an issue of duties and shipping costs. Many US sellers on the Web will ship only to the US or perhaps Canada.

  • Can't choose order quantity, can't order book

    I'm trying to order 3 identical books. I click "order book". The "Order Book" page pops up. I'm not able to change the quantity from 0 to 1. The only available buttons are "cancel" and "set up account" I click "set up account" and it opens the "set up account" page. This allows me to sign-in. I have 1-Click and an apple account. I enter my id and password and click "sign-in". An erro pops up "There was an error while accessing your account information. Please check your network connection and try again." I click "ok".
    I'm online typing this with my open network connection. By logging onto the net or checking my email are my only ways of checking my network connection. Everything looks like I should be able to sign-in and buy a book. But it's not working.

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6998840&#6998840
    Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • HT4059 Can I share books with other iPad or iPhone  users?

    Can I share books in my iBooks library with other iPhone or iPad users? If so how?

    ibooks (and other content from iTunes) are tied to your account, and there is not currently a way to lend or transfer content to another account - so unless they have access to your account then no, you can't share.

  • How can you share books with family members?

    I purchased a book in iTunes and it's on my library shelf. How can I share this book with my sister?

    If she has access to your Apple ID she can have your iBook on her device.  If she syncs to the same computer, just sync it to her device.  If she syncs to a different computer, copy the book from your iTunes library onto a flas drive (you'll find it on your hard drive in iTunes>iTunes Music>Books; it's an .epub file), then authorize your Apple ID on her computer (iTunes>Store>Authorize this Computer), then add the book to her library (iTunes>File>Add to Library) where she can sync it to her device.
