Can't upload Calendar with iphoto '08

I've got a calendar that I created using iphoto '08. I am trying to buy it, but it's failing to upload. I click on 'buy calendar', and it sits for a while saying 'connecting'. Then I get one of several error messages saying "This service is not available", or on other attempts: it gets as far as "Updating product information" before finally saying "A connection could not be established at this time".
I've got another computer with '09 on it. I can create a simple calendar there, and successfully get to connect. I don't want to have to recreate the calendar on the other computer. Is that possible? Is Apple trying to force people to upgrade?

You could try copying the 08 iPhoto library to the desktop of the other Mac, open it with iPhoto 09 to convert the library format to 09 and see if you can order the calendar then. Just don't copy the 08 library package into your Pictures folder and replace the 09 library. Keep the 08 library on the desktop.
There are no differences in the two versions of iPhoto as far as calendar themes is concerned so it must be something to do with the 08 version, library or connection from that Mac.
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 purchase photobook with iPhoto 7

    I spent hours creating a photobook but when I went to buy it it says sorry for the inconvenience, but you can't do this with iPhoto 7 - you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9. But when I try to update iPhoto it says sorry, you need I OS 10.9 or higher. I currently have OS X 10.8.5, but can't see 10.9 in the App store. I really want to purchase my photobook!

    Then you need to either
    1. Upgrade to OS 10.9 - which is free and thereafter purchase iPhoot 11 on the App Store
    or
    2. Purchase an iLife 11 install disk on Ebay or Amazon.

  • Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

    Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

    Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
    Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
    In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
    In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
    Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.

    Hi, Hope this is in the right place.
    I'm trying to upload photos into facebook from my iMac. I've clicked on the upload to facebook icon in iphoto but just get an error message saying 'error occurred with iPhoto - try again later. I've also had problems lately when I click on a photo to open it I just get a grey screen with an exclamation mark. I've downloaded the latest software but nothing seems to work.
    Can anyone help please?

  • Problem with making a book and calendar with iphoto

    I tried to make a book with iPhoto, but it won't give me any options if I want it hard bound, spiral or paperback. Do I need to reinstall it?
    The only thing I can play around with is the card option, the calendar won't work either.
    help!

    Thanks for the help Mohit

    The query in the first post is the same as what you are posting.

  • Can I sync calendar with anything other than Outlook?

    I have a PC running Windows XP, and Microsoft Office 2000, with no desire to upgrade since I infrequently use it. But as I understand it, iPhone does not sync with Office 2000. So I can't sync my calendar with Outlook on my computer. Is there anything else (an app?) that I can use. I have heard about Google calendar, but I understand that syncing there would erase what is currently in my iPhone calendar, which I don't want to do.
    Thanks,
    David

    hello,
    if you look at the Desktop Software page on the blackberry.com website, there is a section called "requirements" and in that section you have a paragraph with the list of PC software against which you can do a synchronization.
    apart from PC software, you can also synchronize with GMail Contacts, Google Calendar, Yahoo!Mail and probably some other like facebook contacts, facebook events.
    The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

  • My photolibrary can not be open with iphoto or rebuild in iphoto library manager?

    I can not open my Photolibrary in iphoto, the whole database seem to be one XML file, I whent to apple support and purchase iphoto librabry manager and here I can see an index of my photo librabry with event and album index and number of photos. However when I use the rebuild function I get the following error and the rebuild library is empty.
    "An error occurred trying to open the database at /Users/Desktop/iPhoto Library old/Database/Library.apdb (14)"
    I have also tried to import or drag the library into iphoto but this doesn't work either.
    Please help I have no back up on the last photo

    Do you have a backup of the library with all the photos except for the last import? If so bring it into the Pictures folder (rename the existing Library so it doesn't get overwritten) and open with iPhoto. Make sure it's working correctly and has all of the photos except for that last import/event.
    Once you have the backup library up and running move the old library to the Desktop and open it with the Finder:
    Click to view full size
    Locate the Originals folder (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters folder (iPhoto 11) and move it to the Desktop. Then look inside and try to find the sub folder for the last imported set of photos.  When you find it drag it into the open iPhoto application window to import them into the library.

  • Unable to upload photobook with Iphoto

    I am trying to order a photo book with Iphoto 9.6.  Everytime I try I get the error "error occured uploading order".  It was no problem to generate the pdf version via http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040.  Also tried to shut down computer and restart with Safe Boot.  Nothing worked.

    I had the same problem. I noticed that when I uploaded my phonebook, the system would assembly the book just fine -- however during the upload phase, it would start to upload,  create a small ball on the horizontal thermometer, and than hang. It appeared like the process started OK, but than got hung.
    I envisioned some gatekeeper letting me in, but than later slamming the gate shut. The only gate keeper I could think of the process was my credit card. I checked out the details on my CC data on file with iPhoto, only to find my actual  my credit card had been updated with a new expiration date, but the iPhoto data had not.
    I brought the iPhone CC data up to date and my phonebook went right through! 
    What made the problem difficult to find is that the system never issued any error message. It just hung. But I am OK now. Thanks for all the posts.

    If your profile is correct, you don't have iCloud. iCloud only comes with OS X 10.7.2 or better.

  • I can not open calendar with OS X Yosemite

    Since updating to Yosemite I can not open Calendar. The top of the screen is there (i.e. file, edit, view, etc.) but I can open the actual page.

    @drkpvc
    I am guessing that when you upgraded your iPhone to iOS 8 you said yes to the question 'Do you want to activate iCloud Drive'. This will have converted your iCloud account to a form that will only work with iOS 8, Yosemite and Windows.
    As Csound1 said Yosemite is not yet available. So if the above is correct you are stuck and will have to wait until Yosemite is released.
    One workaround you could try is opening the document on your iPhone and sending it via email to yourself. Then you hopefully will be able to save and open it on your Mac.

  • How can I upload photos from IPhoto to Facebook?

    How do I upload photos from IPhoto into my Facebook account?

    I am unable to upload photos to Facebook on my iPad Air and my iPhone 5s since I updated my devices to iO/S8. I hope Apple comes up with a fix pretty soon. I love iPhoto and would not like to resort to using something like Amizon Cloud Drive. Not unless I had to because iPhoto is not working with Facebook..
