Cant 'Buy a Book' in iphoto

Hi and help,
For some reason iPhoto wont allow me to buy a book,
I can create the book how i want it t look, i can click the buy book button, i then get a sheet in an envelope graphic which i can put in my postcode and click , nothing happens, when i click checkout, nothing happens either, the app doesnt crash, if i click cancel it goes back to the photo book,
I have checked my print location is set to UK, i checked my account details were all correct including delivery address etc.
iphoto version - 9.5.1
OSX- 10.9.4
heres the screen shot, obviously i realise the postcode is wrong in the picture.

Use the "Send Feedback" form to report a problem.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Perhaps it will give the problem a higher priority, if plenty of feedback arrives with a problem report.
But taking the pdf to a different print service, that can make high quality prints would be an option. Only, you will probably not get a similar quality binding and covers.

I cant create a book in iPhoto 5.0.4

Hi all
I cant create a book in iPhoto 5.0.4 - both the add new book button and the new book command in the menu are greyed out!
I have rebooted, checked permissions, etc, etc...all the usual.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Rob

Hi robsterc,
You must select an album or a group of images first, then go to File>new book

I cant buy a book unless i have my security answers

I need help i dont know my security question answers and it wont let me buy a book unless i have them??

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

Buying a book in Iphoto 8 - error with IMG file

HI, I've just created a book using Iphoto8, and when I click on buy album I'm told there is an "error with IMG 6653 and to delete the photo or to replace it with another". I have deleted the photo from the book, I have even thrown it in the trash bin, and emptied the trash bin, closed Iphoto, turned off my computer, logged back onto Iphoto replaced the page with new photos, reviewed the entire book to ensure I had no yellow triangle warnings of low quality (there are NONE) and when I click on buy I get the same exact error "problem with IMG 6653, delete or to replace.
Can anyone please help with this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried creating a new book and starting over? It may be a damaged database file that is messed up. Event though you rebuild the library and database it might still have some reference to that photo that it can't get rid of.
If all else fails you can rebuild the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It uses the information in the AlbumData.xml file to create a new library, leaving your current one untouched. It will keep the albums, keywords, titles, comments but not book, slideshow, calendars, etc. It should remove any reference to that bad image file. Try the first suggestion and then we'll go from there.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems. Help please!

Look for a page that has a similar layout:
The one photo per page layout is the easiest to miss. Just click on a background color to remove the problem.

How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with? I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)". All of the photos I'm using have names.

That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message...

except this major point i must admit the quality is quite good , but a bick lack of quality control and a customer disapointed at the end.
On the internet site it is not possible to send it back. So apple doesn't want to take in account that they mail sometimes fail, and want to satisfy their customer, because you have no other choice that accepting it.
best regards

Yes it is returnable.

I created a book on iPhoto. I click on the buy button, and I get a connecting message with a blue striped rectangle. I am connected to the internet and I have made books before without any problems. I have tried for the past two weeks at various times.

I am connected to the internet and I have made books before without any problems. I have tried for the past two weeks at various times and I get this same message each time. Any ideas about what is going on?

First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

.Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
See:
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
Is that the message?
"your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

When i attempt to buy a book created on iPhoto, i get a message that the book is incomplete when, in fact, all of the photo spaces are filled?

when i attempt to buy a book created on iphoto, it says i can't because all of the photo spaces are not filled with pics. when i go back and review the book, all spaces are filled.... any ideas

That is correct - you must have a photo in every photo frame to order

Problem buying book from iphoto

After having completed my book in iphoto, when i click to buy the book the connection to Apple store does not work.
How can thi be fixed?
R Gosselin

You need at least iPhoto '09 (iPhoto v8.1).
see: Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars - Apple Support
The Apple Store does no longer sell this version. But you could try to buy an iLife '09 installer DVD from Amazon.
This version runs on your system, see: iPhoto 8.1.2 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL970?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Did the test library work as it should have? If so then your current library is the culprit. So make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
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, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
