Cant upload to Blurb from Lightroom 5

Trying to upload a book from Lightroom 5 to Blurb , but each time its says it cant render a certain page, I have changed the image but still happens .
Any help out there please ???
Thank you

I had the same problen with Lightroom 5 - Prepares the files but won't Upload to Blurb. Tried numerours times. It is a Landscape size Book 132 Pages. There is a BUG in Lightroom and here is how I got it to work:
Check each slide and make sure APPLY BACKGROUND GLOBALLY, GRAPHIC or BACKGROUND COLOR and not checked,. If so Uncheck them.
Go to EDIT and SELECT ALL Slides in the Book.
Select Apply Background Globally - turn it off and on several times, then leave it off
Select GRAPHIC - turn it off and then turn it on and off several times
Select BACKGROUND COLOR - turn it on then off then on then off
I ended up with APPLY GLOBALLY unchecked for Every Page.
GRAPHIC was turned on with a Graphic set at 12% Opacity on every Page
Again check each page first for these Checkmarks or just fix exverything with SELECT ALL.
Background Color was Turned off. 
NOW UPLOAD THE BOOK - It took a couple hours but it uploaded without a hitch., I turned off all Firewalls and Plugged directly into the Router. I am using an IMac 27" with 32 GB of memory and this is the only way it would work. The Mac is about 7 days old and Lightroom 5 is also 7 days old. BUGGIEST piece of software I have ever used.
Note - one of the above steps fixes the BUG - I am not sure which one but one will fix your book. It finally uploaded to BLURB today. It took a few hours though.

  • Issues when uploading book to Blurb from Lightroom 5

    have Lightroom 5 and a Mac computer
    About a month ago , I uploaded my book to Blurb from Lightroom - no issues.
    Today after taking out a few photos , also removing 2 page spreads , justifying the printed pages to the right instead of the middle of the page -
    The book would not upload - just hung. Contacted my ISP - internet connections have not slowed or changed.
    As an experiment I tried to upload a previous book from last year that successfully uploaded - this time it also hung.   - not error message - When I tried to exit Lightroom I receive a message that it is uploading to Blurb - but nothing happens .  No matter how many times I try.
    Also unable to create a PDF as well - also hangs  - no error message.
    This is the message I received from Blurb: when I contactd support
    Check to see if you are able to create a PDF of the book. If yes,
    If you're on a wireless connection please connect directly to your router/internet connection using a cable instead. This can often be enough to allow the upload to complete.
    Ensure your firewall and/or any security programs are temporarily disabled (Some software with known issues include Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security and Kaspersky).
    Turn off services such as Carbonite or Little Snitch.
    If your upload fails again, please let me know at what stage it does so.
    Best regards,

    My response:
    1.  Unable to create a PDF.
    2.  I do not have a wireless connection / I have an internet connection with a cable
    3.  Do not have firewall / Zone, Alarm Norton Internet security or Kaspersky
    4. Do not have Carbonite or Little Snitch.
    5 The uploading path has a blank with a x at the end

    Hi Sue,
    Thanks for your reply.
    It sounds like your best bet is to contact Lightroom support directly from the link below. They should have more detailed information to help you with this problem. (Blurb only handles the actual printing of your file or the conversion into a Blurb ebook).

  • Photographs uploaded to Behance from Lightroom 5 are not oriented properly. What can I do?

    Photographs uploaded to Behance from Lightroom 5 are not oriented properly. What can I do?

    Hello,
    Thanks for writing. The photo will be oriented exactly as it is uploaded, as we have no rotate feature. Before uploading, please open the file and make sure that it is uploaded in the orientation that you would like. If you're still having trouble (i.e. your image looks correct before you upload it, but is rotated incorrectly on Behance), your original file is likely not showing its true orientation. Please try saving the file again, or making a duplicate and saving that before uploading.

  • Why does my book not upload to Blurb from the Lightroom 4.2 book module?

    I am trying to up load a 40 page 12" x 12" photo book to Blurb from the book module in Lightroom 4.2.  It renders the pages and then having rendered the cover gets stuck, about 50% to 60% through the process. None of the photographs are starred or colour coded. I have uploaded successfully from this iMac in the last few weeks.  I please advise.

    Hi
    I have had the same problem for a week. I have made about 25 attempts to upload an admittedly large book, and finally got one over to Blurb. The next problem is that some of the pictures are upside down! Blurb are referring me to Lightroom support as they say they only print the books. Some of the messages I got when trying to upload the books were general failure messages, but some said "problem with Blurb servers".

  • Uploading edited photos from Lightroom to Picasa

    Hi I have recently purchased Lightroom 4. I have edited my photos and saved them as JPEG. I exported them to my computer and wanted to select some for my Picasa web album. I have never resized previously and uploaded full size as I thought they are my back up if I lost everything here. Anyway when I tried to upload to Picasa it said the image was too large. Some were around 3-4MB which i thought was ok?
    Help please!!
    Thanks in advance =)
    Message was edited by: Brett N

    Actually, I just took a quick look on some Google help pages, and I may have got the size thing slightly wrong - it seems that the 2048 long edge is specifically for Google+, not Picasa:
    "Automatic resizing
    All photos uploaded in Google+ will be automatically resized to 2048 pixels (on their longest edge) and won't count towards your free storage quota.
    All photos uploaded from the Picasa software or in Picasa Web Albums over the free size limit will count towards your 1 GB of free storage. When you reach your storage limit, any new photos you upload larger than the free size limit will be automatically resized to 2048 pixels (on their longest edge)."
    As I tend to use Google+, I just went for the 2048 size as I prefer to do my own re-sizing prior to upload rather than rely on someone else to do it. Therefore, the implication is that you an upload full-size files to Picasa Web, but that there's a finite limit on how many such images you could store on there. Perhaps you're hitting that limit if you already have a lot on there?
    In the export dialogue, you'll see a section on image size, and you can choose the "long edge" option and then enter the max size in pixels (make sure you pick pixels, not inches, cm, etc). Sorry I can't be more specific, but I don;t have LR available right now so can't check for the exact terminology used in the interface, but I'm sure you can find it.

  • Connecting to Blurb from Lightroom 5.6 didn't work.

    Hi
    I have create a book in Lightroom 5.6 and want to send it to Blurb. No problem to create a account in Blurb but when i want to send my book to Blurb a green pop-up appears, i type my mail and the password, press the Send and then, nothing happens.

    Ok..
    Ian.. make sure your Mac meets Snow Leopard requirements >  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
    If you you can upgrade, better check the startup disk in case it needs repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left in the panel then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If the disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, check Available and Capacity at the bottom of the window.
    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. If necessary, more would be better before upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • HT204150 i cant upload my contacts from my yahoo or icloud on to my new iphone

    they switched my phone because the top button wasnt working nd i had to restore my phone it all my icloud and yahoo contacts arent coming up anymore

    Your Yahoo contacts do not come from restore, they are synchronized after restore process from Yahoo server. If they didn't come, after restore is over, delete and readd yahoo account.
    Your Icloud contacts should come if you do have them, check if you do, by going to www.icloud.com on the computer. Sign in and see if you have contacts. If you do, make sure you signed in to the same account on the phone.

    you just have to activate it,carrier charges might be applied by doing that. If it still not working, you can contact your carrier for assistance regarding that matter. I believe you got it from your carrier right?

  • Image appears flat when published from Lightroom 4 to Smugmug but not when exported as jpgs, help?

    I have searched the forums and the internet to no avail, I cannot figure out why an image I am publishing directly to smugmug via LR 4 appears flat. My guess is it has to do with the color space since upon export as a JPG the image contrast appears fine. I shoot camera RAW but copy as DNG upon import, I cannot locate color settings aside from the external editing options. Why is this happening? I would love to continue uploading/publishing directly from lightroom to smugmug.
    Here is a link to the flat image uploaded via the smugmug plug in

    Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    No, I'm not sure links works in an interactive PDF (it has SWF-player embedded).
    The default slide quality since 6.1 is now Optimized, I have been pleading for that for reasons like what happened with you. If you use 24-bit graphics (maybe with transparent pixels), or want crisp text, it is logical that you cannot achieve that with 8-bit quality. But not every CP-user is knowledgeable about that kind of graphics stuff.
