Error message buying Photo Book

I have prepared a photo book using iPhoto v9.6 and when I click to buy the book I receive this message "An error occurred while contacting the Apple Online Store. Please try again". I kept trying but no joy.
I have tried rebooting the computer and the router but to no avail. Any suggestions? Is this connected to Apples recent accessing issues?

have you checked your payment information for your appleID? Sometimes this problem occurs, when you need to update the expiration date of your Credit Card.are you able to buy a dream from the iTunes Store?
Check your settings at the Apple Store:

Click the link to your account (to the left of the shooting Cart). Enter all information again, not just check it - there may be invisible character. Make sure, that Express Checkout is enabled.

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Suddenly iPhoto gives me the error message "your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable". HELP

Suddenly iphoto gives me error message 'your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable'. What can I do?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?

Hi,
I like iPhoto for its features and ease of use; however, I'm unclear on its privacy policy.
When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?
Can Apple use my pictures to advertise Apple products or services?
I've asked these questions twice to the apple privacy postmaster, but they only reply with a boiler plate of links to get further support or they simply ignore my email. Should I assume the worse?
I like iPhoto, but I'm not going to use it if I don't know that my privacy is satisfactorily safeguarded.
Thank you for any insight

When buying photo book operation stops at processing stage with msg unable to connect try again

Help please When buying photo book operation stops at processing stage with msg..unable to connect...try again...been trying again over 2 days. any sugestions appreciated

I (quite honestly) am one of those folks that generally do not read the KB articles associated with a patch or UR or SP - as you don't expect details like have been put into this particular one.
But as Kristian pointed out - within that KB article is the SQL script that modifies / updates this SQL Stored Procedure.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2014/01/29/how-to-update-scvmm-2012-r2-to-update-rollup-1.aspx
Needless to say, the feedback was given to MSFT that folks would overlook that this SQL script needed to be run. So we are just trying to help out.

Error Message When Uploading Book "One of Your Files.."

Hi, When I go to 'BUY' the book I created I keep getting the "Error Occurred with one of your files" message, and the upload does not go through. How can I tell what this error is(which photos), and is there another way to send the book in?
Dina

I had the same problem and am looking for the same answer. I thought maybe my pictures sizes were off, and checked them, but that only led to more questions for me. I used the family album format, and read that you should make your pictures a 4x3 size for the books. but since the frames are all different sizes in the book, (some small, some large) I'm not sure about how they will actually print. Let me know if you find out anything further, and I will do the same!

Error message when uploading book for printing. All images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large to upload? What size is required and how do I reduce size in Aperture?

I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?

Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.

CANNOT buy photo book from Aperture 3.3.1

I've created a photobook using Aperture 3 and went to submit it for buying
After logging in at the first screen
> I reconfirmed my password, answered my security question, entered date of birth
> Accepted terms and conditions
> Entered billing information
> Entered shipping information (which is exactly the same as billing, though I didnt tick the option box, because of the following reason)
Pressed save and then I get a message:
"Please try again later"
There was no other error message, doesn't tell me whats wrong or anything else
I noticed 2 other Aperture users also having a similar problem, but their posts didnt receive any solution, so I decided to post my own
Please help out if you know of any ideas/solutions
Thanks in advance

Same issue ordering photo prints with error message
- Please try again later -
Solved as follows:
1. reset password (appleid.apple.com) according to Apple standards (i.e. they will let you know)
2. security question answers had to 6 characters or longer (oddly without saying so Apple...?)
Thats it. I really hate when things like this happens, you spend hours on blog sites when, really, I should be doing, well, something else..)

Error message for photo on third of three photo page

I'm dragging and dropping just fine, but on one month where i'm doing three photos (actually the default for March in the Animals Theme), I get the ! in the yellow triangle. Searching Help, it indicates that i have a low resolution problem. However, the res seems fine. And it doens't matter which photo I drop into that slot. They each give me the error message. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) plus a MacBook rev 2., etc.

junobear:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are the pixel dimensions of the photos you're trying to use?
The first thing to try is to delete the iPhoto folder that's in your User/Library/Caches folder. Then restart iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

TS1140 I am having issues with an iPhoto book that I created. When I try to purchase it, it fails to load for payment, yet I don't see any error messages in the book itself? Help!

I can't seem to get my photos for an iphoto book to load. It will assemble the pictures, but at the last step, it never progresses with loading the photos - I always get an error message.

how doe the preview work?
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
what is the error message?

Iphoto 09, file error message when sending book

when I was selecting images for a 52 page book iphoto froze a few times but recovered itself. But I finished book and pressed Buy book. It assembled the book, and started transmitting it. I wasnt watching all the time but it seemed to have sent about half the book size when it stopped giving me a message saying there was a file error. none of the pics had that ! appear when I was choosing the images. Clicked Retry and it started all over again. Same thing happened.
Anyone got any idea how to tell if there is a particular image that is causing a fault. I had a couple of images on a previous book that i had to remove because they were corrupted and I wondered if this was same thing. Mind you different error message this time. So maybe not?

Have you previewed the book according to these instructions - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 ?
If that works try ordering again - if it fails too then Backup your iPhoto library and rebuild it form the last automatic database backup (launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys
