Error uploading photo book

I have a 50 page book I have ordered before using iphoto. It came out beautifully. I wanted to order another copy and now the book assembles fine, but I get an error during upload of the 50 meg book. The upload seems to work fine for about 7-10 meg, then stalls for about a minute, then zips up to 50 meg and there is an error message saying, there was an error uploading, please try again.
All this from the same computer I successfully ordered it from several weeks ago.
Any thoughts?
Also, does anyone know who I should contact at Apple about this??
Thanks,
Paul

here is the link to Apple's ordering problem page - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/account_troubleshooting/
Also note that you can do an exact reorder without uploading within 40 days - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/ordering_options/ - maybe that will help you out
Can Apple reprocess a previous order?
Apple stores the image files of book, card, and calendar orders for 40 days, and print orders for 20 days, from the date of purchase. We will be unable to reprocess an order on your behalf once the files have been removed from our servers. To ask Apple to reprint a previous order, please email us using the form below.
Note: Reprocessed orders will ship to the same address and be charged to the same credit card listed on the original order.

Upload to Blurb fails after exactly 30 minutes (There was an error uploading your book's pages...)

After exactly 30 minutes after the upload has started, I get this error:
There was an error uploading your book's pages. Would you like to try again? The choices given are "Retry Upload" and :"Cancel"
When I retry, the same thing happens - fails after exacly 30 minutes. I am using a window 7 pc (with Service Pack 1) and using Lightroom 5.4. I have turned off my firewall and antivirus programs, rebooted, and connected directly to my router (not wireless) and ensuring my pc does not go to sleep, but did nothing I try wil help.
Anyone else get this? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello,
I had this problem as well - the upload to Blurb would not work. Creation of a PDF and export as JPEG in the book module worked.
For me, the solution was to turn off the Windows Firewall while uploading. Now it works!

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
Any ideas ?
I've got Mountain Lion running.
I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

can you preview it? -
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.
If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again

Error in photo book ordering

since upgrade to lion I am no longer able to order photo books. I can start but when it comes to the upload step I get always the error message "the credit card can not be authorized at the moment". I ordered the same book under snow leopard without any problems. I changed the credit card and got the same message. I asked the credit card company but they didn't get any authorization request. Any ideas what this could be?

meanwhile I found out that the problem is caused by delivery address different than invoice. It works if invoice and delivery address are the same. As a workarround the delivery address can then be changed online in Appstore once the order is open.

Iphoto shuts down when uploading photo book

Since upgrading iPhoto to v11 I cannot buy photo books. Have created a photo book but when uploading iPhoto unexpectedly shuts down. It always occurs at page 48 of 50. I have tried hard cover, soft cover and wire but same result each time. frustrating given the time spent creating the book.

TD
Thanks for advice. I had to completely reconstruct the book but it is now uploaded.
This has presented a new problem for me. I have just found out that my credit card has been charged 8 times for the book, a charge for every failed attempt. hopefully these will be credited back quickly. Have others suffered the same and was it rectified quickly.

Surprise solution to error uploading a book

Just by chance I stumbled across the (my) solution to this mysterious problem concerning the upload of a book, which always stopped at 64 kb with an error message eventually:
First, I used Cocktail to repair permissions and do the routine system maintenance.
But, more importantly, I suddenly remembered this application by Allume Systems, "Internet Cleanup". This software contains a feature called "Net Blocking" and "Spy Alert", meant to help keeping out malicious net attacks. I turned these features off, and suddenly everything went smoothly.
Maybe this will only help those who have this software as well, but also I think after this I would encourage everybody with similar problems to investigate all possible net-blocking and firewall software.
Hope this is at least a bit useful...

Yes, you are absolutely right. I noticed there is a list of apps in the preferences that are allowed to send, for example iTunes is among them. You can configure this list, of course and add/remove what you like. But I didn't bother and will keep it deactivated. For that purpose I have been quite happy with "Little Snitch" (shareware) that does the job very efficiently and easy-to-use.

Error uploading iphoto book

I am using iphoto 6.0.4. I keep getting an error while trying to upload pictures. It assembles the book okay then always gets stuck at "transferring 119k of 15.1 MB" for a while then an error message pops up saying there was an error with one of the files, try again? If I hit 'try again', it reads 15.1MB of 15.1MB but doesn't ever do anything. I would really like to order a few books but can't seem to get past the ordering page. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi again Tracy,
Before going any further I would create a new user account on your computer and try to send a book from over there. This is help eliminate the possibility that there is something wrong with just your user account.
For instructions on creating a new account go here --> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html
If that fails then continue:
I wonder if you have ever been able to order books in the past. It sounds like the upload speed on your internet connection might be too slow for the iphoto print server.
I'm not familiar with "Direcway". Is this cable, dsl, fiberoptic, or satellite?
If its Satellite we can probably stop right here. Satellite internet is NOTORIOUS for having poor upload speeds and intermittent connection quality.
If it is satellite read my following comments and give them a shot just to cover your bases.
If you are running your computer through a router or hub like an Airport Extreme, Linksys, etc. I would recommend plugging your computer directly into the internet (modem or whatever you have in your setup). By bypassing this extra devices you eliminate possible interference from those device and devote as much speed to your computer as possible.
Often ISPs will save cost by giving us high download speeds so we can us web sites with relative ease. But the upload speed (or ability to send data out) is fairly slow.
You have to have a good solid connection (not a lot of packet loss) that is running at a minimum speed of 152 kbps or twice that of a standard telephone modem running 56k.
To test your connection you can go to http://www.dslreports.com/stest this will check your upload and download speed.
Essentially if your upload speed is very low or it looses a lot of data in transit (packet loss) there isn't much you can do on the computer end. Its an issue with your ISP.
If all else fails you may want to use a friends computer to publish your book if they have access to a different connection type. You can also look to see if there is an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Reseller (not to mention an Apple Store, which would be perfect) in your area. http://www.apple.com/buy/
You can copy your iphoto library onto a CD/DVD and take it in. You can then publish from their computer.
I hope that helps.
Please check back if you need further assistance.
Cheers!

IPhoto - uploading photo books for printing

iPhoto crashes when trying to upload a Photobook for printing...driving me mad!
any ideas follks.
The Photobook assembles, but wont upload.
Thanks in advance..

This was an excellent suggestion previewing the book at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 -
and then booting up the computer in safe mode. When I did this I found that several of the fonts had changed and would have ruined the book as they were too big or small or didn't fit the text boxes. I repeated this process until I was satisfied. The pdfs were fine.
Best of all the book was printed exactly as I laid it out.
Apple's turnaround was amazing: just over a week! Really good for getting a book to a small West Coast island in Canada.
Even though Apple's book production is very good it is limited in layouts for each style. BLURB offers a bigger range of layout options as well as a choice of printing papers which is a nice touch. I didn't use them this time because some posters had had delays in getting their books and I had to meet an birthday deadline.
Kudos to Apple for making the book in such a short time.

Hi.i currently use photoshop lightroom 4 and have uploaded books to blurb with no problems but today every time i try to log in to blurb through lightroom to upload the book a msge appears saying "Could not cotact Blurb web service.please check internet c

Hi I currently use lightroom 4 and have never had an issue uploading photo books to blurb.but now when i try a message appears saying "could not contact blurb web service.please check internet connection" my internet connection is fine.please can somebody help me as i need to get the album done as it is a wedding album and the clients are waiting on it.many thanks,Sean.

Hi,
I got this problem sorted and it actually very easy. For some reason the settings on the windows page i use on my laptop conflicted with the blurb/lightroom upload. All you need to do is set up a new windows user page and set it up as admin. You will need to transfer all the photos from the lightroom on your current user page to the new one which can be annoying but at least you will hopefully get up and running again. I hope this helps,
Sean.

Programmabruch beim Rendern (upload zu blurb Fotobuch); error while renderimg (upload to blurb photo book)

ich versuche nun schon mehr als 10 mal ein Fotobuch hochzuladen (240 Seiten).
Beim ersten Schritt, dem rendern, wird jedoch an unterschieldlichen Stellen, der Programmablauf mit einer Fehlermeldung:
"Beim Erstellen des Buchs ist ein Fehler aufgetreten.
Das Buch konnte nicht erstellt werden, da das Foto "xx.dng" nicht gerendert werden konnte."
Das Buch enthält ca. 800 dng-Bilder. Alle updates WIndows und Lightroom 5.7 wurden durchgeführt. Ebenso habe ich alle Bilder vorab als 1:1 Vorschauen erstellt.
Die Festplatte ist auch defragmentiert. Alle weiteren Prtogramme sind geschlossen.
Anmerkung: das update auf 5.7 könnte eine Verbesserung gebracht haben, da nun der Fehler erst bei Seite 46 aufgetreten ist (war vorher meist früher).
Diese Problematik hatte ich auch schon bei früheren Version, jedoch habe ich das Buch dann nach mehreren Versuchen doch fertiggebracht!
Ich denke, dass in dem "Buch-Modul" grundsätzlich ein Bug ist, der sporadisch auftritt. Das rendern in allen anderen Programmteilen erfolgt ohne Probleme!
Wer hat einen Tipp? Leider ist bei Adobe kein Support (Tel.) direkt zu erhalten!?
English question:
Mistake (rendern) while upload too blurb (photo book)
now I try to upload already more than 10 times a photo book (240 sides).
Nevertheless, with the first step, rendern, becomes an error message at different pages, the program expiry with:
"With the construction of the book a mistake has appeared.
The book could not be provided, because the photo 'xx.dng' could not rendered.'
The book contains approx. 800 dng pictures. All updates of Windows and Lightroom 5.7 was done. Also I have provided all pictures to begin with as 1:1 previews.
The hard disk is also defragmentated. All other pogrammes are closed.
Remark: the updates to 5.7 could have brought an improvement, because now the mistake has appeared after page 46 (was mostly early before).
I had these problems also already with earlier version, nevertheless, I have finished the book after several attempts!
I think that in the 'book module' basically a bug is which appears as sporadic. Rendern in all other program parts works without problems!
Who has a tip? Unfortunately, no support (phone) can be received @ Adobe directly!?

TS1135 Cannot process the Photo Book; it fails always at the very last stage with "error occurred while uploading on of your files. Pls check your network connection and click Retry..." Tried at 12 times and no joy! Can anyone help?

Can anyone help with the Photo Book process? I have tried at least a dozen times and the Photo Book always fails at the very last stage of the process. I ordered Buy Book, it assembles the book and files are transferred until the very last moment... it says " An error occurred while uoloading one of your files. Please check your network connection and click Retry to resend your files." It fails every time, any advice? My server is TalkTalk which may explain everything !! ?? Help.

Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and order from there.
Also make a PDF file of your book according to this Apple Document, iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it, before you order to check for errors. Keep that file to compare with the printed copy when it arrives.

Photo book uploading problem

I have created a photo book in Elements 7 and cannot get it to upload to Kodak. My OS is Windows 7 and I am using Noton 360 security software. I make it through the ordering of the photo book and the uploading seems to go to completion, approximately 20 minutes for the 568MB file, but then after a pause I get a pop up message saying "There was a problem with your internet connection. Please check that there is not a firewall blocking Photoshop Elements from accessing the internet and that you have an internet connection." My ISP is Verizon FiOS, I've checked the connection speed and have experienced no other internet access problems. I have my firewall set to allow PE7 to access the internet without restriction, and have also tried uploading with the firewall disabled with the same result. I contacted Adobe support and even agreed to the $30 charge, but they said this wasn't a Photoshop problem. Kodak says if they don't receive the upload it isn't their problem. I would really like to get this photo book printed (daughter's college graduation).

Thanks for the update, Bob. While I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue with Kodak, I still feel there is something on my end that is not right. I just tried to order additional copies of a photobook we did a couple of years ago (43 pages, 147mb). The upload process took just 10 minutes but failed with the same error message. This was a photobook we had successfully ordered from Kodak before, using PE6 running on an older computer with a slower internet connection.
You mentioned internet bandwidth as a determining factor, using a faster connection as a possible solution. I have a Verizon FIOS 20/5 connection, periodically test my download/upload speeds, and that's pretty much what I get. I had reasoned that since PE7 takes like 20 minutes to upload a 300MB file there must be something else going on. Btw, there was one particular upload speed test I just tried that failed,"probably due to a hardware or software firewall blocking the FTP protocol the test uses". I was also not able to run this test successfully with the Norton firewall temporarily disabled. Does the PE7 photobook upload utility use an FTP protocol?

Re error 8 message/corrupt photo when trying to buy a photo book

I am trying to upload a photo book, which I have done many times before, and this message comes up: "com.apple.chameleon.component
General.error 8." The book stops uploading at page 4 and sites a corrupt photo. How do I find out which photo is causing the problem? The same thing happens when I try to preview the book. Help!

Remove the photos on page 3 and preview - if it works re place the photos on p 3 oneone and preview until you find the problem photo - if the problem is not on p 3 then do the same on p4 and p5 is necessary
