Error when uploading book to Blurb from LR 4.1 and after 4.3 update

I have been trying for over 24 hours to upload a 75 page book successfully from LR 4.1, and also after updating to LR 4.3!  I was initially able to upload to pdf format in LR 4.1, then it stopped working.  Book upload to Blurb took a very long time to upload the 75 pages plus cover and got stuck in the process of uploading pages, finally returning an error message: "There was an error in uploading your book, would you like to try again?"
After several attempts to upload the book, updating to LR 4.3., then the process stopped working in upload to pdf.  I checked the box on background "Apply Background Globally" to get to the "Graphic" checkbox that was checked.  I unchecked it and then removed the "Apply Background Globally" checkbox.  After doing that, I was able to upload to pdf, but still received the error message when uploading to Blurb, even after several of retry attempts. 
As a workaround, I was going to try to upload the pdf file directly to Blurb but received a statement saying the pdf was not the right size.  Please help with this issue.  I purchased LR4 to be able to use the book feature and I am very disappointed in both Adobe and Blurb for the lack of support found in all of the FAQ's, How To's, etc.  I have seen so many posts similar to mine.  Surely there should be some fix for these common issues by now.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.

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!

  • 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,
    Kristin

    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).

    (Click on the "Need more help" button at the bottom of the screen)
    I'd be interested in hearing what you find out.

    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.

  • Experiencing "timed out" error when uploading podcast

    I am experiencing a "timed out" error when uploading a podcast to iTunes. Using PC. I've updated iTunes...

    - You really need to ask the Basis team to extend the maximum run time for background processes (30 mins is too short).
    - You can also try to reduce the run time by setting up BOM Buffering in configuration so if the same BOM is used again and again (in your case of delete and recreate planned order, yes), it will read from memory.
    - You should set the planning horizon and use NETPL (net change in planning horizon) in daily run.  So that the run will only find the relevant changes in order proposal up to certain days, thus reduce run time.
    - You should discuss with your BASIS team about the list of background job in the batch windows.  Specify time in such a way that the performance-critical job (i.e., MRP, reschedule sales order, certain customized report, etc.) doesn't run at the same time.
    - You can increase the number of parallel processes to issue several jobs to run MRP at the same time.

  • WLC 5508 - Error When Uploading Webauth Bundle

    Currently have a WLC 5508 running 7.4.110.0.  I'm trying to upload (download) a webauth bundle to the controller from the web interface and am getting an error.  I've tried using FTP, SFTP and TFTP and get a different error with each.  When I started out with this, I was using a modified login.tar.  Thinking this was the problem, I switched to using the login.tar file included with the Web Authentication Bundle version 1.0.2 downloaded from the Cisco site.  This file fails with the errors below.  Does anyone have suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?  Is this is a known bug in this version of the software?  Thanks!
    For FTP:
    The web interface shows:

    Hi,
    1. Did you used  PIcozip to compress your webauth bundle?
    2. Did you try only with one laptop , if yes then try to use other one.
    3. Just try to upload default webauth bundl from cisco to wlc and show the result to us.
    7.4.121.0 is very stable version.

  • Error when uploading master data

    Hello everybody...
                                  I m finding an error when uploading the master data (BW 3.5)from a flat file. error is...

    plz suggest me.....
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    There might be two reasons..
    1. In your flat file you have data in lower case .. if you want upper case data also just make change in IO to allow lower case data also..
    2. Close the flat file while loading data...

  • Error when calling a stored procedure from a SQL Script

    Apologies if this is a really dumb question but I can't seem to call a procedure in package from a SQL script. I have a simple package.procedure containing a loop to populate a table. I would like to include a call to this procedure from my database install script, that also includes my CREATE and INSERT statements. I run the script using "@install_databae" and the CREATE and INSERT statements run fine. The script gives an error when it reaches the line below:
    exec lazarus.PopulateGridPositions;
    and gives the error.....
    BEGIN lazarus.PopulateGridPositions; END;
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-04063: package body "LAZARUS.LAZARUS" has errors
    ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called: "LAZARUS.LAZARUS"
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    The procedure and package have both compiled without errors and the statement on its own works fine in SQL*Plus.
    I've obviously missed some fundamental concept with scripts and SQL. Please can anybody help me?

    And just checking:
    You have schema called LAZARUS, which holds a package named LAZARUS, which holds a procedure called POPULATEGRIDPOSITIONS?
