Errors ordering prints from Aperture, help?

I've been trying since last night to order prints via Aperture.  They total around 150 prints.  Last night, I would select my images and they would start to upload.  The entire time, Aperture is listed as "application not responding" but the continued to upload.  When finished, I got a message that the order was complete and then got a billing error message.  I tried again and re-entered my card info, same issue.  My billing works fine for the app store (it did before and after the order attempts), it's not a billing issue.
Today, I just entered a different card to see what happens.  Everything uploads and it tells me my order is complete.  However, I never recieved a receipt and there is no record of my order on the order status page.  When I tried to close A3, I get the message "You book is not complete...." so I select to continue uploading...even though the upload is complete. It's being going now like that for 3 hours.  This is crazy.  I just cancelled the order by closing out A3 now for the 8th time in 2 days...each upload takes about 20-30 minutes to complete.  Odd, my connections speeds are currently 22mbps download, 7 upload...a little slower than usual, so the hold up is on Apple's side.
Has anyone had this issue before? Is there a fix for this?  I'm going nuts.  Thanks for any help!

I called Apple Store support.  They were stumped too as I had tried everything they recommended, including chaning billing card that I use, etc.  Then they found a support document about print ordering issues and getting a white screen (which I don't get), this appears to have solved my issue. 
Here is what I did. I did have to do BOTH steps.  Please note that "1-Click Settings" is no longer available, so used "Express Checkout" for those steps instead and it was fine.  I was able to put through a test order successfully and then cancel it.  My large order is now uploading.
Delete the NetServices Keychain item:
Quit Aperture if it is open.
In the Finder, choose Go > Utilities.
Double-click the Keychain Access application in the Utilities folder.
Click Passwords in the Category list on the left side of the window.
Click the NetServices item in the main window and press the delete key to remove it.
Open Aperture and test.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue:
Quit Aperture.
Go to the Apple Online Store.
From the Account menu to the left of the Cart icon, choose "1-Click Settings."
Log in to your account with your Apple ID and password.
Enable 1-Click for your account.
If 1-Click is already enabled, choose Account Information from the Accounts dropdown.
Change the password for your account.
Open Aperture and test.

  • HT201281 how do I order prints from aperture?

    I can't figure out how to order prints from my aperture library.  Where is the link?

    Good question for the Aperature forum or the Aperture help menu. This is the iPhoto users forum

  • Problems with 'Order Prints' from Aperture 2.1.3 Mystery borders

    *Some background:*
    I've been using Aperture for about 3 months now, importing most of my iPhoto library into the program. I have only recently started shooting in RAW format, most of my photos image files are in JPG format. In the past, I've had no problems with obtaining prints from within iPhoto or to a limited extent Aperture. So, far as I know my program is up-to-date. I have 2 plugins installed: Aperture2twitter and *flickr export Lite* both of which work acceptably.
    *The problem:* I ordered 317 4×6 prints from my aperture library.
    Every photo has a 1/4″ border on both sides of the image, i.e. the printed image is only 4×5 1/2″. I have never ordered this quantity before, but I don’t believe that was the problem, it appears that the processing machine was misaligned and no one reviewed the prints prior to shipping.
    I tried again, on 4 different images ... all JPG files with 3 out of 4 were OK, but one exhibited the "border" issue.
    I haven't a clue what is going on here. Apple implied +(via email)+ that I would have to individually crop every photo to ensure proper aspect ratio. This makes no sense to me at all, as I have never had this kinda problem before.
    Could the plugin(s) be interfering with the s/w? Is there a trick to having photos printed from within Aperture that was not present in iPhoto?
    Any thoughts on what the problem is would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I believe that I've solved this problem, with the help of the folks at Apple who handle Aperture tech support using the Aperture support ID that came with the product.
    So the short answer is: Aperture print services REALLY DO REQUIRE the image to be cropped (constrained as they say) prior to the data being sent to Apple Print services.
    Here is the link that describes cropping http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1993?viewlocale=en_US
    The process as described is cumbersome, but the support tech pointed out that in Aperture, crops are 'non-destrutive' and can be undone simply by removing the check mark on the Adjustments tab of the image you crop. *This means that you do not have to make a duplicate image for cropping.*
    So, here is the process that I arrived at to ensure that my "order prints" job turned out:
    1. create an album of all the photos you want to submit for printing.
    2. for each image call up the Crop HUD by pressing 'c' on the keyboard.
    3.select the aspect ratio that you want for your photo. Make sure that it does NOT SAY Master Aspect Ratio, or Main Display Aspect Ratio.
    4. Crop the photo
    on the adjustments tab you can see the X and Y data and Height / Width information which can be undone.
    5. Submit your print request to Apple for all the cropped photos.
    When the prints arrive, you can compare the prints with the submitted photos. They should all be good. You can then delete the album (since it really is not a physical thing) or keep it for reference.
    It all seemed a bit arcane to me, as I never had to worry about this in iPhoto. It must be that iPhoto sends different data than Aperture. I have just received 200 + prints back from Apple Print Services with about 98% success rate. I just have to adjust my thinking and my process when dealing with Aperture.

  • HP B8850 Page Size Error Printing from Aperture 2 (or iPhoto)

    I am trying to print on 13x19 (B+) size paper to an HP Photosmart Pro B8850 printer. I get this error when printing from Aperture --> "Page Size Error: Paper size selected in the print driver does not match the paper loaded in the printer IN tray."
    Aperture 2.1.2
    Mac OS X 10.5.6
    HP Photosmart Pro B8800 Series Print Driver 2.3.1
    I can set the paper size to 13x19 (B+) in the Aperture print dialog, but under the Print Settings button there is no option for paper size, only paper type. So apparently the size that the printer is expecting in the driver does not match the 13x19 that is loaded in the printer. I was able to verify this by leaving all print settings for 13x19 and loading an 8.5 x 11 sheet in the printer. It pulled the paper through and started printing, but the print was scaled to fit onto the 8.5 x 11!
    So in other words, the way I'm seeing it, even though I am setting the paper size for 13x19 in Aperture's print dialog, the printer thinks it's suppose to print on 8.5 x 11.
    To make matters worse, there is no Page Setup menu item in Aperture to set the paper size in the print driver directly. I would have assumed that the Aperture print dialog was "smart enough" to pass the page size parameter to the HP printer driver, but that is apparently not happening.
    I spoke with HP tech support and they were surprisingly helpful. With their help I was able to print on 13x19 paper with HP's bundled software package, but I had to export my file from Aperture and import it into HP's software. Now that's a good first step which assured me there is nothing wrong with the printer itself, but obviously I purchased Aperture to use it's more elegant and supposedly streamlined interface to make my prints.
    Has anyone had a similar problem? Any solutions? Suggestions? I have searched this forum, HP's support forum, DP Review, Google and not finding much. I can't believe I'm the only guy trying to print on 13 x 19 from Aperture using this printer. I suspect it's not printer specific though. Could be my system I guess. I plan on calling Apple Care depending on what type of response I get here.

    I don't know if this may help, but recently we had a discussion about problems with Aperture's custom paper size not working correctly:
    The solution was to define a paper size outside Aperture:
    In any application, for example Preview, try to print something and the print dialog comes up. At this point click on Paper size and choose Manage Custom Sizes. You can define a new paper size here. This new custom size will then appear when you go to Aperture print dialog under paper size. It solved my problems with custom paper sizes here, for some reason (a bug?) defining a custom paper size within Aperture itself did not work correctly for me.

  • Printing from Aperture is not that good. Maybe help needed

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print from Aperture and I can't get a decent print to save my life. I end up sending over to Photoshop where the print comes out looking like it should. (FYI, I am very experienced with printing and calibration and color management, BTW). I can't figure out what is happening wrong. I've got all the settings correct and still can't manage a good print; they come out flat (lacking saturated colors) and much darker than the screen.
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.2 and an Epson 2200.
    What I don't understand is why PS is doing such a good job at printing and Aperture is not.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Antonio

    The closest I could get to a reasonable print is to wack up gamma to at least 1.2 But to be frank I got seriously peed off with the effort and cost of ink that its cost me trying to get something reasonable. So in short I have given up trying to print from aperture.
    FWIW I have used aperture with:
    Epson 360
    Canon ip3000
    Canon ip4000
    Canon IP4000r
    HP All in One
    HP 1280
    I have owned all these and for my love of apple blamed the first three printers for being rubbish printers. but after 6 printers, sorry there is only one place to blame now.
    Luckily printing from other programmes is not too difficult so I don't lose too much sleep over it.

  • Terrible red color cast when printing from aperture

    I have printed the same image from Iphoto as well as a windows machine and got very nice prints on my Epson R2880. However, every time i print from Aperture it comes out with a terrible red cast. I have tried the system managed colorsync profile as well as the generic one. (FWIW, B&W prints from Aperture on the R2880 come out very nice)
    Any other ideas?

    You may find it helpful.
    Thanks, but if you look in the archives of the Apple ColorSync Users List, you'll find thousands of posts from his Mac dating back to the beginning of the List.
    The principle is that you configure your device colour spaces to the largest gamut of which they are capable, calibrate them to a stable condition, characterise that condition in a measured test chart, and build ICC device profiles for those characterisations in your ICC profiling package of choice.
    You then capture and correct colour with correct colour previews, resulting in normalised exposures in an ideal CIE colour space. With you normalised exposures, you convert into output condition 1, output condition 2, output condition n which is what repurposing is about.
    But you do no apply a gamma change on top of the colour managed rendering. That is incorrect by definition. You apply your gamma change as part of the colour correction in order to get your normalised exposure.
    If you imagine this in a prepress process, then you can forget the concept of determinate rendering which is the bedrock of the ICC architecture. If you as photographer do a gamma correction on top of your presentation print or proof print, then you can claim that you have a presentation print, but you cannot contractually claim that you have a proof print as your proof print is a colour correction on top of the colour management system. If Apple Aperture allows the user access to colour correction on top of colour management, then that is a bug in the application. Sorry ...

  • Order prints from iPhoto 7.0.1

    I've tried several times over several days to order prints from iPhoto 7.0.1. I get to step 3 in setting up an account and I get an "unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later."
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Apple has been having problems with some of their servers recently and that might be the reason you're having trouble.
    Try reentering all of your account information and reset the 1-click ordering. That may help jump start the process.
    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 (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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Cannot print from Aperture v.2.1.2 to an Epson Artisan 800 printer

    I recently purchased an Epson Artisan 800 printer and I would like to be able to print from Aperture. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do so, in spite of multiple conversations with the Epson support group. I am able to print from other applications, such as TextEdit, Safari, and iPhoto. However, when I try to print from Aperture, I never get any output from the printer. Depending on the image that I try to print from Aperture, I will see an error message flash on the printer's display screen.
    I captured the following error message from the "system.log" file:

    I am having this problem on both my iMac G5 and my wife's MacBook. Both are running the latest versions of Mac OS X (10.5.6) and the latest version of Aperture.
    If anyone has been able to print from Aperture to an Epson Artisan 800 printer, please let me know how you did it. Thanks.

    I run 10.4.11 and am unfamiliar with that specific Epson. However step one with Epson troubleshooting is to do any OS updates then download and install the latest Epson driver, even if what you are using is current. The new install will simply install over the old installation. Repair Permissions via Disk Utility immediately before and again immediately after both the OS updates and the printer driver installation.
    Once good Epson paper and a new driver installation are done the final step is to carefully follow Gary Ballard's excellent color management tutorials:

  • Ordering Prints from Shutterfly - Blank White Dialog Box

    I am trying to order some prints through Photoshop Elements using Shutterfly.
    I select my prints I want to order, hit order prints from shutterfly.
    A white dialog box appears overtop of Photoshop elements where I can login to shutterfly.
    I successfully login, select my photos, select the recipient, and get to the part where it tells me the cost.  I hit next and the dialog box turns white with nothing in it
    I have flash player and java installed.  In my resource manager I can see it trying to talk to shutterfly, but it quickly drops to no traffic being sent/receive
    Even if I wait a good amount of time the white box never fills with a way for me to pay or anything like that.
    Can anyone help me with this issue?
    Thanks

    Do the following :
    Log in to shutterfly website
    Go to My Account and edit Billing Information.
    Launch PSE and proceed with print workflow.
           The shutterfly service will now pick up the billing information and there will be no 'blank screen'

  • Prints from Aperture vs Photoshop Different

    When I make a print from Aperture the color is off and the print is too light. When I take that same photo and Open With External Editor to Photoshop, the print comes out nearly perfect, and nearly exactly what I see on my 30" ACD.
    When printing I turn off System Management of color, so I don't think that's the issue.
    I shoot Raw with a Nikon D2x. I calibrated my Epson 4800 and 30" display with Eye-One. The profile of the photo is Adobe RGB 1998. When soft proofing in Aperture I use the printer profile I created with Eye-One and the image looks fine on my display.
    I've read various threads where people have solved this problem by making sure they use Adobe RGB 1998 across the board, which I think I am doing.
    One huge concern is that I'm ready to have a wedding book published via Apple and I don't know if the images are going to look like they do printed via Aperture, or Photoshop, or something altogether different.

    David,
    Thank you for enlightening me about the Nikon/color space.
    What is frustrating is that I've calibrated my Epson 4800 and 30" ACD. In Aperture the color and exposure looks fine when soft proofing, but my prints come out with a magenta tinge and are too light. When printing the very same file in Photoshop (via Round Trip from Aperture), the image looks the same on my monitor as it did in Aperture but the print comes out very close to what I see on the screen. There has to be something else going on. I turn off the System Management of color, what other settings do you set? However, I set the printing settings the same for Aperture as for Photoshop.
    Since you have much of the same set-up as I do, I'd like to turn to another question. I'm trying to order a wedding book via Apple. When I click the "Buy Now" button, all the following dialog boxes have a combination of French, English, Dutch? - and when I reach the final dialog box I see in English, "Please correct the following issues". The item on the list that I should correct is in Dutch or Swedish. Has this ever happened to you and how can I fix the language issue. I searched the threads and see people with the same problem, but no remedy.
    Another question if I may... When I click "Buy Now" the first dialog box says that there is a blank text box (which I suspect is the issue that the Dutch sentence is proclaiming). I've tried finding the blank text box by Select All, but only the photo fields are highlighted. Do you know how to find a blank text box?
    Thank you for your suggestions. I've asked about the foreign language and text box issues but haven't received an answer yet.

  • Ordering prints from Apple

    I want to try out ordering prints from Apple. The FAQ on Apple's site says that I should send JPEGs. If I only have RAW files in my Aperture project do I need to specifically produce JPEGs and have Aperture post those to Apple (via 'Order Prints') or is Aperture smart enough to create JPEGs from my RAW file and its adjustments?
    Is Apple's print service decent? I'm in the UK.

    I do not use RAW but the instructions seem pretty clear to me - http://www.apple.com/uk/support/photoservices/preparation_tips/
    And there is a form at the bottom of the page to ask questions
    As far as quality, I've been happy
    If your images are not 4x6 (or what ever print size you want to order) and few are remember that they will be cropped to the print size - if you want to be sure that the remaining photos is what you want then you should crop rather than leaving it to chance

  • When printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side  and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000

    when printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side  and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000.
    please can anbody help or advise?

    You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor.  This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow.  What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
    Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer.  The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
    Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
    Printing Your Images
    There is also a good appendix on calibration:
