Getting an iPhoto book printed immediately

Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
I am using iPhoto 08 to create a portfolio book but i'm in a miassive rush and can't wait for Apple to print and ship it to me.What are my options? Can I get it printed at a professional printing place... will I need to take my computer there? I know the PDF option is there but that will diminish the quality yes?
So, how can I get the book printed without going through Apple?
Thank you thank you thank you in anticipation.
Brendon.

Welcome to the Apple user discussions
you can make a PDF and print it yourself or take it to a local printer - I doubt that you will get the binding quality and doing the dust cover would be difficult - it is really not a do it yourself project - but you can make the PDF and do anything you want with it

I am a Canadian staying in England for a few weeks. How can I get an iPhoto Book printed win England and sent as a gift to an English relative? With my account, it seems that Apple only allows for my book to be printed in Canada.

in the iPhoto preferences change the print products country to the UK and give it a try - there may be some restirctions on billing but it has worked for some people

IPhoto Book Print - Rejected

Sirs
Could you please help me with an issue that I currently have with iPhoto.
As a Christmas Present for my 6 year old daughter, I have created an iPhoto book of our recent trip to EuroDisney. I completed the book and purchased it via the Apple Store in iPhoto.
However, I have today received an email stating as follows:
To Our Valued Apple Customer:
It appears that when your order was submitted to Apple, an error caused the
image file to be unreadable or unprintable. As a result, Apple is unable to
process your order and you will not be charged. We recommend the following
before submitting your order:
1. Update your software.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Make sure all applications are closed.
4. Open iPhoto or Aperture.
5. While all other applications are closed, preview your print product as a
PDF.
6. Resubmit your order.
While previewing and resubmitting your order, make sure all other applications
are closed. For instructions on how to update your software, refer to:

<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338>
I have checked the version of my MacBook - it is OS X 10.7 and I have checked the version of my iPhoto - it is 9.1.5. When selecting purchase in iPhoto, it is stating that I need to upgrade to 9.2.3. However, when I attempt to check for new updates in iPhoto itself, it is stating that my version is the latest version. Furthermore, checking for software updates via the Apple logo does not bring up any update for iPhoto nor does any updates in my Application Store.
It seems as if I require an update but there are no ways in which I can update this.
Could someone please advise / assist as I desperately want to get this book printed.
Many Thanks
Paul

If you update your system to 10.7.5 with the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) and OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update updaters you can update your iPhoto version all the way to 9.4.2 thru the updaters availailable here: Apple - Support - Downloads-iPhoto 9.
But that's no guarantee that will fix the problem. If the problem image appears OK in a PDF preview of the book it should, as Larry pointed out, print out OK. If it doesn't look OK in the PDF preview file export it out of iPhoto, open in Preview and export as a new, JPEG file. Import it back into iPhoto, add to the book and replace the problem file with the newly created one. Then create a new PDF file of the book and check that photo.

Iphoto book printing outside US

I want to order an iPhoto book in The Netherlands. When I press Buy Book I only get the option to buy in the US. I created a new Apple ID with an address in The Netherlands. Still I can only enter a shipping address in the US when I press Buy Book.

Go to iPhoto's Advanced preference pane and select Netherlands under the Print Products Store menu.

How long does it take to get a iphoto book?

I was wondering if its worth ordering iphoto books now and if they will be here before xmas? I never used the service before, but I'd like to try it out. Anyone know how long it takes from the minute you click order to the time it ships?
thanks

thanks for the helpful reply, nsteklov
My wife just ordered a photo book from Walgreens.com. It was the first photo book order for our family. I was aware of iPhoto books and have seen samples in an Apple Store and remember they looked nice, so suggested an iPhoto book. We really like ordering our 4x6 photos through Walgreens and picking up locally, and we think they have the best quality prints, so that is why my wife thought just order the photo book from them. I expected good quality also since their prints are so nice.
Bah! We were not pleased at all with the Walgreens photo book. Very cheap construction; ultrathin = low quality; photos are dull and even grainy looking (highest quality 6MP outdoor photos, so it ain't the photos). Walgreens service was amazingly fast ... we ordered about midnight last Thursday and they shipped 2-day on Friday morning, got the book Tuesday evening. (fast printing even during Christmas season.) However, the quality was so poor that we could not give it as a gift (a summer vacation we took with the wife's folks). Soooo, that's why we did the iPhoto book last night (stayed up until 3AM) and basically put the same book together. iPhoto is MUCH, MUCH easier to use than those web based services.
We are not meeting them until the evening of Dec. 25, and then will open gifts the 26th when the rest of the family is together. The book is being shipped to their house Express. I am hoping maybe by now orders have died down and they can get this book out pronto. I even have a glimmer of hope for delivery on the 26th or at least the week of the 26th. If not, no biggie, it'll come when it comes. I like the idea of putting the iPhoto book on iDVD and showing it on a DVD. That will suffice until the actual book comes.
My wife will be contacting Walgreens today to see about a refund for the shoddy book they sent us. I wouldn't get the Walgreens book at any price it was so bad (shipped price was about $6 less than the iPhoto book.)

IPhoto book printed incorrectly

I recently ordered an iphoto book. It came with the bottom of every page slightly cut off which resulted in several photo labels being cut roughly in half. These labels are completely visible on the iPhoto version of the book and there is no warning sign about the lables. Is there a way to talk to Apple about possibly having the books reprinted?

Did you preview the book as described in the Apple document, iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it, before you ordered it? Was the error shown in the pdf preview?

Aussie created Iphoto book printed in the US?

I live in Australia and have created my iphoto book on my computer here but would like to have my photo book printed in the US and shipped to my parents for Christmas.
Is there anyway I can do this?
Thanks.

Greetings,
The last time I saw a question on this topic it was a bit over 2 years ago so the answer may have changed but yes, Canadian book orders are printed in Canada. As far as taxes, what you see in the order window is the total for the book in your region.
To find out for sure before you order, contact Apple Store Customer service for Canada and indicate you want to ensure that the total dollar amount indicated in the order window is indeed what you will be charged (I would assume it is otherwise there would be lots of people yelling about it).
Cheers.

How do I get my iPhoto books into my Aperture Library?

I have iPhoto '11 and i have some books that are not compleated yet and I wanted to finish them in my Aperture Library. They didn't import so I just said ok and went back to iPhotot to complete it and then I relized the iPhoto orgianals are in my Aperture Library. What do I do?

There is nothing you can do. iPhoto books and sideshows aren't imported into Aperture. The internal differences between iPhoto and Aperture prevent this from being able to happen.
What happens during the import of sideshows or books is what you have seen. The images in the iPhoto item are placed in an Aperture album that is named after the iPhoto item.

IPhoto Book Prints Rotated

I hope someone can help me with this because it is driving me bonkers!
I have been working on a book in iPhoto for about 6 months now. I am using iPhoto 6, the theme is a 6"X8" and it is Folio.
I have entered text and photos and everything looks great. But when I try to print to PDF of even make a slideshow the text is rotated 90 degrees. The photos display correctly it is just the text that turns. it is weird because it goes off the screen too.
I duplicated the book and changed themes (but not the size) and it still does the same thing.
When i change the book to an 8.5X11 in the same theme it work great.I need the book to be a 6X8.
I have printed this book and have made a slideshow before and it looked normal.
The only thing that I have done that I can think could effect this is I have added printers and Adobe CS2.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

So I did some more playing with it last night and I found a thread that fixed my problem even though it did not say it would fix MY problem I tried it and it worked like a charm.
I cannon find the thread that I used but here is basically what I did:
Closed iPhoto and all other applications.
Opened the finder and located the file "com.apple.iPhoto.plist"
This resided in Preferences/Library....
I then pulled it onto my desktop.
I logged out of my computer.
Logged back in.
Then reopened iPhoto.
It acted like it was my first time opening iPhoto and reset all my preferences to the default. But all of my photos and albums were still in the Library.
I opened the book and played a slide show and it worked great.
I hope this helps someone, I know I am not the only one this has happened to.
