Having trouble ordering prints

This is so frustrating. I have a brand new Intel iMac as well as a iMac G5. Am trying to order prints (about 90) from a recent vacation. Starts up - slogs along - gets to about 4 picture transfers in about a half hour and then get a message to the effect of "error - check with your ISP". The internet connection is still okay. Is this a memory problem? I have 512 on both machines which are networked. Have tried on both machines having had a problem with my server on the newer computer which I thought was rectified (but strange things are still happening).
Thanks

I am marking this answered and posting what I hope was a solution as a new post. In reading other posts, I found several references to rebuilding. I did this and then tried ordering again. I did same in 3 smaller batches of about 25 photos each - and it worked.

  • News for Users having trouble ordering books

    I was having trouble like many others ordering books during the last 2 weeks. I was also concerned about pending charges on my bank account. I received a very detailed explanation and helpful suggestions today form Apple Support. I am posting this in hopes that it helps others and ends all the frustration.
    My name is Patrick and I'll be assisting you.
    I understand that you're having an issue placing a book order. I also understand that there were charges on your credit card statement that were eventually dropped.
    I reviewed the orders you submitted for the book titled "Honeymoon" and found that the file could not be opened. That is why your orders haven't processed completely. The size of the book shouldn't be an issue, so you don't need to change anything in it. Please keep submitting the order until you're successful. You may want to try during non peak hours so there'll be less traffic on your ISP's network.
    As for the multiple charges, when you make a purchase using iPhoto, Apple sends an authorization request to your credit card company for the approximate amount of the purchase. This is to verify that your account has sufficient credit to cover the amount of sale. It is a temporary authorization hold, not an actual charge. Most credit card companies remove authorization holds within 48 hours.
    Please note that even an unsuccessful attempt to purchase an item may cause an authorization hold, depending upon how much of the transaction was completed, and multiple attempts can cause multiple authorization holds.
    If you have any questions about whether an amount found on your online statement is an authorization request or a charge, or when the authorization hold will be removed from your account, please contact your credit card company or financial institution.
    To view your purchase history, visit http://www.apple.com/internetservices/yourorderstatus and sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    I hope this clears things up for you. Please accept my apologies for any frustration this has caused you. I want your experience with us to be the best possible. Have a pleasant day.

    It's really hard to say without seeing the form, and ideally being at the machine that it doesn't work with. I'd be happy to take a look at the form if you're free to send it to me: acroscript at gmail dot com

  • Having trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat Pro

    I m using acrobat pro. I recently started having some trouble in printing the scanned pages in Acrobat. When i am printing a regular (non-scanned) page, it works just fine. If i m printing a scanned page, the print is completely distorted. I don't even know how to describe this condition, so I don't really know how to google it.
    If i remember correctly, I made some changes to the printing options. I can't exactly recall what was it, but it was something trivial (like printing all text to black or something)
    So i have attached the print of a scanned document. It's just the print quality that's different.
    Thanks for help.

  • Trouble ordering prints in iPhoto

    After several attempts to order prints, the upload to Apple process gets stuck partway through.  Time doesn't help.  I've left it overnight, only to find it still stuck in the morning. 

    Thanks for your efforts.  I tried the safe-mode boot.  That didn't help with the iPhoto issue, although I'm hopeful that it will clear up some other hinky things going on of late.  No matter what, it's great information to have!
        ~ I described it incorrectly in my original message.  I should have said it gets stuck in the "assembly" process.  It never actually makes it to the "upload" stage.

  • Trouble ordering prints

    I have a really frustrating problem which Apple support has yet to be able to resolve. I am trying to order prints for the first time. About 300 images. After it finishes processing the prints to .pdf, a pop up box appears that says my account has changed and I need to review it. Apple telephone support walked me through reviewing the account, all looks fine. Not sure what else to do.
    Thanks.

    When you click "buy prints" look for "account info" button in the bottom left corner, click it and type in the last three digits from the back of the credit card that is on the account.

  • I am having trouble on printing a pdf file. how can i fix it.

    How can I print PDF files with Microsoft Vista?

    Go here and download a version of Adobe Reader. Once it is installed, when you open a pdf file with it, you should be able to print to an installed printer.

  • Anybody having trouble ordering thru apple?

    I ordered the new IPhone yesterday thru the apple store app. They gave me a reservation number then an e-mail telling me to complete my order. So I called and completed my order they said that I should receive two emails which I did. They said one of them would have terms and conditions that I would have to agree to. A few hours later I got the e-mail but when I went to except and put my order number it said it could not be found. I called them and they said they would re send the e-mail. I'm still waiting I just don want to lose the phone they have reserved for me ;-(

    Call "them" again. There is no "them" here, just other users like you.

  • HT4356 I'm having trouble just printing black & white from my Iphone

    I set up my printer to only print in black but for some reason when I print anything from my IPhone 4S it still tries to print in color...even though I don't want it to.  Any suggestions???

    interesting, check your settings first and make sure cables are connected properly (I know it sound obvious!) then try an app like hp eprint or print n share

  • Having trouble air printing second document.

    Prints first document with no problem. when I try to print a second one, the iPad says it can't find the printer. This isn't isolated to one app. After rebooting the iPad it prints ok. can anyone help?

    If the hp8500a is one of the airPrint compatible printers, one problem other users have run into is that the wifi router they use has to support Bonjour communications.  The iPad requires this and many routers don't provide support.
    What brand of router do you have?

  • Been having trouble with printer drivers, so I uninstalled Photoshop CC and now I can't reinstall. Getting an error code 50

    I can't get cc to install. error code 50

    Can you open the CC Desktop Application Manager.  Click on the cog icon top right corner. Then on Account and see what version you are running?
    If less than 1.6.0.393 then you need to update the Desktop Application Manager.   I think that _might_ fix your error 50.

  • Iphoto hangs up on last print during order print upload

    I am having trouble ordering prints through iPhoto v.7.1.1 Every time I choose order prints, the scroll bar hangs up at the very last MB or last image or upload and just sits. My only choice is to cancel and try again. I've cut down my order size considerably and the still the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

    I think your problem is a damaged colour profile.

    I would launch ColorSync and see if you can repair the AdobeRGB 1998 profile.

  • Unable to order prints on iPhoto

    I had been using my old Mac for years to order prints from iPhoto with no problems. Late last year, I upgraded my Mac to a 24" iMac with the newest version of iPhoto. Since I've had this machine, I've had trouble ordering prints. It usually gets partway through the process and then just hangs up. I've called tech support a few times, and they even referred this problem to Apple engineering since apparently a number of people have had this problem. Even after I followed the instructions to try to correct the problem from Apple's engineering group, it still doesn't work. This is one of the main things we use the computer for and we're very disappointed.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Are there any other photo services that are cost effective and link directly to iPhoto?

    I have a similar issue lately. When trying to order 130 4x6 prints the upload process dies after 10-12 photos and there is nothing you can do about it. The retry function does not restart the upload, it just hangs.
    When using Activity Monitor to monitor the upload speed (I am on COMCAST cable) I see 45-50kB/s for the first 10 pics and then it dies - goes to 0 - unless you do something else on the computer that touches the network.
    No other app is having network or internet connectivity problems.
    Part of the problem might be the fact that the ever increasing file sizes are making the uploads slower and slower. Those 130 pics of mine are 230MB+ and thats just from a small 6MP point and shoot Canon camera.
    Iphoto realy needs a much more robust upload and reststart logic. Like iTunes that can download songs and video in pieces and restarts as often as you want wherever it left of, iPhoto needs a similar function to deal with larger uploads.
    Now the first attempt to fix the issue is to go break the order into 10 individual orders - only problem: Instead of paid 9.99 for express shipping you pay a total of 99.90 for shipping as every order has an individual shipping charge.
    Any ideas for a work around?

  • I would like to print a four sided programme, but am having trouble finding out how to organise the sections onto a 17  by 11 paper with the sections in the right order. Any help?

    I would like to print a four sided programme, but am having trouble finding out how to organise the sections onto a 17  by 11 paper with the sections in the right order. Any help?

    If all you are going to do is print double sided and them make
    a single fold reducing the page to 8 1/2 x 11, one side of the
    original 17 x 11 page will be page 4 on the left as you hold
    the page facing you and page 1 on the right, reverse side
    should be printed so top is same as top on the the first side
    and will be page 2 to the left and page 3 to the right. Pick
    up the double sided document with pages 2 and 3 facing you, fold
    left edge to meet right edge; you should now have fold on the left
    with page 1 facing up toward you, turn the page as you normally
    would and pages 2 & 3 should be in order, and one more turn brings
    you to page 4 and the fold should know be on the right. I hope this
    explains clearly enough - if not, post back and some one should
    join in with a better explanation.

  • I am having trouble uploading an Aperture photographic book to Apple. The first time I tried "Buy Book" the order proceeded normally but when it came to uploading the book to Apple it "uploaded" for six hours without going through so I aborted the attempt

    I am having trouble uploading anAperture photographic book to Apple. The first time I tried “Buy Book” theorder proceeded normally but when it came to uploading the book to Apple it"uploaded" for six hours without going through so I aborted theattempt and cancelled the order.
    The second time I tried the samething happened so after nine hours I found that the "Quit Aperture"button had greyed out so I had to Force Quit. I do not know if the order wascancelled but I do not think that the upload was successful.
    What can I do about this problem?

    I also am not able to print a book.  I have Aperture on two Mac, MacBook Pro (current) and a MacPro - both printed books prior to update 3.1.3 now all I get is the spinning ball then I have to Force Quit.  I tried books I have ordered in the past (trying to print a new book) and they also failed.  This is not a picture problem but a problem with 3.1.3 update.   I would like to print some more books and give Apple some money but can't.
    Any suggestions?

  • I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600.  It is a new printer and it has been replaced because we thought it was the printer.  Basically, when I print from Excel, only color will print.

    I am having trouble printing to an Epson XP600.  We have replaced the printer and we are still having the same problem.  When I try to print from Excel, only the color prints.  Any suggestions?

    Has anyone else had issues not being able to print black (such as a document)?  My photos print great, but when I try to print a simple black-ink document, it won't work. Any suggestions?
