Help! iPhoto card and book themes dissapeared

There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable.
I get this message when I try to create a card or book in iLife '11
I am fully updated

umm...Ok, you are aware I got this from the mac app store, and I don't have the Mac OS X install disk
Of course I always read the poster's mind so I know everything they do not bother to mention - then reinstall from the package downloaded from the App Store

  • IPhoto 6.0.6 text not printed on cards and book

    I bought via iPhoto cards and entered texts. The text was not printed when I received it. A few days later ordered a hardcopy book : same problem.
    All texts are missing except the text on the cover of the book. What can it be ?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    Report the problem to Apple - they will refund your cost and may have a solution
    US page - you probably should search for the returns page for Belgium - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/returns/
    Did you preview the book and the card before sending - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 ?
    Doe the preview show the text?
    Is there anything unusual about the text that did not print?

  • Solution to Card and Book Issue

    If you are having issues viewing or creating Cards and/or Books, the following solution may help:
    If you boot in safe mode and are able to view cards/books and create them, your problem is likely because of duplicate fonts in your font library.
    Reboot in normal mode, and open your font library. Locate the duplicate errors, and resolve duplicates.
    Open iPhoto and you should now be able to view and create cards and books.
    Let me know if this works for you.

    Thanks!
    In my case, I needed to do the following instead of that simply resolving the duplicates.
    1. Open Font Book app.
    2. Select all fonts.
    3. Do "Validate Font" from File menu.
    4. Locate all minor problems and serious errors.
    5. Disabled fonts that are unnecessary and having problems.
    6. Manually resolved duplicates (some duplicates are not automatically resolved).

  • HT204364 How do I make different greeting cards and send them to the same address in a bulk - not having to pay $3.99 shipping for each card

    In Iphoto, I would like to produce a bunch of greeting cards with different pics for different people and I would like all these cards to be sent to my home address in one shipment.
    The way I understand it, I can only prodce one card and order multiple copies of the same card.
    I am looking for a way not to spend $0.99 + $3.99 (shipping)....
    Can this be done?
    Or is there an app that allows that?
    Or how can I save each card and have them printed somewhere else?
    Thanks!

    Not really because the format is an odd size and when you save it as a pdf file there's a white border around the card. 
    There are 2 tutorials on how to print them yourself if you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers or Pages from iWork: iP06 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card and iP07 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes.  Apple has made it difficult to print them borderless unless the card color is the same as the card stock.

  • I want to open photos in my iphoto album and use them in Photoshop.

    I tried to open photos in my iphoto album and edit them in Photoshop but cant. Nothing is showing.

    Albums are strictly logical things and only exist in the iPhoto database
    To edit photos in PS you need to set PS as the external editor for iPhoto in the iPhoto preferences - edit the photos and Save it (Not save as) so it will be returned to the iPhoto library and the iPhoto database files updates correctly

  • Any value in exporting iPhoto pictures and importing them into Aperture?

    I am moving from iPhoto into Aperture (moving my library again actually) and I know that iPhoto and Aperture can share the iPhoto library once it has been updated but I am wondering if there is any value (or even if it is possible) to export all of the iPhoto pictures and import them into a new Aperture library?  The reason that I'm asking this is that I know there are a lot of duplicates in my iPhoto library and I know that Aperture keeps only the original.  A couple of weeks ago I moved my iPhoto library onto an external LaCie SSD disk to use with my MacBook Pro but unfortunately corrupted that library and have to make the move again.  If there is any value in changing how I'm managing my library I should do it now.
    The library corruption was caused by me needing to leave for work and disconnecting the LaCie before Aperture was done sync'ing with my Flickr account.  When I tried to use Aperture the next day it was not able to repair/rebuild or use the iPhoto library at all.  I was unfortunately not backing up the external disk so I lost everything that I had done to clean up the library after the move.  One lesson that I learned was do not automatically sync with Flickr because doing this on an MBP via wireless with an external disk library can add a lot of delay to shutting down Aperture after an MBP wakeup.

    Just in case you have not come across these:
    Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
    but I am wondering if there is any value (or even if it is possible) to export all of the iPhoto pictures and import them into a new Aperture library?
    You can - an it will depend on what you want to achieve, if that will usefull. The way to do this would be by imprting your iPhoto library into an Aperture library using Aperture. But Aperture libraries and iPhoto libraries are now interchangable - both are photo libraries, and you could simply use your iPhoto library in Aperture and be done now.
    Some reasons why you would want to turn your iPhoto library into a library recognized as Aperture library by importing it into a new, empty Aperture Library:
    As long as the photo library will have the "Kind: iPhoto library", you will have to upgrade both iPhoto and Aperture always to the newest versions, or you will not be able to upgrade to a new library format, when a new release of Aperture comes - say (iPhoto '12 and Aperture 4); you will probably have to buy both new releases to continue working with your iPhoto Library in Aperture.
    If the kind of your library is "Kind: iPhoto library", it will appear in the Media Browser in the iPhoto section, not in the Aperture section, even if you are using it as your Aperture library. And before syncing with iTunes you will always have to open the Aperture library in iPhoto to point iTunes to it.
    Also, in Aperture you have more control about what will be included in your library - In iPhoto there is no way to specify the size and quality of previews. If you do not want or need previews, or you want smaller previews, or no Faces, it would make sense to recreate your iPhoto library by importing it into a new, empty Aperture Library.
    If you have more than one iPhoto Library, you can merge them into one big Aperture library to be able to browse all your images without having to switch between libraries. Aperture works very well with really big libraries. There is no need to split libraries.
    The reason that I'm asking this is that I know there are a lot of duplicates in my iPhoto library and I know that Aperture keeps only the original.
    That is what I meant by having more control on what will be stored. iPhoto will always store a very high quality preview of your edited version; in Aperture you can decide what the preview size and quality will be. But Previews and originals are not duplicates; they are not the same image.

  • Buying ITunes gift cards and shipping them to the Gulf

    I am interested in purchasing "x" ITunes gift cards and shipping them to one of the countries in the Gulf like Qatar, Dubai, or Abu Dhabi. My question to you is, is that possible without running into any legal issues or so forth? If so, please let me know if I can just go ahead and purchase the quanity I desire off the store and ship them to a company in the gulf or if there is something else I need to do such as contacting someone. Thanks.
    From,
    A friendly community member

    You mentioned, "to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when purchasing from it." Are you referring to making purchases from the ITunes store? Or are you saying that in order for me to make purchases from the Apple store, I have to be in the United States to do so?
    I would appreciate it if you could explain a little bit more about the last part of your response, "are there other music purchases download sites that you have access to, or you can copy your own CDs via your computer's iTunes." I am interested in this too. Thanks.

  • IPhoto Book, Card and Calendar themes gone

    After upgrading to iPhoto 09, all of my themes for book, card and calendar somehow disappeared. Anyone knows how to fix this?

  • Can't use Calendars, Cards and Books- lost themes?

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I think this is more a problem with how I installed it rather than anything related to the actual products.
    Whenever I click on calendars already created, or on new calendar it keeps telling me that there are no themes installed and that this function won't work until they are- I think this might be because rather than installing the whole iLife 08 suite- (I didn't want the new iMovie) I simply dragged the previous installation I'd done on another mac (I bought a family pack) on to my iBook.
    So does anyone know where I'd find the themes or where to install them?

    Sri, Theo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    simply dragged the previous installation I'd done on another mac (I bought a family pack) on to my iBook.
    Installing iPhoto that way didn't install all of the necessary support documents, including the themes. Delete the iPhoto application and install iPhoto, custom install to install only iPhoto, from the iLife 08 disk. Then run the iPhoto 7.1.1 and iLife Support 8.1.1 updaters. That will get you the themes back.
    Happy Holidays
    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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • HT201281 I just ordered some letterpress cards through My iPhoto application and received them.. Now I want to order more and cannot find where to go to reorder them.

    Where do you go for a reorder of the letterpress cards?  Need more and can't seem to find the card I created anywhere.

    You order more by using iPhoto just like you did for the first order.  Go to the card and click on the Buy Card button and order the quantity that you need.

  • IPhoto calendar and book font issue

    On or near Nov. 30th, 2009, I launched iPhoto 8.1 to produce a calendar. The upgrade option came up and I proceeded to do the installation.
    I attempted to upgrade to iPhoto 8.1.1 on a new 2.66 GHz Quad Mac Pro running OS 10.6.2. Install did not work the first time.
    I then launched iPhoto to produce a new calendar. Prior attempts have not had any font issue.
    When selecting my favourite font, Kon Tiki, a different font appears. When selecting that new font, yet another font appears. This continues indefinitely.
    This issue also occurs when creating new books. Existing books and calendars in my Keepsakes retain their original font but I do not want to test if they change until this is resolved.
    I tried reinstalling original application from Time Machine but error continues. I then tried a second successful time to install the upgrade to iPhoto 8.1.1
    I have since tested this on my 3.06 GHz iMac running OS 10.6.2. This system had already been upgraded to iPhoto 8.1.1 but no calendars or books had been produced since the upgrade.
    The same issues occur.
    2.0 GHz MacBook running iPhoto 8.1 does not have this issue.

    I ran Font Book and Validated all fonts. Cleaned up quite a bit but did not resolve the issue. Fonts are no longer as randomly selected (Kozuka Gothic Pro now selects Kon Tiki Kona consistently) but does show the secondary font choice of the font above it. Current version on Mac Pro seems to corrupt the iPhoto Library. Accessing those iPhoto Libraries from different computer (2.0 GHz iMac running iPhoto 8.1 resolves the issue and reinstates selected fonts).
    Second issue now occurring where previously created Calendars are becoming Books on Mac Pro system. I have tried removing all iPhoto files and reinstalling from iLife '09 disc then upgrading to 8.1 but error still occurs.
    How do you remove all iPhoto files and where are they. I can either reinstall them from iLife '09 disc (again) or copy them from MacBook system where they appear to be working.
    I'm not completely able to locate all iPhoto files it seems.

  • Help:java card and rfid

    I searched a lot about java card and rfid, but don't have a clear idea about the relationship between the two. Please help me....

    They have NO common grounds.
    A java card needs a real "smart" processor because it contains a Java Virtual Machine, can do crypto and other stuff. The cost to produce one is in the multi dollar range. Some java cards can communicate contactless by "radio".
    RFID is the term to describe a very primitive device, all it can do is report a unique identification (ID) and it does this contactless (RF). the cost to produce one is in the cent range. You can use it to track products or containers or other stuff.
    Since RFID is also a very popular buzzword these days, the exact meaning of RFID varies.
    Of course, you could use a java card to play RFID tag, but that would be
    very expensive. Java cards are usually used for bank cards and similar applications.

  • HT3302 I recently fried my iPhone 3GS in water. Is it still possible to get pictures from the SIM card and transfer them to my new iPhone 5s?

    I recently fried my iphone3gs from accidental water submersion . Is it possible to retrieve any photos from the some card and transfer to my new iphone5

    It depends on what kind of sim card and carrier you have, but the most likely answer is no. Contacts, maybe, but pictures are very unlikely. Sorry.

  • Iphoto freezes when trying to create cards and books

    the iphoto app freezes every time i try to create a photo book. I am not sure what to do.

    It doesn't sound like you are actually in iPhoto. The way you can tell is, when you are doing whatever it is you do and the computer "freezes", look in the upper left corner right next to the Apple. What does it say?
    It sounds like Safari is the program having issues.
    Try going to the Safari Menu > Reset Safari. Uncheck the options for Remove other auto... and Remove Saved Names...
    See if that helps.

  • Selectively import iPhoto albums (and keep them in their current location)?

    I'm new to Aperture.
    I have about 60,000 photos in iPhoto. I would like to import my iPhoto collection in year-by-year albums to break up this collection to more manageable pieces. I've made smart albums in iPhoto for each year.
    From Aperture I would like to import these albums while keeping the photos in the iPhoto library.
    I assume I would click the 'import' icon (top left), then navigate to my iPhoto library in the bottom pane, select the album from iPhoto, choose 'Store files: In their current location' and go.
    Problem: my iPhoto library does not appear in the file browser from the import window.
    Am I doing something wrong here? How would I accomplish this? Is there a different/better way to achieve this?

    I had the same idea as you about a year or more ago. The problem with importing iPhoto images into Aperture by reference is that when iPhoto gets updated and its library layout changes (happens every major iPhoto update), Aperture has trouble finding the images. When you try to relocate masters, you cannot peek into the iPhoto library package to reconnect them so you're screwed.
    I have changed my strategy. I now keep all images in Aperture and only copy images into iPhoto when I need some iPhoto feature such as calendars or greeting cards.
