HELP! PURCHASING PICTURE BOOKS FROM iPHOTO!

I made a book with pictures in it using iPhoto. I selected 'buy now' and filled out the payment info. It was uploading the pictures, but then my computer went to sleep and I went through the process again. I just realized that I may have accidentally bought two books. Is there any way that I can check this? No e-mail confirmation was sent to me... and if I go to the apple store it doesn't have it on my recent orders.
Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Export picture book from iPhoto 6 to iPhoto 11

Hello,
I had created a picture book using the baby theme in iPhoto 6. But since iPhoto 6 no longer supports the "buy the book" option, I will need to export the book to my Macbook Pro which is running iPhoto 11. How can I do so, especially that the baby theme is not available in iPhoto 11 now.
Many thanks!

You'll have to try a different theme that's available in iPhoto 11 - possibly Crayon
or Watercolor.
To create a pdf of the book in iPhoto 6 just Control-click on one of the pages and select Save as PDF from the contextual menu.

HT201272 I have purchased 17 books from iTunes in the past 6 years and I can't locate them in my purchased items. They show up in my purchase history but I lost one of the books and would like to download it again. Help!!!!

In the past 6 years I have purchased many books from iTunes. I lost one of them and would like to download it again, however it is not showing up in my purchased screen. All of my music, movies, and shows are showing but none of my books. They do show up in my purchase history, how can I get them back? Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

Can I make a book from iPhoto that is more words than pictures?

Sure - use lots of all text pages
You can not modify the templates - you have to fine one that works for you - samples of iPHoto '09 templets are here - they pretty much exist in '11 plus there are more options - what version of iPhoto do you have?

Purchased two books from IBooks store, no pictures.

I purchased two books from IBooks store (both $12.99). "A Company of Heroes" is one. The books are excellent but do not contain any pictures that the hardcover editions have in my local bookstore. I could have bought the print versions for around $15.00, now I feel it was a waste of $$. I checked all the settings and the addendum has a list of all photos in the book but no way to access them, if they are even there. Any thoughts

It's apparently quite difficult in the current ePub specification to do layouts that combine images and text. The Winnie-the-Pooh book is frequently held up as a very hand-crafted example not easy to duplicate. Supposedly the publishers and other concerned parties are working on updating the specification to address some of ePub's shortcomings, but what might come of that and when is difficult to estimate.

Boot into Safe Mode and try again.
If that doesn't work:
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Problems with ordering Books from iPhoto '09

I tried ordering 2 books from iPhoto ’09 (version 8.1.2 (424) - this is the iPhoto that I have) yesterday, and I got this message: "Please check your network connection and try again"... so I checked my network connection and it was fine. I tried again summiting the order and the same message appeared again
I checked all the photos and everything look fine. So, I tried to summit the order again. The same message appeared. I stopped trying sending it again.
After, I checked my emails and saw that I got charged 3 times for the books! I never got an email from apple with a confirmation number for the order(s) nor nothing! I tried looking for a number or email that I can send them about my problem but I can’t anything.
Please Help! I have a deadline to meet.
How can I know if at least one order went through and how can I stop two of the charges?

To check orders go to your account in the apple store and check order status

Language settings in Store when ordering a book from iPhoto?

I wanted to order a book from iPhoto but the language was in French.
How do I change the language settings in the store if I come from iPhoto directly into the store?
note: I was accessing the Swiss store and it automatically defaulted to French

Most likely you have a page with a "grey" palm tree or background on it - this is a background that contains a photo
First go through you book and see if there are any grey backgrounds - if there are either add a photo as the background or change the background to a solid color
If this does not work then you have a hidden photo background and you will need to go through the book again and select every full page photo layout and change it to a single photo layout that is not full page so you can see the background - when you find a grey background change it to a solid background and change the photo layout back to full page
You will find your "missing" photo(s) and be able to order
I also suggest asking Apple to provide some tools to help find these missing photos - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
I also recommend looking through Liz Castro's web page for additions information on backgrounds and layouts for each iPhoto book theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
