HELP WITH ORDERING A BOOK

I've been using iPhoto successfully for a while, and like making and ordering books.
My MacBook had a problem and the IT Manager sorted it - but everything was re-installed.
All is fine, but I'm trying to order a book, and when I click on the BUY button, nothing happens.
I've checked Preferences, registered on my account etc. I have no idea how to connect my book to the ordering facility. My internet connection is working.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
registered on my account etc.
Does that mean you went online and re-entered all of your Apple account information?
First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto, reset its preferences and try again.
If that doesn't help, log into another account on your MBP, create a test library if there is no library there, create a quick test book and try the Buy button. You can abort the purchase process if the Buy button is working.
If the Buy button doesn't work in the other account a reinstall of iPhoto is warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current iPhoto application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Now reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on, apply the latest updater and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Help with ordering prints

Can anyone help with ordering prints for Shutterfly? I keep getting to step 4 (payment type) and then it just goes to blank page and nothing happens.

Thanks for your help, I am new to all of this. I think it was my edited pics that were the problem, they were to big of files, I had to go and save them as a new file as a jpeg and then went to shutterfly and downloaded from there. I never could get it to work from Photoshop Elem.

Looks like some problem! Just try the following steps. They worked for me: 1. Go to shutterfly website (www.shutterfly.com) and log into your account.2. In My Account Section> Billing Information, add your Credit Card details and Save.3. Logout from your account and open Photoshop Elements application to order prints.4. Now,on step4 (payment type),your Credit Card details will appear magically Let me know if this solution works for you. It can be of some help to other members too.

Need help with order booking tutorial

Hi
I am new to OracleFusion.
Started Learning By practising OrderBooking tutorial for 10g.
I am practising parellel branching in the tutorial .
I ve invoked Rapid distributors service in branch 1 of the flow activity.
and
i ve invoked Select manufacturing service in branch 2 of flow activity.
I ve deployed order booking service,rapid distributed service,select manufacturing service in the server.
Select manufacturing service is an asynchronous service .for this service to be complete it requires user to manually set price for the item ordered.
So I accesed SelectManufacturinUI in browser as instructed in book.The problem is tht it is directing me to login page where User id and password should be submitted.
In the tutorial no info is given regarding login details fot this page.Hence i am not able to set price for order.
So the Select manufacturing service is not completed ..hence i am not able to move further in the tutorial..
Kindly help with this..if any one has faced same prblm
thanks

HT204364 Help on Ordering Photo Book

I submitted a 62 page photo book for publication and after paying and, thereafter, gathering done, the order seems to get stuck in download at about the 1/2 way mark (according to Apple's completion bar graph; I know not necessarily accurate). Left it going 2x overnight and still stuck in the morning. Checked for updates to software. Turned compueter off and tried again. My internet speed is good. I have ordered photo books in past and orders were completed without a problem. Thoughts?
By the way, it seems ridiculous that I can't ask Apple these questions for free when I am spending money to purchase products from them (I have three books for holidays lined up). Is there a way when the problem is a purchase problem and not a computer problem?

Here are a some other tricks that helped users get their books ordered. Maybe one will work for you:

Re: book upload fails
Nov 30, 2013 3:02 PM (in response to pablo123)
Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Next:
Here's a fix that worked for some users:
Make sure this checkbox is checked in the System/Sharing preference pane:
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
And lastly:
Quit iPhoto.
From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
Happy Holidays

Very pleased with ordered hardcover book

I just wanted to post that I received my first hardcover book from Apple yesterday, which I created in Aperture 1.5.
After reading a large # of postings on this forum regarding less than stellar results seen by others, I wasn't sure what to expect. There are many reports of the cover photo looking good, but the pages looking poor (washed out, faded, etc). I decided to try one for myself.
What I found was that the book's colors were absolutely beautiful, and matched my system (fully calibrated display, etc) perfectly. The overall quality of the cover, paper, etc are excellent and I would certainly not hesitate to create/order another book.
This is the first book I created/ordered and is a 99-page hardcover, so I had my fingers crossed that the money ($100 plus shipping) wouldn't be wasted. I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations.
I just wanted to share my 2-cents for others who may be sitting on the fence with similar hesitancy that I originally had.
best regards,
Tom

Hi,
Regarding calibrating your display, there are probably a lot of posts on this forum, or even on www.dpreview.com (great site for digital photography, and its forums) that probably go into a lot of detail with many different suggestions on hardware options, etc... If you do a search on "calibrating displays" I'm sure you'll find enough info to keep you busy for quite some time
For my display I use a "Monaco Optix XR" setup (calibration hardware/software) which is pretty straightforward to use. In essence, you attach the calibration sensor to a USB port of your computer, launch the software and it runs through a series of different different color patches on the display and uses the sensor to "read" the colors. From this, it creates a new "profile" which you then re-name and store in the profiles directory on your system. This new profile is then referenced on the system for all color management related items. That's a really simplified, high level description of what really happens under the hood, but for most users the process is pretty easy to follow. Most systems give very good step by step instructions on how to use them.
The link to the Optix XR can be found at:

Good luck, and hope this helped.

Need help with pagination for book

I am working on a book and need help with the pagination. I was able to make the TOC and front matter show the numbers as Roman numerals, and the body of the text as Arabic numerals, but I can't figure out how to restart the numbering sequence for the body of the text. So the front matter is numbered i-xvi, and the text is 17-681. I need the text to start with the number 1. Each subsequent chapter is a section break as well, if that makes a difference.
Many thanks,
J

Help me order a book, please!

I am trying to order an ibook for my brothers wedding album, however it keeps rejecting, when i viewed it in the PDF file, the pics are cut off and not in the same format I have made the book in. How do I fix this so I can order this book?

My photobook is rejected as well. I’ve restarted the computer, updated the software, closed other applications like it said in the mail I got from Apple Print Products Support. In preview or PDF there are in fact some distortions. So I tried to make photobooks of other photo’s on another account on the same computer. Same thing. I even tried it on another computer in the house with about the same configuration. Also on this machine the pics were partly distorted, but in a different way. On both machines I use iPhoto '11 in Mac OS 10.7.2. I turned off the internet connection when I made the previews. Today I did a little test on my computer at work which runs an older version ('09) of iPhoto in 10.5. I haven’t tested it enough but it appeared there were no problems.

Help with a program book ad page

Hello,
I have finished creating an ad for a program book and I cannot get it to either print right or when I did get it to do right I now have a right margin going into the crease and I have my ad going over the 1/4 margins on the bottom.
First I set up a 8.5 in by 5.5 in page size (size of program book) because I am only going to be using 1/2 of that page for my ad. I finished my design, then printed it out. My design came out landscape on the page, rather than upright portrait on the page. Obviously I think Im getting its because of the way it wants to print it. There are not many choices given in the print options for telling it to print a certain way (at least I cant find it).
Now, after messing with that a few times, I somehow finally got it to print at the top left of my paper (it actually doesnt matter if its at the top or bottom). When I fold it to 8.5 in x 5.5 in and fold the book in half I can see its not set up correct. I am not sure if its on my end or if its the printer again. The right margin runs into the spine of my paper (or crease) and the bottom of my ad has run over the middle crease. My left margin is at least 1/2" away from the left edge of my paper. I need my ad to be 1/2 the page of a 8.5in x 5.5 in page. The ad's are sold as a full page or 1/2 page.
My page set up is as a document. Its set as Page Size: Letter - 1/2 (I did not set this?), width 5.5 in and height 8.5 in, orientation is Portrait. I do have a bleed, but I dont need it and ignore it. Ive started my ad at the top Margin lines, but I made ad short of the right margin, so as to leave room near the inside crease where it would be stapled. I did not set up these margin lines and not sure how to change it. When I added my background artwork, I pulled it down till it turned PINK so that I would know where the middle of the page is. But my ad prints over this.
I am needing this ad to be at least 1/2" away from the top, left and right margin of the page and pretty close to the 1/2 page mark, but not over. Do i make sense?
Now, just a little back ground. Ive designed program books in the past using Publisher. I designed a whole program book, cover to cover and I had very little issues doing it. Now I am using InDesign for the first time to do this and struggling a bit here. The printing of stuff from ID is also driving me nuts. Im not liking the way ID prints and if I tell my Epson printer how to print, it doesnt work and continues to give me crappy outputs.
Any help would be appreciated. I need to turn this in tonight, but i cant turn in a camera ready printout if its not printing out correctly.
Thank you,
Tina

So, whatever is the easiest way for her to get this ad, so that she doesnt somehow mess it up.
You really can't control for that. If she doesn't know what she's doing, you could send her a technician with a brand new printer, and she could do it wrong. The best you can do is to communicate to her what you intend, and hope she can pull it off. I'd send a PDF set to the final size with the margins, and one without the margins. When she opens them, she will see something like this:
This is a screenshot from Acrobat showing the white document size against the black background that represents what is outside of the document. You can see the amount of white space that surrounds the image area (the placeholder type), so you know how much border you intended.
Now, your InDesign document is half-letter size (5.5x8.5). If you subtract the amount of margin you used (in my example, I used .5" on all sides), you have the size of the image area (my example has a 4.5x7.5 image area). You can make a new InDesign document the size of your image area (4.5x7.5) and place the PDF that has the margins (like in the screenshot above) onto the page and position it so that the image area lines up with the document page borders, as you can see in this screenshot:
You can see the blue InDesign image frame with the handles, which is the size of the half-letter PDF, and the image area contained within the document border, which is the black stroke that you normally see in InDesign. Don't worry about the magenta inner margin—that could be set to anything, and isn't in play here. In order to position the placed PDF into the new 4.5x7.5 InDesign document, when you place the PDF, check the Show Import Options box in the Place window. that will bring up a new screen after you select which image you are placing and you hit the OK button. The screen looks like this:
In the Options section, change the Crop to from Bounding Box (Visible Layers only) (which should be the default choice) to Art, and you will see the dotted line that represents the size of the image change to include the margins.
Now, when you place the image, just set the position proxy (which looks like this: ) to the top left corner and in the X and Y fields, enter the negative of the amount of margin you have. Since I used .5" margins, I set X and Y to -.5" each, and that aligned the image area of the larger PDF to the document borders of the smaller InDesign document. You could just eyeball it in if you want, but this way you can be a little more sure you aren't cutting off a hair of some of your image area.
If you export that document to PDF, it will look like this:
…which the person who will be putting this together will probably use, since it will be easier to place into something like Publisher or Word because it is smaller than a half page (an image that is larger than the document will probably be reduced in size to fit automatically—something that Word does, and maybe Publisher does that too, but I don't use Publisher so I don't know). How She positions it within the page is up to her, and not something you can control unless you are in the room with her, so it's a crapshoot. She could also use the PDF with the margins if it works better for her, but all you can do is explain to her what you are sending and what you would like.

Help With Colouring In Book For Children.

Hello. I am part of a group of volunteers that give up their time in order to support disabled children. The local centre were we volunteer has recently received a donation of computers specially designed for the children. The team and I were thinking of suitable activities that could be done on the computer.
We came up with the idea of having an interactive colouring book were the children are able to choose between various colours and basically customise different characters and items.
We have a trip to Disney Land Paris coming up in February and have decided to try and use this as a theme for some of the activities.
The idea that we have came up with is an interactive Disney Colouring Book.
Now I am no wizard on computer but have been doing my best to create this using flash. (This is because if we create it ourselves we will be able to change it so suit are needs)
So far we’ve been able to get a background etc done for the colouring book with speaking Disney characters but I am having great difficulty making the actually colouring of the Disney characters.
I was wondering if anyone here would be able to help?
I’ve tried using numerous guides but it doesn’t seem to work out for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is a link to a picture of Mickey Mouse incase anyone needs it.
The goal will be to make a number of the charters in the book but if we are able to obtain one finished one we should be able to use it as an example and create our own.

The idea is to have all the parts of his clothing interactive along with his nose.
Thanks in advance..

Here is a quick and dirty example of how to use floodFill() for your task. I don't have a place to post fla, so follow the instructions:
1. Save this image on your hard drive:
http://flashascript.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/mickey_mouse.png - it is done in a such way that back color is 0x000000 - code relies on this
2. Import image to Flash library
3. In the library - right click on image --> linkage --> check export for Action Script --> give class name mickey_mouse (make sure that Base class is flash.display.BitmapData). CODE RELIES ON CLASS NAME mickey_mouse!!!
4. Paste the following code on timeline --> compile --> start colorizing by clicking on color chip and then on the image. Note that only OTHER THAN BLACK areas of image accept new colors.

     var chip:MovieClip;
     for (var i:int = 0; i < colors.length; i++) {
          chip = makeChip(colors[i]);
          chip.y = (chip.height + 2) * i;
          palette.addChild(chip);
          chip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, chooseColor);
     addChild(palette);
     palette.x = 10;
     palette.y = 20;
// colorizes OTHER than black areas with chosen color
function onImageClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
     // if selected area is not black - change color
     if (imageBitmapData.getPixel(e.localX, e.localY) > 0) {
          imageBitmapData.floodFill(e.localX, e.localY, currentColor);
function chooseColor(e:MouseEvent):void
     // set current color to clip's color property
     currentColor = MovieClip(e.target).color;
function makeChip(color:uint):MovieClip {
     var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
     mc.graphics.beginFill(color);
     mc.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 30, 30);
     mc.graphics.endFill();
     // movie clip hold the color
     mc.color = color;
     return mc;
Again, if you choose this approach - you will need to prepare images so that they have one color (in this case black) that is unambiguous and is excluded from color choices.

Help with restoring Address Book from Time Machine

Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
I don't understand.
Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
Please help!

Hello mb9236,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with restoring a contact from Time Machine.
It sounds like you are trying to restore the Address Book application. The Address Book application is just the application and does not include the content in Address Book.
Instead, you will want to open Address Book and then launch Time Machine and restore your contacts from there. Use the steps below to restore your contacts form a previous date (in step one instead of opening Mail or Finder, be sure you have Address Book open and in focus):
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily bring back one or more items you’ve lost, or recover older versions of files you’ve changed.
Open a window for the item you want to restore. For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. If you back up to a Time Capsule or other network disk, a message briefly appears while Time Machine connects your computer to the backup disk.
Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the snapshots and backups Time Machine created. Gray tick marks on the timeline represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk.
If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it. The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it, and then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk. The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.
If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
You can use Time Machine from within many applications. For example, you can open Address Book and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to recover contacts you may have accidentally deleted, or open iPhoto and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to view past versions of your iPhoto albums.
