How long should it take to upload pictures for iPhoto books

I have created a book for Christmas on iPhoto.  The book is 100 pages.  There are two steps to the process of sending in your order.
1.  Assembly (which it assembled no problem, under 30 min)
2.  Upload (it shows a bar and a blue line moves as it uploads)
I have been uploading for 2 days now and I am 1/4 of the way there.  Now while I am waiting for it to upload I cannot do anything with my iPhoto pictures.  Which is a problem since I take pictures for my school and I need to edit pictures by Tuesday.
It states under the "Uploading book to the store...."  Note: Any interruption of the upload process will cancel your order.
I have enough memory that this should not be the problem.  I have turned off every application, restarted my computer, checked for updates.  Nothing helps.  I have had to cancel this order 3 times now and restart the process as I needed to use iPhoto for school projects.
This should not take more than 2 days!  What is going on?  Any help would be wonderful.  Thank you

Two days is way too long for the upload, unless you are having a very slow Wi-Fi.
There may be a something interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store (Anti virus software, firewalls), or you have included unprintable items.
Is the PDF preview of your book correct? Make a review and check it carefully for missing items, see this help page:
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
If the preview is alright, try to upload your book again in Safe Mode. That will disable non standard extensions, and prevent them from interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store:

  • HT4859 How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    How long should it take to back up iphone for the first time with about 6 gigs?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
    What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

  • How long should it take to download Lion?

    I bought a new Macbook Pro today.  At 4:30pm I started downloading Lion.  It is still not done yet.  The blue bar under the Lion head is not even half way across!
    How long should this take!?
    I am plugged into the router with an ethernet cable.  It is a wireless router but I am not connecting to the router wirelessly.  I have cable internet.  Not the fastest speed available, but it is still cable internet not dial up or DSL.
    Is something wrong with my computer or the download?
    Thanks,
    Ehren

    I did the speed test.
    Download speed was:  .87 Mbps
    Upload was:  .32 Mbps
    Ping: 58
    So how many Mbps are there in 4gb?  That's how I figure that out right?

    You are on the low end to say the least.  Maybe 10 hours at your speed?

    How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB?  I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night?  Thanks         

    That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

    How long should it take it to back up icloud to iphone 5c?

    The answer depends on the amount of data to be restored, the speed of your Internet connection, and wireless network conditions. It could take the better part of a day.

  • I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

    I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

  • How long should it take to download Mountain Lion?

    How long should it take to download and install Mountain Lion?  I have been downloading it for about 5 hours and it still has 1 gig to go.  My current OS X is 10.7.4

    It depends on what bottlenecks you have interposed.
    If you have a fast Ethernet connection, not cable Internet, that is not throttled by your ISP, and are using fast Ethernet on your local network, you should be able to download in about an hour.
    If you are transmitting it over your wireless connection, it may take substantially longer.

  • HT201376 I've erased and formatted the hard drive accordingly in order to reinstall OS X. everything went fine until about half way through the install. it just seems to stop. how long should this take? should i do something else to speed it up?

    I've erased and formatted the hard drive accordingly in order to reinstall OS X. everything went fine until about half way through the install. it just seems to stop. how long should this take? should i do something else to speed it up?

    About all you can do is wait until it finishes or you get an error message.

  • HT4718 am trying to install OS X Lion for the first time. So far it has been downloading for about 2 hours. How long should it take?

    Can anyone help please?
    Lion download to iMac has been running for about 2 hours and is still not halfway yet. How long should it take? should I cancel and start again?

    1500Kbs is 1.5Mbs. That is Kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so if you divide 1500 (or 1,500,000) by 8 you get 187500 bytes a second. Divide 3.5GBs (3,500,000,000), that capitol B is for Bytes, by that 187500 you get 18666.666 seconds. Which needs to be divided by 60 to get the minutes and then again by 60 to get the hours.
    5.1851xxx hours.
    I use to have a 3Mbs DSL connection and it took me over 3 hours to download Lion. Now that I have a 19Mbs Cable connection it take about an hour to download and install.
    So wait it will happen eventually. If you cancel and start again your are still going to wait 5+ hours.

  • Ripping DVD's - How long should it take?

    How long should it take to rip a whole DVD? PQDVD seems the easiest, but it rips at 1x speed (or close to it). Are there programs out there that do it faster? Are there programs that are cheaper? $35 is a lot of money.

    I use DVD Decryptor (free) to rip the VCD files from the DVD.
    I then use Videora for iPod to encode them to MP4.
    Time for DVD Decrypt is about 15 minutes for a 2 hour movie.
    Time for Videora is about an hour and a half for a 2 hour movie (give or take a half hour).
    DVD Decryptor needs to be set to Not split the files based on size, and there is another tab that asks if you want to split the VCD files at all. Both set to none, find in the options screen.
    Good luck!

  • Downloaded and installed os x yosemite and now mac book pro will not restart? How long should this take? Is there something wrong? Please helpthanks in advance

    MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?

    The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
    The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check  menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed.

    How long is a piece of string? There are so many variables it is impossible to say for sure, how many graphics, videos, what broadband speed you have all have to be taken into account. Why don't you try it and tell us the answer.

    -Data resides on old-school ATA drives
    -OD Master - Kerberized
    -AFP

    -SWUPD
    -VPN
    -Hosting website using MySQL

    Considerations/Hurdles/Challenges:
    -Tossing old G4 into garbage, upgrading Mini client to Snow Leopard, adding Lion iMac client to the LAN
    -Fresh OS installs on the Mini and iMac
    -Upgrading from CAT5 to CATE on the LAN (not it the walls - just loose cables)
    -All new hardware must be sourced out (take some time to price compare)
    -Must find a way to transfer data from ATA drives to SATA drives or Lion Server
    -Company must not have any email downtime (MX Records to be modified on DNS Providers site)
    -Servers hostname goes from "companyserver.company.com" to "server.company.com"
    -ISP blocks some SMTP ports
    -DNS Provider doesn't support TSL/SSL SMTP
    -Implementing a switch into the network
    -Implementing a new router (for firewall and NAT) from ISP
    Upgrading to Lion Mini Server
    -All the same services
    -Using SSL
    -Implementing Mobile Device Enrolment and Deployment
    That should just about cover it. I'll add any other details/hurdles as they come to mind.
    Can you guys give me your best guesstimate as to how many hours you think this job should take? I'd appreciate any feedback as to how long you guys think it'd take you to make this transition. I'm trying to plan, and we're going to be down-and-out, the boss NEEDS to know for how long.!
    Thanks in advance guys!

    It's about a gigabyte, so if you have a slow connection, it might take some time.
    But - you shouldn't be getting the beach ball - that's a different thing.
    Can you do open Activity Monitor, or is it stuck completely?
