How to recover a book created with iphoto

Hi!!! I need all your help instructing me on where I can find and how I can recover manually from a Time Machine backup a book created in iphoto....??? Thanks!!!

you can not "recover a book" - a book is just entries in the iPhoto database and you ahve to recover the entire iPhoto database that has the book in it
launch TM and go back to the time you want to recover and click recover - it generally is best to select the option to keep both versions so you do not overwrite your current library
You can switch between libaries by doing an option-launch and using the select library option

  • I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto.

    I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto. It has never happened to me before and I have ordered plenty of books in the past few years. Any ideas why the order button is suddenly greyed out?

    Hi markfromthornleigh, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you're not able to order a book using iPhoto, start with the troubleshooting steps in the first two sections of this article:

  • Need to reprint photo book created with iPhoto & My Publisher

    I created two photo books in December of 2006 via iPhoto and used the My Publisher plugin to use that service for output. Anyway, I gave the book as a gift and now I would like to make a copy for myself. The problem is that My Publisher cannot reprint these books... this was verified today by one source at MP.
    So, what are my options, I strongly prefer the MP option (that's not available) because I wanted an exact copy and the price is right (about half of what Apple charges last I checked).
    BTW: These two books were created with two different versions of iPhoto... maybe v5 & v6.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    So, what are my options,
    If My Published will not reprint for you then that is not a choice
    So your choices are to order from Apple or redo the book for some other source of your choice

  • How to recover a page created with iweb

    I have created a personal website with iweb on my laptop.The hard drive of my macbook died and i lost all datas. My webpage is published on the net but i do not know how to access it, modify it or even delete it! help please :-)

    The file you need to have from your old hard drive  is titled Domain.sites and would have been kept in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on that hard drive.
    If you have a backup of that file somewhere get it and put it in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the new hard drive, replacing the domain file that's there, and open with iWeb.  That will get your website back in iWeb.
    If you do not have a backup of that file you will have to rebuild your website from scratch because iWeb can't import or read published html files.  It can only create them. 
    If you have to rebuild from scratch Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the new site.

  • Large books created with iPhoto

    Hello, I am disappointed by the book I ordered abt. 6 month ago. The pciture no not appear fantastic and the paper quality is too light. Do you know whether there is any improvement in the pipeline ?

    1 - this is strictly a user to user forum so no one here has any "special" information
    2 - Apple does not discuss upcoming items so it is unlikely that anyone has information about future changes if any
    3 - very few people have had issues with the books - in fact most people are thrilled - did you contact Apple with your concerns? http://www.apple.com/chfr/support/photoservices/product_troubleshooting/
    4 - The paper is documented and you can verify that it meets your needs in advance - http://www.apple.com/chfr/support/photoservices/product_specs/

  • How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09?

    How do you resize photos on a page of a book created in iPhoto '09? I can zoom in or out, but I can't figure out how to make a photo smaller. Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout? I'd like to work with maximum flexibility, like starting from the blank template in iWeb, where I can add any number of photos, text, and change all the sizes. Is this possible? Thanks.

    You resize the photo by clicking on it and zooming
    You can not resize the photo frame
    Is this just because I am working in a Contemporary book format, using a 2 photos per page layout?
    No they all work the same - see Liz Castro's page - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/ - for a detailed description of iPhoto '08 layouts - all of those carry forward to iPhoto '09 plus there are new ones that she has not documented yet
    I'd like to work with maximum flexibility, like starting from the blank template in iWeb, where I can add any number of photos, text, and change all the sizes. Is this possible?
    Not in iWeb but you can do pages in any page layout program (word, pagemaker, pages, etc) and print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option to create a totally custom page - see Old Toad's tutorial #19 - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/No._19.html - for directions

  • How to delete invisible file created by iPhoto

    I use MacBook and keep my iPhoto library on external hard drive. External disk got disconnected accidentally and I was requested to import the library again.
    I imported library from my external drive but the file created by iPhoto is not visible and I cannot find it either in folder Pictures or using Spotlight. However, I can see that available space on my MacBook hard drive is reduced for 10GB, which is actually the size of my iPhoto library.
    Any suggestion how to find invisible file created by iPhoto and delete it from the hard disk on my computer? Many thanks for your help.

    Do a Spotlight search for "Library6.iPhoto" on your boot drive and that will tell you where the iPhoto LIbrary is hiding.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Moving a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop

    Any idea how to move a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop in order to do some editing before submitting to apple for purchase? Iphoto on laptop is version 4.0 or 5.0. Desktop version has 8.0.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    There's only one way to do it.
    iPhoto stores your books etc within the main database file. There is no way to transfer this to another library. You'll need to copy the entire library to bring it to a machine with an internet connection.
    Here's a tip: duplicate the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and open the Copy library. From these, delete any pics not in a book etc - put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it (iPhoto menu -> Empty Trash). That way you'll only bring the minimum you need with you to the machine with the internet connection.
    However, beware - there's no guarantee the the book template you're using in v4 (or v5) is the same - or even available - in v7 (iLife 08)

  • How do i make a slideshow with iphoto for my mother and view on apple TV?

    How do i make a slideshow with iPhoto fo rmy mother and view on my appleTV.  I guess i need to know the best/easiest way.  Do i create a slideshow in iPhoto and then it will automatically pop up on my apple TV Photos?  or is it really not that easy?  i don't want to do airplay......i would like to sit and enjoy it with her.

    icloud sync would only be an option if you login with your appleID
    so think flickr is the easy way

  • When i attempt to buy a book created on iPhoto, i get a message that the book is incomplete when, in fact, all of the photo spaces are filled?

    when i attempt to buy a book created on iphoto, it says i can't because all of the photo spaces are not filled with pics.  when i go back and review the book, all spaces are filled.... any ideas

    That is correct - you must have a photo in every photo frame to order

    Launch iPhoto with the Option/Alt key held down and in the window that  comes up select the library you want to open.
    With iPhoto 9.X one can also switch libraries via the File menu:

  • How to Recover a Dark Picture with a Heavy Color Cast

    I just posted this article about how to recover a dark picture with a heavy
    color cast using Lab Color mode in Photoshop. I hope it will be helpful to
    others.

    None taken. I am unfamiliar with ACR and would love to see (compare) what it
    could do with the sample PNG file in the article, and how much time it took.
    The results I achieved in the article took only a few minutes to
    complete--though as I mention below, it took more than a few minutes to get
    to the point where I could do it in a few minutes.
    I happened across a web site one day discussing the techniques in Margulis'
    LAB Color book, which interested me enough to purchase it. I found the book
    very enlightening and have seen incredible results using the techniques he
    describes as applied to my various images. I've also ready his Professional
    Photoshop book which focuses more on CMYK, and found many techniques in
    there just as enlightening.
    Ultimately the tools and techniques used are irrelevant if you get the
    results you want... but if you find one that works faster, easier or better,
    then certainly you should employ it.
    I have no problem working in RGB, CMYK or LAB and find benefits from each.
    The particular sample image I used in the article was one that I've spent
    (too much) time cleaning up in various ways and in various color spaces (or
    combinations thereof). It became my "poster child" image to work on as I
    continue to build my Photoshop skills. The approach I used in the article
    was the one I found most to be the fasted with the most effective results.
    The original was a 6MP JPG file. I reduced it to the size in the article and
    then worked on that size for the remaineder of the article. The resutls are
    equivelant in the fullsize file.

  • HT201882 reprint of book made with iPhoto?

    Many years ago I made a book for my wife in iPhoto.  Is there any way to order a reprint of the same book? I no longer have the book/project in my iphoto library.

    For future books you might consider doing what I do:  create a separate library for each book and copy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. 
    When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1 Can I delete more that one photo at a time?  Thanks!!

    I have Mac Book Pro with iPhoto version 9.5.1.  Is there a way to delete more than one photo at a time?  Thanks!!!

    Hi LarryJackie,
    When you go into Photos (or an Album or Event), click on the first photo you want to delete. If you want to delete a whole selection of photos in a row, hold down the Shift key, and then click on the last photo in the section you want to delete. All of the photos will be selected. Then click on Photos in the top menu and click on Move to Trash.
    If you want to select photos that are not in a row, then click on the first photo, then hold down the Command key, then click on other photos you want to select. Keep the Command key held down until you have selected all of the photos you want. Then click on Photos in the top menu and then Move to Trash.
    Cheers,
