HT1048 Edit delivery information when ordering iphoto book

I am trying to order a photo book using iphoto (iPhoto 9.1.5). I've changed the delivery address in my Apple ID account but the country where I want the book to be delivered wont change in iPhoto when I am suppose to provide delivery information. How do I change COUNTRY at the step of providing delivery address?

Remember books can only be delivered to the same country as the credit card's billing address. So if your credit card if bill to a different country as the one you want to ship it to it can't be done.

IPhoto '11 quits unexpectedly when ordering a book, gets about 2 pages loaded and then quits.

IPhoto '11 quits unexpectedly when I place an order for a book. After about 2 pages are uploaded or processed (the first step) iPhoto quits. Software is up to date and I have ordered books before in earlier versions of iPhoto. This is the first order in iPhoto '11.
iPhoto has quit unexpectedly before but this is consistent when ordering a book.

I have the exact same problem. If you try to "export as PDF" the same thing happens even with a new book project with no text and no photos. (You can make a PDF via the print command but that doesn't help much when ordering a book.)
I deleted the iPhoto plist, did a restart, checked for bad fonts, checked and rebuilt the iPhoto library, tried signing in as a different user, checked for updates, repaired permissions, all to no avail. (I don't have any third party iPhoto plug-ins.)
I happened to have another hard drive with a fresh OS on it - I installed iLife on it, did a software update. I opened iPhoto and picked my existing library and everything worked with out an issue and I was able to order my book.
I assume that there is a software conflict in my system, I just don't have an idea what it could be.
I think I'll wait for 10.7 and get a new hard drive and get a fresh start - unless someone can come up with a solution...

Unable to order iphoto books :(

Hi,
I've never had trouble ordering iphoto books before. In fact, I order one every year on our anniversary. This year, I have tried to order our iphoto book 5 times and each time it makes it to the uploading page and then freezes. I have to hardboot my computer in order to exit out of iphoto. Does anyone know if this is a software glitch or if there is a setting I need to change? I love ordering iphoto books and feel very discouraged
Thank you, Jenny

Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
If it is correct boot into safe mode and preview again (note that safe mode disables some fonts) and then order while in safe mode

Ordering iPhoto books from Australia

Although a year ago Steve Jobs announced iphoto books were now available "world wide" he left Australia way down under! and living here in Sydney I cant order iphoto books without a US credit card. So, my question, Who would like to be my iphoto book buddy? Im looking for someone stateside who I can send my iphoto files to with money and have them order a book for me from there own Macs. Any one out there?
PS I'll send you my own photos of kangaroos, echidnas, cockatoos etc as a bonus for being a helpful, unseen friend!

Although the site says you need a US credit card, you don't and you can use an Australian Credit card just fine, you have to fudge the state and zip code but a bit of crativity will fix that. Helps if you use a different e-mail address and create a new Apple login. So all you need is somebody who is happy to provide the US (might also be possible to get somebody in Canada or Europe if you know somebody there) address, and you just need to send them $10 for express postage.
I've ordered two books this way, with no great problems, just the wait to get them

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/

Can I give a different address for delivery when ordering a book?

When ordering a photo album via iPhoto, can I ask for delivery to another address than my own?

@sfhowes: That sounds just like what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Ordering iPhoto book causes kernal panic

I replaced an external drive that failed. Data recovered and put onto the new drive included my iPhoto Libraries.
I have a library for creating books, and I have just created one. When I order the book, it 'connects' and begins to 'assemble book' but never gets beyond 14 of my 24 pages. The computer either freezes entirely and I have to manually shut down, or I get the black screen overlay telling me to restart my computer immediately (kernal panic).
Have read in iMac discussions re: kernal panics, and have repaired disks and permissions. Everything else works fine except the book ordering in iPhoto.
Should I reinstall iPhoto?

Beverly:
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't help make a backup copy of the library and then rebuild it by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
A workaround would be to boot into Safe Mode and try ordering the book.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Cannot order Iphoto Book

So every time I try and order an IPHOTO book it freezes after it "assembles"- while it's uploading the photos OR it uploads all the photos and right at the end it says "Click Retry to upload the failed asset again or Cancel Order to cancel your Order. What would you like to do?" - I've retried like 3 times.
So I was had OS X 10.5, bought snow leapord, upgraded to Mavericks, bought IPHOTO 11, then had to get the photo upgrader so I did.
The PHOTO book was created when I had the old version of IPHOTO so I spent all last night redoing the whole book (as in creating a new book and replacing the photos) and it is still not working.
I've made sure the I have the correct country & everything I just have no idea what to do at this point. There are no errors popping up in the book.
Can anyone help?

Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and create a PDF preview file of your book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
Be sure to proof read the PDF file for any errors, i.e. typos, photos or fonts not appearing, etc, before ordering. Once you're satisfied that there are no errors order your book while in Safe Mode. Keep the PDF file for comparison to the printed copy when you receive it.
If that fails to do the job try the following;
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.

Unable to order iphoto book

Using iphoto 09 (v8.1.2), created a photo book but when I try to order using the Buy Book option I am unable to get past the order book window. This window shows the order details, it provides a new set up account option but does not provide an existing account option, I already have an existing apple store account. The account window and quantity options are greyed out.

the answer is
go to the Apple store and re-enter (do not just verify but re-enter) all of your account information there and try

Order iPhoto books

I tried to order a book via iPhoto that I had printed before but this time I wanted it shipped to a relatives's address. I fully expected that like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Maryland Square, LL Bean and others that even though I have a default address I would see a second window showing that address and allowing me to change the shipping address of this shipment. I did not and the order went and when I called AppleCare for advice I got a support page (not intuitive to me). I got instructions (6 to 7 steps) and would suggest that someone look at the order page confirmation (like other online stores) that allow a shipping address review before the order is placed. Once I hit the buy button there was not chance to put in another address and one Apple way is to change the default address every time and I do not have to do that with most other online stores. The Apple way is non-intuitive (they have a small book on it). It should be more intuitive like most of the application software.

Setting the photos to look at when making iPhoto book

I'm trying to make an iPhoto book in iPhoto. The problem I have is in when you select photos to add photos to your Book, the drop down selections are:
All Photos In Project
Placed Photos
Unplaced Photos
* My Last Project *
Last Import
Last 12 Months
Flagged
What I'd like to do is be able to add a value to that drop down or add an album. What happens is I start creating my Book, then I realized I want another picture that was not originally part of my project into the book. Then I do some editing on that photo and import it into iPhoto. Sometimes I import other photos into iPhoto after that first picture I edited, but now I have say 5 photos on different imports that I'd like to include into my book. The only easy way I can view those photos I have found is if I flag them if they are not part of the Last Import. I was wondering if there was a better way that would allow me to just choose photos from an already existing album or something that was not part of the initial project.
In the drop down, the *My Last Project*, I'm not even really sure how that gets populated. It looks to be the last project I imported or edited, but not really sure. So in the end, is there a better way I can add photos to a photo book? Or is flagging the best way? Thanks.

What is your iPhoto version?
The only easy way I can view those photos I have found is if I flag them if they are not part of the Last Import. I was wondering if there was a better way that would allow me to just choose photos from an already existing album or something that was not part of the initial project.
You can always add to the original project by dragging photos to this project when browsing events or albums.
the *My Last Project*, I'm not even really sure how that gets populated. It looks to be the last project I imported or edited, but not really sure.
The "Your Last project" will be the event you browsed last from the "Events" view in the source list.
In most cases flagging will be the best solution - that is what flags are for.

How to order iPhoto book from South Africa - not listed as country option

How do you go about ordering an iPhoto book from South Africa - it is not listed as a country of option?

I've found an excellent solution.
www.24hourphotobooks.co.za
I just saved it as a PDF and uploaded it to their website... their prices are resonable, the product is really beautiful and of superior quality, and they are super efficient!
I've since used them twice! Brilliant company... I recommend you try them (also, they are based in Linbro business park in Johannesberg so you can pick up your book if you live in Jozi instead of courier... but for all other areas of SA they deliver to your door! Fantastic!)
Hope this helps!

Ordering iPhoto Book abroad

I'm a .mac member living in Hong Kong, which iPhoto book is not supported over here. Can I still purchase iPhoto Book on line and have it delivered to my friend's place in USA where this service is supported?

Have just found myself in the same boat - checked the iLife06 page (http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/features/books.html) and couldn't find anything about geographical limitations, so went ahead and prepared a few books. Just hit "buy book" to purchase the first one, and discovered that I couldn't order one from Hong Kong.
Given the copyright considerations, I can completely understand why I can't purchase music and/or movies from the iTunes music store, but not being able to purchase an iPhoto book makes little sense, and is one of those little things that makes me wonder about the Apple promise that "it all just works together". Given that it's all about being online, I'm not sure why a small postage charge can't fix things.
Anyway, time for me to go and sulk in a corner...
