HT2481 Issue uploading book in iphoto

Hi guys.
Right I have seen hundreds of threads related to this issue but a quick rundown as I have tried everything.
Using an iMac running mountain lion 10.8 OS, we made a photo book in photo. The book assembles perfectly but once it starts uploading to apple it just stalls out.
The bank informed me that a payment had gone through but the upload bar just stalls. Left it for about 2 hours but no progress neither do i receive a notification that it has uploaded.
Please guys. Really need help with this.
Thanks in advance

This is what Larry's referring to on the Store page:

Cant upload book from iphoto

Set up book. The program then started the process. When it got to upload part it froze my computer. No progress on the progress bar. I have a cable modem and great upload and download speed. When I tried to exit program my iMac froze and wouldnt allow force quit. Nothing worked. I unpluged the computer and started all over--same result.

First create a PDF copy of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it and proof the contents before ordering.
Save the PDF file to compare with the printed version when you receive it.
Next boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and order the book while in Safe Mode.
Are you ordering an XL sized book? iPhoto is know to have problems with that size. If you can't get the XL sized book ordered in Safe Mode you'll have to change the size Large. Here's how:
1 - Control-click on the book in the left hand pane and select Duplicate from the contextual menu.
2 - carefully check all text boxes and photos to make sure all is as you want it.
3 - create the PDF file before ordering.
4 - if unsuccessful boot into Safe Mode and continue as described above.

Problems uploading book to iPhoto

last year I put together a photo book of our vacation and had some issues with iphoto uploading the book but finally got it worked out and was able to order the book. I haven't ordered anything since. This year I have been trying for 5 days to get the book to upload without success. the book will read that it is assembled but will get stuck on the upload at about 30%. I have read the forums from a couple of years ago and have tried what they said to get it to work with out any luck Has anyone else had the same issue but able to resolve it?

how can I tell which version of iphoto I have?
With iPhoto running go to the iPhoto menu and select About iPhoto.
Are you able to create a PDF file of the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

IPhoto book upload failed using iPhoto 9.4.3 and Mountain Lion

Hi
I have tried to upload iPhoto book several times but the upload failed. I have tried rebooting my iMac in Safe Mode but this results in iPhoto closing when I try to buy my book. I have uploaded books in the past using Snow Leopard with no issues.

I hope this helps, thank you for taking an interest in this problem.

When I finally 'upload' a book from iphoto my computer freezes. Can you help?

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.

I am unable to upload my book to iPhoto

I have been trying to upload my photo book to iphoto. I show I am connected but I am unable to choose a quantity or sign on. I have DSL. This is the first book I have compiled on the new imac and I have never had any issues on our older imac or ibook. I am also having the same issue with ordering prints.

I am having the same problem. I had the ability to choose the number of books and then had an error message. Now, my number of books are grayed out. Does anyone know if this error is related to a maximum number of pages? If so, what is the maximum number of pages?

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:
See: Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

Try Old Toad's solution here: See Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

.Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
See:
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
Is that the message?
"your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

I've created a Photo Book in iPhoto, it quits uploading halfway through.

I've spent many days creating a Photo Book using iPhoto and now I'm ready to order it! But twice now it quits halfway through the uploading process. How can I figure out what the problem is? I was really looking forward to see this project as a finished product.

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.
How does this work

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.

Is it possible to upload photos from iPhoto '11 to multiple face book accounts?

I am a novice to the whole Mac experience and iPhoto so please bear with me. Hopefully I can ask my question so that it makes sense.
I can automatically upload pictures from iPhoto to my face book account, but can not set it up so that other family members can add photos to their face book accounts. I read the "help" section about this topic, but I am missing something... I can go to Share and select the face book option, but the "set up" option isn't available.
I appreciate any advice that you may have.

Greetings Melissa,
I only have 1 Facebook account so I can't test this but I have a suggestion:
Try adding more than one account by going to iPhoto > Preferernces > Accounts and using the plus sign to add 1 account and then another.
If you can add multiple accounts here you may then be able to drag the images you want from your library to the various Facebook accounts on the left hand side of iPhoto even if the Share button only understands 1 account.
Let us know if iPhoto will allow you to add more than one in this manner.
Cheers.

I'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process

i'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process. Whats the problem?

Hi TD,
Yes they do appear in full size and I can edit them. I've just realized that it's not just photos from the Net that are not appearing - it seems to be happening for all photos I've imported into iPhoto after a certain date.
After spending many more frustrating hours trying to work this out, I found that if I click all of the 'events' which contain the photos I'm after and then create a Book - all these photos appear in the selection window strip. However I still need to work out a proper solution as this still limits me to only those photos in the highlighted 'events' and no new pictures can be added to that particular Book.
Heeeelp please!

After creating a hardcover book in iPhoto how do you copy and create wire bound issues of the same book?

I created a hardcover book in iPhoto. Now, I want to make additional copies but wire bound instead of hardcover. Can't seem to make it happen.

Duplicate the book in case of problems (command-D) and click on change theme - select the same theme and the new binding -
