I'm making a Iphoto book...

I want to make a map of where we went, but no matter what I do the map stays in Denmark. If I write Bolivia and La Paz, it will place La Paz in Denmark...

iPhoto '08
Sorry - I went by your profile
try assigning a place you want to one of the photos in the event and then it should automatically show up in that place
I use a GPS camera so have places for all of my photo and do not actually have to assigne them

When making an iphoto book I double click to open a page and nothing happens

When making an iphoto book nothing happens when I double click to open a page to work on it.

Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Is it possible to use more than 1 theme in making an iPhoto book?

I am looking at making a 'Picture Book' in iPhoto '11.
1) Am I able to use more than 1 theme per book?
2) If not, am I able to change the background colour/layout to my own choice?

Yes - so long as the program uses Apple standard printing - just do a print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option

Is there a maximum number of photos in an album for making an iPhoto book?

is there a maximum number of photos that you can upload into an iPhoto book from an album?
trying to make a book and only some of the photos from my album are there

No
There is a maximum numb of pages in a book (100 pages) and the larges page I am aware of holds 16 photos so the maximun number of photos you could have in a book would be 1600

Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened? Did you add a page with a map?
Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable. In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link: Getting rid of problem photo book

How do you write (large) texts in an iPhoto book?

I am making an Iphoto book and want some of the pages to be dedicated to large texts. The only problem is that when I press the text box and start writing, I can't actually see what I am writing. Then if I click away I can see the text I have written. If I click the box again, and start writing again (without being able to see anything written), I write from the beginning, not from where I finished the previous writing. Plus, I can't delete the text if I make a mistake.

If the test library worked at it should with the book text then you need to repair your original library. Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

Iphoto book picture resolution

I am making an Iphoto book and am importing pictures from old libraries. The resolution on the pictures go as low as 500 kb. I am putting 4 pictures to a page, so the pictures are not large. Will that resolution be okay? The pictures appear to be fine and there is no indication that they will show as being of poor quality. I was wondering how low you can go with the resolution. Thank you.

your will see a yellow triangle with an ! in it if the resolutions is too low for the size you have chosen to use.

Efficient workflow for large iPhoto books

I have searched extensively but if this is covered somewhere else please forgive me and redirect, thanks.

When making an iPhoto book (love 'em!) I usually use smart albums to make a shortlist of pics to be included - but it isn't usually a short shortlist...(my current book's shortlist is 500+ and I would imagine my books usually end up with somewhere between 300 - 400 pics
So the maximum 100 pages is usually filled with quite a lot of unplaced pics left. I then whittle down the placed pics to make room for the best of the unplaced... it's a long way from efficient
It would help if there was a way, once having edited out a few placed photos, if the same number of unplaced photos then auto filled in the empty spaces.. I haven't found a way to do that.
If anybody knows a way for me to proceed OTHER THAN the alternative which I do know which is to be more selective in the first place so I start each book with a lower number - if thats what I have to do, so be it but if there was another way.....

FWIW I create a new, separate library for each book. I assemble the photos to be used in to an album in the main library and then copy it to the book library with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager.
When I'm done with the book and it's ordered I cull out the photos I didn't use in the book and then archive the book library to another HD, a CD or DVD disk (if small enough to fit). This way the book is isolated from the day to day use of my main library and any accidental deletions of photos in the book. If I want to reorder a copy, edited or not, I know the book is intact.

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?

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

There are numerous posts on the forum with the same issue. It seems it is an issue at Apple's end, but I have not seen any Info from Apple.

How do i recover a iphoto book i was making that suddenly disappeared

how do i recover a iphoto book i was making that suddenly disappeared

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by suddenly disappeared? Did you have an iPhoto crash? Did the book disappear while you were working on it? Describe what you were doing when it disappeared.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

HT201170 Force quit iPhoto while making a photo book

I had to force quit iPhoto while I was making a photo book. The photo book is still there but the photos I recently added (after laboriously scanning them in) are no longer viewable in the side bar with all the project photos. They are also gone from my iPhoto library. When I view each photo page individually the 'missing photos' are still on the pages yet when I view 'all pages' they are not there. Worried if I go to purchase, they won;t be on the pages at all.

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?

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 can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
anybody has an idea?

Stephan:
If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
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.
