I Photo Books

I have tried all the different book templates in I Photo Version 5 and none will allow me to add an extra page of text only. Is there a way to do this? HOPEFULLY. Can't imagine why there wouldn't be a text only option for a page? I"m in the middle of a project and the text wonn't all fit into one of those little text boses.
If not, does anyone know of software which will provide a more flexible option in creating a book with photos?

Vernise:
There's an easy way to create your text page in the text editor of your choice, in landscape or portrait mode, and then start a print job. In the Print window click on the PDF button and use the Send PDF to iPhoto. That will give you a jpg file of each page of text in iPhoto to use in the page layout. Here are two very, quick and rough examples of what you can do: Example 1 - Example 2. With the right text editor you can create a much nicer text page I'm sure.
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.

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

Photo book shipped to wrong address...

Hi All: I recently ordered 2 photo books through iPhoto, cost about $120, but they were shipped to the wrong address. I live in NY and they were sent to CA. I called FedEX to complain, but it turns out that Apple put the wrong address on the package. Has anyone else had/heard-of this happening? I'm now waiting for my email from iPhoto support to hear how they will fix this problem, but was curious as to whether or not other occurrences were easily and quickly rectified. Thanks for any info.

Dave:
Report that to Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. They have been very good at correcting problems like that.

Page numbers in a photo book / keepsake

Can anyone tell me how i can get page numbers to display in a photo book? In the help section it says that i can go to settings and turn this function on, however, I don't have that option in there. I need it to make a slideshow preview for others involved to review pages and make suggestions to layouts. They need to be able to quote the page number that needs adjusting.

The page number setting it the bottom check box in the settings menu - if it is checked and you do not have page numbers displayed on your pages then they are not available with the theme/layout you have chosen
See Liz Castro's web page for samples of each theme and the layouts for each theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Travel - I'm not sure she specifically addresses page numbers

My iPad isn't syncing properly - It says it is syncing but then none of my new music, photos, books, or podcasts have been added!

This is getting really annoying as syncing my iPad 1 now take forever. It says it is syncing and goes through all the motions, and it does sync my apps,
but none of my musi, photos, books or podcasts, even though it's only half full so it has plenty of space. What I do at the moment is use "autofill" to add the music and podcasts and then I drag the new books from my iTunes library to my iPad in Itunes (I have a PC, by the way), but I still haven't found a slution for my photos - at present it's supposed to add all the photos in one of my folders on the computer, but it hasn't added the new ones in a long while.
I suspect this might have started when I added iOS 5, but I'm not 100% sure. Another thing I had lots of difficulty with earlier is that the music I synced was all greyed out and couldn't be played, but I solved that by choosing "manually manage music and videos" in Options. This might be why it's not syncing properly, but last time I tried reverting that it just greyed out my music again! What do I do?
Oh, one last thing - the music and books I'm adding at the moment aren't purchased from the Itunes stores, if that helps. Just the podcasts, and they seem to eventually add themselves after the sync.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Hey orangesarecool
Enable Manually manage music and videos and then drag and drop the songs that you want on there. Toggle it back to see if it changes.

IPhoto 7.1.5 on 10.6.8 Trying to Buy a Photo book

Hi,
I have been reading other discussion threads and I can't find exactly my question. I have iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 on Mac OS X version 10.6.8. Everything was fine until I got the iPhone 5 and needed to update iTunes. I found I needed to update to at least Snow Leopard, so I did that and figured everything was fine now. That was until I made a photo book and tried to purchase it. Unfortunately, I got the following error message: We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.
So, I have read a few posts that say I need to buy iLife, but I would never use any of the apps except iPhoto, so I would like to save myself the money of buying things I won't need. I also did a search and it looks like I can download a bunch of updates here: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iphoto
My question is, can I go update by update on this site without ruining my current iphoto events and projects? I have about 15,00 items in 243 events and I would hate for them all to get ruined.
Thank you so much for any help! I am desperate and would love my photo book.

It isn't possible to get a version of iPhoto which is new enough just through the downloadable updaters. You need to either buy an iLife DVD or upgrade the computer to Mavericks and get the Mac App Store version.

Follow up on photo book quetion

--When I then try to use these smaller photos in the photo book, I get the yellow warning that the photo "may print at too low quality". This is what concerns me.

Hello Shelly,
That behavior is described in the iPhoto help menu here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6314.html.
Review that link and it's suggestions as they may be of some assistance.
Basically that warning means the image you are using is low resolution. You really should not get that warning unless you are using relatively small images (like imports from a web site). Images imported from a camera should not give you that warning unless you have edited them (like cropping).
Hope that helps.

IPhoto crashes when trying to open a large photo book

My wife has been working for days assembling a large (90+ pages) photo book. Now when we go into iPhoto and try to open up the book she's been working o, iPhoto crashes. I can open other photo books we've made, just not that one.

back up and rebuild your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three options
Just tried rebuilding the thumbnails like you suggested and still no luck.
If you used the first three options you rebuilt the entire library - not just the thumbnails - did you select all three or did you select only rebuild thumbnails?
You need to rebuild the library - not just the thumbnails

Can I send a link to a photo book so family members can choose to order a copy from Apple?

I woud like to share the photo book that I created so that family members in other states can consider purchasing a copy from I Photo. Is there a way they can view it?

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.
you can share the PDF via drobbok or other file sharing service

How can i create a photo book from 2 libraries easily?

This is my situation.
I want to create a photo album of my child for the past year for parents/grandparents etc from the photos on mine AND my wifes macbooks. Before iphoto 9.5 i would simply look at her shared library from my iPhoto and use hers and my photos to make a book.
Now there is no shared library in 9.5, so after doing my homework on how apple wants us to do this now, I started a shared iCloud photostream ('kid' 2013) and invited my wife to it. I started adding photos from my library, and she did the same. All good i thought, but no. Becasue the photo stream only sorts by 'date added' not date taken, and in fact I cannot even see the date the photo was taken in the photostream, it means making a chronological photo book from both our photo libraries has now been made impossible.
Anybody got any other ways to do this?

Create an album, and then select all photos in the Shared Photo Sream and add them to the album. In the album you can see the dates of the photos in the Info panel. Then sort your album by date, and create the Photo Book from the album, not directly from the shared stream.

How can I publish a photo book using an iPad

Can someone walk me through publishing a hard back photo book using an iPad .I have iPhoto app installed

I don't believe you can create and publish a book directly from the iPhoto for iOS app. You can create a journal which can be published to iCloud, but that's the only sharing feature I can find. There may be third-party software that can do this; the HP Photobook App has been mentioned, but I know nothing about it. Otherwise, if you want to create a book, I think you'll have to transfer your photos to a computer and use software there (iPhoto for Mac OS X, if you have a Mac).
Regards.

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together. How can i do this?

You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

How do you put text into a photo book?

I am new to Photoshop Elements, using Elements 11, and my first project is to make a photo book for a recent trip. I have figured out importing the pictures and titles. I want to include a 3000 word story on 3 or 4 pages. I have spent hours trying to do this. I thought I would be able to easily copy and paste from Word but that isn't working for me. I have retyping the whole thing in "Your Text Here". I can't seem to make it work. Pane sizing is an issue. Editing after I have typed several paragraphs. I am about to give up. I can't locate any tutorials etc on how to do this. I bought Elements 11 for Dummys and they might as well have skipped photo books. It was useless. Can someone give me some guidance please?

Try creating a new page template in expert mode.
File >> New >> Blank File
Select your page size height and width and background color and use 300 ppi for printing.
Then select the T tool, click top left, and copy and paste your text.
Save as jpeg and add it to your book as an image and use the bounding box to scale/re-size.
Note you may have to click inside the text area and add the carriage return as it’s not easy to justify text in elements.
I would suggest you first save as PSD that will preserve the text layer as a separate layer. You can then re-open the PSD file at any time e.g. if you decide to edit any of the text. Treat it as your master file and use it to save a fresh jpeg whenever needed.

How do you add pictures to your photo book after saving it? Can you re-save it to send to blurb?

How do you add pictures to your photo book once you have saved it? Moreover, can you save it again and send it to Blurb.

Go back to Library and drag the extra photos into the book collection.

How do you remove captions from photo books in iPhoto 9.5.1?

I wanted to see what a photo book created in iPhoto '11 looks like with my own pics so I made one the simplest way possible: picked an event, chose a format, clicked "buy book." It arrived yesterday and it's gorgeous but I want the next ones to be even better. In the "Folio" layout every page has a default copyright notice. I don't need that. Every page has the photo's name, useful stuff like "DSC_1518." I don't need that either. Is there a way to remove the entries from every caption box all at once? If I can empty all of them at once I can easily put back the entries I actually want. I can manually empty them but that's 4 captions on every one of 96 pages. Clearing one and clicking "change everywhere" doesn't do it. I don't want to remove the boxes, just the default entries in all of them.
Thanks

If you use a theme that has layouts without text boxes or themes that do not have autoload of text the text will not print even though you get a warning before ordering. Folio is the only theme that automatically puts in some text. The others just have placecard text that does not print.
You can test it by by proofing the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture.
These are two pages from the Picture Book theme of a 2 photo per page layout. One has text and the other doesn't. The text you see is placecard text and will not display when printed.
This is a screenshot of the pages in the PDF file:
No text on the second page.
