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

.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 on my iPad. When I go to order it, it says that "Your Book contains Empty Photo Frames" but when I check each page, they all have photos. How to I order the book?

I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad. When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames. What do I need to do to order this book??????
Thanks so much for any help offered!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

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.

What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library?

The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file. A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5 x 5 photo at 180 DPI. This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.
So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

Quality of photo when creating a photo book from iphoto

i am in the process of creating a photo book however i am downloading pictures from facebook and i am not sure if the qulaity will be good enough for print, will i be told during this process as i havent been yet and dont want to pay for something that isnt right. thanks

There is another potential issue. While you may have enough pixels, the plain fact is that not all pixels are the same. When a photo is uploaded to Facebook they 'process' it - and in the course of that throw away about 90% of the data in the file. What that means is that a lot of the character and depth of the photo may be lost when printed. Unfortunately, this is not something that iPhoto can warn you about.

I am creating a Photo Book on iPhoto, when I previewed it, it appears a black strip on the border of each page, how can I solve this?

'm doing a photo book in iPhoto, when I do a preview I get an edge on the outside border of each sheet. The edge is small, and seems to be a repeatition of the cover page. I did a preview in PDF and then appears as a black or white line. Can anyone help?

The photos is the book tray are sorted by date. So to get them in the order you want you need to do this;
1 - group them in an album and manually sort in the order you want.
2 - select all and go to the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option.
3 - select a 1 minute time differential between photos and click OK.
4- add the photos to a book and they will be in the order you need.

When creating a photo book in iPhoto, is it possible to move completed pages to a new book?

I have worked all day on a photo book, used up the allotted 100 pages, and still have more photos I want to use. I am going to create a "Volume 2" but am wondering, in order to make the two volumes comparable in page quantity, can I move some of my completed pages from Volume 1 to a second volume? How?

Start the volume 2 as a copy of the first book.
Ctrl-click the first book and select "Duplicate". That will craete an exact copy the first volume.
Now delete the pages that you want to move to the second volume from the first volume and the pages that you want to remain in the first volume fronm the second.

Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photo book in iphoto?

Is it possible to create a custom photo layout when creating a photobook in iphoto? How about adding text boxes?

Yes and no
You can not make a custom template nor can you modify one
You can do a page in other software and then print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto option and place the resulting image as a full page photo - See Old Toad's tutorial No.19 for more information.

Can't create photo book in iPhoto 9.6 (910.29)

I am trying to create a photo book in iPhoto. I have created books in the past but well over a year ago so I don't know when the issue could have started. When I click on create, seemly nothing happens however when I quit iPhoto and start it up again, I find a copy of the photo book in my albums list rather than under projects. It does not behave like a photo book as I can't edit it and the display is different. I can't even open old photo books. I have tried countless things to try to make it work including: renaming my iPhoto library and then reinstalling iPhoto. With the new library created by reinstalling iPhoto, I am able to create a Photo Book. But when I switch to my old library (45, 000+ pictures and many years of my life), it again won't create a photo book. Well my library may be corrupted, but when I rebuild it, repair it, etc. there is no change in the behaviour of iPhoto.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem. Many Thanks.
Using a iMac and OS 10.10

Then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database. Repeat with Option #1 if necessary.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How does iPhoto sort when creating a photo book

My problem. When I create a photo book in iPhoto, it sorts in random. I have by date selected, and I need the pictures to flow based on the date.
Where am I missing it?

You can not - they are soreted by date
-- the only solution I have seen is to put them in an album sorted the way you and and then use the batch cnage command to redate them with a small invrement between so a data sort matches your desired sort -- I personally do not want to redate a bunch of my photos nor do i want to have to go through and un-re- date a bunch
suggest a change to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Photo book with iPhoto on iPad?

Hello is it possible to create a photo book with iPhoto on iPad? (Like with iPhoto on minimac)
Reg ratouns84

Nope.
The closest Apple app for that is Cards.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Unless you can set the Time Capsule's drive to have it's ownership ignored
you won't be able to use the library on the same volume as the Time Machine backups.
