I was working on an iPhoto book and I lost most all of my work. Can I restore to earlier today when it had 58 pages of written word and beautiful layout of photos?

Please help! I spent countless hours working on an extremely important (major) project, and now it is GONE!
In iphoto, I have made many books before, this has never happened. I had a project with more writing than I'd ever had before; along with 56 (or 58, I am not certain, but one of those numbers) total pages. I'd made a slideshow, added a song to it. Was about to just go back, change the song, then export it and burn to disc. Sadly,when I opened the project, a mere 6 hours or so after last working on it, suddenly, most all of the work was GONE. Was down to 22 pages, and a version from 5 days ago.
Can anyone help???
This was a very special project that involved a lot of research, cut, paste, edit, redesign, new creative work, and a lot of "blood, sweat, and tears," as they say.

Restore your latest backup of the iPhoto library from before you deleted the photos

I'm am assuming you are using a windows PC. If so these steps may help you tremendously. Step 5 is usually the culprit.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

Creating iphoto book and can't seem to view/ work on only one page at a time.

I am creating an iPhoto book and can't seem to view/work on only one page at a time. The Navigator, that allows you to focus on a part of the page is actually 1 1/2 pages in size so 1 1/2 pages are in view when trying to work on one page. What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this. It is very distracting viewing half of a previous page when trying to create a new page and write a story to go with the related pictures.

My Navigator seems to be to large. It covers 1 1/2 pages while in the training information it shows as the size of one page. Is there a way to adjust the size of the Navigator?
You can hover the mouse over the left border of the Navigator - then the cursor will turn into a resize cursor and you can drag the border and make the Navigator panel smaller by enlarging the source list.
Or drag the lower right corner of the iPhoto window and shrink the appliaction window. This will only make the navigator smaller - the source list and information panel will stay the same size.

When I was ready to place the order for my iPhoto book, I realized that it was for a soft cover book and I wanted hard cover. How can I change this without losing my prepared book?

Duplicate your book and try to change the theme in the copy. Chnaging the theme may change the layout of your text fileds. That is why you need the copy to be able to compare the pages before and after.
Ctrl-click the book in the Source list and select "Duplicate".
Click the "Change Theme" button in the upper right corner of the Book pane, make sure, you have the same theme selected and the same size. Click Hardcover.

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder.

I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder. renamed the photos starting with 1 and ending 262. thinking that would save the photos in order. Each time I try to export them that are placed in original folder names and descriptions need help.

This is a two part process. First we title the photos, then we export them, using the title as filename.
To title them
Once you have then in the order you want select them all and go
Photos -> Batch Change. Select set 'Title' to 'Text'
Choose a Title -> Graduation 2013 or whatever, then check the box at 'Append number to each photo.
Now, in the Album all your photos are named... Graduation 001, 002, 003 etc
Next Export them:
File -> Export, and in the Name option, choose 'Title as Filename' and complete the export.

I hit vertical text in my iPhoto Book and now I can't change it back, help!!

I am creating an iPhoto Book, and wanted some vertical text, so I highlighted my text and selected "vertical". It didn't go vertical, but now any time I highlight any text I can't see it, and I can't change the setting back, nor can I find any help anywhere on this topic. Please help!!

This may have helped iTunes (it can see the iPhoto library - not sure if it could before, hadn't tested it). iMovie still doesn't see the library though. Instead, it sees a library on the internal disk with nothing in it -- there's actually no library there. iMovie shows the external disk, but does not show an iPhoto library on it.
Thanks for your reply!

Trying to create a book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time. how can i set the sorting

trying to create an Aperture book and have sorted 900 photos in manual order...the book application resorts my photos and i have to search 900 photos each time to place a photo. how can i set the sorting to stay in my manual setup?

1. If you manually sort Images in a Project, and then create a new Book w. "Include selected Images" checked, your manual sort order will be preserved.
2. As a workaround for when you have already created a Book, batch rename your Images with a leading index or counter after setting the order manually. You'll have to create a Naming Preset, e.g.: "{Index}_{Version Name}". The renaming should go in the order that you selected the Images, so be sure to select the first one first, and then use "Edit→Select all" to extend the selection to all Images. Once the Images are in your Book, a sort on Version Name should be the same as the manual sort you created.
3. At the risk of stating the obvious, you could create the Book, import the Images, and then sort them. The Book -- it is, to Aperture, just a special kind of Album -- retains its own manual sort order. I recommend using Albums this way. Use Projects to cull and develop Images, and use Albums for output. Sorting for a Book (or any output) is better done in the container devoted to that output (and not in the Project, which is more general).

I've created an iphoto book and have ordered through "buy book" option. Now my family would like to order more, can they order and pay for the book using their apple ID?
