IPhoto 08 book, calendar options not available

When I select some photos and then click the Book option, I get a dialogue that asks me to select Book Type with a pull-down menu. There are three options in the menu: Harcover, Softcover, Wire-bound Softcover, but all three are greyed out. So I cannot progress any further.
If I click Calendar instead, nothing happens at all.
If I click Card, I seem to get all the options, fully functioning, as you would expect. Only problem is, I don't want a card; I want a book or calendar... Can anyone advise what I can do to get one, please?

Are you able to print a photo? Do you get any message about themes being missing? If so then:
Restoring iPhoto Themes
First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
4 - mount the system disk that came with your computer, double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
After installing reinstall the latest iPhoto updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

    Why is the iCloud option not available on my MacBook Air?  It's not under the System Preferences in the Apple dropdown...only the MobileMe options are still there.

    iCloud won't appear in System Preferences in Snow Leopard. But, you can get some of the features of iCloud working with 10.6.
    Mail AND iCal work just fine. See this article: http://bit.ly/LvVCR2
    I use the iCal info on two of my own Macs and it works fine. The Address Book hack is a maybe. Read through the comments associated with the blog entry. Some folks have gotten the AB hack to work by locking the plist file.

    problem updating to iphoto 9.6 after upgrading to Yoesmite  I am getting the following message when I try top date iPhoto This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canc

    "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
    This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
    Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
    If iPhoto  is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

  • Preview on [device name] option not available

    Preview on [device name] option not available on Folio Overlays

    In v20 its available in the Folio Builder panel (iPad only, I think). You have to plug to your Mac to the iPad with the USB cable and starting the Adobe Content Viewer app on the iPad first. Otherwise check iTunes on your Mac if your iPad is listed under "Devices".
    Are you using InDesign CS5.5 or InDesign CS6?
    You have to be up to date with the Overlay Creator panel to v20 as well. Check for that.
    Recently I had no chance with InDesign CS5 and the v20 tools installed on a Mac with OSX 10.5.8.

  • WLAN override option not available for WLC 4402 - 6.0.196.

    Hi All,
    Its kind of weird BUT it seems that the option for WLAN override is missing.u.
    I could find it on the lower version BUT not on the 6.0.196.
    Please help.
    Does this mean I could only set it up via the WCS and not the WLC directly.
    Thank you.

  • Calendar information missing, no I cloud backup, settings claims email calendar is still on, option not available in calendar app

    So this morning when I went to check my calendar for my schedule it was completely blank. I went to "calendars" at the bottom of the application & it obly had the "birthday" calendar to select, the other three were gone. I checked another way by going into settings and then email, and it claimed that the calendars were selected & up and running, but they are not available to check in the calendar app. I also do not use iCloud because I do not have the space for everything or even my calendar because my family has 8 different apple products so the free iCloud data was sucked up extremely fast. What can I do to fix this?! I'm kind of freaking out because the calendars app is pretty much my only way of knowing what time I need to be where & it's all gone!  
    Last night before I went to bed it was all there. I went on Facebook, candy crush, & the internet for an hour and a half & then preceded to go to sleep. I woke up this morning with my calendar missing.
    Someone please help?

    Hi pefd39,
    Can you please provide more information on the issue you are having synchronizing your calendar as well as any error messages so that we can assist you better?

  • "Edit photo" link in iPhoto Book Project does not work

    Hi,
    I am putting together an Book project in iPhoto.  On a few pictures, I would like to edit them to make minor adjustments. 
    When I right click on the picture in iPhoto Book Project, there is an option to "Edit Photo".
    When I click on the "Edit Photo" link, the screen switches to the iPhoto Edit page  but the picture does not load for editing - it's just a black screen.
    I can always edit the photo before placing it in the Book, but in a large Book it is more convenient to select the picture on the Book page rather than going back and look for it in iPhoto.
    Anyone has experienced/fixed this?  Is this a bug?  I have version 9.2.3
    Thanks
    Armen

    Are you able to go to the photo in its Event and edit it there? Apply the fix below:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #1 to repair permissions and #4 to rebuild the database.

  • Calendar Sharing not available error message

    Trying to share my calendar with staff at the office here. I get the error:
    Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network.
    I am using Offiice 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP1
    I can however go to the other workstation and use the "open a shared calendar" option to access my shared calendar.
    It does work on some accounts, but not the majority of accounts.
    Where do I start trouble shooting this issue? How do I check the "permission settings on my network"
    Sorry if this is an easy one, I'm a new user to exchange. This is not a full production setup yet, still testing before I let folks know what it can do.
    Thanks

    Issue description: You can’t share calendar to other people
    “Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network”
    Collect info:
    1.       Do the users you want to share belong to other forests?
    2.       Is the issue only happened on your account?
    3.       Is there any error info in the application log on the server or client if you reproduce the issue?
    Troubleshooting:
    1.       How did you grant the permission to other users, from the “Properties” of the calendar or share it in the invitation? Please check which permissions stay in the “Properties” of calendar by default
    2.       Check if DACL status is “GOOD” on your calendar by using PFDavAdmin
    a.       Launch tool on client [Install NET Framework 1.1 at first]
    b.      “File” menu->”connect”->select “mailbox” to connect->OK
    c.       Right-click your mailbox->”Folder permissions”
    d.      Check the “DACL state” on the right-up corner
    3.       Check if “automatically update e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy” option is checked
    a.       EMC->Recipient Configuration->Mailbox, go to the “Properties” of your mailbox
    b.      “E-Mail Address” tab, check the option
    4.       Please recreate your mail profile on another test PC, see if you can reproduce the issue. in this way, we can isolate the issue to server or client side
     

  • FTP option not available

    I want to upload to my server my webpage. However the FTP option is not available. The only option is the +Mobil Me+ and I don't want to use this. I have an existing website and wanted to possibly add one of the Iweb pages to it. And also I have been hired to make a site for a lady that wrote a book. I want to start putting files then later on the webhost server.
    Could some one help please.

    When you click on the website name in the site organizer over at the left inside iWeb you do not get a menu where you can choose MobileMe, FTP, or publish to a Folder?

  • Address Book Syncrhoniz​ation not available in Desktop Manager

    Hi all;
    I'm a complete noivce BB user, so apologies if this is an obvious question.
    I've synced my Bold's Address Book with my Address Book on my Mac and home and now would like to sync my work contacts through Outlook. However, when I attempt to use the Desktop Manager to do so. There is no option for the Address Book (just Calendar, Addins, tasks and memos).
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks in advance...
    Doug

    Is the Address Book option missing or grayed out? I'm not sure why you're seeing add-ins in the list. In the list with 4 checkboxes there should only be Address Book, Calendar, Memos, Tasks.

    Updating my iPhoto has always been a problem.  When I try, I get the error of: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    This is the only apple ID I have ever owned, and now that I updated my Mac with the new software, I can't even OPEN iPhoto anymore. Now I can't view any of my photos and I am not a happy camper..
