IPhoto '08 - cant compile book?

so I got my hardbound book altogether and ready to order, click 'buy' where it complies the book, and I get this error message
* -[NSPlaceholderMutableString initWithString:]: nil argument
done, nothing else happens. Do I need to make another book?
yikes

I recommend you use layouts that do not have text boxes.
This is easier than searching through your book and entering a space every where a text box appears. Also, in some layouts, you'll find that once you eliminate the text box, there is a little more space for your photograph(s)--which means they'll be slightly larger on the page.

Cant upload book from iphoto

Set up book. The program then started the process. When it got to upload part it froze my computer. No progress on the progress bar. I have a cable modem and great upload and download speed. When I tried to exit program my iMac froze and wouldnt allow force quit. Nothing worked. I unpluged the computer and started all over--same result.

First create a PDF copy of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it and proof the contents before ordering.
Save the PDF file to compare with the printed version when you receive it.
Next boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and order the book while in Safe Mode.
Are you ordering an XL sized book? iPhoto is know to have problems with that size. If you can't get the XL sized book ordered in Safe Mode you'll have to change the size Large. Here's how:
1 - Control-click on the book in the left hand pane and select Duplicate from the contextual menu.
2 - carefully check all text boxes and photos to make sure all is as you want it.
3 - create the PDF file before ordering.
4 - if unsuccessful boot into Safe Mode and continue as described above.

How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

Depends on exactly what you want to transfer:
The Original files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Original) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
The Edited files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Jpeg or tiff, note the options for adding metadata to the export) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
Both and all the Metadata: Link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.

IPhoto: solution when "buy book" generates an error.

Hello all,
I thought I post this. Maybe this will help others who face the same problem.
I created a book in iPhoto. After clicking the "Buy Book" button, I received the message:
     <i>There was a problem contacting the Apple online store. Please try again.</i>
I searched the internet and found several other people having the same problem.
Several solutions were also given like:
     1. Temporarily tun of the firewall
     2. Be sure the select, in Preferences in iPhoto under Advanced the book store that matches the country of your Apple ID
     3. Be sure to have the correct and valid credit card data entered in your Apple ID
     4. Be sure the password of your Apple ID is correct
     5. Go to iTunes, "purchase" a free App and if you are prompted to accept Apples policy, do so and try again to buy your book
     6. Apple online store may be down or to busy, try again on a different time.
However, none of these solutions worked for me.
After digging further I finally found the solution (at least for me).
If you have ever made, in System Preferences => Language and Text, under Formats any change, than "Region" will show "Customized" instead of your country. I live in the Netherlands, the default for short date is to show years in two digits. I changed this once (in the past) to show dates with four digits years.
Resetting "Region" to match the country of your Apple ID did the trick.
I was then able to order my book in iPhoto.
Kind regards,
emeu1

Phonebooth is in your home folder under pictures with Iphoto and Ichat. Deleting pigtures from phonebooth should not remove any from Iphoto library. Something else had to happen.

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

A poor Roman husband trying to print abirthday gift...

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book. If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

How do i change cover photo in iPhoto when creating a book. I have tried everything

how do I change cover photo in iPhoto when creating a book? I have tried everything. Mirage 388

I have just finished one and changed the cover photo the same way I did on any page. Bring up the page, right click on it and then click on Remove Photo. Then just drag the photo you want into the empty space. You have to have the phot sidebar up on the right side to do this. Hope this helps

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process. Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

How can i turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

I am wondering how I can turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

No - you can make a book from the same photos but not form the slide show - smiply elect the same photos (probably in the album you made the slide show from) and make a new book from them

When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?

Hi,
I like iPhoto for its features and ease of use; however, I'm unclear on its privacy policy.
When using iPhoto to buy photo books, is Apple going to take ownership of my photographic material?
Can Apple use my pictures to advertise Apple products or services?
I've asked these questions twice to the apple privacy postmaster, but they only reply with a boiler plate of links to get further support or they simply ignore my email. Should I assume the worse?
I like iPhoto, but I'm not going to use it if I don't know that my privacy is satisfactorily safeguarded.
Thank you for any insight
Gabriele
