IPhoto '08 Won't let me order book

Hey guys-
I'm trying to create a book in iPhoto '08. The book is made, no gray fields for photos, anything. When I click on the "buy book" button, it gives me an error message saying that al of the fields are not filed in an thus cannot order a book, however when I create a book without anything in it, it goes through to the order page just fine. Any help with this? Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks!!!!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
If you do not have a missing photo (you state that the error "missing field" - is this correct?) then you probably have a text field with nothing in it - every text field on the cover , inside cover and on page layouts has to have something in it - even if it is only a single space
If the message is re photos then read this discussion.

Ordering books-iphoto 08 won't let me buy books i made in previous versions

help! i just upgraded last night to iphoto08, but tried to order books i'd made in previous versions today and i'm getting the message that "item is not available" or something to that effect. the books show up as i made them, but i can't order hard copies. do i have to recreate the books? or is there something i can do?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I had a book, the Storybook theme, in progress when I converted. iPhoto gave me a warning that the theme was no longer available but I could continue with the as long as I didn't try changing to another theme and then change back. However, that theme had the dust jacket feature instead of the photo on the front cover.
If you still have or have access to iPhoto 6 you could create a new library and recreate the book with that theme and see if you can order it. I'm thinking of trying the same thing.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto 11 won't let me buy book due to unplaced photos, but they are there!

I have created many photo books in both iPhoto and Aperture and this has not happened before. I click on the Buy Book button and it says I have unplaced photos and takes me to a page that clearly has all the photos placed. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You are missing one or more photos - usually on a page requireing a full page photo that is behind places photos - every page must have either a photo or a colored background - if you have any grey backgrounds thoses are problems - in several years I've never seen that error be incorrect

IPhoto Book...won't let me order!!

I'm trying to buy a book I made...get the message that there is an empty frame that needs to be filled or change layout. I have checked and rechecked...there is no empty frame! What do I do? It won't let me order the book with this block...

Empty frame ?? Photo or text??
FOr a missing photo the situation almost laways is a full page photo hidden behind another full page photo - you will hav eto go through your book and check full page photo to see if there is a background photo missing behind it - then
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.
and order

I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?

I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

My ipad1 won't let me download books,apps or even update apps, it says delete pictures

My ipad1 won't let me download books,apps or even update apps, it says delete pictures & videos to make room for downloads but I do not have on my iPad pictures or video & I barley have any extra apps!!

The operating system takes up about 2GB, so that's why your 16 GB iPad has 14 GB capacity. And if you only have 687mbs left, it means you don't have much space left to add to your iPad. Do you have lot's of videos/Books/Music/Apps/Pictures on your iPad. If you do and you want to add more, you're going to have to delete things before you can add more.

Won't let me copy books to a nook.

I have two nooks. One ADE sees and will let me copy books to. The other one it sees, but won't let me copy books to. I've deleted the manifest file multiple times. I've re-installed ADE. What next?

I do burn discs with nero and when I do that it is closed and you can't add more later.
It seems Nero can do this trick but after the second time Bridge recognizes it as a locked read only device.
Personally I would switch to a USB stick which is much faster and easier to use.

Iphoto says I have the wrong address and won't let me order the book. What is the problem?

Why doesn't iphoto let me order the book I composed? They say I have the wrong address yet it is my address.

What Print Products Store do you have iPhoto linked to in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane?
Is it the correct one for where you address is?

Iphoto albums won't sync in order on iPad

Since iOS6 came out I haven't been able to sync photo albums made in iphoto with my ipad. I have the photo albums sorted by title in iphoto and before they would sync over to my ipad in that correct order, but now when I try to sync them over they appear in a completely different order. So I was just wondering how I can get albums from iphoto to sync in the correct order on my ipad?

I have asked this same question numerous times at the Apple store and have not received an answer. I worked with an Apple rep via phone for 2 hours who said I needed to wipe the (new) iPad clean and re-set up the iPad as new, with the photos and then the issue would be resolved. Not! I still have the same problem. Events on my Mac are in date order (as the events are labeled in iPhoto) from most current to oldest. You can imagine without the events being in order how difficult it is to find a particular event (no less a single photo) in over 14,000 photos.
By accident I did discover that the events are in chronologic order in the wall paper setting on the iPad so it is possible for this to occur on the iPad but not in iPhoto on the iPad?!?!?
Has ANYONE found a solution to this?

Incomplete book message won't let me order 2nd copy of iPhoto book

I have been trying to BUY a 2nd copy of a 90 pg photo book but message says it is INCOMPLETE & I must "drag a photo to place in background" which I already completed perfectly for the 1st book (and received it).
I have redone the pages in question over & over but nothing is accepted...what could be problem? Don't want to spend another month starting a new book over again.

what ever
It would be a lot easier to go though each page of the book and verify tha tthe page background is a color rahter that a missing photo - what you do is up to you
Well that indicates that there is a photo missing
have you deleted any photos from iPhoto or tided up your disk since you ordered?
Go thorough the book carefully and verify that all photo frames are filled in - the most common cause of this error- is a page background out requiring a photo with the missing photo hidden behind a layout that includes photos that are there

IPhoto 6-won't let me buy a book!

So I decided to make a book as a suprise to the grandparents this year...finally collated all of the pictures, did the layout...clicked 'buy'
it gives me the warning that I have some lo-res photos...I know this & understand & don't care, I still want them in the book the way I laid it out...so I click 'ok' to the "One or more photos in your book may print at too low a quality based on the design you have chosen. Do you want to continue?" prompt...
at which point NOTHING happens....I quit, I restart...nada...bupkis...same thing
anyone else seen this? any ideas on where to go from here?
TIA

Michael:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not the low res issues that's preventing the process from going further. It seems to be an issue with the application. First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. See if that will help.
If you have another account you can log into it, create a test book with a couple of images and see if you can start the purchase procedure over there (you can abort the process as soon as you get to the order window). If it doesn't work there then it's probably a problem with the application and you'll need to reinstall it. as follows:
>Reinstall iPhoto, update to 6.0.4 and then again to 6.0.5 ( the 6.0.5 updater works only 6.0.4). The repair disk permissions again. I'd make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file inside your library folder just in case. It will get you back to your current situation in the library in case of any problems. If you have room a temp copy of the entire iPhoto Library folder would be a good idea also. You don't want to jeopardize the work you've put into the book.
If you do try a reinstall of iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If it work in the other account then there's an incompatibility in your primary account and you'll need to do some more troubleshooting. Give the above a try and post back.

IPhoto 08 won't let me buy a book

I keep getting a message telling me that there are frames without photos, even though all frames and text boxes are full. Help - I need to order asap for Xmas.

I am having the same problem and now my book is all horked after trying desperately to get it to work. I thought Mac software "just worked"... anyone have an answer here? I would hate like **** to take my photos to FlickR and have to create another book.

It won't let me Buy Book.

Dear Forum,
I have a photo book to purchase in iPhoto 09. When I go to Buy Book, it shows me the Low Quality message which is normal, but when I click OK, it just stops there. Now I recently installed Snow Leopard and I haven't purchased a book since. Any suggestions.

I can not purchase a book as well. Computer keeps saying my account has been changed and I need to confirm it before buying. I keep doing what I think is confirming my account, then I order the book all over again and the cycle begins again. Would like to solve this quickly as this is a Christmas gift.

In iPHOTO it won't let me "choose any of the original pictures to include in an email or even copy and paste them else where? Why ?

In iPHOTO I can highlight a photo to include in an email, but after I select the a photo, the "choose" box will not darken to let me choose that photo or any of my original photos to put them in an email or even to copy and paste them else where.
The only changes I have done is the original photos were taken with a different digital camera from the one I use currently. The newer digital cameras photos can be selected and emailed just fine. What is not being recognized by the iPHOTO programing as to not let me select (choose) to older photos taken by the older original digital camera?

Thanks for the response to my query on emailing photos from iPHOTO. To answer your questions:
1. When I first connected my new digital camera to my iMAC and installed it's program from it disk, all went well and that program with Icons are currently on my desk top. When I down loaded pictures from this new camera into iPHOTO, I was asked if all pictures from this camera were to be down loaded into iPHOTO only, I answered yes.
2. I did nothing to the photos in iPHOTO, they are my original pictures setup in various groups and are not thumbnail copies of the originals.
3. And yes, I have tried to attach photos from iPHOTO directly into an email message in both Apple's MAIL program and even through my AOL service provider account to no avail. I get the same issues of not being able to choose older pictures for insertion in an email message, only newer pictures taken with the new camera.
4. I have even gone back into my external back files and restored older versions of iPHOTO and the same thing happens.
5. I have even thought of uninstalling the unused new camera's desk top files, but since there is nothing in these files and both my new and older cameras are Canon models, I can see no issues for removing the new camera files?
I hope this extra detail is lear to you and again tell for your assistants.
