IPhoto 11 cannot order calendar/freeze on account preferences

I am using iPhoto 11 on a Mac Notebook.
Every year, my husband creates and orders a calendar through iPhoto. This year, we upgraded to iPhoto 11 and we were not able to place an order. The order pages were blank. We went to the iPhotos>Preferences>Accounts tab. Our apple ID is not there. What is there are 2 old account names I have not used in years.
So here's the problem: I would like to delete those accounts and put in the latest account info, but every time I go to the account page, it freezes. The first ID listed is I guess a MobileMe account, and the screen shows "iDisk Usage" and I just get spinning cursor of death.
Is there ANY way to delete these accounts so that I can order things using iPhoto again?

Replying to myself....
Anyway for those of you who where having problems with randomizing photos during/before export (as I was when stumbled upon this thread), I came across an solution that worked for me.
First I selected the photos from the album I had created, and exported them as original jpgs.
Then I used this terminal script to randomly generate file names:
for i in *.jpg; do mv $i $RANDOM.jpg; done
Further instructions here
Then, in order not to have duplicate versions of the photos in my iPhoto library, I created a new library, and imported the photos, with random names.
Made an album, that sorts the photos by filename.
Made an slideshow from that album (sorted by file name).
Exported to QT (or whatever).
Deleted the new temporary iPhoto library.
Hope this helps.

Please help! iPhoto - Cannot Create Calendar - "No Available Themes"

I recently had to reinstall my system software from the Install DVD after my new MacBook got into a perpetual restart loop. As part of the system installation I opted to keep my old system in the "Previous System" archive. I then copied my old iPhoto library into my new system, which worked fine to keep all my photos. However I can no longer create a calendar or print book.
When I click on the Calendar or a Photo Book the following error message appears: "No Available Themes. There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."
I have searched but cannot locate any files that would seem to constitute the iPhoto print product themes. I have tried updating iPhoto from the .pkg on Apple Donwloads, but with no success. I have tried using the Application Install DVD which I got with the MacBook but for some reason iPhoto is greyed out in the Customise Installation list, as if unavailable for direct installation.
Would someone be able to help me as soon as possible with the following:
- Where should the calendar/print book themes be kept?
- Does anyone have a source for me to download (for iPhoto 7.1.5)
- Do I need to uninstall iPhoto, and if so how do I do this?
- If I do uninstall iPhoto will I lose precious items such as photos, event details, etc.? And how would I reinstall it given it is greyed out on the Applications Install disk?
- I have seen a reference here to 'deleting receipts' but I would need instructions on what to do if this is the solution.
Thanks in advance for your help.

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.

Cannot Import Calendar To Exchange Account

I have a clean Office 365 account and have exported an existing Calendar as an ics file but when I try to import it to Exchange, it warns about changing some information headings, then complains about overlapping and recurring events (Unless its counting all-day events I don't think there are any overlaps left, I tried to remove them all) then it hangs and imports nothing.
Any ideas?

Wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same problem. Had to go back to Outlook which feels ancient. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

Could not load iCloud preference pane and could not load internet accounts preference pane

after a recent not so succesful time machine restore, and after turning internal hard drive and ssd on my macbook pro late 2008 into a fusion drive, I get these error messages in the system preference : could not load iCloud preference pane and could not load internet accounts preference pane. I noted that Mail, Calendar, notes etc all sync to my various device, but on my mac, I can't access the accounts feature. Can anyone help me resolve this issue ? I searched all over the net with no success...
cheers !

iMac (Processor 3.2GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 3TB HD) Running Mavericks (10.9.4), I have the exact same problem. Local Apple Store unable to help. Turned to my AppleCare Program. They say their techs have never come across this issue this was what was done:
Have downloaded & new copy of OS X = same issue.
Deleted OS X Reinstalled OS X on blank drive - restored all my data from backup = now have no MS Office, no Adobe Photoshop Elements, no iWeb, no Parallels, no VMWare, no iPhoto in fact, nothing of "my" machine. (but problem is still there)
Advised to do an "Internet Restore" from good Backup (over 24 hours to complete); when complete, machine restarts = a circle with a cross diagonally through it and the spinning wheel. (It goes no further no matter how many times you reboot)
Now on my own, booted using "Command + R" to start in Recovery mode. Changed all permissions in Disk Utility. Rebooted. = my machine is back - all data intact and all programs there & working BUT problem persists.
I have now turned to Communities. Followed everything people said worked for them but in my case, after a reboot, I still cannot load iCloud OR Internet Accounts Preferences panes!!
If I add a calendar item on my iMac it will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone. If I add a calendar item on either my iPhone or my iPad that item will sync with the other device but will not sync to my iMac. The same is true for Contacts as well. Extremely annoying to have to type it in all the time. This is Apple for heavens sake and therefore it should work!!

I cannot order a calendar in iPhoto '09 (8.1.2)

I have tried ordering a calendar on iPhoto _09 version 8.1.2 and when i click order calendar i get two options 1) Cancel or 2) Set up an account. I already have an account and cancel definitely won't work so i click set up an account and enter my Apple account credentials which i have had for years and the next screen is 1 of 3 "create Apple ID" but all the information is prefilled with my previously entered apple ID info. Thats it i cannot go any further. Any ideas?

Go to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and delete and re-enter all of your information including billing information and be sure express check out is set

I cannot order photo prints from iphoto.
Are you trying to print from iPhoto on your Mac or iPad/iPhone? If you are trying to print form yor Mac, check, if the Print Products Store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced is set to U.K.
Also the bimmling address, Delivery address, the country for your AppleID and Credit Card must all be in the same country. Check this document:

Ordering Calendars for delivery in different countries? Live in the UK and want to order a calendar for printing/delivery in Canada. However - can't change the default country -even changed the address in my Apple Account, no result. Any suggestions?

Ordering Calendars for delivery in different countries? Live in the UK and want to order a calendar for printing/delivery in Canada. However - can't change the default country -even changed the address in my Apple Account, no result. Any suggestions?

The general rule is that the shipping address must be in the same country as the billing address of the credit card used to order. However, you can try changing the Print Products store in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to Canada and try ordering again.

HT204053 cannot sync calendar on my new ipad mini. my mac and macbook use a .me account for iCloud. How can I change this?

I cannot sync calendar on new ipad mini. My mac desktop and mac book have an old .me icloud account name. Cannot change that so how do I sync?

If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe. The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however. If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

A bug in Mavericks. When I open Calendar, I get a message "Moving calendars to server account." Calendar freezes and this message goes on interminably. The only way to stop it is to restart.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HT2731 how can i sync my Apple ID to my iTunes sign-in? I have an old ID showing up in my iTunes sign-in window and cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the old password to the old ID in order to "manage" my account.

how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window? An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help. Thanks.

Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

Can i change the order of my icloud accounts in the calendar app

I have several icloud calendar accounts and they are not in the order I would prefer. Can that order be changed?

I think you can just drag them up and down in the list, the same way you re-order calendars. I only have one iCloud account, but I also have a Google account with one calendar on it and I can reorder this so it appears either above or below my iCloud acount.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars, the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

Go to
Settings,
General,
Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
Hope this helps.
