IPhoto 6.0.2 Status of book-order - HELP

When I ordered my first iPhoto book, i thought delivery would take max 5-6 working days. Well those are over.
Is there any possibility to check where the order is right now? I have read postings about the printing status - where do I check that? In iPhoto or in .Mac?
Probably I am dumb, but I can't find it. Please help.

Nowadays the postal service is not so bad, so more than 2 days seems a bit unbelievable to me.
Do you know where it was printed and shipped from? That may be the reason it's longer than your expectations. I'm not familiar with the European ordering but here is the US there's one facility in Northern California and one on the east coast. I think there's a facility in England but don't know if that would service your area.

Status of Book Order

I created a book and sent the order Sunday. The status of the order has been "printing" since that time (2 days). Is that normal? There is no FedEx tracking nr shown yet.

That seems long but I'd wait till tonight
here is a page telling about orders - http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/shipping/ - with an inquiry form at the bottom

IPhoto book order status

Where can I see my iPhoto book order status?

From the Order Status link on the Print Products Store page for your country:
For example, for the US store it is here:
Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.) Scroll down to "Order Status".
To find the corresponding page for your county, start from here:
The Apple Store - International Print Product
Or simply edit the URL for the US store and replace /us/ by the code for your own country: http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products

IPhoto book ordering status

I am currently not subscribe into .mac account. However, I got the mentioned email "[email protected]" when I was still in the 3-month trial period.
I need this for the ordering of iLife photo book ordering service. It requires me to enter a .mac email account for the ordering process.
However, since the order confirmation will be sent to that .mac account, I have no way to check the email and see if the order is confirmed.
How could I solve this? I don't see where I can change my email contact while I don't see where I can check ordering status.
Please help...

All you need is an Apple id and one click ordering turned on - go to www.apple.com==> store ==> account to set up or verify/modify your Apple account and be sure One Click is turned on

Urgent help needed with iPhoto/pdf preview for book order - mysterious pixelated areas show on PDF but not in iPhoto

Hello. I ordered an iPhoto book last week to give to my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. Tonight, I just checked on the order status and found that my book is cancelled. I received no notification about it, and all I could do was fill out the online form, so customer service will get back to me on Monday via email (if I'm lucky...). There is no telephone number for me to call about this. I decided I'd best do some searching to try to figure out what had happened.
I had thought that the preview I saw in iPhoto was the preview of the book. I found out I was wrong. So I created a PDF preview of the book and found some craziness that I don't understand. In iPhoto (and any other program, i.e. PhotoShop), my photos are fine. They are mostly TIFF format and high resolution with a few high res JPEGs. However, when I view the PDF, there is a band of black and white pixelation about 1/2-inch across the bottom of some pages - not all. The photos in that area are messed up in that band zone. The other photos are totally unaffected. This affects both TIFF and JPEG photos, and both black and white and color.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what was your solution? I would be extremely grateful to anyone for advice or information about this! The anniversary party is less than a week away and I'm beyond my limit of stress right now...

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library. Import enough photos for a book (use some of those in the current book) create a new book and preview as a PDF. If you don't see the problem then it's limited to your library which may be damaged. If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
Click to view full size
If you get the same problem in the test library then log into another user account on your Mac, create a test library and try it there. If the problem shows up there a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

If you don't encounter the problem in the other user account then it's something in your account that's the culprit. Post back with the results.

Iphoto book order cancelled - Totally dissatisfying customer service

This message to alert you that Apple might cancel your iPhoto book order for no reason !
This is what just happened to me, leaving me in a totally dissatisfying and frustrating situation, as I did everything to have this book in time for Christmas, had to go through over an hour on the helpline with Customer Services, whose agents are badly informed on the solutions that they can offer you when such mistakes happen ---
I ordered an iphoto book on December 14, in order to have it in time for Christmas.
Nothing was reported wrong or erroneous when I placed the order and uploaded the book. Two days later, Apple cancelled my order without any notification sent to me. I have only learned about it on December 21, worried that my book had not arrived yet. I checked online about my order status, which then said "order cancelled". No explanation why. I waited for Monday December 23 in order to be able to talk from someone at Customer Services. I was then told that my order had been cancelled because one picture and text was overlapping, but they could not tell me exactly which one. It was then suggested to me that I should replace the same order and call back so that they could accelerate the process.
I placed the order and sent the exact same book to Apple again and then called back. Another assistant from Customer Services advised me that there was nothing they could do in order to accelerate the printing and delivery process. All they COULD HAVE offered me was 15% discount, which the first assistant did not mention and which now was too late for me to benefit from since I had already placed the order. Also, I was told that my exact same order did not produce any issue for printing, so that the first cancellation was in fact made without any reason.
This leaves me with the following situation: Although I have placed my first order in time for it to arrive before Christmas, I end up with no Christmas present, over an hour lost on the phone with customer services, no discount, no accelerated printing or delivery process or any other gesture in order for my infuriating situation to be less so, and a photo book that will arrive in early January when I will have already left my family to work abroad again.
I am entirely dissatisfied with the quality of the Apple iphoto book service and Apple customer services. I have not obtained any help or remedy from your customer services although several mistakes had been made on their side.
You are well advised to consider alternatives before spending hours on creating an iphoto book...

Anne, that is really outragious. And I cannot understand why the support did nothing to rectify their mistake and help you to get your book printed in time.The support teams at the Print Products Stores probably will not read these these Forums, these are user-to-user discussions. So, to make Apple listen to your justified complaint, use the feedback form.

Low budget image proofing for iPhoto book order

Hello!
I want to prepare my photos the best I can for iPhoto book ordering (Christmas present for family).
I have a Dell U2711 attached to a Mac Mini running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '11 9.2.1. and a Canon Selphy CP520 dye sub printer which I thought to use as a precheck of what my JPG sRGB images would look like when printed in a book.
Here's my headache:
If I set up the monitor and calibrate the display profile as suggested in post #1 under this thread then such setup makes me color correct the photos by RADICALLY pushing the midtone slider in the levels adjustments to the left (brightening the picture). Prints that come out of the Selphy under this setup are a perfect match to what I see on the monitor and that is wonderful. However, I hesitate to order a book using such images because they appear far too bright on an iMac for example. (Perhaps I should mention that Google logo in Safari looks like its on steroids in this setup).
On the other hand, if I set up the monitor as it came from factory (PC gamma, standard preset), and use the default DELL U2711 display profile in SystemPreferences, then pictures look relatively ok on screen without any radical color correction. But prints that come out of Selphy with this setup don't match what is on the display, prints are too dark, and again I hesitate to order a book with such images.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Mato

Yes - don't try so hard and use your Mac and iPhoto - not a PC
iPhoto is designed as a consumre level program for point and shoot comeras - many people (including me) report excellent results using it that way - load sRGB photos form a digital camera and do minimal processing on them - never do major color adjustments - using iPhoto - preview rthe book -
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
Apples comments on this are here
Of the negative comments posted here nearly all of them were from people who spend lots of time and energy adjusting photos trying to second guess the printing process and failing to do so - Apple does have an unconditional sastisfaction guarentee - do it the simple way - less is more in this case

IPhoto '08 book order

Hello you good forum people!
I have ordered my book on last Monday (Feb. 18th 2008) and still haven't received it. I live in Toronto, Canada and I understand that I'm not going to get it "same day", but I was worried since I don't know how to check the status of my order. When I registered myself I didn't know I can use my primary email address which is at gmail, but instead I used my temporary .mac address. So at the end, when I placed my order I've got the message that receipt has been sent to my .mac address.
Now, this address has expired and I would have to renew it in order to be able to log into my account and see my emails, so there is no way I can get my receipt. It would be foolish to purchase .mac account just because of this, so that's not an option.
Can anyone tell me if there is any other way of checking what's the status of my order please ? I have my order number here. Oh yes, I paid 60+ dollars because I ordered hard cover version and had 46 pages inside.
Thanks in advance for any help.
S.

Thank you so much, this was super quick!
I appreciate your help, I really do!
Yes it worked great, this is what I've got:

Re: book upload fails
Nov 30, 2013 3:02 PM (in response to pablo123)
Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Happy Holidays

I've been having the same problem. For six days I have been trying to upload a book I created in iPhoto 5.0.4. After it transfers the first 128K I get an error message. The message tells me to retry. When I retry, iPhoto acts like it's completing the transfer. But the transfer happens so quickly that I know it's not really transferring the rest of the book. Then I get a message saying the order has been received. But then I get an email saying there has been a problem with the order and that they could not process my order so it has been cancelled. I have 25 of these emails in my inbox at the moment. Each one representing an attempt at uploading my book.
I did manage to get one book to upload after numerous attempts. I didn't do anything different. Now I want to get two softcover copies of the book made and I can't get it to upload.
I have tried everything - repairing permissions, running Cocktail, resetting my airport, trashing my preferences, reinstalling iPhoto, checking my fonts, rebuilding the book with smaller files - basically everything I have seen suggested on this forum. Nothing has worked.
Last September I made 3 books and had no problems uploading them. No I don't know what is going on.
It is really frustrating. I want to give these new books to my brother and sister for Christmas, but it looks like that is not going to happen now.
Thanks Apple.
