IPhoto 6 Book publishing and photo rotation problem

I've had issues making a Book where photos in the Library that have been selected for the Book have been rotated. I find that these photos seem to have a mind of theor own. When they are selected and dragged onto a book page they initially are orientated as they were originally (ie upside down for example) and then within a moment orientate themselves correctly. In fact I've had some that simply aren't oriented correctly at all and all I can do is to go back to Library and rotate them sideways to get then rihtside up in the book. I know if I double-click the photo on the book page I can manipulate the photo the way I want but it all makes me nervous send the book off for publication as I don't want to have to re-make the book later if it were to be returned to me with phots upside down etc.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so what is your suggestion or how did you resolve the issue. If you have seen this and published your book did it turn out as you expected with photos rightside up ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback on this issue.

Barry:
Does your camera have an auto rotate option on it? If so I would turn it off and do the rotation manually after it gets into iPhoto. It has to do with handling the rotate information that the camera puts in the file to let applications view it in the correct orientation without having to acutally rotate the image file. You might try exporting a rotated file to the desktop and view it in Preview. If it is correctly orientated import back into iPhoto and see if that file behaves properly. It's not a pretty workaround but may get you thru your book.

    Delete you mail account on the phone and disable to sync your mail account in the info pane in iTunes with your phone connected, same for contacts. Also deselect photo syncing in the photo pane. After the following sync, your mail, contact and photos should be gone.
    Photos inside the camera roll have to be deleted on the phone.
    Remember, that apps only can be used with the account they were bought with. If the phone will be set up with a different iTunes account, all of your apps will be removed.

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • Attempting to Import iphoto book to i-photo

    I would like to post several iphoto books to iweb.
    I am using iphoto in ilife 08.
    1. I installed ilife and i believe it imported all my photo files.
    2. I created a book.
    3. I have attempted to post the book for others to view. Each Time I hit save as Iphoto
    I belive that is saving the PDF files in I-photo as Jpeg. The dialogue box goes through the saving process pages 1-20. I get the dialogue box to name and save. When I hit save in less than 30 seconds, I get the Theapplication unexpectidly quit dialgue box.
    In attempting this over with three books over the past few days, I did find by happenstance find some files saved as JPEG in the trash. I was able to import those to iphoto and then create a web page.
    How can I get the program to work like I photo 6.
    I have 6 or 8 books to complete....
    Can I go back to Iphoto 6 ?
    Please advise.

    Bob:
    What you're experiencing is an bug that came up with iPhoto 7. It's been discussed extensively along the way. One possible fix is to make sure you have no text boxes left empty. If you have any like that just put a space in it. That fixed it for some.
    Others reported that their upgrade to Leopard corrected the problem for them. You can do a search in this forum for PDF and crash to find those topics and see if any of the other possible fixes might work for you.
    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 created 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. 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.

  • Custom page layouts for iPhoto books- bleeds and type

    I've been digging through the forum for info on creating custom page layouts. I have the basics: print PDF (to capture the page BG and graphics elements), manipulate in PhotoShop and place the custom page as a full page photo.
    How does iPhoto deal with bleeds? Since I'm trying to recreate the style of the other pages I'd like it to match.
    Is all type in an iPhoto book rasterized? The printed PDF retains type. Will rasterized type in PS layouts match "native" text in iPhoto?
    I haven't purchased a book yet and I'm wondering if the book is sent to Apple as a PDF with vector data. If that's the case can custom pages be inserted into the PDF with vector type intact?
    Thanks all!
    rg

    gatz:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know much about bleeds but you can manipulate it in the iPhoto preference file with Pref Setter.
    Regarding the rasterized type, you'll have to give it a try and then create a pdf of the book to check it out. In iPHoto 5 we used to be able to get a copy of the pdf file that was uploaded to Apple but in V6 that's not possible. I think the pdf file may be the same as we get when creating it via Print to PDF. Here's the info I received from Apple about book quality and materials:
    I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
    "Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
    I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
    iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
    While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
    For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
    iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
    For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
    Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
    BOOKS
    All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
    Hardcovers Books
    The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
    Softcover Books
    The softcover books come in three sizes:
    - Large 8.5 x 11 inches
    - Medium 6 x 8 inches
    - Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
    All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
    CARDS
    All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
    CALENDARS
    All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
    To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
    KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
    I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."

  • Iphoto 9.3 and Mountain Lion Problems : Cant access my library : rebuilding doesn't work just hangs for hours

    My Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard, had hard drive failure so I had to borrow a friends similar machine to access my iPhoto library ( 523 GB) on a 1TB drive after editing the photos and after exporting one folder of images the program quit and then asked me to repair which I tried hung up at 99% and would not open the event thumbnails . I have tried everything even trying to transfer the particular event from that library to a new library using iphoto manager just so I can export my project and send but still no success as it is telling me that it is getting no info from the library, I changed permissions on the drive ..still no success . I restarted Iphoto and it took hours to show the images but all events thumnails said "0" and it shows all the event cover photos as a gray photo with a palm tree in it or something . I tried rebuilding again this morning and the new library says "0" photos and a library size of 7.3 mb
    I got my own Macbook 17in back yesterday and downloaded Mountain Lion to my machine and Iphoto 9.3
    I tried to open the library which is 523 GB of images that used to work fine before getting an error message saying it needed to be repaired. I tried opening it with Iphoto 9.3 via I photo manager which told be that there were inconsistencies in the library and it needed to be repaired I chose that option and it is now the following day still "rebuilding thumbnails" since last night . This is a huge problem I have missed project deadlines and my income is severely affected by this situation of not being able to access my work. What can I do to fix this, access my files and export my overdue project at this point ?

    Terence I find it surprising that you would say use Iphoto Manager after saying that I used it to rebuild using it took me to 99% of the way and just hung. I even spent my $20 and got the latest version 3.8.3  which was supposed to remedy these issues. See below my email to Fat Cat software the makers of Iphoto Manager:
    "Email to Fat Cat Software : Re Iphoto problems:
    My Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard, had hard drive failure so I had to borrow a friends similar machine to access my iPhoto library ( 523 GB) on a 1TB drive
    after editing the photos and after exporting one folder of images the program quit and the asked me to repair which i tried …it hung up at 99% and would not open the event thumbnails .I have tried everything trying to transfer the particular event from the library to a new library using Iphoto Manager just so I can work on my project but still no success as IPLM is telling me that it is getting no info from the library, I changed permissions on the drive ..still no success .
    I opened it using IPLM and it took hours to show the images but all events said "0" and it shows all the event cover photos as a gray photo with a palm tree in it or something . I tried rebuilding again this morning and the new library says "0" photos and a library size of 7.3 mb . There
    really seems to be a serious problem with Iphoto 9.3 as it
    asks you to rebuild or repair the library then IPLM stops at 99% leaving
    the thumbnails
    unviewable and just hangs up after that or wont open and there the problems start.
    Please advise and give me some viable options on this issue."
    Its days later and the support at Fat Cat software emailed me asking a question and are apparently just as floored as I am with this malfunction ..I hope they are working feverishly to address this as my conclusion and solution is as follows :
    Using the older version of Iphoto Library Manager when my machine asked me to upgrade and rebuild instead of the first aid function in Iphoto 9.3 did not help but actually corrupted my library and downloading the latest version did not help remedy it either. What I should have done and am now doing is using the Iphoto first Aid function in Mountain Lion and Iphoto 9.3 using option command to rebuild the entire library. So far it is working with no hangups ...it is now rebuilding image version number 6715 and counting with 33000+ images to go ..if this solution really rebuilds then that is the ONLY way to go with this issue which has cost me a lot of time and money in missed deadlines , lost income and lost business . Iphoto and Iphoto Library manager are normally great in what their purposes are and in ease of use and function but whenawry with compatibility in version software issues arise things go terribly awry and the tedious painstaking fixes available that go for days on end  just do not cut it.

  • After updating to iPhoto 6, thumbs and photos are missing

    I just updated from iphoto 5 to 6, installed off the iLife cd. iPhoto is displaying a grey screen with dashed boxes (that show the jpg names of the photos). When clicked, the enlarged photos show an exclamation mark"!"
    I have trashed the program and reinstalled it and gotten the same result.
    I have also relaunched with the option/apple keys and run OnyX to repair permissions and then restarted.
    I did not mess around with my iPhoto library. All the photos exist in their original folders. I could reinstall them BUT I have some very nicely done photo books and albums I'd like to keep and many of my photos have been retouched. I have around 5000 photos I'm dealing with.
    OF COURSE I did not Back up ILife before I upgraded. $%^&
    Manually Imported photos from another folder are showing up fine. - Which makes me think that there is some database that thinks that all the other pictures are of a grey box ... is there a database that can be thrown out?

    Well, I purchased and installed iPhoto Library Manager.
    Unless I am missing some magic button, It doesn't seem to be the answer. All it does is move the selected phantom file references and then tells me that 0 files were moved.
    I guess I get to manually add my old photos into the new "improved" iphoto 6 and forget about saving 2 years worth of albums and photo books.
    II don't know if this matters, I was running my old billing program in system 9, which I shut down while updating the photo list.
    Let this be a lesson, one I've learned too many times going back to 1985 MacII-1 simRam. BACK UP. Things have been running too smooth for too long. I got too comfortable. Its my own fault.

  • When they say that iCloud doesnt count Apps, books, music, and photos as space...

    Does this mean that all my apps dont count as actual storage space? let's say that I have Infinity Blade (take up quite a few mbs) would iCloud count it as a file that takes up part of the free 5gbs or not?

    So many issues here!
    1. You should never ever change the name of your Home icon - that's the short name of your User Account which is a total no-no. (Why don't Apple issue a grim warning when users try to do this?). Check out these old discussion threads which may contain something of interest or help :
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/7069252#7069252
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/4675452#4675452
    2. This needs recovering from - see the first discussion thread (above). Your User Account is being treated as a new one, but your old data should be there - read the discussion
    3. You must have been close to a full HD even before this happened? This is inadvisable - you should always have around 10% of your HD free, or at the very least, OS X will start to slow down dramatically.
    Hopefully the first thread above will point you to a fix of your problem.

  • IPhoto 11 - thumbnails and photos

    I recently purchased the MacBook Retina Pro, and have successfully imported my iPhotos from my old MacBook (circa 2008) to the iPhoto 11, v. 9.5.
    However, a few photos in some of my most recent events show up only as thumbnails. When I look at the photo info, they show up as sized less than 1MB, although all my other photos are 2+ MB. I have rebuilt the Library in the iPhoto Library Manager, and while the photos show up as normal size in the Manager, they still do not show up as full-size photos in iPhoto.
    I am now in Day 6 of trying to figure this out, and feeling more than a little frustrated, primarily because everything else has come through okay, except for a handful of thumbnails, which stubbornly refuse to become real photos.
    I have even tried copying them manually into iPhoto, from a USB stick, but that didn't work either.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Where is your Library stored?

  • IPhoto Books Snow Lion: Photos converted with errors

    On my new MacBook Air Lion was preinstalled, iPhoto11 is running. The data was transferred from my old MacBook (SnowLeopard, iPhoto11) through the Apple-Team (One-to-One).
    Two problems occur - the more puzzling first: Pictures are transformed for Books to order with peculiar mistakes. These cannot be due to missing original data - as photos spread over two pages will be okay on the left side, but with flaws on the right side (see picture taken when looking at Preview of finished book).
    If I create PDFs from books instead of Previews, things get worse: 99% of all pictures are corrupted.
    Help possible?
    The second problem are pictures lost in their edited version: When double-clicking the thumbnail to edit the picture, a warning sign appears: Image not found.
    The same is true if I want to watch Slideshows. If i click on "show original in finder" on the thumbnail, then the original is found there, and intact. But the edited version is gone.
    How do I show iPhoto the way back to the originals? Can the edited photos be found again?

    In regards to the first problem see this topic: Problem on creating Book: Apple Support Communities
    The second problem:  you get that when iPhoto loses or breaks the file path to the original file. How you did the transfer will affect how to go about fixing it.
