Iphoto book default text Question

I have completed a Iphoto book and when I select "Buy book" in Iphoto a box appears and says "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?" What does this mean?

text boxes include Latin looking default text - this message means that in the book you have a text block with no text entered and as it says. it will not be printed  --  it is a warning not a fatal error and you can still order - but be sure to preview first as the printed book will match the preview

  • IPhoto books- Delete text boxes?

    For several pages in an iPhoto book I am making, I do not want any text or descriptions. However, there are empty text boxes whose outlines are still showing up. I don't want the pages to print with the text box outlines. There is nothing typed in the boxes and I have tried deleting them, but I can't figure out how to.
    For the portfolio theme, the layout options include the text boxes. All the pictures are situated how I want them, but I just don't want the text box rectangles showing up. Any suggestions?

    Most page layouts offer one with and without text boxes. Check the layout menu at the bottom to see if there's not one without text for your theme.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Anyway to create an iPhoto book with text & no image on cover?

    Would like to create a book with text only on the cover and no image. The only options with text require an image as well and as a result the pdf preview shows the square designated for an image (when no image provided). Any help/suggestions appreciated.

    Hi Richard,
    In this community, "It cannot be done" means "It cannot be done with Pages '09."
    The document in question was, obviously, produced using an application oter than Pages.

  • When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

    When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
    How do I proceed?  How do I identify which is "default text?"

    What version of iPhoto are you using?
    Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box.  If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
    If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.

  • I have bought a Macbook Pro Retina, and the iPhoto which comes with it, has a different iPhoto Book menu.  I cannot see how to put text at the bottom of the pages of photographs, instead of the default place in the middle.  Is there a way to do this?

    There are different templates for iPhoto books and they differ from version of iPhoto to iPhoto, so explore the other options.

  • When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

    I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
    Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
    My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
    The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time  Please Help.G
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Yes, you're safe to continue.  That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed.  That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin.  Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
    Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
    Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

  • All text in PDF iphoto books displays 1 or more inches lower than it should

    Hi all
    Im having a bit of trouble with my iPhoto books. Regardless of the theme when I turn the book into a pdf the text displays at least 1 inch lower that it should. It looks ok in iPhoto but is rendered incorrectly when saved as a pdf. Which means i can not get them printed.
    I presume some setting is wrong but I cant work out what it is.
    thanks
    Steve

    1) it depends on what kind of placeholder it is, title or body.
    2) incorrect. You can make your slide master and then save as a theme.
    3)incorrect. You may need to make the item a placeholder in the document tab of the inspector.
    4) it is easier and if you're coming from PPT it taks a little getting used to. The only thing i prefer PPT to Keynote for is the master slides (in PPT 2007).
    5) If I'm reading this right there is an option to make "default" for master. Sorry I can't check i don't have my Mac with me.

  • How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

    How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

    You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text.  Look for boxes like this:
    Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

  • Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project.  I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box., Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project.  I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box.

    I'm am having difficulty editing text in the iphoto book project.  I have a text box that is pre-populated with text.  I can edit the text once, then if I need to change something, it won't let me delete anything, only add to it.  Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks!

    You should be able to double click in the text box and add or delete text. First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - 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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos, create a book  and check to see if the same problem persists. Post back with the results.

  • Default text in iphoto

    My photo album is in french but I keep getting a default text box even after I changed my language setting to french. If I continue and purchase the album
    some text will not appear in the photo album. What am I missing?

    Have you previewed your book? See: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Your book will be printed exactly as you are seeing in the preview.
    but I keep getting a default text box even after I changed my language setting to french.
    The default text boxes are inserted by iPhoto to show you what your own text will look like. You are supposed to erase that text and to replace it by your own captions. Any text  that you do not replace will be omitted in the final print.

  • Default text on iphoto products

    I'm trying to buy a Photo Book on iPhoto.
    But when I try to buy the book it tells me that 'Your book appears to have default text that has not yet been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue with your order?'
    I have changed every bit of text and am happy with what I have. Now I'm nervous about buying the book in case this does happen, why doesn't it tell you what you need to edit????
    Pleae help   :-(

    moody,
    the default texts will be in latin, like "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,"
    If you do not see any latin, there may be text boxes occluded by pictures, but that will not matter, since the default text will not be printed.To get rid of the warning, replace any default latin text you are seeing by a blank character.
    However, be sure to preview your book and to check he formatting carefully. The preview will show you exactly what will be printed.  See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
    And save the resulting PDF file for future refeence - just in case.

  • I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'. Really dissapointed, my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it?

    I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'.
    Was really dissapointed when my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it? Or can I get some sort of discount? I don't live near a post office so I'd rather not have to return it.

    Contact Apple support - they can answer that type of questions - we are just users here like yourself
    BTW - it is best not to order when you have errors - to resolve that error place a single space in the subject text box
    and always
    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.

  • Is it possible to make an iphoto book that has all text on a page?  I want to have some pages with mostly text.

    Is it possible to make an iphoto book that has mostly text on some of the pages?  I would like to make a book that has more text than photos on some pages.

    Of course (at least in some themes - travel for sure) - have you looked at the available layouts?

  • PDF text pages in iPhoto books

    I'm not sure that this is a problem. I just want reassurance before I click the ORDER BOOK button and buy the iPhoto book I have created.
    I have imported PDF pages of text into the book, as I was able to get more control over the text layout that way. However, when I proof a PDF-text page, it looks more blurry and pixellated than standard, typed-on-the-page text, as if the resolution is not quite so high. It is perfectly legible, just a shade less sharp.
    Is this likely to be a resolution matter with my printer, or will the text be marginally more blurry in the printed book's PDF pages, too? If blurry is the answer, is there anything I can do before ordering the book to get the text looking just as sharp on the PDF pages as on the non-PDF, direct-to-page, text?
    Many thanks in advance.

    In PS under Edit->Color Settings Working Spaces set Grayscale to Dot Gain 20% and set the RGB menu to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. This is for future uses.
    Now open each file in PS CS2 from withing iPhoto, go to the Image->Mode menu and select RGB. Save the changes, Command+S, and that's it. The photo will then appear normally in iPhoto.
    Here's how to use Photoshop from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you ever do any scanning of B/W photos always scan as color.
