IPhoto book issue - no theme installed?

How do I install themes onto the mac to make books?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Cannot upload iphoto book - issues

This has been a recurring problem and to be honest it is very frustrating. Here is a summary of my issues:
1. Book upload (generally in most cases is a XLarge, 50+ pages) gets all the way to the end and - "An error occurred uploading your order". I retry, an hour or two later same thing. This has happened on my last 8 attempts on 2 different books.
I have tried the following fixes:
- installing mavericks and new iphoto
- using hard wired ethernet cable as opposed to wifi
- doing all the suggested fixes from these forums, plists and all that.
- my apple ID is fine - works for everyrhing else.
I had a run a little while back when using the ethernet cable that all my books worked, 6+ over a 6 week period Mar-Apr but recently (this last month) back to failure.
*** Apple? What is happening? No one can find a solution. Apple over the phone support cannot help, they dont have a fix. The books are nice, I'd rather not have to go elsewhere, but seriously this is beyond a joke.
Any suggestions welcome, please......

Ok,
I solved my own problem and frankly i'm amazed.
I followed some suggested tips like booting in safe mode but I didnt upload the book in that.
I ran a speed test for my internet, my upload was 0.43mbps, fairly standard for ADSL2+ in Australia. This probably explains why it was taking 2+ hours to upload. During that time I guess anything can happen with my line, hence the failures if the internet drops out.
I used my iPhone to tether. I found the place in my housed with the best 4G/LTE reception - 1 bar off full coverage. Began the book upload. IT TOOK LESS THAN 2 MINUTES to upload an 80 page book.
I still cant believe it. I'm thankful 4G coverage has recently come to my area. This will be my method to upload books every time!!
I'm quite happy.
So my suggestion is that if your books are slow to upload or fail during the process, check your upload speed and if you can tether from an iphone or 4G device, give it a try worked for me - amazingly well.

Iphoto why does iphoto crashe when trying to change theme on iphoto book.

i have been trying to change the theme style of a iphoto book i made and everytime i press change theme is shows its loading and never loads or it crashes. help me out pleas.

HI Rune,
That is most likely a shared library issue. The Finder is trying to access your iPhoto library without iPhoto being open. Sometimes when libraries are shared, they can become corrupt.
Go here and read about shared library issues.
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sharedlibraryerrors.html#Anchor-Resolving-35326
The easiest way to fix this is to back up your important data and do an Archive and Install which restores your system software. It does NOT erase the drive, you do not have to reinstall any Apple pre-installed software, ie., iLife applications.
Go here and read the instructions for archive and install.

How do I redeem a coupon code issued by Apple, due to a previously botched iPhoto book?

I had a recent iPhoto book order that was misprinted twice & although it was eventually redone & perfect, Apple issued me a coupon code for a credit on a future job. I'm trying to redeem that now but can't find where to do so.
The instructions that came with the code say to "click Buy then click Use A Coupon on the right". There is no Use A Coupon on the right or anywhere else. I've gone through all the ordering screens, up to the point where it says "Place Order" & there is no Use A Coupon button.
On the very last Place Order screen there was an Enter Promo Code box & I tried to enter my coupon code there but it woudn't take it.
The email states that the coupon code is valid until the end of 2011 so I know it's not expired.
Anyone ever done this before?

"Promo Code" is the only option I see in iPhoto '11.
If you haven't already, make sure you are copying and pasting the code from the email to the promo box.
If that doesn't help I suggesty you email them back to ask them how to use the code they gave you.

Using iPhoto Book Themes in Aperture

I would like to use the iPhoto book themes in Aperture.
Anyway of importing them.
Thanks, Paul.
iMac Intel Core Duo 20", 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6) Nikon Coolscan V ED, Nikon D200, Iomega MiniMax

In iPhoto-08 I have 13 book themes and in Aperture 2.0.1 I have 8 beautiful themes, fully customizable that is. I am also able to make my own Custom Themes.
The new themes is Formal and Modern Lines.
You can find more info on this at:
www.apple.com/aperture/features/100.html
I think that the reason for more themes in iPhoto is that iPhoto is aimed at the consumer market and Aperture for the professional market. If I really would like to make a book with the Crayon- or the Water Color theme (would I ever?) I certainly would update preview for those images and then make the book in iPhoto.
IMHO the book options has become more flexible in v2 although there are some issues yet and some features I really would like to see in an upcoming upgrade.

IPhoto book themes

I had a hard drive crash and am in the process of restoring a new hard drive with the recovered data. iPhoto seems to work fine except I lost all of the iPhoto Book Themes. I re-installed iPhoto on the new drive, and, as I said, it seems to be working. But, I cannot find the themes. Where can I go to download the themes for this. I am using iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424).

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

Iphoto Books: How to Enable "fit photo to frame size" when theme grays it out by default

Don't know if this has been posted before or not, but I've been using the "Modern" Theme in iPhoto books and trying for the life of me to figure out how to get my photos to not crop while they're in a single-photo framed layout (I'm not using 4:3 photos; mine are 8.5" by 11"). Even fully zoomed out my photos cut off at the top and bottom. I knew about the "fit photo to frame size" option but the theme had it greyed out--except for on one page, in which it was already enabled. So I must have done it before without paying attention, but it took forever to figure out how to do it again.
Here's how:
1. Open up the page you want to modify. I'm assuming here that your photos are already placed, but if not, place the photo you want to use.
2. Click the Layout tab.
3. Change the layout to the single page full bleed option--no frame. Your photo should now be blown up across the page.
4. Right click the photo. The "fit photo to frame size" option should now be available for you to check off. Go ahead and activate it.
5. Change the layout back to the single photo framed option. Your photo will now fit inside the frame, although to truly see the whole thing you have to open up the Options tab and select the borderless option.
To save time in steps 1-3, and step 5, you can also change the layout of all your pages at once by clicking page 1 (not the cover, the next page), then opening the Layout tab, then selecting the layout you want. You still have select the "fit photo to frame size" individually for each photo.
Hope this is useful for people.

There is an option for the Initial View that is "Magnification:" "Fit Page". And this works for the initial page when the PDF is opened and it does not matter what the page size it, Acrobat/Reader will automatically fill the screen with the page. If you want the zoom type to change with each page then you need add a page open script to each page to set the pages zoom type to "zoomtype.fitP"
this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;

I try to print a thumbnail from within iPhoto and it keeps telling me I don't have any themes installed. When I look in iPhoto folder the themes folder is there. Themes are in app. Support also. I rebuilt iPhoto database and rebooted but no cure. DICKSTER

Try to print from within iPhoto a thumbnail & I get message that there are no themes installed. They are in iPhoto folder and a folder of themes is in the library/ application support. I rebuilt iPhoto data base using iPhoto rebuild. No change, also rebooted hd.

Restoring iPhoto 9 (11) Themes
First look in your HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there move it to the Trash. Also look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one move it to the Trash. Reinstall iPhoto as described below:
1 - delete the current application.
2 -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,
Click to view full size
3 - mount the disk that iPhoto 11 came on, either an iLife 11 disc or the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
If iPhoto 11 came with the computer then double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install.
Apply all of the latest iPhoto 9 (11) updates followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.

Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
What version did you have?
Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

IPhoto Book Themes - Printed Guides

Hi,
Many of you are familiar with my rather obsessive site documenting all the different layouts that you can create with each iPhoto book theme: http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes
I've long thought it would be handy to have a printable version, concisely laid out, to serve as a reference guide, right on my desk, while I'm creating a book. The result is 16 individual e-books (in PDF format) that exhaustively, concisely, and beautifully show you every possible layout in each of iPhoto's themes, all updated to reflect iPhoto '09 version 8.11.
Which theme allows captions? Which lets you put 8 photos on a single page? How do you get one large vertical next to two smaller horizontals? It's all laid out in these new ebooks.
I am giving away the Modern Lines theme guide for free for a limited time. The only thing I ask in exchange is feedback on how useful you think it is and if this is something you can imagine buying in the future (though of course, there's no obligation).
I will continue to update the Web site as well.
If you're interested in seeing the sample, just drop me a line. (http://www.elizabethcastro.com/html/contact.html)
kind regards,
Liz

I created an iPhoto Calendar and an iPhoto book. Now I'd like to order them together (one order, one postage). How can I do that?

Of course - that is exactlhy why i told you that you can not because it is not a feature of iPhoto
You can not order different products in a single order. Period. exactly!
