IPhoto Book Purchasing procedure stuck

I cannot complete the procedure to purchase the book from iPhoto, as a telephone number is a mandatory field and it keep showing error - does not accept the entry.
The issue is that most phone numbers in Italy (both home and mobile) have 6 or 7 digits, but this field in iPhoto book requires 8 digits (no more no less than that) and does not accept space or other characters to fill the missing digit.
Did someone experienced the same? Can someone help in fixing this bug?

Search the forums - several people have figured this out - for one it was not including the + that their country normally has - for another it was moving a digit from one field to another field
You might add leading 0s to make the full 8 digits
In the US the phone number is ten digits all numeric in the form of aaa-ppp-nnnn - can you use that format?

IPhoto Books purchased by others

I build photobooks through iPhoto that have appeal to a limited number of folks. I have little interest in getting orders and collecting money and distributing books. I build the books for me, and because these books often contain pictures of other peoples kids (from Scouting events or sporting events), often times there are a limited number of folks who would like to buy the books also. Is there a way that I can give these folks a way to purchase these books themselves directly from Apple? I know that they would end up paying the max shipping, and I am OK with that.

If you follow the instructions in this tutorial, #9 - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date, you can get a small library with just those photos in the book. The library will be small enough to be able to be burned to a CD or DVD disk from the Finder (do not use the Share ➙ Burn menu in iPhoto). You could distribute the library on disk for a fee to cover the disks, etc. to those who want to order their own copy.
All they would need to do is drag the library from the disk to their desktop and open it with iPhoto by launching iPhoto with the Option key held down and selecting the book library in the window. I do that with all my books so as to have a copy to reorder at a later date.

IPhoto Book - unable to complete purchase

I successfully completed the compilation and purchase of a nice iPhoto book for a relative's wedding last week. Now I've finished making a second one and for some reason I'm unable to complete the purchase. It uploads all the pictures and compiles the book, then keeps taking me to a pop-up which says "your account information has changed". I have verified my account information four times and it then keeps circling back to "Buy Book" and starting the process from scratch all over again but won't give me the ability to complete the transaction.
Beyond frustrated!!

do not jsut verify your informtation - go to your Apple store account and re-enter all of it and save it ad then ry again
also preview your book prior to ordering -

You are on the UK Store. Scroll to bottom right, click on the USA flag to switch to the American store. Though you'll have to set up an account there too.

Crash when uploading iphoto book to purchase

I have completed an iphoto book and I went to buy book, and it took me through the log in, payment and shipping info, then when I click to process book, it starts loading and then it just shuts down and closes. The message only tells me that 'iphoto quit unexpectedly'. I've tried restarting my laptop and the same thing keeps happening. Any suggestions?

HT204655 How can I access a iPhoto book from time machine without it being modified by Photos?

When I updated to Yosemite I didn't realize the ramifications for iPhoto (silly me). When I migrated my iPhoto library to Photos I have somehow lost a couple of iBooks I had created. I have a number of older iPhoto books under projects, just not the most recent ones. I have checked my other libraries and they are not there. I realized that Apple might have the book in their system from the print order I made a few weeks ago, which they did. And I was able to reorder the book from my invoice for the last order and with help from some very nice Apple support people. However they cannot migrate the book back to me. So now I need to try and find it so I don't have to recreate it. I think it must be in Time Machine somewhere but I am afraid if I find it and try to reinstall it, Yosemite will do something with it. I have noticed when I opened another book that Yosemite said the format was no longer available and reformatted it to another template. Help.

So when I try to uodate iPhoto from my applications folder I am told to uplate IT from the App Store and when I go there I am told the updae is not available in Canada.
You can no longer buy iPhoto from the appStore anywhere, and also not update it from the "Updates" tab of the AppStore. You can reinstall it, if it is showing among your Purchases at the App Store and associated with your AppleID.
Sign into the AppStore look at the Purchases tab. If you do not see iPhoto there, try to unhide your Purchases as described on this page: Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
If iPhoto shows on your Purchases tab, reinstall as described in this User Tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
You may need to unhide your Purchases, if you do not see iPhoto on the Purchases page when you sign into the AppStore with your AppleID:

How to fix lost connections to original high-resolution pictures in iPhoto and how to import an iPhoto Book from one iPhoto library to another

Hi there,
I am using a MBP Pro with 8 GB cache and 1 TB HDD from beginning of 2011 with OS X Yosemite and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).
I created an iPhoto Book to print which contains my best pictures of 2013 and 2014. Then I got an error message when I wanted to print the book, saying (translated from German):
Book could not be created.
With photo p233432343.jpg there was an error. The original version of that photo with full resolution could not be found or is damaged. Please replace the photo or delete it from your book.
When I enquired further, I found out, that many, many pictures in my iPhoto library have that problem - only the thumbnail picture is found by iPhoto, but not the one with the high resolution. When looking at the photos in detail one sees that they are not sharp because obviously the photo book only refers to the thumbnail. When I went into the iPhoto Library using Finder, I saw that the original high res photos are still there. As there are an estimated 3000 photos with a lost connection (some still have, it but about 1/2 of my photos don´t), it does not make sense to import those photos manually. This photo book is just the tip of the iceberg, so to say.
Then I looked for solutions in some forums. I had two lPhoto libraries, one on my HDD (120GB) and one on an external HDD (175GB). Assuming there might be problems, I have deleted (moved) the one on my HDD, because the "right one" is the one on my external HDD and started iPHoto again using the alt key. But that did not work either.
I then tried to repair my iPhoto library using iPhoto Library Manager, and merged and rebuilt libraries. The library that came out was crap - all folders that had lost connections to the high resolution pictures now have zero photos in it. Also it is lacking the projects, including the photo book I created.
Then I went to find out if there is a way to import the iphoto book project from the old, corrupt library into the new, repaired library but could not find anything. It can only be exported as a file structure or website. As the file structure is missing the high res pictures, that does not even solve the "little" problem of the photobook.
I would REALLY appreciate your help on the two questions:
1- Can you advise what I need to to do to to get the connection to the high resolution photos established again ? As it is more than 3000 photos, I use an automated way of reestablishing that connection. Probably an answer to this question would make question 2 irrelevant.
2- Do you know if there is a way to export and import a book project created in iPhoto from one library to another ?

1 - Select the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder.
You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also. Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located. Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered. If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files. However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library.

Can I send an iphoto book to someone else's computer?

Greetings! I am so frustrated! I have created an iphoto book for a student and purchased copies of the book online. No problem. The problem, now, however, is that he would like the techno version of his book. Makes sense to me. Perhaps he'd like to modify it, or whatever. But I cannot figure out how to send it to him. The only thing I can do is purchase it (which I've already done). Any help with this would be oh so gratefully received.
Wendy

Well, thanks so much all of you! I'm so computer illiterate that I guess I'll need to find an in-person mac expert to help, if help is to be had. After all of your advice, I have tried 'printing' as a pdf. What I actually tried was emailing as a pdf. No go. File WAY too big. I tried 'printing' as a pdf and saving to a flash drive. I THOUGHT that would maybe work, but it didn't.
This is a tricky one since my student is international. We did the book in southern Africa, he is currently living in the States, and I am currently living in Canada. On my mac, which is where the book is in iphoto, I can ONLY buy the book if I send it to a Canadian address. I DID buy the book--several copies thereof--and had it sent to my Canadian address and distributed it from there. No, however, this student would like access to the iphoto file. Wow! I had no idea this would end up being so difficult. Next time I create such a photo book I will try to find another way to do it that is more flexible. I haven't tried Shutterfly, etc...
But, BOTTOM LINE, thank you so much to all of you who tried to help me out!
Cheers, Wendy

Cannot buy IPhoto book with version 7.1.5. Can I save it and buy it from another newer mac? How do I save it?

Spent a lot of time creating an IPhoto book for Xmas gifts. When I went to purchase the books I was then told I was not able to buy any product because my IPhoto version was outdated. I tried to update to latest IPhoto version but was then told I was not able to because my IOS operating system is too old.
I tried to update to Mavericks but I was told my Mac Mini is not able to accept the new operating system.
Looks like I need to just buy a new computer to buy some books huh?
Any other ideas? Thank you.

but was then told I was not able to because my IOS operating system is too old.
1 - IOS is not a Mac system - it is only on mobile devices
2 - teh version of the OS is not a determination of abiliby to purchase print products using iPhoto foe the Mac - teh version of iPhoto is the determining factor
so are you saying that your version of iPhoto is too old? I think so
You can run iPhoto '11 on OS X 10.6.8 - you must purchase an iLife '11 DVD (anazon or eBay are sources) and instal iPhoto '11 - the new version of iphoto will update your library (books may change some so

Why am I unable to upload an iPhoto book to the store?

I have created an iPhoto book and have been unable to get it to upload to the store. It assembles fine but an error message appears once it starts to upload.
I am working on a 27" iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Lion 10.7.4.
I have taken the following steps to try correcting the problem. Verify Disk, Repair perrmissions and the entire sequence in iPhoto Library Repair.
This is the first book to give me a problem.

I am telling you, I know this from experience. Unless you have made the photo book with one of the fonts in the /System/Library/Fonts folder ( which are the only ones that Safe Mode does not disable ), the font on the book will change. The fonts are the likes of Helvetica and such, so that is not likely.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Like you said, of course you always preview before purchasing. That's what I did, and the pdf looked exactly right. But the books I received had the wrong font, which I could maybe otherwise live with, but the changed font also meant that the texts were cut off in the middle on some pages. So the books are unusable.
Of course this begs the question, since the pdf looked right, is it possible that the problem wasn't caused by Safe Mode but was a simple production error on Apple's end?
This does not make sense, since Apple Support clearly states that Safe Mode disables fonts.

IPhoto Book Print - Rejected

Sirs
Could you please help me with an issue that I currently have with iPhoto.
As a Christmas Present for my 6 year old daughter, I have created an iPhoto book of our recent trip to EuroDisney. I completed the book and purchased it via the Apple Store in iPhoto.
However, I have today received an email stating as follows:
To Our Valued Apple Customer:
It appears that when your order was submitted to Apple, an error caused the
image file to be unreadable or unprintable. As a result, Apple is unable to
process your order and you will not be charged. We recommend the following
before submitting your order:
1. Update your software.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Make sure all applications are closed.
4. Open iPhoto or Aperture.
5. While all other applications are closed, preview your print product as a

6. Resubmit your order.

<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338>
I have checked the version of my MacBook - it is OS X 10.7 and I have checked the version of my iPhoto - it is 9.1.5. When selecting purchase in iPhoto, it is stating that I need to upgrade to 9.2.3. However, when I attempt to check for new updates in iPhoto itself, it is stating that my version is the latest version. Furthermore, checking for software updates via the Apple logo does not bring up any update for iPhoto nor does any updates in my Application Store.
It seems as if I require an update but there are no ways in which I can update this.
Could someone please advise / assist as I desperately want to get this book printed.
Many Thanks
Paul

If you update your system to 10.7.5 with the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo) and OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update updaters you can update your iPhoto version all the way to 9.4.2 thru the updaters availailable here: Apple - Support - Downloads-iPhoto 9.
But that's no guarantee that will fix the problem. If the problem image appears OK in a PDF preview of the book it should, as Larry pointed out, print out OK. If it doesn't look OK in the PDF preview file export it out of iPhoto, open in Preview and export as a new, JPEG file. Import it back into iPhoto, add to the book and replace the problem file with the newly created one. Then create a new PDF file of the book and check that photo.
