Iphoto book shipping issue-

This is complicated.....
I have an American itunes account and US address for my apple id but have live in Australia and NZ.
When I create an ibook and then go to buy it the default shipping country is in New Zealand and I can't seem to change it. Can't remember if I might have ordered an ibook while I was in New Zealand or not but the country is locked into NZ for shipping.
I am in Australia and created a book that I want to send to someone in the US and can't figure out how because AGAIN the shipping country seems to be "defualted" to New Zealand (where I did live) and there is no option for changing it.
Please advise.

What version of iPhoto? In '11 you set the country in the iPhoto preferences ==> print products country

We are unable to have iPhoto books shipped into Canada, because the shipping address field will only accept US zip codes. Any solutions?

Have you set the Print Products Store to Canada in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced Panel?
This determines the address format.
And your billing address and shipping address must be in the same country, as defined for your AppleID and credit card.

IPhoto Book - Preview Issue ?

I am getting ready to order a iphoto book. I preview it in a .pdf file and have saved it as a .pdf. Everything looks great BUT, for some reason there is a white page (the book is all black background) with the text from the title page on it ? Will this show up on the final print ? I have no idea if i need to remove it or call Apple maybe ???? Help

That text against the white background is just for printing the book title on the cover. If, while viewing the book in iPhoto, type Command+P and select the PDF ➙Save as PDF option you'll get a pdf showing just the pages and not the jacket spread out, etc. You'll see what each page including cover and inside cover front and back will look like.
The pdf created by the Preview method includes each component needed for printing by Apple, i.e. the jacket, inside and out and the pages.

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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

IPhoto Book Order Issue

I created a book which I was able to place a successful order. But, as soon as I duplicate the book and make no changes, I get an error message that says photos are missing! Why is this happening!?!??!!?

But, as soon as I duplicate the book and make no changes, I get an error message that says photos are missing! Why is this happening!?!??!!?
Can it be, that you have deleted photos from an event, that were used in the book? Then you now will have empty photo boxes on some of your book pages, even if you did not change the book at all. Deleting photos from an event will remove them from albums and projects, like books, cards, slideshows as well.
Can you open your book album and browse it? Are there empty photo boxes, or boxes with alert triangles?

IPhoto - book shipping prices

What are they (in the UK) ? I can't find them on the Apple site. I'd like to order a medium softcover book with 20 pages, normal delivery speed; can anyone help? Thanks

Pretty much your choice is to get a Canadian Credit Card or have a friend use theirs

HT1051 iPhoto book - international shipping issue...

Hi! I have just moved to Singapore from London & have created an iPhoto book that I would like to ship to my Singapore address. However, when I click to purchase the book, it refuses to accept my Singapore postcode.. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!

With some many posts related to "shipping internationally from iPhoto" you would think Apple would chime in by now. It really is a major failure on Apple's part that international shipping is not allowed. Instead you force users to go to SNAPFISH or other 3rd party services - thus taking our money elsewhere.
Its been a problem for YEARS... please fix this Apple. You can't expect users to open a credit card account in a different country - also its almost impossible to do for most people.

IPhoto book - Never shipped

How frustrating. I ordered my first printed book from Apple and it supposedly shipped on July 13 to be delivered on July 17. I paid for express shipping. On July 17, I checked the tracking number and the only information was that the order was electronically transmitted to FedEx. I called FedEx and they said a label was printed, but the package was not picked up by FedEx. I called Apple and was told they had no access to the iPhoto book printer so they would send an email and I would have a resolution in 24 hours.
I got an email this morning from the fool who read the complaint. The email response simply stated that the "order shipped July 13, if you don't receive it in two business days, reply to this email". They also suggested I track it with FedEx, which I had done and it was noted in the original complaint. Great resolution! Obviously I hadn't received it by July 17 or I wouldn't have called them. I responded to the email and have not received word back. I called Apple and the representative said, "I'm going to give you a web address to trouble shoot your iPhoto issue". What a moron. I asked to speak to a supervisor. She stated that they had no access to the iPhoto printer and that my response to the email was the only way to contact them. She told me to wait an additional 24 hours to see what happens.
I don't mind waiting an appropriate period of time to have a problem resolved, but when they promise one thing and then fail, it's frustrating. So I guess I'm at their mercy.

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.

Trying to ship 6 iPhoto books to 6 different addresses in one order.

I'm trying to place an order for 6 copies of my iPhoto book (90 pages) and have them shipped to 6 separate addresses. Can this be done? Im trying to avoid creating separate orders because the upload time is long for a 90 page book.
Can this be done?

No, it can't be done. All books of one order can be shipped to only one address.

Can I ship an iPhoto Book from Australia to China?

I have made an iPhoto book for my friends in China, detailing the good times we had over the years.
Can I order it and give the address in China, in Chinese?
It seems a waste to have it mailed to me and then for me to mail it again.

That option is not available.

Unify aperture and iphoto libraries: the book (tricky) issue

I had been in the process of migrating from iPhoto to Aperture for a while now.
I imported iPhoto library in Aperture few monthes ago and am now using only Aperture.
Everything is fine for two things:
- I could not import the books (format is not compatible), so i had to keep the iPhoto library
- I didn't want to duplicate the orignals , so they are still in iPhoto library
With Aperture 3.3, the library could be unified with iPhoto
I would like to move all originals to Aperture library and still be able to open from iPhoto (so far, easy) but also keep the iPhoto books (which as far as i know are still incompatible with aperture books formats)
In other words, i want one aperture library, including masters, and I want to be able to open it from iPhoto, and still keep the old books (that were built from the initial iPhoto library) in iPhoto
Any clue ?

Hi Leonie,
You're really full of resources (not sure if this french expression translates well in english, but you get the idea) !
I finally found a way, not the most elegant one, but it's working:
0. Open each book in iPhoto. Delete in the book non-used photos of the book (in project list, choose book, then choose photos in the toolbar in the bottom, display non placed photos, delete). Now books projects only contain photos actually used in the book. (this step may not be necessary, but it speeds the process)
0. bis: Backup your Aperture library. don't forget to stop also any automatic backup process (like time machine)
1. Open the iPhoto library with Aperture (remember i had already migrated to Aperture 3,3 & iPhoto 9, which makes the libraries compatibles)
2. Export each of your books as a phototheque (right click on the book in the inspector navigator/ choose export impression project as a phototheque). Give specific name, for example "project x"
3. Open first created book phototheque in aperture
4. Tag photos of the phototheque with a specific keyword, for example "book x"
5. Close phototheque for "book x" and resume on step 3 for other phototheques
6. Open default aperture Library
7. Import first phototheque, merge with Aperture Library
8. Normally you get duplicates, especially if you have added metadata or edited the photos in aperture since you created the books in iPhoto. At least that's what happened to me
9. You can now grab the recent metadata on the one that was already in Aperture and apply it to the imported one. To do that, create a smart album with the keyword "project x"; then move all new imported events from iPhoto to the event where they belong in aperture. Then in the smart album, for a specific picture when you choose "display in the project" (i have defined a shortcut) you are in the event where the duplicate photo also sits. Choose cmd shift C on the photo with metadata, cmd shift V on the photo with the tag "project x" to transfer the metadata. You can delete the first one, except if you had edited the original differently in the book and in aperture and want to keep both. You still have to re-enter the faces on the imported one
10. You can erase the tag "project x"
11. Go back to step 7 for other books
12. Check you can see your books in iphoto when opening aperture library with iphoto. You can now consolidate the aperture library and migrate all referenced iPhoto pics inside the aperture library
13. you can erase iPhoto Library and other books phototheques created in step 2
You now have one unified library, that you can use in aperture and iPhoto, with your old iPhoto books in it.
(you also have lost a few hours...)

TS1140 I am having issues with an iPhoto book that I created. When I try to purchase it, it fails to load for payment, yet I don't see any error messages in the book itself? Help!

I can't seem to get my photos for an iphoto book to load. It will assemble the pictures, but at the last step, it never progresses with loading the photos - I always get an error message.

how doe the preview work?
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.
what is the error message?

UK iPhoto books - in time for Christmas

I ordered 4 iPhoto books on November 28th as Christmas presents for my immediate family. The Apple side assured me that any orders before 5th December would be with me before Christmas.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of delay? Apple now have 2 days left to fulfill their promise before they ruin my Christmas.
Chippy

I just received an email after 10 times of trying

What worries me now is that there are books and calendars somewhere in the world with pictures of my young sons - with my address on them. I don't think I need to spell it out but it does make you think!

IPhoto Book not recived no tracking number

Dear Forum,
I ordered an iphoto book on the 22nd of August got the confirmation email and the shipment email on the 27th of August. I have not received yet my book or have any tracking number. I've contacted apple support and have given me no answers, sent several emails with no answer...
Where can I get my tracking number?

Hello Larry,
1- Yes I've Checked my order status, and it says: Shipped.
and shipping method: Standard (the only option they gave me), Tracking number: Service with no tracking number.
2- I've contacted twice apple support by mail, by the link you give me, and called them 3 times. On mail and with the link, i have not gotten any response yet, on the phone, they don't look for any solutions or give me any other options.
This was supposed to be a gift for a very important person, who was leaving, today to the USA, I'm in spain and because of everything in life, we are not going to see each other for at least a year now. So this error figures...

To cactus94: I'm probably going to cancel my order and move on to another printing service company, cheaper, same results, and better timing, for this order, and the many next ones to come. I would recommend you to do the same. Hope this issue is solved soon.
