IPhoto book stopped in middle of loading

I had to close my computer before my iPhoto book was finished loading. (I was on a plane) I believe I was already charged for my 4 copies. How can I find out whether the charge went through? I assume I need to begin the purchase again.
Thank you!

iPhoto just stopped working. It loads pictures, but then goes into rainbow wheel forever. Then I try to force quit it, and then the whole Mac hangs up (had to power cycle it to get it back). I am using OS 10.5.8, and when I run software update, it assures me I have up to date software. I have not added any photos since the last time I used it, probably less than a month ago. What gives?

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Ipod 30 gig drive stops in middle of loading

i have a 30 gig ipod 5th gen and if i load videos after nearly 10 gigs of videos are loaded the ipod stops spinning.
i suspect that it is a flaw in the requirement for usb because none of the firewire ones spin down while loading content.
i updated and running latest os x and latest itunes and i have a powermac g4 agp with a usb 2.0 card from belkin.

Does this only happen with a particular track or is it just any track? Does this happen with the same tracks in iTunes? Have you tried a hard reset to see if that makes a difference?

Page won't load in iPhoto book slideshow or when viewing pdf of book

I've been working on an iPhoto book for several weeks now. It's 97 pages long with lots of photos. Each time I try to view the slideshow, the same page (near the end of the book) never loads comepletely. All other pages work fine, including pages before and after the messed up one.
In the slideshow, all I can see is the theme background I've selected, one out of the seven photos that are supposed to be on the page, and a curved arrow icon in grey in the center of the page. (No idea what that is or why it's there).
I just created a pdf of the book, and the same page only shows up as a white page, with what looks like part of a window opened in the bottom corner.
I'm using iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. I've attached a picture of the messed up pdf page:
Help please.

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.

Iphoto has stopped uploading photos and frozen. I have paid online for the book - what to do?

Hi there.. iphoto has stopped uploading photos and the programme has frozen on me. It assembled the book (step 1.), then did not complete the upload (step 2). Prior to these steps I provided my C/C detals and paid for the book. i had to Force Quit the iPhoto app, and now wondering what to do!? If I try to buy the book again, then it asks for my C/C details...

Did you get a confirmation email from Apple? Click on the Store button at the top of this page and use the Account ➙ Track a Purchase link. That will tell you if they received your book. Apple doesn't charge the card until it is shipped. You can also check with your credit card company to see if there's been a charge from Apple.
Try previewing the book by Control-clicking in the background of the view all pages in iPhoto and select Preview Book or Save Book as PDF:
If that process fails then there's a work around for it. Boot into Safe Mode and preview the book again to make sure you can get a PDF of the book. If you can then order the book while still in Safe Mode. Save the PDF file to compare with the printed book. If the PDF file is satisfactory the printed book should match it.
What size book are you ordering? Xtra large?

IPhoto 5.0.4 has suddenly stopped working. It loads the photo library and then freezes. Rebuilding the library has no effect which has about 3.5MB of data. PowerBook G4 OS 10.5.8

Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

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.

IPhoto has stopped loading images

I'm on a photography course - uploading images is critical. Two things; For some reason iPhoto has stopped recognising my images. Canon Image Browser still recognises them and uploads but iPhot claims they are unreadable. What has changed?
Also, some thumb nails won't happen. Is the image still on my HD, if so where and how do I find it. Or is it lost forever?
Small words please as I'm struggling to get to grips with Mac!
Cheers

What camera(s) are you using, and are you using RAW or jpeg format?
Usually a photography course requires you to start using RAW if they're teaching post-processing (i.e modification after the picture is on your computer) and I'm thinking maybe you're using a camera whose RAW files are not supported?
The Canon image browser doesn't use the built-in OS support so it would be able to see the files. But if you're using a very old or a very new camera, chances are it has a RAW file type that the OS doesn't support. JPEGS from the same camera are usually always supported since that format is a standard.

IPhoto 8.1.2 won't load

Hi all,
I have:
iPhoto 8.1.2
Macbook
OS 10.6.7
At some point iPhoto simply stopped loading. When it is opened, it shows a "blank" screen - no photos, nothing in the side bar. Then the beach ball just spins and spins and spins.
I have used Disk Utility to verify/repair permissions.
I have trashed the preference file.
I have logged out and back in.
I have restarted.
I have tried opening iPhoto while holding down the option and command keys to rebuild the library, but I still get the same screen.
I have logged in to another account on the same machine and iPhoto opens fine there, so I am guessing it is something to do with the database in my account.
I have copied the iPhoto library to an external HD as a backup.
Do I need to reinstall the app? It's about the only thing I've not yet tried.
TIA

As iPhoto works fine in the other account, we can guess the app is okay, and re-installing won't help.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I just did a software update that was apparently for iPhoto. When I try to open iPhoto it stops at "step 5" and will not go further. what do I do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2

Low budget image proofing for iPhoto book order

Hello!
I want to prepare my photos the best I can for iPhoto book ordering (Christmas present for family).
I have a Dell U2711 attached to a Mac Mini running OS X 10.6.8 and iPhoto '11 9.2.1. and a Canon Selphy CP520 dye sub printer which I thought to use as a precheck of what my JPG sRGB images would look like when printed in a book.
Here's my headache:
If I set up the monitor and calibrate the display profile as suggested in post #1 under this thread then such setup makes me color correct the photos by RADICALLY pushing the midtone slider in the levels adjustments to the left (brightening the picture). Prints that come out of the Selphy under this setup are a perfect match to what I see on the monitor and that is wonderful. However, I hesitate to order a book using such images because they appear far too bright on an iMac for example. (Perhaps I should mention that Google logo in Safari looks like its on steroids in this setup).
On the other hand, if I set up the monitor as it came from factory (PC gamma, standard preset), and use the default DELL U2711 display profile in SystemPreferences, then pictures look relatively ok on screen without any radical color correction. But prints that come out of Selphy with this setup don't match what is on the display, prints are too dark, and again I hesitate to order a book with such images.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Mato

Yes - don't try so hard and use your Mac and iPhoto - not a PC
iPhoto is designed as a consumre level program for point and shoot comeras - many people (including me) report excellent results using it that way - load sRGB photos form a digital camera and do minimal processing on them - never do major color adjustments - using iPhoto - preview rthe book -
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.
and order
Apples comments on this are here
Of the negative comments posted here nearly all of them were from people who spend lots of time and energy adjusting photos trying to second guess the printing process and failing to do so - Apple does have an unconditional sastisfaction guarentee - do it the simple way - less is more in this case

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 displaying corrupt pictures

I successfully ordered a number of calendars iLife 08. Image quality was great ... no complaints. HOWEVER, when I received my first hardcover book, I was surprised to see 8 photos displaying what appeared to be corrupt files.
Subsequently, with the help of Apple Photo Services, I have tried to determine what the problem may be with the photos or if the problem lies with IPhoto! I examined every photo, tried inserting them in various programs, ran some through PhotoShop and all appears well. I followed the following instructions from Apple:
Our engineers suggest the following troubleshooting steps. I hope
this will help resolve this issue and allow you to resubmit your
order:
1. Close iPhoto and use Software Update to install the latest
version of iPhoto and Mac OS. For more information on using
Software Update, see the article entitled
“Updating your software” at
docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh292.html
2. Once the installation is complete, launch iPhoto.
3. Select your book from the Source list on the left.
4. Select Print from the File menu.
5. Click the Preview button on the bottom left. This will create a
PDF of your book and display it using the Preview application.
If the PDF no longer shows corrupt images, you may resubmit your
book order by clicking the Buy Book button.
If the PDF still shows missing images, follow these steps:
1. Return to iPhoto and go to Page 25.
2. Press and hold the Control key while clicking on the appropriate
image. This should display a contextual menu.
3. From the contextual menu, select Edit Photo.
If you can see the photo after selecting Edit Photo, but the PDF
preview still does not display this image, please let us know by
replying to this email and we will investigate further.
If you cannot see the photo after selecting Edit Photo, or you get
a gray square with an “!” in the middle, then the original photo is
damaged or cannot be found. If you have a backup copy of the image
file, you can copy it back onto your computer and import it again
into your iPhoto book. If you do not have a backup copy of your
missing image, you may wish to replace the missing images with
other images prior to resubmitting your book.
Be sure to preview the PDF of your book (step 5 in the
“troubleshooting” section above) before resubmitting your order.
We hope this information helps. Thank you for being an Apple Print
Products customer. We appreciate your business.
To date,I have created saved 8 PDF's of the book file and each one shows different corrupt files while at the same time while in iPhoto, all the photos appear okay.
About to give up and either go back to an earlier iPhoto or just go to an alternate vendor.
Any help, suggestions or insight is appreciated. Is iPhoto 7. 1.1 really that buggy?
Bob

Robert:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You may have a corrupt database file. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. This will rebuild the thumbnails as well as the database file. While you're at it you might as well select the option to repair permissions. See if that makes any difference.
Report back and we'll go from there.
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 and Leopard. 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.

"Edit photo" link in iPhoto Book Project does not work

Hi,
I am putting together an Book project in iPhoto. On a few pictures, I would like to edit them to make minor adjustments.
When I right click on the picture in iPhoto Book Project, there is an option to "Edit Photo".
When I click on the "Edit Photo" link, the screen switches to the iPhoto Edit page but the picture does not load for editing - it's just a black screen.
I can always edit the photo before placing it in the Book, but in a large Book it is more convenient to select the picture on the Book page rather than going back and look for it in iPhoto.
Anyone has experienced/fixed this? Is this a bug? I have version 9.2.3
Thanks
Armen

Are you able to go to the photo in its Event and edit it there? Apply the fix below:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #1 to repair permissions and #4 to rebuild the database.
