IPhoto book to slideshow online?

I made a book on iPhoto of my safari pictures.  I want to share it online to iTunes or YouTube as a slideshow.  Is that possible?

Export the slidehow to the Finder - this will make a movie of it. Upload that where you will.

  • Can I put iphoto book in a gallery online?

    Can I put my iphoto book in a gallery online for friends and family to see? It's large: 100 pages, zillions of photos, and a running narrative. I bought a hard copy for us, but it is too expensive to buy it for people from Virginia to California to the Netherlands. I hate to have to start all over again and create a narrative for all those photos. Any suggestions?

    In a way you can. This iWeb page has an iPhoto book that was converted to a JPEG file for each page and then used in a iWeb photo/slideshow page - iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.
    The same principle applies but instead of exporting out of iPhoto to iWeb you would create a MobileGallery out of the jpeg images.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    Try adding TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" to the embed tag.
    This Adobe page has a some information on other things to try.
    Macromedia Flash OBJECT and EMBED tag syntax.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to create an iDVD slideshow from an iPhoto book

    Hello,
    I created a book in iPhoto and would like to create a DVD of the book.  I'm using iDVD 7.1.2 and iPhoto 9.5.1.  Is this still a possibility? 
    Thanks in advance
    Scott Lorigan

    This tutorial should help: iP05 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.
    Follow this workflow in iDVD to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Any way to use the slideshow in the iphoto "Book"?

    Hi All,
    Currently, I want to edit slideshows and burn into IDVD. But I prefer the slideshow preview from iphoto "Book" which can edit more comments and slideshow function. Is it any way to select the slideshow from iphoto "book"? rather than just using the single function from the iphoto slideshow (which is not dynamic enough)... please help
    Thanks!
    Wymond

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can create an iDVD slideshow of a book. It's relatively easy. It's described in Old Toad's Tutorial #6 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.. I create one for every book I buy. A great way for a group of people to view the book at once.

  • Why does Apple keep caneling my iPhoto book order?!?

    I have tried twice to orderan iPhoto book and both times it was canceled. The first time because you have to have iPhoto 6.0.1 or later (though they never tell you this when you are going through all the ordering process). This second time I ordered it 10 days ago using 6.0.4 and everything seemed fine. Until today when I checked the order online and it says that it has also been canceled (10 days after I placed the order!). These were to be christmas gifts... and worst of all Apple has NO PHONE SUPPORT of iPhoto orders! PLEASE HELP!!!!

    TheRobin:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you try contacting them thru http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/ ? That's the official point of contact.
    Check all of your text boxes to make sure there are no characters, returns, etc., below the visible window. Usually there should be a yellow caution triangle in the text box.
    Be sure you're not using some unusual font that didn't come with your Mac.

    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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto Book Size limit

    Hello
    Can anyone tell me if there's a limit to the number of pages you can get printed in a book?
    And... can anyone tell me why, when I try to buy the book online, the quantity drop down box is shaded out?
    Thanks...

    Hi Mary,
    I am using iPhoto 6, and I see in another of your posts that you say you are using iPhoto 5, so I do not know if how I make an iPhoto Book movie will work for you. Would it be possible for you to update to iPhoto 6?
    So remember, these directions are for iPhoto 6 which I have. No, I do not "put music just to the photo album that feeds my iPhoto Books and then play a slide show in iPhoto". Rather, I create a book in iPhoto. Then when I click "Play" to "play the book" in iPhoto, a screen/menu shoots down that allows me to choose my "Settings" and/or my "Music" that I want to go along with my book. Under "Settings", then under "Transitions", I like to choose "Page Flip" to look like a real book with turning pages, plus I can choose which direction I want the pages to flip. I can also set the number of seconds per page that I want each slide/page to show. Then under "Music", depending on how long the book is, I can choose the appropriate length/style of music from Sample Music, or iTunes music, to go along with the book I have created. Once I have chosen my "Setting" & "Music" I then click on "Save Settings" still on the shoot-down menu. I then play/preview through the book, with pages flipping, and music in the background, just to check if I need to make any corrections, or if I am okay to proceed.
    If I am happy with the photo positions on each page, the music, & the transitions, I then go to the Main iPhoto menu at the top of my computer and under "Share" the "Send to iDVD" can be chosen [I am assuming that you have an iDVD burner, Mary [although you will not really be burning a disc for this project]?
    At this point, Mary, I am repeating what I had typed into my original post on this topic:
    Once I have prepared my iBook, I can use the pull down menu in iPhoto for "Share" and there send the iBook project to "Send to iDVD" where the iBook is converted to use by iDVD. This may take a few minutes, but iDVD will open it. At that point, just quit it and click on "Don't Save" when you are asked if you want to save. Next, check in your finder where your movies are saved. There you should find the name of your book if you named it, or "untitled book" if you did not. Yep, it is saved. Once you locate your book, you can double click on it and watch your book in Quick-Time Player. I not only watch the books I make on my computer, but also load them on to my iPod.
    I hope this is clear, but if you have any more questions, just let me know. I love the way this method for preparing a book/video turns out for my own uses. It really looks like a book with the photos positioned on each page as I choose them to look.
    This is a different topic than the above: I only used the PDF method of making a book/movie that has been suggested to me, and to you, when I created a book OVER 100 pages which iPhoto will NOT allow. With the PDF pages, I was able to create two volumes to the book, and then save them to PDF pages, and then combine those two files, and put them together in my iDVD program by making a slideshow that was put together to resemble a page flipping book. That book/movie had 165 pages of photos with music.

  • Bring far better iPhoto book-templates back!

    Please migrate the iPhoto Book templates to Photos.
    Photos is better in a lot of aspects but for us none of the offered book templates gets close to "Old World Travel" or "Asian Travel" etc.
    They had a far better variety of pages by default, being able to take more photos at the time and needed far less editing.
    The poor Photo books just show e.g. 80 pages of always the same boring page layout. Then the message "can only import 80 photos". In iPhoto I added 220 photos and got a nice varying layout. Boom.
    If this (rather easy-to-do thing) is not happening, I guess you lost us as customers!

    There are other online book providers that may have a more flexible layout that would suit your needs. Here are some of them:
    Sites for Ordering Bound Books
    Ofoto
    Shutterfly
    SharedInk
    ImageStation
    PhotoWorks
    Viovo
    Blurb
    Blurb has an application that you can download and build the book locally before uploading.

  • How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

    how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
    and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
    anybody has an idea?

    Stephan:
    If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
    Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.

  • 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

  • Can I share my iPhoto book?

    I created an Iphoto book for my twins' 12th birthday and ordered copies for each; however, my parents and other family members may want to view or order copies. . Any way I can share it with them on-line?

    Create a PDF file of the book as follows:
    1 - in the book mode type Command+P.  In the print window click on the PDF button and select Save as  PDF from the menu.
    2- email the PDF file to those who might want to order a copy.
    Another way to share the book is to create an iDVD video slideshow of it according to this tutorial: iP05 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book and burn DVD video discs to distribute.  I do it with all the books I give away as gifts.  Lets the receipient view the book (with music) on their TV set rather than thumbing thru the book with family members.

  • What are the photo dimensions in the iPhoto book?

    I'm scanning 35mm slides and want to know what size I should set my output. I'm looking in the iPhoto Help, but don't see anything about the printed page dimensions.
    Currently, my scans show up in Photoshop's image window as: 4"x6", 256 dpi and 1500x1000 pixel size.
    I think/hope this will be OK for 4, 3 and 2 images per page, but I want to rescan for the pages that will only have 1 picture.
    Should I set my output to the actual physical size of the picture on the printed page of the book? If so does anyone know what the dimensions are for 1, 2, 3 and 4 per page?
    Using VueScan software, I can set the input Scan Res from 300 to 4800 dpi. Is 600 dpi enough? Or should I go to 1200 or more?
    My Canon LiDE 600F scanner says it handles up to 48 bit rate. Should I set the Bits to pixel to this?
    Thanks for your assistance,
    Steven

    Steve:
    Setting the print size in Vuescan will adjust the dpi of the resulting file so that the photo is set to print that size. The scan dpi is what sets the number of pixels to be created during the scan. The print size just adjusts those pixels in the file so that an application like Photoshop will read it as that print size and adjusts the dpi as read to fit that size. If the print size it larger than the scanned image the dpi will be less than the scan dpi. It the print size is smaller conversely the dpi will be greater than the scan size.
    If you think that you might use a photo for a full page layout in the iPhoto book, 8.5 x 11, you would want to scan at a resolution that would give you 3300 pixels in the largest dimension. For a slide that would be 3300/1.4 or about 2400 dpi. The books are printed at 300 dpi so a 2200 dpi on the maximum dimension would fill the bill for nearly all but a full, one photo per page, layout. And then it would still come out pretty good.

  • 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.

  • 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.
