IPhoto Book...won't let me order!!

I'm trying to buy a book I made...get the message that there is an empty frame that needs to be filled or change layout.  I have checked and rechecked...there is no empty frame!  What do I do?  It won't let me order the book with this block...

Empty frame ??  Photo or text??
FOr a missing photo the situation almost laways is a full page photo hidden behind another full page photo - you will hav eto go through your book and check full page photo to see if there is a background photo missing behind it - then
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 '08 Won't let me order book

    Hey guys-
    I'm trying to create a book in iPhoto '08. The book is made, no gray fields for photos, anything. When I click on the "buy book" button, it gives me an error message saying that al of the fields are not filed in an thus cannot order a book, however when I create a book without anything in it, it goes through to the order page just fine. Any help with this? Has anyone had a similar problem? Thanks!!!!

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    If you do not have a missing photo (you state that the error "missing field" - is this correct?) then you probably have a text field with nothing in it - every text field on the cover , inside cover and on page layouts has to have something in it - even if it is only a single space
    If the message is re photos then read this discussion.

  • I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?

    I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

  • Iphoto says I have the wrong address and won't let me order the book. What is the problem?

    Why doesn't iphoto let me order the book I composed? They say I have the wrong address yet it is my address.

    What Print Products Store do you have iPhoto linked to in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane?
    Is it the correct one for where you address is?

  • IPhoto books disappeared before I could order!

    Our beloved cat died two nights ago, and my son and I have made two iPhoto books about his life. My son's book was done yesterday, so we ordered it, which went fine. Today I opened iPhoto to finish mine, and it was missing from "projects" as was my son's, and several other projects.
    I tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but that didn't help. What can I do? I am devastated.

    I forgot to mention, iPhoto has also been crashing since last night after we ordered my son's book. I have never used time machine, but I guess that is what I will try next if nobody has any ideas that help. But I hope you do! Thanks.

  • Help. Need iPhoto Book Specs / Anyone who has order a book or knows?

    I'm getting ready to scan my color photos and then place an order for a iPhoto book. I'll set my scanner to decrease or enlarge (75%..100%.. 200%) for whatever size I need. I need to know the specs the photos should be scanned at for max quality and / or the order requirements.
    300 DPI CMYK TIFF? (regular offset printer specs)
    72 DPI RGB JPEG?
    Or other?
    Does it matter if it's a TIFF or JPEG? Tiff's can be uncompressed so perhaps better quality, but larger file size to send when ordering a book.
    Is there a max about of total megs the book can be or not be for it to be accepted when ordering? Is there a max meg size that I need to stay under for each image?
    I'm not looking for a long theory on dpi and ppi, I know all that, just need to know the requirments for these iPhoto books. I'm almost certain it's the first, offset printer specs. Just want to double check before I scan.
    Thanks.

    Yes. 300 DPI is the standard for printing on an offset press. So is CMYK. I'm positive the printing company that Apple is using is converting the .pdf files to a CMYK profile that matches their printing press. This is the only way for them to make the 4 color plates. If you look at an sRGB image on screen it may look great but when printed in CMYK, as the books are printed, it might look darker.
    See this Apple help:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93298%22
    To test this, open an sRGB image in PS and go Image > Mode > Convert to profile. Select US Sheet Fed Coated or US Web Coated. You can see how the color shifts. Usually CMYK is darker than RGB. Dark details in an RGB image that looks acceptable can get muddy when printed on an offset printing press in CMYK.
    From what I've learned in graphic arts, printers suggest if you're concerned about color shifting, then do the image correction in CMYK and placing images in your document in CMYK. That way you have a better representation of what the final image will look like once it's printed. (aside monitor calibration) This is the standard procedure that I'm familiar with when working with images that will be printed in brochures and catalogs and so on.
    Questions:
    How did you find out that the images MUST be sRGB?
    What would happen if you used a corrected CMYK image?
    Did you compare your actual sRGB image to the final printed book and see if there was a color shift?
    The reason for my concern is that I have some old photos that have bad shadow detail and color shifted with age. In sRGB they look okay but when they get printed on the CMYK press I'm concerned they might get muddy in dark areas. This is why I wanted to correct them in CMYK, get them to look good, then place them in the book.

  • Iphoto albums won't sync in order on iPad

    Since iOS6 came out I haven't been able to sync photo albums made in iphoto with my ipad.  I have the photo albums sorted by title in iphoto and before they would sync over to my ipad in that correct order, but now when I try to sync them over they appear in a completely different order.  So I was just wondering how I can get albums from iphoto to sync in the correct order on my ipad?

    I have asked this same question numerous times at the Apple store and have not received an answer.  I worked with an Apple rep via phone for 2 hours who said I needed to wipe the (new) iPad clean and re-set up the iPad as new, with the photos and then the issue would be resolved. Not! I still have the same problem.  Events on my Mac are in date order (as the events are labeled in iPhoto) from most current to oldest.  You can imagine without the events being in order how difficult it is to find a particular event (no less a single photo) in over 14,000 photos.
    By accident I did discover that the events are in chronologic order in the wall paper setting on the iPad so it is possible for this to occur on the iPad but not in iPhoto on the iPad?!?!?
    Has ANYONE found a solution to this?

  • Iphoto book won't submit - hangs up on map page

    I created a 52 page iphoto book in Old World format and created a map page with 4 locations in 2 continents. iphoto hangs up on this page when I try to purchase book. If I eliminate some of locations on map page, or eliminate map page totally, iphoto will allow book to be submitted. Brought this to attention at Genius Bar -they also re-created problem on one of their computers. They also tried other book formats and also had same problem with multiple locations in different continents. Any fixes or do I have to wait for iphoto upgrade?

    There's a way around this possibly. See if you can create a PDF for previewing by starting a print job of the book and using the PDF->Save as PDF. If you can create a PDF of the book with the maps the following is a way to get the maps into iPhoto as image files:
    1 - open the PDF in Preview, go to the first map page in the PDF (note the Page number) type Command+P.
    2 - in the Print window click on the Pages radio button and put in the page number in both fields.
    3 - click on the PDF button at the bottom and select *+Save PDF to iPhoto option+.* This will create a jpg file of the page and import it into iPhoto.
    4 - repeat for each map in the PDF book.
    5 - add the map jpgs to the book in iPhoto.
    6 - go the the first map page in the book, change the format to the one that uses a photo for the full page background.
    7 - drag the appropriate map photo onto that page. Do the same for the other maps.
    f you want to increase the dpi of those map page jpgs you will need to edit the Automator workflow "Save PDF to iPhoto.workflow" so that the dpi is 300 (the maximum needed for books). That workflow is located in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder. I would change the dpi to 300 and save the changed workflow as a new one titled "Save PDF to iPhoto 300 PPI.workflow" in the same location.
    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.

  • Ordering books-iphoto 08 won't let me buy books i made in previous versions

    help! i just upgraded last night to iphoto08, but tried to order books i'd made in previous versions today and i'm getting the message that "item is not available" or something to that effect. the books show up as i made them, but i can't order hard copies. do i have to recreate the books? or is there something i can do?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I had a book, the Storybook theme, in progress when I converted. iPhoto gave me a warning that the theme was no longer available but I could continue with the as long as I didn't try changing to another theme and then change back. However, that theme had the dust jacket feature instead of the photo on the front cover.
    If you still have or have access to iPhoto 6 you could create a new library and recreate the book with that theme and see if you can order it. I'm thinking of trying the same thing.

  • Incomplete book message won't let me order 2nd copy of iPhoto book

    I have been trying to BUY a 2nd copy of a 90 pg photo book but message says it is INCOMPLETE & I must "drag a photo to place in background" which I already completed perfectly for the 1st book (and received it). 
    I have redone the pages in question over & over but nothing is accepted...what could be problem?  Don't want to spend another month starting a new book over again.

    what ever
    It would be a lot easier to go though each page of the book and verify tha tthe page background is a color rahter that a missing photo - what you do is up to you
    Well that indicates that there is a photo missing
    have you deleted any photos from iPhoto or tided up your disk since you ordered?
    Go thorough the book carefully and verify that all photo frames are filled in - the most common cause of this error- is a page background out requiring a photo with the missing photo hidden behind a layout that includes photos that are there

  • IPhoto 6-won't let me buy a book!

    So I decided to make a book as a suprise to the grandparents this year...finally collated all of the pictures, did the layout...clicked 'buy'
    it gives me the warning that I have some lo-res photos...I know this & understand & don't care, I still want them in the book the way I laid it out...so I click 'ok' to the "One or more photos in your book may print at too low a quality based on the design you have chosen. Do you want to continue?" prompt...
    at which point NOTHING happens....I quit, I restart...nada...bupkis...same thing
    anyone else seen this? any ideas on where to go from here?
    TIA

    Michael:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's not the low res issues that's preventing the process from going further. It seems to be an issue with the application. First run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. See if that will help.
    If you have another account you can log into it, create a test book with a couple of images and see if you can start the purchase procedure over there (you can abort the process as soon as you get to the order window). If it doesn't work there then it's probably a problem with the application and you'll need to reinstall it. as follows:
    >Reinstall iPhoto, update to 6.0.4 and then again to 6.0.5 ( the 6.0.5 updater works only 6.0.4). The repair disk permissions again. I'd make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file inside your library folder just in case. It will get you back to your current situation in the library in case of any problems. If you have room a temp copy of the entire iPhoto Library folder would be a good idea also. You don't want to jeopardize the work you've put into the book.
    If you do try a reinstall of iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    If it work in the other account then there's an incompatibility in your primary account and you'll need to do some more troubleshooting. Give the above a try and post back.

  • IPhoto 08 won't let me buy a book

    I keep getting a message telling me that there are frames without photos, even though all frames and text boxes are full. Help - I need to order asap for Xmas.

    I am having the same problem and now my book is all horked after trying desperately to get it to work. I thought Mac software "just worked"... anyone have an answer here? I would hate like **** to take my photos to FlickR and have to create another book.

  • IPhoto 11 won't let me buy book due to unplaced photos, but they are there!

    I have created many photo books in both iPhoto and Aperture and this has not happened before.  I click on the Buy Book button and it says I have unplaced photos and takes me to a page that clearly has all the photos placed. Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    You are missing one or more photos - usually on a page requireing a full page photo that is behind places photos - every page must have either a photo or a colored background - if you have any grey backgrounds thoses are problems - in several years I've never seen that error be incorrect

  • My iPhoto book won't upload

    When trying to order my book in iPhoto, the book assembles and then I get an error while the book tries to Upload. I need a fix as soon as possible. I have about 7 books I wanted to order before the Free Shipping promotion ends today. Can anyone help me?  I'm currently using the most up to date version of iPhoto. I've rebooted my computer. I've closed down iPhoto and reloaded it. I've followed Apple's suggestions about what to do if I haven't been able to upload the book for more than 24 hours.

    Try to upload after booting your Mac in Safe mode.  The mac will be slower, but safe mode will disable non standard extensions that might be interfering with the connection to the App Store.
