IPhoto books - number of pages?

I am doing an iBook and need help as follows:
1. how many pages can I have in a hard cover book?
2. how much does it cost???? How much per added page?
3. how can I add pictures from other albums? I seem to nly have a very limited selection where I can draw pictures from, i.e. the album used to create the book, flagged album. I would like to add pictures from another album, but I can't seem to get it to show up in my media list.
Thanks,
GJ

To add additional photos to the book, open the album or event in the borowser and drag the photos to your book in the source list.

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. Help!

Trying to delete pages 21-24 on iPhoto book but "remove pages" option grayed out and pressing delete button not doing anything. These extra pages resulted from using Autoflow and now we can't seem to get rid of them. Help!

Good morning Old Toad.
I did as you suggested:
1) Booted from install CD.
2) Ran Disk Utilities on internal hard drive--no repairs necessary. For good measure, did the same thing on external drive. Also no repairs necessary.
3) Checked software update--no updates found. About this Mac said I was already running 10.4.7. For good measure, I downloaded the latest and installed it. Since it let me run the install, I'm not sure if I installed something new or reinstalled what I already had.
4) I rebooted from CD, ran disk utilities, ran repair disk--no repairs necessary. Repaired permissions and a lot of permissions repaired.
5) Tried to delete the files and the same old thing happened: kernel panic. The specific message:
panic(cpu 0 caller 0x00102A08): jnl: transaction too big (1587712 >= 1572352 bytes, bufsize 8192, tr 0x29f1fb0 bp 0x2801de40)
So there's no change in my status.
I'm trying to delete the files because:
A) They already take .5 Gb.
B) I can't get rid of them ever. If I move the problem files to a different folder, I can only do one successful drag-and-drop backup to the external drive until the "new" thumb segments become unerasable just like the previous versions and crash the system.
C) I can't even "just" drag and drop every file/folder except the thumbs, because that ends up crashing the system as well. So I have to drag and drop every file/folder in the iPhoto hierarchy individually. Which makes me less inclined to backup, which defeats the purpose of a backup.
D) After the iPhoto fiasco I'm just crabby about all the Apple screw-ups I'm experiencing and I want to get them fixed.
Thanks for your help. Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.

PDF preview of iPhoto book shows image degradation

For years I have made iPhoto books first designing pages with text and color imagery in InDesign, then exporting PDFs of the pages to iPhoto via Automator, and then placing the designed pages into blank pages of the iPhoto book. Prior to printing I preview the book by going to Preview in the print dialog box. The preview images have always been spot on regarding what the image quality of the finished book would be. Now I'm trying to make a large book incorporating both color and black and white images. These are elegant, black and white images that have been lovingly restored in Photoshop and feature full tonal ranges. They are TIFF images. Subsequent to making a small, trial run book, I discovered that if I kept the images as grayscale images, they printed too dark. AS a result of phone conversations with Apple and trying the Adobe discussion site, I found that if I resaved the BW images as RGB, the page PDFs I generated when exporting the pages out of InDesign reproduced the BW images perfectly. Likewise, throughout the process of assembling the new iPhoto book, when I placed the pages, the BW images looked gorgeous. However, just prior to uploading the book, I decided to preview the pages and generated a PDF preview in the print dialog box. Lo and behold, all the images show up noticeably different; the BW images lack good blacks--the dark areas seem distinctly muddy compared to the originals. Does anyone have a clue as to what is happening and how I might regain the original look? Thanks. I'm using iPhoto 11 with Snow Leopard on a new iMac.

I don't think you're doing anything incorrectly. I think that the inside page is automatic in the printing process and is not included in the pdf file that is created. Only the cover and pages 1-20 or whatever are added to the pdf file.

How do I reduce the number of pages in an iPhoto book from 100 to 50

How do I reduce the number of pages in an iPhoto book from 100 to 50. I have selected 153 photos to be put in the book and iPhoto automatically designated the book to be 100 pages in length.

If the auto place put photos on all 100 pages you'll need to reset the layout on the first 50 pages so all photos will fit in just those 50 pages. Then add the photos to the first 50 pages and delete the last 50 according to the link Larry provided.

I almost complete uploading a 32 page iPhoto book, on a number of occasions when I get an error message stating "An error occurred uploading your order" can anyone tell me why and provide a solution please?

I am having problems uploading a photo book from my MacBook Pro!!! I almost complete uploading this 32 page iPhoto book when I get an error message stating "An error occurred uploading your order" This error message has occurred for each of my four attemps to upload. I have carried out a Disk Utility-Verify hard drive check and swapped from wireless to ethernet and still no joy. Can anyone suggest why this might be occurring and provide a solution please?

Boot into Safe Mode and try again.

HT5525 Help adding text to the bottom of iPhoto book pages?

Hi -
I am working on a deadline (of course) to get an iPhoto book done for my parents' anniversary.
I have my photos placed, and have planned well to know how many characters can fit into each space below and next to photos in the text boxes provided.
I just tried my first page... it's a 6-photo page, with a little box at the bottom for a blurb.
When I click on it, it lights up blue, suggesting the space I have to work in.
Now, the frustrating part: As I start to type, it starts on the left side of the bottom of the page, but I only get about half-way across, and some invisible TAB seems to be in the text box. It starts my next word on the next line. I tried to use the align button, but even if I center the text, it stays on the far right side of the page, and significantly limits the number of words/characters I can use. Even if it causes me to be brief, which I can do, these tabs cause the look of the page to be out of balance.
Do you have any idea how I can get rid of tabs??
Thanks so much!
In a panic!

Iphoto Book with only 17 pages

Can I make a book with only 17, instead of 20 pages? I'm trying to delete the existing pages 18-20, but I can't figure out how. Or maybe I am forced to have a 20 page book....
Please advise.

No. The minimum number of pages in an iPhoto 11 book is 20.

What is the maximum number of photos in a iphoto book?

What is the maximum number of photos in an iphoto book?

Depends on the theme and the page layouts you - choose - a book has a maximum of 100 pages and as far as I have seen the most photos on a page is 16 - so 1600 would be the Max if you used 100 pages of 16 photos each
for an overview of page layouts for iPhoto '09 (all are still valid in iPhoto '11 - with some more added) see Liz Castro's web site - http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage

IPhoto book: Can I use less than 20 pages? and other questions...

Is 20 pages the minimum? I have just eleven photos. Is there a workaround for this? Also, the iPhoto preview looks fine, but I'm wondering what the file specs need to be. My original files are approx. 15 MB TIFF. Should they be jpeg? Resized? Does iPhoto (or Kodak) do this automatically? Thanks for any help.

TW3:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 20 pages is the minimum. I think it's due to the minimum number of pages that can be bound. I really doesn't matter about the tiff files as iPhoto creates a PDF file for uploading and printing. Just be sure they are RBG and not CMYK.
Do you Twango?
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.

Is there a maximum number of photos in an album for making an iPhoto book?

is there a maximum number of photos that you can upload into an iPhoto book from an album?
trying to make a book and only some of the photos from my album are there

No
There is a maximum numb of pages in a book (100 pages) and the larges page I am aware of holds 16 photos so the maximun number of photos you could have in a book would be 1600

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.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

Can I make an iPhoto book that is only 10 pages long?

I want to make a hardcover iPhoto book, but only have 15 photos to go into the book, so 20 pages is too many pages. Can anyone advise? Does iPhoto let you make a book that is less than 20 pages or do you have to fill that whole 20 pages in order to make the book? Thx

You don't have to fill those extra pages. Pick a blank page layout but not the all gray layout. That requires a photo for the background and you can't order the book unless it's been filled with a photo. Most of the themes have a layout that is essentially blank. Some, however, have the theme's colors which might not look good as a filler page.
If you have such a theme you can select a page with a photo background and use a blank, white image file to make that page a blank, white page or whatever you would like on the page. Create the page, landscape, in a text editor or other applications and use the Print->PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto menu option. This will create a jpg image file of that page and it's layout and import it into iPhoto where you can add it to the book.

Can I transfer an iPhoto Book project to a Pages file

Working on a long manuscript in Pages, including illustrations.
I have completed in iPhoto a Book Project relative to the Pages manuscript.
Is there a way to link the iPhoto project to the Pages file?
Or to transfer (cut and paste) the iPhone file into the Pages file as a separate section?
TIA
Lion, MacMini2011

you can preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF and use it with pages or any other program
There is not a book in iPhoto - just database entries - creating a PDF is the way to have a book

Creating iphoto book and can't seem to view/ work on only one page at a time.

I am creating an iPhoto book and can't seem to view/work on only one page at a time. The Navigator, that allows you to focus on a part of the page is actually 1 1/2 pages in size so 1 1/2 pages are in view when trying to work on one page. What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this. It is very distracting viewing half of a previous page when trying to create a new page and write a story to go with the related pictures.

My Navigator seems to be to large. It covers 1 1/2 pages while in the training information it shows as the size of one page. Is there a way to adjust the size of the Navigator?
You can hover the mouse over the left border of the Navigator - then the cursor will turn into a resize cursor and you can drag the border and make the Navigator panel smaller by enlarging the source list.
Or drag the lower right corner of the iPhoto window and shrink the appliaction window. This will only make the navigator smaller - the source list and information panel will stay the same size.
