IPhoto calendar won't complete uploading?

The uploading process to producing a calendar in iPhoto is freezing about halfway through. Any ideas?

Try to upload in Safe Mode, that will exclude many problems that might be caused by incompatible software, firewalls, and antivirus software.
To boot into Safe Mode see:
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Also check, if your book can be rendered at all by creating a preview of the book. If your book should contain a photo, that is not printable, the book may fail to upload.
See this link:  iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
Keep the preview for future reference, until you receive the printed book.

  • IPhoto library won't complete upgrade

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.3 and when I opened the program, it said that my iPhoto library (1.47GB) needed to be upgraded as well. The blue bar says step 9 of 9 100% complete, but it won't go away and the white spinning icon thing keeps spinning and spinning for hours and now I have to force quit the program to get it to stop. I've tried reinstalling the program as well as reinstalling the iPhoto library from a back up disk to run the upgrade over again and it remains stuck. I have no idea what to do, please help. I'm running Lion btw.

    It should be noted that there is no "Rebuild Library" option when you start iPhoto with option-command. 
    There are 4 radio buttons choices, the one that seems to work is the fourth one : "Rebuild Database".

  • IPhoto ugrade won't complete after Mavericks instal

    I recently installed Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 on my late-2011 model 15" MacBook Pro. At the same time, iPhoto was upgraded to version 9.5.1.  When I tried to open iPhoto a message appeared that stated the photo library needed to be upgraded to work with the new version of iPhoto and that upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.   
    I began the upgrade. The iPhoto upgrade proceeds to "step 4 of 11 (100% complete)" and then goes no further. I have left it at that stage for periods of more than 12 hours just in case the upgrade needed an inordinate amount to move past stage 4 (I have a very large photo library).  But I suspect mere time cannot be the issue.
    As a note, when I first initiated the iPhoto upgrade process, I believe it may have reached step 9 of 11, but appeared to stall there and then was interrupted.  I have stopped and re-started the upgrade numerous times.  I never get past step 4. 
    I point out that I maintain a second "test" user account on the same computer.  I hadn't previously used The iPhoto application in that account, so it's empty.  I switched to this account to do a test: The new version of iPhoto there opened without an issue and I was able to download a photo to it.
    I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to overcome my stalled iPhoto upgrade so I can get back access to my photos.  Thanks.

    Success!  Thank you, a brody.
    This morning I took your suggestion and started a rebuild of the Photo library.  It took about six hours to do so, but when it was complete iPhoto was open and all my photos were accessible.  However, only a very few of the thumbnails showed; the rest represented by dotted boxes.  Because the computer was not indicating that any further activity was in progress, I thought perhaps the process was not entirely successful.  I closed IPhoto and reopened it.  Before it would open completely, it gave me the option of doing a thumbnail rebuild, which I did.  About five hours later the thumbnail rebuild was complete and iPhoto is working again.
    Thanks again for you suggestion.  Much appreciated.

  • 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.

  • I was recently prompted to update iPhoto and make changes to the library.  I did it but it keeps hanging up in step 5 or 6 and won't complete the cycle.  I have used force quit, rebooted and started again several times.  How do i get this to work?

    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.
    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

  • When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, but it won't let me import my pictures. And when I want to close iPhoto it says "Photos being uploaded to iPhoto library, please wait to finish uploading," but I am not uploading anything.

    When I try to upload pictures onto iPhoto, it shows up, however it won't upload. The "import" button, I can't click on it. It won't upload. And when I want to close out the window of iPhoto, it won't close, I get a message saying "photos being uploaded to iPhoto library," but i can't even upload. This has been like this since late April...

    What version of iPhoto?
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • IPhone 3Gs won't sync/upload to iPhoto

    I upgraded from the original iPhone to the 3Gs and now iPhoto won't import photos from it. It still works with the original iPhone. When I plug in the 3Gs, iTunes comes up but not iPhoto. If I go to iPhoto to do it manually, it can't find the 3Gs. Shutting down the compute, turning off the iPhone and switching the usb port don't wok. everyone's advice to click on the mythical "synch to iPhoto" button won't work because that button doesn't seem to be available on my computer.
    PLEASE help me! I have almost 30 photos I would like to get off my iPhone!
    thank you

    On windows you can upload when the phone is connected for sync by using the autoplay window that pops up and select "import photos and videos", if you can't get the upload in a similar way on your Macbook dust off your old windows machine then transfer. Make sure you have iTunes on the PC. I used Windows Live Photo Gallery but you probably can use any windows viewer then save.
    If that isn't available I suggest you email to self or upload video to Youtube, Long way round but at leaset can use the photos until a fix is deemed necessary by the apple Gods.

  • Iphoto calendar creation won't let me make a calendar more than 12 months long even though I have chosen a 14 page calendar

    In iphoto calendar creation, I have selected a 13 month calendar from December 2012-December 2013, wanting 13 pages.  I have selected all my photos for the year and have started placing them in the Calendar.  I'm at October and noticed that December is missing.  Thought maybe i didn't request a 13 month calendar, but I have.  Seems like the more months I want in the calendar, the end months keep dropping off.  If i want a 14 month calendar starting in November 2012, then November and December 2013 are then gone. so....I changed it over and over trying to get the months back, but to no avail.  I've created a new empty project calendar, requesting 13 months, and all 13 months are there.  Problem is.....how do I get all the pictures from the old calendar over to the new ones without having to reselected 200 pictures again?  Or is there a way to fix the original missing pages?  Thanks.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
    In that case make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto 11 won't launch and crashes every time I try to rebuild the library. Urgh.

    iPhoto 11 won't launch- it's another case of an infinite skinny wheel. I've tried rebuilding the library numerous times, each time it takes about a day and each time it crashes near the end. This is just ridiculous. Any tips folks?
    APPLE if you can hear me... shouldn't you be testing this stuff prior to release? I know you do but I mean, like REALLY testing it? This is my second iPhoto upgrade disaster. The last time I lost my entire library, had to spend £80 on recovery software that recovered not only most of my photos, but every image cached on my machine. So then I had the fun of sorting through literally thousands of images...
    And I only got the upgrade becasue my iPhone is refusing to sync, freezing on the iPhoto bit. Gah.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.

  • ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

    It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
    When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
    Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
    As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
    Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
    Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

    The iPhoto Library Upgrader tool doesn't work. I've downloaded it, and follow the directions, but iPhoto still won't open.

    Your Library is damaged.
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.  
    As for goign back: do you have an undamaged library?

  • My iPhoto 2 won't import videos from my camera, only photos.

    Like the title says, my iPhoto 2 won't import any videos from my Cannon SD1000 digital camera, only photos. A friend says it's because I have an old version of iPhoto, which is true, but when I looked for updates it basically told me I need to purchase a new version of iLife. What can I do about getting a newer version of iPhoto, or making it so it imports videos? It's inconvient using the softwear that came with the camera only for a few videos. Thanks, I could use any help.

    JordanFox,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
    Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
    Regards.

  • IPhoto Calendar - download problems

    Have tried 4 times to send completed iPhoto Calendar for printing. Each time it is rejected with following error message :
    'Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results. '
    Can anyone please explain what this means and more importantly what I now have to do ?
    Many thanks.

  • I am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch.

    am having trouble with iPhoto-it won't launch and leaves a blank white screen box and spinning wheel of death-if I re-install software-will I lose all photos and faces settings? Any ideas-this is a Mac Pro and Xserve school system.
    It seemed to stem from when I was transferring some movie footage from an HD camcorder to iMovie.
    This is a school system and I'm worried I may lose many photos and face recognition data.
    Phil

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    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
    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.
