Go carefully through the book and verify that ALL text boxes have something in them - just a space will do

I used iphotos to create a photobook. I want to send the book to my aunt in the states but it won't allow me to do that. I was just wondering why it won't allow me to put in her address so the book can go directly to her home.

Is it possible to open iPhoto twice under os-x lion to create a photobook on one desktop and to have a look to the photos in full size on the other desktop?

Is it possible to open iPhoto twice under os-x lion, to create a photobook on one desktop and to have a look to the photos in full size on the other desktop?

Ok let me ask you IF the IT department of your workplace does NOT want OS X installed on "THEIR" (The Companies) computers because of what they think is some type of security issue why are you trying to go against their wishes and install OS X on a computer that is NOT owned by you.
That could cost you your job.
If you continue down this path you will screw up the Windows install and have to take the system back to the IT department to get it fixed. What do you think they will say at that point?
Do as you like but you would be better off just buying your own Mac computer if you are set on using OS X as your personal operating system.

Creating a photobook in iPhoto 09

I have created a photobook in iPhoto which I am very happy with. I have added text but when I click on the tab 'Buy It' I get a message saying .....Your book appears to have default text that has not yet been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue with your order?....
I really don't want to get the book printed without the text. I have tried using the default text but I still get the same message. I want to record in pictures and text the first year of my granddaughter life.
Does anyone kindly have a solution to my problem.
Thank you and happy new year to all Mac Fans
Maggi

that means that some place there is the latin default text unedited and it will not print - your text will - and 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.
That is the only way to be positive of what you are getting

How can i create a photobook with a layout that respect standard photo format?

I used iphoto to create a photobook but there is serious problem, i can use only fixed layout and this layouts are problems.
I can't put my shoot in standard photographic format, so i need to zoom and move my photo to fit well in your fixed layout.
I can't change the composition of all my shoots to fit in wrong layout.
There is a way to disable layout and put manually the photo in original format on pages?
Thank you
Mario Aprea

iPhoto books can only be created using the fixed templetes supplied - you can not modify them
I have no idea what a "standard Photographic Format is" - neither I nor Google knows that that is
So I do not understand what you want to do
One possible suggestion is that in a book you can right click on a photo (in most temes) and use the fit to frame option to show an entire photo that is in the wrong dimensions

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
Anything else you can tell us that might help?

PSE 8 some photos will not autoimport when creating an photobook and block the whole sequence. Are there knows reasons why individual photos can hang the import? Thanks Michael

When creating photobooks with PSE 8 I find occasionally that certain photos block the autoimport function and none of the sequence are loaded into the new photobook. Using the identical setting to create a photobook other sequences of photos work perfectly. The photos have been checked and found and all are connected and recognised. Are there knows issues with some photo formats which will not autoimport when creating a photobook?
Thanks for the help.
Michael

Sometimes LR can be "nudged" into showing folder relationships which better match the file system, by using the "show parent folder" command. When existing folders appear as if they were "top level" in the drive, we can see a more or less virtual picture of the situation, rather than anything real. So newly added folders can sometimes present themselves as if independent of what is already there.
By forcing LR to show a fuller hierarchy of folders, more attention gets paid to the actual arrangement - so new and existing folders should "wake up" and thereafter appear more reliably in the right relationships.

I have set up my photos in Adobe Elements 12 organiser and wish to download them to Snapfish in order to create a photobook, but it seems I am unable to do this. Adobe do not provide a hardcopy photobook service

I have set up my photos in Adobe Elements 12 organiser and wish to download them to Snapfish in order to create a photobook, but it seems I am unable to do this. Adobe do not provide a hardcopy photobook service. Can anyone help me please? I don't want to have to reformat all my photos. It has taken me the whole week to do it in Adobe Elements. I was unaware that Adobe no longer have this service as it misleadingly appears that they do.

You are in the wrong forum. We don't do Elements here.
This is the Photoshop proper forum. There's no "Organizer" (American spelling) in Photoshop.
The "Elements" forum is here:
Community: Photoshop Elements | Adobe Community
Incidentally you are not addressing Adobe here.
I've been using Adobe products for very, very close to 30 years, and I have never hear of an "Adobe photo book service".

Edit in iPhoto when in photobook mode when have external editor

I have not figured out a way to edit in iPhoto when in photobook mode. No matter what, it jumps me to the external editor. Sometimes I just want to crop my photo into a portrait orientation from landscape or vice versa so the photobook treats it that way for layout purposes. Especially with the copying issue going on now with an external editor, this is becoming annoying. It takes a little while for my external editor to load the photo anyways.... and all that malarky for cropping it?
Please help!!!
Maybe I could turn off external editor for my default, but would that mean I wouldn't be given the option to edit in an external editor????

I did try that and that seems to work.... but still it seems that in photobook mode, you are limited to only one editor.... whatever you have made as your default editor in your preferences. So, I suppose each time you want to do an edit in the external editor (if set up like as discussed above), you need to go into your preferences and switch it around, then back again once the edit is done.

In Elements 8 if I create a Photobook how can I maintain picture resolution?

If I create a Photobook in PSE8, the picture resolution is reduced by PSE so that the resulting print is of poor quality. Is there anyway that I can get around this and/or is this different in PSE9?

IPhoto creates duplicates when I click "Edit"?

I've just upgraded to iPhoto '11 and installed it on my new 15" MBP, imported my old iPhoto library, and everything seems lovely.
BUT: whenever I click "Edit in external application," iPhoto creates a duplicate of the photo, and sends the duplicate to Photoshop. When I quit photoshop, the duplicate image remains in iPhoto. This duplicate remains even if I don't make any changes in Photoshop.
Is this a new behavior? It's pretty frustrating. Any way to turn it off?

Very frustrating. I make a lot of panoramas, and I need to open four or more adjacent images at once to perform Photomerge in Photoshop. So now every time I do this, I'm going to have a whole bunch of pointless duplicates cluttering up my drive? What was the thought behind this?
Yes, I'll certainly provide feedback, and I also hope/trust Apple is reading these discussions...

Does iphoto create a second copy during import?

If I upload photos from my SDHC card into a directory that I designate, and then import them into iPhoto, does iPhoto create a second copy of the image file?

Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
If you're using a Managed Library then this backs up everything: Photos, metadata, edits, books, slideshows and all.
If you want to just back up the Photos then File -> Export is the way to go.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
There is never a need to go into the Library package.

Why does iPhoto create subfolders for an album?

I have have about 20 albums in iPhoto, and I've never had an issue until recently. I created a new album, and have been dragging pictures into the album over the past 4 months or so (it's to update progress on the construction of our new house). When I drag photos into the original album, iPhoto creates a subfolder within the original album. The outcome is that I have 92 "untitled album"s within the original album. Worse, when I sync my phone and want to have this album on my phone, the original album doesn't show up on my list of albums, but the 92 untitled albums do. Is there a setting that I'm missing? This had never happened with the other 20 or so albums I have on iPhoto.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

No thumbnails if iPhoto creates message via Tell a Friend in Mail app.

Hello,
this worked fine here until some days ago:
when I wanted to "Tell a Friend" about my new MobileMe gallery a clicked on the envelope in iPhoto (Tell a Friend) and iPhoto created a message containing Thumbnail, name of the gallery etc. Now all files including thumbnail, View button etc show their names only, no thumbnail, no buttons etc., they just displays like attachments included in text with their filenames.
Any solution?
Thanks, Juraj.

I found a message, where on the place which should show icon and the name of .docx file (attachment) it says "Missing Plug-in. This is surely something which is connected to this topic....
Pity I am not able to post a PrintScreen here...
