Iphoto error message: unable to assemble book

iphoto error message: "unable to assemble book" when i'm trying to place an order.

Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and create a preview copy as described in this Apple document, . If that is successful preview the PDF copy before ordering the book from the Safe Mode.
Keep the PDF file to compare with the printed copy when you receive it.
By any chance are you ordering an XL sized book?

Unable to assemble book error message

After selecting buy book, the bar says assembling book then quickly comes up with a error message saying unable to assemble book.* -[NSPlaceholderMutableString initWithString:]: nil argument . What is going on and how do I fix it.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It might be that you have left a text box empty. Look thru the pages and in any text box that has no text just put a space. Then try again.
If that doens't help, make a backup copy of the library and rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. Try again.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Re: book upload fails
Nov 30, 2013 3:02 PM (in response to pablo123)
Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.

Unable to assemble book

I have built a book in iPhoto, but cannot place the order for it, because I keep getting the following error message when the system tries to assemble the book:
file://localhost/Users/strandoutdoors/Desktop/Screen%20shot%202012-02-04%20at%20 9.31.46%20PM.png
In case the link doesn't work, here's what the error message says:
Unable to Assemble Book
There is a problem with the photo with the filename "(null)." The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.
Here's the problem:
I have moused over every image that is placed in the book, to check its assigned name, and cannot find any with the filename null.
Does anybody know how I could pin down which photo is giving me the trouble?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Interestingly, I got a similar error message, this one identified the pic, and when I look at the original, it doesn't show anything wrong wtih the pic. Here is the message I get:
There is a problem with the photo with the filename “DSCN3396.JPG.” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book.
This was JUST after doing a full rebuild (every checkmark, 7 hours it took) and so when I removed the picture and replace it with something else, I get the same error message with another pic (from the same roll, can they all be corrupt?).
Please help.

Unable to assemble book - help!!!

I painstakingly put together a collection of photo's for my first wedding anniversary and attempted place my order when iPhoto '08 crashed on me. The error I repeatedly keep getting is "Unable to Assemble book [NSPlaceholderMutableString initWithString:]: nil argument"
I am hoping that Apple doesn't ruin my Wedding Anniversary, but after repeated attempts, am beginning to lose hope.

After reading a few other posts from users with similar problems I finally managed to get the thing to work by changing the layout of pages for which I did not include text. It seems that Apple's software is not intelligent enough to realize that if a user does not input text, then that means that the *user does not want text to be printed*. As a recent switcher to the Mac environment I am appalled at what I am experiencing with applications by Apple. Apple fails where MS succeeds and vice-versa. Ah well... I guess you just can't expect ONE single company to make BOTH a stable OS and applications that work.

Workaround for "Unable to Assemble Book-NSPlaceholderMutable String issue

I got the problem when I was putting a book together. I tried to assemble the book and got the error "Unable to Assemble Book-NSPlaceholderMutableString initWithString: nil argument" The error seems to come up when the Title or Subtitle field is blank on the Cover of a Hardcover book.
I added a space to the empty text field (in my case the subtitle) and I was able to successfully place an order for the book.

Thank you very much, Anastassios!
I was stuck with my book, ready to print and wasted a lot of time asking around for what seemed to be a system error message string.
Now I resolved, following your workaround. In my case I had to edit ALL text frames I modified (deleting the default text, for instance) adding a simple space.
Thank you again.

Error message "Unable to load plug-in type"

Hi I used plugin registration tool and updated an existing plugin by a new dll.. and then afer that I started recieveing error messages on the CRM on our Dev environment. Error message "Unable to load plug-in type" it was registered for contact entity for
post create and update but we are getting this error on any entity updates and creates..
Any help on how to resolve this issue with be deeply appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Future MVP

While this thread is 3 years old, yet I just encountered the same problem about half an hour ago, and I believe this is a bug within CRM Solution Import routine.
What I had was a plugin which was imported previously. Then, I added new plugin steps and got 'Unable to load plugin type' when registering the new plugin steps I added.
The solution I have is:
a. Import just the plugin assembly without the new plugin steps, and publish.
b. The plugin assembly is now updated with the new plugin class definition. Then add the new plugin steps and import the solution again.
c. The solution should now be imported successfully.
What I believe the bug is CRM Solution Import routine checks for the plugin class/type definition in the existing plugin assembly in the server rather than the new plugin assembly in the solution being imported.
By the way, all solutions are unmanaged. Perhaps, the same bug will not happen in Managed solution.
HTH anyone else experiencing the same issue.

what i want to know is why it happen? is it a Bug? how can i solve it?

Hi,
There is a hotfix available to fix this issue, which updates the AX BizTalk Adapter and Schema assemblies.
If you are running Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 RTM (Build v5.0.593.x), the fix is included in AX 2009 RTM Hotfix
Rollup 4 Kernel.
If you are running Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Service Pack 1 (Build v5.0.1000.52 or v5.0.1500.x), the fix is included in AX 2009 SP1 Hotfix
Rollup 6 Kernel.
NOTE: To
check the version of the AX server version in use, find AX32SERV.EXE on your AOS servers, and chek the file properties.

Error message "Unable to parse opf file: container.xml"

The Message I get is
ERROR ITMS-9000: "Unable to parse opf file: container.xml" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
I have made the book in iBooks author- the previous version was fine, apple requested I "fix" it landscape mode. Since then... No Joy.

Yep, i just did it again. The entire scroll-bar widget, complete with formatted text, graphics, etc., pasted itself nicely in another book. Two different files, the same widget.
I use the scroll-bar widgets for most of my texts. (I have audio buttons on the side, and the scripts are within the widget, to the side). My only text is within widgets, and text boxes, naturally.
I am following your recommendation: cleaning files, etc. I am remaking the book anew. I need to convince the EPUB bot or whatever that my file looks and works nicely on all my devices. You would expect an error message when previewing the book: 'Hey Amigo, your file is flawed, stop working on it, and get back to the drawing board." Should be able to try again next Monday.

Why do I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502) when I try to open Mobile Web?

I have an LG Octane 3 basic phone.   Does everything I need, phone and text, and I never was interested in web or e-mail capabilities until I recently upgraded our plan to the "More Everything" and was able to use data and check e-mail and access the internet.   Whenever I try to open Mobile Web, I get the error message "unable to load page (HTTP 502)".    As of March 31, 2015, all of us basic phone users lose the "Mobile Email" app on our phones, and will have to access web versions of our e-mail via the web. Which is currently unavailable and doesn't work.
Over a week ago, did a chat session with a tech support rep, and she indicated that either she or an engineer would contact me with how to fix the problem.   Have not heard anything from anybody, and the deadline is approaching quickly.   Have no need of all the excess features of a smart phone, nor do I wish to be forced to jettison a perfectly working phone for my needs and buy something I don't want to be able to do 2 simple things.............check e-mail to see if there's something that needs to be answered right away, and to check traffic reports when I'm on the road, or find something in an area with which I'm not familiar.     Not really too much to ask, you would think....   )
Has anyone else had this same problem, and if so, how do we fix it....??? My next move is a phone call, but those haven't always been very productive.
If any of you have any ideas why this error keeps coming up and the web can't load, and some on how to fix it, I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.
Karen

Since the chat session got no reply, I contacted Verizon by phone and a very nice level 2 tech created a trouble ticket and sent it up the food chain. Got a call back, maybe 2 days later, and had a nice, although very long session with a higher level tech. They had determined that the browser for the LG Octane is an old one and no longer supported by Verizon.    We tried everything we could to download the Opera browser, but since I was totally unable to get Mobile Web to work, couldn't do it.   The only other possible "fix" was to totally reset the phone to factory specs and try it again.   That would mean a lot of work on my part to move anything I didn't want to disappear off the phone, and find a place to forward texts that had to be saved.   Caught our tenants lying about why the rent was late (again), and need that for when I put them back on a lease....
Long story short is that unless we try this total reset, which isn't a sure fix, either, anyone who isn't able to access the Mobile Web with the LG Octane will have to change their plan to avoid paying for data that you can't access using any method.
I ran a test with an app that I knew was no longer valid.....that was sending photos to PixPlace.   Got the exact same error message as when trying to access Mobile Web to get the web version of my e-mail.   That just verified that the 502 error is, at least in the LG Octane, for an app that no longer works.   After today, we'll get the same thing when we try to access Mobile E-Mail.
Have to admit, it's a real ****-off, but this shouldn't surprise me, since Verizon won't repair older copper phone lines if you are in an area where FIOS is offered.
I am going to immediately change my husband's and my cell phone plan to one without data, and see what I can find that will still give unlimited calls and text. The way my luck runs, they won't offer one for a decent price. The other half has some very long-winded friends and he was always running over minutes, and some months are very text-heavy and I'd go over my limit.   Absolutely HATE touch screens, and am not looking forward to having to get a new phone.

Error message: "Unable to load screen : root. ChangeLocation.ChangeLocationStart"

I paid for & downloaded zagat to go app from handmark & it fails to run on my bb tour. Here is the error message I keep getting on my bb tour - "Unable to load screen : root.

Dear nokia service manager,,
Iam sivakumar using the nokia N79 handset.Iam getting the message like this (Error message :Unable to open .File type not supported)when i was trying to open the video file shooted by some other camera.I have tried changing the format of the file..but no use ..i dont get ant suitable software converter in the internet.So kindly look into this matter as i need this very uregently...
hope its a mandatory feature as laptop and mobile interface are simple task nowadays in mobile...
pls reply me..its very urgent...thanku..

You could try Videora (http://www.videora.com/) - the downside here is that they have specific versions for specific phones, and sometimes it will makea file that plays perfectly in the desired phone but can't be shared to other models. The don't show a version for the N79, but try the N96 one because the N96 is the most similar OS to yours that they offer.

ERROR Message "UNABLE TO OPEN" and "E_IO_Cannot_Open"

Trying to download 6 ebooks from Hive and I can download the acsm file but when I click that I get an error message "Unable To Open" and "E_IO_Cannot Open." The computer is authorised and uses Win 7 with ADE 3. I tried ADE 4 but no better. I have an older PC using Vista and ADE 2 and that will download okay but it is constantly being used so it is not convenient. Does anybody know what's wrong? Thanks.

Hello,
To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
- the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
- usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
- could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
- have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
If no, download it and use it to attach
in the object explorer,
click on your instance to expand it
right click on databases
in the contextual menu, click on attach
in the new form,click on add
you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
Have a nice day
