IPhoto unable to order book

Have been unable to order a book from iPhoto for about 2 months now. At first I put it down to the coupon offer overloading the servers, but still no joy after the coupon ended.
The book assembles ok, but on transferring the data it doesn't get past 0Kb. The error message in the console reads:
10/05/2008 17:04:31 iPhoto[1484] ISCoordinator responseFromUploadFiles: error...
MessengerContext = <ISNewMessengerContext: 0x1e417b30>;
Retry = YES;
Status = ERROR;
I have checked for empty text boxes etc as suggested by some people. Am running 10.5.2 on a MacBook Pro 2.33GHz. iPhoto version 7.1.3 (364). Was definitely able to order books pre-Leopard.
Any help appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. This Apple KB document just was released and may be of some help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1139.
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. 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.

Unable to order book in iPhoto iOS

Hi,
I have created a book in iOS iPhoto but can not seem to place the order. Basically after adding the address (which matches the country selected in the iPhoto Store, i.e., Spain) it begins processing and after asking to sign in to my iTunes account (which is for Portugal) I get the message saying that the account does not have sufficient info to complete the request, and tells me to update it going to settings>Store and update account info.
PLease help. Is this a conflict due to the fact thar the iPhoto store location is Spain but my Apple ID is Portuguese? If this is the case do I need to create a Spanish ID account in order to place the order?
Thanks

If this is the case do I need to create a Spanish ID account in order to place the order?
The country of your AppleID with the billing address and the country of the Print Products store must match. The credit card used with the AppleID must also be valid in the country of the Print Products store.
See this support article for more information.

Unable to order book printing

Hello,
I am living in Spain and I'm having trouble buying a book using iphoto 11.
When I click to (buy book), this is the message that appears:
"An error occurred while contacting the Apple Online Store. Please try again."
I have two days trying to place my order and nothing happens!!
please HELPPPPPP!!!!!

I had exactly the same issue.
Then I discovered that iPhoto menu -> Preferences... -> Advanced -> > Print Products Store was set to "none". I changed that to my own country and then it worked, I could place the order.
So, do check if this helps.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
The most common occurrence of this is a temporary problem at the Apple servers - have you tried again after several hours?

I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto.

I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto. It has never happened to me before and I have ordered plenty of books in the past few years. Any ideas why the order button is suddenly greyed out?

Unable to order iphoto book

Using iphoto 09 (v8.1.2), created a photo book but when I try to order using the Buy Book option I am unable to get past the order book window. This window shows the order details, it provides a new set up account option but does not provide an existing account option, I already have an existing apple store account. The account window and quantity options are greyed out.

the answer is
go to the Apple store and re-enter (do not just verify but re-enter) all of your account information there and try
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.
And no it does not screw you up - it fixes the problem

After downloading the new iphoto version 7.1.5, I am unable to order my iPhoto book (as I have done several times before). I receive and error message that says
"An error occurred while confirming your account information."
I checked my account and internet connectivity and all is fine. only iPhoto is not working.
Suggestions?

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 order prints anymore... weird iPhoto error

Hey there,
I'm unable to order prints from iPhoto anymore, it started before the 8.1.1 update. When I start to upload photos to the Kodak server, after 2Mo is transmitted it bugs. In the console I have the following mysterious error :
25/11/09 23:11:00 iPhoto[6419] PUT /Documents/49519329/image_0.jpg (FAILED), httpStatusCode:402, errorType:100, transactionState:5, txnId:A749349E-5655-4459-8EC0-E92E465EC788, auto-retries=0, manual-retries=0

MessengerContext = <ISNewMessengerContext: 0x199b9fa0>;
Retry = YES;
Status = ERROR;
StatusCode = 402;
}

I wondered, reading the output from the Error you posted, if it was having trouble finding particular photos:
/Documents/49519329/image_0.jpg (FAILED)
How are you uploading to the Kodak Server? With an app, a plugin to iPhoto, some other way?

Unable to order iphoto prints & calendar

How can I update from iphoto 7.1.5? The current iPhoto version available at the Mac store can't be installed with OS 10.6.8 snow leopard
error message: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products."

Do I need to copy the entire library over to the new computer?
Yes.
Will this delete the photos on my mac currently?
No as long as you don't copy it to the Pictures folder of your new MBP and overwrite your library there. Copy it to the Desktop and open it from there. You'll need to download and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 to the library before you try to open it with your version of iPhoto. The updater will be downloaded to your Applications/Utilities folder.

I currently have iPhoto 6.0.6, and can no longer order books. Do I have to get a new operating system, or just update my iPhoto to the next level.

I currently have iPhoto 6.0.6. I am no longer able to order books from this iPhoto. Can I upgrade to the next iPhoto without purchasing a new operating system?

This thread might help: what does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.

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.
Do you Twango?

Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

Some additional efforts you can try:
Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.

IPhoto Upgrade iBook G4 so can continue to order books & prints?

Hi,
Trying to determine the lowest v iPhoto upgrade for continued ability to order books and prints...would that be the iPhoto version in iLife 05? ...don't want/need GarageBand, iDVD, etc., just iPhoto! Recommendations appreciated.

This page
http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/ordering_options/
tells us that you can order books with v6 or later.
You can place orders for Print Products using iPhoto 6, iPhoto '08, and iPhoto '09, as well as Aperture 2.
As you're on 10.4.11 you might want to go to iPhoto 08 as it's the highest you can run, and will probably be easier to find. Note that you cannot upgrade to any version without purchasing the iLife suite.

Error message doesn't allow iPhoto to connect to order books/prints

i get this messager repeatedly while trying to order books, prints, and publish my photos via my .mac account. AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE CONFIRMING YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION. PLEASE CHECK YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION AND TRY AGAIN. i already checked time/date, my connection is fine, my computer is clean, what can this be?????

I am experiencing this same problem tonight. Did you resolve this problem? If so, how? This is the first time this has happened to me. I know it's not a problem with my account, because I am able to sync my iDisc, log into my .mac account on Safari, etc. The problem seems to be limited to iPhoto.
