Iphoto won't assemble a book
I have an imac 9,1 running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and I am trying to order a book using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 (424). I've assembled and ordered books in the past and never had a problem. When I try to preview or assemble or order the book, iphoto stops assembling the book at page 2 (out of 30) and then freezes. The only way to get out of iphoto then is to force quit. I have the exact same problem in safe mode. Can you offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
There is probably a photo on your page 2 that is corrupted and cannot be printed. Make a copy of your book and delete the photos from page 2. Then try to preview that copy. Does that work?
If yes, try to find out, which of your photos is causing this and replace it by a different photo.
If deleting page two (or three) does not help, try, if you can preview any book at all. Create a new book for testing. Does it work?
If not, backup and rebuild your iPhoto Library., see this support document: iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
Post back, if that still will not fix it.

Entire computer crashes when assembling photo book in iPhoto '08 (ver 7.1)
OK,
I added a new thread with version 7.1 in the title instead of 7.0.2, since the problem has persisted into the latest release.
For exhaustive information about the bug and crash, as well as how to reproduce it, check out this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1122635&tstart=0
Thanks, ---> KelseyOver the weekend I did the following:
1) Backed up my entire computer
2) Booted from the Mac OS X install DVD, launched Disk Utility, and erased my entire hard drive
3) Installed Mac OS X from scratch (version 10.4.7 was on the DVD) along with the base applications
4) After the install, I logged in and ran software update until iLife '06 was patched up, and 10.4.10 was loaded with all security updates
5) Inserted iLife '08 disk -- installed iPhoto '08
6) Launched iPhoto '08, made sure it was working fine (with a library of NO Photos)
7) Restored a copy of my iPhoto library to my hard drive
8) Launched iPhoto '08 again (made sure it was STILL version 7.0.1), and saw that my book was there along with all of my photos, etc...
9) Attempted to purchase my book. And the result was: On page 28 of 32 -- CRASH of the entire computer.
Here's a picture of it: http://www.kmcode.com/misc/errors/iphoto08crash.jpg
Sorry, had to take a quick snapshot with the digital camera. It doesn't do well up close and such...
Anyways. This bug exists regardless of which version of iPhoto '08 you are running. I'm very peeved about it, for I spent an entire weekend backing up my computer, hunting down the original disks, reinstalling Mac OS X from scratch, downloading software updates -- and it still crashes the entire computer when I try to assemble a book or generate a PDF of the book. I am at wits end with this. And as stated before -- I can in fact create a book with autoflow with the exact same photographs, and it will send to PDF just fine. You just can't adjust the photo attributes! -
When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).Try Old Toad's solution here: See Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

Assuming you are trying to do an iPhoto photo book (iBook is a computer assembled in China) in iPhoto for the Mac
Will it preview -
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.
do you get any error messages - what exactly do you mean by "will not assemble"?
We only know what you tell us so details are critical

I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion. I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!
Please! I need an answer fast!!!!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.
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. .

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?
Regarding not being able to open iPhoto. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
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 #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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 won't open due to the not being updated but when I check to upgrade to iPhoto 11 it tells me it is installed. The photos in the library were modified using 9.1.5 and the iPhoto is said to be 7.1.5 (iPhoto 8). Any ideas?
How do you know the library was modified with iPhoto 9 (11)? If you've never had iPhoto 9 on your Mac it could'nt have. It sounds like a damaged library. 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.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2

iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.
Sounds like you have a damaged library7 To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos. If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: 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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
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.

Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result. Ideas please!!!!
and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database? Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
Those are the two options to use.
Here's another fix you can try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: 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.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method. -
