IPhoto won't place my order???

Hi,
I've gathered a bunch of photo's I wan't to order in print.
I can get through to the "Place order" screen. When I place my order, then I'll get to the next screen, where the photo information is said to be gathered before transfered. Then the problem occurs. The "Gathering" bar just don't move an inch. Went to sleep last night, got up this morning, and nothing had happened. It hadn't moved from last night. So my order hasn't even been gathered, let alone transfered.
I've installed Mountain Lion, but also upgraded iPhoto to the latest version 9.3.2 (670.32). I tried a reinstall of iPhoto, hoping that would solve the problem, but it didn't.
I've never had this problem before, as I've ordered lots and lots of photos, never having any trouble in doing so. That was also before installing Mountain Lion though.
Now I'm stuck with an iPhoto where I can't order photo, what do I do???
All help appreciated. Thanks in advance...

  • IPhoto won't complete calendar order, but does complete book order

    I want to order a calendar I made in iPhoto 11, but everytime I get to the end of the upload this happens:
    I've tried ordering it is safe mode, and with the firewall turned off - doesn't work. I've also tried reinstalling iPhoto and using a different AppleID - still the same result.
    However, to test whether it was an issue with my account or with the photos I was using, I attempted to order a book that was filled with many of the same photos I used in my calendar and it went through perfectly! Why can't I get a successful order with the calendar?

    Go to the Apple store to your account and reenter all of your account and billing information (do not just verify - reenter) - usually that will clear this up

  • Iphoto won't  transfer to order photo book

    I get a fault trying to order a photo book. It says "An export error occured while finalizing the photo book." Error: (null)

    Preview your book. One of the photos may not be printable. See this for how to make a preview:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    If making a preview should fail, try to identify and remove any photo that is causing problems.
    Then boot into  Safe Mode, and order the book while still in Safe Mode.
    Keep the Preview for reference, until the book has been delivered.

  • I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

    You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address.  Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store.  Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

  • When I was ready to place the order for my iPhoto book, I realized that it was for a soft cover book and I wanted hard cover.  How can I change this without losing my prepared book?

    When I was ready to place the order for my iPhoto book, I realized that it was for a soft cover book and I wanted hard cover.  How can I change this without losing my prepared book?

    Duplicate your book and try to change the theme in the copy.  Chnaging the theme may change the layout  of your text fileds. That is why you need the copy to be able to compare the pages before and after.
    Ctrl-click the book in the Source list and select "Duplicate".
    Click the "Change Theme" button in the upper right corner of the Book pane, make sure, you have the same theme selected and the same size. Click Hardcover.

  • IPhoto won't order prints

    I'm trying to order prints of images. I select the images, sizes, and quantities and click "Buy Now". I am then prompted that my browser session has ended or is no longer valid. I'm not using a browser. I'm in iPhoto. If I go online to the apple store to look at my account. I can log in without any problem as well as this support community. The prompt tells me that I can continue to checkout by clicking on Return to Checkout. Well, there is no return to checkout button just a close.
    I'm starting to think that Apple products are slowly starting to just not work.
    Anyone have any ideas or same experience?

    I got the solution: iPhoto is using Safari in order to place orders. Thus, you have to enable cookies in Safari (worked for me) and/or check for any other problems with Safari.
    Good Luck!

  • Error message when trying to place book order in iPhoto

    I have compiled a book in iPhoto, but when I go to place the order, the "compiling book" intially shows, but then I get the following error message
    *-[NSPlaceholdermutableStringInitWithString:]:nilarguement
    I have checked and every page and frame has a picture & I haven't got any pages with the palm tree background. I have got one photo with a low quality warning, but I have ok'd that error message. I have sucessfully ordered a different book a couple of days ago. The only difference is the new book has two extra pages.
    Help appreciated as I want to make use of the Europe 20% discount which runs out at the end of the week. Many thanks

    Hi,
    I am getting the exact same message when I try to order my book as well. I have text on my back cover page, I tried fixing that and numerous other things like photos and pages etc. It's something in this book because I tried other books and they were fine in assembly and I have ordered a book successfully in Iphoto 6.0 (It is driving me insane! HELP!!!!!!!) what else could it be and how do you figure this out- its such a pain that you have to go through all this troubleshooting blindly.

  • IPhoto Book...won't let me order!!

    I'm trying to buy a book I made...get the message that there is an empty frame that needs to be filled or change layout.  I have checked and rechecked...there is no empty frame!  What do I do?  It won't let me order the book with this block...

    Empty frame ??  Photo or text??
    FOr a missing photo the situation almost laways is a full page photo hidden behind another full page photo - you will hav eto go through your book and check full page photo to see if there is a background photo missing behind it - then
    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 order

  • 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 in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

    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:

  • IPhoto won't import photos from new 70D

    Hi - I'm hoping for some guidance. I was a Rebel Xsi user for years, and just got a 70D. I used to be able to plug my camera in and iphoto would open up and import everything. Now, it only works sporadically, which is even weirder than not working at all. Right now I have 100+ photos from two important events sitting on my memory card that iphoto won't recognize. It imported about a dozen photos I took today without a problem, though. The photos are viewable from the camera. I can't recall changing any settings between taking those photos and the ones I took today. It doesn't make a difference if I plug the SD card directly into my computer; the software is still not recognizing any of the photos that are on the card. Any ideas?
    Using:
    Canon EOS70D
    Macbook Pro with iPhoto '09

    Note that on a 70D the WiFi feature must be disabled in order to transfer images to your computer via USB method.
    This only applies to the cameras that have WiFi (70D & 6D).  
    Also, if you do shoot in RAW format, then you'll need to make sure your computer is updated with the latest Camera RAW Updates from Apple.  This only applies to RAW... not JPEG.  Also I noticed you mentioned iPhoto '09 ... which is rather old and made me wonder if your version of OS X might also be old.  Apples Camera RAW updates are provided at the operating system level (because the same Camera RAW update is shared by Finder, Preview, iPhoto, Aperture, and anything else that might need to decode a RAW file.  My point for mentioning this is that if your OS version is too old then Apple may no longer be providing updates.  In that case you'd need to updgrade the OS (but Apple gives their OS upgrades away -- they don't charge for them.)

  • Iphoto prints - issue sending an order

    I'm trying to send in an order to make prints from iPhoto.  Able to log in with Apple ID, I successfully select the number of prints, but when I place the order, the Assembly step doesn't do anything.  It says "your order is being prepared and uploaded"...but nothing happens.  Fast internet conneciton, no issues accessing iTunes etc.

    I've also just tried to boot in safe mode, and the trying to order. Nothing happened, it just kept assembling without moving at all.
    Trying to figure out, how I can get my photos from my iMac to my Macbook, and then have a try from there.
    This is really annoying, hope someone knows how to handle this problem.
    Thanks for the suggestion with Safe Mode Old Toad though...

  • Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

    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
    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.

  • 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?

    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?

    Peter
    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.
