IPhoto wont let me purchase. The 'buy book' icon is not clickable.

I made an awesome calendar and album and iPhoto for Xmas which I must purchase ASAP and it wont let me purchase. The 'buy book' icon is not clickable. What do I do and how can I buy my items?

Sorry IGrebe... you'll just have to check it AGAIN!!!
I just spent ANOTHER 7 hours on this thing... in the end it was a single full-page photo that SHOULD have had a solid colored background checked IN THE "BACKGROUND" LIST, but instead it had the palm-tree grey background checked (even though that makes more sense logically to me...) and it stopped everything cold. SO WHAT I NEEDED WAS A SOLID COLOR, even though the lay-out for a single picture shows a grey background...
Let's face it, Apple has some work to do--but in the meantime, so do the users. I had a 28 page book ready a month ago and couldn't get it to work...called Apple Support but that wasn't much use... redid the whole thing with the internet suggestion to put the full-page pictures in LAST but in the end, had to wait to get back at it--redid it a third time --so in all this "quick album" took about 16 hours!! I tried all the on-line suggestions and finally it was changing everything in my full-page background pictures as suggested and checking and re-checking, changing and re-changing... bummer for IGrebe who has 40 pages... it's rather like looking for a needle in a haystack. I felt exactly the way you did... I'd presented the way I wanted it and didn't want to change it.... but I had to be willing to rethink everything, spend hours to make this "simple program" function the way it says it should, and go to bed at 5 a.m. after finally getting this rotten apple to work!
Oh, and when I found the problem, I went back and changed my other pages back to original form ONE AT A TIME to make sure I could still order the book. This works if you're like me and have already 2 or 3 copies of your book so you can use one as a reference. A good memory would solve that issue, but who remembers at 4 in the morning?
Good luck!

  • I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • TS1135 Can't buy book- the Buy Book button doesn't appear to work. Any solutions?

    Book has been created and previewed, but the Buy Book button is not working. How can I actually BUY the darned book?????

    Are you using iPhoto 9.6?
    Check, if you are connected to the correct Apple Print Products Store:
    iPhoto Preferences > Advanced > Print Products Store
    The country in this setting needs to be the same as the country of your billing address and delivery address, also your AppleID and Credit Card.
    If your country settings are correct, check the setting for your AppleID and enable "Express Checkout" for your Apple ID directly at the Apple Store. You can do this right from the top of this web page.
    Look at the black title bar at the top of this page. There is a Store menu to the left. Click it to open the page of the Apple Store. On the next page click the head icon to the left of the shopping cart to open the settings for your account. There you can enable the Express Checkout settings at the link "Update Express Checkout Settings".
    Edit and reenter all your billing address and delivery address details on this page.

  • TS1702 have educatioan apps for my lil one, and i try to purchase the whole thing and it wouldnt let me from my ipad. everything is all updated and it still wont let me purchase anything

    there are four apps for my son on my ipad, that the itunes store will not let me purchase from my ipad thru the app or on it. it wont let me buy the whole app so my lil one can enjoy. i have tried everything. i have updated everything and restarted everything and it still wont let me purchase anything. all it tells me to to go to the itunes store support. i did and i see no solution

    I think that you mean that you are getting a message to contact iTunes Store Support. There must be some issue with your account that only iTunes support can solve for you.
    Go here and click on the iTunes Store Support link on the right side and then in the next window, click on Purchases, Billing and Redemption, then click on Unable to Purchase from the iTunes Store, then click on email in the next window. Send an email and tell them what you are experiencing.

  • I created a book on iPhoto. I click on the buy button, and I get a connecting message with a blue striped rectangle. I am connected to the internet and I have made books before without any problems. I have tried for the past two weeks at various times.

    I created a book on iPhoto. I click on the buy button, and I get a  message that says Connecting with a moving blue striped rectangle. I am connected to the internet and I have made books before without any problems. I have tried for the past two weeks at various times and I get this same message each time. Any ideas about what is going on? 

    First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

    What does "it will not let me purchase it" mean exactly? Are you getting an error message?

    You can't delete your purchase history, you can only hide it (in iTunes on your computer).

  • IPhoto project will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process. Christmas gift, really need to get this done, have worked MANY hours on putting it together. Please help!

    Iphoto book will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the fix below:
    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 #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book.  If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

  • Iphoto wont let me edit info

    Iphoto wont let me edit info

    Iphoto'11 Version 9.4.2
    OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
    My iphoto library is corrupted according to the error message.
    I have tried to restore my iphoto library by deleting the iphoto library and copy it back from my timemachine, but the problem remains.
    It just happened today.
    I can scroll my photo, use "edit" function and others fairly well. But when I try to click "info" the iphoto will shut itself down immediately and show error message that says my library is corrupted.
    I have tried rebuild the database. But the problem persists.

  • Pressing the "Buy Book" button does nothing

    I completed a photobook last night and when I pressed the "Buy Book" nothing happened. I checked to make sure I wasn't missing any updates, restarted and tried again. I have since tried to order a greeting card with the same result. Nothing happens when I press the button. I even reinstalled iLife 08 to make sure there wasn't something funny with the install. Still the same result. I have ordered through (Kodak) the buttons in iPhoto previously with no problem, but not since I upgraded to iPhoto 08. I also realized that I can not print in iPhoto anymore. When I press the print button or the print command through the menu nothing happens. It doesn't error out or ask me to select a printer....nothing. HELP!

    AReid:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. See of that helps.
    If still not working correctly boot into Safe Mode and see if you can get iPhoto to work as intended. If it does not then a reinstall of iPhoto may be warranted along with the reapplication of the 10.4.10 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
    If it does work OK in Safe Mode then your account is the culprit. It could be a damaged preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to check that out:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
    If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
    Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
    If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
