    I want to order a second copy of an existing iPhoto book. Though created in the smaller format now only the larger format is showing. How can I switch an existing iPhoto book back to the smaller format?

    To change a book size duplicate it (select the book in the source pane and press command and D) since text flow and picture  placements can change due to the size differences - then click on change themes, select the same theme and the new size
    check it carefully
    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.

  • Uploading from iPhoto to someone else's web gallery

    Is there any easy way to upload files to someone else's web gallery from iPhoto? I know that it's possible to copy the picture in question to the desktop and then upload via the web, but that just doesn't seem apple-like in ease of use.

    Probably the easiest way is to email photos to the web gallery if it has been setup to receive emails.
    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.

  • Cover on iphoto book I am creating

    I have OSX  10.9.5
    I am creating my first iphoto book.  I have having trouble on the cover.  Is it possible to have a plain cover with no photo printed on it?

    Just to illustrate what LarryHN recommended -  if you create a picture with a uniform background by taking a screenshot or drawing a nuform rectangle in Preview, you can drop that picture onto the title page of your book. Use the Picture Book theme or any other theme that has full page title photos.
    For example, I made a screenshot of a black rectangle and used it as the title photo with  the Picture Book theme:

    I can't seem to get my photos for an iphoto book to load.  It will assemble the pictures, but at the last step, it never progresses with loading the photos - I always get an error message.

  • Is it possible to transfer a completed iPhoto book from one Mac to another, keeping the entire book structure intact?

    I recently went on vacation and decided to use some of the free time to create some books of family photos. I transfered the entire iPhoto library of pictures from my my iMac to a MacBook which had never before been used for photos. The library transferred perfectly with all photos, albums, calendars, books, etc. intact. (Thank you, AirDrop!)
    I successfully created and ordered 3 different books of photos on the MacBook. Now I want to transfer just those 3 completed books back to the iMac for archiving. Can I use the "Export" command to do this? If so, should I use JPEG, TIFF, etc?
    I realize I could simply transfer the entire library file back from the MacBook back to the iMac, but I'd prefer not to take up all that disc space by having two photo libraries on my hard drive (and I'm chicken to delete the original iMac library).
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Bob Baker

    Yes you can move the book but not by exporting
    The book is just entries in the iPhoto database so the only way to transfer it is ot transfer the entire library it is in - you can make a "mini" library containing only one book to make the transfer easier - see Old Toad's tutorial #9 - http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No._9.html
    You also can save a PDF of the book and transfer that but you can not edit pr process it

  • I am having trouble uploading am iPhoto book that I created.  It keeps concluding the upload by saying there has been an error and would I like to retry it or cancel.  After four "retrys" , I'm in need of some advise.

    I need some help probem solving as to why my I photo book won't upload to be printed by Apple.  It keeps saying there is an error at the very end of the upload and asks me if I want to retry or cancel.  Considering the hours spent creating the book and the fact that I can't transfer it to a different file, I seem to be stuck.  Ideas? 

    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?   Is the print products country in the advanced iPhoto preferences set correctly ?
    Have you previewed the book?  http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2486

  • How can I edit a website that someone else did with iWeb?

    A friend of mine she has a website that her ex-husband did with iWeb. Now she wants me to edit it. How can I do this in iWeb?

    The file needed is titled domain.sites and would be located in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the ex-husband's computer.  If that file can be obtained you can edit and continue to manage the site. 
    Otherwise you'll have to start over from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

  • Trouble buying a Iphoto book that I created

    What does this mean when I try to buy my photo book, I get a dialogue box that says
    "Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book."
    However, I checked all of my pages and frames and they all have photos as required.

    I took your detailed advice.  I check every full page photo, noting the backgrounds on those pages.  If there was a grey background, I changed it to a colored background.  And if I found a full page photo on top of a full page photo background, I changed those backgrounds to colored ones.
    Still get the error message from Apple when I try to buy my book.  Help!!!  Very frustrating

  • PDF text pages in iPhoto books

    I'm not sure that this is a problem. I just want reassurance before I click the ORDER BOOK button and buy the iPhoto book I have created.
    I have imported PDF pages of text into the book, as I was able to get more control over the text layout that way. However, when I proof a PDF-text page, it looks more blurry and pixellated than standard, typed-on-the-page text, as if the resolution is not quite so high. It is perfectly legible, just a shade less sharp.
    Is this likely to be a resolution matter with my printer, or will the text be marginally more blurry in the printed book's PDF pages, too? If blurry is the answer, is there anything I can do before ordering the book to get the text looking just as sharp on the PDF pages as on the non-PDF, direct-to-page, text?
    Many thanks in advance.

    In PS under Edit->Color Settings Working Spaces set Grayscale to Dot Gain 20% and set the RGB menu to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. This is for future uses.
    Now open each file in PS CS2 from withing iPhoto, go to the Image->Mode menu and select RGB. Save the changes, Command+S, and that's it. The photo will then appear normally in iPhoto.
    Here's how to use Photoshop from within iPhoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you ever do any scanning of B/W photos always scan as color.

  • How can I turn my French apple account into Australian one to be able to buy a Iphoto book I've made?

    hi
    How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?

    And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.

  • Iphoto book disappeared

    is there a file for a created iphoto book? i created a book and later when i opened iphoto, it just said loading book and it never loaded. the pictures are still in the library but the book is gone. is there any way to find it now??

    ghorn
    welcome to the apple user to user assistance forums
    did you have any problems before the book disappeared?
    iPhoto books can be between 20 and 100 pages (10 to 50 sheets of paper) - you can not go below the minimum or above the maximum so that is not the problem
    Books do not really exist - they are virtual things that exist only in the iPhoto database - so you can never see them except using iPhoto
    Quit iPhoto and depress the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild the library from the last automatic database backup

  • Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    For future books you might consider doing what I do:  create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. 
    When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.

  • Major Quality loss when editing in Iphoto 09

    Hi,
    I am a new user to Imac and Iphoto and I saw that when I edit an Image in Iphoto, I loose a lot of my original data.
    I have found that I can return to the original picture, but I wish to edit (especially using the CROP function) then print the Image on 20x30 cm size and therefore I need all the quality I can get.
    When I Crop either JPEG or .RAW formatted images (for example 10 MBytes in size) even if I select the COMPLETE image, I am left with only 4 or 5 Mbytes of data.
    It gets much worse when I really Crop a part of the picture.
    A 12 Mega pixel photo should supply sufficient data to cover a complete wall, but for some reason a lot of quality is lost when I use any of the editing features.
    Am I doing something wrong ?
    Should I change any of the settings ?
    Thanks for your advice

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    the only difference is that Iphoto took my quality !!
    Are you basing the "quality" loss on visual appearance of the photo or on the resulting size of the jpeg file? If it's the latter that is really not an accurate method. True, some information is lost with a jpeg edit and save (only the first edit in iPhoto results in additional jpeg compression) but, in my experience, you would have to print a VERY large print before seeing any noticeable image degradation. I've compressed jpegs as high as 60%, i.e. a quality setting of 40, and for most all uses up to 5x7 prints haven't seen noticeable image degradation. However, I realize image quality is subjective and open to individual interpretation.
    So unless you are visibly seeing image degradation I wouldn't worry about the file size reduction, especially in iPhoto as it's compressed only once no matter how many edits are made and saved. Apple uses a compression algorithm that gives the best image quality for the amount of compression it uses.
    The following is from the Usernet FAQ site article "JPEG image compression FAQ, part 1/2':
    Subject: [4] How well does JPEG compress images?
    Very well indeed, when working with its intended type of image (photographs and suchlike). For full-color images, the uncompressed data is normally 24 bits/pixel. The best known lossless compression methods can compress such data about 2:1 on average. JPEG can typically achieve 10:1 to 20:1 compression without visible loss, bringing the effective storage requirement down to 1 to 2 bits/pixel. 30:1 to 50:1 compression is possible with small to moderate defects, while for very-low-quality purposes such as previews or archive indexes, 100:1 compression is quite feasible. An image compressed 100:1 with JPEG takes up the same space as a full-color one-tenth-scale thumbnail image, yet it retains much more detail than such a thumbnail.

  • Is it possible to add additional fonts when creating an iPhoto book?

    Is it possible to add additional fonts when creating an iPhoto book?
    I have some additional fonts that would add a lot to the overall appearance of my i Photo book but cannot find a method for installing them into iPhoto.
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Use the Edit ➙ Shot Fonts menu option to bring up the Fost selection pane. 
    From there you can select any font you have installed on your Mac.
