Length of time to complete book order

I have been "ordering" this book for more than 12 hours. Why is it taking so long for aperture to complete the order? When I try to quit aperture the message is that I cannot until the order is complete. This book is 23 pages. The screen stating that the order was 47% complete disappeared more than 10 hours ago. My message to aperture has not been answered.

It seems that the length of time it might take to complete the order will depend on a few things:
1.How many images there are and the format they are saved in (total size of all image files)
2. You internet connection speed
The entire book has to be uploaded at full resolution before it is a complete process

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

Unable to complete photo book order on ipad

Hi, I hope this is the right place to get some help. Regarding placing an iphoto photo book order on an ipad.
I have been working on a photo book project for a long time, and want to finally order some copies of the book. Everything has worked fine, except that I get a message that I have some clipped text that may be exceeding its boundaries. I can't figure out where this is, no warning triangles are showing, so I choose to proceed with the order anyway. The next page is black/dark grey with a small icon of the front page of the photo book, and it says "done" ("ferdig" in Norwegian) on top. I can click on some words in blue writing on the top right of the page, "add delivery address" (in Norwegian). When I try to type somehing in there, nothing happens.
Aaargh, this is so frustrating! I have checked that my address and credit card info is valid, in my apple id-account(itunes).
Shouldn't there be some uploading of the album? And a choice of how many copies etc I want? I have checked my email and there are no order confirmations, so I apparently havent placed an order yet, despite the "done"/"ferdig" on top of the page.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can I do?

Hey there Nyibyen,
It sounds like you are unable to purchase a project youve been working on for a good long while, but the order process is not working as expected. I would start by verifying you have Express Checkout enabled in your Account Settings when you are at http://store.apple.com, with this info:
You can review or edit your express checkout settings by accessing the Account section from the main navigation bar. Sign-in with your Apple ID and password to view your account settings. Click on the Edit button if you wish to edit your shipping address or payment method. You can also enable or disable the express checkout feature for this computer by moving the slider to the respective position.
From: Express Checkout
http://store.apple.com/us/help/express_checkout_faq
If so and your other billing info is correct, quit all the running apps on the iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue is still unresolved, try resetting your network settings and attempting the order again.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

I complete and ordered a hardcover photo book. Now, I would like to order the same photo book as a soft cover or wire bound. IPhoto does not seem to have directions for this process.

I completed and ordered a hardcover photo book, Now I would like to order the same book but with a soft cover or wire bound cover. IPhoto doesn't seem to have a feature which just lets me change the completed book to another type of cover.

see my answer to your previous duplicate post
duplicate the book in case of issues and use the change \theme button - select the same theme and the new format - preview (in case anything has changed) and order

I have organised my photos in an album but when I open a new book to start putting the photos in, they come up in the book in a completely different order?

Yes - in the book they are sorted by date

You can start the book with one photo and then add others by dragging them to the book project in the source pane on the left

Address Book - Name Completion Search Order missing books

We have Groupwise 8.0.2 running on Netware 6.5 SP8
Problem: in the Address Book, the Name Completion Search Order shows different Available Books depending on the computer, but no computer has all the available books.
Computer 1: (the user's pc): Windows 7. The Available Books has only the Groupwise Address Book and the Frequent Contacts. It does not show the user's personal address book as being available, it is not even listed in the box.
Computer 2: Windows 7. The available books box is empty.
Computer 3: (my pc) Windows XP. Logging into Groupwise with the user's account, the available books box is empty (same as Computer 2), but when I go into my account, all 3 books are showing (Groupwise, Personal, and Frequent Contacts)

Hi
like Laura said, there are different misc. support options for gwcheck:
PABCHANGEFIX
PABDELDUPREC
PABFIX
PABONLY
Do they correct anything if you run them
1. against the caching mailbox (if used)
2. against the online box?
IMHO there should be a "how to" when the users personal address book is missing/deleted and not just closed...
Just google a bit ;)
Cheers,
Pascal

My book order gets stuck with the message 'your book order is not complete'

hi,
while trying to place my first order for a book, I get the message above, with the message that the book order is still being sent to the publisher.
during the book submission, I went through what appeared to be a re-registration (although, using the same details, the right information seemed to be picked up in later stages of the process.)
I am using Aperture 3 on Lion (10.7.1)
oddly, I can't get into my 'order status' part of the Account part of the Apple store either.
i'm not sure if something is incomplete, or what!
anyone have any ideas, or has experienced this in the past?
regards,
Nick

It seems that closing the application gives you the opportunity to cancel an 'in progress' book submission - the only way that I have come across.
Going in again and re-submitting has *thus far* done what is expected - I am now waiting for my confirmation email.
The address change screens are a bit of a mess, but that should not really make a huge difference if you are not having to change addresses - tabbing around the fields makes some sense of it. (apple, you may well want to fix this - contact me if screen shots would help)

IPhoto "buy book" order fails at end of upload

I have created a 20 pg hard-covered book in iPhoto which I can preview with no problems and I can create a pdf version of it (34.6MB). However, when attempting to buy the book, I get an error message with CANCEL/RETRY as my options at the very end of the upload process. I have tried the following, but still no success:
(1) safe boot - iPhoto crashes immediately at "BUY BOOK" selection
(2) set energy savers to off - dies at end of upload
(3) duplicated the book and tried to purchase duplicated version - dies at end of upload
(4) changed the theme of the book and tried to purchase it - dies at end of upload
(5) created a simple card and purchased it with no problems (so my account is fine) and I cancelled the order thereafter
Each page of the book has 2 portrait photos with minimal text underneath. The largest photo size is 4.6MB. All photos are JPGs. I rebooted my iMac each time before trying (2)-(5) above. I am running version 9.4.3 (720.91) of iPhoto. I have turned off my TimeMachine backup too and have all other applications closed when I attempt to purchase the book. To date, I have never had a problem purchasing books (last one in Dec 2012).
Thanks for any suggestions!

Sadly, no change after updating v10.8.5(combo). A normal boot with an attempt to "buy book" from iPhoto, gets almost to the end of the upload and then gives me the following error:
In Safe boot, I get to the beginning of the Assembly process and iPhoto crashes. Here is a portion of the problem details:
I compiled my book on Thursday evening, thinking that would be the painstaking part. Purchasing it has become too much of a time consuming adventure! I did call Apple Technical Support last evening and the service agent suggested that I check the Apple Support Community discussions, so thank you for taking a greater interest in my problem.
One other thing I found regarding problems submitting photobook orders is at the bottom of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2516. An excerpt from this webpage is below, but I can't find the "NetServices" entry in my Keychain Access window to try this fix. Do you think this is a piece to my puzzle or simply old info as it was last modified on May 24, 2012?
Again, I was able to order a photocard (cancelled the order within 90 minute window) as a test, so I don't believe I have an account problem.
excerpt:
If you are using iPhoto '08 or iPhoto '09 and are unable to submit your order after following the steps above, please follow these steps to reset your Keychain:
Quit iPhoto.
From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
If you are unsuccessful with submitting your order, please contact Apple Technical Support.

TS2516 an error occurred uploading my iPhoto Book order. It puts the book together and starts to send but at the very last moment comes up with an error message. but checking the book in iPhoto there are no problems to be found.

Re: book upload fails
Nov 30, 2013 3:02 PM (in response to pablo123)
Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Happy Holidays

I was charged for a book in the istore but it did not download. The free sample of the book is there but not the complete book.

I was charged for a book that I tried to download to my new iPad, which I guess is the iPad 3. I downloaded the free sample first. Then I tried to buy the complete book, but it did not download. Only the free sample is there. How can I get the full book?

Palm desktop calendar - in month view, event times are in wrong order!

I use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my Windows XP machine (I don't own a PDA). I enter my appointments in Week view and they look fine, but when I go to Month view (I want to print this view), the events for a given day show up in the wrong order!
For example, on one day I see:
9a Event
10:30a Event
2p Event
12p Event
and on the next day I see:
9a Event
2p Event
10a Event
I tried changing things in Options and Preferences - no luck. I have messed around with it and can't figure out any weird pattern it might be sorting by (I've tried re-entering appointments to see whether it sorts by the last time they were entered/edited, and looked into whether it was sorting by category, length of event name, first digit of the time, length of time, alphabetically by event name, by whether it repeats/has a location/has a note/has an alarm/was entered by clicking once and typing or by right-clicking). It just seems baffling, and it definitely seems like a bug, since of course you'd want your events sorted by time.
Does anyone know what's going on or have this problem?
Thanks!
Post relates to: None

I had looked at this in response to another post, and didn't notice the same problem. But then I went back further and noticed it sure enough...it's only occasional.
I haven't done any kind of analysis as you have apparently done, mostly because I don't really use the desktop application except occasionally.
Thought maybe it sorts repeating events differently than single events, but I've seen it both ways, so that doesn't seem to be it.
It doesn't bother me enough, but it certainly seems like it would warrant an email support request to Palm, to see if they have an answer.

I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels

I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels. Any easy solution?
Steps:
1. I finished an Aperture 2 (Two) book project and tried to submit it to Apple for printing. At that point I learned (belatedly, obviously) that Apple no longer accepts books from Aperture 2. I don't know how I would have known to even ask if Aperture 2 had been sunsetted as far as book projects go.
2. So I tried to download Aperture 3 ($79.99), only to be told that I couldn't download Aperture 3.5.1 because I was still running OSX 10.8.x. So I read current reviews for OSX 10.9.x, and ...
3. Downloaded and installed the current operating system (about a 3-hours process for me). OSX 10.9.2, here we are!
4. Then I returned to the Apple Store, found, and purchased Aperture 3. [For safety's sake, it would sure be nice to have a .dmg file I could copy and file away. I lost a perfectly legal and good copy of Adobe's Photoshop Elements 3 years ago because I wasn't smart enough to make a safety copy, and when my iMac crashed (fried electronic components), I was left with a copy of the software that wouldn't run, and couldn't be verified as legit.]
5. When Aperture 3 finished installing, I found and imported my COMPLETED Aperture 2 book project, which import seemed to proceed nominally -- the right number of pages, the right content on those pages, that sort of thing -- until I started looking more carefully at the pictures themselves. All of them, about 300 of them, have been imported into an Aperture 3 book project in such a reduced resolution that they are fuzzy at the size the book will be printed. Screen-capture of just one example (at 100% viewer setting):
I don't know what to do at this point to correct the problem, short of going through the entire book project, copy the custom captions (since those go away when you "delete" photo content), delete the photo, re-insert the photo, and paste back the custom caption. Lather, rinse, repeat - ~300 times! An estimated 2-3 hours of additional work.
Or does anyone in this community know either (1) that I did something wrong in the Aperture 2-to-Aperture 3 import (I don't recall being offered any options or choices in the process); or (2) that there is a wholesale one-step solution to my problem?
BTW, I tried to edit my "Product" info, but OSX 10.9.x is not in the pick list. I am running OSX 10.9.2
<Re-Titled By Host>

Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

Complete Book in PDF is not working for one report

It's strange. All of the other books run fine. If wecreate another copy of this troublesome book, still have the sameproblem. All of the reports in the book can be readindividually. Is there a limitation to the number of reportsin a book to Complete Book in PDF? Thanks

Its working now. We just kept trying to reinstall the tools and restarting indesign. On the 4th time the buttons started working. I can't explain why it finally worked, just that it is working now.

How do I extend the length of time my iphone rings before voicemail cuts in? If I need to use a password, how do I access that on my iphone? I'm a new user.

HELP!! My voicemail cuts in after just 15 seconds of ringing, which is rarely long enough for me to answer it. How do I increase the length of time it rings? Can I choose not to have voicemail at all, so my phone can just continue ringing until I answer?
If I need to enter a voicemail password or key, can you tell me step by step because I can't see how to do anything except retrieve and delete voicemail msgs. I'm on O2-UK, if that makes any difference at all. Thank you

If my response has been either helpful or correct, could you indicate that marking which it is in order that others searching for a similar solution can find find this easily.
FYI, it's considered bad forum etiquette to ask for points.

How to set product Id for event booking order?

We take paid bookings for a number of events through the year. Since the event booking information is identical for every event (only the event details change), we have implemented this by embedding the HTML from a standardised web form into each event's details section.
However, when the event booking is submitted by the customer, Business Catalyst creates a product whose name is constructed as {form name}/{event name} to correspond to this event. This product is referenced in the CRM order for this event that is linked to the customer. This means we get a separate product for each event type.
The problem is that the product code that is assigned to the event booking product is the ID of the web form that was used to process the event (ie. the form embedded in the event detail). Since we use the same web form for multiple events we are now seeing duplicate product codes.
I would like to create a common product for all event bookings and pass this product ID when posting the form on submit of the event booking. The reason for a single booking product is to simplify the synchronisation to our accounting system - otherwise we need to create a new product in the accounting system every time we add a new event.
Is there a query parameter I can include on the form's action URL or as an input field to the form that controls the product ID and / or the product name that will be used for the booking order?
The only other solution I can think of to solve this challenge is to create a unique web form - event combination for every single event. This is not a great solution due to the unnecessary duplication that this will involve - I would rather re-use a common piece of code.
Thanks for any help and advice.
