MISSING BOOKS from iPhoto

MISSING BOOKS: We upgraded to iLife 08. Our BOOKS created in iPhoto 6 are now missing.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have a backup copy of the library. If not then they've be lost for good.
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.

  • Language settings in Store when ordering a book from iPhoto?

    I wanted to order a book from iPhoto but the language was in French.
    How do I change the language settings in the store if I come from iPhoto directly into the store?
    note: I was accessing the Swiss store and it automatically defaulted to French

    Most likely you have a page with a "grey" palm tree or background on it - this is a background that contains a photo
    First go through you book and see if there are any grey backgrounds - if there are either add a photo as the background or change the background to a solid color
    If this does not work then you have a hidden photo background and you will need to go through the book again and select every full page photo layout and change it to a single photo layout that is not full page so you can see the background - when you find a grey background change it to a solid background and change the photo layout back to full page
    You will find your "missing" photo(s) and be able to order
    I also suggest asking Apple to provide some tools to help find these missing photos - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    I also recommend looking through Liz Castro's web page for additions information on backgrounds and layouts for each iPhoto book theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/

  • I bought a book from iphoto and streaks appear in the preview

    I bought a book from iPhoto and got an email that Apple could not produce it because of problems.  I followed their instruction which was update software, restart computer, then view the book in preview before uploading again.  When I viewed the book there were streaks or missing pixcils on the pics.  The pics don't appear this way in iPhoto.  Any idea what's wrong?  Thanks for the help

    Start your mac in Safe Mode and try again.

  • My book from iPhoto failed (error box) after 2h. 25m. download process

    My book from iPhoto failed (error box) after 2h. 25m. download process.
    I'm afraid to start the download process again without knowing why it had an error the first time.
    What should I do?

    Thank for the information…
    Unfortunately, even if I delete iPhoto 1.1.1 from my hard rive I still receive the same error when I attempt to install 2.0, “You cannot continue. There is nothing to install”.
    I did notice that the installation dialogue seems to be correct with the exception that I am not prompted to type in an administrative password (although I am currently logged in as an administrator).
    Is there something I am missing?

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

  • Can't Print Book from iPhoto or Preview, but Can Print from Adobe Accrobat

    I have spent 2.5 hours on the phone with HP, an am now unsure if the problem is with HP or Apple.
    When I try to print a single page from an iPhoto Book (or a group of pages), I receive an error message on the HP 4650 printer (49.4C02). I saved the book as a PDF and tried to print from Preview with the same results. I then opened the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and WAS able to print. I am able to print individual photos from iPhoto.
    I searched this discussion board for problems printing to the HP 4650. One suggestion was to use the driver for the HP 4600. I tired that and it produced the same error on the printer.
    Using Adobe Acrobat is a viable work-a-round, but I am curious why I cannot print a book from iPhoto. Any thoughts as to why Adobe Acrobat works and iPhoto and Preview do not?
    Thanks,
    -Dale

    HP has _ a firmware release that addresses this error _ - have you installed it?

  • Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

    Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

    Some additional efforts you can try:
    Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
    If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.

  • , how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

    how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

    I just tried to move my old iPhoto Library from the G4 to a new Macbook. The G4 and files were very old, from 2001.
    When I opened Iphoto for the first time, it said it needed to "upgrade" the library", so I selected OK. It gave a message that this could take an hour or longer with a lot of photos -- I have around 9,000 stored so I figured it would take awhile.
    It finished in about 3 minutes, but there were no photos or albums to be found.
    I checked on the drive and iPhoto has converted the old library files and photo files to a "package" called "iphoto library" that has no file extension.
    If I show package contents, I can see a whole raft of new files, folders etc. I can see a file in there called "library6.iphoto" Some folders appear to be organized by years, if I dig down in the folders, all the photos appear to still be present. The general size of the "package" file is almost identical to the old folder, around 25.3 megabytes, so it seems all the photos and information is there, but its just not reading it.
    Now IPhoto still says " to begin, connect a camera, drag photos to iPhoto, or import a file.....
    I downloaded the "library manager" file and pointed it at the "iphoto library" file but it does not even see it.
    Grrr... what can I do to recover this.

  • I have just ordered a photo book from iPhoto, do I not get an email confirmation?

  • Problems with ordering Books from iPhoto '09

    I tried ordering 2 books from iPhoto ’09 (version 8.1.2 (424) - this is the iPhoto that I have) yesterday, and I got this message: "Please check your network connection and try again"... so I checked my network connection and it was fine. I tried again summiting the order and the same message appeared again
    I checked all the photos and everything look fine. So, I tried to summit the order again. The same message appeared. I stopped trying sending it again.
    After, I checked my emails and saw that I got charged 3 times for the books! I never got an email from apple with a confirmation number for the order(s) nor nothing! I tried looking for a number or email that I can send them about my problem but I can’t anything.
    Please Help! I have a deadline to meet.
    How can I know if at least one order went through and how can I stop two of the charges?

    To check orders go to your account in the apple store and check order status

  • Alternative to Photo books from iPhoto?

    Hello, I'm very enthusiastic about printed photo book idea, but some iLife features, including Photo Books from iPhoto, are unavailable for my country. I'd be glad if you suggested any other online services which could ship to Europe, Lithuania.
    Thank you in advance .

    My Publisher. com. A great site and they also have a mac plugin to work right from within I-Photo. Or their new software is for mac now as well. Tons of designs including leather bound. And they always send coupons for 40-50 % off. Great quality. I have also finished An Asuka book, but that is for professional Photographers only.
