Number of Placed Photos Missing in Book Editor

Recently my copy of Aperture stopped displaying the number badge that indicates the number of times an image has been placed in a book. The example of the indicator is shown on p. 372 of the Aperture User Manual. I have searched the Book preferences and general preferences to see if there is a means of turning this back on, but have found none. I would appreciate any help toward restoring this useful feature of Aperture.
I recently installed the '08 versions of iLife and iWork, but I doubt that has any affect.

The answer is that the Grid View must be turned on in View Optics (Cmd-J).
Tinker with Aperture long enough you eventually run across the inobvious.

Why are many of my photos missing? External editor badge applied to all of the missing ones to...

I switched over my iPhoto library to Aperture but realized about 20% of the entire library contains thumbs but no image. These missing photos have size (e.g. 1MB) but no resolution (it says 0 x 0 px). Also all of these photos have the dot inside the circle badge indicating that it was editired with an external editor which most or all were not... I rebuilt the library and tried reprocessing masters without success. Most of these are older digital photos that are small in size but have sentimental value to them. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Strange. The photos that don't display in Aperture will still display in iPhoto but when I view the info the file doesn't show resolution information only for those problematic photos
Files sizes are almost all jpeg. Once I reference the file in iPhoto, the master displayed resolution for the photo within finder. The photo's original file also opened in preview and photoshop.

Maximum number of photos in a book?

Well, I've got this 100-page book all set to go, but the pdf file shows the last 25-30 pages as being blank. I've shuffled pages around and gotten different numbers of blank pages, so I'm beginning to think that there may be a limit to the number of photos that can be stuffed into a book. I've got 567 photos in the book layout right now. Is that too many? Has anyone had any experience with books having this many photos before?

Hi!
Thanks for the quick reply. The book is double-sided (100 pages), Picture Book theme. And after much playing around, my conclusion is the same as yours -- there seems to be no limit to the number of photos, only to the number of pages. I've actually increased the number of photos in my book to 587, and they all appear in the generated pdf file.
The initial problem -- blank pages -- seems to have been related to the resolution settings in the iPhoto prefs file. Reducing those numbers resulted in all pages being properly printed. Here's the text of my reply to a reply to another question I posted concerning those blank pages...
I'm using the Picture Book theme. And after much tinkering, I think I've found the problem -- and the solution.
Remembering posts from some time ago discussing ways to improve the quality of the printed photos -- including tweaking the iphoto prefs file -- I used the Property List Editor app to check my book settings (BookTargetDPI-BookTargetMediumIMageDPI-BookTargetSmallImageDPI). The three items were all set to 300. I reduced them to 250 each, then tried 'ordering' the book again. Lo, and behold, there were now 20 fewer blank pages. So I set about playing with different combinations of settings, trying to find the optimum resolutions that would print all 100 pages. I've ended up with something like 250-220-220.
Now I have no idea what these settings actually control, or what the optimum settings would be for this or any other book project, but clearly, they affect how many pages are accepted for printing. While the 300-300-300 settings worked for my last book, that book was only 20 pages. For this current book, those numbers are too high.
I looked at many of the other posts in this forum and wonder if those having trouble with blank pages haven't also played with these settings. I tried moving the iPhoto prefs file out of the Library/Preferences folder in order to force iPhoto to create a new file with default settings, and discovered that 150-150-300 seem to be Apple's preferred settings. But the very first book I ordered from Apple, which used those settings, was a bit disappointing in terms of resolution. Hence my boosting of these numbers for the second book.
The problem of blank pages could also have something to do with file size. At the higher resolutions, the generated pdf file tipped the scales at a beefy 193 MB, but at the lower resolutions, the pdf file is a relatively svelte 133 MB. There might be some limitation built into iPhoto to prevent people from trying to send1 GB pdf files to Apple's printers.
In my case at least, the problem is NOT related to the number of photos I'm using. After playing with the numbers, I actually went back and added a dozen more photos, pushing the total to 587 across 100 pages. And with the new resolutions, all photos on all pages print fine.
I wish I knew what all of this meant and how it could be used to predict iPhoto's book creation behavior, but at least I'll be able to print this book now.
Thanks for your quick reply! Hope my experiences help someone else with similar problems.

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos??

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700 pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

IPhoto 11 photo book save placed photos

I made a photobook for my client. She likes it.
I took over 150 photos and used 48 photos for the book.
In the photobook screen, the photos I placed in the book are check marked.
The ones not used are clear.
Is it possible to extract only those placed 48 photos and put them in a separate album?
I am trying to avoide going through all 150 photos and try to find the 48 used ones.
Is there a simple highlight, drag and drop kind of procedure?
Thank you.

There is a way. If you don't have any other photos flagged in the library you can go thru the pages and flag each photo in the book. To flag the photos you need to get into the edit mode and then use the Photos ➙ Flag Photo menu option. The next photo in the book can be brought into the edit mode by using the forwared arrow on the keyboard. Create a smart album with the criteria Photo is Flagged and you'll have all of the book photos grouped in that smart album.
Or you can use ratings which is easier as you don't need to go into the Edit mode. Click on each photo on a page and use the Photos ➙ My Ration menu option to assigna a specific rating to the photos in the book:
If your library has photos other than that apply to your client you might want to consider this tutorial for this book, iP12 - Archiving an iPhoto 9 (11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date, for this book and using a separate library for future books.

How do I undo clear placed photos - I have 'lost' 40 pages of my photo book

I used the clear placed photo icon and lost 40 pages of work ..
I have a complete back up on an external drive but I am not sure how to reinstate the iphoto data.

I have a complete back up on an external drive but I am not sure how to reinstate the iphoto data.
You need to restore the iPhoto library from your backup. By default yoour iPhoto Library will be in your "Pictures" folder and called "iPhoto Library.photolibrary" (in iPhoto '11). what is your iPhoto version and your MacOS X version?
What kind of backup do you have?
If it is a Time Machine backup, connect your TimeMachine drive and quit iPhoto.
Select your "Pictures" folder in the Finder, and with this folder the currently open Finder window enter Time Machine.
Then dive into the Time Tunnel and go back in time to the most recent date, when your Photo Book was still complete.
Select the iPhoto Library and press "Restore".
When you open iPhoto again, it should now show again all pages of your book.

Want to Buy Book in iPhoto 9.4.3 told 1 page had photo missing but not so. Changed page to 1 photo only

I want to buy an iphoto book but each time I click on button BUY BOOK I get the message that 1 or more pages have no photo which is not the case. It shows me one particular page with exclamation mark and I have changed the layout to even ONE photo but still get the same message. Tried various different layouts but still the same. All this having upgraded my operating system and my iPhoto software. Please can someone help. First time user of this support commuinity. Living in hope

Then I tried to preview the book like LN described "Assembling book" came up, blue bar finished but then nothing.
When the preview fails, your book contains a photo that cannot be processed. So it will not help to try to send it Apple, SafeMode or not.
You have to find out, which of your photos is causing the problem. Is there a partial preview, so you can check, how far the preview proceeded, before it crashed? Is there anything suspicious in the pdf you saved? Any photo not looking like it should?
I'd try to make a duplicate of your book (select it in the source list, then use the command "Photos > Copy".
Delete half of the photos from your book and try again to create a preview. Does that work? if not proceed with deleting photos, until you hit the bad one, that will make the preview crash.
Then replace that photo in your original book.

Maximum number of pictures and pages in book?

What is the maixmum number of pictures you can use when ordering a book?
What is the maximum number of pages for each book you can have when ordering through Apple?
Thanks

What is the maixmum number of pictures you can use when ordering a book?
Depends on the theme you choose - see Liz Castro's page for examples of each theme and all of the layouts available for each theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
So if you chose the picture book theme and choose to have 16 photos per page you could have 1600 photos in a book
On the other hand if you chose the folio theme then you would be limited to 200 photos in a book
What is the maximum number of pages for each book you can have when ordering through Apple?
50 sheets of paper - 100 pages

Aperture album contents not all showing on Apple TV photos; random photos missing

Only noticed this problem by chance when searching for a particular set of photos while viewing Aperture photos via an Apple TV 2. Some Albums are fine others have a random number of photos missing (compared with viewing in Aperture itself) with as little as one photo being shown when there are hundreds in the Album. Any suggestions/ideas as to whether the problem may a set up issue or systematic?

You may not have previews built for the photos that are not showing up. Select all the pictures in the Album that is not displaying all photos, right click while holding the mouse over one of the selected photos, and then select "update previews". After Aperture has built previews for all the photos in that album, you may have to quit Aperture before they will all show up on the AppleTV (when you quit Aperture you will see a progress bar saying "updating sharing preferences", or something to that effect).
If there is a way to get Aperture to update sharing preferences without quiting, will someone reply to the method to achive this? So far, quiting is the only way I have discovered to force Aperture to update the sharing prefs.
Let us know if this works. Usually photos not showing up outside of Aperture is caused from not having previews built for those photos.

I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder.

I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder. renamed the photos starting with 1 and ending 262. thinking that would save the photos in order. Each time I try to export them that are placed in original folder names and descriptions need help.

This is a two part process. First we title the photos, then we export them, using the title as filename.
To title them
Once you have then in the order you want select them all and go
Photos -> Batch Change. Select set 'Title' to 'Text'
Choose a Title -> Graduation 2013 or whatever, then check the box at 'Append number to each photo.
Now, in the Album all your photos are named... Graduation 001, 002, 003 etc
Next Export them:
File -> Export, and in the Name option, choose 'Title as Filename' and complete the export.

How do I reduce the number of pages in an iPhoto book from 100 to 50

How do I reduce the number of pages in an iPhoto book from 100 to 50. I have selected 153 photos to be put in the book and iPhoto automatically designated the book to be 100 pages in length.

If the auto place put photos on all 100 pages you'll need to reset the layout on the first 50 pages so all photos will fit in just those 50 pages. Then add the photos to the first 50 pages and delete the last 50 according to the link Larry provided.

Unable to add re-edited photos to a book.

I uploaded a folder of photos to ibook and found the book quite easy to assemble.
I then decided to re-edit 2 photos. I went back into the original folder to do so, and re-loaded the whole folder to iphoto.
The 2 re-edited photos don't appear - I have tried to do allI can think of, but they still dont appear.
When I deletd them from the folder in ibook, they also were deleted from the book - but I cant find any facility to add photos to the iphoto folder.
Must have missed something & I hope my explanation isn't too confusing.
These are 'informal' wedding photos I am doing as a wedding present for a friend's daughter so I need to finish ASAP.
Hope you can help,
many thanks.

awimaging:
Try dragging the photos onto the book icon in the left hand pane.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events and iPhoto Slideshow but are in an Album. How do I recover or copy photos back to Events and rebuild slideshow?

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events, an Album I created, and a slideshow using the photos. This "appears" to have happened when upgrading to Yosemite. When I use iPhoto Library Manager, I see two entries for the Event Information for the date in question, same name, same number of photos, but different sizes. The smaller has the image number but no photo for the given date; the larger has the photos.
Image path for the version with all photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24/IMG_0697.jpg
Image path for the version with missing photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24_2/IMG_0697.jpg (NOTE the _2 added to the image number.)
I assume that I have to get the missing pictures back in Events so I can reload back into the Album. Hopefully, the slideshow will magically be better.
Help!

That's an indication that the link/file path between the thumbnail and the master file has been broken. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

IPhoto 08 - Photos missing

I just realized many of my photo in my default album show as missing. When I open my iPhoto library in finder I find all the photo missing but aliases in the folders. Can anyone give me an idea what may have happened?
Thanks,
Bob

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Not sure what your question is
If you want to do a two page layout then under the page design choose the spread layout
If you want to move photos around on a page so they are in different positions select the photo and depress teh command key and press an arrow to move it a bit - add the shift key to more it a bit more
