Order of photos into a book

I have 400 photos I wish to import into a book. The max pages pf a book is 100. I wish to design the pages and then import the phots in a pre arranged order to save time. Is this possible?  have done the following. I have used autoflow and it does not import all the pics. It does howvere not appear to import the pics in the order I created in the album I imported from.I have then editted the pages and then deleted all pics and the book defaults back to a 20 page document?

Gary, the post from kswbird at the bottom of the following thread may be of help in your aim to preserve the photo order:

  • Many times I drop a photo into a book page box and it resizes it.  I want to scale it smaller but it only allows me to make it bigger.  Why can't I slide to make it smaller?

    Control (right) - click on the photo in the frame and select Fit to Frame Size in the contextual menu.
    Here's an extreme example of that:

  • Problem Dragging a photo into a BOOK project

    I did this last week. But now I can't seem to drag a photo out of one album into a book album so that I can add this photo to the book during the layout process. There doesn't seem to be a work-around for this. When I called Apple, they wanted $199.00 to help me trouble-shoot this. Anyone have any ideas how I could fix this or make this work?

    I hope I have the right context: Ruscle is correct, but you have another option. If its not the pick of the stack, you can designate a non-pick as an "album pick". It should work for the book you are working on from then on. Go to the Stack menu and select Album Pick. See example here (scroll about halfway down - look for the "Non-Pick Images" error window):

  • Place a photo into a book older that 12 months

    I assembling photos from a 6 year period and put them in an album. then I used that album to create a book. now I want to add a photo I forgot but the tap only shows me the album and the last 12 months. How do I place a picture that;s older?

    Remember that we can not see what you are doing so correct terminology is critical so we both understand each other
    I open the folder with the photo I want.
    Folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - folders hold other folders or albums - never photos
    you can drag from photos view, event view or an album
    If you open the photo in the event or album does it open up?
    Try renewing your iPhoto preference file -
    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Photos into iPhoto book has a grid on it?

    Wow, what's this? I've made a couple dozen iPhoto books already, but am coming up with something weird - a white grid covers some of the photos, and prints as such. Hm. They vary, but the average photo is a DVD size constrained, average around 7MB. Some have a white grid (looks like a spiderweb) then some have a black grid. Gets exciting when you open and close the photos because the "web" goes from pale to bright!
    Thanks,

    Hi S. Katia - you would have a much better chance of receiving knowledgeable advice by asking this in the iPhoto forum.

  • HT3412 can i import the titles of photos into a book?

    trying to get photo title into a book

    That theme are you using? Some themes have a text field for the Title that gets populated automatically.  Does your theme have such a text field.
    The one theme that I know has that is Folio.
    Otherwise Command (right) - click on each photo on the page and select Edit from the contextual menu.  In the edit mode the file title will be displayed at the top of the Edit window.  You can copy it, exit the Edit mode and paste it in the text box as needed. Not a very elegant workflow but will work.

  • Problem dragging some photos into book.. they don't show at all.

    I have a problem dragging some photos into a book. I've never had this issue before. I can tell that "something" has moved because it often has a ! for resolution issues and the photo has the white check that signifies it has been used....but the photo doesn't show at all.
    The photos were made into sepia prints.
    Help! Any suggestions about what could be wrong?
    Thanks for any advice.

    The ! indicates that iPhoto has broken/lost the file path to the original file. Make a backup copy of the library and run the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    Fix #2
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    Fix #3
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • Chronological order to photos....

    Is there a way to chronologically order the photos in a book and then autoflow them ?

    Yes. In the book mode with the thumbnail tray displayed go to the View->Sort menu and select By Date. That will order the photos chronologically. You can then use the autofill mode to put them in the book.

    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.

  • I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    You can make the collages easily if you have iWork.  Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary.  Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround. 
    If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

  • What can i do when i try to order a photo book and the upload will not complete

    I have been trying to order a photo book thru iphoto and my computer crashes during the upload portion of the process.  Help!

    1 -
    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.
    2 - if the preview is good boot into safe mode and order

  • I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order.  How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

    I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library.  When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ...  How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

    First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
    Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.

  • I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post on youtube. How can I do this with my mac?

    I need to change a photo into a video file in order to post in youtube. How can I do this with my mac mini?

    When I go to import, the choices are :
    movies
    camera archive
    imovie for IOS
    imovie for HD
    It refuses to import a photo with any of these choices, which is located on the desktop or in a folder. It's a regular .jpg
    There are instructions to drag it. I put it there, and it bounces right back. The photo will not stay.
    I just need this one picture to go on so I can post a meditation on youtube.  It doesn't come from a camera.
