Ordering calendars

I bought iLife for the calendar facility but I'm having problems ordering the one I have made. One-click is in place, but when I try to place my order there are three credit cards in view none of which is mine and so I keep getting sent back to that page. Submitting a question to Apple is useless as they say they can't respond etc. except, as usual, to refer me to Discussions.
I can print my own calendar but just this one first time I wanted it done really well with the correct binder thing and hook. Anyone help?
Thanks,
Helen

Helen:
That is downright bizarre, getting other credit cards popping up on one's account. Try going to your account on line and reset everything again, card, address, etc. Then see if you can get the order window with the right card, etc.
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, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

Ordering Calendars for delivery in different countries? Live in the UK and want to order a calendar for printing/delivery in Canada. However - can't change the default country -even changed the address in my Apple Account, no result. Any suggestions?

The general rule is that the shipping address must be in the same country as the billing address of the credit card used to order. However, you can try changing the Print Products store in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to Canada and try ordering again.

System will not allow me to order calendars

I have made calendars on IPhoto for several years. This year I made the calendar and went to order it. It asks me to update and approve my account info which I did about 8 times. Then i go to order the calendars and the system asks me to update and approve me account. This happens over and over. I am using a 10.6.8 Imac system and I am using IPhoto '09 8.1.2(424). I guess if cannot solve this problem so, I'll have to build and order a calendar from a different source.

I cannot sign in to view my bill and/or pay it. It does allow me to change my pwd but I go to review my account information, there's nothing. I've cleared cache, tried different browsers and my laptop. I cannot log in to my actual account.
I get this message:
"We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience."

Creating a PDF and Ordering Calendar's Issues

Ok, so I’m new to this iPhoto program. I have been using it to organize all my pictures, fixing red eye and such. So I decided I would make a calendar for my wife this year. I choose a template, started dragging photos and adding birth dates.
I did notice some photos that were low resolution would have a yellow ! next to them, so I would change the picture so the ! went away.
I then double checked everything, no warning anywhere, everything looked good, so I uploaded it to Apple, waited and now found the order was canceled due to some errors they had and told me to go through the calendar again and look for any errors or warnings, so I did. I do not see anything. Am I missing something?
I also tried to create a PDF of the calendar, the PDF was created however there is no text on it at all.
I went back, checked the fonts and they are all set to Default which I assume are the ones built into the system since I know if you use special fonts Apple may not be able to print it.
Can someone help me? I know its to late to order the Calendar now so I'm thinking of bringing the PDF to Kinko’s and maybe get it created there is they can do it.
Thanks!

MacMan_B:
Don't had a confirmed fix but you might try deleting the iPhoto cache folder from the User/Library/Caches folder. Restart the computer and then relaunch iPhoto. Then check the calendar via PDF and see if that helped or not.
If you do get it fixed and printed at Kinkos post back on the results. Several users, including myself, have thrown that idea around. Good luck.
Do you Twango?

Ordering Calendar in Australia

Hi,
I have just spent quite a bit of time putting a calendar together and unfortunately have found out I can't order it in Australia. Does anybody know another way?
I have looked into digitaldavinci but its $70 plus shipping, about 4 times the price.
Would it be possible to order using my Australian credit card and get it sent to the UK?
thankyou to anybody who can help

I'm having this same issue. I'm desperately trying to get a hardcover book in New Zealand for my sisters 21'st.
Any ideas?

IPhoto 11 cannot order calendar/freeze on account preferences

I am using iPhoto 11 on a Mac Notebook.
Every year, my husband creates and orders a calendar through iPhoto. This year, we upgraded to iPhoto 11 and we were not able to place an order. The order pages were blank. We went to the iPhotos>Preferences>Accounts tab. Our apple ID is not there. What is there are 2 old account names I have not used in years.
So here's the problem: I would like to delete those accounts and put in the latest account info, but every time I go to the account page, it freezes. The first ID listed is I guess a MobileMe account, and the screen shows "iDisk Usage" and I just get spinning cursor of death.
Is there ANY way to delete these accounts so that I can order things using iPhoto again?

Replying to myself....
Anyway for those of you who where having problems with randomizing photos during/before export (as I was when stumbled upon this thread), I came across an solution that worked for me.
First I selected the photos from the album I had created, and exported them as original jpgs.
Then I used this terminal script to randomly generate file names:
for i in *.jpg; do mv $i $RANDOM.jpg; done
Further instructions here
Then, in order not to have duplicate versions of the photos in my iPhoto library, I created a new library, and imported the photos, with random names.
Made an album, that sorts the photos by filename.
Made an slideshow from that album (sorted by file name).
Exported to QT (or whatever).
Deleted the new temporary iPhoto library.
Hope this helps.

Ordering Calendar

Has anyone solved the problem of even being recognized by Apple after clicking on Buy Calendar?
I have an account with 1 click enabled, but I can't even get a cursor in the highlighted Apple ID Box via Buy Calendar. The Quantity Box remains gray. I've contacted Apple and received a reply. I've tried all of their suggestions with no success. If they can't answer or fix this problem, I'll need to use the Kodak Gallery - but their calendar does not permit adding info such as birthdays to the calendar portion. So much for modern technology!

Okay now its fixed. The order system kept asking me to "set up a new account" even though I've had one for years. I decided to go ahead and pretend to sign in and set up a new account and once I was there all my existing account data automatically populated the data fields. I went through the motions of setting up a new account (although it was using all my current account info) untl the end when I provided the new credit card account info. After all that was finished I was able to select the number of calenders I wanted, shipping options, etc, and completed processing my order. Heres hoping that all worked correctly.

Ordering calendar from Canada

Being in Canada, if I order a calendar or book, does it get printed in the US or Canada? The cost must be higher if it's from the US.
Any experiences?
thanks

The calendar gets printed in the US. I just ordered and recieved a calendar that i ordered to check out the cost and quality.
The final cost is expensive, the bill in Canadian dollars was $32.80 for the calendar with taxes and shipping, plus a printed material customs tariff of $14.00 for a total of $46.80.
Too costly for my tastes, i will not be ordering any more calandars/ books etc. from Apple until they get a printer in Canada.
I took my new calandar down to the local printers and they said they would print it from the pdf for $22.00 in a larger format. Guess who gets my business now.

Ordering Calendar from iCal?

So I wan to order my calendar from iCal so i click buy and it tells me the price and thats it. How do I print it and pay for it?

Are you trying to buy an iPhoto calendar?
After you press the "Buy" button and see the price of your order, you need to press the blue button "pay" in the lower right corner to place your order.

Help ordering calendar from iPhoto

Hi,
I am trying to order a calendar from iPhoto - I have done this successfully for the last 4 years. This time when I go to order I get a message saying I have recently updated my account information, so I go into my profile and everything looks OK - I even reenter my credit card - and try again. Sometimes at this point I get an error saying I do not have a valid city/state/zip combination, but it is the same as always. Sometimes I get through that and try and order the calendar again and I get the original message.
I don't know if this is an iPhoto error, a print products issue, or an apple ID issue.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Sometimes at this point I get an error saying I do not have a valid city/state/zip combination, but it is the same as always.
The invalid zip code suggests you are ordering from an Apple Print Products store in a foreign country and not your home country.
Check, if you are connected to the correct Apple Print Products Store:
iPhoto Preferences > Advanced > Print Products Store
The country in this setting needs to be the same as the country of your billing address and delivery address.

Trying to order calendar ..but each time it says that I must verify address..but then it goes back to reassembling the calendar and then saying I must verify my address

Made calendar..when I try to purchase..it puts together the calendar but then says that I need toi verify my account information...but if I try to do anything...it just goes back and assembles the calendar again and then says that I need to verify my account information,

Go to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and re-emter (not just verify)all of your information,
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.
and if the preview is fine order

Change of Country while ordering calendar???

Hi, I am from Australia and have an Australian iTunes account. I bought my Mac in Oz and am currently living in the UK. I have made a calendar and now want to ship it to Australia but now iPhoto thinks Im a new user with a UK iTunes account! When I type in my username and pw it says i do not exsist and I need to create a new one. How do i get iphoto to accept to Australian account???

According to me it should not be a problem but you better ask this directly from oracle. You can either mail them at [email protected] or call them. You can find the number of OCP exam person in your area here:

BECAREFUL ORDERING CALENDARS OR ANYTHNG ELSE THROUGH ILIFE!!!!!

I had the same problem others were having after installing iphoto 6. Not being able to get the "buy calendar" process to work, I deleted and reinstalled the iphoto app. This corrected that problem.
Next, I started the purchase of 4 calendars for over 112 dollars. Each time the process failed stating that my network connection failed this is during a time when I was using safari and seeing no dropped pages or slowdowns. I thought it might be another issue than the internet connection, so I kept trying as it requested me to do.
Guess what? Each attempt charged my credit card, till it maxxed out!!!
I am extremely upset that they charged my credit card so many times. I called and requested that they correct my credit card and the person on the phone told me to email iphoto support. Can you believe it? They abused my credit card and they want me to email in the issue?

I know this won't help you but thought I might give an internal perspective on Plastic Card charges. I'm a developer for a large Bank here in the UK, and i've seen a few issues (read lots) over authorizations / charges.
When you use a card in a store (online or whatever) they will request an authorization code from VISA etc. VISA pass the request onto the cardholding Bank and we return a yes or no depending on your funds. The store will then proceed or decline the transaction, but as of this point no charge has been recorded. The Banks will record a Pre-Auth charge (for us its 3 days) but until the merchant submits the actual charge we earmark the funds.
Now if the merchant does not submit the charges (as in your case) the authorizations will drop off (again its 3 days for us) but the merchant can still request the funds up to 180 days later. Also merchants can submit charges without having requested authorization (on their own head if you don't have the funds).
Now our system is such that our account holding system only holds entries that have been applied. IE only when the charge is submitted by the merchant and applied to your account. The Pre-Auth charges are held in a separate database used for authorizations.
Because of this design, the Pre-Auth charges cannot be removed until either the merchant submits the actual charge, or they drop off after 3 days.
So when our customers have this issue, what the staff do is increase your credit limit for a few days, by the amount of the ghost entries (if your an acceptable risk customer).
So yes whilst Apple are at fault for submitting the authorizations, your Bank really should be assisting you. Its their system thats causing the issues.
I'm not trying to defend Apple, its just that I can see from the internal point of view how this might occur.
However, it remains that you (as a customer) should not have to be aware of these details, the Bank should do whatever to sort it out.
Customer service really isn't that hard. Do what the customer wants, and say sorry when it goes wrong.

Lightroom 6 Library View... Need to see folders of photos in chronological order (calendar view)... help

I am a relatively new Lightroom user migrating from vesiion 5.7 to version 6 on a Windows 7 platform. Is there anyway LR can provide a view in the Library that is in chronological/calendar format (by folders containing photos) from the most current date to the oldest date when photos were shot?
Thanks Larry

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset its preferences and try the slideshow again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
