Ordering iPhoto calendar

After working for several hours on a calendar as a gift for my dad, I have been unable to successfully order it. I have an Apple ID that I frequently use with iTunes to buy music, but when I click "Buy Calendar", I can only click on "Set Up New ACcount"; "Account Info" is not highlighted. So then I click on "Set Up New Acct.", sign in with my apple id and password, and then it takes me to "Set Up Account: Step 1 of 3." All my info on Steps 1-3 is already filled in correctly, so I just click next, and then on Step 3 when I hit continue, I always get the message, "An unexepected error occurred. Please try again later. I have been trying for a month now and get that same message every time, though I have purchased several items on iTunes in this past month. It's almost like iPhoto is not recognizing my Apple ID/account. Do you have any ideas? I am very frustrated.
Thanks,
Jianming

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Contact Apple via this link: http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/calendars/. Lay out the problem in detail and submit. You should hear back from them in 1-2 days.
Also log into your account thru the Store button at the top and then the Youre Account on that page, as opposed thru iPhoto, and see if you can confirm your account that way without an error.

Ordered Iphoto calendar. One picture is blurred and bad. Can I get a new calendar?

Ordered an iphoto calendar for 2015. One picture is blurred and bad. Can I get a new calendar? To whom do I report this problem?
Joan

Maybe - did you preview the calendar -
Before ordering your calendar preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered calendar will match it.
What is the printed size of the image and what are it's pixel dimensions - it need to be no less than 150 DPI for a good, clear print
You can contact Apple at the address included in your order confirmation email and see what they will do - but if the picture is too small reprinting will not help

Allow others to order iPhoto calendar via Apple Photos Services (or other)

I thought I saw this option somewhere, but I have an iPhoto calendar that I've printed through Apple Photo Services for myself. I now want to make that cal available for others to print without having to be involved in placing the order for them. Is that possible? Ideally, they would not even need a .mac account, but could order as a guest. If Apple does not offer this service, does anyone know of a short-run printer that will take the PDF and make a cal of it? Fed Ex/Kinko's does not have a lot of info on their site for that kind of thing. I will call them shortly.
Thanks.

Thanks Terence. I assume the file is stored on the Apple server for 4 weeks (in which time it is removed), so I'm unclear why they can't assign it a unique number and allow me to send that number to my mom who can use it to order the cal. That does not seem impossible to me and could help Apple make more money on prints.

How can I order a calendar that I created in iPhoto 7.1.5, now incompatible with Apple Store.

How can I order a calendar that I created in iPhoto 7.1.5 which is now incompatible with the Apple Store? I am using a mac pro 1,1 which cannot upgrade to the new version of iPhoto.

You could try to upgrade to an earlier iPhoto '11 version, since you are running Snowleopard.
iPhoto '11 should still be available as part of the boxed retail version of iLife '11.
Try to buy one at Amazon, then upgrade to iPhoto 9.2.x from the Support page: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iphoto%209.2

I cannot order a calendar in iPhoto '09 (8.1.2)

I have tried ordering a calendar on iPhoto _09 version 8.1.2 and when i click order calendar i get two options 1) Cancel or 2) Set up an account. I already have an account and cancel definitely won't work so i click set up an account and enter my Apple account credentials which i have had for years and the next screen is 1 of 3 "create Apple ID" but all the information is prefilled with my previously entered apple ID info. Thats it i cannot go any further. Any ideas?

Go to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and delete and re-enter all of your information including billing information and be sure express check out is set

IPhoto calendar ordering problems

Hi all,
I have been having serious problems ordering an iPhoto calendar.
First, I ordered it on Monday using express shipping, such that it should have arrived by Friday, and instead on Friday I got a cryptic email saying "Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged. We recommend updating your software, previewing your print product in iPhoto or Aperture, and placing the order again." (My iPhoto is fully updated and I've ordered calendars before with no problem.) I spent about 30 very frustrating minutes on the phone with Apple (worst customer service experience I've had with them) trying to get an explanation, but got none, and ultimately they told me I should re-place it and they'd give me free overnight shipping when they saw my order (nice enough...).
I'm now trying to re-order and am repeatedly getting the message "Your credit card information could not be verified at this time," no matter the card I use. Has anyone had either of these problems? Any advice? I am loathe to get on the phone with Apple again given the number of times it took to even reach someone who knew anything about print products.
I'm at the point of dropping Apple's print products entirely and going with another provider in the future. The ease of using iPhoto to make calendars is totally outweighed by this ordering and shipping ridiculousness...
Thanks for any suggestions!

I created an iPhoto Calendar and an iPhoto book. Now I'd like to order them together (one order, one postage). How can I do that?

Of course - that is exactlhy why i told you that you can not because it is not a feature of iPhoto
You can not order different products in a single order. Period. exactly!

. I have version 10.6.8 at the moment... how do I update this?
As Terence Devlin said, the upgrade to Mavericks is free at the AppStore. Open the first tab at the AppStore (Featured) and you can buy it for free, if your Mac can be upgraded to Mavericks.
But before you do that, check the applications you need to use for compatibility with Mavericks, for example at Roaring Apps: http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
PowerPC applications can no longer run on Mavericks, some device drivers may not be available as Mavericks compatible versions.
To prepare for the update take these precautions:
Make a full backup of your mac, including the applications libraries. In addition to the TimeMachine backup a bootable clone is very useful, since it enables you to revert easily to the old system.
Update all applications to there latest version, thatare available on Snowleopard.
If you find, that the Mavericks upgrade would make too many applications redundant, consider Terence Devlin's second option to buy the boxed iLife version.

How To Prepare Images For iPhoto Calendar Order...

I am getting ready to order a calendar through iPhoto '09 and try as I might I have been unable to find the directions on their website as to the specs they want followed in prepping the images. I know I found them last year but I can't find them this year. Does someone know what the color space, pixel dimensions, etc. Apple wants for a calendar. Better yet, do you know where on earth they have this info hidden?
Thanks!

Sometimes I wonder if I should have majored in abstract math concepts instead of journalism. Taking photos today involves far more math than in the good ole days of film. A fine art photographer colleague of mine used to teach Physics at Bates College and when I told him I envied him for his background he asked me why. When I responded by saying that it would allow him to understand digital photography. He laughed and said, " I've got news for you ole friend this stuff is every bit as confusing to me as it is to you. Oh well, I'm old and won't have suffer too much longer I guess.
Thanks!

No I didn't even read through your post, to long.
You said that "No matter what program I try to install, as soon as the installer opens it crashes". Were you talking about the install for this/these 3D programs or ANY program? As it is worded it sounded like ANY program. That tells me there is a problem with your Mac, software or hardware.
Now you say others install programs, which is it. Programs other then the 3D ones install or no programs install?
Could simply be your Mac is to old to run these programs and the installer knows that. You never said what model or year Mac it is.

ICal events duplicated, missing in iPhoto calendar

It's that time of year again, when I make my annual calendar. Only this year it isn't going smoothly.
When I go to the calendar settings and choose which iCal events I want, I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior.
Items from two calendars for the same day won't both appear on the calendar. I want to add a July 4 birthday, but I can get either Independence Day or the birthday, not both.
As I added calendars, sometimes events already listed became duplicated or triplicated (not with US Holidays, but other calendars).
Is anyone else having this problem and more importantly, does any one have a solution.
Calendar ordering time is fast upon us. One of the things that makes an iPhoto calendar worth the extra bucks is that it has all the dates I want on it. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Those are bugs that need to be reported to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
Not much we can do about it.

Ordering a calendar in UK, not working, or is it me?

Hello,
I'm trying to order a calendar that I've designed in iPhoto. The order button is greyed out, so I can't press order. I have "one-click ordering" enabled, but do I also need a .mac account? Or is this service not available in the uk?
Thanks

I managed to order a pair of Calendars on the 17th...
Order status was shipped, but with no confirmation email until 23rd. it says I have to expect 7-9 days from receipt of email for delivery, so possibly 1st of February....
So at least then it worked - are you getting the same grayed out button on books?

Quality of iPhoto Calendars

I just received 3 calendars I ordered through iPhoto and am aghast at the print quality, in particular the color. Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Is this due to high volume during the holiday rush?
I ordered 7 calendars last year without any problems, except for one that was misaligned and was eventually resent.

Robert:
Apple uses the sRGB profile for it's products and if you were to have the Adobe RRB profile that could cause muddy, darker photos. If the printers are set up for the Adobe profile I understand you can get better prints. But many providers are not. Many camera's RGB profile are very similar to the sRGB when compared with the ColorSync application and print up just fine by Apple. I don't know enough about the nuances of color management and the digital printing to be any more specific.
However, here is what Apple sent me in response to a request about material quality in books:
I contacted Apple and asked for information that I could pass on. Here's the reply I received from Apple:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with RGB color space are recommended for best results.
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.
For more information regarding iPhoto 2, please visit the following article:
iPhoto: Color, Black and White Prints Appear Garbled or Distorted
For more information regarding iPhoto 5, please visit the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165501
For what it's worth here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."
Also here's a link to a digital press operator's comments (dusky) on the subject: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3751865&#3751865
I have to agree with kam973 in that the problem is associated with a particular printing facility. Something got out of whack for some of the runs I'm guessing.

Iphoto calendar creation won't let me make a calendar more than 12 months long even though I have chosen a 14 page calendar

In iphoto calendar creation, I have selected a 13 month calendar from December 2012-December 2013, wanting 13 pages. I have selected all my photos for the year and have started placing them in the Calendar. I'm at October and noticed that December is missing. Thought maybe i didn't request a 13 month calendar, but I have. Seems like the more months I want in the calendar, the end months keep dropping off. If i want a 14 month calendar starting in November 2012, then November and December 2013 are then gone. so....I changed it over and over trying to get the months back, but to no avail. I've created a new empty project calendar, requesting 13 months, and all 13 months are there. Problem is.....how do I get all the pictures from the old calendar over to the new ones without having to reselected 200 pictures again? Or is there a way to fix the original missing pages? Thanks.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
In that case make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
