Photo books and store problems

Whenever I want to send my photo book i get the message that the shop is currently not available? how long does this last? any troubleshooting? Who can help? I would like to have the books for xmas

Hello, Pascal
It does seem you have tried most of the things that help other users.
Although you do not say which iMac you use, as I understand your post, yours has a built-in iSight. If that is correct, when you look in System Profiler and click the following items:
you should see your camera information. If not, your iMac likely needs professional service. Before you go to see your Apple Service Technician, you can consider any of the following items that you think might be relevant. Although some of the following are not a remedy for no iSight in System Profiler, they might help you or other readers who can see their built-in USB iSights in System Profiler but are still experiencing the "camera in use" error.
Do you use the "Mirror" widget in Dashboard? That is one application that people sometimes forget might be running.
If you use an HP printer/scanner, check the suggestion in this post by parkersal.
If you have not yet tried all relevant suggestions in How to Troubleshoot iSight, do so now. Be sure to check whether the problem is application specific as well as user specific.
I understand that you have already reset the SMC, but, if the reset and other Troubleshooting suggestions you perform now do not correct your problem, you can try the following:- Repair permissions.
- Then download and apply the appropriate combo updater for your iMac:
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel) or
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC)
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight and System Profiler again.Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates, but if your iSight still does not show in System Profiler, I think you should see your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
Please let us know what it takes to get sorted.
Cheers,
Jim

    In the iPhoto preferences verify that yo have the correct print products country selected.
    Do you have any firewire software such as Little Snitch?
    Is your internet connection working ok?

  • HELP!!!!  All my photo books and slideshows are GONE!!!!!

    Ran iPhoto 6 on my iMac, and to my horror, found that all my photo books and slide shows (I had tens of them, almost as many as I had albums) are gone!!!! No, I didn't backup my iPhoto library.
    Is there any way on God's green earth to restore these? I worked hundreds of hours on them!!!!

    Celeste:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    First try launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options, ignoring the one regarding orphaned photos.
    If that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a fresh library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the Tip at the end of my signature.
    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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I am very new to Macs and iPhoto so this may be an idiot's question, but I have just created my first photo book and want to buy it, but the "buy book" button is not highlighted and when I click it nothing happens. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks!

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

    I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together.  How can i do this?

    You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
    NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
    Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

  • How to publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb

    Is it possible to (or how do you) publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb created either in Aperture or iPhoto?

    Here's an example of E Books. They're created in iWork and loaded into iWeb as a compressed PDF for download. The photo of the front cover is used for the link.

    For a larger file, you can upload it to a folder on your server and create a link to it from your website.

  • How do I take my Photoshop Elements 11 photo book and get it printed at Shutterfly or similar?

    I have just spend 40 hours working on a beautiful photo book and I cannot find how to send it to Shutterfly for printing.  I selected the Shutterfly option when i started the book, and thought there would be a simple "upload and print" command somewhere.  I can't find any help for this on line.

    While you are in the edit mode of your photobook, you should see three buttons along the bottom: Order, Save, and Close. Clicking Order will send the book to Shutterfly for printing.

  • Help!! How can I again purchase my photo books and calendars?

    Puchase of calendars and photo books is no longer possible from my computer. I have an iMAC, Tiger 10.4.11. !!!!! It seems incredibly stupid to me that I can no longer purchase my own iphoto books and calendars and that Apple, has never warned me or offered me a solution... I asked in the local apple store, and they said my computer is too old (5years) - but I think that is just bad customer's service! I need to solve my problem... anyone?

    It's got nothing to do with the age of your Mac, it's the version of your software.
    And of course you can purchase your own books etc, just not from Apple.

  • Photo Books and Sharpening

    I'm unsure about how to approach sharpening of individual photos for my photo books. Here's the workflow I follow to print books at Shared Ink:
    Import RAW images into Lightroom 2.
    Color Correct/Sharpen images within the Develop Module
    Export RAW images as Tiffs at max res and import into an InDesign template created by me. Inside of InDesign I resize photos to the desired size.
    Create a PDF of the book and then convert PDFs to JPGS to be uploaded to Shared Ink. (They only accept JPGS from a program like InDesign.)
    Here are my questions:
    In step 3, when I export RAW images as Tiffs to place into InDesgin, what sort of Export Sharpening should I be using? LR has matte and Glossy, and then 3 strengths of sharpening. I generally print on matte paper so I know I could use matte.
    When I finally decide on the size of my images within InDesign, do I need to re-export each image from Lightroom at the correct size? I normally include 100s of images in my books and it would take quite a while to do this.
    Thanks, any advice is much appreciated!

    kpdesigns492 wrote:
    When I export from LR2 and apply sharpening, do you recommend exporting at the full size and then sizing down in InDesign? Or would you recommend saving each image at the correct size from LR2 at the outset?
    For the test, I would do a page or two each way.  I think you will find that you can't tell a material difference and thus you can quit thinking about how time consuming it would be (and it would be horrendous in my opinion).  So maybe your test is on 12x12 pages with a background image and three small images on top, one greater than original, one at original and one smaller than original.  Then make a separate page for the following samples:
    1.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at original size.
    2.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Standard output sharpening at original  size.
    3.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output  sharpening at original  size.
    4.     Export the 4 images from LR with no output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly the exported size).
    5.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt,  Standard output sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly  the exported size).
    6.     Export the 4 images from LR with Matt, Low output  sharpening at approximately the sizes for the sample page (then use them at exactly  the exported size).
    This should give you a good idea as to whether output sharpening has a material impact on books printed from SharedInk.  It may not be a good test for other printing but that's OK.  The idea is to find out what is best for this particular book process for YOU.
    Keep me posted.

  • Photo Book Success Stories

    i often read about the frustration folks have been having in ordering books. i was extremely apprehensive about ordering my own recently, based on the comments and feedback i've been reading. i did research on a few alternatives, but they all seemed to be just about even, and in some cases, the iPhoto process was the ideal choice.
    anyhow, i sent in an order for a 36-page hardcover book. i changed the iPhoto PDF dpi preference, as recommended, to 300 dpi using PREF SETTER.
    i also traced the PDF file down on my harddrive and previewed it before placing the order. everything looked fine.
    the only thing i should add, is that the images in my book were all 7" x 7" RGB TIFF files. they were digital paintings done using only Photoshop and no photographic images. just Brush Tool artwork.
    one thing I did, though, was to reformat the 7 x 7 size to fit the actual page size of the hardcover iPhoto book, which was 2592 x 1944.
    i sent in the order with Express delivery. it arrived here in just about 2-3 days - a day faster than expected.
    the book looks sensational. i was very skeptical, as i now had to order 3 more.
    i went through the order process again, obviously much quicker this time.
    the three books arrived even faster this time and looked equally as good as the first. the only noticable characteristics of the print quality were very, very small dot gains - only visible if you looked really closely.
    kudos to Apple for supporting this process and offering this service with the application. this is something i've wanted to do for years but never had the know-how.
    i'd love to hear about anybody else's success stories and what tricks they used to get the job done.

    I'm just about to order my first book (the large size) for a gift and very happy to read the success stories. Before I go ahead with the order, I have some questions:
    I have compiled the book and it's 'ready to go' but I am concerned if the resolution will be good enough. Can I change the dpi setting to 300 at this point or will I lose all the work that I've done?
    Also, there's one caption box that's displaying the ! error symbol but there's no text in that box and I don't want to put text in it. Is this a bug and should I just ignore it?
    And finally, is there any way to spell check before submitting the order?
