Photo Books, Calendars, Cards

Considering moving to Aperture. Does it have the very simple online printing of books, calendars and cards as is found in iPhoto?
Looking at the manual I see more sophisticated ways of preparing books etc, but sometimes it is nice to just be simpler and quicker for family etc

Aperture doesn't seem to have any options to order calendars and cards; click here for the instructions with books and prints.

  • IPhoto, Photo Books, Calendar, Cards

    Hi There
    I have tried to create a calendar with iPhoto, I have got a calendar saved but it says there are no themes available and it will not open the Calendar up. If I try to create a new Calendar, Photo Book or Card it comes up with the box to select a theme but there are no themes to select from.
    Can anyone help please?!!!?
    Thanks
    Matt

    Restoring iPhoto Themes
    First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
    1 - delete the current application.
    2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
    4 - mount the system disk that came with your computer, double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
    After installing reinstall the latest iPhoto updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Address in Luxembourg country for creating photo books or cards

    I'm living in Luxembourg and I can't fill my receiving address when I command photos or card or photo books. France or Belgium or other europeans countries but Luxembourg isn't available. What can I do ?

    There does not yet seem to be an Apple Print Products Store in Luxembourg. I see it neither in the routing page http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing nor in iPhoto's preferences panel where you can select the Print Products store.
    Would it be possible for you to use the Apple Store of a neighboring country and get the books delivered to a friend's address in that country?

  • Hard Drive Crash - getting a Photo Book onto new computer

    I just had a catastrophic hard drive crash on my G5 iMac (still using 10.4, so no Time Machine). Thankfully I actually got all my photos back - backed up 2 months ago, most of the rest are still on our memory card, and the few that aren't I could save using a disk recovery program.
    However, I still have an iPhoto hard copy book on the dead drive, but hadn't ordered it yet, and would like to recover it. Even with the disk recovery program, the iPhoto library is in bad shape (I couldn't copy it to another drive - just got an error message). However, most of it appears intact. Here's what I'm hoping to do:
    1) Restore (on a new drive) from my backup from 2 months ago
    2) Copy back in the photos I either saved from the dead hard drive, or from my camera's card.
    3) Somehow get back the iPhoto book I'd been working on. Here's my question - where in my old iPhoto library would I find the file or files that make up this book? If I find them, can I simply copy those files into my backed-up iPhoto library? Or is there some other way I can get my iPhoto book back?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. All books, calendars, cards, etc. are contained in the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto. If you can recover that file from your damaged drive put it in your recovered library and see if it will bring back the book. However, if the structure of the library package is not exactly like it was when it crashed it will not work.
    Without a complete backup of the iPhoto LIbrary package it's neigh on to impossible to recover a book or calendar from bits and pieces of a recovered library. There are other ways a library can be damaged, primarily the database file, and a very easy way to recover from it is to have a *very current* backup copy of the database file. One way to achieve is it described in the tip at the end of my signature. It describes a way to have a backup copy that can be only minutes old if you run it properly.
    Also, to protect your image files themselves get an external HD and use it to backup the full library and other important files.

  • Photo Book: Alert Symbol/Deleting Blank Pages?

    Greetings,
    Two questions:
    (I'm assembling a photo book for the first time...)
    1. What does it mean when there's a small yellow alert symbol (a yellow triangle) in the upper right corner of my image?
    2. How do I delete blank pages from the end of my photo book? I've created too many...
    Thanks!
    -Mark

    It means your photo is below 180 dpi
    LN
    PS you may find a couple of things useful
    1 - iPhoto have a neat system called HELP - click on the HELP menu and ask your question
    The reaults for "Yellow Triangle" includes the following
    If you see a low-resolution alert
    A digital photo is made up of millions of individual dots of color, called “pixels.” A photo’s “resolution” is the number of dots per inch (dpi) that it contains. The higher the resolution, the more dots per inch. Some photos look jagged or blurry when printed if their resolution is too low.
    When you include low-resolution photos in a book, calendar, card, or print order, an alert symbol marks those photos.
    To improve a photo’s print quality:
    Choose a smaller print size. In a book or calendar layout, you can do this by increasing the number of photos per page.
    If you previously cropped the photo, revert to its original version, and then crop off a smaller portion, or leave it uncropped.
    If you positioned a photo within its frame by zooming in on it, zoom out of the photo.
    If you continue to see a low-resolution alert after trying these methods, you can still order prints of the image or include it in your book, calendar, or card, but it may not print as clearly as your other photos.

  • Photo Book editing locks iPhoto solid

    Has anyone else had this issue? On my Retina MBP, everytime that I try to edit my Photo Book I'm building, the entire app freezes. I have to perform a Force Quit on it and re-launch it. This happens constantly, in the span of 90 seconds I performed a Force Quit three times.
    I've got the latest updates for it, for OS X and the MB updates that come in the app store. I'm not sure how else to fix this. There are no devices plugged into my USB ports, HDMI or Thunderbolt ports, so it's not something external causing it. This is the only app that causes this, any suggestions? They'd be much appreciated!
    Thanks.

    That new librarary was a test to see if it was the old library's fault or a wider problem.  It proved to be a problem with your old library. 
    You can recover your old library as follows:  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 #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    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 Home/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: 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.

  • Ordering photo books

    I'm interested in upgrading to iPhoto11, mainly for the ability to create and print photo books, calendars, etc.  Does anyone know who handles the printing?  In other words, how is using iPhoto any different from creating a photo book on Shutterfly's site, or Kodak gallery's site, etc?
    Thanks for your help.
    Shelly

    No - I think Kodak does but that is not information Apple shares  --  and it might be different tomorrow
    As to how it is different - it is Apple, not ShutterFly or Kodak Gallery - you should use the one that fits your need the best and is the easiest for you to use

  • Printing of books, calendars and cards is impossible

    Hello,
    I just discovered a big problem with iPhoto 7.1.1 (354). It is impossible to choose a book, calendar or card template. But everythin I shoul need is in the folder "iphoto" in the Library's "Application Support". What can I do?
    Of course, I have made a new installation of iPhoto from the system CD, but this did not change anything.
    I would really appreciate any help!
    Sincerely
    Peter Weber

    4 - reinstall iPhoto and update to the latest version, 7.1.1.
    5 - repair disk permissions with Disk Utility. NOTE: could take up to 20 or more minutes as there's a problem/bug with this process in Leopard.
    6 - launch iPhoto and try printing again.

  • Can't use the Calendar, Book, and Card functions

    I have updated my iLife programs to iLife 08 and cannot use the Calendar, Book, and Card functions as the program says the themes have not been installed.

  • IPhoto v8 no themes for calendar, cards, books etc

    I upgraded to iLife 08 and I now can't make any books cards etc using iPhoto. I used to be able to do fine, but since the upgrade it just says "No themes installed, this feature will remain disabled until atleast 1 theme is installed"
    Does anyone know how I can get this working? I tried deleting the .plist file for iPhoto and re-install and nothing and I set up a test account and it doesn't work on that account either.
    I have found the themes folder in applications support and there are loads of folders with .plist files in them - relating to the themes, so I'm guessing they have been installed but iPhoto wont have it.

  • Can't use Calendars, Cards and Books- lost themes?

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum but I think this is more a problem with how I installed it rather than anything related to the actual products.
    Whenever I click on calendars already created, or on new calendar it keeps telling me that there are no themes installed and that this function won't work until they are- I think this might be because rather than installing the whole iLife 08 suite- (I didn't want the new iMovie) I simply dragged the previous installation I'd done on another mac (I bought a family pack) on to my iBook.
    So does anyone know where I'd find the themes or where to install them?

    Sri, Theo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    simply dragged the previous installation I'd done on another mac (I bought a family pack) on to my iBook.
    Installing iPhoto that way didn't install all of the necessary support documents, including the themes. Delete the iPhoto application and install iPhoto, custom install to install only iPhoto, from the iLife 08 disk. Then run the iPhoto 7.1.1 and iLife Support 8.1.1 updaters. That will get you the themes back.

    1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
    2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
    3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto
