Photo books - unplaced photos

Hi. I just created a photo book with 100 pages, but I have still have several hundred unplaced photos in my book. I want to create another book using only the unplaced photos from the first book. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

You might try it this way:
Select your Book in the "Projects" section of the Library.
Ctrl-click the icon and select "Duplicate" from the Pop-up menu. This will create a second copy of your book. Open this new Book.
Click the "Photos " tab.
Then press "Clear Placed Photos". Now you'll have a new book with only your unplaced Photos.
Alternately you may set the selector on top to "Unplaced Photos" to be able to select them and create a new book from the unplaces photos.

How do I create a photo book in photo

how how do I create a photo book on my iPad in Photo now that ive converted from iPhoto

Right now you don't. There is no such capability in Photo at present.

Creating a photo book and photo in RIGHT side pane are not in order. Making it hard to make my book

I am trying to make a Book. I have alot of photos and i dont like how iphoto is not putting them all in. So i created my own book and added alot of pages with 4-11 pic. average per page. however, when i try to add my photos from the right side panel they are not in order. i can not figure out for the life of me how to get them into order and why that are out of order in the first place

With '11 the photo in the book pane are in data order - the only suggestion I've seen is to put them in an album and order them the way you want and use the batrch change time and date to make the date order the way you want to see them
I've not messed with this and am not sure how you get back to the correct dates after you are done
I consider this a bug and suggest reporting to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Why doesn't iPhoto 08 back up photo book?

When I go to Share>Burn to burn a folder that has an album, slideshow, and photo book, the photo book does not get backed up. In previous iPhoto 06 version, it was possible to burn the photo book.
Any ideas?
Thanks

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.

Keeping album order in photo book

I have created an album of photos (about 180) and ordered them manually. I would like to keep the photos in this album to create a photo book. When I do a "select all" and create photo book, the photos don't appear in the same order as in the album. Is there some way of doing this without having to manually re-sort the photos all over again for the book?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I believe the photos get sorted by date in the book thumbnail area.
See monkeyx3's post in this topic for one workaround: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12809424#12809424.

Solution to iPhoto spinning beach ball for Book projects with too many unplaced photos

A few days ago I discovered the solution to this problem for a client using iPhoto 9.5.1 in OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
=====
TRIED ALL KNOWN SUGGESTIONS BUT NONE HELPED
My client had already tried repairing, rebuilding etc. the iPhoto Library, and I tried OS X's Disk Verify and Repair Permissions plus emptied the cache folder in system Library and in the hidden user Library folder (option-key "Go" menu, Library). None of this helped.
CLUE TO PROBLEM
I noticed several of her iPhoto Book projects each had thousands of "unplaced" photos. In each of those cases, each Book project only had 10-50 "placed" photos used to order the book but thousands of "unplaced" photos. In a Book project, clicking on the bottom-right corner's "Photo" icon-button caused an extremely long lasting spinning beach ball making iPhoto unusable for long periods.
I discovered the problem by clicking once on an existing Book project's name in the left column of iPhoto, then letting go of the mouse with its arrow cursor hovering over the selected Book project name. Within 1-7 seconds, a little pop-up appears listing the total number of photos (placed + unplaced) in that Book project. For many Book projects, the total number was just several more photos than the number of "placed" photos, e.g., a Book with 25 photos showed "(37)" in the pop-up info by the hovering stationary mouse, meaning 37 total photos (placed + unplaced) are associated with that Book project.
BUT...
...some projects listed over 5,000 (five thousand) photos associated with a single Book project that had only placed 20-40 photos in the final printed book. One Book project had 6,070 and several other small book projects showed over 1,000 photos. In each Book project with a mass of unplaced photos, clicking the bottom-right "Photo" icon-button caused a very long-lasting spinning beach ball, almost certainly because iPhoto struggled to build a huge list of thumbnails for the mass of unplaced photos.
My client didn't understand how to efficiently add photos to a new Book project and was clicking on the pull-down menu in the right column that appears after clicking the Photo icon-button within the Book project. From the menu she chose "Last import..." or other menu choice that added a mass of "unplaced" photos to the Book project.
She didn't realize that after creating a new Book project, she could simply drag an individual photo or multi-selected group of photos or an event or "faces" group from its respective library section and drop it onto the Book project's name in the left column, thereby adding only a small group of "unplaced" photos.
USER SOLUTIONS
=====Delete mass of "unplaced photos" within a Book project
This works best for cleaning up smaller number of unplaced photos from completed Book projects.
Problems with solution:
- if the number of unplaced photos is huge, e.g., 6,070, the list of unplaced photos won't appear for a long, long time if ever.
- even if the list of unplaced photos finally appears, there's no way to select more than one thumbnail at a time, i.e., command-a for Select All doesn't work, nor do shift-clicks and command-clicks for multi-item selecting. You must click one photo then tap the "delete" key on your keyboard repeatedly and fast for this to be practical (note: delete key presses are cached here (meaning accumulated until it catches up processing them later); tapping the delete key like mad then waiting for iPhoto to catch up takes lots of patience.
====Delete an entire existing Book project containing a mass association of unplaced photos
This is practical if you've already printed your Book project and no longer need it. My client chose this method for Book projects with a mega mass of unplaced photos.
Problem with solution:
- for incomplete Book projects in progress with a mass of unplaced photos, you'd have to start over after deleting the whole thing.
NEED FOR IMPROVED IPHOTO FEATURE(S)
(1) The existing "Clear Placed Photos" button within a Book project might be useful, but it'd be even better to also have a button to "Clear Unplaced Photos,” and this button should be available outside of the section that struggles to display thumbnails of large numbers of unplaced photos. Clicking "Clear Unplaced Photos" would do the trick.
(2) An additional iPhoto behavior might help: iPhoto should warn with an option to cancel when adding a mass of photos to the "unplaced photo" section if the number of photos exceeds ??? (400??).
(3) Add another choice to iPhoto’s special startup Administrative window (Repair, Rebuild, etc.): "Remove unplaced photos from existing projects. (Doesn't destroy any photos in Library)"
Whew!

Like I mentioned in the post, corruption was probably ruled out by running all the Admin features at iPhoto startup (e.g., Rebuild, etc.). I also stated in my post that I also ran a Disk Verify and Repaired Permissions in OSX (via Disk Utility). I also emptied system Library cache files as I stated in my post.
I was paid to figure out the solution and am not getting paid to troubleshoot for Apple. The more unplaced photos there are in a Book project, the longer it takes to build thumbnails. It's an old general problem in computing when building lists on the fly.
The delay happened for all Book projects with lots of unplaced photos (almost*** certainly more than Apple imagined a user would use), and the beach ball delay was proportional to the number unplaced photos, which super large numbers of photos.
I very much doubt photos are corrupt. But Apple will probably figure it out. It was EASILY reproducible. Try it with different number of unplaced photos known not be corrupt (they display fine elsewhere and iPhoto's and Disk Utlity's admin Verify, Repair etc features show no problems).
I'm done with this.
My client's iPhoto works well now and she knows how avoid placing exorbitant numbers of unplaced photos into her project. I'm not getting paid to answer all this, so good night.

How can i place unplaced photos in a new book

I have been making photo books, but find I'm left with unplaced photos I don't want to put in the same book.
How can I select the remaining photos and place them in another book?
I know I can add extra pages, but is there then a way to split the book?
In any case I think my books can only have 100 pages, in which case I can't add extra pages to the existing book.
Any help greatly appreciated!

You might try it this way:
Select your Book in the "Projects" section of the Library.
Ctrl-click the icon and select "Duplicate" from the Pop-up menu. This will create a second copy of your book. Open this new Book.
Click the "Photos " tab.
Then press "Clear Placed Photos". Now you'll have a new book with only your unplaced Photos.
Alternately you may set the selector on top to "Unplaced Photos" to be able to select them and create a new book from the unplaces photos.

IPhoto 11 won't let me buy book due to unplaced photos, but they are there!

I have created many photo books in both iPhoto and Aperture and this has not happened before. I click on the Buy Book button and it says I have unplaced photos and takes me to a page that clearly has all the photos placed. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You are missing one or more photos - usually on a page requireing a full page photo that is behind places photos - every page must have either a photo or a colored background - if you have any grey backgrounds thoses are problems - in several years I've never seen that error be incorrect

How to select all photos placed in a photo book?

Dear friends,
while I can easily show only unplaced photos in the browser of an Aperture photo book it is hard to select just the ones that are used in the book. This would be handy to tag all used photos after finishing on the book or to export just thos photos as a backup.
Any help?
Thank you!
007_checker

Interesting, it would seem there would be a way to show all images used just as there is a way to show all images not used but I can;t seem to find a single button solution.
What you can do is:
Make sure no images are flagged, that is the Flagged album is empty. (you could use something other then flagged for this such as label color but flagged is easiest to explain)
In the book before placing any images select all images and flag them.
Now make your book.
When you are done adding images to the book switch the browser to show images not in the book. Select all the images show and remove the flag.
What is left in the Flagged album are the images in the book.
This is a bit of a kludge and as I wrote it seems there should be a one button solution (there might be I don't use books much). You might want to send feedback to Apple suggesting this feature. See Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback.

IPhoto book - no photos in the panel.

Help! My photos don't appear in the photo pane to the right of the project, in this case a book. Even for existing projects with photos in them. Bottom right button produces a blank pane; doesn't matter what option at the top is chosen (all photos in the project, unplaced photos, etc.) This was working, up until this morning - now doesn't. Did I click on something I shouldn't have?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

Photo book shipped to wrong address...

Hi All: I recently ordered 2 photo books through iPhoto, cost about $120, but they were shipped to the wrong address. I live in NY and they were sent to CA. I called FedEX to complain, but it turns out that Apple put the wrong address on the package. Has anyone else had/heard-of this happening? I'm now waiting for my email from iPhoto support to hear how they will fix this problem, but was curious as to whether or not other occurrences were easily and quickly rectified. Thanks for any info.
-Dave

Dave:
Report that to Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/. They have been very good at correcting problems like that.

Page numbers in a photo book / keepsake

Can anyone tell me how i can get page numbers to display in a photo book? In the help section it says that i can go to settings and turn this function on, however, I don't have that option in there. I need it to make a slideshow preview for others involved to review pages and make suggestions to layouts. They need to be able to quote the page number that needs adjusting.

The page number setting it the bottom check box in the settings menu - if it is checked and you do not have page numbers displayed on your pages then they are not available with the theme/layout you have chosen
See Liz Castro's web page for samples of each theme and the layouts for each theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Travel - I'm not sure she specifically addresses page numbers

My iPad isn't syncing properly - It says it is syncing but then none of my new music, photos, books, or podcasts have been added!

This is getting really annoying as syncing my iPad 1 now take forever. It says it is syncing and goes through all the motions, and it does sync my apps,
but none of my musi, photos, books or podcasts, even though it's only half full so it has plenty of space. What I do at the moment is use "autofill" to add the music and podcasts and then I drag the new books from my iTunes library to my iPad in Itunes (I have a PC, by the way), but I still haven't found a slution for my photos - at present it's supposed to add all the photos in one of my folders on the computer, but it hasn't added the new ones in a long while.
I suspect this might have started when I added iOS 5, but I'm not 100% sure. Another thing I had lots of difficulty with earlier is that the music I synced was all greyed out and couldn't be played, but I solved that by choosing "manually manage music and videos" in Options. This might be why it's not syncing properly, but last time I tried reverting that it just greyed out my music again! What do I do?
Oh, one last thing - the music and books I'm adding at the moment aren't purchased from the Itunes stores, if that helps. Just the podcasts, and they seem to eventually add themselves after the sync.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

IPhoto 7.1.5 on 10.6.8 Trying to Buy a Photo book

Hi,
I have been reading other discussion threads and I can't find exactly my question. I have iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 on Mac OS X version 10.6.8. Everything was fine until I got the iPhone 5 and needed to update iTunes. I found I needed to update to at least Snow Leopard, so I did that and figured everything was fine now. That was until I made a photo book and tried to purchase it. Unfortunately, I got the following error message: We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books, cards, calendars and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 7. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.
So, I have read a few posts that say I need to buy iLife, but I would never use any of the apps except iPhoto, so I would like to save myself the money of buying things I won't need. I also did a search and it looks like I can download a bunch of updates here: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iphoto
My question is, can I go update by update on this site without ruining my current iphoto events and projects? I have about 15,00 items in 243 events and I would hate for them all to get ruined.
Thank you so much for any help! I am desperate and would love my photo book.

It isn't possible to get a version of iPhoto which is new enough just through the downloadable updaters. You need to either buy an iLife DVD or upgrade the computer to Mavericks and get the Mac App Store version.
