Pressing the "Buy Book" button does nothing

Question

I completed a photobook last night and when I pressed the "Buy Book" nothing happened. I checked to make sure I wasn't missing any updates, restarted and tried again. I have since tried to order a greeting card with the same result. Nothing happens when I press the button. I even reinstalled iLife 08 to make sure there wasn't something funny with the install. Still the same result. I have ordered through (Kodak) the buttons in iPhoto previously with no problem, but not since I upgraded to iPhoto 08. I also realized that I can not print in iPhoto anymore. When I press the print button or the print command through the menu nothing happens. It doesn't error out or ask me to select a printer....nothing. HELP!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. See of that helps.
If still not working correctly boot into Safe Mode and see if you can get iPhoto to work as intended. If it does not then a reinstall of iPhoto may be warranted along with the reapplication of the 10.4.10 COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
If it does work OK in Safe Mode then your account is the culprit. It could be a damaged preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to check that out:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .

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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
