Printing iPhoto '06 books in iPhoto '08

I've got a small problem here. Over the past couple of years, I've made a few very important books in iPhoto--wedding and honeymoon photo albums, to name a couple. I've had them printed and given copies to the family, with great results. But when I upgraded to iPhoto '08, it looks as if they have become unprintable. Viewing an 'old' album, I notice the following odd behaviors:
1) The usual strip of available photos or page layout thumbnails is not visible along the top of the window.
2) The format of the books, all previously hardcover, seems to have been changed to paperback.
3) Buttons along the bottom, like 'themes,' 'layout,' and 'advanced' do nothing.
4) Most distressing--when I click 'Buy Book' I get an error message that said 'Invalid Product: This type of product cannot be ordered.'
This seems like a big problem to me--old books that may have continued relevance or may be in progress are no longer usable. True, it would only take me about 30 minutes to recreate the old books in the new iPhoto, but does anybody have any tips or similar experiences?

Evan:
You might consider what I'm doing for a particular project that requires the Storybook theme. That's to use iPhoto 6 on a special library created just for that book. You can use both versions but just have to be very careful when launching either version. I will launch iPhoto with the option key depressed so it reminds me to be sure to open the correct library for that version of iPhoto.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

What version of iPhoto do I need to print a photo book?

I have an old MacBook I'm using with OSX 10.6.2 and iPhoto 7. I spent hours putting together a photobook only to be told it printing photo books is not supported in that version. However, iPhoto 9 is not compatible with my OSX. Any lesser version of iPhoto I can get so I can still print my photo book? Any other ideas for getting this printed?

Print products are only supported for iPhoto '09, version 8.1.x, or iPhoto '11, version 9.x.x.
If you cannot upgrade to any of these iPhoto version, consider to export your book as PDF and send this PDF to a third-party print service.
See this support document: Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars - Apple Support
iPhoto 8.1.2 will work with your system. You would need to buy an iLife '09 installer DVD from Amazon or eBay, to have a full version of iphoto '09 to update to 8.1.2.

Printing iphoto book

Trouble printing iphoto books. I've been creating a iphoto books and then printing them out on my canon mp530 printer so that I can put the pages in protective sleeves and then send update pages to family albums. My problem is when I print the pages from the iphoto book, some of the pictures have heads cut off etc. The picture on the photo book page is fine but when "I"print I'm not getting what I see. Is this apples way to control the iphoto book and force us to buy the album? or is there something I can do to make it work?

lesathome:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do a Print to PDF first, check the pdf version. If the image looks OK in the PDF it should print OK from the PDF.
On one of the photos that were chopped off, Control-click on the photo in the book and select "Fit Photo to Frame" option in the contextual menu. Then try again.
Do you Twango?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

Can I print the photo book with any fonts?

I would like to print a photo book using iphoto. Is it possible to print this by using any fonts?

Don't get up your hopes, Old Toad . I never tried to buy a photo book from the iPad.
The documentation does not say much:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037
It only mentions, that you can change the font size:
Edit text on a page
Tap Projects, and tap the photo book to open it.
Double-tap the page containing the text you want to work with.
Do the following:
Align the text: Tap the text box, and choose an alignment style from the menu that appears directly above the text box.
Choose the font size: Tap the text box, and tap the font size you want.
Make changes to the text: Double-tap the text box, and type.
No mention of the supported font. Probably the fonts will depend on the country of the Print Products Store you are using:
To change countries, tap at the top-left corner of the screen, and select another country from the list.

Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

How can I print an address book from Contacts.

I have my contacts all listed in Contacts, but I want to print them as an Phone Book, is there a way to do this without having to retype everyone.
I have been trying to do this with the help from one to one at the apple store but it seems we keep running into snags which i can not get around, now I am at a stand still again now trying to do for the last 3 months. Help Please

Hi Cherin,
Printing a phone book (or an 'Address Book" as ontacts Help refers to it) is done directly from Contacts, and does not involve Pages. Details are available in Contacts' Help files. Try searching 'print phone book' (without the quotes).
Your question will be better served in the Mail & Contactssection of the Mac OS & System Software community.When reposting there, be sure to describe the snags you've run into so that people responding can oncentrate on those without having to repeat what you already know.

How can I print my A4 Book now in 8"x10.5"? RESIZE?

Hello
I have a book about 700 Pages already been printed a couple of times in A4 size,
Now the sponsor can only print it in max 8"x10.5"
This means the entire Book/file needs to be adjusted to this new size in order to get it printed.
I need to know what is the best option to do this.
Can this be automadet in Indesign or trough the export via printing?
I am very thankful for any help and advice.

I appologize this Forum is confusing to me.
I posted a new question in a new thread.
I am working on a book in Indesign.I have 740 pages in total. I have black and white and color pages meaning Images.I converted the black and white images in Photoshop to Grayscale files, before I imported the imges into in design. As
to reduce printing costs my printer asked me to make sure these single
pages are safed as either color or black and white pages,so the printer will recognice those pages and will print those according to their color/ black and white profile of the images.I thought this will happen automatically since my photos, digital images are either in color or grayscale.Apperently this did not happen.My printer just told me all pages are having color profiles.So I wonder is there a way in Indesign to give single seperate pages of my bookdifferent
color or b/w profiles? so the printer who will recieve a PDF from me
does prints bacl and white in a black and white modus.

Rather than ask you for more details here, I'm going to suggest that this is so far from related to the original question that you should start a new thread. tellus exactly what you mean by "single color pages," whether you mean convert for final output and wish to leave the color intact in the document during editing or for multipurposing, the version of ID, etc.

RE-printing a PDF book With Acrobat 9

I have this strange problem. When I print a pdf book as a pdf again (reason I am doing this if because it will give me a page size that will go with the entire book, and as a result, it will be easier to crop the book.), the file size becomes WAY bigger than the original size of the PDF.
This is the basic process when I do the the printing to pdf:
Select ALL the pages in the book.
Go To Print.
Under the Name List, select Adobe PDF.
Click Properties.
On the Layout tab, Click Advanced. Under Paper Size, Select Postscript Custom Paper Size.
Select the Unit (e.g. Millimeter).
Once done, go to the ADOBE PDF Setting tab, and then select Default Setting to Standard.
click all the OKs, until you are ready to print.
I have tried to to look for the answer on other forums, and googling, but no proper explanation or advice.
Thanks

Tried that. That doesnt solve the problem. File is still as big as
hell. Acrobat 8 works like a charm for this process. I even made
screenshot for the 'small size' preset and compared it to Acrobat 9.
Seems the same, so not sure why does it make files bigger. Dont get
started with file optimization because this book im dealing with here
has bad images to any downsizing is going to mess it up. Booya:-@

Poor quality printing with quick books remote

I just started using the HP 8610 and now the print quality is poor when remote printing from quick books. It was perfectly fine wiht my OLD OLD HP 1200. checked with remote printing company and they have not helped. Any clues?

I have the same problem when using Logmein with my new 8610. Printing text heavy statements from remote computers that look fine on the screen, come out with fuzzy pics and pixelated words. This was also never a problem with our old 7510.

Printing/Uploading a book mechanisms

I have not yet ordered my first book (I've always gone through a local agency via PDFs). However, I am thinking about trying the Apple service but am unsure about how practical it will be for me.
I have a lot of large image files in a book I am preparing. If the image files are uploaded then it will be a horrible upload (taking ages). I really don't want to export each print specifically for printing in the book at lower resolution as that would take quite some time. I want to keep the images I have imported (and worked on) at high resolution as I will be wanting some large prints of some as well.
So, the question, when you "upload" your book, does it do a print at e.g. 300 dpi and then upload this rather than uploading each image file and layout info, etc.
Probably not explained well but would appreciate any comment is anybody can understand my explanation.
Ian

Ian
It is wonderfully easy and you will love the results. It all happens behind the scenes (and you do have an opportunity to snag the PDF that ultimately gets sent.) Aperture does it all behind the scenes. The resolution is great. I've done over a hundred.
Good luck.

Fonts don't print with Font Book

Hi,
Fonts I load in Font Book are looking fine on screen but they don't print - I have to put them directly in the Fonts folder (in the System folder) to do so. My printer is a Lexmark E120n is that matters.
What should I do to get them to print using Font Book?
Thanks for your help!

It turns out the problem was with that certain printer. The floor model and other models and makes works fine. the Brother support person was an idiot, and would not think outside the box. Luckily the guys at Apple and Office Depot did.

When i upgraded my ipad and reinstalled ibooks, the print on my books is so tiny i can barely read the books. Any idea how to get back my larger print?

Media is not included in a backup. You should be able to resync them your copy of them on your computer's iTunes. If you haven't got your a copy of them then if they are still in the store, then you can re-download apps via the Purchased tab in the App Store, ibooks via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, and (depending upon what country that you are in) potentially music, films and tv shows via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
