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.

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.

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

Try Old Toad's solution here: See Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

How to upload a book in iPhoto 9 to Mobile me

Does anyone know if there is a way to upload a book, presently in iPhoto 9, to my Mobile Me site ?
What I'm trying to do - to share my book of vacation photos in the book with some friends.
I know that I can upload a slideshow to my Mobile me site - but would prefer to share the book .
Any ideas appreciated ??
TIA
Graham

Yes, there is a way to do what you want:
1 - while in the book mode start a print routine and use the PDF->Send PDF to iPhoto menu option.
This will create a jpg of each page and import them into a new album in iPhoto.
2 - Immediately batch rename the pages via the Photos->Batch Rename->Title to Text and enter "Page" in the text field and check the number box. This will rename the pages to Page - 1, Page - 2, etc.
3 - put the book into an album and create a MobileMe gallery and publish. This will put your book online in a MobileMe gallery.
Or you can create an iWeb site with an iWeb slideshow of the book pages as shown in this demo page: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.

HT3412 why will my iphoto book not upload? I have previously uploaded to books without any problems.

I am unable to upload my iphoto book for printing. I have previously uploaded two books without problems. It gets through the assembly step and the blue bar fills up the Upload bar except for a "hair" at the end, then I get the message that upload has failed. Cancel order or try again.

Preview yout book using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040

Alternative Printing Options for Books?

Can you all point me to any and all web sites that offer printing of iPhoto books either through a plug-in of some sort or from PDF files? I know of 4: MyPublisher, Shutterfly, Lulu, and Sharedink.
Any others? Thanx very much.

Yes thats exactly what I am trying to narrow down - the sites that cater specifically in some way to iPhoto users for printing books either with a plug-in like MyPublisher, or sending a straight PDF saved from iPhoto. Although I suppose most of these printers probably take printable PDF files since even Apples and MyPublisher are being uploaded a PDF file out of iPhoto anyway. The plug-in and "Buy Book" button just automates the upload and purchase process.

I am having trouble uploading an Aperture photographic book to Apple. The first time I tried "Buy Book" the order proceeded normally but when it came to uploading the book to Apple it "uploaded" for six hours without going through so I aborted the attempt

I am having trouble uploading anAperture photographic book to Apple. The first time I tried “Buy Book” theorder proceeded normally but when it came to uploading the book to Apple it"uploaded" for six hours without going through so I aborted theattempt and cancelled the order.
The second time I tried the samething happened so after nine hours I found that the "Quit Aperture"button had greyed out so I had to Force Quit. I do not know if the order wascancelled but I do not think that the upload was successful.
What can I do about this problem?

I also am not able to print a book. I have Aperture on two Mac, MacBook Pro (current) and a MacPro - both printed books prior to update 3.1.3 now all I get is the spinning ball then I have to Force Quit. I tried books I have ordered in the past (trying to print a new book) and they also failed. This is not a picture problem but a problem with 3.1.3 update. I would like to print some more books and give Apple some money but can't.
Any suggestions?

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.

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.

How do I upload audio books and music at the same time

I like listening to Audio Books as well as music but everytime I upload any music it deletes the audio books and when I upload audio books it deletes the music. How do I keep both on my iPhone without the other being deleted.
Cheers

Thats what I was doing wrong. Both music and books were ticked but I wasn't clicking on the books tab and ticking what I wanted to upload there.
All I need to do now is work out why iTunes stops working when I start typing to submit details gracenote.
Thanks

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.
Regards,
Barry

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:-@

Upload to Blurb fails after exactly 30 minutes (There was an error uploading your book's pages...)

After exactly 30 minutes after the upload has started, I get this error:
There was an error uploading your book's pages. Would you like to try again? The choices given are "Retry Upload" and :"Cancel"
When I retry, the same thing happens - fails after exacly 30 minutes. I am using a window 7 pc (with Service Pack 1) and using Lightroom 5.4. I have turned off my firewall and antivirus programs, rebooted, and connected directly to my router (not wireless) and ensuring my pc does not go to sleep, but did nothing I try wil help.
Anyone else get this? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello,
I had this problem as well - the upload to Blurb would not work. Creation of a PDF and export as JPEG in the book module worked.
For me, the solution was to turn off the Windows Firewall while uploading. Now it works!

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.
