    Hi I currently use lightroom 4 and have never had an issue uploading photo books to blurb.but now when i try a message appears saying "could not contact blurb web service.please check internet connection" my internet connection is fine.please can somebody help me as i need to get the album done as it is a wedding album and the clients are waiting on it.many thanks,Sean.

    Hi,
    I got this problem sorted and it actually very easy. For some reason the settings on the windows page i use on my laptop conflicted with the blurb/lightroom upload. All you need to do is set up a new windows user page and set it up as admin. You will need to transfer all the photos from the lightroom on your current user page to the new one which can be annoying but at least you will hopefully get up and running again. I hope this helps,

  • Uploading book to Blurb using Lightroom 5, rendereing is OK but gets stuck at uploading, will not complete.

    Hi
    I'm using Lightroom 5 loaded onto a Windows PC, 64 bit. I've cleared up disc space so that is not a problem.
    Building the book is OK. But when I select the Send Book to Blurb button, it gets to about 60-70% complete but then stops.
    The book is 154 pages and comprises mainly tiff files (originally exported from Nikon NX2), so file size is fairly large.
    What are my options?

    I had the same problen with Lightroom 5 - Prepares the files but won't Upload to Blurb. Tried numerours times. It is a Landscape size Book 132 Pages. There is a BUG in Lightroom and here is how I got it to work:
    Check each slide and make sure APPLY BACKGROUND GLOBALLY, GRAPHIC or BACKGROUND COLOR and not checked,. If so Uncheck them.
    Go to EDIT and SELECT ALL Slides in the Book.
    Select Apply Background Globally - turn it off and on several times, then leave it off
    Select GRAPHIC - turn it off and then turn it on and off several times
    Select BACKGROUND COLOR - turn it on then off then on then off
    I ended up with APPLY GLOBALLY unchecked for Every Page.
    GRAPHIC was turned on with a Graphic set at 12% Opacity on every Page
    Again check each page first for these Checkmarks or just fix exverything with SELECT ALL.
    Background Color was Turned off. 
    NOW UPLOAD THE BOOK - It took a couple hours but it uploaded without a hitch., I turned off all Firewalls and Plugged directly into the Router. I am using an IMac 27" with 32 GB of memory and this is the only way it would work. The Mac is about 7 days old and Lightroom 5 is also 7 days old. BUGGIEST piece of software I have ever used.
    Note - one of the above steps fixes the BUG - I am not sure which one but one will fix your book. It finally uploaded to BLURB today. It took a few hours though.

  • Issues when uploading book to Blurb from Lightroom 5

    have Lightroom 5 and a Mac computer
    About a month ago , I uploaded my book to Blurb from Lightroom - no issues.
    Today after taking out a few photos , also removing 2 page spreads , justifying the printed pages to the right instead of the middle of the page -
    The book would not upload - just hung. Contacted my ISP - internet connections have not slowed or changed.
    As an experiment I tried to upload a previous book from last year that successfully uploaded - this time it also hung.   - not error message - When I tried to exit Lightroom I receive a message that it is uploading to Blurb - but nothing happens .  No matter how many times I try.
    Also unable to create a PDF as well - also hangs  - no error message.
    This is the message I received from Blurb: when I contactd support
    Check to see if you are able to create a PDF of the book. If yes,
    If you're on a wireless connection please connect directly to your router/internet connection using a cable instead. This can often be enough to allow the upload to complete.
    Ensure your firewall and/or any security programs are temporarily disabled (Some software with known issues include Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security and Kaspersky).
    Turn off services such as Carbonite or Little Snitch.
    If your upload fails again, please let me know at what stage it does so.
    Best regards,
    Kristin

    My response:
    1.  Unable to create a PDF.
    2.  I do not have a wireless connection / I have an internet connection with a cable
    3.  Do not have firewall / Zone, Alarm Norton Internet security or Kaspersky
    4. Do not have Carbonite or Little Snitch.
    5 The uploading path has a blank with a x at the end

    Hi Sue,
    Thanks for your reply.
    It sounds like your best bet is to contact Lightroom support directly from the link below. They should have more detailed information to help you with this problem. (Blurb only handles the actual printing of your file or the conversion into a Blurb ebook).
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=lightroom&topic=using-my-product-or-service
    (Click on the "Need more help" button at the bottom of the screen)
    I'd be interested in hearing what you find out.
    Best regards,

    Please advise
    thank you

  • Error occurred while uploading book to blurb

    Hi,
    I have sent dosens of books to blurb via lightroom without any issue, but I am getting the following error message
    "an error occured adding text and fonts to book"
    Anyone had this issue, and have any remedy to it? I have tried changing the layouts and fonts without success. I have the same issue when generating a pdf. I have just sent some other albums to blurb with no issue its only with this particular project, it also wont generate pdfs but will generate it as jpegs.
    Any help would be amazing as I dont want to have to redo this album!!!
    Cheers,
    Paul

    Just changed the font AGAIN, this time to Arial, and its now working... bizarre. So if anyone else has this issue, just keep hitting send lol!!!

  • Error when uploading book to Blurb from LR 4.1 and after 4.3 update

    I have been trying for over 24 hours to upload a 75 page book successfully from LR 4.1, and also after updating to LR 4.3!  I was initially able to upload to pdf format in LR 4.1, then it stopped working.  Book upload to Blurb took a very long time to upload the 75 pages plus cover and got stuck in the process of uploading pages, finally returning an error message: "There was an error in uploading your book, would you like to try again?"
    After several attempts to upload the book, updating to LR 4.3., then the process stopped working in upload to pdf.  I checked the box on background "Apply Background Globally" to get to the "Graphic" checkbox that was checked.  I unchecked it and then removed the "Apply Background Globally" checkbox.  After doing that, I was able to upload to pdf, but still received the error message when uploading to Blurb, even after several of retry attempts. 
    As a workaround, I was going to try to upload the pdf file directly to Blurb but received a statement saying the pdf was not the right size.  Please help with this issue.  I purchased LR4 to be able to use the book feature and I am very disappointed in both Adobe and Blurb for the lack of support found in all of the FAQ's, How To's, etc.  I have seen so many posts similar to mine.  Surely there should be some fix for these common issues by now.
    I would appreciate any help you can provide.

    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!

  • Problems uploading book iphoto

    I have tried several times to order a book created in iPhoto. A 32 pages book. iPhoto hangs during upload, usually after 10-25% done. Does not react after several hours and can not be interupted except by killing the whole app.

    Have you checked the PDF preview, if there are any problems? Photos that do not seem to render correctly?  See:  iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    If iPhoto can create a correct PDF preview, restart your Mac in Safe mode and order the book this way. That may help to prevent timeouts and hangs:

  • Problems Uploading Book from Aperture

    I am trying to upload a book from Aperture. It takes quite a while and then it just gives me an error message - A Connection Could Not Be Established At This Time.
    My Internet connection is fine so I wondered if this was a problem with Apple's servers - is anyone else seeing the same?
    Thx

  • Problems uploading book for printing

    Hi,
    I am working on a slow connection speed overseas and have been getting continuously disconnected uploading my book to apple for printing in Canada. Does anyone know if it's possible to convert to .pdf and then upload? Or is there any other way to go about it? Thanks.

    Thanks. Looks like I'm going to have to poach a fast connection speed from somewhere. I contacted apple through the link provided above and they have said the only way to do it is to upload it through iPhoto. Not particularly helpful.
    I'm in South Africa and the Apple store here uses a third party for printing (at outrageous cost!). I'm wanting mine printed in Canada for a gift, which would have been easy without this connection problem. I'm surprised I can't at least mail a disc to someone somehwhere or email a .pdf file... I'm going to ask just to be sure. They respond quickly to these queries, which is great.
    Thank you all for your help.

  • Problems uploading text into infoobject

    Hi everybody.
    I tried to upload information about TEXTS to an infoobject. Is the exercise of BW310 training course (7.0 version).
    I've created an infopackage that retrieves the data from R3 backend. My problem is that i always get a yellow 'traffic light' in monitor. I know data is in the texts table because i check PSA and is there.
    This is what i get in STATUS strip :
    Diagnosis
    No errors found. The current process has probably not finished yet.
    System Response
    The ALE inbox of BI is identical to the ALE outbox of the source system
    or
    the maximum wait time for this request has not yet been exceeded
    or
    the background job has not yet finished in the source system.
    Current status
    No Idocs arrived from the source system.
    Kinds regards,
    Inigo.

    Hi Inigo,
    Since U r loading data for Texts for an infoobject, try and check the Transformations for that specific infoobject. Check whether they are maintained properly or not. If Yes, then go to the Monitor screen, and click on the Job Overview button on the Top right. There select TRFC Overview in source system, once you get into TRFC Overview Screen, check whether there are some TRFC struck ( i.e., TRFC's with status Transaction Recorded ), if there are some of them, then select them 1 at a time and press F6 ( this will move the struck TRFC from Source System to BI).
         If no TRFC struck was there, then wait for some more time, your load should get completed by itself.
    Hope this should help.
    Regards,
    Syed

  • Problem uploading content into repository over WebDAV

    Hi,
    Sorry if the questions is responsed yet, but I haven't found it.
    I am a new user in Oracle and Oracle XML DB. I have installed Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1. The dabase was created through the wizard and I have enabled 2100 and 8080 ports to work with FTP, HTTP and WebDAV. I have also created a new USER called DAVID with DBA permissions.
    With this user I can upload 'not xml-content based' resource over FTP with different sizes but when I try to upload it over WebDAV I receive a message windows error and the resource is partially uploaded always with less than 500 bytes.
    For example, I have upload a chm file with 19Mb. over FTP but I can't do the same over WebDAV.
    What is the problem???? What I can do???
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    OK!, I can't created a bigfile tablespace, I specified only 1024Mb. but oracle tries to create a tablespace with 192Gb.
    Finally, I have created a normal tablespace (initial size 500Mb), I have opened 2100 and 8080 ports to operate with FTP, WebDAV and HTTP.
    Transfer over FTP works well but WebDAV continues with problem.
    I have read the Bug 3703236 posted by mdrake, but I don't found any comment that helps me to solve the error.
    As it say if I rename any file to xml, I can uploading to the repository over WebDAV without problem, but this file can't be renamed. For instance, in repository file system, rename msmsgs.xml to msmsgs.exe returns an error.
    Also I have opened a TAR.
    Any Idea?.
    Thanks in advance,
    David.

  • Problems uploading book to iPhoto

    last year I put together a photo book of our vacation and had some issues with iphoto uploading the book but finally got it worked out and was able to order the book.  I haven't ordered anything since. This year I have been trying for 5 days to get the book to upload without success. the book will read that it is assembled but will get stuck on the upload at about 30%. I have read the forums from a couple of years ago and have tried what they said to get it to work with out any luck  Has anyone else had the same issue but able to resolve it? 

    how can I tell which version of iphoto I have?
    With iPhoto running go to the iPhoto menu and select About iPhoto.
    Are you able to create a PDF file of the book according to this Apple document:  iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

  • Problems with special characters uploading data into oracle database

    Greetings

    I have my source and target datastores configured as follows.
    Any suggestion? Thank you for your time

    Chack section 10 Locales and Multi-byte Functionality in the SAP Data Services Reference Guide for an exhaustive description of NLS settings.
    As a summary, following settings are required:
    locales in the datastore definitions match the actual locale used in the associated databases
    the locale of the DS engine allows for source to target translation
    the character set in the target database supports storage of accented characters
