Problem with photo book created in Aperture 3

Hi everyone,
I am in a bit of a bind and would greatly appreciate any help ASAP!
I ordered a hard-cover photo book that was created in Aperture 3. When previewing the order, we noticed that the photo for the cover of the book was missing (though it appeared on the dust jacket). Tried various things to fix this but then read something in the forums that the photo would not be printed on hard-cover books, only on the dust jacket. So we went ahead and placed our order...
Today (3 business days after the order was made) we received an email from Apple:
"Dear Apple customer,
When your order W313537357 was submitted to Apple, an error caused an image file for your print product to contain an empty frame on the cover. As a result, Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged.
If you would like to resubmit your order, we recommend these steps:
1. Use Software Update to install the latest version of Aperture or iPhoto and Mac OS X. For more details on using Software Update, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1338
2. Close all open applications
3. Open iPhoto or Aperture and preview your order. For instructions on how to preview your order, refer to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
4. If you are satisfied with the Preview, return to iPhoto and click “Buy.” For Aperture users, return and click “Continue”
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience."
We have tried all of this, and the preview remains the same (no photo on the cover). Also, when clicking the "Buy Book" button we get an error message that says "Empty text field detected in book. The book you are about to order contains an empty text field. How do you wish to proceed?" This gives the option to either cancel or continue, and since I have not been able to find it I always just hit continue.
I have tried contacting apple support but I guess their technical support for Aperture is only available during regular business hours.
Help?! We need this book printed and sent to us by the end of next week. We would pay extra for rush/expedited shipping, but this option doesn't seem to be available (at least in Canada).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The unified library does not work for books and other products. Aperture and iPhoto cannot open each others books, because the editing options are different.

Books, calendars, and cards created in iPhoto are visible in the Source list in Aperture, but you cannot edit them. Books, web pages, and web journals created in Aperture are not visible in iPhoto.

Can I open a photo book created in Aperture 3 in iPhoto?

HI
I have created a photo book using Aperture 3 of a recent overseas tour. I want to send it to all the tour group so that they can print or buy their own copy.
Not everyone has Aperture but all will have iPhoto...
I have saved the book as a separate Library but when I open this library in iPhoto I cannot find the book - all the photos etc are there but not the book.
Solution???

Problem with photo book

I'm trying to buy a photo book I just created and though I've done this a few times before without a problem, now it's giving me a hard time. When I click "Buy Book," I receive a message that says: A connection could not be established at this time.
This is clearly a lie, as I am typing this message...Is this an Apple glitch that's being worked on? Any ideas?

Could you please be more specific? Where would I find the location? And what would I change it to? When I select preferences...which tab is it under?
Also, I have created calendars etc. in the past and never had a problem...
Thanks for your help!

Can a photo book created in i photo be saved in pdf format or shared online with a customer before printing?

Can a photo book created in i photo be saved as a pdf or shared online in any way with a customer before printing?

Sure - once you make a PDF you can e-mail or share it as you want - although they can be large so you need a share capability for large file

Self explanatory.
You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

3 Problems with Address Book-- now considering Bento

I have 3 problems with Apple Address Book that make it close to unusable for me, so I'm considering buying Bento 3:
1. *Can't un-do accidentally deleted text*- When you click in the "Notes" section, it will select all the text there by default (instead of merely inserting the cursor). If you are not paying attention, and hit any other key when it is selected, it deletes everything in there. UN-DO will not un-do this. I've verified and reported this issue to Apple, but it has still never been fixed or formally addressed (aside from many complaints in the Apple forums).
2. *Search doesn't always work*- Yesterday I searched for one of my entries, Harbor Freight, by typing in the search "harbor". Nothing came up. I thought that maybe I never actually added this business and started with a new one. After I created the new one, I noticed that now, along with the new entry, the old contact suddenly showed up in the left column.
3. *Cards disappear*- Many complaints on the web about this. I do not do any syncing with MobileMe or any device. Occasionally, cards just seem to vanish. Sometimes the card is actually still there, but changes in the Notes field or other fields I made on a previous day were evidently not saved and gone. Very frustrating.
Here's my concern with using Filemaker Pro's Bento: if it's using and accessing the same database as Address Book, all these problems might end up also existing in Bento. I use Address Book for business and personal and heavily rely on the Notes section. I can't keep wasting my time with this.
I don't mind paying the $50 for Bento if it resolves these issues, but the shared database worries me. I guess that I could create an independent Bento database that is completely separate from Address Book, but then I don't know how well it would integrate with Apple Mail.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

DON'T DO IT. DO NOT INSTALL BENTO. I bought & installed it on 01/20/10 and it destroyed my address book. Gone forever. If you are having problems with Address Book now, wait until you see the damage created by Bento! Bento does not replace Address Book. It is a 'supplement' (at best) and uses and updates every file in your Address Book without you even knowing it! Well, you notice it when your database is destroyed and you find all of your contacts under 'No Name'. I am so serious. Bento is just a shell. None of your addresses are actually stored in Bento. They remain in Address Book. Every time you open Bento, it accesses your address book database, and starts re-formatting and re-working every entry along with any 'changes' you make. And who do you call for help? Apple says 'not our program'. Filemaker says 'we don't know anything about Mac's'.....I lost four years of addresses for all of my customers. Gone. In seconds! Just don't do it. Don't install Bento. And be sure to remove any 'smart groups' you have created as it seems to be at the root of most problems one encounters with address book.

Moving a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop

Any idea how to move a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop in order to do some editing before submitting to apple for purchase? Iphoto on laptop is version 4.0 or 5.0. Desktop version has 8.0.
Any suggestions appreciated.

There's only one way to do it.
iPhoto stores your books etc within the main database file. There is no way to transfer this to another library. You'll need to copy the entire library to bring it to a machine with an internet connection.
Here's a tip: duplicate the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and open the Copy library. From these, delete any pics not in a book etc - put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it (iPhoto menu -> Empty Trash). That way you'll only bring the minimum you need with you to the machine with the internet connection.
However, beware - there's no guarantee the the book template you're using in v4 (or v5) is the same - or even available - in v7 (iLife 08)

Problems with Photos and Fonts and Explorer

I am having problems with photos and fonts when my site is viewed on Explorer. The site is Ostyn-Newman.com The problems can both be seen on the start page -though they happen throughout the site. The photo is supposed to be only 30% opaque and it shows fine on Firefox or Safari, but Explorer viewers get the photo being used as wallpaper at 100% and this steps all over the text. Should I give up a using a photo as wallapaper?
Also the font I am using for "Ostyn-Newman Objects for Fine Homes" shows well in Firefox and Safari, but looks really bad on Explorer products. Should I just change the font? I am currently using Snell Roundhand.

The message in each is pretty much the same but he does give some info of an application that can optimize the web pages to make them more readily readable by IE.

Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 Problem with Photo JPG Codec ?

Hi everyone...
I have been working with music videos for several years using FCP 5.x and photo-jpeg codec, everything works fine. As time going by now I have updated my FCP using 6.0.3 with hopes to get better features. But unfortunately FCP 6 has problem with photo-jpeg codec. The problem is when I load a photo-jpeg video, the gamma will changes every time the playback head is start or stop. And I can't using video transition (standard cross-dissolve) anymore because the video gamma also change at the in transition and out transition. It also appear in my video monitor and output file ! I have searching all day to find out what is exactly the problem, but never get the solution. Should i come back to FCP 5.x ? Is it a BUGS or what ? What happen with Apple, why they let this happened ?
For information the video is in SD PAL & captured using Blackmagic Decklink card.
Please help,...Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions...
I believe this has to do with using YUV or RGB as the rendering method. RT is always RGB, but try changing the setting for your timeline to whatever it is not now...

Can I export the pages of a book created in Aperture

I would lioke to export the pages of a book created in Aperture so I can import them to get the book published. Is it possible to export hte pages as jpg images? When I save it as a pdf, the whole book is one file.

What is your Aperture version? In my version (Aperture 3.4.3) I can do the following:
Print the book to pdf, by selecting the book in the Inspector panel and using
File > Print Book
In the "Print" panel I press the "pdf" button and select "Save PDF as folder to jpeg".
This will create a folder of jpegs, one for each page.

Problem with Address Book and Exchange

Hello,
I have a little problem with Address Book and Microsoft Exchange 2003. I am able to connect to Outlook Web Access via Safari without problem. I see my contacts. Unfortunately when I setup everything needed in Address Book preferences (Synchronize with Exchange) the contacts didn't show in my Address Book. Strange thing is that no error is generated. can someone please help me what I am doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is that you consider using Microsoft Entourage. For Exchange users on a Mac, Entourage is by far the best option. The down side is, you need to buy Microsoft Office 2004 to get Entourage, but your employer might own a site license, in which case, Office 2004 might not cost you anything.
