Problems printing an iPhoto 6 book on my printer

I have created a large hard back book in iPhoto 6. I'm attempting to print a copy of the book on an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer, however, EVERY page is printed with the extra binding margin on the right hand side of the page. I have tried everything I can think of including reinstalling iPhoto, trashing preferences, reinstalling the latest printer drivers, etc., but nothing works. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING considering this never happened with iPhoto 5 & 10.3.9. Any ideas on how to get the margins to print every other page left and right would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Regarding creating a new post, check at the top of forum page you're in for a text like titled "Post New Topic". It's on the far left.
Is Maestro a debit/atm card for MasterCard? What type of response are you getting when you try to use it? It may be just that you're having trouble getting the order connected rather than the card being denied. Also make sure your 1-click info is up to date, including the expiration date of the card. That caught me recently.
Feedback for order issues can be made here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/orderbooks/.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto 09 Book and Crashing Problems

I've been running into significant problems while constructing a 100pg book within iPhoto 09 that came pre-installed on my macbook pro. To start, the issue seems to be only affiliated with the iphoto book function (calendars seem to work just fine).
Here's what I'm experiencing:
I was in the process of creating a 100pg book. I had approximately 80 pages constructed. During my last session, I constructed the remaining 20 pages, and then began the process to submit the file for printing. It had significant issues suggesting that there were problems throughout my book. When submitting for printing, it indicated I had a problem and needed to resolve it before submission. At this point, looking through the book in iphoto appears to work absolutely fine with no exclamation points of any type.
As a troubleshooting step, I attempted to preview the file to a PDF. It had multiple errors and took a significant time to output because 20-or-so times, I had to click on a message indicating there was an error on a specific page.
So, continuing on, the file output with various problems. I then attempted to adjust the pages that had the problems (replacing photos, etc). During this process iphoto crashed. Upon reopening iphoto, I was unable to access the book at all - iphoto would simply crash.
In desperation, I restored the initial 80-page version. Now I've got that, and I certainly could go through the process of recreating the next 20 pages, but I wanted to verify that I wouldn't run into problems. In testing that, the crashing behavior is still present.
Next, I renamed the iphoto library and allowed iphoto to create a new and blank library. I readded the 5200 photos that I am sifting through for the book. Attempted to create a new book, added the 5200 photos, and then, without even putting an image on a page, tried to remove a photo from the book listings. At this point, it crashes. This is a new library, new file, new import, and same crash.
I've spent hours and hours and hours, and I'm no technological luddite. I am needing some solutions. Can anyone out there help me out?
If need be, I could provide a detailed error log that the crash produces, but as it's pages and pages of info, I thought I'd wait until someone asks me for it.
Thanks for your insights.

1 - Apple does not have a problem - you do - this is a problem with your set up not with iPhoto
2 - this is a user to user forum so addressing Apple here has no value
3 - how are you previewing that fails - using the directions here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 ? How does the preview fail? BTW the fact that you can not create a preview is directly connected to your inability up upload and is connected to the problem with your system

All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos.
As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems.
To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.

The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy?

The photos printed in my iphoto '11 book have come out fuzzy. they were fine the first time i had them printed, why have they come out fuzzy second time?
I printed a book for a relative a couple of years ago to celebrate his 21st. then this year his younger brother also turned 21, I printed a new photo memory book and used some of the photos in his older brothers book in this new one. Those photos that were used in both books came out fuzzy in the second one when they were fine in the first one. Why could this be and can it be rectified?

Those photos that were used in both books came out fuzzy in the second one when they were fine in the first one. Why could this be and can it be rectified?
Did you use different versions of the photos or different sizes? Have you now used a different iPhoto version? The book templates changed between the versions.
Compare the printed book to the PDF preview of your book. The printed book should look exactly as the preview, see: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
If you want to return the book for a refund, use the "Report a problem" link on your email receipt.

Problems printing multiple copies on 1 page in iPhoto version 9.5.1

I'm having problems printing multiple copies of a photo in my version of iPhoto 9.5.1. I've tried looking at the answers given in Macworld forums for iPhoto '09 but I can't follow them as they refer to clicking 'preferences' - but this button isn't displayed on the 'print' page. Is my version iPhoto '09 or '11?

iPhoto 9.5.1 is the most recent version of iPhoto '11, as part of the iLife '11 suit of applications. The printing dialog changed between iPhoto '09 and iPhoto '11.
The easiest way to print multiple copies of the same photo on one page is to simply duplicate your photo (from the "Photos" menu: "Photos > Duplicate" and then to select all copies at once and use "File > Print":
Then select a template and press the "Print" button.

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
How do I proceed? How do I identify which is "default text?"

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box. If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.

Problems printing from iPhoto 6: Page setup & Preview

I am having trouble printing from iPhoto v6. For starters, the miniture preview frame in the print screen does not conform to the paper size selection or image orientation. (It is always a big square.) Only part of a 4x6 image image is seen in the frame. This makes predicting the final result impossible. To make matters harder, the print dialog does not remember what paper size was last used and many internal "Advanced" options reset the paper size to "letter". Simple choosing any printer preset resets the paper size. Switching from advanced options to the iPhoto options seems to alter other selected options as wlll.
I have the most current driver for my printer. I have no problem printing from Aperture or Photoshop. I have custom color profiles and am not entirely a novice, but I am wasting much paper and ink and spraying the inside of my printer!
The use of the native iPhoto print routines seems mutually exclusive with using Advanced options. I understood that the first iterations of iPhoto wanted us to depend on the Mac Print routines, and it was always a little touchy but I would have hoped earlier problems would have been sorted out by now. I want to print my own pictures!
Much confusion and no place to find good instructions. For example, should I be using "Full Page" or "Standard Prints" Standard settings in the print interface? There appear to be several places to select print sizes but they do not seem linked together nor is it obvious which one is determinitive. Under color options do I select Color Corrections <none> or <Colorsync> which then forces me to use driver recommended by Canon despite the fact I have a custom profile identified in Color sync utility. It just isn't working for me.
Are others notiing that iPhoto print routines are no longer working for them? I would like to see the internal print routines working intuitively before additional efforts are made to facilitate purchase from outside printing sources!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just ran a test and I got a perfect card. Here's what I did.
1 - create the card and type Command-P.
2 - select Stylus Photo R200 under Printer
3 - click on the Advanced button
4 - in the bottom drop down menu select Paper Handling
5 - select the radio button "Use documents paper size: 7.00 in x 10.00 in
6 - now select Print Settings in the 3rd drop down menu
7 - select the type of paper you're using and the print quality you want. I used Photo and High Speed. (also used plain paper for my test)
9 - put a piece of 7 x 10 paper in the printer (yes, you'll have to trip the paper beforehand or use card stock designed for this)
10 - click on Print
11 - when the paper exits the printer quickly put it back in the printer
That will do it. Now there is a caveat. Putting it back into the printer before drying tended to get my leading edge nipped. If you use heaver card stock I don't think that will happen but just be aware. If you wait a moment to put the page, turned over, back into the printer to let the ink dry a bit, all you'll have to do is press the middle button which will be blinking red and that will feed the other side thru when you're ready.

Iphoto 4 problems printing pictures with a hp printer

Hi .
I have a HP Business inkjet 1100d and am having a problem printing . When it starts to print it will take a long time to do . I can print from safari and microsoft work fine . But if I try to print a picture from iphoto it will only print a small part of the picture .I was wondering if the fact that I am printing from a network card to my printer would make a difference , because I am able to print under usb but not from the network card . If print from use all is fine, but if I print from the network card it wont work at all .
If anyone can help me fix this it would me a good help for me . I as wondering if network printing is supported in iphoto4 . I think maybe thats the problem it wont work on a network card like jetdirect card, hp lio based network card .

I fixed the problem , its the driver dont use the one for cups .also it prints at the right date for expired cartridges .

Iphoto gives message "no images were selected" when hit print button. Yet the the images are clearly selected in the print window. I've printed hundreds of images without a problem before. Iphoto 6.0.6, MAC 10.5.8, Suggestions?

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

IPhoto "buy book" order fails at end of upload

I have created a 20 pg hard-covered book in iPhoto which I can preview with no problems and I can create a pdf version of it (34.6MB). However, when attempting to buy the book, I get an error message with CANCEL/RETRY as my options at the very end of the upload process. I have tried the following, but still no success:
(1) safe boot - iPhoto crashes immediately at "BUY BOOK" selection
(2) set energy savers to off - dies at end of upload
(3) duplicated the book and tried to purchase duplicated version - dies at end of upload
(4) changed the theme of the book and tried to purchase it - dies at end of upload
(5) created a simple card and purchased it with no problems (so my account is fine) and I cancelled the order thereafter
Each page of the book has 2 portrait photos with minimal text underneath. The largest photo size is 4.6MB. All photos are JPGs. I rebooted my iMac each time before trying (2)-(5) above. I am running version 9.4.3 (720.91) of iPhoto. I have turned off my TimeMachine backup too and have all other applications closed when I attempt to purchase the book. To date, I have never had a problem purchasing books (last one in Dec 2012).
Thanks for any suggestions!

Sadly, no change after updating v10.8.5(combo). A normal boot with an attempt to "buy book" from iPhoto, gets almost to the end of the upload and then gives me the following error:
In Safe boot, I get to the beginning of the Assembly process and iPhoto crashes. Here is a portion of the problem details:
I compiled my book on Thursday evening, thinking that would be the painstaking part. Purchasing it has become too much of a time consuming adventure! I did call Apple Technical Support last evening and the service agent suggested that I check the Apple Support Community discussions, so thank you for taking a greater interest in my problem.
One other thing I found regarding problems submitting photobook orders is at the bottom of http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2516. An excerpt from this webpage is below, but I can't find the "NetServices" entry in my Keychain Access window to try this fix. Do you think this is a piece to my puzzle or simply old info as it was last modified on May 24, 2012?
Again, I was able to order a photocard (cancelled the order within 90 minute window) as a test, so I don't believe I have an account problem.
excerpt:
If you are using iPhoto '08 or iPhoto '09 and are unable to submit your order after following the steps above, please follow these steps to reset your Keychain:
Quit iPhoto.
From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
If you are unsuccessful with submitting your order, please contact Apple Technical Support.

IPhoto '08 Book upload errors with squid transparent proxy - tip

Hi folks
I've just "solved" a problem I was having with iPhoto Book uploads. The solution may apply to other publishing products from iPhoto and possibly iDisk uploads too.
My firewall & proxy setup is basically Linux iptables redirecting all outbound http (port 80) connections to a dansguardian filter, which in turn is passed onto a squid instance running as a transparent proxy (oh, and there's a privoxy in this all too!). Yeah, OK, I know, slightly paranoid, but I don't want my children accidently browsing stuff I don't think they are old enough for yet!
Now I had the problem before with iPhoto '06 as well, but at the time just didn't have the time or inclination to figure out what the problem was, and just did the book order and upload from the office, where it went through without a problem. This time I decided to dig a bit and see what was happening. The clue that triggered off the solution was watching the part of the order process where the book data is uploaded. In my default setup, the upload bar would scream through to 100%, and then sit there for ages, before coming back with a connection error. Watching the network flashy lights on the NIC on the firewall though, it suddenly dawned on me that what was happening was that the upload was screaming through to the squid (as there was no outbound network activity from the firewall while this was happening) and then sitting there waiting for squid to pass it on to the Apple site (as shown by the outbound NIC activity light suddenly going bonkers once the uoload bar hit 100%).
So clearly there's a problem sending book orders via a squid proxy setup as a transparent proxy. It might also very well be dansguardian interfering and wanting to take the entire upload and checking it before passing it on to squid. I already have site exception setup for all apple.com urls though in dansguardian, so didn't think it would be that. I thought about dicking around with the squid acl's but didn't have the enthusiasm to spend half the day getting that working.
So what I did in the end was tail the squid logs to see what was being proxied whilst the book order was going on, and then dropped in 3 new rules in my iptables setup just before the redirect rule. Tried ordering the book again, and voila!
The three rules I inserted were:
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d mercury.apple.com -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d configuration.apple.com -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp -d publish.mac.com -j ACCEPT
The "-s ! 10.1.1.1" bit is obviously particular to my setup, as I wouldn't want connections from the router itself being proxied, so that may need to either be customised or left out altogether. These three rules are then immediately followed by the redirect:
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -s ! 10.1.1.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8081
Hope that is of some help to someone out there!

Sorry for my ignorance but i'm having problems printing

Hi
I am very new to indesign and to print graphics. I am not new to web graphics.
I am having problems printing a document that I have created in InDesign CS5. Now I have learnt that I need to calibrate stuff with ICC profiles but I am not sure what I am doing.
Do i need to create aan ICC profile for my monitor and printer?
How do I get these to worl with InDesign?
I suppose I need to tell you what is going on. When I print my document which is mostly different shades of grey, most of the different grey shades are nearly black and I can only just see the differentces in shades between the grays. Now on my monitor they are distinctly different and can easily be seen.
So what steps do I nee dto get these colours right?
Cheers

For good reproduction you need an accurate monitor profile (this is done with a colorimeter or spectrophotometer --that's overkill for just the monitor, but it can do the printer, too -- and profiling software) and an output profile for the printer and paper combination. The industry standard EyeOne colorimeter package is around $200, the spectrophotometer will cost quite a bit more.
There are services that will profile your printer for you, too, but learing to do it yourself will cost less over the long haul if you are really serious about the output quality. In theory you need to recalibrate and profile printers on a regular basis, especially when you change ink or toner. Out here in the real world, though, I suspect most of us who are not producing commercial color output just do it once and live with it until the results are no longer acceptable and the profiles need to be updated. I proof for internal use on my color laser, for example, and it hasn't been re-profiled for about three years. It no longer matches waht I see on the monitor exactly, but it's still fairly close and the prints are for my own use. I always get a proof from the printer when it's time to go to press.
Of course not all monitors and not all printers are created equal. Some monitors are incapable of showing fine gradtions in sahding in the dark or very light grays, and many, if not most, printers can't capture all of the shades you can see on screen.
For any given printer resolution, such as a 600 dpi printer, the higher the linescreen value used to print, the lower the number of shades that can actually be produced. Halftone spots (which is what are used to fool you into seeing gray using only black ink) are made up of groups of printer dots, and you can't print half a printer dot, so, for example, 600 dpi printer outputting at 100 lines per inch linescreen, uses about 36 printer dots to make each halftone spot (it might be a little different because the shape of the halftone spot is seldom a square). The best you can get from 36 printer dots is 37 levels (no dots to all dots), so the best you can hope for is about 3% steps.
Add in dot gain, the spread of ink or toner as it's absorbed into the paper and which is more prominent at darker shades, and your shadows tend to plug up, and the very light shades may not show at all. Less than 5% dot, for example is extremely hard to print on most lasers.
A really good book on the subject is Real World Scanning and Halftones, and a great book on color management in general is Real World Color Management.

Color problem printing from iBook G4

having problems printing photos from an iBook G4 (10.3.9). The colors come out a bit over-saturated and muddy.
The same photos printed from my G5 Quad (10.4.6) come out looking fine.
I have used the iBook with a Canon ip6600 and ip6000 pixma photo printers and tried printing from iPhoto 5.0.4 and InDesign CS.
anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

I have no idea, either.
Try these generic fixes (before reinstalling OS X):
Download the Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD -- or, put in your install DVD and restart while holding the c key. DO NOT continue the installer - instead, find Disk Utility in the top (Finder) menus and use it to repair the hard drive.

Uploading custom pages to iPhoto photo books

I am trying to upload a custom page with photos and text to my iPhoto photo book. I am a digital scrapbooker. But I need to know the exact size with bleed to make sure that the text and photos appear the way I have designed. Is it possible to find out the size of the photo books with bleeds?
I am using version 9.5.1 of iPhoto.

I've not seen that in iPhoto '08 - iPhoto '09 does have a thumbnail bug like that that has not been fixed yet
Try clicking on the blank thumbnail and seeing what it shows in the main window
And remember the sure way to know what is going to print is to preview it according to this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference

Iphoto 4 books & help

First, I just wanted to find some more details about iphoto 4 books. Like in classic mode, what is the actual image size? It doesn't look very big. Second, are the photos just on one side of the page or both sides?
Next, my iphoto 4.0.3 help has been replaced by iphoto 5 help. I talked to a tech rep long enough to find out that he had dealt with this before and some file needs to be deleted but I haven't coughed up $50 or whatever to tell them how to fix something that one of their downloads likely created. What a bunch of ^$&^%(. Anyone know what to do?

Haven't found any information on V4's book options. You shouldn't base your upgrade decisions strictly on what you read here. They are only a small percentage of all the iPhoto users most of whom are not experiencing any problem at all. With proper preparation and system maintenance you and upgrade to iLife 05 successfully.
The book options of V5 so far exceed V4 that it's well worth it in my opinion.
