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 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 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 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
Brendan

Working now. Must have been a problem with Apple over the weekend.

Facebook Problems - Uploading in iPhoto '09

I'm having a problem. When I try to upload photos to Facebook I get the "Set Up" window. I log in to my account and once it is on it tells me to close the window and go back to the application, but then it will ask me again to "Set Up" the account. It will continue doing this forever. Any thoughts?

I was having the same problems. I think it is a problem with the way Facebook blocks applications.
I solved the problem by clicking on the iPhoto Uploader hyperlink in the uploader box, telling Facebook to Block the iPhoto Uploader application. I then went back to iPhoto and attempted to upload a photo. After the login screen all I got was a screen that said close. I did this, then went back to the iPhoto Uploader option in Facebook and told it to Allow the application. Then when I selected pictures in iPhoto and clicked on the Facebook button, I logged in as before and was presented with the option to publish the picture.
Now everything works .... my guess is that facebook was rejecting the request from iPhoto to publish, but fails to show an error message. The solution is to disallow then allow the iPhoto Application from Facebook (using the hyperlink in the iPhoto Uploader login box.)

Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Happy Holidays

I cannot upload my iPhoto book to the Online Store. I get an error message that I cannot connect. Apple support said servers are too busy. Anyone else have this problem and a solution?

Problems uploading revised book

I created my book in iBooks Author and uploaded it (and it just went live this morning). However, since I uploaded it, I realized I should really have checked the "Disable Portrait Orientation" box. I wanted to upload the revised version, but I am running into problems. Obviously I don't want to use the publish button in iBooks Author, since I already have a version of the book in iTunes Producer. So I exported the revised book to an iBooks file, then tried to upload that in iTunes Producer, but I am getting one error. I don't have the error on this computer, but basically it said said that my audio file could only be uploaded as part of a widget. I did insert my audio file into the book with a widget, and had no problems uploading the original file. It is only when I try to submit this revised version that I get the error message. Am I going about saving and/or uploading the revised book in the wrong way? Any other ideas in regard to what the problem could be? Thank you.

Were you able to properly login to Blurb before uploading ?

What did you rent the film on, your iPad or your Mac ? If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app on it (you should get a rentals tab in the app). If you rented it on your Mac then it should be in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library, you will have to connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and move it from your Mac to your iPad (I think that it should show on the iPad's Movies tab for moving)

Error message when uploading book for printing. All images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large to upload? What size is required and how do I reduce size in Aperture?

I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?

Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.

UNABLE TO UPLOAD BOOK

Since buying my iMac G5 I've never been able to upload a book to Apple. Never. (Never is just about 3 years). I've just installed iLife 08 hoping...to no avail. I've also been dealing with Apple Photo and print services for 3 days. I can order prints, but not a book. I have a test book with no alerts at all and it won't upload. I see I'm not the only one with this experience. But, I've tried most of the solutions suggested. Seems to me if I can upload prints, I should be able to upload books. My test book is just 20 pages. 12mb. Shouldn't be a problem. Are there any proven solutions out there?
I'd sure appreciate knowing. I do not like the new MyPublisher. com solution. The new Bookmaker 2.2 replaced their iPhoto plug-in. The couldn't leave well enough alone. Any other resources out there?
Thanks to one and all.

Here's what happens: I order a book, (all account information is correct and 1-click is enabled), the assembles very quickly and then "Transferring" begins. The bar zips along to full. That's where it sits for a period of time. Then the "Unexpected Error" message appears. I quote:
*"An error occurred while uploading one of your files. Please check your network connections and click Retry to resend your file."* I suspect many others are familiar with this message.
The last thing Apple Photo Services had me do was delete "Net Services" from the Keychain Access
utility. That doesn't work, either.
Can't remember the other solutions I've tried since I bought this iMac G5. There have been a couple of others from Photo Services but I can't find them in my eMail (I don't keep things for long).
I'm puzzled because I can upload book files to My Publisher; as noted, uploading prints doesn't seem to be a problem. And sending/receiving large graphic files from my office has never been a problem.
Apprecitae your help.
Thanks!
David
FYI: All my software is current. I have a DSL line. I can successfully order prints from Apple. My test book has no yellow "alerts" concerning picture quality. I run "Disk Utility and Disk Warrior regularly.
