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 ?

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.

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

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

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.

Hi.i currently use photoshop lightroom 4 and have uploaded books to blurb with no problems but today every time i try to log in to blurb through lightroom to upload the book a msge appears saying "Could not cotact Blurb web service.please check internet c

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,
Sean.

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 Publication Preview for my book in iTunes Producer

I created a book in iBooks Author (very easy), and uploaded it using iTunes Producer. However, I didn't realize I needed to create a separate sample book/publication preview. Now, when I look at my book in iTunes Connect, it says, "No publication preview uploaded. You must upload a publication preview before it can appear on the store." However, I can't find any way to upload my publication preview after the fact. Interestingly, in iTunes Producer, it says "Optional Preview", so that's why I didn't worry about including it. I click on "choose", then navigate to where I saved the sample book file, and it is greyed out so I can't select it. I did try starting from scratch, but it still didn't include the preview. If I save the preview in iBooks Author's default location, then I can't find the files anywhere on my computer, so I just saved it in my documents. Any ideas?

For the preview, when you have your book open in iBooks Author, go to the File Menu and select duplicate. This will create a duplicate copy of your book. You may want to rename it. On the second copy, decide what pages you want to include in the preview/sample book, and delete all the other pages. Once you've saved the shorter version, go to the file menu and select export. This will bring up a window, where you should make sure you've clicked on iBooks for the export type. Then it will ask you to name and save it.
Once you've done that, open the iTunes Producer file with all your book information, and find the box for the preview version and then navigate to the new file and add that. Then when you upload your book, it should include both the full book and the preview version.

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!

ITunes Producer: Problem uploading - ERROR ITMS-5122

I am having a problem uploading an album via iTunes Producer (Version 2.2.1 (137)). At the Delivery stage, I receive the message ERROR ITMS-5122: "Genre should be specified using genre label code instead of label: electronic" at Album/Tracks/Track. I have tried tweaking my upload at both the album and track levels to one or two genres and am seeing a similar error. Does anyone know how I can correct this issue? Thank you for any assistance!

It means that there is no alternate text for the image, in the event that it doesn't load. This will put text where the image should be, so that the reader knows that there was an image that was supposed to display there.
What it means for your ebook is that your images should be coded as such:
<img src=".../Images/ABC_bookcover.jpg" alt="Cover for ABC Book" />
Where the alt text is a description.
If you want to get around this quickly, you can simply open up all your .xhtml files in text wrangler and do a search for <img src= and replace it with <img alt="" src=
Even if you have nothing in the alt description, having it there will get past the check.

Uploading Urdu Books

I have encountered some problems while uploading Urdu Books as PDF-Files. There is no "Form" for entering information about the Title of the book or the Publisher. Obviously the text within the PDF-File, which is in Urdu script cannot be read automatically although it contains all relevant information. This problem can be solved if a "Form" may be provided, in which I could enter information regarding the title of the book as well as the name and address of the publisher.

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when uploading a book to blurb via the Blurb plugin

I am trying to upload a book from InDesgin CS5.5 to Blurb via the Blurb plugin. Whenever I do the preflight starts as it should and gets about 2/3 of the way through before InDesign closes and I get an error message coming up saying that InDesign has closes unexpectedly.
I spoke to Blurb and they suggested exporting the book as a pdf with their pdf export settings. This worked fine for the book cover but with the pages of the book the same thing happened as when trying to upload it directly to Blurb. When I try to export it as a pdf with my own export settings it works fine, its just the blurb preset that seems to be an issue.
When I mentioned this to blurb they said it must be a problem on Adobes end not theirs.
Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
My system is a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the error message I get is attached below:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've done that but it still crashed at the same place with the same error message:

Cannot upload iphoto book - issues

This has been a recurring problem and to be honest it is very frustrating. Here is a summary of my issues:
1. Book upload (generally in most cases is a XLarge, 50+ pages) gets all the way to the end and - "An error occurred uploading your order". I retry, an hour or two later same thing. This has happened on my last 8 attempts on 2 different books.
I have tried the following fixes:
- installing mavericks and new iphoto
- using hard wired ethernet cable as opposed to wifi
- doing all the suggested fixes from these forums, plists and all that.
- my apple ID is fine - works for everyrhing else.
I had a run a little while back when using the ethernet cable that all my books worked, 6+ over a 6 week period Mar-Apr but recently (this last month) back to failure.
*** Apple? What is happening? No one can find a solution. Apple over the phone support cannot help, they dont have a fix. The books are nice, I'd rather not have to go elsewhere, but seriously this is beyond a joke.
Any suggestions welcome, please......

Ok,
I solved my own problem and frankly i'm amazed.
I followed some suggested tips like booting in safe mode but I didnt upload the book in that.
I ran a speed test for my internet, my upload was 0.43mbps, fairly standard for ADSL2+ in Australia. This probably explains why it was taking 2+ hours to upload. During that time I guess anything can happen with my line, hence the failures if the internet drops out.
I used my iPhone to tether. I found the place in my housed with the best 4G/LTE reception - 1 bar off full coverage. Began the book upload. IT TOOK LESS THAN 2 MINUTES to upload an 80 page book.
I still cant believe it. I'm thankful 4G coverage has recently come to my area. This will be my method to upload books every time!!
I'm quite happy.
So my suggestion is that if your books are slow to upload or fail during the process, check your upload speed and if you can tether from an iphone or 4G device, give it a try worked for me - amazingly well.
