Restore iphoto book

One of my iPhoto Books has appeared with missing images and one missing page.
Can anyone tell me please how I replace the faulty Book with last weeks version from Time Machine?

For some unknown reason the menu has mysteriously returned and the text editor is back to normal.  Phew!

  • HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

    1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
    2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
    3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

    Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
    What version did you have?
    Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

  • PDF preview of iPhoto book shows image degradation

    For years I have made iPhoto books first designing pages with text and color imagery in InDesign, then exporting PDFs of the pages to iPhoto via Automator, and then placing the designed pages into blank pages of the iPhoto book. Prior to printing I preview the book by going to Preview in the print dialog box. The preview images have always been spot on regarding what the image quality of the finished book would be. Now I'm trying to make a large book incorporating both color and black and white images. These are elegant, black and white images that have been lovingly restored in Photoshop and feature full tonal ranges. They are TIFF images. Subsequent to making a small, trial run book, I discovered that if I kept the images as grayscale images, they printed too dark. AS a result of phone conversations with Apple and trying the Adobe discussion site, I found that if I resaved the BW images as RGB, the page PDFs I generated when exporting the pages out of InDesign reproduced the BW images perfectly. Likewise, throughout the process of assembling the new iPhoto book, when I placed the pages, the BW images looked gorgeous. However, just prior to uploading the book, I decided to preview the pages and generated a PDF preview in the print dialog box. Lo and behold, all the images show up noticeably different; the BW images lack good blacks--the dark areas seem distinctly muddy compared to the originals. Does anyone have a clue as to what is happening and how I might regain the original look? Thanks. I'm using iPhoto 11 with Snow Leopard on a new iMac.

    I don't think you're doing anything incorrectly. I think that the inside page is automatic in the printing process and is not included in the pdf file that is created. Only the cover and pages 1-20 or whatever are added to the pdf file.

  • Recovery of iPhoto books in iOS 8.0

    How can I recover lost photo books from iPhoto after upgrade to iOS 8.0 on my iPad? Apples offers to migrate pictures from iPhoto to Photo, but why wuold I need that? I have all the pics! What I need is the text, setup and everything I invested well over 500 hours in preparing for printouts.
    Please help... can´t help to think why Apple is doing this against users.

    There is no support at all for photo books in the Photos.app with iOS 8.
    Have you kept an iTunes backup of your iPad before you upgraded, so you could try to restore your books to different iPad that still has iOS 7?

  • How to recover an iphoto book from backup

    Hello,
    My wife managed to accidentally delete a 75 page iphoto book she's been working on for months.  I have a backup of our iphoto library at an offsite location (read: not a time machine) and am in the process of transferring a copy of it to my local machine.  However, since the entire iphoto library is 80+ gb, I would prefer to only recover this book if at all possible.  I've done some digging through the iphoto library and have found the book in the /iPhoto Library/Metadata Backup/Albums/Album.18008.ipmeta.  I have recovered this file from my backup and placed it back into this folder on my local computer, but unfortunately this hasn't restored the book in iphoto itself.  I'm assuming there are other pointers hidden throughout the database that also will need to be restored to make this book show up again in iphoto.  Has anyone dealt with this problem before and managed to recover a deleted book without restoring the entire iphoto library?
    Thank you,
    Dennis

    You must recover the entire iPhoto library. Books are not a seperate item but are database entries
    And it is critical that you do not muck around inside the iPhoto library. There are no user serviceable parts in it and if you make and changes you may corrupt it and cause data loss

  • Why a restored iPhoto lib doesn't open in 10.8 ?

    Hello,
    After downgrading to 10.8, I can't open my restored iPhoto lib from TM, but I am asked to continue to do that with 10.9.
    IPLM is nice to view the photos but all the books are gone! Is there any possibility to force iPhoto 11 to open the restored lib?
    david

    OK
    remember that when you upgraded the library you were told that this was a one way streat and previous versions would not be able to open the library and you agreed to that.
    the only solution is to go back to a backup of the  library for the version you are now using or to use IPLM to downgrade the library to version 8.4.3 which does not keep projects
    Using the Time Machine applicaion go back in time before you pugraded to iPhoto 9.5 and restore the iPhoto library from there

  • Iphoto Book Crashes

    While working in a specific book for hours it became unresponsive and we got the following message: " The theme used to create this book is no longer available in Iphoto". The weird is that the theme we were using is the most basic one (picture book, hardcover, large) and we did not try changing it while working on the book. We end up losing the book since it would not open the book anymore nor close Iphoto. Appreciate anyone expertise on this.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First, backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options. Then repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
    Click to view full size
    Now see if you can create a book with that theme. If not you may have to reinstall iPhoto to get the themes back and recognized.
    Restoring iPhoto Themes
    First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
    1 - delete the current application.
    2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
    4 - mount the system disk that came with your computer, double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
    After installing reinstall the latest iPhoto updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.
    Happy New Year

  • Iphoto why does iphoto crashe when trying to change theme on iphoto book.

    i have been trying to change the theme style of a iphoto book i made and everytime i press change theme is shows its loading and never loads or it crashes. help me out pleas.

    HI Rune,
    That is most likely a shared library issue. The Finder is trying to access your iPhoto library without iPhoto being open. Sometimes when libraries are shared, they can become corrupt.
    Go here and read about shared library issues.
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sharedlibraryerrors.html#Anchor-Resolving-35326
    The easiest way to fix this is to back up your important data and do an Archive and Install which restores your system software. It does NOT erase the drive, you do not have to reinstall any Apple pre-installed software, ie., iLife applications.
    Go here and read the instructions for archive and install.

  • IPhoto book themes

    I had a hard drive crash and am in the process of restoring a new hard drive with the recovered data. iPhoto seems to work fine except I lost all of the iPhoto Book Themes. I re-installed iPhoto on the new drive, and, as I said, it seems to be working. But, I cannot find the themes. Where can I go to download the themes for this. I am using iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424).

    there is no download - click here for a discussion on reinstalling themes.

  • IPhoto crashed. When reopened, 70  some events were grayed out (no photos).  Restored iPhoto library from Time Machine, fewer grayed events.  Said yes to a msg on fixing library, 3K more photos. Still wrong.  What next to do?

    iPhoto crashed. When reopened, 70+  some events were grayed out (no photos).  Restored iPhoto library from Time Machine, fewer grayed events.  Said yes to a msg on fixing library, 3000 more photos. Still wrong.  What next to do?

    Do you still have the library that you were using when the crash occurred?  If so apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Restoring deleted books from Time Machine

    Hi all,
    I deleted one of my keepsaker books and I'd like to restore it from my Time Machine. However, I had no idea what file or folder I need to restore. I have other books in my iphoto but every time I search then in Finder i did not find any file or folder related to, just the pics. How should I proceed?
    Thank you very much!
    P.

    Books are virtual things that exist only in the iPhoto database until you preview and/or upload them
    Quit iPhoto, Open Time Machine and go back in time to a time before you deleted the book,select the iPhoto library (in your pictures folder by default) and click restore - restore to the desktop so as not to overwrite your current iPhoto library - depress the option key and launch iPhoto and select the iPhoto library you just restored on your desktop and verify your book

  • Help with restoring Address Book from Time Machine

    Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
    Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
    I don't understand.
    Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
    Please help!
    M

    Hello mb9236,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with restoring a contact from Time Machine. 
    It sounds like you are trying to restore the Address Book application.  The Address Book application is just the application and does not include the content in Address Book. 
    Instead, you will want to open Address Book and then launch Time Machine and restore your contacts from there.  Use the steps below to restore your contacts form a previous date (in step one instead of opening Mail or Finder, be sure you have Address Book open and in focus):
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily bring back one or more items you’ve lost, or recover older versions of files you’ve changed.
    Open a window for the item you want to restore. For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
    If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
    Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. If you back up to a Time Capsule or other network disk, a message briefly appears while Time Machine connects your computer to the backup disk.
    Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the snapshots and backups Time Machine created. Gray tick marks on the timeline represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk.
    If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it. The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
    When you find the item you want to restore, select it, and then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk. The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.
    If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
    You can use Time Machine from within many applications. For example, you can open Address Book and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to recover contacts you may have accidentally deleted, or open iPhoto and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to view past versions of your iPhoto albums.

  • Where are iPhoto books stored?

    Trying to restore an iPhoto book that was messed up.  Went to Restore to find it to restore it but no dice... Where is the iPhoto book project stored?

    they are not "stored" - they are simply entries in the iPhoto databases - to restore a book you must restore the entier iPhoto library from when the book was there

  • How can I turn my French apple account into Australian one to be able to buy a Iphoto book I've made?

    hi
    How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?

    And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.
