Sending a book for printing from a different computer

Hi everybody,
I'm an Aperture registered user and I live in Italy. At home, I actually have a quite slow internet connection. On the other hand, my office one is very fast but our lan does not accept a mac so I can't connect my macbook pro. Is it possible to "send" the book from a different computer? I mean, once Aperture have created the pdf-x, is it possible to carry the file from my macbook pro to my office pc and send it to Apple for printing?
Thank you!
Paolo

Boot into Safemode and Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Aperture 3: After sending my book for printing to Apple the Apple Store told me that my text and the background have the same color and they couldn't print the book. But I couldn't find any problem in the preview. How could I find the problem pages?

Idon't need the text which couldn'be seen.

The forum is for Logic Pro users.. I will ask the moderators to move it to a more appropriate forum for your question/subject

HT1040 I have previously submitted a book for printing three different times and Apple has told me it's been unreadable. I have previously previewed it before sending and it was perfect. I have followed all other directions. Help.

I have previously submitted a book for printing three different times and Apple has told me each time it's unreadable. I have previously previewed it each time before sending and it was perfect. I have followed all other directions - updated software, all other applications off etc. What am I doing wrong?

I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

No. Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days. Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

Unable to upload iPhoto book to print from iPad

I have been unable to upload my iPhoto book to print it from my iPad...
It will go through the process of requesting apple ID password --> verifying my credit card --> then will say "placing order. uploading project" and look like it is uploading (ie blue bar showing progress) and sometimes this is progressing for hours, but then the app will crash and close down.
Things I've tried/confirmed so far: I have the up to date versions of iOS and iPhoto, I have it connected to wi-fi and plugged in, I have closed down all other apps on the iPad
Has anyone else had this issue? Any solutions?
Is there a way to upload it from my computer instead? -- I have a PC but have been unable to find the 'book' or photos in iTunes or elsewhere on the computer to even try this...
Thanks for any help!

You have covered most issues, but you do not mention how much free memory you are having on your iPad. Submitting a book for printing need plenty of free memory on your iPad, about the same amount as the combined size of your photos. Could it be, that you are running out of memory?
Another reason might be an unprintable, corrupted photo in your book.

To order a photo book from Apple you need an Apple computer or an iOS device.

Question about file preparation for print from Photoshop

I need to figure out the best method for saving for print from Photoshop. Here are the things that are confusing me:
Problem: When I create a design in Photoshop, I'm left with a few options on how to save my document. I would like to know which of the following is the best method:
Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best route to take?
Method 2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause extremely long print times. Is this true?
Another problem I've encountered with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I have to create separate layers for the different text colors and try to manually align them...very time consuming. I know InDesign would be best for this type of thing, but Photoshop works just fine for me, asside from this one little thing).
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all) at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
Thank you to anyone who can help clear this up for me. I read so much inconsistant information online that I don't know what to think anymore.

Method 1: create a pdf and embed the required fonts. This method
worries me because I've read that certain fonts will not open on the
recipients end due to restrictions set by the font maker. Is this
something I should be concerned with or is embedding fonts the best
route to take?
Always embed fonts, but then again, Photoshop can't until you save a format that can like PDF. Some fonts do not allow you to do so. Outline the fonts or convert to shapes. Better yet, stop building text documents in Photoshop for print. It's generally a bad idea for many reasons like rejected jobs and lost money and time.
Method
2: Convert all type to shapes. This method seems like the safest but
I've read problems associated with this route as well. One website
commented that having too much text converted to shapes can cause
extremely long print times. Is this true?
Problems arise if you want someone to edit the files, but the same goes for a font that is missing. As far as the print slow down times - it depends upon the RIP and how complex the file is. Maybe or maybe not be an issue. After all, text in Photoshop is using a font as a vector shape layer and not a font in the traditional sense.
Another problem I've encountered
with converting text to shapes is when I have a paragraph that has more
than one text color...converting to shapes converts everything to just a
single color. I would love to know a work around to this. Currently I

A paragraph? Please attend a school that teaches you the basics of design in graphics. It will do you a great service to get more studies under your belt. Photoshop text is for graphical art not type setting.
Method 3: Flatten my entire design (text and all)
at 300dpi. Will my text look crisp flattening at this resolution?
It depends upon the resolution of the output device. The higher the resolution of the output the worse your text will be.

Failed to package book for print - now hundreds of links are broken

Hi,
I have a book document with 32 pages (newspaper) locally on my mac. As I always do after finishing my document, I chose to package the book for print, and save it to CC files server. The packaging process never finished, so after 30 minutes I had to force shut-down on InDesign. When re-opening the book file, I discover that ALL the documents has broken links. Some of the links belongs to the master pages, and most are specific to only this document, and they are located in several different folders on my mac. It will take hours to re-locate all of this links for each page.
I think I have been experiencing this before, but miraculously it all changed back to normal. Now, however, a restart of my mac didm´t do anything.
Why is this happening, and do anyone have a quick solution to fix this?
Thank u in advance

Are you talking about what I said - "Seems like in the past, I saved a copy of my book, then packaged the copy for print?"
I thought that was the only way around it. I feel certain I will not make this mistake again. Luckily, most printers I work with prefer pdfs. It's just an insane bug. If it's not a bug, it's a major flaw in the program. People do package books. The option wouldn't be in there if we didn't do it sometimes.

CS3 - Broken hyperlinks after Package Book For Print

I've posted a similar problem here a few weeks ago, but no answers, so hopefully I can get some help here with a more specific problem description...
I have created a an INDB, including several "chapter" INDD files, linked PNG images and hyperlinks to text and URL anchors throughout. Once I have everything complete, I select all the INDD files and do a "Package Book for Print", making sure the Preflight finds no problems, and then save the packaged INDB folder in a new directory on my local drive.
All works fine in the new INDB, EXCEPT that any hyperlink that points to a text anchor in a different INDD is broken.Apparently, the hyperlink is still pointing to the original INDD's absolute location rather than the new INDD text anchor within my newly packaged INDB. All Hyperlinks that point to a text anchor in the same INDD are fine.
I do not see any option to change this behavior. Strange though, that if I go to edit one of these "broken" hyperlinks, as soon as I choose the correct INDD that it should point to, then it correctly chooses the right link destination automatically in the edit dialog, so obviously it has stored the correct text anchor info, but just loses the document it should point to.
Is there any way to avoid this problem? It is a real pain to keep fixing hyperlinks every time a package my INDBs. I've heard some people use a 3rd party plugin to remedy this and other InDesign link problems (but I forget the plugin name). Suggestions??
Thanks!

IPhone question: Im trying to update applications on my iphone. When I do it I'm as for password from a different Apple ID from what I have in Itunes. How do I change so that both are the same?

All apps are tied to the apple id that it was used to purchase or download the app.
did you use a different id to buy the app?
you can change id, settings - appstore - apple id - log out and log in with correct id.

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.

I want to order prints from two different albums but don't want to pay shipping twice- How do I do this?

Select all the photos in both albums and order - or make a temp album containing all photos you want to order prints of and select all and order
The easiest way is the second suggestion -- make a temp album containing all of the photos and select all

Exporting iphoto books for printing at local printing services

Does anybody know how to export an iphoto book for printing at local printing services, other than Apple printing services?
I tried to export, but the only option available was to "export to iDVD", which is not very helpful (does not generate a printable file).
I'd appreciate any hints...

Yanomami:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you want to
do is do a print to pdf. Then take the pdf file to
the printing service to be printed.
Thank you for the tip. One follow up question: does PDF file have the right photo quality/definition to print a book, or would it be better to export to a TIFF file or some other type? If so, how to export to TIFF then?
Thanks again for any help you can offer.
