I want to send a Photo book to Belgium but I can't change the Country (now is Italy) in the shipping contacts but only the address (name, street, city) and there is Italy fix. How can I do ? Can I send from my country a photobook in another country?

You can change the Print Store location from iTaly to Belium in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane:
Then try to order. HOWEVER, you still may not be able to order. Over here in the States the shipping address must be in the same country as the billing address of the credit card used. It may be the same way over in Europe.
Give it a try and see. Let us know how you fare.

Cant send my photo book

Hi there
I am using iphoto 09 and have spent hours creating 4 photobooks of a recent trip. I then tried to buy the books but constantly get the error message - An error occurred while uploading one of your files. Please check your network connection and click retry to resend your file. I am sure the connection is Ok. I use the internet all the time with no problems and tried saving the photobook as a pdf and then uploaded it to another photobook site. I really want to use the apple photobook site though and dont want to have to buy my books elsewhere. Can anyone help or should I go elsewhere. PS. I have already made and ordered loads of books with apple, but havent done so in a while.
Thanks

Boot into Safe Mode, preview the book as described in this Apple document, iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture , and if the preview is successful order the book while still in Safe Mode.

How can I print a photo book in Mandarin

I have just returned from Taiwan and would like to send a photo book to an amazing gentleman I met who only speaks Mandarin. I have access to a first rate translator, but couldn't find information pertaining to printing in this language. Thank you.

If the Mac supports Mandarin (I looked in the languages section of the System preferences and saw several asian languages but couldn't tell which, if any, were Mandarin) you might be able to use Language Switcher with iPhoto to create the book in Mandarin, preview it according to this Apple Document,http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 , and then order it.

Photo books to Portugal

Is there anyway to send a photo book from iPhoto to Portugal?
If not, is there any preview date for that option?
I created some albuns and I would like to print them...
Thanks!

No, and no one outside of Apple knows what plans - if any - they have.

Photo books and store problems

Whenever I want to send my photo book i get the message that the shop is currently not available? how long does this last? any troubleshooting? Who can help? I would like to have the books for xmas

Hello, Pascal
It does seem you have tried most of the things that help other users.
Although you do not say which iMac you use, as I understand your post, yours has a built-in iSight. If that is correct, when you look in System Profiler and click the following items:
you should see your camera information. If not, your iMac likely needs professional service. Before you go to see your Apple Service Technician, you can consider any of the following items that you think might be relevant. Although some of the following are not a remedy for no iSight in System Profiler, they might help you or other readers who can see their built-in USB iSights in System Profiler but are still experiencing the "camera in use" error.
Do you use the "Mirror" widget in Dashboard? That is one application that people sometimes forget might be running.
If you use an HP printer/scanner, check the suggestion in this post by parkersal.
If you have not yet tried all relevant suggestions in How to Troubleshoot iSight, do so now. Be sure to check whether the problem is application specific as well as user specific.
I understand that you have already reset the SMC, but, if the reset and other Troubleshooting suggestions you perform now do not correct your problem, you can try the following:- Repair permissions.
- Then download and apply the appropriate combo updater for your iMac:
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (iNtel) or
Mac OS X 10.4.9 Combo Update (PPC)
- Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight and System Profiler again.Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates, but if your iSight still does not show in System Profiler, I think you should see your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
Please let us know what it takes to get sorted.
Cheers,
Jim

I am in the process of trying to send some "photos" from iPhoto to a self publishing company and they want it sent CMYK as opposed to RGB. The "photos" were printed beautifully for 2 books I created at an earlier date. I want to send in the right format

How do you convert iPhotos to CMYK? I want to send "artwork" which are essentially photos to a self publishing company for a children's book and don't know how to do this. The iBooks I created are beautiful and vibrant. Why can't I just send the photos? They want all artwork tiff and CMYK with at least 300dots on resolution?

Photoshop is a very expensive application. GraphicConverter can convert RGB files to CMTK and can set the PPI to what you need:
GraphicConverter is the only 3rd party image editor other than the full Photoshop to be able to convert to CMYK. You can get it here: Mac photo editing, Mac photo software, Mac photo-editing - GraphicConverter

If this is an iPhoto question (the forum you posted in) and if you have iPhoto '11 (you tell nothing about your system) then you set the print products country in the iPhoto preferences

Can I send a link to a photo book so family members can choose to order a copy from Apple?

I woud like to share the photo book that I created so that family members in other states can consider purchasing a copy from I Photo. Is there a way they can view it?

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.
you can share the PDF via drobbok or other file sharing service

Sending a photo heavy PDF for book printing on a web press. Convert photo in photoshop first or Acrobat 11?

Hi,
The printing company for our photo book on Loons, uses roll fed web presses. They have asked for a pdf set to X-1a.
First soft proof was light and washed out. Printer had us increase saturation and contrast. Second proof
all our blue water photos come out more purple then blue.
We currently used srgb jpeg photos embedded in a ms word document. We used acrobat 11 to create the pdf using the request X-1a
setting.
Should we have converted the photos in photoshop to the requested setting first and then embedded them in word?
Thanks for any help.

Can you show us screen shots of your X-1 PDF Settings ( i.e., Color )? The reason why I ask is my default Distiller PDF-X1a:2001 Settings use a working space of RGB = sRGB IEC61966-2.1; and CMYK = US Web Coated (SWOP) v2 with the "Color Management Policies: "Convert All Colors to CMYK" ( default ); Rendering Intent ( default is "Preserve" ). Have you discussed these settings with the print service provider? These settings, if they are identical in Acrobat 11, would appear to have the same RGB work space as your original sRGB based pics. I sense that Word, although not a color managed application, would work as an image carrier into Acrobat 11 where the image files may retain their profiles going into Acrobat 11 and remain intact going out of Acrobat 11 via a PDF-X1a. In which case, the print service provider then RIP and Prints the file for a hardcopy proof. In your case, the previous digital printer did a good job reproducing the photos as you supplied them, Word or no Word. The question now becomes what changed with this new service provider? Their prepress people must of accepted your documents and pushed them through their workflow. So, what changed? I know of no way to "swap" images using Acrobat. In your case, it may be a matter of saving a second set of files or the entire book document as a copy and replacing the pics in that file, then create a second PDF-X1a file. And, as a third option, use InDesign ( however, no point in using it until you've determined where the problem with quality lies ). If I assume the printer told you that the sRGB files were sufficient and, if you used the X-1 PDF Settings when Saving As > PDF, that would be their preferred workflow and the image files rendered dull and unsaturated ( as they did in your case ), and the printer recommended you increase the saturation and HUE of the images ( which he did ) and the entire workflow worked for a digital printer in the past ( which it did ), then something changed with this new print service provider. You have to find out from them what it could be. It could be something with their direct-to-plate equipment. I believe it merits further research and development with the new service provider. There is a solution. You just have to find it.
"Once the pdf is created could I swap out the photos
for ones that had been converted from RGB to CMYK in photoshop with Rendering Intent and Black Point Compensation etc. filled. "...
Wait a minute. You did a RGB-to-CMYK conversion in Photoshop? Why? I thought you embedded the RGB files in Word? Then, Acrobat did the conversion using the X-1 settings mentioned above.
"How hard would it be to dump my word document into InDesign with the newly created RGB or CMYK photos would it work better? Is the learning curve too much of a hassle for one off?"...
Yes it would. But, your procedures worked for the digital printer. Why not now with the new printer? That's my question. Since Acrobat's X-1 settings have a work space of sRGB ( assumed ), then your sRGB files should render appropriately and they do not. You have to find out what works for this new print service provider and, whatever Photoshop Color Setting RGB workspace you use, use it in Acrobat 11. Discuss the entire document and Photoshop setups with the new print service provider.
