Strange text in printed book

I have just received my book from Apple and for some reason the text in two please is corrupted.
On the front cover it was supposed to say "Oceana 2005" but instead it has "Oceana2c00e" with some overlapping of the "2" and the "c".
Also on the inside I have an introduction page with a title and all the places we visited, it is all OK except for the exact same fault as above in the title of the page.
I have reviewed the book in iPhoto and the issue is not visible there.
I have also printed the book to a PDF file and the problem is not visible there.
Has anyone else seen this problem before?

I've not heard of that particular problem. Contact Apple thru the Customer Service-Ordering Books page and request a refund. Then you can try to reorder.

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'. Really dissapointed, my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it?

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'.
Was really dissapointed when my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it? Or can I get some sort of discount? I don't live near a post office so I'd rather not have to return it.

Contact Apple support - they can answer that type of questions - we are just users here like yourself
BTW - it is best not to order when you have errors - to resolve that error place a single space in the subject text box
and always
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.

Can I print book with text blocks instead of photos?

I have spent all day creating a book to print which included a photo on front, poems in place of photos on all pages (which I'd previously made into jpgs by creating layers in photoshop). I get to the ordering stage and I get an error window saying:
DEFAULT TEXT: your book appears to have default text that has not yet been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue with your order?
SO what does the above mean exactly?
And is it not possible to print text pages instead of photos?
Iphoto doesn't appear to give an open to type text on each page, but maybe iphoto 6 (iLife) does???
And how come it's not possible to ship my order internationally?
Thank you in advance for your help in answering my questions

I haven't printed out an iPhoto book myself, but the message you are getting seems to indicate that you did not fill in some parts of page templates. If so, then those parts will print blank even though iPhoto shows them containing default text. You probably wanted them blank anyway, though.
As for using iPhoto to print out a book with only one picture, that is probably doing things the hard way. If you want to print a book of text, there are now web options to do so costing about the same as an iPhono book. I don't think iPhoto is going to add templates sson for non-photo books.
As for overseas shipping, that is probably an issue of duties and shipping costs. Many US sellers on the Web will ship only to the US or perhaps Canada.

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
How do I proceed? How do I identify which is "default text?"

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box. If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text. Look for boxes like this:
Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

Korean text in photo book print (Aperture)

Hi, I want to know if Korean language text will be printed on my photobook created by Aperture.
To make this post helpful for others, is there any language not supported by Aperture/iPhoto?
FYI, I'm ordering from the United States.
Thank you.

The Print Product page
http://www.apple.com/sg/aperture/resources/print-products.html
says:
Hardcover and softcover books.
Create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind hardcover book of your summer travel photos. Or a set of impressive softcover books of your work to give to clients. Aperture 3 makes it easy with 11 professionally designed themes. You can customise each template by resizing and repositioning the photo and text boxes, and create borders of any width or colour on photo boxes. For text, you can use any font, size or style, and design multicolumn text boxes. And the books are available in various sizes, from an extra-large 33-by-25.4-cm format to small books that fit in your pocket.
I take that to mean, you can use any font, that comes preinstalled by Apple. Does your Korean font show, when you preview the page, as described here?
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
The preview is supposed to look exactly, as the printed book will look.

I book text boxes that are not used will not show up in the printed book?

If I don't want to use all the text boxes for my printed book will the outline be printed anyway?(black background with white text box) I assume there is no way to turn the captions off.
Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
Which theme and layout are you discussing
In general text boxes do not show in printed books - however they must have something in them - at least a single space
But some clearly show up - in the travel theme the layouts that have text blocks that look like a torn piece of paper or a post card will of course print
Always preview your book and verify the resulting PDF to see what you rfinal book will look like - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040
And usually I can find an alternative layout with no text

Strange text display in pdf using adobe reader exported by Indesign CS5

Hi there,
I have export an interactive pdf from indesign CS5 PC version with version 7 update, and it looks fine in most of the PC and Mac Adobe reader.
But 2 of the computer had strange text display. One is the iMAC with latest version of Adobe Reader
<== you can see the text "78" and "454" are abnormal
But with the same computer using Safari with perview plugin is showing following result:
<==you can see the text are normal.
The pdf is embedded with following fonts and property:
Another Windows XP with Adobe Acrobat 9 will had same display as the iMac.
I ensure the Windows XP don't have the font installed with HelveticaNeue and the Mac is using OS Lion Bundle with that font.
Now the customer blame it is the problem of the pdf created by me and I had no idea how to explain to my customer and find out solution.
I had a trial version of CC but same result and no error during the export.
Any idea is highly appreciate. The customer hotline and the live chat is hopeless as they send me to this community to ask since I use CS5 not the latest version.
Regards,
Ichi

Thanks Willi,
I had the fonts of Helvetica Neue bold light etc which created by Adobe and the font was created in 1993,shown in font property.
my PDF output is set to interactive not the print one. Other settings are default.
the purpose of this PDF is for user to print out and read on website. The funny thing is print out had no problem at all with HP and Ricoh printer using PCL 6 driver.
Despite Safari, the strange font happened in only Adobe product, other PDF reader had no problem such as foxit reader, xchange reader.
I tried to not embed the font but not able to do indesign, search in Google, it said it always embedded. Also that font family is preloaded in Mac OS.
I can try any test if there is a way to find out the solution.
or what should I do so the PDF should display correctly in all computer
thanks a lot.

Can i print books created with iBook Author?

I'd like to create a book with images and text. Can anyone tell me if 1. this can be done on MacBookAir - I don't have an iPad. 2. once the book is created, can I then send it away to be printed and bound?
Kate

Apple doesn't print books, you would have to find someone else to do that.
The software for making books runs on full computers like the MacBook Air, not on the iPad.

ABLE TO PRINT IMAGES, UNABLE TO PRINT BOOKS!

I saw a message a while back with the same problem, but with no answer. Please help! I can print images, but i can't print a book's page, unless there's only text in the page!
Thank you for your help!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Aperture.
Print image: YES
Print book: NO
Print book page with text only: YES
Print book page with image: NO
Print book page with text and image: NO
Generated PDF from within Aperture, then tried printing it: same behaviour (got prints only for pages with text only).
Any other PDFs in my computer print fine, whether pages with images, photos, text or combination of all of them.
It seems that aperture is not only unable to print from its own system, but it inherits those flaws to the PDFs it generates as well.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you.

Missing text in ordered books - Fixed?

I have had the problem with missing text when generating books and calendars. However, after the latest updates (6.0.4) this problem seem to be solved.
Now, when I print the books as PDF all text is placed where it is supposed to be.
Are there anyone else with the same experience?

The same thing happened to me. Although I entered all the text correctly, following instructions, there was no text at all (apart from the title on the cover) printed in the book I ordered. When I complained to Apple, I was sent to the i-photo site but can't find any mention of this problem there. I paid to have the book created according to my specifications, including the text, so I expect Apple to send me another copy, this time correctly printed. I'm using iPhoto version 6.0.3 which came with my brand-new iMac Intel OSX 10.4.6 and if this version has flaws, then it's up to Apple to warn us of the problem. I'll upgrade to iPhoto 6.0.4 but still want Apple to send me the book as I ordered it.

Strange text in webpages

Some sites I regularly visit are now coming in with strange text fonts...making it very hard to read.....i can go to the same site from another computer and all text is normal.......any suggestions
thank you, claude

Fonts are stored in several places, for example:
HD/System/Library/Fonts
HD/Library/Fonts
Home/Library/Fonts
Home/Library/Font Collections
The easiest way to sort them and avoid duplicates etc, is to use Font Book.app which you will find in either your Applications Folder, or in the Utility Folder.

How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

Hi All,
In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
to the Windows 2003 x32 server, it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob
