Stuck on "Uploading Order..." when ordering prints

I'm trying to order prints through Aperture. These are about 330 4x6 prints. It completed the dialogue box where is prepares the photos in an hour or so, but it's now been over a day where it's stuck on "Uploading Order...". If I try to quit Aperture, I get the dialogue box "Your book order is not complete. The book is still being uploaded. Are you sure you want to cancel the upload?" I don't know why it's talking about a book. I've never made one before. Are there some steps to take to ensure photos upload better? These are all full resolution RAW images; overkill for 4x6 prints, but it was my understanding that the "Preparing photos" part optimizes the photos for transfer. Any ideas what I should do?

Tried 5 more times to no avail. I also realized that as it prepares my photos, it eats up about 50 GB of disk space. It's still there after quitting Aperture and the only way I can recover the space is by restarting the computer. I'm not sure where this file is kept as it's not in the Aperture Library or the caches folder. Also, several times as it was "uploading order", Aperture would simply quit with no dialogue box saying it unexpectedly quit.
So, I put my photos into iPhoto and ordered from there. Worked perfectly.

  • Uploading failed when trying to order a printed book

    I have been trying to order/print a book thru iPhoto.  Everything works fine until the uploading process-- then I get an error message saying that an asset failed to upload and to retry.  I have tried changing security settings as well as addressing the iPhoto plist as was suggested in this site.  Any thoughts?

    does it preview correctly -
    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.
    and providing details helps - what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.9.5 as you state correct? have you tries uploading in Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support - what is the exact error message?

  • Re iphoto: when I double click on a thumbnail i get e grey screen with exclamation mark..can't access my photos to edit, order prints etc

    Was wondering if anyone can help...I am not very computer friendly but want to be able to edit my photos, use them as jpegs, order prints etc. When I double click on a thumbnail ( am presuming the thumbnails are the small photos ) I get a grey screen with an exclamation mark on it. I cannot drag the thumbnail onto the desk top it just pings back. This doesn't happen with all the thumbnails and has been a problem since we upgraded to snowleopard. I recently reinstalled photos from the memory card from my camera and they are alright. I am presuming that the old photos are stuck in there somewhere if only I knew the right buttons to press to get them out. Thanks, Jane Thomas

    Easiest: Restore from your back up.
    Otherwise:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Order prints when Adobe Shop is unavailable  Windows

    How do I order prints through on online vendor when Adobe Photoshop Elements v.4 has no local vendor?
    Export feature is inactive.
    No CD backup option identified.
    Is there anyway to upload a folder to a commercial service or must it be one by one?
    Thanks

    >Export feature is inactive
    You should always be able to export (which goes to the desktop), regardless. You can use any online printing service: just send your photos to a folder on the desktop then use the online wizard at the printing service to upload them.

  • Iphoto crashes when trying to order prints

    I've been trying to order prints from my brand new imac through photo and every time the program crashes when it says it's uploading..As far as i am concerned it's not uploading. The bar doesn't even show up indicating its progress. I've left it for hours and nothing. Finally, i transferred the photos to my macbook pro and the order processes just fine. Any ideas what the problem is on my imac and how to fix it? Both computers have the newest OS and iphoto.

    I had a client with the same problem today. A call to Apple Support confirmed my suspicions. The problem is the servers are overwhelmed and can't handle the volume. So the graphic of the cute little piece of paper sticking out of the cute little envelope just stays on the screen and iPhoto hangs.
    Hello, Apple. This is a HUGE bug. iPhoto is not fault tolerant and just hangs. The only way out is to force quit.
    So to all who are suffering this issue, don't bother trying to fix it on your end. The problem is on the server side.

  • Maximum number of pictures when ordering prints??

    I ordered prints last night -- from about 225 images. Some 4x6. Some 5x7. Etc. The upload was about 500MB. All was going well - until it got within 10mb of finishing - and showed that it had uploaded 224 of the 225 images. The blue bar was still doing its thing -- and the web connection was still live, which I checked by using Safari, etc.
    So - I left it overnight -- figuring it was finalizing or something like that. I woke up to find the upload in the same exact position. 10MB and one image short of being done.
    Is there a maximum number of photos you can upload to print?

    What is the maixmum number of pictures you can use when ordering a book?
    Depends on the theme you choose - see Liz Castro's page for examples of each theme and all of the layouts available for each theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/
    So if you chose the picture book theme and choose to have 16 photos per page you could have 1600 photos in a book
    On the other hand if you chose the folio theme then you would be limited to 200 photos in a book
    What is the maximum number of pages for each book you can have when ordering through Apple?
    50 sheets of paper - 100 pages

  • Order Prints: Problem Uploading

    I recently ordered a set a prints. After being prompted by aperture that ordering was complete I put my computer to sleep. Since I did not receive a confirmation email or a billing charge, I went back on to aperture to check on my order. The program still says "Uploading Order". When I attempt to place a new order I receive the message "Your prints order is note complete. Your prints are still being sent to the publisher. You cannot place another order until you have been notified that the current order is complete."
    It's been about a week since I placed the order.
    I've also left aperture running for hours to see if it would finish uploading.
    Also, when I attempt to exit aperture, I get the following error message, "Your book order is not complete. The book is still being uploaded. Are you sure you want to cancel the upload?"
    Any help is appreciated.

    What was the answer? I'm hit with this problem now.

  • RGB colors when ordering prints?

    I've been working on a high sports team poster, designed in Photoshop Elements. I hope to get it printed through the iPhoto on-line service.
    The background color was set in PSE by using the RGB values of the school colors. Will this information be used when it is printed? The red looks a bit pale on my inkjet printer sample and I was hoping that higher quality printers could take advantage of the info for more accurate color.

    As long as the image file has the standard RGB color profile, the colors should be reproduced faithfully. I have PSE set to embed the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile whenever saving a jpg file.
    I've not ordered prints from Apple so can't attest to the accuracy of the color. However, if they are way off Apple has been good at making things right.

  • Error when trying to order prints through costco

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 running on Windows 7 64 bit.   When iclick on Create and Order prints from Costco - the window opens but says "We are sorry, it appears you have encountered an error."   Any idea will be appreciated.

    I have the same problem.  I know this was an issue several months ago, but they fixed the problem and it was working fine.  Now, I can't get connected to Costco again.  I really like this feature when it works, so hopefully they will get the issue resolved quickly!
    I take that back!!!  I just tried it again this morning and it is working fine!!  Thank you whoever fixed it!

  • Network error when ordering prints

    I have been trying to order prints of over 1,000 of my photos and they appear to upload just fine and I am able to put in 1 4x6 on all photos. Then, it goes to a grey connecting line, which eventually turns blue. After awhile I get the network error message. I've tried several times over the last week to order the pictures and the same thing happens each time. Is there a limit to how many you can order at once? Do I need to split my order into two separate orders?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You very well may be getting timed out on the upload/order process. I'd try splitting the order in two and see if that will go thru unimpeded.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Can't sign in when ordering prints

    When signing in to order prints it accepts the password but takes me to the screen to add a new account.
    I can successfully log into all other apple programs such as itunes.

    I've tried that and I still can't sign in when trying to install.   Although I can sign in when I go to the adobe website through Firefox without a problem, I'm having issues with Internet Explorer as it shows "can't display this page check that the website is correct", with certain websites eg: facebook, hotmail and my bank, so I don't know if this is an issue with signing in while trying to install.
    Would it have been better to have purchased the disk from a store and installed from that?  If so, how do I get a refund from Adobe for the download purchase?
