Transferring a photo book from Iphoto 7 to Iphoto 11.

I have an older MacBook that has iPhoto 7. It is old enough that I can't upgrade it. I made a 96 page photo book on it, and then realized I could no longer order the book because of the old operating system.
So I bought a brand new MacBook Pro with mavericks OS and iPhoto 11. I have been able to transfer my photos from my old macbook to my new macbook pro using an external hard drive (using the drag and drop method). However I cannot get my photo books to transfer!!! When I export them from iPhoto 7, they save on my external hard drive as a .mov file, which then turns it into a movie that is played on Quick Time. I put a ton of time into this book, as well as all of the others I have made, and I need help with transferring them over to my new computer. There has to be a way to get them transfer over so I don't hae to make it all over!!
Thanks in advance for the help!

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine: There is no exporting or importing involved. What is the "drag and drop method"?
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

How do I open the square photo books from iPad in iPhoto Mac ?

I began creating a square photo book on iPad (iOS7) and decided that I would create the book on my Macbook instead (Mavericks) - so I could access my full photo library. However I can only see rectangular photo book templates on the Mac.
Questions:
- Is it user error or are the templates totally different on Mac and on IOS?
- Is there any way to transfer a square photo book project from iPad to Mac via iTunes or iCloud?
Thanks :-)

Just about the only thing iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS share is a name.
So, no, it's not user error, the templates are different
and
No, there's no way to transfer any book project.

I have just ordered a photo book from iPhoto but after it generates nothing happens, has it sent? Do I not get an email confirmation?

I solved the problem. Had nothing to do with Mac or iphoto. Problem must be my the internet connection to my provider.
Upload at my office worked without any problem. One problem solved, now i am aware with a lot of discussions with my providers helpdesk ;-)

Alternative to Photo books from iPhoto?

Hello, I'm very enthusiastic about printed photo book idea, but some iLife features, including Photo Books from iPhoto, are unavailable for my country. I'd be glad if you suggested any other online services which could ship to Europe, Lithuania.
Thank you in advance .

My Publisher. com. A great site and they also have a mac plugin to work right from within I-Photo. Or their new software is for mac now as well. Tons of designs including leather bound. And they always send coupons for 40-50 % off. Great quality. I have also finished An Asuka book, but that is for professional Photographers only.

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.

My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
Any ideas ?
I've got Mountain Lion running.
I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

can you preview 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.
If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again

Ordering Photo Books in Australia with iPhoto 5

We've just spend ages building a photo book using iPhoto 5.0.4 in Australia. We couldn't actually place the order though. After a call to Apple support in Australia, we have discovered that you can only order a photo book from iPhoto in Australia using iPhoto 6 & upwards...

The Apple Australia web site says you can:
http://www.apple.com/au/ilife/iphoto/print-products.html
I'd suggest you ask for further assistance in the iPhoto forum. This forum is for old, pre-G3 Apple hardware and hence not the place where you'll be most likely to get useful advice.
Regards.

I've made a photo book, but ordering this iPhoto crashes and I have to reopen the program; done this several times and each time uploading the 3rd page (of 86) it crashes again. My software is up to date (9.2.1), so that is not the problem.

Try boot into Safe Mode and try again.

When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
1360 x 1360 = 1.0
790 x 640 = 1.23
2048 x 1366 = 1.5
An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing. The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

Why cant I drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore

Hi, I'm not very techy, in the last few days I seem unable to drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore, always been able to before, any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

It's only a workaround till you find a solution. This problem is not affecting everyone so it's associated with one's particular setup.
Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there. Next boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command+R keys held down, and run Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair the disk. If that doesn't help boot again in the Recovery volume and reinstall the system.

Move photos albums from Picassa to Iphoto

Hello,
Does somebody have a solution to move or transfer photo albums from Picassa to Iphoto?
Of course with as much as possible maintaining the titles, descriptions etc given in Picassa. Thanks for help.
Roland Demey

Is this Picasa the app or Picasa the Web Service?
You'll need to export from whichever. What metadata gets written to the files will be a setting on Picasa. If they are written to standards like Exif or IPTC then they will be picked up by iPhoto.
Testing on one or two first might be an idea.
Regards

How can i create a photo book from 2 libraries easily?

This is my situation.
I want to create a photo album of my child for the past year for parents/grandparents etc from the photos on mine AND my wifes macbooks. Before iphoto 9.5 i would simply look at her shared library from my iPhoto and use hers and my photos to make a book.
Now there is no shared library in 9.5, so after doing my homework on how apple wants us to do this now, I started a shared iCloud photostream ('kid' 2013) and invited my wife to it. I started adding photos from my library, and she did the same. All good i thought, but no. Becasue the photo stream only sorts by 'date added' not date taken, and in fact I cannot even see the date the photo was taken in the photostream, it means making a chronological photo book from both our photo libraries has now been made impossible.
Anybody got any other ways to do this?

Create an album, and then select all photos in the Shared Photo Sream and add them to the album. In the album you can see the dates of the photos in the Info panel. Then sort your album by date, and create the Photo Book from the album, not directly from the shared stream.
