Trouble buying a Iphoto book that I created

What does this mean when I try to buy my photo book, I get a dialogue box that says
"Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book."
However, I checked all of my pages and frames and they all have photos as required.

I took your detailed advice.  I check every full page photo, noting the backgrounds on those pages.  If there was a grey background, I changed it to a colored background.  And if I found a full page photo on top of a full page photo background, I changed those backgrounds to colored ones.
Still get the error message from Apple when I try to buy my book.  Help!!!  Very frustrating

  • I am having trouble uploading am iPhoto book that I created.  It keeps concluding the upload by saying there has been an error and would I like to retry it or cancel.  After four "retrys" , I'm in need of some advise.

    I need some help probem solving as to why my I photo book won't upload to be printed by Apple.  It keeps saying there is an error at the very end of the upload and asks me if I want to retry or cancel.  Considering the hours spent creating the book and the fact that I can't transfer it to a different file, I seem to be stuck.  Ideas? 

    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?   Is the print products country in the advanced iPhoto preferences set correctly ?
    Have you previewed the book?  http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2486

  • TS1140 I am having issues with an iPhoto book that I created.  When I try to purchase it, it fails to load for payment, yet I don't see any error messages in the book itself?  Help!

    I can't seem to get my photos for an iphoto book to load.  It will assemble the pictures, but at the last step, it never progresses with loading the photos - I always get an error message.

    how doe the preview work?
    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.

  • How can I turn my French apple account into Australian one to be able to buy a Iphoto book I've made?

    hi
    How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?

    And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.

  • Problems buying an iPhoto book!

    Hi
    I've made an iphoto book that I really like. I've spent tons of time making it and I finally tried to buy it. The upload went through without a problem and I got a confirmation and everything. The problems is that after two days I got an e-mail saying that "the file Apple received contains shifted and discolored images". They recommended making a preview of the book befores buying it, and I have done that and in the preview some of the pictures come out all wrong with wrong colours and disfigured images.
    Can anybody help me? How can I fix this so that the pictures on my book look normal??
    I really, really want to buy this photo album, so I hope someone can help me!

    I want to order a second copy of an existing iPhoto book. Though created in the smaller format now only the larger format is showing. How can I switch an existing iPhoto book back to the smaller format?

    To change a book size duplicate it (select the book in the source pane and press command and D) since text flow and picture  placements can change due to the size differences - then click on change themes, select the same theme and the new size
    check it carefully

    Is it possible to make an iphoto book that has mostly text on some of the pages?  I would like to make a book that has more text than photos on some pages.

    Of course (at least in some themes - travel for sure) - have you looked at the available layouts?

  • Cover on iphoto book I am creating

    I have OSX  10.9.5
    I am creating my first iphoto book.  I have having trouble on the cover.  Is it possible to have a plain cover with no photo printed on it?

    Just to illustrate what LarryHN recommended -  if you create a picture with a uniform background by taking a screenshot or drawing a nuform rectangle in Preview, you can drop that picture onto the title page of your book. Use the Picture Book theme or any other theme that has full page title photos.
    For example, I made a screenshot of a black rectangle and used it as the title photo with  the Picture Book theme:

  • DO NOT BUY AN IPHOTO BOOK!!!!!!!

    I have been going at it with Apple now for over a month! I ordered a book and it came back with blank pages and with photos not scaled properly. (This was my second iPhoto book. The first one also had several minor printing flaws which we overlooked) I sent three emails via the iPhoto support page and received no replies. Apple promises a response within 48 hrs. Then some two weeks later they had the nerve to send me a survey thanking me for using the web support function and please rate "how we did!" You can only imagine how I responded. I next tried contacted a live person at Apple Care to help me out. I provided them my order number. They indicated that was not a valid order number. Turns out that Apple Care cannot track orders made through iPhoto! No one at Apple Care was even familiar with what an iPhoto book was. I then called Apple corporate hq's and spoke to a "customer care" rep. She assured me I would be contacted within 48 hrs (sound familiar) and my problem would be resolved. I heard nothing for over a week. Calls back to Ms. Graser of customer care were met by voice mail. Finally this week I received a canned response back from Apple. They noted that they would credit the charge back to my card. They also asked if I were interested in reordering my book and if so they would "assist" me. I replied that I was interested in trying to reorder the book. So what does Apple do? Without any further contact to find out why the book came back incomplete (such as a corrupt file or incomlete file transfer), they reprinted the same screwed up book and recharged my credit card for the full amount (including $15 for express shipping)!
    BUYER BEWARE! Apple provides no support or quality control for this product. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Heidi,
    Welcome to the forums, and I'm sorry about your book. I too have ordered a book very recently and also found several photos to be on the dark side, and several too red as well.
    But I believe that there's a "but" here.
    I don't know your professional background -- I work in the print industry (I design pages) and I know how hard it is to get the color correction on images just right, EVEN if your monitor is calibrated and your particular version of image processing software is optimized for use with your specific output device. And that's when a professional is behind the wheel, which I am not.
    My iMac's monitor is not calibrated, I am not trained to make images look their best for reproduction, and I am using a consumer-level application. With a little bit of research on these forums (which you have done), anyone can find out that the reviews on the iPhoto books' quality are mixed... At the very least you'll know you're taking a calculated risk -- as you said yourself.
    I would consider myself a picky customer, but I am not disappointed with the quality of these books, especially considering the price, and knowing how difficult and unpredictable color correction can be. If you have some photos that are good (even if it is only 25 out of 142), then I would suspect the problem is with the "pre-pressing" of these images, not the printing. If the printing was to blame, they would ALL be bad.
    That said, I am still sorry about your negative experience. We anticipate these books to be great, and it's a bummer when they aren't.
    Full disclosure: I am in fact asking for a refund as well on my recent book, and I too don't like the fact that there is no phone support for iPhoto orders. I sent my e-mail 24 hours ago, so it hasn't been 48 hours yet. The reason I am asking for a refund is not due to print quality (I think I am responsible for the color/darkness thing), but because my $57 softcover 8.5x11 book arrived in a flimsy envelope and got bent during shipping. The (cheaper) calendars I ordered the same day arrived in sturdy boxes, so the logic behind that escapes me.
    Anyway. For the future, if you've got a project you really care about, I'd recommend spending a little extra and ordering a "test book" with the minimum amount of pages, using only your most challenging photos, so you'll know how to tweak them for the final book. If it matters that much, the extra money will be well-spent, and in the end, the price/quality factor of these one-of-a-kind books will still be more than acceptable.
    Just my thoughts.

  • Can I make an iPhoto book that is only 10 pages long?

    I want to make a hardcover iPhoto book, but only have 15 photos to go into the book, so 20 pages is too many pages. Can anyone advise? Does iPhoto let you make a book that is less than 20 pages or do you have to fill that whole 20 pages in order to make the book? Thx

    You don't have to fill those extra pages. Pick a blank page layout but not the all gray layout. That requires a photo for the background and you can't order the book unless it's been filled with a photo. Most of the themes have a layout that is essentially blank. Some, however, have the theme's colors which might not look good as a filler page.
    If you have such a theme you can select a page with a photo background and use a blank, white image file to make that page a blank, white page or whatever you would like on the page. Create the page, landscape, in a text editor or other applications and use the Print->PDF->Save PDF to iPhoto menu option. This will create a jpg image file of that page and it's layout and import it into iPhoto where you can add it to the book.

  • Trouble buying/installing iPhoto 11

    I am having trouble upgrading from iPhoto 08 to iPhoto 11. I just upgraded to OS X Lion and decided to update iPhoto too. But when I try to purchase iPhoto 11 from the app store, it tells me that iPhoto 7.1.5. was already installed and was not purchased from the app store, do i want to buy iPhoto 9.2.3?  Then, when I try to purchase iPhoto 11, absolutely nothing happens. My app store purchase record does indicate that I've purchased iPhoto 11, but, again, when I click on install nothing happens. The only iPhoto on my computer is the old one. Advice?
