Trouble ordering book in iphoto 08

Hi Please help. I set up the entire photo album. When i click buy book, this window appears.. "Incomplete book. 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 buy this book." I went through entire book 2x and reset the layouts. I can't find a frame without a photo. Did this ever happen to anyone else?

This is what Larry is referring to:
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Trouble ordering Book on iPhoto

Hi,
I created a picture book on iPhoto and pushed "Buy Book" to no avail...repeated attempts - all the same.
What am I doing wrong?

another wild guess - renew your iPhoto preference - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

Some additional efforts you can try:
Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.

IPhoto books in iPhoto - The new Photos program only has square photo books. Will I be able to edit/order books with iPhoto after I upgrade to Photos?

I have many photo books created in iPhoto. These are rectangular shaped. The new Photos program only has square shaped books. After I upgrade to Photos, will I still be able to order books using iPhoto? Or, will Photos allow me to edit books in their original rectangle shape, and order them?

The new Photos.app will have the classic rectangular sizes as well.
See the Preview.
Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
It only mentions the new square format, but the classic layouts are there as well, as the picture shows.
But you may not be able to migrate the old book projects. Finish any current book project while still using iPhoto '11 and create new projects in Photos.

Thanks really need an answer soon.. the book is for christmas giift.. thanks again

This can happen quite often, i don't think it is any of your hardware or cables that is affecting this. From my experience, i occured the same problem so i just thought i'd leave it because i wasn't to bothered anyway. But then weeks later i thought i'd give it a go and it worked fine and i recieved my album a week later.
It should work if you just 'forget about it' for a little while. I don't not believe there is a specific answer to why this occurs.

News for Users having trouble ordering books

I was having trouble like many others ordering books during the last 2 weeks. I was also concerned about pending charges on my bank account. I received a very detailed explanation and helpful suggestions today form Apple Support. I am posting this in hopes that it helps others and ends all the frustration.
My name is Patrick and I'll be assisting you.
I understand that you're having an issue placing a book order. I also understand that there were charges on your credit card statement that were eventually dropped.
I reviewed the orders you submitted for the book titled "Honeymoon" and found that the file could not be opened. That is why your orders haven't processed completely. The size of the book shouldn't be an issue, so you don't need to change anything in it. Please keep submitting the order until you're successful. You may want to try during non peak hours so there'll be less traffic on your ISP's network.
As for the multiple charges, when you make a purchase using iPhoto, Apple sends an authorization request to your credit card company for the approximate amount of the purchase. This is to verify that your account has sufficient credit to cover the amount of sale. It is a temporary authorization hold, not an actual charge. Most credit card companies remove authorization holds within 48 hours.
Please note that even an unsuccessful attempt to purchase an item may cause an authorization hold, depending upon how much of the transaction was completed, and multiple attempts can cause multiple authorization holds.
If you have any questions about whether an amount found on your online statement is an authorization request or a charge, or when the authorization hold will be removed from your account, please contact your credit card company or financial institution.
To view your purchase history, visit http://www.apple.com/internetservices/yourorderstatus and sign in using your Apple ID and password.
I hope this clears things up for you. Please accept my apologies for any frustration this has caused you. I want your experience with us to be the best possible. Have a pleasant day.

It's really hard to say without seeing the form, and ideally being at the machine that it doesn't work with. I'd be happy to take a look at the form if you're free to send it to me: acroscript at gmail dot com

Problems with ordering Books from iPhoto '09

I tried ordering 2 books from iPhoto ’09 (version 8.1.2 (424) - this is the iPhoto that I have) yesterday, and I got this message: "Please check your network connection and try again"... so I checked my network connection and it was fine. I tried again summiting the order and the same message appeared again
I checked all the photos and everything look fine. So, I tried to summit the order again. The same message appeared. I stopped trying sending it again.
After, I checked my emails and saw that I got charged 3 times for the books! I never got an email from apple with a confirmation number for the order(s) nor nothing! I tried looking for a number or email that I can send them about my problem but I can’t anything.
Please Help! I have a deadline to meet.
How can I know if at least one order went through and how can I stop two of the charges?

To check orders go to your account in the apple store and check order status

Ordering Books with iPhoto 1.1.1

I just spent all afternoon creating my first book with iPhoto - the reversion that came with my original white iBook. Now it seems I can't order a printed book with this version - MyPublisher.com only works with iPhoto 5 or higher and I can't upgrade to v5.
Is there anyway to get a book out of my hard work? Or do I need to buy iLife and try to run it on my incredibly slow machine?

You can upgrade to iPhoto 2 for free here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120188
once installed Software Update in System Preferences will offer the last update iPhoto 2.0.1
iPhoto 2 will save your organization and upgrade the library
My publisher also requires OSX 10.4

I ordered books from iPhoto and made a mistake only on the outside cover. Is there a way to order just the paper covers with the correction?

I ordered books from iphot and made a mistake only on the outside cover. Can I order only the outside covers?

No
Using the preview of the book you can save a PDF and a local printer probably can print one for you

Unable to order book in iPhoto iOS

Hi,
I have created a book in iOS iPhoto but can not seem to place the order. Basically after adding the address (which matches the country selected in the iPhoto Store, i.e., Spain) it begins processing and after asking to sign in to my iTunes account (which is for Portugal) I get the message saying that the account does not have sufficient info to complete the request, and tells me to update it going to settings>Store and update account info.
PLease help. Is this a conflict due to the fact thar the iPhoto store location is Spain but my Apple ID is Portuguese? If this is the case do I need to create a Spanish ID account in order to place the order?
Thanks

If this is the case do I need to create a Spanish ID account in order to place the order?
The country of your AppleID with the billing address and the country of the Print Products store must match. The credit card used with the AppleID must also be valid in the country of the Print Products store.

Ordering books through iPhoto.

I am using iPhoto 11 (version 9.4.3).
After I complete my book project, when I want to place the order all I get is the German site. How can I change this setting to be able to order from a North American address?

The Store you are ordering from is set in the iPhoto Preferences - see the "Preferences > Advanced" tab and select the "Print Products Store". Set It to the US Store.
Regards

Your AppleID must be valid in the Country of the Print Product Store, and your billing address must be in that country.

Problem order book via iPhoto- files not found or corrupt

every year my wife builds a book of photos and orders it via Apple. Since last year we've upgraded to Yosemite and updated iPhoto.
shes spent hours and the book looks good- every time she clicks buy book it says a different photo either cannot be located or is corrupt!
any ideas?! She's devestated!

Would trying to repair permissions for the photos help?
It will help, if it is a permissions problem, but there may be other problems.
We need to know, if the photos are missing or corrupted, or cannot be accessed because of permission errors.
Do you have a backup of the iPhoto library? If not, backup the Mac before proceeding.
To repair and rebuild open the iPhoto library with the First Aid tools:
Launch into the First Aid Tools by holding down the key combination option-command ⌥⌘ and double clicking the iPhoto Library icon to launch iPhoto on this library.
Keep the two buttons firmly held down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel.
Then select "Repair database".
If that does not fix it, try the other First Aid options as well. First repair Permissions, then rebuild.
