Trying to Buy Book in Aperture

Have prepared a book of photos of my son for his 10th birthday. Have pressed Buy Book and entered data for account etc., but system refuses to recognise my primary address. Additional frustrations are:
- When I enter an alternative address in the UK, I get asked to Try Later.
- We have relations in another European country and the system won't allow me to select a country other than the UK.
This is not a happy situation having spent quite some time putting this book together - would really appreciate any thoughts on the subject.
Thanks.

I've got the same issue.
I worked several hours on my wedding book and I can't buy it

Trying to buy book through iPhoto and button greyed out

trying to "buy book" after creating a photo album in iPhoto, the button to buy book is greyed out?

will the book preview? - iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it
do you have the correct print products store set in the iPhoto preferences? What version of iPhoto and of the OS?

I am trying to buy an app (Aperture). I don't see a "buy" icon in the app store. If I go to Apple site, there is a buy icon but when I click it, I get a dialogue box saying the link needs to be opened with an application. Please help. Thanks.

Hi ...
Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then try purchasing Aperture.

IPhoto project will not upload even in safe mode when trying to buy book, any suggestions on how to complete the "BUY BOOK" process. Christmas gift, really need to get this done, have worked MANY hours on putting it together. Please help!

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
After each run thru the repair process see if you can create a PDF file of the book as described in this Apple Document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If you can try ordering the book. If you can't finish trying all of the otpions and then boot into Safe mode and try there.

Cannot buy book from aperture

Cannot create account when trying to buy an Aperture book.

Same issue ordering photo prints with error message
- Please try again later -
Solved as follows:
1. reset password (appleid.apple.com) according to Apple standards (i.e. they will let you know)
2. security question answers had to 6 characters or longer (oddly without saying so Apple...?)
Thats it. I really hate when things like this happens, you spend hours on blog sites when, really, I should be doing, well, something else..)

Trying to buy book. iPhoto says I have not filled some of the frames but I have.

I have finished my book and I am trying to buy. A notice is coming up that says some of the frames are empty and will have to be filled.
I have a picture in every frame so what could be wrong?

Lindsay,
A notice is coming up that says some of the frames are empty and will have to be filled.
You may have used default pictures, for example a picture background. And you will not see the missing background, if your photo is full page. See LarryHN'S post here:
Re: I am attempting to buy a photo book but it says that I have not filled the photo frames which I have.?? How to circumvent and buy this book? (This is my fifth book and first time with problems.
Also, some of the Themes have captions below the photos. Have you edited all captions? Some of them may still be showing the default entries by Apple.
Compare the Preview of the book with what you are seeing in the Browser, and check for missing photos.
iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it

Trying to "buy book" in Iphoto...getting error message

I am trying to buy an Iphoto book that I have created and I am getting the following error message:
+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 have created and successfully purchased quite a few different books in the past, without a hitch. I have gone through each page and can not find the problem, has anyone else seen this before?? Or perhaps is there somewhere that will tell me what page(s) the problem could be on?
Thank you

kmth
welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
yes - other have seen this - about 1 out of 5 of the posts in the photo services forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1197 - relate to this and the answer is very simple - you have a missing photo - the most likely place is on a photo background page -the pages with a gray background or with a gray palm tree - and it can be hidden behind a full page photo - see my write up here for a longer description on how to solve this

Iphoto crashes while trying to buy book

I've bought quite a few books without any problem, but now everything works fine until I click buy book, it will start assembling the book, its finshing that part...pauses for a second and then crashes.
I've tried repairing disk permissions, trashing the pref files, etc.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Jeff

Look, like I said, I'm the ultimate apple fan, and I realize your most likely a paid apple troller who's income is based on toning down known apple software issues, and that is fine.
But you mentioned "There are millions of iPhoto users that are not having this problem". So is that 1 million, 10 million, 500 million(that's half a billion pal). So I think my very modest claim of many many thousands is quite modest to your mention of "millions" which could be anywhere from 1 million to almost 1 billion.
I've already reinstalled iPhoto from the disk it came on and done x, y and z. As much as I LOVE my Iphone, I've just noticed a serious lag in apples response to very very basic problems for the rest of the Mac platform, IE system performance, Ilife Apps not running properly, and on and on(many users that can't use Ichat, burn DVD's with IDVD, Imovie Issues and on and on). If tomorrow you purchased a 2008 Subaru Outback, and the horn, radio and transmission don't work, and Subaru tells you that "there are millions of other Subaru owners not having this problem" I don't think this is a valid response.
Like I said, I've been an avid mac user for 2 decades. I've for the first time noticed the apple fan base becoming disgruntled because of their basic Ilife Apps aren't functioning properly.
Here are some stats that I find completely unacceptable from apple whos says "they just work":
I have 4 macs: 1 G5 Dual 2 GHZ PowerPC G5, one powerbook G4, one Imac G5 Intel 24" and one Imac G5 Intel 20". I also own one Ipod shuffle, one Iphone, 2 appletv's and various other Ipod models.
Here is a breakdown of MY Apple computers, my girlfriends laptop, and 6 of my other friends various apple computers:
• My 4 Macs: 2 of the 4 can't burn DVD's in IDVD due to a "multiplexing Error"
• 1 of the 4's Iphoto can't publish any books
• 3 of the 4 macs Ichat hasnt worked since Ichat AV came out(they get this error: iChat.app" to accept incoming network connections
My friends Macs issues:
• One friend who I talked into purchasing the new Imac 24" intel machine, the first thing I wanted to show her was video chatting via Ichat with our friend from another state. This is from a BRAND NEW just unboxed machine from apple.com. We fired it up, started Ichat, then went to start a chat with our out of state friend. Guess what? for over an hour we kept getting "The user did not respond" error when if fact the user did not respond. The I went to show her how cool Itunes was and she wanted to burn a music CD to play in the car on the way to work the next day, but alas we got this error: Error 4280 when trying to burn a cd. I think that is unacceptable from a BRAND NEW MACHINE purchased from apple.com.
• 2 of my other friends macs that were purchased in December of 2007 for the sole purpose of web browsing, email and making DVD's with IDVD can no longer make DVD's due to the "multiplexing error" they get when they try it. Both have taken their Imacs to the Apple Store without any fixes.
I love my apple products as much as anyone, but with these types of problems happening on BRAND NEW MACHINES OUT OF THE BOX I can no longer recommend them to friends and family, if they are going to spend good money and have poor performance they might as well be running Vista....

Trying to Buy Book is driving me mad...

Using iLife 8 . Book all complete, photos all checked and placed. 20 pages crammed with photos, text where it should be, no alerts . Then push Buy Book and a box comes up saying :
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.
er...been through to try to fix problem , but nothing seems to be wrong. All photos have checks on them in top gallery t/nails. Previously published using iLife 06 it was easy with no problems. Should I go back to that program? Thanks.

I actually think it must be a bug - I think that somehow when you add a page and change the layout to a full page phoito iPhoto sneaks the photo page backgound in on you - I have not been able to prove it but I just do not believe that I did the photo background behind several full page photos while I was assembling my book - but they were there and I have to go through all 66 pages to find them
I do suggest sending Apple a note -- iphoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback requesting better iPhoto assistance on finding missing photos - like a list of page numbers with photos missing or warning symbols on pages with missing photos or something - *this is a job for computers not humans!*

BUY BOOK FROM APERTURE 2.0.1

I upgraded to Aperture 2.0.1 and I try again to buy a book. It is about 30 pages. 1-Click enabled and credit card checked - OK - Now the activity ic frozen at 0%. (sending data to server)
I have read somebody was able to get the book in about 40 minutes. I will wait.
But this is not the kind of service we should expect from Apple....
I was few days ago at a conferenca about Aperture and other Software in Milan Italy (Pro Series - Joined-up-thinking) and nobody of the Apple staff was aware of this problem.
Thern I got the patch online to upgrade Aperture to 2.0.1 and I thought it was the solution, but probably not jet.
Is it really so difficoult ???

I reply to miself to inform other friends. It worked.
About 40 minutes after start of uploading the book to the Apple server Aperture informed that the book was fully received. Few minutes later I received the Mail with the order confirmation.
During this time the Activity report was alwais stopped at 0% until complete upload while it went suddenly to 100%.
OK now we know it works.

Trying to buy book. Hit buy, enter Apple ID and password. Note says this email is not available. What to do?

I Am simply trying to download an audiobook. I have done this many times with books and music. I had forgotten my password so I reset that. I click on the book, click buy, enter Apple ID and new password. A pop up tells me I have not verified my account so I click OK to do this. Message comes up that says "this email is not available". What to do to buy this book?

Delete them from your library including files, the go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

Iphoto is unexpectedly shutting down when trying to buy book

after i have arranged all my pictures and have made my payment order, the book begins to be "arranged" and my iphoto programs shuts down??? not sure if i have a memory problem, an iphoto problem, a connection problem with apple???

I am having trouble buying book on Aperture 3

It asks me to create a new account even though I have a valid apple account. Then I re-create account and it gets stuck on the shipping page. Asks me to "try later". I am in Europe but using a US apple account and shipping to US. Really need to print today as it's for anniversary gift- thanks for your help!

I just disabled my mobile me accounts in Aperture and I was able to order and ship normally.

I'm trying to buy a book for two days by now. I tried in normal mode and in secure / safe mode - whenever I press the purchase-button nothing is going on! mac is ok, osx is ok, iPhoto is ok!

Thomas,
There are many similar reports since yesterday. The Apple Print Services seem to be down, see:
Re: Trying to buy book I created. When I hit "checkout" nothing happens. It's not like Apple to not want to make more money. Any ideas?
Try again later.
