Trying to order iPhoto Book using iPhoto 5 - HELP!

Having spent ages creating an iPhoto Book for my loved one for xmas, I couldn't order/purchase it! I have iPhoto version 5 (5.0.4) and message said I needed to upgrade to iLife (cost £69). Then some technician at local Apple Store told me I would also have to upgrade to Leopard in order to run iLife (cost £129) I currently run my iBook G4 on Mac OS X (10.4.11).
This is turning out to be a very expensive gift! Is this the only way to get my Book? I am worried if I purchase these (can't really afford it anyhow) that I will loose the Book I have created (will it still be there?)..also having problems with my laptop anyhow (wont stay charged - have it permanently plugged into electric socket....and memory seems to be an issue also!)
Any advice would be really welcome...I don't really understand what I should do!
Thanks

Thanks TD for this prompt response - which is much appreciated. I am a bit of a novice to say the least...so sorry if this is a silly question. Can I download iPhoto 06 or 08 via the internet or do I have to physically purchase a CD and install myself? Can't find Iphoto to buy on ebay and places like Amazon and Play.com seem to sell iLife software?
What do you think? Thanks

  • I'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning., i'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning.

    I'm trying to do a book using Iphoto, but it no longer gives a low resolution warning like it used to in the older versions.
    I don't know why it doesn't anymore, (or maybe I have to add it on somehow??) but it makes it difficult to know how much I can
    zoom in on a picture and still have it be good printable resolution.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this or add the warning to the latest version of iphoto?
    Thanks

    With iPhoto 9 the low resolution for photos warning has been dropped. The only warning one will get now is for text that has overflowed the text box:
    As Larry suggested send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to get it back. That's a big omission in my opinion.
    You can determine what your minimum resolution is for your images (if all taken from the same camera) by dividing the pixel dimensions by the size of the larges frame in the book which would be 8.5 x 11. If it's at or above 150 dpi you'll be above Apple's previous resolution warning limit.

  • I'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process

    i'm trying to order a book in iphoto. everytime it begins to upload, iphoto shuts down in the middle of the process. Whats the problem?

    Hi TD,
    Yes they do appear in full size and I can edit them. I've just realized that it's not just photos from the Net that are not appearing - it seems to be happening for all photos I've imported into iPhoto after a certain date.
    After spending many more frustrating hours trying to work this out, I found that if I click all of the 'events' which contain the photos I'm after and then create a Book - all these photos appear in the selection window strip. However I still need to work out a proper solution as this still limits me to only those photos in the highlighted 'events' and no new pictures can be added to that particular Book.
    Heeeelp please!

    I would like to make photo books for family and friends, but all I have is an iPad. Will it do the same thing?

    No idea - this is the iPhoto for Mac forum - read the Apple info on iPhoto for the iPad and ask questions in the iPhoto for IOS forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iphoto_for_ios

    No. The iPhoto for iOS can edit photos and share them to social media sites like Facebook. But the app does not have the capability of creating photo books.

    No I didn't even read through your post, to long.
    You said that "No matter what program I try to install, as soon as the installer opens it crashes". Were you talking about the install for this/these 3D programs or ANY program? As it is worded it sounded like ANY program. That tells me there is a problem with your Mac, software or hardware.
    Now you say others install programs, which is it. Programs other then the 3D ones install or no programs install?
    Could simply be your Mac is to old to run these programs and the installer knows that. You never said what model or year Mac it is.

  • 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

  • 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.

    First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

  • Ordering Multiple Seperate Orders of Books in iPhoto

    I have to order multiple books from iphoto with each having a different shipping, billiing address and CC#s. I was wondering if after I make the first purchase, will the pictures be remembered because they're already uploaded to the server? I need to make about 10 orders within a day and the uploading process takes too long for where I'm at.
    Or is there any expedited process that I'm overlooking that could help speed along the orders while still being able to ship individual books to multiple addresses

    No - that is not available
