Unable to order photo book without paid Iphoto upgrade?

I am currently running OSX10.6.8 and Iphoto 6.0.6. I have always been a fan of the Iphoto Photobook feature, and in the last 8 months I have got married and spent 6 months travelling the world, and have 1000's of photos and several phtotobooks to make, but I can't do it running this version of Iphoto. I upgraded about a year and a half ago from Tiger to Snow Leopard, and would have thought that any upgrades that affect a feature working would be free, but it is £14.99 to upgrade, which I am not willing to pay just to be able to order some photobooks (which obviously Apple will be earning from).
Is there anyway I can continue using the photobook feature of Iphoto without having to pay money and upgrade?
Thanks,
Sarah

ID, I was asked to enter Apple ID and Password again and, strange, my question and answers was shown, but I had to enter a new one to go a step further.
And are your answers to the security questions conformig to apple's security rules - at least six characters long? The password complicated enough? See Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account
If your password and security questions are too simple, change them. The Apple Store seems to be rejecting them otherwise.

    Mac OS X does not offer a Clean install option.    If by clean install you mean erasing the system, that is not recommended unless:
    1. You bought a used/refurbished Mac and there is software on it without any accompanying discs, and it is older than July 20, 2011 in model release:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
    Or if it is at or newer, then erase it if it has applications installed that would not have been prebundled with it and you have no CDs for those applications.
    You don't want someone else's software keys, or accounts, or to be running unlicensed software.  At and newer Macs offer a built-in internet restore for their software with a command-R boot that lets you erase the system with Disk Utility, and then install from the internet the latest operating system.
    2. You have a hardware issue and want to eliminate possible software issues as the cause when troubleshooting a problem all at once.
    Issues affecting a new install have to be isolated before you attempt it.   Unless you know it is software or hardware, erasing may only mask other problems.

  • I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto.

    I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto. It has never happened to me before and I have ordered plenty of books in the past few years. Any ideas why the order button is suddenly greyed out?

  • How can i import and order photo books from older iPhoto versions?

    I have made a photobook which i have not ordered at apple yet. It's on another macbook still running iphoto 07 (unable to update iphoto, because to old for Mavericks)... Somehow i can't import this album on my laptop running iphoto 9.5.1 and order it from here...
    Does anyone have solution?

    Read again - the word "import" does not appear in either answeer - you never ever import one iPhoto library into another one
    books do not actually exist - they are simply database entries - so you have to move the entire iphoto library
    1 - rename it on the source machine
    2 - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
    3 -  drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    4 - depress the opeion key and launch iPhoto on the new mac
    5 -  select the library with the book, convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward
    - be sure to
    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.
    there may be differences in the book due to a new system

  • Ordering Photo Book From iphoto

    I am finished developing a photo book using iphoto. However, the book only has 13 pages, and iphoto tells me I cannot order a book without at least 20 pages. My book is two-sided, so if I one-side it, it will be more than 20 pages. I see where there are options for one-sided pages, but I cannot tell how to convert an existing project from two-sided to one-sided. It would be a hassle at this point to go outside iphoto and use an internet vendor. Do you know how to convert 2-sided book to 1-sided?

    Move them in the page thumbnails so the even numbered pages are blank
    And before you order preview your book - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference

  • HT204364 Help on Ordering Photo Book

    I submitted a 62 page photo book for publication and after paying and, thereafter, gathering done, the order seems to get stuck in download at about the 1/2 way mark (according to Apple's completion bar graph; I know not necessarily accurate).  Left it going 2x overnight and still stuck in the morning.  Checked for updates to software.  Turned compueter off and tried again.  My internet speed is good.  I have ordered photo books in past and orders were completed without a problem.  Thoughts?
    By the way, it seems ridiculous that I can't ask Apple these questions for free when I am spending money to purchase products from them (I have three books for holidays lined up).  Is there a way when the problem is a purchase problem and not a computer problem? 

    Here are a some other tricks that helped users get their books ordered. Maybe one will work for you:

    Re: book upload fails
    Nov 30, 2013 3:02 PM (in response to pablo123)
    Just got off the phone with apple support.  If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
    Next:
    Here's a fix that worked for some users:
    Make sure this checkbox is checked in the System/Sharing preference pane:
    If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.
    And lastly:
    Quit iPhoto.
    From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U).
    In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access.
    Find the "NetServices" entry in your Keychain Access window.
    Select the "NetServices" entry and press the delete key.
    Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again.
    You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully.
    After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order.
    Happy Holidays

    I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.  
    "Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
    The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
    What do they mean by published albums?  I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
    I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
    Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
    Confused and frustrated...

    Give this a try:  apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    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 #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

  • Re order photo book

    Can I re-order another Photo book via either iPhoto or Apple.com?
    Someone I showed it to likes it and wants to order another for himself.
    I looked through iPhoto and cannot find the book I created. I'm hoping it's somewhere else.

    For future books I suggest you create a separate library just for the book.  That way you can archive the book via its library for future ordering.
    iPhoto Library Manager  can be used to copy albums of photos from your working library to the book library.

  • Moving a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop

    Any idea how to move a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop in order to do some editing before submitting to apple for purchase? Iphoto on laptop is version 4.0 or 5.0. Desktop version has 8.0.
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    There's only one way to do it.
    iPhoto stores your books etc within the main database file. There is no way to transfer this to another library. You'll need to copy the entire library to bring it to a machine with an internet connection.
    Here's a tip: duplicate the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and open the Copy library. From these, delete any pics not in a book etc - put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it (iPhoto menu -> Empty Trash). That way you'll only bring the minimum you need with you to the machine with the internet connection.
    However, beware - there's no guarantee the the book template you're using in v4 (or v5) is the same - or even available - in v7 (iLife 08)

  • How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

    Are you using Yosemite and not apple's Mail app? Then you may need to set up an app-specific password: See the post below:

    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)

  • Unable to complete photo book order on ipad

    Hi, I hope this is the right place to get some help. Regarding placing an iphoto photo book order on an ipad.
    I have been working on a photo book project for a long time, and want to finally order some copies of the book. Everything has worked fine, except that I get a message that I have some clipped text that may be exceeding its boundaries. I can't figure out where this is, no warning triangles are showing, so I choose to proceed with the order anyway. The next page is black/dark grey with a small icon of the front page of the photo book, and it says "done" ("ferdig" in Norwegian) on top. I can click on some words in blue writing on the top right of the page, "add delivery address" (in Norwegian). When I try to type somehing in there, nothing happens.
    Aaargh, this is so frustrating! I have checked that my address and credit card info is valid, in my apple id-account(itunes).
    Shouldn't there be some uploading of the album? And a choice of how many copies etc I want? I have checked my email and there are no order confirmations, so I apparently havent placed an order yet, despite the "done"/"ferdig" on top of the page.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? What can I do?

    Hey there Nyibyen,
    It sounds like you are unable to purchase a project youve been working on for a good long while, but the order process is not working as expected. I would start by verifying you have Express Checkout enabled in your Account Settings when you are at http://store.apple.com, with this info:
    You can review or edit your express checkout settings by accessing the Account section from the main navigation bar. Sign-in with your Apple ID and password to view your account settings. Click on the Edit button if you wish to edit your shipping address or payment method. You can also enable or disable the express checkout feature for this computer by moving the slider to the respective position.
    From: Express Checkout
              http://store.apple.com/us/help/express_checkout_faq
    If so and your other billing info is correct, quit all the running apps on the iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue is still unresolved, try resetting your network settings and attempting the order again.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings

  • Unsupported Location (Ordering Photo Book in iPhoto iOS)

    Anyone know why I cannot order a photo book through the latest version of iPhoto (v2.0) for iOS on my iPad 3?.  Is the service not live yet?
    When I try to input my address it tells me I am in an Unsupported Location and deliveries cannot be made to this location.  I do not live in a location where deliveries cannot be made, I order regularly from Amazon and get my stuff next day.
    When I click 'Learn More' at the message prompt it tells me that it is not available at the moment.
    I have set the Store location to my country in the options.
    What am I doing wrong?, please help.

  • 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.
