Unable to order prints through iphoto

I am unable to order prints through iphoto. Everytime I try to download and order with 1-click it starts downloading and then says there is a problem with one of my files. Is my order too large (over 500 megabits)? Are certain files to large? Some of my files are in the RAW format or were taken in RAW format. I have tried leaving out photos that have the RAW title showing in iphoto and still no luck. Some of the files, even though noted as jpeg files are 4+megs. Does anyone have an idea on what is going on? I am using the latest iphoto which is 6.04.

I have a similar issue lately. When trying to order 130 4x6 prints the upload process dies after 10-12 photos and there is nothing you can do about it. The retry function does not restart the upload, it just hangs.
When using Activity Monitor to monitor the upload speed (I am on COMCAST cable) I see 45-50kB/s for the first 10 pics and then it dies - goes to 0 - unless you do something else on the computer that touches the network.
No other app is having network or internet connectivity problems.
Part of the problem might be the fact that the ever increasing file sizes are making the uploads slower and slower. Those 130 pics of mine are 230MB+ and thats just from a small 6MP point and shoot Canon camera.
Iphoto realy needs a much more robust upload and reststart logic. Like iTunes that can download songs and video in pieces and restarts as often as you want wherever it left of, iPhoto needs a similar function to deal with larger uploads.
Now the first attempt to fix the issue is to go break the order into 10 individual orders - only problem: Instead of paid 9.99 for express shipping you pay a total of 99.90 for shipping as every order has an individual shipping charge.
Any ideas for a work around?

How can I order prints through iPhoto on my iPad?

How can I order prints through iPhoto on my iPad 2?

That's not an option on the iPhoto app on iPad.

Unable to order prints on iPhoto

I had been using my old Mac for years to order prints from iPhoto with no problems. Late last year, I upgraded my Mac to a 24" iMac with the newest version of iPhoto. Since I've had this machine, I've had trouble ordering prints. It usually gets partway through the process and then just hangs up. I've called tech support a few times, and they even referred this problem to Apple engineering since apparently a number of people have had this problem. Even after I followed the instructions to try to correct the problem from Apple's engineering group, it still doesn't work. This is one of the main things we use the computer for and we're very disappointed.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Are there any other photo services that are cost effective and link directly to iPhoto?

Unable to order prints in iPhoto

I have attempted to order prints numerous times in iPhoto without success. I have resized the photos, ordered the number of each and clicked "buy". However once I click "buy" a gray pinwheel just circles over the "buy" as if its processing but never actually processes- it does this until I click "cancel".
Things I've done thus far:
*Made sure my billing and shipping address are the same and current
*Made sure Express checkout was selected with correct credit card security code in place
*Quit iPhoto after each change
*Restarted Mac after each change and just because
*Checked my Keychain for any errors/problems- none found
*Made sure iPhoto was the latest version- no updates found at this time
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Ordering prints through iphoto

How do I "enable" my order prints button - my "order book" button has a "+" sign and works but my order prints has no "+" and does not work.

No - the easiest way is to make an album of the photos you want to order and when you have them all collected select all of the photos in that album and order

Unable to order prints from iPhoto online

After I download photos from my camera to iPhoto and attempt to upload to Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Costco, etc., I receive an error indicating that the resolution is too low. I've recently converted over to the mac from PC and didn't have this problem before. Does iPhoto reduce the resolution when it brings the photos over from the digital camera? If so, how did I fix this? Any thoughts would be appreciated?

It sounds like you are uploading the thumbnails from the Data folder. It is recommended that you don't manipulate photos in the iPhoto Library folder via the Finder, as you can damage your library.
In iPhoto select all the photos you want. Then do File>Export>File Export at full size to a folder on your desktop. These will be the full-sized files and will use the edited version of any photos you have edited. Use the desktop files when uploading to the developer. You can delete these when you've finished, since they are copies.

Unable to order prints anymore... weird iPhoto error

Hey there,
I'm unable to order prints from iPhoto anymore, it started before the 8.1.1 update. When I start to upload photos to the Kodak server, after 2Mo is transmitted it bugs. In the console I have the following mysterious error :
25/11/09 23:11:00 iPhoto[6419] PUT /Documents/49519329/image_0.jpg (FAILED), httpStatusCode:402, errorType:100, transactionState:5, txnId:A749349E-5655-4459-8EC0-E92E465EC788, auto-retries=0, manual-retries=0
25/11/09 23:11:00 iPhoto[6419] ISCoordinator responseFromUploadFiles: error...
MessengerContext = <ISNewMessengerContext: 0x199b9fa0>;
Retry = YES;
Status = ERROR;
StatusCode = 402;
}

I wondered, reading the output from the Error you posted, if it was having trouble finding particular photos:
/Documents/49519329/image_0.jpg (FAILED)
How are you uploading to the Kodak Server? With an app, a plugin to iPhoto, some other way?

Order prints from iPhoto 7.0.1

I've tried several times over several days to order prints from iPhoto 7.0.1. I get to step 3 in setting up an account and I get an "unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later."
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Apple has been having problems with some of their servers recently and that might be the reason you're having trouble.
Try reentering all of your account information and reset the 1-click ordering. That may help jump start the process.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Proofing Profile if ordering prints through Aperture

So if I order prints through Aperture and have them shipped to me, which proofing profile should I be using to get a better idea of what to expect?
Thanks!

Jamie,
I asked Apple this exact same question regarding Aperture's book service. Their response was that Apple does not have a profile available for books. I'd be surprised if they had one for prints.
Cheers,
Andreas

Trouble ordering prints in iPhoto

After several attempts to order prints, the upload to Apple process gets stuck partway through. Time doesn't help. I've left it overnight, only to find it still stuck in the morning.

Thanks for your efforts. I tried the safe-mode boot. That didn't help with the iPhoto issue, although I'm hopeful that it will clear up some other hinky things going on of late. No matter what, it's great information to have!
~ I described it incorrectly in my original message. I should have said it gets stuck in the "assembly" process. It never actually makes it to the "upload" stage.

Can you order prints thought iPhoto '11 and pay with iTunes credit?

I'd like to know if you can pay for photo prints through the "Order Prints" service in iPhoto with iTunes credit.

Maybe - in the past you could not - give it a try and post back with the results.

Problem with ordering prints off iPhoto

Previously I had been able to order prints directly from iPhoto. When I tried today I kept getting the message "review account info", which I did. Billing, shipping, cc info is all correct. When I submit the order I just keep receiving the same message. I am currently using iPhoto 08 - 7.1.5. Is this outdated already?

No iPhoto '08 is not outdated - go to your account in the Apple store and re-enter (do not just verify) all of the information and try again

Ordering Prints via Iphoto

I am absolutely loving my new Imac. I have saved for over a year to get it and just now getting used to Iphoto. I noticed that it gives you the option to create photo books and to order prints of photos.
I see how to select photos to order prints of and I see how to select the sizes of the prints. Is there a way to preview how the photo will look when printed? The reason why I ask is that programs usually crop for 8x10 prints versus 4x6 etc. Is there a way for me to see how it will be cropped?
Also, I don't see that 11x14's are not a size option?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Is there a way to preview how the photo will look when printed?
No. But crop your photos to the same size ratio as the prints you're ordering or it will be done automatically and you may lose some parts that you don't won't to lose.

Ordering Prints with iPhoto 9 (iLife '11)

Can anyone tell me if the version of iPhoto (9) included with iLife '11 still supports ordering prints? Thanks for your help. Best regards, Dan

Yes. But I would update the version installed by the iLife 11 disk to the latest version of iPhoto 11 which is 9.4.3 for running your library. A number of fixes and changes were made between 9.0 and 9.4.3.

A3 UNABLE TO ORDER PRINTS

I note from my earlier questions that NONE of the problems experienced with A3/10.6.3 etc have been resolved by Apple. I contacted Apple by phone and a very nice chap tells me they are looking at it. After the third time he told me I don't believe him any more.
The latest issue I have with this dreadful programme is that when I try to order prints I always get a new account pop up and when I go through any kind of process with it it freezes and I have to force quit via Finder.
I can't find any similar issue although I may be looking in the wrong place.
Any gurus out there have any ideas? Help appreciated as always.

Hi, I eventually solved it using this reply to another thread. HTH. I found it myself.

Latest problem I have now is my Macbook is suffering from invalid node structure and is now dead. Fortunately still under warranty. I'm losing faith with Apple big style. Now they are bigger than Microsoft they seem to be getting the same attitude.
