Upload freezes when trying to order an iPhoto book

I've seen that many people have had this problem. I'm trying to order a large (not XL) iPhoto book using my 2012 MacBook Pro. After I click "Buy Book" and enter payment information, the assembly goes well, but it freeezes halfway through the upload every time. I can and have made a pdf of the book following Apple's instructions, and everything worked just fine with that. In other forums, the suggestion is to reboot the computer in safe mode. Is this suggestion only for people who couldn't create a pdf of the book? How will this help with the upload?

ErinWyoming, I'm sharing your pain. I've ordered 3 calendars in the past with no problem. Even using this computer and the same network. Currently on a MacBook Air running OSX 10.8.5.
But this order is driving me nuts. I can create the PDF and it assembles with no problem, but gets to either one of 2 points in the upload and basically freezes iPhoto (so freezes quite early on in the upload, or around half way through). I can't cancel the order, or otherwise use iPhoto and the only way to escape is to Force Quit iPhoto.
I've tried ordering in safe mode, I've tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file as instructed elsewhere. I've tried different Apple ID's and different addresses. I've adjusted my energy settings so that the display and computer never go to sleep and my hard disk won't go to sleep. I've tried uploading at different times of the day. I've left it running overnight (just in case I'm not being patient enough). Alas, no order goes through.
I'm not sure what else to try. I'm getting to the end of my tether!! Anyone else got some suggestions?! I'm thinking (God forbid), of constructing the calendar elsewhere at this point .... I'm OVER it!!!!

  • Uploading failed when trying to order a printed book

    I have been trying to order/print a book thru iPhoto.  Everything works fine until the uploading process-- then I get an error message saying that an asset failed to upload and to retry.  I have tried changing security settings as well as addressing the iPhoto plist as was suggested in this site.  Any thoughts?

    does it preview correctly -
    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.
    and providing details helps - what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.9.5 as you state correct? have you tries uploading in Safe Mode - OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support - what is the exact error message?

  • HT5622 What information should I use when asked for "Label" when attempting to order an iphoto book?

    When attempting to purchase an iphoto book, I am unable to.  It tells me that the Label name is already being used.  I've used my name, and don't know what else I am supposed to do.  I don't want to lose the work I did to create the book, but Apple won't allow me to get to Step 3 in my purchase attempt.

  • Iphoto freezes when trying to create cards and books

    the iphoto app freezes every time i try to create a photo book. I am not sure what to do.

    It doesn't sound like you are actually in iPhoto. The way you can tell is, when you are doing whatever it is you do and the computer "freezes", look in the upper left corner right next to the Apple. What does it say?
    It sounds like Safari is the program having issues.
    Try going to the Safari Menu > Reset Safari. Uncheck the options for Remove other auto... and Remove Saved Names...
    See if that helps.

  • IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

    iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

    Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
    I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
    This happens with v3 and v4.
    IE works fine.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

    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.

  • Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7.  now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps.  any solutions?

    10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad.  itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer.  Any suggestions?

    I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
    - Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
    - un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
    - For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
    - run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this)  in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
    - reboot PC
    - Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
    - run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
    - reboot PC
    - run cccleaner
    - reboot PC
    - install itune 10.5
    Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

  • Visual Studio 2013 hangs/freezes when trying to click the designer view

    my Visual Studio 2013 update 1 hangs/freezes when trying to click the designer view, after clicking "Design" I can not click "split" neather "Source". What can I do ? I already tried to set the "HTML (Web Forms) Editor
    " as "Default"... thanks for support.
    In VS2010 the same worked fine.
    I "Run as Administrator".
    ty for help

    Hi,
    I assume that you are not using VS2013 Express version. In order to get the reason about the hang issue, please use devenv /log to gather activity.xm log and find HR error from this log.If it shows some package corrupt, try to repair your VS.
    Here are my general suggestions:
    Please try to run devenv /ResetSettings (in command prompt) to eliminate the related potential settings problem.
    Try disabling Add-ins (e.g. “Tools” | “Add-in Manager”) or run “devenv.exe /SafeMode”.This can eliminate the possibility that third party Add-ins or packages are causing problems. Also you can try these command lines:
    devenv.exe /resetskippkgs and devenv.exe /resetuserdata 
    Try to create a new user account. This can help isolate user profile corruption related causes.
    If the suggestions above are no help, please reinstall your VS.
