Why "Incomplete Book" warning when making a book?

I begin with Autoflow to distribute photos. Then rearrange to suit and add one or two text pages. But after clicking on "Buy Book" I get the "Incomplete Book" warning. Even after double checking that there are no blank photo spaces, I get the same warning.
Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

You have a background in one of the pages that's a gray background with palm trees on it. That's actually a frame for using an image for the page's background. Change it to some other color or add a photo to that page.
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

"Incomplete font" warning when packaging a file in InDesign CS5.5?

When I package a file, any fonts that appear with an "incomplete font" warning, are not collected. But these fonts aren't incomplete at all—I have installed them from the file that I purchased from Linotype (Helvetica Neue). Can someone please tell me how to make this warning go away and have InDesign recognise that the font is in fact complete?

"Helvetica Neue" ... are you working on a Mac?
I'm asking this because Mac OS X comes with a Helvetica Neue installed -- in fact it's part of the required System set. But Apple decided the font was not good enough as it was, and made a couple of changes to it to make it work "better", and in doing so they broke a couple of things that fonts need to get printed correctly. So everyone's advice is to steer well away from using the System version of Helvetica Neue on a Mac.
Which brings me back to your assertion

as I suggest you very carefully and thouroughly double- then triple-check that you are, in fact, using your own Helvetica Neue instead of the system one.

Warning when making DVD...AC3, PCM audio tracks !!!

Greetings,
As soon as i start the creation of a DVD using my MPEG-2 source files (MPEG audio.. not Dolby, etc) ... Encore shows a dialog box saying :
NTSC DVD requires at least one ac3 or PCM audio track for every title set. Do you want to continue the build?
I select OK but then the DVD it produces is unreadeable in DVD players. (But my pc DVD player and the DVD burner i used can read it.)
I tried to export my MPEG-2 assets from Premiere using other audio formats but then the files are way too big. (Please don't recommand using AVI format since it is not an option for my case... for many reasons !)
Note that it use not to do that... and the DVD i was producing were readeable in regular DVD players... i did created them with Encore and was not getting the warning message.
Something must have changed somewhere....
It strange to see that i do not see this error/warning message on the Internet..(Except for one instance which doesn't provide any help.)
Thanks for any help !

From the Encore DVD 1.x FAQ Entry,
What type of Audio files can I use?
2/. In general, all MPEG audio is best avoided. Until fairly recently, MPEG Audio was a required format for PAL regions, but this has now been dropped back to an optional format instead. This means that a DVD-V disc with just MPEG audio is out of spec, and may not play back correctly on some set top players.
3/. Mandatory formats are those that all DVD players are required to be capable of playing back. Optional formats are not required to be supported, and in cheaper players are often dropped.

Aperture Crashing when making book

Since updating to the latest release of Aperture, I've noticed it has gotten a bit freeze-prone. Working on a new book today, I've had to force quit 7 times in the last 3 hours. Thank god for Aperture saving as I go along.
Has anyone else noticed this?
for example (all of the below require a force quit):
-freezing for no reason when browsing photos in my library.
-freezing occasionally when making minor adjustments
-I'm currently making a book, my first since updating to 3.3 or whatever we're on now. I was incorporating a map into several pages and without fail, sometime during the process of choosing a location on each map creation, Aperture would "not respond" and freeze. I'd have to force quit.
Any ideas? I have no clue why this is happening. I'm running the top of the line 2013 21" imac, with really no other bloating or hi-needs programs other than Aperture. I'm solely running Aperture when doing any heavy editing. I really doubt it is the Mac.

Hopefully this will be fixed soon. You may want to send feedback to Apple to let the developers know of the problem. Here is the feedback form: Apple - Aperture - Feedback
And I hope your book will turn out great, in spite of the problems.
Unfortunately it will not help, to go offline, when entering the Places, because the connection to the server is needed. Going offline will prevent Aperture from crashing, as far as I can see, but the Place markers will not appear on the map, because there is not connection to the server.

How do I sort the photos in the photo pane when making a photo book?

There's a certain order that I'd like to see the photos I want to use when making a photo book. But the order that I have it in (which is done manually and not by date) in the album does not appear in the same order when I want to turn some of those photos into a photo book. For some reason the photos that appear on the right side of the screen, "photo pane" show the photos in a different order. Is there some kind of setting that I'm missing?

No - they are in date order - the only solution I've seen is to ues teh batch change command time & Date command on the photos in the album to put them in date order to match the album -- or just drag them to the book pages in the order you want them

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the store after assembly. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large images. How can I get past this?

When making a photo book, my iPhoto freezes during uploading the book to the storey. I have attempted this 4 times now and I don't know what to do! I know the file size is massive due quantity of large image files, but I don't want to reduce the image file size and compromise quality in the book. How can I get past this?
My macbook air is os x 10.9, using iPhoto 11 9.5 (902.7).

Try Old Toad's solution here: See Re: iphoto : upload impossible to print a book
Try to boot into Safe Mode and order this way, or sign into a different user account and try to order as a different user.

When making a book, one of my photos selected appears only on the flap, how can I get it to be in the book also?

1. When making a book using Iphoto, one of my photos selected appears only on the back flap, how can I get it to be in the book also? I added an extra page thinking that would help, didn't!
2. It says that you can photos anytime, can I add a photo that I did not select originally without starting completely over?
...any suggesstions for both problems would be appreciated. Thanks

you can use a photo many time is the same book - simply drag it from the photo strip to the photo frame you want it in - even though you have used it before you can still use it again
And adding photos is easy - go to the photo (in an album, event or photo view) and drag the photo(s) to the book under keepsakes - it will now be available to use

When making an iphoto book I double click to open a page and nothing happens

When making an iphoto book nothing happens when I double click to open a page to work on it.

Try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

When I click on purchase book, i get message "Incomplete Book. Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos." I have checked the page layouts several times and no missing seem to be missing.

when I click on purchase book, i get message "Incomplete Book. Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos." I have checked the page layouts several times and no missing seem to be missing. Any suggestion? page layouts and number of photos are consistent. several pages are identified as custom, as a result of captions added to several photos. I'm using a macpro and iphoto11.

There is one or more missing photo - typically a page background requiring a photo that is hidden behind a layout with photos in it - look through every page for that - any page tha thas a grey background rather than color is a problem - and it ccan be behind a full page photo so you have to check the page background rather than just look at the page

Incomplete Book error

When trying to 'Buy Book' in iPhoto '09, I keep getting the error:
*Incomplete Book*
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.
All frames do in fact have images - however from what I read this seems to be a page background issue.
Based on the suggestions in the forum, I have re-selected the layout of Blank, then background image and dragged the image on to the background. It all appears onscreen perfectly.
No matter what I do, it keeps giving me the same error message.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
Yours s the first post of this I've seen in iPhoto '09 - it use dot be that the most common problem was a background photo behind a full [age photo making it very hard to fine - I'm sure that you do have a missing photo and since it is not obvious it probably is a background photo behind a full page photo
click here for a link to the iPhoto '08 discussion I did on this - iPhoto '09 is a bit different in that there is no longer a grey palm tree -but the concept is the same - see if it helps you.

Welcome to the Apple User discussion forums
Most likely you have a page with a "grey" palm tree or background on it - this is a background that contains a photo
First go through you book and see if there are any grey backgrounds - if there are either add a photo as the background or change the background to a solid color
If this does not work then you have a hidden photo background and you will need to go through the book again and select every full page photo layout and change it to a single photo layout that is not full page so you can see the background - when you find a grey background change it to a solid background and change the photo layout back to full page
You will find your "missing" photo(s) and be able to order
I also suggest asking Apple to provide some tools to help find these missing photos - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
I also recommend looking through Liz Castro's web page for additions information on backgrounds and layouts for each iPhoto book theme - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/

HT4059 Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

Why are books not available even though they appear as search results in Apple Canada iBook Store?

You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

I am making a complex vector pattern for laser-cutting. No part may be more than 7mm wide at any point. How can I define this in order to get a warning when a shape is too wide? can this be automated?

Not in Illustrator. You will need a CAD program or similar where you can dial in such manufacturing criteria.
