Q: iPhoto book Fail

I have tried 5 times to upload my iPhoto book but it fails every time.  What do I need to do?  I spent a full day working on it and don't want to lose all that effort.

MacBook Air, iOS 7.0.3

    Here are 3 "fixes" that have worked for other users:

     

    A:

     

    Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and order from there.

     

    B:

     

    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.

     

    C:

    Change the language of OS in preferences for any other, reboot your mac, open mac app store and updates would show up. Somehow worked for me and my friends Then you can go back to your orginal language.

    If these don't help come back and give us info on your system, iPhoto version and what, if any, messages you get when it fails.

    I tried all of these recommendations, and I keep getting this message. Any other suggestions to fix this? I want to order my book! There are no '!" marks, I've saved as PDF and everything looks great.

     

    Should I just go to a CVS type place to print the book?

    You do what pleases you

     

    However to get help you actually need to answer the questions so other volenteer users can assist

     

    If these don't help come back and give us info on your system, iPhoto version and what, if any, messages you get when it fails.

    I have iPhoto system 9.4.3 running on Mac OS X version 10.7.5. The message that keeps popping up for me is  "an error occured uploading your order" when it appeared that the system had completed both assembly and upload.

     

    I have deleted the keychain, saved as PDF, rebooted in safe mode, and checked "Apple remote events."

     

    I'm open to any more suggestions to successfully upload a book to order through iPhoto.
