Q: iPhoto does not download albums to Apple Store

I can create a photo album, when I try to send it to Apple , it takes all my payment and shipping information, creates album, but then stops working when it should be uploading to store.

Have used it before with no problems.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    Hello there, rbtbas.

     

    It sounds like you're having issues with completing an order using iPhoto. The following Knowledge Base article offers up a great checklist of steps for troubleshooting:

     

    iPhoto for Mac: Troubleshooting ordering prints and projects from Apple - Apple Support

     

    If the issue persists after reviewing the checklist of steps in the first two sections:

     

    During upload: Transmission-based troubleshooting

    Did iPhoto successfully upload your files to the Apple servers and give you an order number?

    No, I didn't get an order number.

    1. Make sure you are using iPhoto '09 or later. Earlier versions of iPhoto can no longer order print products.
    2. If any firewall or network security software is enabled, make sure iPhoto is allowed access to ports 80 and 443, or try temporarily disabling the software.
    3. Certain third-party Anti-virus and system cleanup apps, such as MacKeeper, can interfere with iPhoto ordering. Make sure these apps are disabled.
    4. Make sure you have sufficient bandwidth to complete the order. iPhoto requires approximately 1.5 Mb/s to avoid timing out during the order process. Many free websites are available to test your bandwidth speed.
    5. iPhoto ’09 only: If none of these steps solves the issue, you may need to reset your NetServices keychain item. Instructions are available at the end of iPhoto: Difficulty submitting a book, card, or calendar order.

     

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Kind Regards.

    Good items to check, none of them existed to correct my problem.

    Used to work fine, no changes to my computer that I'm aware of.  Just can't purchase books from Apple anymore.

    Thanks!
