iphoto Book won't let me add page past 33

Worth a try - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help

This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

I have the same problem - my book stuck at 29 pages. Tried deleting plists, full system maintenance (cache clearing, permissions repair, etc) - no change.

Same issue, tried deleting the iphoto.plist file and same problem.



Please apple let me spend 70 bucks buying a book by letting me add pages...

Create a new account and try in it - if it works there then there is some issue with your account - if not then a reinstall of iPhoto '11 is indicated - reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only

I have the same problem with u guys...im stuck in page 51 and after that i can not add more pages anymore...autoflow does not work anymore.

Before that i try autoflow and it populates 100pages but i find some layout not suitable for some of my pic and decided to do manually...every thing went fine until i reach page 51....my goodness im very exicited to finish my book so i can print

I buy an ilife'11 upgrade because of this photobook service.....now i'm ruin....anybody got a solution now?

Tried both methods, still cannot get past page 33....


Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.

Are you able to manually add an additional page past your page 51? If so try the auto load again and see if it will continue with the unused photos.

OT

i can not add anymore pages after 51.....what i do is click the first page and try adding pages and it works....then i do the layout manually and re-arrange the pages after...its quite tedious but im able to finish my work.....82 pages in total...now waiting for the the delivery of my photobook....

So you can manually add pages but can't get the autofill to work after you've added a blank page or two. Be sure to report this to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

if click the last page im not able to add page...i tried so many times but nothing happen.....i discover when i click the first page then able to add pages but it will blank page 2 and so on....i tried to auto flow but nothing happens....i manually do the layout and rearrange the pages after its done.....

Reported to Apple Feedback... Tried adding page on first page didnt work also.


Thanks for the suggestions..

I'm also having this same issue with iPhoto '11. Can not add another page, I'm stuck on 27. It's weird because it's treating the back cover flap like it's an individual page. ??? Extremely annoying bug. I'm going to have to start all over again!!!! >:(

I was able to add pages to a stuck iPhoto book after removing a spread page
I also deleted the last flap of the book which had the design changed to a full page.
Now I am have having trouble getting the flap back.

Autoflow in iPhoto ver 8.+ was terrific. Create a book, customise the page layout and then fill it with autoflow. Then tweak the odd image. Job done in 30mins.

Not so in iPhoto ver 9.1. Create a book, customise the page layout and then try and fill it with autoflow. No go. It just sits there and refuses to fill the layout. Two hours later trying all sorts of approaches I gave up and exported the images to one of our macs with iphoto ver 8.+. Job done. Autoflow in ver 9.1 only works with its own layout. So you end up with a 70 page book that a custom layout will reduce to 30.

Apple - please restore the autoflow flexibility of ver 8.+ to ver 9.1. In the mean time I'll use our ver 8.+ to create our books. Very unimpressed with the upgrade.

All of these posts share one thing: the iPhoto book has become stuck at an odd number, truly odd because the book is set up to remain in even numbers.
Check this: Is either your front or back cover flap missing? If so, click on the cover in question, choose "Design," and choose "Spread." This will restore the project to even numbers and allow you to add pages. Remember that the book will want to stay even, and so when you add a page, it will delete an empty page until you click again, and then it will add two pages.
If it's not the cover, pick ANY page and choose "Spread" to create an "extra" page and return the book to even numbers.
Hope this helps someone. I'm leaving out the three days of trial and error and a fruitless half-hour spent on the phone with Apple Support.
