Q: how to change shipping address to a different country

Hi

I live in the UK which is my default address. 2 years ago I had no problem with having my order shipped to an address in Germany. However 30 min ago I tried the same thing and the **** system won't let me make the change to a different country although it says in the specs very clearly that when living in Europe the shipping address can be changed very easily to a different country within Europe.

Can anyone help please.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iphoto 7.1.5

    in the iPhoto advanced preferences set the print products country to Germany - having unknoledgeble users does not make a system **** - it simply means that the user needs to learn - and not getting profane might help

    I have the same problem and what LarryHN suggests doesn't work for iPhoto 09 which is what I have. In fact my problem is even worse. Living in Sweden, Apple of course, forces me to the Swedish Apple sites and forces me to use a shipping address in Sweden when what I want to do is send a photo book to friends in the UK. But it's now even worse than that. I cannot even change the shipping address to any other address in Sweden because it will not accept Swedish zip codes even though my billing address is in Sweden with a Swedsih zip code. Maybe that all this has happened since I updated 2 weeks ago to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Infuriating. Any advice welcome.

    You are correct - the solution posted is for iPhoto '11 - I do not remember what or if there is a solution for iphoto '09 - its been a couple of years since I had '09

    Thanks. I've even edited my Appleid account now and included another Swedish shipping address which it accepts along with the postal code but then when I retry to order the iphoto book although this comes up as an alternative shipping address it does not onclude the postal address and when I put it in it rejects it. It seems that Apple is not a very joined up organization when it comes to its IT systems. Strange. And of course it is impossible to contact anyone in Apple about this or any other problem.
