Going crazy. Have tried to upload my photos to make a book (I have done this before successfully) but after trying for at least 12 times I am stumped. I have done a repair to iPhoto, downloaded in safe mode, created 2 more books. Error still happening.

Going crazy. Have tried at least 12 times to upload photos to make a book. I used the same photos in June and made the book quite successfully. An error message always occurs. I have done a repair in iphoto, rebuilt it, uploaded in safe mode and have even started again and made another book only to have the error message appear again saying that uploading was not successful. Any ideas please?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

What is your iPhoto version?

An error message always occurs.

And what does the error message say exactly?


Sometimes the upload will not succeed, if your book contains photos that are corrupted . Is the preview of the book ok? If you not yet have made a preview, check it carefully, if all photos seem to be o.k.

But annette256 already tried Safe Mode, Old Toad?

I have done a repair in iphoto, rebuilt it, uploaded in safe mode and have even started again and made another book only to have the error message appear again saying that uploading was not successful.

If the preview is o.k., I'd have suggested to try from a different administrator user account, in combination with Safe Boot Mode. Perhaps it is a preferences or permissions problem.

Hi LeonieDF,


The version of iphoto is iphoto 11, 9.4.3


The error message occurs at the end of the upload process. It states :


"An error occured uploading your order. Click retry to upload the failed asset again or cancel".


We have also created a pdf and checked it - all seems ok with the images and text there.


Still at a loss...


Hi OldToad,


We've also tried booting in safe mode, checked the pdf built while loaded in safe mode, amd tried to upload again multiple times with no success.


Have rebuilt, repaired the iphoto 11 data base as well. Still no luck...


The strange thing is, the photos used to make this book have been all used to make previous books succesfully with no such problems.


I have also re made the book from scratch 3 times now too...


We will now try creating and using a different admin account.


Cheers all, thanks for your assistance and I'll keep you posted.


Regards,


Annette256
