an error occurred uploading my iPhoto Book order. It puts the book together and starts to send but at the very last moment comes up with an error message. but checking the book in iPhoto there are no problems to be found.
OS X Mavericks (10.9)
One of my iphoto books I have successfully sent before, but now I want another copy, this one won't go.
It might help us help you if you told us the actual exact error message
Does it preview correctly? http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2486
What version of iPhoto?

Hi LarryHN, I'm using iphoto 9.5 (the latest as I understand) . Yes the preview is fine. The error message just says 'An error has occurred. Do you wish to try and re-send or cancel'? Many attempts are unsuccessful. Thanks
Several people have reported this
It may be Apple server load issues as it seems intermittent
It also may be Internet relayed as several people have had success at work, at an Apple store or using 4g
No definitive answer has been posted
Be sure to preview your book before ordering. http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2486

This user talked to Apple Support personnel and confirms what Larry is suggesting:
Just got off the phone with apple support. If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.
Happy Holidays
Hi Everyone,
Woo Hoo!!!! I didn't think the problem with book upload was Christmas rush - as I have been trying at all times of the day & night for 2.5 months - & trying heaps of things which I mentioned but apparently did not post. I took the advice which was posted on the forum & used 4G network - but I haven't been able to do so until today because I had to travel to an area which provided this service. I'm thrilled!!! It worked & I got 2 books away (very quickly also) & know that as I get others finished, I can arrange to travel back here. Thanks for the great advice!
