Mac OS X 10.6.8
iPhoto '11 9.2.3
Photo book will assemble, but not upload to iTunes for purchase.
I have tried three times to allow the contents of the photo to upload, but to no avail. Did not allow the MacBook Pro to go into sleep mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; I spent all day on this book and purposely chose to use Apple rather than Snapfish.
There have been several post like this over the last few days - it looks like an Apple server issue -
does the Photo Book preview correctly? Preview a print project in Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture to avoid issues - Apple Support
You can try in safe mode (be sure to preview again since fonts can change) but probably you will need to keep trying

What size & type of book are you trying to order? If it is the 8-1/2 x 11 softcover, I just noticed that in the new Photos 1.0.1 app, which replaces iPhoto, the only sizes of softcover books they are offering are 8 x 8 and 8 x 6. I, too tried to buy a softcover 8-1/2 x 11 book using iPhoto 9.4 on an older computer and it would just hang there and not complete the order.
I think Apple has made many changes with the new Photos and the older iPhoto software doesn't work as well any more.
As a work around, I exported my book project from iPhoto to a pdf by holding down the option key while clicking on the project and saved it to my desktop. Then I found a great print service called prestophoto.com where I had the option to upload the PDF. They even had a setting that asked if it was an iPhoto book project, and it all went seamlessly and I ordered the 8-1/2 x 11 softcover book from them at about the same price (slightly less) than Apple offers.
Hope this helps.
How do you do it in safe mode? I spent all day creating this photo book, and now it seems that I won't be able to create it.
Would love any help you can offer. Thank you!
I Have been working on this issue for about a week. I finally talked to someone at Apple who said they have been seeing this problem a lot with people who are using older versions of iPhoto. I have a 2011 Mac Book Pro and was running OSX 10.7.5 with iPhoto 9.4.3. He told me to upgrade to Yosemite which I did. all my photos and photo books migrated into the new Photos app successfully and I was able to place an order for my photobooks:)
I am reluctant to upgrade to Yosemite because I did with our other MacBook Pro, which wasn't as old as this one, and slowed down the entire laptop.
Photobook is assembled, but won't upload. I have iPhoto version 9.2.3.
