I have finished a photo book with aperture 3.6 but when I try to preview it, the application crashes and I have to force quit so I can't order and buy my book.
I have an IMac of late 2013 with a processor of 2'9GHz intel core i5 so I don't think this is the problem.
Anyone know what could be the problem and how to fix it??
Thank you
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.5), null

Your book may contain a photo or a map that cannot be rendered. You will have to identify the problematic item and to remove it and replace it.
Does the crashlog list the the filename of the photo that is currently processed? Look at the error message, if you are seeing any clue to the problematic photo.
You can also try to identify the problematic item by duplicating the book.
Select the book in the Library Inspector, ctrl-click it, select "Duplicate Book".
Make two copies of the book. From the first copy delete half of the pages, from the second coy the other half of the pages.
Try to preview both copies of the book. If Aperture crashes for one of the copies, the problematic item is in this copy.
Continue by duplicating the copy of the book that keeps crashing and deleting pages, until you found the page that is causing the crash.
Then try to identify the photo or the map on the page that is causing the crash.
Wich version of Aperture are you using? If you are using a version Aperture 3.4.5 or earlier, maps will not work at all any longer.

thank you for your answer, but I don't think this is the problem, I have tried to preview old books that I could order in the past and now I have the same problem, When I ask for the preview it seems that the computer does nothing and when I look the menu force quit Aperture appears "unresponsive"...
In the past it always worked well, so I don't know what could be the problem....
Open Aperture's Activity Viewer before you try to preview the book, so you can see where it changes. From the Window menu > Show Activity ⇧⌘0
In this Console window you can see what is currently processed.
In the Activity window nothing appears, it's like not doing anything....
So even your previous books no longer work?
Do you have enough free storage to render a book?
Try to narrow down the problem, if it is caused by your current Aperture library, by some preferences files or caches in your user account, or if it is system wide.
I have finished a photo book but I can't preview and order it?
