Q: Removing a red exclamation mark on iphoto page

A red exclamation point appears on one of the pages in my iphoto book.  I have changed the font and changed the format but nothing helps.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    Where on the page? Instead of a photo? somewhere else?

     

    Just FYI: I would point out that Apple no longer print books created in iPhoto or Aperture. That ceased on March 31, 2016. So, you might want to reconsider your software or purchasing plans.

    The red exclamation point is at the page number only

    I Am using the iPhoto app.  I have made several books with this app but this is the first time I've had this problem.

    You understand that you cannot print this book with Apple, right?

     

    Are you sure it's not the new Photos.app? I've never seen a report of such an exclamation mark on an iPhoto book.

    WWhen I click on Buy Book the message says "your book appears to have text that doesn't fit".  If you continue with this book order, any clipped text may cause the order to be cancelled at a later date.  To edit the text before ordering the book, click cancel.

    i Have checked and rechecked all text on the page and it all fits.  I even changed the format of the page but the red exclamation point always come up right next to the page number - not next to the text.

    Check for any trailing returns after the text on those pages with the red exclamation mark.  They are invisible but will trigger the warning.

     

    As pointed out Apple is no longer supporting iPhoto at its Print Products Store.  If you want to get a printed and bound book from your iPhoto Library book you'll need to use a 3rd party provider.

     

    The only such provider I know of is PrestoPhotos.  Several users have tried them and have given favorable reviews.
