Re: Unable to buy iPhoto photobook
Hi Ronni Success at last! I only managed to get back to my iPhoto book at midnight last night - when an update arrived. I installed that and thought I would have one last try to buy the book before I attempted your instructions below. It went straight though and the book is now being processed. Whether it was the update or the lateness of the hour - something seemed to work. It is all very strange as I had compiled and bought a similar size book just 2 months ago and all worked perfectly. Many thanks for all your suggestions. Hopefully I won't need them in the future! Regards Marlene On 17/03/2014, at 8:26 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Marlene, 1. Quit iPhoto. 2. From the Finder menu bar, choose Go Utilities to access your Utilities folder (or press Shift-Command-U). 3. In your Utilities folder, open Keychain Access 4. Find the NetServices entry in your Keychain Access window (type NetServices in the search area) 5. Select the NetServices entry and press the delete key. 6. Reopen iPhoto and attempt to place your order again. 7. You should be prompted to enter your account information if you deleted the Keychain entry successfully. 8. After entering your account information, you should be able to complete your order. If you require a screenshot of NetServices in Keychain post back I will email you it Offlist.

I have checked all and followed your instructions and then tried to buy the book in normal mode (3 times) and safe mode (3 times) - but no success. I have looked to see if it is possible to copy a photobook project on to a thumb drive but apparently it's not - only the individual photos. I will now load these on to my husband's computer and recreate the book - and hopefully have some success at buying it from his machine. Thank you for your help. I will keep you informed.

Click Add (+), and then select the application or service in the dialog that appears. If the iPhoto upload is timing out, have you tried 'Power cycle'...

I have successfully ordered books and calendars in the past on this machine. When I try to buy the book it completes the Assembly process OK but doesn't complete Stage 2 - the Upload process - it goes to the end of the Upload progress bar and then loops back to the start - endlessly. On Sunday 16 I tried to buy the book 6 times - during the day and late at night did Repair Permissions Software Update (all good) shut down - tried again - no luck Today I Booted into Safe Mode (info from forums) Tried to buy the book 3 times - still unsuccessful I have saved the project as a PDF and printed it in bw so have a reference. Have put all images on thumb drive Do I spend more hours and compile the whole project on my husband's machine (iMac OSX 10.6.8 SL and iPhoto 11 9.2.3 ) but 2 years younger than my machine and hope it will work? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Will an Airport Express do this ?
Hi folks,Finally I had success with setting up an AE in Ethernet Port at the back of a Panasonic DVD Recorder.I had to reset the AE using the Reset Button and then I configured in Airport Utility.Once on my Local WiFi network it was just a matter of pressing the Viera Cast (Ronni’s useful hint) button on the Remote and up came the options on the TV screen including ABC iView.I will now duplicate this on my mother’s DVD Recorder.So an Airport Express can be used as an Ethernet Bridge.For those who are interested see below:-Regards Stephen ChapeMac by choiceWindows because my employer knew no better AirPort Express: How to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode Learn how to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode. Languages English Some Ethernet-enabled devices, such as game consoles and printers, as well as some compatible USB printers, don't have a built-in Wi-Fi interface. If you would like these devices to connect to your network over Wi-Fi, you can use an AirPort Express to act as the bridge. Additionally, client mode can be used for AirPlay music streaming from a computer running iTunes to a sound system. Simply connect the appropriate cable (Ethernet cable between the device and the AirPort Express, USB cable from a compatible USB printer, or audio cable for music streaming), and configure the AirPort Express for client mode using AirPort Utlity. Notes In client mode, the AirPort Express is used exclusively by the device to which it is physically connected. It won't extend the range of the Wi-Fi network, meaning that other devices, such as computers, cannot connect to it wirelessly. While in client mode, AirPort Express with 802.11n will be able to use the Ethernet port to pass Wi-Fi traffic to a device connected to the Ethernet port. However, the original AirPort Express 802.11g doesn't support this feature and will disable the Ethernet port. Only compatible USB printers or audio devices are supported. To use any of these features, you will also need the appropriate Ethernet, audio, or USB cable to connect the device to the AirPort Express. Before you begin, make sure that your AirPort software is up-to-date. You can download the latest version for Mac or Windows from the AirPort Support page. Using AirPort Utility 6 1. Connect an appropriate cable between the AirPort Express and the device it will serve. 2. Plug the AirPort Express into a power outlet. 3. After the AirPort Express starts up, select it in the AirPort Utility screen. 4. If you are now repurposing the AirPort Express, first reset it from Base Station in the menu bar and select Restore Default Settings. After the AirPort Express completes the restore process, choose it from the Wi-Fi menu in the upper-left corner. Click the Other Options button. Select "Add to an existing network". CHoose the Wi-Fi network name from the Wireless Network Name menu that you wish to join and click next. Enter the password to this network if required. Using AirPort Utility 5 Connect an appropriate cable between the AirPort Express and the device it will serve. Plug the AirPort Express into a power outlet. After the AirPort Express starts up, select it from the Wi-Fi menu, and then use the Setup Assistant in AirPort Utility to set it up. If you are now repurposing the AirPort Express, first reset it from Base Station in the menu bar, by selecting Restore Default Settings. Select the AirPort Express in AirPort Utility, and then click Continue. Enter a name and password for the AirPort Express, and then click Continue. Select "I want AirPort Express to join my current network", and then click Continue. Select "Join my wireless network," and then click Continue. Select your Wi-Fi network name from Wireless Network Name drop-down menu, match the Wireless Security, and then click Continue. Click Update. Allow the AirPort Express to restart. After the AirPort Express has restarted it should automatically join the existing Wi-Fi network, as indicated by its status light. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Settings Unsubscribe - http://lists.wamug.org.au/listinfo/wamug.org.au-wamug

Re: Mavericks
Yes I agree Stephen. I have 4 MacBooks in the house with Mavericks and we've had no issues. One thing I would suggest to Ken, do a google search for use of Mavericks with your brand and model of printer. See if there are people having issues with that model. My Epson no problem. You may have peculiar 3rd party software too which may or may not be problematic, again just a quick google search will expose any gross issues. My experience with mavericks has been positive. I hope it is for Ken if you launch the updater!

Re: Mavericks
My experience likewise, not one glitch from Mavericks, which I installed about a week after first release. I note though that I am meticulous with housekeeping and I run Clean My Mac and Disk Warrior on a regular basis as well as promptly trashing unwanted files. And of course I did all of that as well as repaired permissions with Disk Utility immediately prior to installing Mavericks.
