my dad lives in vienna, austria, and has an iMac2 with the international (english) system and keyboard. he bought it in vienna and registered with his vienna address. i have been sending him photos (via email) of his 4-month old granddaughter, suggesting that he select his favorite ones and order the prints thru iPhoto. unfortunately, everytime he tries to set up an account he only gets "USA" and "Canada" as country-options. neither of which are applicable.



does anyone have an idea how that can be changed?

    Right now I think those are the only two places Apple offers this service in. Sorry.

    Actually, Austria is an option for prints...

    However, you may want to check which version of iPhoto he's using. I believe that the non-US/Canada prints and books are only available with iPhoto 5. (I could be wrong about that though)

    Hm...not sure then.

    He can try setting up an account here, I see Austria as an option. (Hopefully that link works.)

    ah, i see! create an apple id at the website, and then log in thru iPhoto.

    excellent idea, thanx!
