I-Movie photo problem

Photos won't change in I-Movie. I create a project, and dragged several photos into it. The thumbnails represent the correct images, but when I try to play the project, the first photo keep showing even when the red position indicator plays through the other photos. I've done a few creative fixes: changed the photo file names, opened the photos in preview and screen grabbed them, then inserted the grabs, created a new project and started all over again, restarted the software, restarted the computer, etc. Nothing fixes the issue. Anyone have advice? Using a macbook from 2007 with imovie 11 9.0.8 (1778)

In the lower right corner of the App Store window is a round button with the image of a flag. Clicking that button takes you to a page where you can choose your country by flag. You may have to scroll to the bottom of the window to see the button. The country must match your billing address on record.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • How do i move photos from photo library to camera roll

    how do i move photos from photo library to camera roll on ipod touch 4th generation

    I also had a similar problem with "photo library" and wondered how to do about copying my photos there to my computer. I was delighted when i succeeded moving my photos from my iphone4s "Photo library" to my "camera roll".
    I could do it using 3 apps: 1) fileExplorer 2) fileapp 3) dropbox
    Downloading these apps on my iphone devide and then Using 1) I was able to see my albums in "photolibrary" and open it in either 2) or 3). Opening it up in 2) fileapp, will give you the option to save in "camera roll" with the top right hand corner button. 
    After saving it in camera roll, I will be able to easily copy them out from camera roll from DCIM folder onto your computer.
    I am not a comp savvy person, and I managed.

  • Photos are dark and cannot be used in slideshow mode.  Also cannot move photos in a sequence.  Also photos will not move from grid to add to another collection.

    Lightroom 4, photos are dark when in slideshow mode.  Therefore, cannot create a slideshow.  Cannot move photos from grid to add to another collection.  Also cannot change sequence of photos.  Have searched multiple  times for troubleshooting help online with no resolution available.

    Just to clarify my problem with the "dark photos"....when in slideshow mode, photos are dark and state "no photo selected"  I've created multiple slideshows and this was never an issue.  Just downloaded updates as well for Lightroom 4 and this didn't seem to help either.

  • Move Photos from One Project to Another

    Is there a way to move photos and transition effects from one project to another?
    Using iMovie08
    Thanks

    @bshig
    more often than not, i seem to import the images into a new project, which i don't want.
    I spotted and 'solved' this one last night. I don't have Aperture in front of me just now, so I'm writing this from memory...
    Open your Preferences. Look for, I think, an Import tab. There's a preference for setting the default target project which has two options (from a pop-up menu). The options are "New Project" and something like "Selected Project". Changing that over should solve your problem...

  • How can i move photos manually in iPhoto

    how can i move photos manually in iPhoto

    This seems to be a recurrent problem. There is no very simple way to move a photo within an Event. However, the following (which I have not seen posted anywhere) works without needing to go to Albums, and is not too laborious for a few photos:
    Go to Events in the menu on the left, under LIBRARY.
    Select your event.
    Highlight the photo you want to move, then go to the menu bar at the top of your screen (not window) choose Photos > Adjust Date and Time.
    Adjust the date and time to get the photo to appear at the postion you want (sorry, you'll need to check the dates and times of the photo one side of where you want it to go first). Do this and your photo should move to the new position, defined by its new date and time.

  • Can't move photos into albums

    Hi there,
    ever since I upgraded to iPhoto '09 I can't seem to move photos into albums that I am editing.
    When viewing the photos in "normal" list mode there is no problem to move them into an album. I grab the photo, drag it onto the album and a green plus sign appears indicating that it is possible to add the photo. When I drop it and check, the photo is indeed inside the album as it should.
    When I double click the photo to go into edit mode I see the enlarged photo and a strip of photos running along the upper edge. This is just like in iPhoto '08. It used to be that I could grab photos in that strip and drag them to an album. When I do this now the green plus sign does appear just as before, which makes me think that I can indeed add it to the album. However, when I check the album the photo is not there.
    Is this a bug? Is it some preference that I can set?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

  • Move photos between rolls

    Hi,
    I don't know why this is so difficult but I just want to do the most basic thing. In photos view, I want to create a roll (new category of pictures). Then I want to move photos from one roll to another. I can drag them up or down but I will move to the top with my pictures selected and it will move a little bit but then stop. I can't go up all the way to a different roll.
    I tried cut and paste but that didn't work either.
    Thanks in advance

    You're absolutely right, Apple isn't that dumb and I have no difficulty dragging and dropping between Events, though you seem to, so I suggested a way for that works for those who have problems with dragging and dropping.
    d then, when adding photos, I can't drag a photo to a specific event. I would have to drag it to iPhoto, it will create a new roll, then go to that roll, flag the photos in that roll, go back to events, add flag photos to that event, then go to that event, find the flagged photos and then unflag them.
    Well, no matter what you cannot import to a specific Event. Every import creates at least one new Event. Of course, the most recent Event is easy to find: just click on that 'Last Import' on the left hand pane.
    Unflagging is pretty straightforward too. Try clicking on the 'Flagged Photos' on the left hand pane (Hint: it's directly below 'Last Import'), command-a selects all, and unflag them.
    Or, practise dragging and dropping.

  • Nonfunctioning command to move photos from Mail to iPhoto

    Does anyone know why Apple does not fix the lack of function of the drop down command to move photos from Apple Mail to iPhoto? Fix the problem or remove the nonfunctioning command. Dragging as a fix is not solution. Seven months is enough time to fix this.

    Hold down on the image and select Save Image. The photo will be saved to the Camera Roll in the Photos App.

  • How to move photos in Events?

    Once a group of photos are placed in an album, I note that a new Event is created. When I open the Event, I cannot move the photos. For example, if I want to move the last photos in the series to be the 1st photo, nothing happens. However, if I go into the photo library, moving is no problem, but it does not change the position of the photo in the Event.
    Is there a way to move photos in the Event? The help section does not address this.
    Thanks

    The only way to sort photos manually is to either be in an Album or in the Photos mode with the option to view Event Titles not selected.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • I can't move photos to events by flagging them

    The simplest way to move photos from one event to another is by flagging them, then going to the target event, selecting it, and then going to the menu item 'Move flagged photos to selected event'
    But when I do that, nothing at all happens. The photos remain flagged, but don't move.
    I have found other ways to move them, but this would be the best, and I am wondering why it doesn't work

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Move photos from iPhoto to Pictures.

    I want to move photos from iPhoto to Pictures. I exported about 16000 yesterday and trashed the iPhoto ones (still in Trash) but when I looked at the contents of the iPhoto library, they still appeared there.  Why is this?
    If I've modified a pic, then export to Pictures, does the edited version get exported too?  If not, then is it deleted when I trash the iPhoto version?
    Also, it seems that the date when the photo was taken is lost when I export ( it takes on the date of export).  Is there a way to retain it?

    Original is just that: a byte by bye copy of the file you imported.
    Current: Is the current version of the shot - this is as it exists in the Library. Exporting this will miss metadata.
    The quality of the photo you export will depend on the export setting you choose.
    You know, if you take a couple of seconds, iPhoto is much more flexible and easier to use than the Finder. The orgaisation, searching and sorting options are much richer. The problem with the Finder is simple: it organise files. But it makes no distinctions at all between kinds of files, and so offers exactly the same opportunities for organising your Photos, your Music, your Word files. It takes no account of standard metadata - like Exif date and so on.
    iPhoto supports Raw on most cameras, and can be used as a "front end" to Photshop.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    One small conceptual leap and it might make things easier: That Jpeg is not your Photo. Easiest way to elaborate on this: In my iTunes Library I have an mp3 called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles'. But that mp3 is not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. The wrote a song, recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in a container. That container is adapted to the special opportunities of music, and it's an mp3 file.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is just a container for your Photo.
    Iphoto is about Photos. Import them, forget about the jpegs. Tiffs whatever, because they're just containers. Organise your photos - leveraging the special opportunities offered by the fact that they are photos -  and then anything you need to do with or to them can be done either with or via iPhoto.
    When you export, the export dialogue simply asks you a: what you want to export (that's the kind) and everything else is about the container you want to put the Photo in.
    Because, unless you export Originals, you're not exporting the file you imported, you're exporting the Photo you imported, and putting it in a new box.

    Have you tried rebooting? Or rebuilding the library?
    Do you Twango?

  • Suddenly, I cannot move photos from iStream directly to individual folders inside iPhoto. Any cure?

    Suddenly, I cannot move photos from iStream directly to individual folders, inside iPhoto. Any cure?

    What's "iStream"?
    You can't put photos into Folders in iPhoto. You can put them into Albums or Events.
    So, can you explain the problem you're having?

  • How Best to move photos to another Mac?

    I tried to export an event of 27 photos to my iDisk so I could move the photos to my wife's MacBook. It crashed with the first photo.
    What is the best method to move photos from my MacBook Pro 17 to my wife's MacBook?

    Larry,
    Thanks for the reply. We are not on the same network. We both connect to the Internet through a wireless router.
    I previously attempted to copy the photos to a CD and when we loaded the photos on my wife's computer she had three copies of each photo in three separate events. One set was the original, one was the thumbnail and I never determined what the third one was.
    Obviously it did not work. Do I need to export from my MacBook to the CD and then import to hers?
    I love my MacBook Pro and the Mac operating system. However, I find working with iPhoto to be most frustrating, especially since there is no manual or resource guide to help with problems like this.
