Imovie not communicating with iphoto?

I just imported a CD of photos into my iphoto application and ever since then, I can't seem to get imovie to work with it. When I click on the camera icon, it says "loading iphotos", but never gets any further. Just stays in that "thinking" mode.
I have all the current updates, and this computer is brand new. What can I do to fix this?

• 'photos' does mean .jpeg files..?
• what is the 'size' (=pixel x pixel) of these pics?
• does iPhoto show all pics you'd imported?
• have you tried to create an Album in iP with a selection of these files - does iM show this album?
ah, and Welcome, melissa, to the  iMovie boards

  • IMovie not communicating with camcorder

    i have a panasonic pv-gs14 and i got imovie 6. I used a firewire cable and made sure it was securely in. I tried turning the camera on and off (same in imovie), etc., etc.
    HELP!

    hey there,
    unfortunately for you, about the only computer & software combo that will work directly w/ this proprietary Sony camera/video format is Sony, or maybe something like Ulead Movie Factory on a Windows box. iMovie is awsome for what it costs, what it does & for some of the 3rd party plugins that are available from GeeThree, Stupendous & others.... but it does require video be in a format recognised by Quicktime. most easily this means MiniDV or HDV. i'm not even sure FCP Studio will help your situation as it too requires/prefers video that is recognised by Quicktime.
    i just finished a project using free dl clips, they were .avi but were recognised by QT so they went right in to an iMovie, got treated to some 3rd party fx, then i put that litte movie into an FCE project & sent it to iDVD-- was a test on my new MacBook.
    you'll also need a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire/iLink cable. MiniDV cams are pretty inexpensive these days, also you might try using an analog to digital converter. if the Sony IP cam has AV outs you can run audio & video into the converter then thru the Firewire into the Mac. Canopus makes a couple of moderately priced models.
    good luck

  • My iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud.

    my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud.  Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.
    Most recent version of mountain lion updated over a month ago.  New iPad in use for over a month.
    thanks

    The same thing is happening to me, Mail was fine about an hour ago and now is rejecting correct password.  Typical when today I'm waiting some important emails!

  • My  MacBook is not communicating with my desk top to enable printing from my MacBook. I need to find out how to make that happen. I have a static IP address on my desktop but don't know what to do on the Mac Book.

    My MacBook is not connecting to the host computer for the printer. The host computer has a static IP address which is different from the IP address that the laptop is looking for. How do I change the laptop so that it looks for the host computer's correct IP? The laptop is connected to the router. I know this because I can get on the internet with the laptop.

    The host computer is Dell and the operating system is Windows 7.  The printer is an Epson, and it is wired to the host computer with a USB cable. It does have host printing turned on.
    The three have been working harmoniously for a long time.  The router had to be reset; and after that, the MacBook documents would no longer print.
    We created a new static IP address on the Dell but the MacBook is not recognizing it.  We have researched the internet trying to figure out how to make the MacBook locate and recognize the correct IP address from the Dell so they can communicate with each other.  The laptop is not communicating with the host computer because is is looking for the wrong IP.  The host IP is 192.168.1.245 and the laptop is looking for 192.168.15.237.
    I hope everything is clear.  The person who originally set it up is no longer available to help me.  Thank you for any help you may give me.

  • Help DSCC agent not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat?!

    Installing Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 From Zip Distribution on system running Solaris10 11/08.
    Cannot get DSCC to work with either AppServer or Tomcat.
    Both AppServer & Tomcat deploy DSEE WAR file and I can look at things that I have manually registered via command line. Cacao agent is running it is just not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat so it cannot commit any actions such as starting and stopping directory instances or creating new directories instances within the web app.
    Is this a bug that occurs only when doing a new install using the Zip Distribution?
    The Error message I get regardless if Appserver or Tomcat is:
    "Could not contact the DSCC agent on <server>. Use the command cacaoadm to check that the DSCC agent is installed and running on port 11169."
    I changed to port 11169 because it had a conflict on default port 11162.
    Output from cacaoadm & dsccsetup commands is follows:

    I started over and installed Glassfish and everything just worked. After the fact I think the real problem was related to the server.policy file. I think this was the problem because using the default appserver 8.2 that comes with Solaris has a different path and I got this same error when tried using tomcat also. When installing glassfish it uses this default path as in the server.policy example as follows so it just worked.
    Add the following lines in the {install-dir}/domains/domain1/config/server.policy file
    // Permissions for Directory Service Control Center
    grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/DSCC/-"
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
    Hope this helps some as I was really stuck and confused at the time and just started playing with the stuff. Growing pains. Thanks to those that replied.

  • SAP BI Client tools are not communicating with BO server

    Hi Experts,
    We've recently installed BI 4.1 . We're having few issues:
    1. When client is installed on different machine then it is not communicating with server. We've already tried few things like untick auto assign from Request server and manually assign static port but it didn't work .
    2. Our BO Server is running on AWS Cloud.
    3. Client is communicating when installed on server machine.
    4. Could you please help our how to resolve this error.
    5. CMC and BI launch pad are installed on server side as they're web browser tool and we need to install these on client machine as well. Qns is Do we need to install them or provide just URL link? If just URL like where to get these URL links.
    6. We can't see SAP Lumira and SAP Dashboard on Service market place to install. Where we can find these software on Service maket place?
    7. Could someone please send screenshot to install Dashboard, Lumira, Analysis office and Crystal report enterprise and crystal report 2013.
    8. Do we need to install all these on client machine?
    9. Could you please give me software list which should be installed on client machine?
    10. As i know there is life cycle management tool but it is not even available from server side not even on client side. Could you please recommend how it can be installed??
    Thanks in advance.

    1. When client is installed on different machine then it is not communicating with server. We've already tried few things like untick auto assign from Request server and manually assign static port but it didn't work .
    Could you confirm that you are able to ping the BO server from Client machine. Also use telnet command from commandline of  CMD in client machine. It will help to confirm that port communication is successful. Use ipaddress:cmsport for the system while logging into the client software. Update the hosts file entries at client machine with BO server name and ip address. Create an exception for BO installation location at client machine and check the results
    2. Our BO Server is running on AWS Cloud.
    3. Client is communicating when installed on server machine.
    4. Could you please help our how to resolve this error.
    5. CMC and BI launch pad are installed on server side as they're web browser tool and we need to install these on client machine as well. Qns is Do we need to install them or provide just URL link? If just URL like where to get these URL links.
    Check on the server side first where your web server is installed (I am assuming tomcat in your scenario). Use http://serverame:8080/BOE/BI and http://servername:8080/BOE/CMC (8080 is default port. If it has been changed use the correct port).
    If its working well. Perform the same activity using ipaddress:8080 at server. Next chek whether using the same URL you are able to get BILaunchPad and CMC pages and able to login from the same.

    In BI4.1 LCM comes by default. It is a server application. You can find it in CMC named as Promotion management and version management.
    Use the admin guide and installation guide for all of the above. It will help you.

  • Computer not communicating with printer(s) scanner

    I recently hooked up an Officejet  J6480 wireless printer. I also have a J5780 hooked up via USB. After hours, and I mean hours,  of being on-line with Tech Support through Chat and uninstalling and reinstalling, several times, and trying numerous things, neither printer has communication with the computer for scanning. The J6480 will scan if you go through Paint so it is functioning. The J5780 I haven't tested. I have downloaded drivers and every other thing that was suggested and the computer is not communicating with the printer for scanning. I have a Dell computer Inspiron 530S and am running Windows Vista (32)  May I also say, that I disable the Firewall & Virus programs when downloading, etc. so it doesn't interfer. I have tried everything but dynamite to get the scanner to respond. I've downloaded the Patch suggested in the drivers listings and everything. Im beside myself because the J5780 scanned fine until I installed the J6480. Now the window on the printer says there are no scan settings available in the window on the printer. Chat Techs, I think, are beside themselves too. I uninstalled the J5780, installed the J6480 and then went into 'Add a Printer'. Everything went fine except the scanner. I get a message from Solution Center saying there is no communication between the computer and the scanner. I think something is missing here. If anyone knows a solution I would be more than grateful. HELP!!!!

    Did you do an L3 uninstall of all HP software and start from scratch?  The L3 uninstaller should be on the install CD's for each printer.  You may have to do a search of the CD to find it.
    Tell me what router, ISP and encryption type you are using?  Also, what kind of security software are you using?
    Have you done a WIndows Update and updated your security system?  Do that between the L3 uninstall and the re-install.
    There is a lot going on here.  I'll hang in there with you...
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Iphone 4 will not sync with iphoto

    Iphone four will not sync with iphoto, error message appears. any suggestions?

    Currently downloading upgrades from the "Software Updates" so hopefully that will help,
    Which updates are these?  For iPhoto or for you phone's operating system?
    If you plan on upgrading iPhoto it will require a purchase of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com
    or
    upgrading your MBP to Mavericks and downloading the latest version, 9.5, from the App Store for free.

    HI,
    I had this.
    On checking the iPhone the iPhone Number was not ticked and the whole option to change it was greyed out.
    I removed the Apple ID and waited to see if th Number got ticked (Settings > Messages > Send and Receive).
    It did not.
    I put the iPhone in Airplane Mode
    After a few minutes I "restarted" the iPhone by turning off Airplane Mode
    This time the Number was ticked.
    I Added the Apple ID and then restarted Messages on the Mac.
    I soon got the pop message about the iPhone using it's Number and the Apple ID and Accepted.

  • LG VX8300 not compatible with iphoto???

    I have not tried importing photos from my LG VX8300 to iphoto before, and iphoto does not seem to recognize the camera portion of the phone. Is this phone not compatible with iphoto (iLife 08)
    Thanks
    I am using a USB cable to transfer info... not bluetooth and I'm not buying an SD card
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: Peter Mars

    Peter:
    Do you have a memory card in the phone that you can transfer the photos to? If so, you can get an inexpensive card reader and use it. That's how I get photos from my LG onto my HD.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
