Aperture Library not available in iMovie

I want to add some photos from my Aperture Library into an iMovie project. However, when I click on Aperture Library, it says "Loading", but the wheel keeps spinning forever and nothing happens. I have iMovie version 10.0.1 and Aperture 3.5.1. Aperture is also set up to automatically generate previews.
Does anyone recognize this problem and know about a solution?

I am not sure (I don't use Aperture )but if you have a very large number of photos in your Aperture library it may be struggling to list them all in the iMovie window . You can also use the Finder to navigate your Aperture library and locate the photos you want. You can drag them singly or in groups directly to Events or even into the timeline.

Aperture library not available as desktop or screensaver option

Aperture library is not available as desktop or screensaver option. Nor is it available in Fotomagico. Any ideas?

Go into "System Preferences" -> "Desktop & Screensaver" -> "Desktop"
Scroll down the list on the left. The top categories should be the Apple default desktop images that came with Snow Leopard. Below that you should see iPhoto and it's events, albums, etc. Below that you should see Aperture with your projects listed below that.
Do you at least see the projects listed or does Aperture not even appear? Or is the problem that you aren't able to select any of the images from a project?
If the latter I'm wondering if you're missing previews. You might go into "Aperture" -> "Preferences..." and pick the "Previews" category. Make sure the check boxes are selected for "New projects automatically generate previews" and "Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible" (if your camera shoots in RAW+JPEG mode then it'll use the JPEGs from the camera as the preview instead of building it's own.)
You can force it to update previews but note that since it normally wants to generate previews automatically the 'Update Preview(s)' isn't a global function... it only rebuilds the previews for images you have selected (which means you have to go into each project, select all images, and do a "Photos" -> "Update Previews"
Beyond this, you'd probably need to run Aperture first-aid to determine if there is some corruption in the Aperture library preventing it from being used.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

Iphoto 8.1.1 library not available in IMovieHD

I am running Leopard on my MacBook Pro and use both IMovie HD and 09. My IPhoto library is not available to me when I am editing in IMovieHD. This is a recent occurrence. I get the message "Open iPhoto 2 or Aperture 1.5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library in this list." I don't have this problem editing in HD on my IMac, which runs Snow Leopard. What can I do? Do I have to upgrade my laptop to Snow Leopard?

Found it, yes, its in the Picture Folder, but I was looking for another Folder with all the pictures and notice a file called iphoto library, its not a folder but when I right click and show package, I saw a folder called orginal with all the pictures.
Thats what I was looking for..
Hope this help other people...

3.1 library not compatible with iMovie '09 and iDVD 7.0.4 ???

I took the Aperture upgrade last night to 3.1 and Aperture itself appears to be running ok, although I haven't tested a ton of the functionality yet. What I was working on was wrapping up a wedding I shot and am putting the final touches on the movies and DVD for my clients.
However, since the upgrade neither iMovie '09 nor iDVD 7.0.4 can access my Aperture library. They seem to think they can see it, but all that happens in the wheel sits and spins. I though maybe this was due tot he current size of my Aperture library (170 gig, about 40k images) but after letting iMovie sit and spin for about 6 hours I don't think that is the problem.
Looks like there is a compatibility bug here.

To Tony: This is a known bug in Aperture 3.1 as earlier posts show. I do have the same bug. I went into few steps for solving it, but didn't find a working way. What I did:
I created a new empty library and imported few photos. This library works, iLife shows the library contents in iPhoto, iMovie and so on.
I exported few projects from my main library and created from them a new library. This library is about 30 GB and it works too.
I exported then my whole library to a new library. This tooks me over 6 hours because the library was around 300 GB with 25k photos. This library still does not show in iLife media browser.
I did a repair permissions and check database consistency on this library too. No change.
As the smaller library with only 30 GB in size does function as expected, it seems it has to do with the larger size of the second or main library or there is something wrong in there.

Help! iPhoto library not available to other Apple applications

My iPhoto library is not available for browsing in other Apple applications like iMovie, Mail or even Desktop and Screen Saver. I've rebuilt the iPhoto database, fixed permissions, tried to do over starting with a clean plate and importing the database and nothing seems to work. The iPhoto library is unavailable to other Apple applications that can make use of it.
Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem? FWIW, iTunes is available in other Apple applications and iPhoto seems to work just fine as a stand alone application it just doesn't want to play with the other children anymore.
Thanks.

Eric
Sharing between applicationns is enabled by a file in the iPhoto Library Folder called the Albumdata.xml file.
First step: Remove this file and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild the files. Then relaunch the other apps, see if they see can see iPhoto.
If not, do you have any non-ascii characters in your titles or keywords - bascaly anything that's not 0-9 or a - z.
If that's not the issue, have a look at this thread

especially Dave E's discovery about malformed strings in the albumData file.

Attachments in Form Library Not Available?

Are attachments in the Advanced Settings not available in a Form Library like it is in other Library's? I know I can add the attachment link on an InfoPath form, but I would like it to be on the ribbon as well and as a column for my view.

Why is aperture photos not available elsewhere

I have previews switched on and share with ilife apps always enabled.
Yet aperture library does not appear in the media section of open dialogues or as a choice source for my ipad.
I have fixed premissions and rebuilt database, I am running the latest leopard.
There are no addons or anything on my aperture.
Any ideas?

Is Aperture in your Applications directory?
(Just a guess. Looks like you've covered the rest.)

Pane with audio meters and SFX library not available

All my panes are showing up in every layout except for the pane with the SFX library and audio meters. I properly removed/re-installed FCS, and the pane is still not available. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I can't find it, but try trashing the STP preferences. I assume you've already gone through the menu to try to turn it on.
Go here for information for trashing preferences.

HT4557 Full itunes library not available on ipod touch

I have shared my itunes library on my laptop but when I access it through my ipod touch not all the songs in my library are available. Does anyone have any idea why this is?

Shared iTunes Library not available

My iTunes library is located in the "Shared" users account and pointed to by a folder alias in my own "Music" folder. However, when setting up a slide show in iPhoto, my iTune tracks are not available. In fact iTunes does not even show up in the Music pane.
If I create an actual (not an alias) iTunes music folder in ~/Music/ iPhoto works as it should.
I have tried creating symbolic links at the command line instead of using the "Create Alias" action in Finder. Doing so does not help.
iTunes works fine. The problem is only in iPhoto.
iMac 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9)

As a work around I have been able to start iTunes while holding down the "Option" key and create a new iTune Library in my ~/Music folder. Then I import whatever song I want to use in my slideshow.

Iphoto library not available as screensaver

I want my computer to show my pictures from the iPhoto library, as the screensaver. I always had that but now in Mountain Lion the iPhoto library is not available as an option to select. I do have the possibility to select my PhotoBooth picture, but I want my iPhoto Library. Anyone have the same issue and, more importatn, does anyone know how to fix this?

you can choose to use your iphoto library pics by going into system prefs/desktop & screensaver
click on screensaver and make sure you choose a screen saver option that uses pictures (such as floating, snapshots, etc)
now next to source option hit the drop down and your iphoto library should be an option to choose
once you choose iphoto library it will further give you options to use specific event pics etc.

Apps in library not available for syncing

I've searched and searched but can't seem to figure out this problem.
There are some apps in my iTunes library that I had purchased on my iPad and I want to put them on my son's iPod touch. But when I plug in his device those apps don't appear on the sync list for his device. No matter what I do I can't seem to get those apps on the list, which means I can't get them on his iPod. How do I solve this problem?

I see all my smart albums in iTunes when I sync the iPad. But sometimes iTunes is confused about the current library. I have several iPhoto and Aperture Libryries, and I noticed that iTunes sometimes still tries to sync the previously opened library, not the most recently opened one. To be able to tell which library iTunes is showing, I name one of the projects exactly like the library. So I can tell easily, if iTunes is syncing an older copy of the library.
For example a small test library named "iPhoto Library" containing one smart album:

Aperture library not showing up in upload browser

When I go to upload Aperture photos to the web, my Aperture library is not listed in the media browser. Only iPhoto and Photo Booth is there. I've had to go into Aperture and export the photos to upload them. This started to happen after I upgraded to Lion. Any suggestions?

Aperture did not show up in any other apps, but I found an discussion started by someone with the same issue, and the issue was resolved by creating a new library, then swicthing back to your original library. I tried this and it worked for me also. Here is the discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2338518?start=0&tstart=0

Aperture projects not available to Finder - way to match Finder to Project structure?

Just transitioning from the dark side (PC) ... and don't fully understand this relationship. I have all images organized in projects and want to have same folder structure in Finder. Way to get there from here?

No, there is not.
Aperture is an image-manager. Finder is a file manager. Images are not files. Image containers are not file containers.
This is an important -- and difficult -- hurdle for users to clear in order to make the most of Aperture.
Read my short intro to Aperture. It describes a little bit of this difference.
You have files made by your camera. You import them into Aperture. Aperture stores these files where you tell it to (or in the Library by default). It never alters them (unless you tell it to). And it creates an Image. You develop your Images (make adjustments, in Aperture-speak), you add metadata, you create whatever organizational structures you want (Aperture excels at this) ... and then, when you need a _file_ to share with another person or to use in another program, you export your Image(s). Export means "Make me image-format files from these selected Images". And then you have files that show in your file manager, which in OS X is the Finder.
Between import and export, you don't have to worry about file management at all -- except to make sure you backup your Aperture Library and any Originals (the name Aperture gives to the file you import after you import them) that are stored outside your Library (Aperture calls these "Referenced Originals").
HTH.
