Aperture previews not showing up in media browser (and iweb)

some of my images in aperture projects do not show up in iweb or in the media browser at all....the projects are listed and most other project show all images, but some don't....
i tried several things including consistency check and rebuilding the entire library....nothing works....
this is very annoying...one of the few reasons (but a major one for me) to stick with aperture over LR is the system wide integration....but it has to work....

thanks for that info....i actually managed to fix it by rebuilding my previews.....but there was no reason at all for the previews not to show up....and it actually took 2 times to rebuild them all....some still did not show up after the first run....
i really hope we will see an upgrade soon....some things just have to be smoothed out....and a few added....

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

IPhoto not showing up in media browser

My iPhoto files are not showing up in my media browser in iWeb. Any suggestions?

Alright, I solved this problem at least for myself. Hopefully this works for all of you guys.
(Note: Quite all iLife and iWork applications before doing this)
Step 1. Download and install Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
Step 2. Insert Snow Leopard Disc
Step 3. Run Pacifist
Step 4. Click "Open Apple Install Discs"
Step 5. Select Install Disc in Pop Up Dialog and select "Choose" (it can take a couple of minutes for the disc to load)
Step 6. In the search field at the top of the window type "mediabrowser" (no space) and the second result should be a folder. When you select it it should show that the file path is Library>Application Support>iLifeMediaBrowser
Step 7. Select the iLifeMediaBrowser folder and click the "install" button in the top left of the window
Step 8. Click "Install" in the pop up dialog then input your password in the next window and hit ok
Step 9. Enjoy your media browser being up and running again
If there is a dialog that says something about possible file damage or something to that effect, just hit continue. You'll be a o.k. and up in running again.
I hope this helps any of you!

New Photos Library Not Showing up in Media Browser

Hi, all--
I have the new Photos Library app, but I cannot select photos from it in other apps (like Twitter) because it doesn't show up the Media Browser that appears in the sidebar. The Photos Library is stored in my Pictures folder, and although I can click on the Pictures folder, the package contents of Photos Library isn't accessible there. Is anyone else experiecing this? I see other posts about this problem for iWeb, but I'm seeing it with EVERY 3rd party app/website. I can't select those photos. Help, please!
Thanks!

It's not a bug. It's not an iWeb issue.
It's progress.
Everytime something new arrives, the old is left behind.
But there is a solution.
iPhoto and the old library are still on your computer.
Open iPhoto and select the old library.
After that the images are available again.

New Aperture photos not showing up in iLife browser

I recently upgraded from Aperture 2 to version 3. When I open the Media Browser in any of the iLife apps, I can see all the photos/projects which existed in Aperture prior to the upgrade, but any pictures I've added since do not show up.
I've tried all manner of repairing permissions, turning off face recognition, creating blank libraries, turning preview sharing off and on, but nothing seems to help.
Does anyone have a possible solution?

I had this problem, and what I actually did was a rebuild on the Aperture database which fixed the problem. I got it from Scott Bourne's link below. After rebuilding the Aperture database, I restarted iTunes and the Aperture libraries showed up with the correct count.
http://photofocus.com/2010/02/27/aperture-library-rebuild
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about this but I recently received a question for the podcast that might be answered here on Photofocus.com.
If you use Aperture (II or III) and you have a large library or make lots and lots of changes to even a small library, the Aperture library can bog down or even become unstable.
This has something to do with the database and can lead to symptoms like pictures not showing up or slow scrolling to occasional thumbnail rendering and overall slower performance. I personally also believe it’s tied to a memory leak in the program. In any event, when this happens, rebuilding the Library is often the fix.
Before you rebuild your Library, back up everything to your Vault. Then, quit Aperture. Press and hold Option + Command and launch Aperture by double clicking on the application icon. Follow the prompts to start the rebuild.
It will take some time for the rebuild to be complete. I have my images stored in multiple Libraries of 10,000 image. Rebuild time is about 45 minutes on average.
At the end of the process, you should see snappier performance. This can also be a fix if things are just going haywire without reason.
When you are confident that you haven’t lost any images, back up this newly-rebuilt Library to your Vault and you’re finished.
I recommend that you do this every three months or so and more often if you are a heavy Aperture user or have very large Libraries.

Aperture Previews NOT Showing

I uploaded an album of 6 pics earlier today and as I was going to check the images, after I click them they appear on the large preview window for about a second before dissapearing.
I checked my older albums and they are all doing the same thing. I tried to drag a few of the images to my desktop and then preview them using "Preview" and that seems fine. Back in Aperture, the images all contain their own metadata and all show in the bottom preview (scroll/folder browser), it's only when I click on a pic that it shows on the larger above it window for one second or so before "dissapearing."
As you can see one of the images is highlighted yet it doesn't show up on the large preview. Metadata is all present.
First thing I did was to update from 3.2.3 to 3.2.4
I then restarted Aperture and held down "Command" + "Option" and have done all three options in the "Aperture Library First Aid" list:
Repair permissions
Repair Database
Rebuild Database
each time checking if the issue was resolved before restarting again and rebuilding/repairingwith the next option.
I finally removed my preferences folder from "~/Library/Application Support/Aperture" as per the troubleshoot guide. Checked the program and the issue still persists. I moved that file back to it's original directory to gain back my old preferance settings.
What now, anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried to remove the Aperture User Preferences, not the Presets/Preferences folder? If the GUI is behaving strangely, a broken "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file may be the reason.
- Quit Aperture and log out and log on again.
- In the Finder choose "Go to folder" from the "Go" menu.
- Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
- Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
- Then lauch Aperture and check again.
The "Basic Troubleshooting" support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805 does not mention the logon/logoff, but working with MacOS Lion it is essential to do so. Due to the changes in the Process System (Automatic Termination) you can never be sure if a program really terminates, when you make it quit, even if it looks terminated in the Dock. Only force quitting, logout, or shutdown will ensure that the program terminates. And since "force quitting" is not recommended for a database program, logoff is the next best option.

Photos Not Showing Up In Media Browser Using OS X Yosemite

Just upgraded to OS X Yosemite which replaced iPhoto with Photos and now when I use iWeb I can not see any of my photos in the media link. All the other links work for Audio, Movies, and Widgets, but Photos will not bring up anything.
Is this an issue with iWeb and OS X Yosemite or a previous bug?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Aperture library does not update in iLife media browser

I had the following problem for over a YEAR now. The *photo browser* does not have current Aperture information available. I looked everywhere for a solution, including this forum and the support database. The proposed solutions were as follows:
1. Turn on iLife sharing and auto-preview creation in Preferences - DUH!
2. Turn off iLife sharing, restart Aperture, then turn it back on - DOES NOT WORK
3. Hold down Command-Option when starting Aperture and rebuild library - DOES NOT WORK
4. Trash ApertureData.xml file - DOES NOT WORK
5. Trash ApertureData.xml as well as Aperture.aplib folder - DOES NOT WORK
I'm sure there were a few more things I tried. I thought I'd ask a "genius" at the Apple store. I realized then (again) that that moniker is gravely misplaced.
The crux of the problem is that the ApertureData.xml is not kept up-to-date by Aperture. That XML file is used throughout the Mac to provide photo browser access and insertion of preview files into Mail, iLife, iWork and other supported programs. Why that file stopped updating is a mystery to me. Some people suggest it has to do with the upgrade from 1.5 to 2.
For all those super-frustrated Aperture users who have had the same issue and cannot fix it using any of the above methods, here's ultimately what I had to do to fix this.
1. Export every one of your projects
2. Create a new Aperture library
3. Import all projects into the new library
The only items that do not transfer are the ones situated at the root level of the library. Those will have to be recreated manually. Since I only had a few smart folders there, it did not affect me gravely. The keyword list should also be created when you create the new library. If not, look for Keywords.plist in the old Aperture.aplib folder.
I spent literally WEEKS looking for this solution, it is nowhere to be found. I cannot be the only one running into that problem. I'd be curious to know if there are others out there with the same problem.
Thanks!

Wow, this is not encouraging. I have a slightly different version of this problem. I had my Aperture library showing up (and updating as I expanded it) in the Media Browser, and all was well until I bought a new Mac and transferred everything over from the old one. For whatever reason, not everything makes it over. Now, on the new Mac, my Media Browser only shows images from Photo Booth--not even iPhoto! I feel your pain and share your ire.
Someone mentioned September (not coming soon enough). Is there speculation that Aperture will be updated (finally!) when Snow Leopard releases?

Media Browser in iWeb not showing Photos

Hi
I have read through many of the threads on here from people who seem to have the same problem and tried many of the suggestions, but still do not seem to have improved matters.
I have the message saying that I need to open iPhoto 2 or later. I am running iPhoto 6 and iWeb 1.1.2. I have an iBook G4 with 1GB Ram.
I know it is nothing to do with the little dot and I have also tried deleting various preference files.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

I am having the same problem in Pages 2, Keynote 3, iWeb, iDVD, iMovie ....etc.
iTunes and iMovie's material will show in the Media Browser in all the above apps. But iPhoto will not. If I move the iPhoto Library to my desktop and open iPhoto it will ask me to build a new library. I do, and in all the above apps I can see iPhoto and the library tree. If I grad some of the picture in the Originals folder on my desktop and put it into the new iPhoto library, it imports them just fine and then I open Pages 2 (Media Browser and there is the iPhoto tree.
Sounds like a solution right? Nope!
When I got back and import the rest of the photos from the Original folder on my desktop the Media Browser "loses" or drops the tree and I am left with the Message, "Open iPhoto 2......"
I then deleted the new iPhoto library, keeping my Originals on the desktop and created yet another blank library, opened Pages 2 or Keynote 3 and again I can see the iPhoto tree.
I went to my desktop and put one folder at a time into the new library via iPhoto, then open up Pages 2 (Media Browser) and I can see the tree. YEAH! Then I went an put another folder from the desktop into iPhoto and the tree in Media Browser goes away.
I have found no reason or particular file to be causing this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this a Media Broswer error or iPhoto? iWeb?
Notes:
I ran the test each time by completely opening and closing Pages and iPhoto. I am running iPhoto 6.0.6 and Pages 2.0.2
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) I

Aperture is not showing up on iWeb or iMovie

My library in Aperture is not showing up on iWeb or iMovie. All that shows up is iPhoto which I dont have much on there so right now my temp fix is transferring the photos I need to iPhoto and then using but shouldnt Aperture integrate the same way.

but shouldnt Aperture integrate the same way.
It definitely should. Have you set Aperture to always share Previews with the iLife and iWorks Appications?
Aperture main menu -> Aperture -> Preferences -> The Previews Tab
Set this to "Share previews with iLife and iWorks", also to "New Projects automatically generate previews" and select a reasonable preview size, the size of your screen would be perfect.
If you already had sharing enabled, update the previews: Photos -> Update Previews
or Photos -> Delete Previews, and then "Update"
If this did not help, you may have a problem, that the Media Browser does not recognize your Library:
Create a new (temporary) Aperture Library: File -> Switch to Library -> Other/new
Then Quit Aperture, open Aperture again,
Switch to your old Library: File -> Switch to Library -> Your main Aperture Library
Quit Aperture again.
Hopefully the iApps now will show Aperture.
If not, maybe there are problems with your Preferences or the Library needs fixing: Then go thru the drill of the Trouble Shooting basics:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
If this does not help, report back.
Good luck

Horizontal Spry Menus are not showing up in ANY browser HELP!

www.tvnewsjunkie.com
I am a novice web designer and I need help!
The above site listed is the site I am currently working on. As you can see the menu bar...is not a menu bar at all but a long list of links along the left side.
HOWEVER, when I click on LIVE VIEW in DreamWeaver everything looks fine.
There should be 7 total menu bars with 7 Dropdown menu options each (except on the bottom menu bar which there will only be 4 I believe)
What am I doing wrong??

Thank you so much for your help!This matter is certainly closed.
I just want to add, however, that somehow my Spry Assets folder was placed somewhere outside of the rest of my files! no wonder I was confused.
Thank you again!

All songs not showing up in media player

I loaded songs onto my 8gb microsd card. I can see that the songs are on the card (on the computer and in the phone) but all of them do not show up under media player. When I explore the memory card, I can play the songs that are not on the media player when I go through the folders so I know they are not DRM protected. How can I get the songs to show up in the media player?

Hi,
If you are able to see the songs on the media card and they play as well, I wouldn't
think the method to move the media is the issue. The issue seems to be the
indexing of the catalogue.
On the Blackberry go to the main media home screen.
Menu key, explore, media card. Find the music folder, menu key show hidden.
Delete the BBthumbs.dat file. Do a battery pull and return to the media screen
and let the phone fully re-index the files. See if you have all files listed.
Thanks,
Bifocals
