AVI items in iPhoto do not load in iMovie

Hi...I'm having trouble working with two large .AVI items. They are saved in iPhoto but do not show up in the Event Library of iPhoto videos when I open iMovie. Could this be because they are too large (29 and 81 MB respectively)?
I converted these files from a DVD using "Hand Brake" and saved them to Desktop before dragging and dropping them into iPhoto. They are titled MOV1.AVI and MOV2.AVI. I have plenty of other .AVI items in other iPhoto folders that load just fine in the iMovie Event Library of iPhoto videos.
Anyone have any ideas?

AVI is a "file container format" -- NOT A COMPRESSION FORMAT! So the question becomes, what compression formats did to put into the AVI file. If you look closely, you will note the only AVI codec options available are:
MPEG-4/MP3
MPEG-4/AC3
AVC/H.264/MP3
AVC/H.264/AC3
iMovie '08 performs its editing based on the compression format contained in the file and not its extension or container type. iMovie '08 will import and edit MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC files in an MOV, MP4, or M4V file container but it will not accept video clips containing either MP3 or AC3 audio. Reconvert your files in HandBrake using the iPod or TV preset which is compatible with iMovie '08.

IPhoto library not loading since lion upgrade

Hi,
Since upgrading to lion, iphoto will not load the iphoto library anymore. iPhoto starts with the error message "your iphoto library is either in use by another application or you don't have permissions...". iPhoto was perfectly running on 10.6 (a few days ago) and luckily i have some time machine backups from before the lion upgrade.
So i tried
-to start iphoto with option+control and rebuilt the library. Unfortunately it stops with item 9000 or something.
-tried to rebuild the library with iphoto library manager, but it causes so many problems with duplicates that i stoped the process. I guess it would probably fix the library but too much hassle.
-tried to restore the library from time machine -> same error message
Has anyone experienced same behaviour after upgrading to lion? It's too bad i can't just restore from the backup (i thought that's the point of having it) but may lead to the idea, that the iphoto application might be corrupted. I tried to download the ilife image from my university's software distribution server again, but last but not least, lion does not support the server version anymore "the version of server you are trying to connect is not supported...." So no download right now...
Thx for any help and hints
regards, dorian

Hello,
I am having this extremely frustrating problem as well. My iPhoto was working perfect two days ago and today after installing an upgrade (i always keep up with them) it refuses to load and all i get is a white gear looking shaped loading symbol.
Help anyone....??
Thanks!

IPhoto Will not Load even after reinstall

All of a sudden, iphoto will not load....I receive this error:
Iphoto cannot be loaded because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure that iphoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
I reinstalled iphoto from the disk (so now I have iphoto and iphone (original) .....i reboot and then try to access the new iphoto....same error. iphoto library appears ok. I can still attach a pic via "photo browser" button in email.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library. When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it. I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
recreate the library I believe. It's been a while so I cant remember
exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
have had no problems with it.

Iphoto will not load

Iphoto will not load and has not opened since my Mac book pro was new. It will just stick in the start up mode with the pinwheel spinning, (no color, large wheel) I am running os x lion 10.7.2, updated iphoto software to 9.2.1 and tried trashing iphoto.plist file with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Keith

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Iphoto library not loading

Iphoto has not loaded since about 44 unwanted photos were sent to trash from the library file in pictures. I have since read the piece on tamper. But can anyone tell me if and how I can fix this? The files are still in 'trash'. Cheers.

Hope someone out there could help me out. I was working with iPhoto trying to import pix onto my new iMac G5 from a card reader. Kept trying to load but nothing happened. Turned off the computer to try again. When I restarted it the iphoto icon was gone from the dock (instead I had a icon that was white sheet of paper with an"A".) When I opened the new icon, I recieved the message "YOu cannot open the application "iPhoto" because it may be damaged or incomplete." Can't find my pix; not in the trash, either. I tried to rebuild a library but now the new library is empty. Can't figure out what happend to my 3000+ pix . I also went to my external hard drive and the pix aren't there either. HELP! Anyone? (I am a brand new Mac user after using PC for 20+ years.) Please tell me there is hope.

Iphoto does not load into iDVD- too many photos?

Recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.6 and iLife '09. Ever since, iPhoto will not load into iDVD (iphoto 8.0 and iDVD 7.0.3). When trying to open current and new projects in iDVD, the project opens, and plays, but the photos from iPhoto never load, the loading icon just spins on and on. When I open a new document, the same thing happens. Tried trashing preferences in both programs, reinstalling iLife, and reparing permissions. All software updates are current. Still won't work.
I am starting to wonder if it has to do with the number of photos I have in iPhoto, which is about 4000. The photos loaded with no problem until I upgraded. Could it be that the upgrades in iPhoto just make the files too large, and it's too much to expect that many photos to load? Does anyone know how many photos is too many,— or can you suggest anything I have not tired that might work?

This is from Mac Help. It is a good idea to create another account to use in troubleshooting situations such as this. After you create the new account, open iDVD from that account. Try creating a small project to see if you are having the same problems. Post back with your results.
_Adding a new user account to your computer_
You can create individual user accounts for each person who uses your computer. Each new user has a separate home folder and can adjust his or her own preferences without affecting other users.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Accounts.
If some settings are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password.
Click Add and type the user's name.
If you don't want to use the short name generated automatically, type a new short name. (Once the account is created, you won't be able to change the short name.)
Type the user's password in the Password and Verify boxes.
Type a hint to help the user remember the password if they have trouble remembering it at login.
Click Parental Controls and select options to determine what the user can do with the computer.
If you change your mind while you're creating a new user account, click Delete to cancel.

Reloaded snow leopard, iphoto does not load

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you sure the version of iPhoto you have is Snow Leopard compatible?

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Does anyone have advice on how to resolve iPhoto libary not loaded error? Tried reinstalling Snow Leopard and iLife '11 numerous times and it didn't help

Did you delete the receipts with iPhoto in the file name before reinstalling iPhoto?
You have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Iphoto 11 not loading from nikon

I am using iphoto 11 Recently when I try to load from my nikon, all I get is the spinning wheel. It sees the camera but will not load pictures as it has done on so many occasions. I have a mac book pro with mac os x 10.6.8 Any suggestions. Thanks Thom

Give image capature (in your applications folder) a whrill or if your camera mounts to thge desktop drag the photos to a desktop folder and import from there
Once you have the photos safe use the camera's format command to reformat the memory card - this is a good work flow - never have iphoto delete your photos but import them and after at least one backup cycle use teh format command to erase and renew the card's format

IPhoto will not load, what can I do?

I have a Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and iPhoto 11' and version 9.2.3. I have been using my iPhoto quite frequently to upload pictures and all of a sudden, when I click to open iPhoto, the loading symbol will continue to circle, but iPhoto will not open. I am not at risk of losing my photos because I save them to a separate location as well, but I am now unable to load my photos from my camera to my iPhoto, which is a huge incovenience. Also, I am currently abroad so I am unable to go to an Apple store and receive help from the Genius Bar. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried to see if I have any sofware updates available, but there are none. I'm not very good at computers so I am afraid to try anything at the risk of making things worse. Thank you!

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called Originals (in iPhoto 09 or earlier) or Masters (in iPhoto 11)
Drag it to the Desktop.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
From the recovered Masters/ Originals folder, drag the individual Event folders to the iPhoto Window to import them to the new Library.
Important: This is a last resort solution. It will be as though you never used iPhoto before. No edits, no keywords, no albums, no books, no slideshows etc. Just the original photos.
Takeaway message: You always need an up-to-date back up of your iPhoto Library
