Can't access iTunes Library through iPhoto

Hi,
Since I've updated iTunes to 10.5 I can't access it's library using iPhoto. I've created a Slideshow in iPhoto and as I tried do add some music to it iPhoto tells me to run iTunes so it can access its music, yet itunes was actually running and there is no way to access its library through iPhoto.
Futhermore I used to use iTunes albums cover arts as a screen saver. Now I've got a black screen saver with the message that no cover art is present in iTunes though ALL of the present albums have their cover and it perfectly worked before updating to 10.5.
I'm running Lion OSX and also use Beatunes and Tangerine to complete my iTunes library.
Has somebody had the same problem? What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!

Sandy
Doesn't play songs purchased on iTunes either,
probably because of the copyright infringement
issues.
It does. You'll need the latest version of iTunes
and the latest version of Quicktime for this
to work.

Gotcha! It's the QT holding me up them. I have QT Pro and I don't want to update because then I have to PAY again for the Pro part. I learned that the hard way. What a rip off on their part for the users of their Pro version.

  • Can I put iTunes library and iPhoto albums on external hard drive?

    How can I, if there is a way put my iTunes library and iPhoto albums on my external hard drive to free up space on my internal hard drive? If this can be done what are possible issues and do I just access them through my external drive when I need them. Can I sync my iPod to the external drive in order to deal with daily pod casts etc?
    thanks,
    Bill

  • On the ipad2, can I access itunes library without first opening the Itunes store

    I commute with an IPad2 and there are times I cannot pick up an Internet connection. Is there a desktop shortct that would let me get into the Itunes Library without going through the Store, which will not open when there is not Internet connection? That way I could play songs already on the Ipad without depending on an Internet connection.

    I'm a little confused by the wording of your question. You appearnto be talking about your iPad but mention the desktop and accessing your iTunes library through iTunes which sounds as if you're talking about your computer. On your iPad, you access any of your stored music that you have downloaded or synced throughout the iPod app, not the iTunes store. It doesn't require an Internet connection.

  • Can't access iTunes Library on a shared drive

    Here is my problem: I want to access my iTunes library from a shared drive.
    Here is my equipment:
    1. Imac running iTunes 10.6
    2. 1 week old Macbook Air running iTunes 10.6
    3. 1 Timecapsule that is 1 day old, bought with the express purpose of putting my extensive iTunes library on it, and was assure I would be able to stream it.
    4. An Airport express hooked to my stereo.
    The concept was that the Air doesn't really have the capability to hold all my music, but I want to use it as a "remote" to select songs through iTunes and play them on my stereo.
    I did NOT want to leave my iMac on at all times and do homes haring that way.
    Therefore, I followed intructions fonund else where and moved my iTunes library from my iMac to the newly installed shared drive on the Time Capsule.
    I went into iTunes on the Air selected preferences, advanced, and changed the location of the Air's iTunes library to that of the one on the Time Capsule. It sees all the music. I close preferences.
    What happens? Nothing. None of the music is listed on the Air
    I've gone over this again and again, and this SHOULD work. What am I missing here? Should I take the Air and the Timecapsule back to the store?

    Uh, I fear you followed some wrong directions. This is what you should have done:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    It sounds as if in part at least this is what you did, at least when you say you are going to preferences and changing things.
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.  Do this with both computers if the shared library file is on the external drive.
    Note, the file can only be in use by one computer at a time.  You will have to quit iTunes on one computer before opening it on another.

  • Can't access iTunes playlists in iPhoto

    I'm trying to put together a slideshow and the playlists that iPhoto lists are older ones from iTunes, not the current ones I have now. Even if I skip the playlists and try to pick a song from the iTunes library, it defaults to the "You got a friend in me" song. I've thought about trashing the preferences in iPhoto, but I don't want to lose all my iPhoto albums and events.
    Any ideas?

    That sounds more like an issue with iTunes sharing than iPhoto.
    So, in the iTunes Folder you'll find a file called iTunes Music Library.xml
    This is the file other apps read when they integrate with iTunes. Try move that to the desktop, launch iTunes and it will re-create the file. Quit and restart iPhoto. Is that better?
    If not, can other apps see the full iTunes Library? iMovie for instance?
    I've thought about trashing the preferences in iPhoto, but I don't want to lose all my iPhoto albums and events.
    You wouldn't.
    This only records your User options for the app. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Can't see itunes library or iphoto library in imovie

    When creating a project in imovie, you can normally add music from you itunes library. When I click on the Music icon, my itunes linrary of song are not availble to add. There is a message that I need to open itunes to see the songs. I have itunes open and it does not help.
    I have the same issue with iphoto, the images are not availble to selected when I click the camera icon to add photos to imovie. Very strange.
    So far, I have repaired disk permissions, reinstalled imovie, created a new iphot library, new itunes library, restarted each application several times, restarted the computer.

    I needed to create a new user account on the computer. Went to system preferences, users and group, created a new users with admin rights. I then opened itunes and signed in, opened iPhoto and recopied my images, opened imovie and my music and images were available again.

  • Can't Access iTunes Library on a Different Disk, but Same Computer

    In order to avoid conflicts, I installed FCP X on a separate start-up disk and kept FCP Studio on its original start-up disk.  Since FCP X is now on a different start-up disk, however, I can no longer access my iTunes Library from within it and the music I already own.
    How is the best way to gain access to the Library?  Is there a way to set a pointer to it?  Does it have to be duplicated in its entirety and moved to the new start-up drive?  What is the process I need to follow?
    Any help appreciated.

  • Cannot access iTunes library in iPhoto nor in iMovie

    I am using a macpro retina (although I had the same problem with older mac pro) with iphoto 11 and itunes 11. When trying to make a slideshow in the iphoto app my itunes library or playlists do not appear in music pane.  I asked this question before and go some instructions which led me to drag iTunes Music Library.xml to desk top make an adjustment but it did not work.  I still have iTunes Library.xml page on my desktop.  How do I fix problem and what should I do with iTunes Music Library.xml on desktop?  I am using iTunes 11.1.3 (8)OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and iPhoto 11.9.4.3

    I got this problem solved with a combination of suggestions from discussions here and other fixes conducted at an Apple store one to one

  • Can't access itunes library on new computer???

    We recently purchased a new Mac computer. Prior to this all of our music for Itunes was stored on our external hard drive. Now...when we put the external hard drive on the new computer..we cannot access any of the libraries on itunes.  If you plug in a device all of the music/apps etc show up, but when you just open the computer up and click on itunes...we have nothing in the library.
    So confused on what to do...does anyone know?

  • Can't access Itunes Library in Front Row

    Well I sure am confused. I downloaded a TV show from Itunes last night, but could not access it from Front Row. Then I noticed that I cannot access any of the music in my Itunes library from Front Row. It simply is not listed. The only thing that is listed is "Itunes top TV Episodes". The only way I have been able to access stuff is putting it in my movies folder in the sidebar of my Finder window. Shouldn't I be able to access something I download from Itunes instantly, without moving the file anywhere?
    Another weird thing is when I went to Finder>Help and typed in "Front Row" it said no results found. Other threads in this forum lead me to believe that there is a manual built in to the computer. Mine is hidden or gone somehow?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!! I love my macs, but this kind of stuff drives me nuts!
    I have Front Row 1.0
    Itunes 8.2.1
    OS X 10.5.7

    Switched it to manual , all's OK . Thanks
