Can't add photos to iMovie

I have tried to click on one photo and drag to add or click on multiple photos to add. Once, when I selected multiple photos, iMovie only took 1 of the photos. Another attempt, it took 2 photos only of the batch. With each time, however, iMovie tells me it is adding the number of photos I select but the photos do not appear in the project. Now it won't add any photos whatsoever. I bought my new MAC in 2012. Do not know the version of the operating system. I do have iMovie version 9.09 but it was not in the drop down menu provided.

Hi
There can be several reasons to why iMovie ill behaves.
• Pref files got corrupted - Medicine: trash them
• The movie project got corrupted files within it - throw them away and replace with fresh new ones
• Free Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk is to low (very common origin): I never go less than 25Gb - if You got less than 5Gb all strange things might happen
• Photo file format - I only use - direct from iPhoto or .jpg - never ever .bmp or other alient formats - all converted to .jpg
and much more
As more info You provide - as easier it will be for us to figure out what's the problem

How can i add photos to iMovie trailer

How can you add still photos to trailer in IMovie on IPAD2?

Currently the only way is to make in iMovie movie, and add the photos you wanted to use.
Export this to the camera roll, and import that video into the trailer.
Bit of a workaround sadly.

How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

Hi,
It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.

HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again. How could save them onto my iMac?

I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1). Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad, iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
WHOA.
I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
Many thanks!

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Thanks for your quick response. I thought I had tried that but I must not have because it worked perfectly.

How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

You have a couple of options:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

Can't add photos to nano

I just got my black 4gig a couple hours ago and I love it, I got music added to it all right but I have 27 MB left and I can't add photos to it.
I get through all the steps and select about 6 photos to add (not full size) but then I get an error message saying my iPod cannot be updated (error -208). I installed the software and did iPod update and I have iPhoto 4.0.3
Any suggestions please?

Please be patient - I am not trying to mess you up.
From the nano specs online:
"Mac system requirements:
Mac OS X v10.3.4 or later"
Your signature says your running OS X 10.0.x, so you might need to upgrade your OS (key word MIGHT).
From the nano manual (see link below):
"You can download photos from a folder on your hard disk. If you have a Mac and iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, you can download iPhoto albums automatically. " - You should be OK on your iPhoto version from the version you said you are currently running.
Try dragging a couple of photos from your iPhoto library to a folder on your computer. Then try to add the photos to your iPod with the alternative method of selecting photos using the 'From Folder' option and use the folder/photos you have set aside.
See if you can then add them this way or get the same error.
Online reference (just in case you need it):

See chapter 3.
Best of luck,

Sounds likr you may have a corrupted databae. Have a read of this article for help in recovering the situation:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107947
iPhoto will not import pics that are in the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible precaution against duplication.

Can I add photo stream albums to SkyDrive

Can I add photo stream albums to my SkyDrive albums?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos in the camera roll are those which (in most cases) are taken on the device, the photostream album contains photos which have been synced from photostream in the cloud, which can include photos from your camera roll as well as from other devices using photostream. Photostream photos can be lower resolution than the same photos in the camera roll.
Photos in photostream can be edited and saved to other albums.

How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

In PE11, How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

RLHeflin
Thanks for getting your details posted. Good job.
You further explained
I am simply wanting to “overlay” a new visual element without disturbing the underlying audio.
A classical way to do a Premiere Elements Overlay is to hold down the Ctrl key of the computer main keyboard and drag the new clip over the area of the one you want to replace on the Timeline. That should not do anything but replace one portion of the video on the Timeline. No change in duration video or audio track if you are dealing with video linked to audio.
If you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, I am envising a scenario where you want to add to (not replace) some Timeline content.
A just in case note, if you have video on Video 1 and 2 and the video in 2 does not have transparent areas in it, then all you will see is the Video 2 content. I believe that Hunt eluded to that concept as a possible technique for what you might be doing.
Another just in case, if you have not seen the following Adobe documentation on arranging clips, you might be interested in the following link

Can not add photos to my photo stream.

This morning I started my computer and got the following error.
I get the error on my PC
My Photo Stream can't be updated
iCloud Photos can't update because you don't have permission to add files to download folder. Open iCloud to pick another folder.
then I get the error:
The upload folder for iCloud Photos is missing
The upload folder for iCloud Photos had been moved or deleted. Open iCloud to pick a new folder.
As far as I know, nothing has changed on my computer. I can not add anything to the iCloud Photos folder.

unable to add individual photos to individual albums.
Best I can tell it's either because that wouldn't work on the iPad, or they haven't enabled it.
Select a Photo (or Photos) in the Photo Stream and click the + button on the toolbar. You can then choose which Albums to Add it to.

Can't see photos in iMovie 11

I've been working on video/photo slideshow on my iMac (leopard, iMovie 11) for the last couple of weeks. Minor problems but overall going smoothly. Today I'm working on my brand new MacBook Air (lion, iMovie 11) practicing some iMovie techniques. I've been dragging photos into iMovie from iPhoto. After dragging I cannot see the photos in the viewer/full screen. All is see is a black screen. Please help.

I know how iMovie works. I've used it before without any issues. It seems like ever since I upgraded to snow leopard and iLife '11 iMovie never shows files imported. I don't know what the issue is and I can't find any solutions anywhere. Sometimes I will see the imported file in my Movies>iMovie Events>Event Folder but the file does not display at all in the iMovie app itself so I cannot edit.....
I'm thinking about either downgrading to Leopard or iLife '09 to see if either one fixes my problem.
