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.

I can't see IPhotovideo in IMovie library. Agnes

I can't see IPhotovideo in IMovie library. How to do?

Tengo el mismo problema. iMovie no importa los vídeos directamente desde iPhoto, y antes sí lo hacía.
Lo que he hecho es hacerlo de forma manual. En iPhoto, seleccionas los vídeos que quieres llevar a iMovie y seleccionas Mostrar en el Finder. Seleccionas los vídeos y los arrastras hasta iMovie.
Es una forma cutre de hacerlo pero funciona.
Saludos.

Can't see photos taken on iPhone on my iPad

I have done the setup for iCloud using the settings screens on my iPhone and iPad but can't see photos taken on one device on the other. What am I missing?

Check Settings>iCloud to be sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account with photo stream enabled. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not earlier photos. They are uploaded when the camera is closed, you are connected to wifi, and your device has at least 20% battery life remaining.

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. .

Why can I see photos in photo view, but now event view?

Why can I see photos in photo view, but not in event view. The event shows up, but when I open the event, it says there are no photos in the event. The only way I can actually open a photo in the event is to be in photo view, and open the photo from that view.

I can't see photos on facebook. This is not for Mozzilla 4. I had the prob from before so I use Chrome although I love Mozilla

I can't see photos on facebook

Hi Mariah ~
It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
I'll do the same for you.
Enjoy your day and good luck.
Shaunn

Ah, you had Photoshop 7.0 working, and now it's not. I see that as a separate issue to updating it. I'm not sure why it would ask you to update it.
Do you know whether you have 7.0 or 7.0.1 at this point? You might be able to do a Properties function on Photoshp.exe and see that info.
You could make an attempt to reset Photoshop's preferences to defaults. Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.
Only other thing that comes to mind is to use Windows System Restore to restore back to a restore point where Photoshop was working, or restore from a backup (you do make backups I hope).
If that fails, and you need to do a fresh install but no longer have the original disk and serial number I'm afraid you may be out of luck. There's no place I know of from which to download a fresh full copy of Photoshop 7.0.

How can I see photos from my photo stream on my pc with the iCloud application installed on my pc.

I want to download the photos from my iCloud onto my PC. I installed the iCloud for PC and can open it, but cannot figure out how to see the photos. Photo Streaming in turned on for the iCloud.

Check Pictures>Photo Stream>My Photo Stream. Note: when you turn it on you will only see photos from the last 30 days as photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. If you want to stream older photos to your PC, create a shared photo stream containg the photos and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

Can't see photos copied over from old mac - any ideas?

I copied my photo library over from my old mac (same method as I used for my iTunes library, which worked) to my new one. I just dragged out the original empty library folder and put the one from the old mac in its place. Non of the photos showed up.
I figured I would deal with it later and have since added photos from my camera. I am now trying to see the older photos but no luck. My photo library, seen from within iPhoto, has albums for the years listed but without the pictures.
I did the rebuild but that didn't change anything. I tried importing them but iPhoto tells my I can't import them since they are already in the library.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks,
David

Do you still have a copy of your original library from the old Mac?
If so try the following:
1 - copy it again to the Pictures folder.
2 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
3 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and select that library folder to open.
Now see if the album gets converted correctly. You can move your other iPhoto library folders to the desktop temporarily until you see if this procedure is any more successful.
Also update to 10.4.9 with the COMBO updater and update Quicktime to the latest version, 7.1.5. Of course repair disk permissions afterward with Disk Utility.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't see photos of iPhoto through my Apple TV after moving the iPhoto library to my Airport Extreme Disk. It keeps "loading user's library" forever...

Hi there,
some days ago I purchased an Airport Extreme router with disk to move my iphoto library there and free space of my crowded macbook pro.
Everything was working well (iphoto takes a little bit longer to start and quit) but now I can't see my photo library through my apple tv.
It keeps loading the library forever.
Is there any problem doing that?
Thanks
jm

Help,
Thanks for the quick answer and for the welcome.
Yes I selected it in the iTunes sharing options (in fact several times, with resets in between just in case)
I think that it's related to the size of the library (more than 8 gb) and e fact that is in a remote disk (in the AirPort Extreme)
Hope anyone has the solution :-))
Thanks again!

ITunes can't see photos in iPhoto albums

Hi everybody,
I've just got my iPad yesterday and I'm loving it.
Alas, I can't seem to sync my iPhoto albums. They display in iTunes correctly, they all have photos in (in iPhoto) but when I select them to sync across, it states that there are zero photos in the albums.
Its also the same thing with my iPhone as well. I've the 3G model and can't sync photos to that either.
Any ideas?
I've already tried deleting the iPod cache within the iPhoto folder in the hope that it would rebuild itself.
I've also tried creating a new album, and put photos in, but iTunes can't even see this, despite restarting my computer.
It seems that iTunes is displaying the albums, but not seeing the photos at all.
If anybody could help, that would be fantastic.
Cheers
Adrian
PS... I'm running a new 15" MacBook Pro, with Snow Leopard, latest version of iLife, with everything clean after a full new reinstall last week.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.
