Help iWeb Media browser doesn't see iPhoto

New to iWeb and just upgraded to MacBook Pro. Have iPhoto all set up with my pictures but iWeb media browser does not show my library. I thought it would be automatic, but is there something I need to set up? I have looked and can't seem to find a fix for this. Appreciate any help.

Did you guys ever get an answer? If not, see this thread, it worked for me and I had the same issue:

Iphoto does not appear in iweb media browser

I am just getting started w/ iWeb anad have 2 questions:
1. I have iPhoto 6.0.6. My iPhoto library does not appear in the iWeb media browser. How do I fix this?
2. Why can't I highlight a movie from my iPhoto library and publish it to iWeb? How do I get a movie from iPhoto to iWeb?
thank you!

Where are your images sourced from? Are they all coming from the same camera for example? It could be that there is actually a white border on your images.
Try opening a few images up in an image editor and checking if there is a trim around the edge.

IWeb media browser include Aperture?

All the tutorials discuss iPhoto. I can only assume that my Aperture library will be accessible. Anyone know if this is accurate?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Aperture works fine. In my media browser, I can see Aperture, iPhoto and Photo Booth. You'll need the update to Aperture 1.5.4 via software update.
Details below:-
- Aperture 1.5.4 is required for compatibility with iLife '08. This update is recommended for all Aperture users.

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$
I could use iPhoto images in Media Browser before the update - is this happening to anyone else?
I have restarted... no change. Maybe I'll try opening and closing iPhoto once.

Thanks for the reply.
I am on Pages 2 also... Hmmm, Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing - New to Pages. I see my Library, Last Roll and all my albums in the Media Browser but when I double click one of them nothing happens - Is there some other way to open them?

Iphoto in pages/keynote/iweb media browser

Hi, I recently deleted and created a new iphoto library. After doing so, iweb, Pages, and Keynote is giving the endless spinning beach ball when I try to access the "photo" portion of the media browser. iDVD and iMovie continues to work fine.
All software have been updated. I've already repaired permissions, trashed the aforementioned programs com.apple.~plists. I've posted this in the iPhoto forum because I believe my problem is related to the deletion/creation of the iphoto library. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

After posting, I did a little more searching and found an answer. It sounds strange but it seems that by having certain types of movies in the Movie folder will cause the media browser to crash. When I deleted my old iPhoto library, I moved my digicam movie files from iphoto to my Movie folder, and apparently that was the culprit.

Media browser doesn't show Aperture but shows long-uninstalled iPhoto?!?

hi,
Now that 3.0.1 seems to have solved most of my problems I can finally concentrate on the details.
My media browser in iLife, iWork and mail.app gives me a choice between photos from Photo Booth and iPhoto. The weird thing is, when I select iPhoto it tells me that iPhoto 5 or higher should be installed, which it isn't as I haven't used iPhoto for years (and never on this computer). And, more importantly, Aperture is missing.
I have already deleted the iApps plist, restarted a couple of times, repaired permissions a quarter of a million times in the last few days, and none of it helped.
I know this is an issue that has popped up more often in this forum and for which a definite solution hasn't yet been found, but I'm hoping the iPhoto part may shine a new light on it allowing somebody smarter than I to solve this.
Thanks in advance. Oh, and thanks to the entire forum for what they did in the last few days. So many great tips and solutions were given by so many people.

This worked:
I created a new library by selecting >file, >>switch to library, >>>other, selected New Library. Then Quit Aperture (have to do this because it did not take until I quit). Restarted Aperture and switched back to my normal library.
Access to my Aperture library in the Media Browser came back right away. Desktop Background also returned. I had to restart the Mac to get the Screen Saver to come back.

IWeb, Media Browser & Photobooth

Good afternoon.
Some students at our school find that the Media Browser will not display thumbnails of their Photobooth images. This happens in all the 'iApps' that use the Media Browser.
I can't see any differences between the configurations of directories and preferences for students who can use the Media Browser successfully and those who can't. We would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think this is possible with Apple's Media Browser. But you could try this free one with which you can browse photos from iPhoto/Aperture/Lightroom library, Pictures folder, *and other predefined folders*. Click on the image:

IWeb media browser question

Hello,
When I open up the media browser in iWeb, the only options to draw pics from are iPhoto and Photo Booth.
Is there any way to have the My Pictures folder or Desktop also included as options?
Thanks!

Media Browser Doesn't Work

Hi, whenever I press the Media browser icon or select 'Show Media Browser' on the view menu nothing happens. All other icons (Inspector, Adjust etc.) work fine. Have I missed something that's changed recently? Any help will be greatly received.

IWeb Media browser shows video but not photos

I just recently discovered that iWeb is not displaying photos on the photo tab, but it is displaying videos on the photo tab.
It is ALSO showing the videos on the video tab.
Any recommendations?

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.
A workaround until you get the problem solved is to use iMedia Browser. It's a free, 3rd party version of media browser that will list all movies (in iPhoto or the Movies folder) along with all photos and audio files. Just select and drag from iMedia Browser's window into iWeb.

BUG? Keynote media browser can't see edited photos.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
After cropping a photo in Camera Roll within "Photos" I am unable to insert the edited photo
in Keynote or Pages via the Media Browser.
The built-in MEDIA browser, inserts the unedited photos in Keynote or Pages for iPad.
Of course, I can "copy" the eidted photo in "Photos", and then paste into Keynote. or Pages, but
how can I force the Keynote Media browser to see the updated photo and not revert to the original?
Regards

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.

Media browser will not load iphoto

Hi
My pages media browser will not show my iphoto pics. It shows my files from garageband, but not iphoto. I tried dragging iphoto into the iwork folder and I also downloaded the ilife support 9.0.3 which was recommended in another post,but neither worked. I am able to drag photo folders, but not iphoto files.
Thanks for your help
Marcia

Hi Marcia
Welcome to the forum.
Have you moved or renamed any of the iLife or iWork suite? The whole workflow relies on being able to find all the files where they are supposed to be.
It is best to leave all of these alone.
You can not drag iPhoto (an application) into the Media Browser.
You can drag in folders of graphics and it will then browse those. Just be aware it is not actually holding any of the images, just providing links to where they are filed.

Premiere Pro CC Media Browser doesn't display a RAID

I'm running PP CC 7.2.0 on a Mac (10.8.5).
I've added an additional RAID (OWC Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 - 16TB) to my Mac Book Pro Retina attached via USB 3.0. However, it does not show in the Media Browser.
Above shows view of my Local Drives.
Above shows view of mouse selected local drives. The OWC drive is "seen" by the Media Browser, yet I can't get it to "mount" as a Local Drive.
I have reset PP CC's prefs with a restart with SHIFT held down. I have unmounted other dirves, guessing that I had too many devices on the USB bus (a silly idea, really - but worth a test) to no avail.
Thoughts?

Hi Alex
I ended up reformatting the OWC drive using File Utility and now it works fine. All I can think is that there's something Premiere doesn't like about how OWC's formatting utility works. The good news is that the drive works great when you finally get it running.

Aperture Referenced Images and IWeb Media browser

I'm new to Aperture, sorry if this is a stupid question, and have a Windows server full of photos which I am referencing into Aperture (rather than copying everything over)...
When I switch to IWeb and use the media browser, it seems that only files which are in the Aperture library , NOT Referenced files, show up. None of the referenced files show.
My expectation is that the Media Browser would also show the referenced photos, just as Aperture does, and then would copy the ones I choose into my IWeb project....It seems this is not the case.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this expected behavior?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thank you!!

Welcome.
Note the media browser only shows files that have previews. So you need to generate previews (which are JPEGs) for your master files. You have numerous options as to size and quality of the generated previews, but this is something you need to do for this to work.
The previews will be stored in the library itself. The masters for which the previews are generated can be either managed (i.e. in the library) or referenced (outside the library).
