IMovie '09 - How do I get photos in from iPhoto? (It's not working!)

Hi,
I have seen posts about difficulties accessing photos in iMovie '09 but can't seem to get it to work for me. I added more photos to iphoto and they won't show up in imovie. I put them in new folders then, but the folders show up with nothing inside. Then I try and drag and drop from iphoto and finder - into all sections of imovie and it still won't work. How do I do this?? I tried editing each photo in iphoto to see if that work work, but no luck still. I really want to add the last few photos to my project!
Thanks for any thoughts or insight!!

Hi,
The problem can be that there is an '&' in the path to your iPhoto-library. I renamed some of my albums in iPhoto. For me this worked, but I'm still using iLife '06.
If this doesn’t help you can also just drag the photo’s from iPhoto into iMovie of iDVD.

How do I get photo's from Iphoto to an hotmail post?

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Hello!
I own a small company and we are having the same problems.
IE9 is not working with the latest flash update infact the update has messed up flash complety for all sites once installed. I went to YouTube eariler and it warned that I needed to install to the new Flash Player upon instaling and returning to YouTube it had the same message. This led us to download both the x86 and x64 versions and useing the uninstaller went through each one and tried the updates. None of the downloadable updates from Adobes site works. I have also loaded up Windows XP in a virtual machine and trying IE 8 with the latest updates and it as well does not work and does the same thing upon updateing it just keeps saying to install the latest update allthough it has allready been done!
Now on the other hand I loaded FireFox and it had the same update and upon restarting the browser after applying the update and it works just fine!
Im on a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate box and ran the WindowsXP in the VM. FireFox was loaded on the main OS and worked fine after said update.
Of Course I have allready double checked the running addons in IE 9 and the files within the /system32/ and all the flash files go there (x86 and x64 were differnt named files)
Im guessing there is something conflicting betwen IE (IE 8 and 9 tested)
Now this is not just happining on this machine but all of our desktops and laptops no one has any trouble with FireFox working
Also this will break all flash objects in IE even localy as now no flash works it acts like it is not installed.
Guess will see how long this takes to get fixed or aknowledged... lol

I solved the problem. Had nothing to do with Mac or iphoto. Problem must be my the internet connection to my provider.

Printing photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 on my printer yeilds garish two color prints. Exporting the photo from iPhoto to desktop then printing from Preview works fine. How can I get good prints from iPhoto?

When printing photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 with my HP inkjet printer the multitude of colors in the photos are reduced to two, Magenta and Yellow. If the photos are exported to my desktop (MacPro) and printed from Preview, the colors in the prints are fine. How do I get iPhoto to print the colors correctly?

Brad
What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

How do I get photos outside of iPhoto?

I recently had to restore my computer and the iOS was updated to mountain lion or something... Anyways, all my photos are inside iPhoto. However with the new version of iOS I can't open that version of iPhoto on that macbook. So I copied the iPhoto icon they were able to save onto the new macbook pro onto an external HD and put it on an older software computer but I couldn't open those photos because the computer I opened it on already has a ton of pictures in iPhoto so it only opens that specific computers iPhoto.
What I want to know is if there's a way to get the pictures out of iPhoto and onto the newly formatted macbook pro? How do I open it?
Also... in all this confusion, when I do try to open iPhoto on the newly formatted macbook pro, it gives me a box that asks me to choose the iPhoto library, however there are no options to choose from. Now what?
Thanks for any and all help.

If I understand you correctly, you had to restore the hard drive of your Computer and the Mac OS X was upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now your old iPhoto version cannot any longer run with the new Mac OS version?
So I copied the iPhoto icon they were able to save onto the new macbook pro onto an external HD and put it on an older software computer but I couldn't open those photos because the computer I opened it on already has a ton of pictures in iPhoto so it only opens that specific computers iPhoto.
Do you mean you copied your iPhoto Library from an external HD to an older computer with an older iPhoto version to view your photos there? But iPhoto does not open this library, because there is already another, older iPhoto Library? Or did you copy the iPhoto Application to this older Mac?
What version of iPhoto do you have on your older Mac? And what is the version of iPhoto that created your current iPhoto Library? And what is the MacOS X version on the older Machine? If the iPhoto version is iPhoto '06 or later, you should be able to switch to another iPhoto Library by double clicking the iPhoto Library icon in the Finder. Or by ctrl-clicking the iPhoto Library and by selecting "Open with" from the pop-up menu to open it in the correct iPhoto version.
What I want to know is if there's a way to get the pictures out of iPhoto and onto the newly formatted macbook pro? How do I open it?
Are you confusing the iPhoto application with your iPhoto Library? Your photos are inside a database package called something like "iPhoto Library.photolibrary" with an icon showing a fan of pictures. The iPhoto application does not contain the photos; you have to find the iPhoto library. Usually this library is in the Pictures folder in your home folder. Have your data in your home folder been restored, when your Mac has been restored? Or are all your data on the external drive that you mentioned?
Is there a newer iPhoto version on your newly installed Mac, compatible with Mt. Lion?
Also... in all this confusion, when I do try to open iPhoto on the newly formatted macbook pro, it gives me a box that asks me to choose the iPhoto library, however there are no options to choose from. Now what?
As I said above - find your iPhoto library. If it is on your external drive, then connect that disk to your Mac before you launch iPhoto. Then the photo library shoud be found.
Please post back with more information, so we can help you better.
