IMovie not accepting photos from iPhoto

Trying to put together a dvd and when I drag the photo and try and drop it, its not showing up...music either. I've got my opening slide with a voice over but that's as far as it will go. Anyone else having these problems or any suggestions?

Copy: Use iPhoto Library Manager
But best to rebuild the library:
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 will not accept photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

    To begin with I purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro and messed up somewhere in the installation process.
    I have an iMac
      Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
    With OS X 10.6.8
    iPhoto 8.1.2
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
    and a 13" MacBook Pro
      Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Modle Identifier: MacBookPro 9.2
    With OS X 10.9.3
    AND 2 copies of iPhoto (8.1.2 & 9.5.1) as listed in System Information, which apparently copied over when I copied to MacBook Pro from Time Capsule.
         1. I copied photos from MacBook to the iMac (using a 8 GB Thumb drive) but I was not successful.
              I believe I deleted the photo library on the iMac and tried to copy it back from the MacBook.
         2. When I try to Open iPhoto I get an alert: You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
         You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
    Question 1. How can I return to the original iPhoto program on my iMac?( I have the original iLife DVD).
    Question 2. How can I restore and/or salvage the photos presently on my MacBook Pro and install them on my iMac?

    No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
    You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

  • IDVD 7.0.3 will not import photos from iPhoto

    I created a movie with iMovie 06 and imported it into IDVD 7.0.3. All of my chapters imported fine and I was able to import music from iTunes but when I try to get a photo from iPhoto using the media tab, the program says it is accessing iphoto but the photos do not load (at least in the 10 or so minutes I've waited. Anyone know of a solution?
    Thanks

    OKAY I got it...use slider on right!...Its late...better stop here.

  • Can NOT email photos from Iphoto, message displayed that my email and password is not correct???? Can anyone help?

    Can't email photos directly from iPhoto (MBPro 2012) running OS 10.9.4 I deleted the email & passwords in the iPhoto Preferences since I was given an error message that my email and password didn't match???? reinstalled them and tried again with no luck I have done it before without any problem, does anyone know what's going on?

    Thanks "Old Toad" .... I tried what you suggested: I erased the email accounts, re-booted, re-entered the email settings and changed the the email client to Mail (instead of iPhoto). I still have the message " email server didn't recognize your username/password combination"...... so frustrating and probably something so simple..... but I can't figure it out! I did clean-up everything, cookies/cashes, I did a "Safe Boot", just in case.... still not able to send email via iPhoto, instead I have to drag the photo from iPhoto onto the desktop then attach it to an email.... way too many steps!!!!
    And what email client are you using in the successful (if too many step) process?

  • ITunes not syncing photos from iPhoto

    "Unkown error" messages are becoming usual for iPod users that we are ignoring them because our iPods are syncing fine anyway. Except for error message -208, the new kid on the block! This error message only pops when trying to sync photos from iPhoto (6.0.5 the latest! Syncing photos from any other folder or not syncing photos at all, does not cause any problem. The syncing never has given me this problem (and I have been syncing iPods with pics for a long time!)
    How does Apple answer to this problem? Don't blame the iTunes software, because this is definitively a joint problem you guys have with your software not talking to one another.
    I have rebuilt everything that can be rebuilt in iPhoto (thumbnails, library), I have downloaded and installed all the latest updates. Reset and restored the iPod... done! Reinstall iTunes, check!
    I have posted messages at the iTunes/iPod forum and... no response! Hope the Apple staff is more friendly here... or at least one of the seasoned users...

    You may have figured it out by now. None of the resetting of the iPod or the rebuilding of the iPhoto library (command+option) or permission rebuilding works to solve a -208 error when the error refers to an iPhoto library sync with iTunes. Supposedly, this error occurs with corrupt AIFF files as well. This error will occur on different iPods which try to sync to the same iPhoto library. The iPhoto library is definitely corrupted. Mine was due to a sudden power loss.
    NOTE: I do not "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" under Advanced iPhoto preferences, so that my photos don't have a chance of getting messed up (like error -208s). If you do, the steps below may be different for you. Always a good idea to back up your photos.
    Here is how I fixed it. All the steps may not be necessary. Go to /pictures directory under your user (or wherever your iPhoto library is located), and rename the "iPhoto Library" or whatever you called it to something else, like "iPhoto Library 2". Open iPhoto, and it can't find the library, and asks if you want to find it or create a new one. Tell it to create a new one, and put at least a picture in the library. Sync with iPod, which should work without error and put the picture on your iPod. Close iTunes. Close iPhoto. Now, to save all your pictures (thumbnails) already in the iPhoto library, copy everything BUT "iPod Photo Cache" folder, which seems to be the culprit, from the "iPhoto Library 2" folder into the "iPhoto Library" folder. Open iPhoto, and all your pictures should now be in the library. Open iTunes and sync iPod, and all your pictures should sync out without error.

  • Iphoto 6 not accepting photos from another iphoto 6 user

    1) iPhoto 6 starts up fine, no issues
    2) when I insert the disk from my sister I get an error message "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
    3) After the error message, my iPhoto program shuts down
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Are you sure there are no updates for iPhoto 6 waiting for you to install?

  • IMovie has dragged photo from iPhoto too far off screen that I cant find it

    I have opened a logo within the iMovie viewer screen that had so much black around it that I couldn't figure out which way to drag the photo to find the small logo surrounded by black. After so much dragging around I am not sure which way I need to drag the photo around within the iMovie viewer to have it centered, much less even visible. Apparently, iMovie saves that setting. Now even when I open completed projects where the photo was centered it is not showing it. I think it has the photo so far off to the left, right, below or above that it won't find any of them. I have tried zooming in and out with the photo settings in iMovie. Still nothing. I tried using other pictures very large or very small but am afraid that I dragged the first one around which was about 30" x 30" with the logo only occupying about 4" in the center that I have moved the center too far off the axis that it would be occupying the theoretical space several feet off the center of the viewer and have no idea which way to drag it to get it back into the center. Hope that makes sense.
    Hunter

    Hey,
    Thanks for the quick response. I am trying to bring a logo from a near pinpoint using Ken Burns effect to as big as I can before I transition to a bumper. I did this once before and had the same problem. I finally found the center of the picture/logo by moving it around, trial and error and luck. I have tried to use known good images in place of the logo that went black and it seems they are all showing black as if they are all so far off center they only show black. I have opened finished projects where it shows a similar logo effect and when I go to 'edit photo settings' in the completed project it the image goes (or shows) black.
    Now, any project I go to I can't bring in any picture from iPhoto without it showing just black. If you try using a photo in iMovie from iPhoto and put it off center, it seems the next time you try using another one it's starting point is just as far off center (the same point) as the last one that was moved around.
    Not sure if I explained that correctly.

  • IMovie not importing videos from iPhoto

    I am trying to import videos from iPhoto into iMovie. It is not bringing in ( i.e. creating thumbnails for) anything after Dec 2010. The videos all show up in iPhoto and they were shot with an iPhone. Is there a date range set somewhere that I need to change. I can not even get them if I specifically try and import them one at a time through File-Import-Movies. When I try this method it lets me select the videos, but they still don't show up in my video thumbnails. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Other info:
    OSX 10.8.3 on a 2012 iMac
    iMovie 11 9.0.8

    I open up iMovie and it then imports movies from iPhoto. The problem is it is missing several videos. When I select import video it imports those missing files, so I know it's not a file format issue... Anyone else seen this? Any suggestions on how to get ALL my videos into iMovie?
    iPhoto will import any file that can be played in the QT Player (i.e., that is "playback" compatible). On the other hand, iMovie '08 will only import files that it can edit -- i.e. that are "edit" compatible. (Would you really want to waste your time importing files only to find that you can't do anything with them once they are "in" the application?) Your solution is to convert non-edit compatible files to compression formats that are editable -- primarily DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. You should also note that both audio and video content must be edit compatible. For instance, many AVI files contain M-JPEG video which can be edited along with ADPCM audio which cannot be edited and so such files will not import.

  • Imovie crashes with photos from Iphoto

    I recently purchased a mac computer with the latest software. I wanted to import photos from my Iphoto library into Imovie and make a movie. Each time I try to do so Imovie crashes.
    The first time I had the error and the first time I used Imovie, here is what I did:
    1. I opened Imovie
    2. Clicked on "show or hide photo browser"(the camera icon on the right).
    3. It said it had to create a thumbnail for videos in Iphoto library and did so.
    4. I clicked on the photos to scroll through them.
    5. After looking at a few photos, Imovie crashed.
    All other times I had an error here is what happened:
    1. I opened Imovie
    2. clicked on "show or hide photo browser"(the camera icon on the right).
    3. Imovie crashes.
    If anyone has any thought on what is going on and how to fix this problem please post, Thanks.

  • HT1338 iMovie will not load photos from iPhoto, how do I fix this?

    I noticed you have a viewer plugin from that site. Could you check whether it is set to "click to play"? If so, you could try having it always activated.
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Musicnotes Viewer" and if it says "Ask to Activate", change it to "Always Activate". Then return to the site and reload to see whether it works.
    While you are on the Add-ons page... I noticed you have an extension named Media Watch that many users consider unwanted software or even a virus.
    On the Add-ons page, if you click Extensions in the left column, can you find Media Watch remove it?
    If the Remove button is missing, you probably need to remove some software using the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent additions to the top. This typically will reveal that a bundle of (undisclosed) programs was installed along with something you actually wanted. Remove as much as possible here.
    Then you can supplement your regular security software with the scanners/cleaners listed in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
