IMovie Stopped allowing import of photos from iPhoto

Working on a client project. Completed an iMovie yesterday using still photos. Works fine. Can play it back today, etc. Started a new movie using the same content (different subject but iPhotos as content). I cannot import them into the movie. The status bar shows the import taking place, there is a burp noise, and the photo does NOT appear in the timeline. It started out being unable to render a transition. Now I can do nothing. reinstalled iLife to see if that helped. It didn't. Currently going to another machine to try it there. But right now, my Mac will not let me do this. It DOES allow them to import as clips. All very odd and keeping me from doing my work. Looking for HELP!!!!!!!!
Thanks

Required complete redo of the movie - the file itself was somehow corrupted

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 into Aperture v3.0

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 v9.4.3 into Aperture v3.0. When I select import I get a message saying Aperture cannot import libraries from version earlier that iphoto 7.1.5 and tells me to upgrade to a lter version of iphoto. Advice ?

I am on MAC OS X Version 10.8.5
Is Aperture 3.0 still correct or have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4.5? Only Aperture 3.4.5 can import iPhoto 9.4.3 libraries.
As I said above, you can download the updater for Aperture here:
Use this link: Aperture 3.4.5

How did you import them?
Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.

IMovie can't see my photos from iPhoto anymore after upgrade.

Can anyone help with allowing iMovie to see my photos I have imported previously from iphoto?
After upgrading to the new iMovie i have alot of photos in the project saying 'Missing file, try importing original source media.
They were once all there in a finished project but now are gone.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

After I import my photos from my phone to iphoto, i always move my pictures to a folder i made in my documents
You realise that this is just wasting space, right?

Can't import some photos from iPhoto to iPad

I can't import some jpg from iPhoto to iPad. It gives me an error message that the photo can't be displayed on an iPad. There also doesn't seem to be a way to reformat them in iPhoto. They are just jpegs downloaded from a digital camera.

Deleting the photo cache from the computer and then re-trying the photo sync has worked for some people - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is described on this page

Importing edited photos from iPhoto

What settings do I need to change in order to import only my edited versions of photos from iPhoto into aperture 3?

thanks for the reply,
I certainly understand your point of course.
Well, I thought since they were already in iPhotos original library, why have them saved twice. I do understand that they would be easily retrieved and used if in Aperture for sure. However, I guess when Aperture imports them or iPhoto exports them to Aperture, they are sent with edited version along with the original. I then figured out how to use the stacks in Aperture. I was going to make a slideshow and noticed that when I pressed the slide show that it was adding both the edited and orignal version to the slide show, so all I had to do was to close all Stacks and it worked as I wanted.
But I quess I would like to know if there are now two versions of the originals taking up space on my HDs, one in iPhotos library and one in Aperture. I have 16,000 photos and want to save space on my hard drives. So the next question would be what happens to the orignal library in iPhoto when you export your iPhoto library into Apertures library?
Thanks,

Importing edited photos from iphotos to typepad

Hi
I'm a complete Mac newbie, currently with growing pains as I move from Linux & Windows to Mac...
Using an ipod to take pics for my web site. Before getting my mac, I used to update them in photoshop, edit them for size & quality, and import the saved edited file from my PC to the typepad-hosted web site.
Now, I plug my ipod into my new mac, import the photos into iphoto and crop, touch-up colors for the photos etc using iphoto. When trying to import the edited photo into typepad, I select my photo from a list of files under Media -> Photos. The thumbnail photo shows up as the edited version - ok, that's what i want. So I import it into typepad, but what gets imported is the original version of the photo, not the edited one that's been cropped, enhanced, renamed etc.
I understand that iphoto is "non-destructive" but how do I get the edited files into my web site. I am looking to create a streamlined process as I'll be doing this a whole lot.
Thank you for your help.

My web browser is Chrome version 36.0.1985.125.
From within Typepad, I try to upload a photo into my web page. Insert Images -> Choose file which pops up a dialog that lets me pick files from my computer.
I've gone two ways here.
1. When I go to Media -> Photos and select the edited photo I want, the photo shows up as a thumbnail, with the edits I made and the changed name. However, when I then select it and load it into the Typepad post, the original un-edited photo gets imported up with its original name. Not what i want.
2. When I instead select Favorite -> Documents and select the edited photo which I previously exported out of iPhoto into this Doc folder, the edited photo gets imported with its changed name. So now I have a workaround or maybe it is by design: export the pics if you want them loaded in Typepad.
Now iPhoto has tighter integration with Flickr, so I can simply Share the photo from iPhoto to my Flickr account and the edited version of the file gets uploaded to Flickr. No need to do an export. That's nice, but what I'm looking for is better integration with Typepad/Wordpress.
By the way, the same applies to Google Drive. If I select Upload from within Google Drive and go to Media -> Photos, the edited photo shows up as a tumbnail with the new name I gave it during my edits. When I select it to upload, the original un-edited photo gets uploaded.
Your earlier explanation made me better understand why this is. The iPhoto Previewer tricks us into thinking the edited file is there for us/apps to upload, but it's a virtual update. There's no file behind it to serve up to the app, be-it to Typepad or Google or whatever. iPhoto integrated with Flickr b/c I imagine the demand was there - it's a pain to have to export edits in order to use them. That's why I was asking if a "plug-in" exists that would essentially export the file I selected. But I can't find them anywhere so I'll have to use a workaround for now.
I'm having another issue with exporting a group of edited pics... not all the changes get exported. But I'll wrestle it on my own for now and post if I get stuck.

IMovie '09 Won't Load Photos from iPhoto

I recently upgraded to iLife '09 at work and at home. My iMac at wok does fine with the up grade but iMovie on my intel based MacBook Pro won't load photos from iPhoto. Anyone else have this problem or can suggest what my problem may be? My software is up to date and other programs are working OK.

Hello, i have also had the same issue. Basically when i click on the photo icon in imovie 09 the library doesn't show,it's just blank but also my itunes library isn't showing up either. The only way i can get photos and music into imovie is by dragging them into imovie but thats not the way the program is meant to work and would also like to fix this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IMovie doesn't import all movies from iPhoto - at least one solution

I noticed that iMovie 08 imported my movies from iPhoto, but strangely not all of them. A quick search of the support forums indicated many others were having the same issue.
After comparing file attributes of movies that were importing successfully into iMovie versus movies that didn't show up, I found that a rogue character ("&") was preventing iMovie from importing the file properly.
Renaming the title in iPhoto does not resolve the issue, since the file name (in Finder) remains the same. However, if I make a copy of that file outside of the iPhoto Library, rename it in Finder, then re-import it back into iPhoto, then iMovie will see it. I didn't rename the movie file inside of the iPhoto Library for fear of corrupting the library structure.
I found this to work at least with my .avi files. I still have the same issue as everyone else with iMovie not importing .mpg files that play properly in iPhoto.

Good thinking! The only way to change the filename in iPhoto is to export the movie file, import it back in, copy over comments, keywords from the old to the new movie, and then delete the old movie.

Import all photos from iPhoto library

With Yosemite 10.10.3, I was able to import and upload all my photos from current iPhoto Library 2014 onto iCloud and into Photos App. But I have another iPhoto Library called iPhoto Library 2013 which contains all my 2013 photos. I had to stop that as earlier I had only 128GB SSD on my mac. Now, is there a way to get all those photos into the new Photos App?
I mean, 2014 library alone took me 2 weeks to get it all uploaded. If I switch library, it will start all over again I am afraid and it may eventually never merge into one library.
If answer is no, is there a utility that can open up my older iPhoto Library and pull all my photos out by events ? That way I can extract all the photos to external drive and then import them into my current library.
I even asked at apple store and the so called Genius said "Google it" !
Please let me know if you faced such a problem and if so what you recommend is the best solution!

It may indeed be better to start again with an empty iMac, but i am suggesting this for additional reasons. Do you need another identical iPhoto Library eating up space on your new Mac. Aperture is well able to better organise the library than iPhoto ever was.
Getting started in Aperture in a way you can continue to build on is the hardest thing to get correct at the beginning. When you do, it is a very easy matter to bring in new work in to Aperture from the camera, to build it forward in to the future, or bring in old stuff to organise retrospectively in to the past, and combine both in a way that works for you. Rather than having the trouble that seems to occur frequently here, when folks transfer to Aperture with iPhoto. Don't bring too much iPhoto baggage and forget the term Event.
Aperture is a whole new world and may be a little alien at first, and this frustrates quite a few people when switching. Try out some library structures without images. When it is to your liking then start to populate it with some images in to a nice new and powerful photo library that you know works, and in the way you want, and have got familiar with. The transition should be much easier that way.
This little snippet of information is critical to start with:
Folders hold Projects. ie Folder: 2010. Sub Folders by Season or Month. Project: Vacation, Birthday, Children, etc... Now you want the best children images together in one place, from birth to present. Albums and smart Albums do this, with the aid Powerful search tools.
I hope this helps a little. Allan

How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.
