Imovie will not show new photos from iphoto?

     The imovie project I'm working on needs several photos that I recently downloaded.  However when going into the photo section of imovie these new photos do not appear in the album that they have been placed in.
Is there anyway to get them to appear?
Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It's a while since i used v5 but I think this is true.
Whereas with early version of iPhoto there was a separate folder for each album, starting at v5 the app doesn;t do that. Instead the album information is stored as part of the main database file. At heart, it's a direction to the app to display certain pics together. The advantage being that a single pics can be many, many albums with no wasted disk space.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 will not bring in photos from iPhoto

    Hi -- I had Elements 4.0 and just upgraded to Elements 6 (I am running OSX 10.5.4) -- when I go to open a photo it will not let me click on them, they either disappear from the screen or I just simply can't choose a photo. What do I do? Does Elements 6 support 10.5.4? Thank you.

    To clarify the original poster's question, there is, indeed, a problem with Photoshop Elements 6 on MacOS X. I don't know what various versions are involved. It is certainly an Adobe problem.
    Do the following:
    1) Start Photoshop Elements
    2) Select File -> Open
    3) In the Apple File Open dialog, go down to the Media -> Photos link on the lower left and click it.
    4) All your iPhoto content will appear in the right. But if you try to click a file, it will get all confused.
    I'm sure this is the problem the original poster is talking about and it is a problem that Adobe should, but probably never will, fix. Photoshop Elements can certainly open and edit anything in iPhoto, but not via this path. You have to set up Elements as the external editor, or open files via drag-n-drop out of iPhoto.

  • Imovie is not showing my videos from iPhoto

    Hi, i have uploaded some videos from my iPhone to macbook in iPhoto. I want to edit them in iMovie but cannot find my videos in the library, but my pictures are there. The videos usually come up and i have the option to use whichever ones i want. Please can you help me. Thanking you in advance x

    After calling Apple (they were no help and I was disappointed) I kept searching in the Apple support community and found the answer. 
    To get iMovie '11 to show the iPhoto videos under the event library on the bottom left of iMovie, you simply have to empty your iPhoto trash.  Once the trash was emptied, I restarted iMovie and the problem was fixed after iMovie did a search and showed the thumbnails of the videos. 
    Again, this info came from another person on the support community.  Hope this helps someone else.

  • Ipad 2 will not sync edited photos from iphoto

    I've changed some of my photos to black and white or sepia in iphoto.  When I sync them to my ipad 2, they remain in color.  Any ideas?  It's only happened to pictures edited within the past month or so.  Wondering if it coincides with a recent iphoto update.  Anyone seen this?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

    iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air,  it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

    Sorry for the second post..
    I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
    To do that;
    1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
    2. Select Show Package Content.
    3. Click on the Originals Folder
    4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
    Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

  • Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    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. .

  • Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library

    Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
    When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.

    I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
    However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
    When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
    The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
    By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
    Good luck! Hope it works!

  • Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends OK. Mail server is working

    Hello
    As I said above, Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends mails OK. The Mail server is working because my iPad is receiving and displaying incoming messages.
    Your advice is most welcome.
    Thanks!

    Thunderbird successfully displays all of my e-mail accounts in the list of accounts and displays all of the inboxes correctly however it doesn't display the e-mails at my newest address in the unified inbox. To see them, I have to click on that particular e-mail accounts inbox. In every way, this account appears to be set up the same as the all the other ones. The newest e-mail account is a second account through Zoho. What do you think is the problem?

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Trying to sync new photos from iphoto without having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already tried selecting "selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include" then I enter "no Events" with no success the photos still are being synced along with the new photos. I want to be able to add new photo and remove old photos. Please help this has taken a lot of my time trying to figure it out.

    If I knew the answer I would have given it - but since it is not an iPhoto question I suggested
    You might try the iPad forum - or the iTunes forum - this really is not an iPhoto question

  • Ipod will not update new songs from itunes

    My ipod will not update new songs from itunes. I've purchased several songs from the music store, updated my playlists and as added some from my CD collection and they are not transfering from my library to my ipod.
    I've tried numerous configurations under the preferences - ipod menue but still can't get them to transfer.
    One error I occasionally get is "ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the songs in the itunes music library"
    There is plenty of room on my ipod so I can't figure out why. It almost seems as if it is trying to copy all of my songs not just the new ones because all songs in my librbary are checked.

    Thank you for responding.
    Doesn't it have to be on either manual or auto update? What other option is there?
    I will try downloading latest updates.
    I know it will work if I reset it (have done it a few times already). I just hate having to restore factory settings everytime I want to put a new song onthe ipod.
