IMovie won't show my pictures

I'm trying to place a still picture in an iMovie for my iPad 3 but iMovie does not recognize any pictures that are on my camera roll or in the albums I've synced to my iPad. Can anyone help with this?

No, nothing. They just disappeared. I uninstalled and re-installed iMovie and there was no change.

Help! My iPod nano refuses to play songs, won't show album pictures, etc.

I'm not sure what I did or how I did it, as I just got my iPod nano for Christmas and am fairly new to this new technology bit, but whenever I go from Music, to Songs, or try to play a particular song in general, it won't, it just goes on and on and won't stop or play any song, except for the two I just recently updated, and it won't display the album pictures, or only will sometimes, of this one band. I'm sorry if that sounded confusing - it's the only way I know how to explain it: I press play, and it just goes on it own free will through the songs like it's shuffling, will only show little white boxes where the album pictures should be, and when it reaches the last song just goes back to the menu area. All of this disincludes the two songs I updated after I discovered this problem, thinking maybe somehow that would work - they play fine.
It's very frustrating, because I have no clue what's going on or what to do about it. I went through the entire troubleshooting page, and nothing seems to describe my unusual problem. I tried resetting it, by 'toggling' the hold button, then holding the menu and select button until the apple logo appears on the screen. Please, please, help me.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Ok, if resetting it hasn't worked you could try a restore:

I see you're on Windows 98 - according to the Tech Spec that is not supported:
Windows system requirements
* PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
* Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

I have bought pages and it all was going well until I downloaded the update. Now my files (which are mainly brochures) won't show the pictures in opening screen. So I have over fifty documents and they all show the pages logo on them instead of the pics

I used pages for brochure documents and copied pictures to them, after I downloaded the upgrade the documents only show the pages logo on the pages from the opening screen. Once you click on them the pictures appear but it takes me ages to do this so they all show. HELP

Tupelo, there are many, many threads here in the Apple Discussions about the many issues with Pages 5, and the multitude of features that have been lost in this supposed "upgrade." Like Jerry, I'd recommend you get yourself back to Pages 4.3 until Apple comes to their senses.
So...first off: do you have Pages 4.3 still installed? If you do, it will be in an iWorks '09 folder in your Applications folder. If you bought Pages 4.3 on its own from the App store, your copy of Pages 4.3 will have been overwritten by the new Pages 5.
If you don't have the iWork '09 folder in your Applications folder, do you have a backup with it installed there? If so, you'll want to revert to that version. I believe that you can drag and drop the older version of Pages (and Keynote and Numbers if you have those as well); I'd recommend that you create a folder called "iWorks '09" in your Applications folder and stick them in that.
Also, if you have a reasonably current backup, you will be able to recover your documents created in Pages 4.3. Whatever you do, do NOT open them in Pages 5 - once you do, the features you may have used will be gone and reverting won't recover them.
You may also be able to revert to earlier versions, once you get Pages 4.3 back on your HD/or locate it and so you can use it to open Pages documents. In order to try that, in Pages 5, go to File->Export->Pages 4.3 document and then close Pages 5, and open Pages 4.3. Open the document you just exported. Now go to File->Revert and see if you can find an earlier, pre-Pages 5 version. If you can do that, you should be able to fairly painlessly recover all your messed up docs. Of course, if you have a current backup, it may be faster to simply recover the undamaged originals from the backup.
Pages 5, if installed on your system, will be the default for opening all .pages documents. You therefore have to do something to prevent that (Get Info and Change All won't stick). Either move Pages 5 entirely off your HD (and to move it, you'll need to put it into the trash first, as simply dragging it somewhere just creates an alias - once you drag it into the Trash, you can drag it to an external drive, for instance) OR you can create a disk image by sticking it in a folder and then using Disk Utility->File->New->Disk Image from Folder. Toss the Pages.app (v 5) in the trash and then any time you want to open Pages 5, simply click on the disk image. It turns itself back into a disk image when you quit. And it won't be the default app for .pages docs when it's a disk image. Or you can simply toss Pages 5 in the Trash entirely. The only reason I've kept my iWork 2013 apps as disk images is in case Apple actually does upgrade them to recover the lost features and perhaps changes its freebie policy along the way. Or...someone might send me a Pages 5 document. They can't be opened in Pages 4.3, so I'd need it then.

IMovie won't show some of my clips in the full screen preview?

So I spent a lot of time working on a music video I recorded in my iPhone, I put it all together and added effets and everthing.
The small preview on iMovie 11 showd my whole movie the whole time, but when I went to play it on the full screen preview, almost a whole minute of different clips just wouldn't show up and turned black! -___-
But I thought the full screen preview was juat being wierd so I saved in in HD, and I went back to play it and it did the same thing ! But it still plays on the small preview on iMovie to this very second.. i just don't understand. Is it just my friday the 13th luck?
Please let me know if this is happening to you or you know how to solve this ! all help is appriciated

Yes! I created a project from a trailer. I finalized then went and changed some things. After finalizing again the small preview shows the full trailer but the preview and all exported movies are blank for the first 10 seconds or so. Frustrating!

IMovie won't show up in my MacBook. Am I supposed to buy it off the app store? I used to have it but I restarted my computer and it just disappeared?

I used to have iMovie but I restarted my computer and when I started it again my iMovie app was gone. When I search for it it says theres nothing there in that name, but when i look it up in the website it says that its supposed to be a build in app. Am I supposed to buy it in the app store?

Try the other USB port. If it still doesn't show up in Disk Utility then there may be something wrong with your Mac. Try something else in each USB port and see if it is seen. If the other thing, like a USB thumb drive, does show up in disk utiltiy then the USB ports are fine.
Power down the system and restart with the drive connected, go to DU and see it it is seen.

IMovie won't load iPhoto pictures

Ever since I upgraded to iMovie 09 (from 08), my iPhotos will NOT load to iMovie. Or Garageband or even upload to email for that matter.
What happens is that my iphotos say "loading photos" or something like that, and it just has a little spinner there and NEVER loads the photos for use with iMOvie. During Garageband, it shuts down my computer every single time.
I went to the Mac store and they couldn't figure it out either.
Can someone help me?

Can you view the images at full size in the iPhoto Window?
Where is your Library stored?

My iphone 5s shows up in image capture, but it won't show any pictures to import.

I recently just started having an issue trying to import photos and videos from my iPhone 5s to my 2009 macbook pro. (version 10.6.8). It will connect to my phone, but it will say there are 0 photos to import. I've check and I am updated on both, and I've followed the other steps listed at iOS: Unable to import photos to computer.
Note: I actually think this started after updating my iphone to the latest software.

From other post, I find this: "I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone. Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded." Or you can try iPhone transfer software to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.

My movies on my ipad won't show up in my ipad iMovie. Why?

My movies on my ipad won't show up in my ipad iMovie. Why?

you said you uninstalled iTunes. Did you follow this article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
because iTunes also installs other components and when removing and re-installing, you have to remove the components in the exact order otherwise it usually doesn't resolve the issue, and sometimes make it worst!
also make sure: you're using the correct ipad usb cable and plugging it on the back of the computer (not the front usb)
next step if it doesn't work would be to try to create another windows user (administrator) and try the ipad on that one, sometimes it works like that.
Good luck

When I drag a picture into my imovie it creates a thumbnail but when it plays over it, it shows the picture in front of it and not the picture...and when I go to crop adjustments it shows a black screen. How do I fix this?

I had a similar problem, and i found that the photo was of very low resoluton. As a test I resized the image to a lrager resolution using photoshop CS4 and re saved it as JPG. I imported the new saved image and it seem to have fixed the problem.

Won't show picture

so my friend hit it with a basketball and I'm willing to pay to get it fixed but the screen won't show anything its like it doesnt work but it will still make sound everytime i plug it in or get a notification. Does anyone know what exactly is wrong with it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Iphoto won't show pictures in events

Maybe it's something somebody else asked already but here it goes..
I've a Macbook pro, bought in septembre 2011, with latest version of Iphoto...
I downloaded mountain lion a few days ago and ever since Iphoto acts a little weird.
Today I wanted to show a picture from an event but there were no pictures, still if I open the photo menu with all my photos I can see them.
If I open some event and I click then on the latest opened event under the recent section I can see all of them.
The only thing I can see if I open an event is "no pictures" next to the arrows on the right corner.
Can someone help me?

I added a couple of events to the Apple TV, they all displayed chronologically.
I removed the events from the Apple TV and changed one of the photo titles in an event so that alphabetically they weren't in the same order as they were chronologically, then added the event back to the Apple TV. I checked the event had gone from the Apple TV while I did this. Once again it displayed chronologically on the Apple TV.
As iPhoto had been set to display the event chronologically all this time, I removed the event from the Apple TV and set iPhoto to view by title (the order changed in iPhoto), then added the event back to the Apple TV. It was still in chronological order.
I then changed the date (made it a year earlier) on the photo I had changed the title on, originally it was somewhere in the middle both alphabetically and chronologically, now it was last alphabetically and first chronologically. I added the event back to the Apple TV and sure enough, it was displayed first.
Indeed whatever I did I was unable to get the event to show in anything but chronological order.
For the avoidance of doubt, you are viewing slideshows and not the screensaver aren't you.

IMovie won't read all my Canon HF100 files.

I have a Canon HF100 camcorder. I record in FXP or 1080 HD video mode, 60 frames. My PC reads and imports the video just fine.
I have a brand new Macbook Pro 15" intel cpu machine with iMovie 09. When I use one of the memory cards to import video it works fine. When I use the other memory card to import video it doesn't even see the camera. It will import pics from it into iPhoto and mounts the camera so you can see the files but iMovie won't even recognize it.
The cards are both formatted fat 32, all video on both is recorded in the same format, both cards had pictures on them as well as the video. I have tried everything I can to get iMovie to read the files, everything suggested on the forums and researched the heck out of this. It won't recognize one of my cards, even though everything else on the mac will. I have 14 gig of HD video to import and am running out of options. I don't have the money to buy another program just to get THIS program to read the files. iMovie 09 was supposed to be HD compatible....why doesn't it have native .mts file support? these cameras have been out for over a year or two and are some of the more popular ones around now. Please help if you can!!!!

well, it seems that the card is bad from what you say. Are you plugging the camera directly to the mac? or using a card reader? what type of card? (guessing MMC/SD card?) how big is the card? if you can get it to show on the desktop then make a folder and manually drag the files off the card and into the folder a few at a time. You will probably find one or 2 corrupt and wont move over so don't try and do them all at once because it'll just bog down. do the smaller ones first!!
you may also find that very large files SEEM to be not seen but it's just the USB/Firewire/system need a LOT of time to transport and convert the file into mac.. (not really what it's doing but give you and idea)
As was stated you may need to reformat the card because its got bad data areas/blocks. From what you are stating it's more than likely the card, not the computer/software.
I have had issues with a friends camera importing to Imovie. My camera and his both record in AVI format but mine I can import directly where his I have to run it through Quicktime Pro and convert to MOV files.. why? no clue but it works.
I would love it if it was just a bad card but check this out. The files are all perfectly fine. They can be copied to my mac no problem. I imported them all to my Windows PC and they play / edit just fine. I'm working with a free file converter to change them into what, mpeg4? I really really don't want to buy VoltaicHD just for a memory card worth (albeit 16 gig of video) of video. I DID find this on Canon's website....
+Issue: What is the Mac compatibility of my camcorder?+
+Solution: The digital video solutions disk is compatible with Mac OS 10.2 up to 10.4 for stills only. No video related software is provided.+
+The video connectivity of the Canon DVD and Hard Disc Drive camcorders provided by the software bundled with them is designed for use with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Microsoft Windows Vista only. The Sonic Roxio My DVD software included with some models is only compatible with the Windows XP SP2 operating system when combined with a computer supporting the USB 2.0 specification.+
+Macintosh OS10.4.3 and up users may be able to view the contents of a finalized disk or files recorded onto the hard drive (for hard disc drive models) on the computer when it is connected to a USB port on the computer. With a finalized disk loaded into the camcorder the camera should show up on the desktop as a mounted drive and files may be copied (dragged) from the disk using normal procedures. Any desired editing, playback or other features may require additional third party software.+
+Note: Proper operation is not guaranteed.+
Now I already have reformatted the card and put the files back on it, still no dice. I've tried everything I can think of, I have no other codecs on my machine but QT native codecs. From what Ive read on the forums and such it seems that iMovie and the lack of support by Apple for .mts and .m2ts file formats in general is the main problem. It seems people have random problems with HD camcorders. Some people it works fine for and some it doesn't..I am one of the unlucky ones with intermittent compatibility. Fun. I have spent SO much time on this problem I almost took my mac back. This is my first Mac and while I love it to death, I am getting real tired of the unsupported crap and having to download other programs to get it to work right when it was supposed to do so in the beginning. I'm not trying to rant, just really frustrated at all the extra expense after having paid 2400$ for what was supposed to do it by itself. From what Canon said on their website, apparently there ARE issues with mac compatibility and it may or may not work. yay. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck paying for more 3rd party software.
Also, yea, I cannot import AVI files into iMovie even after I installed divx...good stuff.

My iPod touch won't show up in iTunes, but charges and shows up on different computers.

My iPod touch 5th gen last was synced with my iMac a couple weeks ago. Now when I plug it into iTunes, it won't show up. It's done this before and I've fixed it by updating iTunes, restarting the iPod/computer etc, but it seems I've tried everything. I've connected it to different USB ports, and it charges in all of them but doesn't show up. When I plug it in, Dropbox recognizes it and can get the pictures off, but iTunes won't work. I tried connecting the iPod to a different computer, and it showed up in iTunes just fine. I have the latest version of iTunes. I didn't restore my iPod from the other computer because if I can't get it to re-sync with this computer I'd rather not lose all my data. It seems I need to reinstall iTunes, but I don't know how- will it delete all my music that I already have on there?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I had this issue, I fixed it by going to:
Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers
Then find the iPod, and Right Click > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > Update Automatically
The driver had not been automatically installed, and windows found and installed the driver files for me. Took ~90 seconds, and then the iPod began it's sync process almost immediately after. Hope this helps anyone with the same issue! I'd try this before re-installing iTunes.

Won't show font?

I am making a slide show of pictures in iMovie (do it every year for Christmas). Well on part of the the slide show I put captions and when I click on "show fonts" to change it, it doesn't do anything it, it just does as if I pressed "done". Any ideas on how to fix this?

It may help to select the text by dragging the mouse before pressing Show Font.
