Insert photo. There is only Photo Booth as library

Hi folks, first time using iWeb 09 and already an issue I can't solve on my own.
Trying to insert Audio, Photo and so on but on:
Audio there is only garage band library (no iTunes library)
Photo there is only Photo Booth (no iPhoto library).
How can I activate them, in iWeb 09, for being able to pick up my songs/pics?
Thanks for your help...
Lucas

Thanks for the quick response Old Toad.
Hmm, my libraries are where they have always been and they were recognized only 2 weeks ago. And yes, they are in the default location (Music and Pictures folder, respectively).
I also noticed that GarageBand does not recognize the iTunes library, so something has definitely gone wrong. It could be that this all happened after my update to 10.5.7, which I did do recently, but I didn't notice this until now. Hmmm, I just remembered I also updated to the newest iPhoto 8.0.3 and iTunes 8.2 within the last couple of weeks. I wonder if that did something. I saw the iPhoto message about rebuilding the library which finished in seconds, I wonder if it didn't actually update and is now not recognized. Same with iTunes.
With this workaround, I think the main loss would be not having iPhoto Events, which is how I usually find the photos. Also, if using the Originals folder, I will not have any edits I may have made to the photos in iPhoto. I suppose by reading between the lines that I could always drag into the Media Browser any folder, like Events, I will have to check the Package Contents and see my options. As a last resort, since I don't use alot of photos other than for Blog entries title section, I could export any edited photo from iPhoto to the desktop and drag it directly to iWeb.
FYI, I tried deleting the iWeb preferences (which I also did recently due to my comments issue), repaired permissions, opened iTunes and iPhoto, then iWeb, but with no luck.
iWeb is seeing my Garageband library, which is mainly ringtones. The GB library is in the same folder as my music library. May add credence to my suspicions about the iTunes and iPhoto updates. I'll check those forums too. I read somewhere about holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto to have it recognize the correct library. Maybe I should try that, and see if that works with iTunes too, then try iWeb again.
Thanks again,
Santiago

Moving iPhoto, Photo Booth, & iMovie library to an external drive

I've search through most of the support community and still havent found a concrete answer. Like most my current internal harddrive is about full. Mostly filled with photos and movies. I have a external harddrive that Time Machine is enabled. I also backed u my iphoto & photo booth library to the external drive. I have yet to move over any imovie data until I am sure that process will work.
How do I move all data over so that iphoto, photo booth, & imovie can be ran fom my external harddrive. Also how can I ensure that imovie will direct itself to the iphoto library on my external because all movies from the past use the iphoto library as its directory. Once this is done I would like to delete all previous data off of my nternal drive
Thank you

Do you want to store your movies and photos on your Time Machine drive? That is not recommended, since you will not have a backup, if the media are only on your backup volume. You will need a second drive in addition to your backup drive, and this drive needs to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled), otherwise you cannot store photo libraries (iPhoto, Aperture) or iMovie events on that drive, see: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture (remember, thta formatting erases a drive, you have to save any contents to another drive before formatting).
For iPhoto: Once your external drive has the correct file system, simply select your iPhoto library in the Finder and drag it to that drive. Then double click the copied library to open it in iPhoto.
For iMovie: To move your iMovie events to an external drive, use the event browser in iMovie - don't use the Finder!
See this Help page: Copy or move video from your Event Library to an external ... http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2302
I don't use Photo Booth, so I do not know how to move your Photo Booth photos.

Video on skype not workin only in facetime and photo booth appears to be a common problem amongst user with a recently bought macbook air

Video on skype not working. Only functioning in facetime and photo booth. Seems to be a common problem amongst users having bought a new macbook air recently. When you go to Preference and click on audio/video item video works but when clicking on another menue and returning to audio/videio picture is gone. Understand has something to do with a recent update von Apple (10.8.5... missing file for 32 bit version).
Anybody there to give me an advice?
Thanks.

Wait until a fix is available from Apple or Skype.
Best.

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media - Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

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.

Photo booth only records partial Video no matter how long it is...Help!!

ok so i wanted to make a funny video to send to my friend. I turned on Photo booth, chose the video option, and hit record. I proceeded to completely embarrass myself on camera for about 5 mins, and i clicked stop. When it stopped, only like the 1st 18 secs were recorded. I thought maybe i clicked stop on accident, so i tried it again, and it was the same problem.. is anyone else having this problem? if so is there a solution for it? please help...thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions, C Dot MooDy
is anyone else having this problem?
I have not seen any specific post of exactly your problem, but a few users have posted questions about how long Photo Booth can record, so they might be asking about a similar issue.
For instance, a search of iSight discussions about known Photo Booth recording time limit:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1450644&tstart=50
if so is there a solution for it?
For a solution, consider the same suggestions I offered in the topic linked above:
(1) Be sure you are keeping Photo Booth (PB) as the foreground app; i.e., you can always see "Photo Booth" by the  in the upper left corner of your display. Don't click on the desktop or any other open window while recording. Recording stops on my Mac if PB is not the active app.
(2) Other things that might be contributing to your problem:
• Don't let your Mac go to sleep or allow its screen saver to work while you are recording.
• Check and, if necessary, modify settings of background apps that might be interrupting your Mac during your PB movie recording. Examples would include Mail checking for new email, iCal executing an alarm, your Software Update... performing its scheduled check for software updates.
I do not know that one of those might be your problem, but if you can find no other cause, and if you must record long clips with PB, consider any of those ideas you think they might have an impact.
(3) Also consider these suggestions If your Macbook runs slowly or exhibits any other problems in addition to your PB issue.
(4) If all else fails, you might try iMovie to see if it works better for recording longer movie clips on your Macbook. While not a one-click app like PB, iMovie HD can add Video FX (Effects) after you have recorded your clip. If you cannot get PB working, iMovie might be worth considering as an alternative.
(5) If you would rather not use iMovie, perhaps a PB clone application like WebcamTweaker or Freak Show will work for what you want.
Please let us know how it goes.

Mediabrowser only show photos from Photo Booth

The media browser works OK for audio and movies but not for photos.
I can only see photos from Photo Booth but not from iPhoto or Apperture and I can not add Photofolders from the Finder.

Without knowing the answer I will suggest that you trash the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist residing in your name > Library > Preferences. Start Pages again and see it it works now.
You can create a new user account in which you try Pages and se if it works there. If it doesn't it is probably a problem with Pages and it should be reinstalled.

I deleted photo booth off my Mac. It is not in the application folder, and I do not have an installer CD. Is there anything I can do?

About a year ago I deleted Photo Booth. I somehow found a link to get it back, and it worked perfectly, but when I quit Photo Booth, I lost it. I could never find the link since. I have been looking for something despretly, but I have only found answers that have said "use your install CD". I got my Mac pre-used so I did not get it with any CD. Hence, my problem. I need someone to help. Maybe post another link or something?

check your purchase tab in the app store. if it does not show up there than you will have to buy it unless there is a backup available from a disc or time machine . hope this helps.

My iPad camera only works at the back. When I change it to front camera it freezes with shutter closed. Also photo booth keeps opening the red curtain and I can't select a feature. I have restored iPad with no success. Help!

I have only had my iPad for a week and can not get the front camera to work....it just freezes and does nothing. The photo booth app also only shows the red curtain over and over. I have restored the iPad, reset it...and still no joy..... Any ideas?

I think you have a defective iPad. One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
If that doesn't help, show your iPad to an Apple Store Genius, and you should get a new iPad on the spot.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. In the US, <United States>. Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

Yes - you need a min of 10 GB just to operate - with just 1 you certainly can lose photos and other critical things - you need to make space immediately - probably by moving your iPhoto library to a volume formatted Mac OS extended -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

HT3412 The preview of my hardcover book as iPhoto laid it out is 62 pgs. even though there are only 82 photos in my album. That seems like a lot of pgs. for so few photos. Is this a full 62 pgs or 31? How much is 62pgs?

The preview of my hardcover book as iPhoto laid it out is 62 pgs. even though there are only 82 photos in my album.
The auto layout used mostly 1 photo, full pages. Obviosuly I can manually re-layout the pages as multi-photo pages and reduce the number of pages.
However, that seems like a lot of pgs. for so few photos since a blank Photo Essay book layout appears to use 73 photos?
I'm not sure I know why iPhoto did not the default layout to fill those photo frames. I expected the 82 photos to use approximately 23-24 pages max.
Is this a full 62 full pgs or 31sheets?
If it is a true 62 pages, what is the cost?
Thanks for the help.

What does the book look like in iPhoto in the All Pages window? Are there photos on all pages? Books are printed on both sides of the page so that would be 31 pages.
This book has 48 pages or 24 sheets.
To find the cost click on the Buy Book button and check the price that is presented to you. You can always cancel out of the purchase process.
Happy Holidays

Is there a way to convert videos taken in Photo Booth to iMovie?

A friend of mine came to visit from out of town and we made some videos using Photo Booth. I tried to drag and drop it into iMovie, because I need to edit some clips, but it wouldn't work. I tried dragging it to iTunes first, but then it only recognized the audio in iMovie... My friend is leaving town today, and I would really like to figure out how to make this work. Any suggestions? Is it even possible?

Hi
I do
• select it under the Photo Booth window
• select show in Finder
I drag this into QuickTime-Player Pro (7.7)
Export as QuickTime - here I select the DV-PAL codec (as I'm in EU - DV-NTSC for USA)
This I can use in iMovie or FinalCut
If QT-Player X can do this - I have not a clue - Sorry - try and see

I have a Macbook Pro that was slowing down. The HD was nearly full as I do a video work. I removed over 400gb of photos and video and it made no difference. I ran disk inventory x and that says that there is only 60gb on the hard drive but disk utility says there is still 430gb on the HD. How do I remove what DU says is still there.
Thanks

You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed.
