IPhoto 6 library not seen by other iApps and 3rd party applications

EVery since upgrading to iLife 6 my iPhoto library is not seen by iWeb, iMovie, ScreenSaver preference panel, PrintShop 2, etc. What I've tried:
1. Rebuilding all four options library
2. Deleting prefs
3. Repair permissions
Any ideas on what else i can try?

Randy:
What do you see when you look for photos in the Media pane of iDVD or iMovie?
In addition to deleting the pref files for the iApps there's another preference file, com.apple.iApps.plist, that you should delete also. Then open the applications in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, then iDVD. That may help.

This has nothing to do with iCloud. Try one of the iTunes forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes

Any links i open from 3rd party applications do not open in firefox.

To be more precise, when i click a link, Firefox does open however it does not visit the URL. It simply opens a new session. I have started Firefox in safe mode and the problem occurs, i have reset firefox to default preferences and the problem still persists. I can see no problems in the setting of Firefox itself and have already tried all the fixes available.
I am using Firefox 29.0.1 on Fedora 20 64x

As i stated, when i click links from 3rd party applications, such as skype; a youtube link or something similar. Firefox opens a new session however it does not visit the clicked url

3rd party applications not working (ie: word & photoshop) Help!

Hey,
I have been using my macbook without problems for about 7 months now, but last week it started refusing to open 3rd party applications such as word, or photoshop. I tried every application that wasn't apple software and the only one that works now is ableton live. All the non-working applications are legal, i tried reloading the microsoft office software, and even though the reload was successful, the problem still exists when trying to open any of those applications.
Thanks for any help

Hi Red and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
Sometimes when apps won't open, it's because the hard disk is full. Here's how to check to see how much free space is available.
Launch Disk Utility from the Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left. Now, tell her to look at the bottom of that page where it says: Capacity and Available. Rule of thumb... never allow free disk space to fall below 15 - 20%. It takes a minimum of 15% free disk space just to boot a Mac.
If that isn't the issue, because she can't open PS or Word, it might be a corrupted font that she has used in both those applications. Tell her to try this. She needs to find this file:
com.apple.FontBook.plist It's here: /Users/HerName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file as any Mac will create a new one for her.

Adobe Reader 9.x does not retain preferences when called by a 3rd party application.

I have an in-house application that utilizes .pdf and .xfdf files. We use Adobe 9.x when viewing these files and when I open them natively from Windows explorer they Display In Browser and all my Trust Manager preferences are intact. If I use the 3rd party application to open the files they Display In Browser but none of my TrustManager settings are present and I am forced to trust the document each time I reopen Adobe. If I leave Adobe Reader open for the duration of the session that I am using my 3rd party application though the Trust Settings for the document I loaded are present but as soon as I close Adobe they are gone until I Trust the document when opening it again. Any insight as to why this might be and how I could rectify the issue would be appreciated.

We are using 9.1.1.
We notice that this option is no loger available in this version. The below option will keep the form data available even if you exist out from the sessions.

Itunes allows library to point to other folders and not copy files - WHY DOESN'T iPHOTO?

Hopefully Terence Devlin and other experts will see this. I really am intrigued as to iphoto behaviour and seek some clarification.
I just waded through 13 pages of an old thread that was locked where Terence kept saying iphoto was all one needed to work with one's photos and kept getting called on the fact he would not answer the question "where are my photos" (photos = files) because it was so darn dangerous for anyone to touch the actual files in the iphoto library.
I have a use case I need help on and an example of Apple's utter inconsistency here.
Inconsistency: iTunes lets me create a library all the while pointing to the original files that *I* have imported and structured in a given directory/folder stucture. Yes it means I manually manage what is in itunes etc, but that's how I like it. The key thing is that itunes allows the choice to import (copy) files (which makes duplicate and doubles hard disk usage) or not.
iphoto does not allow that option.
I just converted to Mac from a PC and copied in over 100gb of photo files - some 16,000 photos. I import new pics to the Mac using Canon native software and store them accoring to a structure/taxonomy that *I* determine and want to control - not some software's predetermined idea of events or locations or whatever. In itunes I can make 'music' an 'audiobook' or I can make a podcast 'music', I can edit the metadata to order things in the 'library' as *I* choose and the itunes library is coole with this without havign ANY of the soruce files in its library. Naively, I thought iphoto would follow a similar philosophy.
Use case: I discovered that iphoto has some very effective functionality for management of my uploads and sets etc in Flickr, but to do so I have to import my pics, obviously. So I did import the whole 'Pictures' folder - not for a moment considering that Apple would be dumb enough to copy every pic and make a duplicate, or that I might not get the chance to say yes or no to this in the settings, as per itunes. Having looed for that optin and failed to find it I imported anyway to see what happened. After I realised that the Mac was heating up and files were being copied and I was going to lose another 100+gb of disk space I forced this to quit. And thanks to others on that other thread I found the iphoto library and deleted the whole thing, getting back 100bg of drive space. All I want to do is use iphoto for the Flickr sharing/management functionality - I have no use for it otherwise.
Why would Apple think that not having to duplicate files is ok for itunes but not a viable option for iphoto? Why would I want to double the disk space used for every photo I store? At the very least iphoto needs to come with a health warning that it should only be used to import from external devices and be the sole manager of photos, unless one wants to use double the disk space.
So if I want to use the sharing (i.e. Flickr uploading and management of sets etc) capabilities, should I import all or some of my folders, do my work and then delete the library each time to reclaim the disk space?

If I import photos to iPhoto, the originals are deleted? So if I import from a card I have taken from my camera or if I connect my camera directly, the act of importing into iPhoto wipes them from my card?
Again, you need to check your facts before getting indignant. This is simply not true. It's an option you have and not one I recommend using. But it's only an option.
Storage costs money and I do not want to have two copies of every pic on my hard disk - especially given huge filesizes of RAW files today.
No one is suggesting that you have two copies. You have your iPhoto Library and then you back that up. Again, less indignnation, more careful study.
I do use other photo managers (e.g. native Canon tools) quite happily and they are far less 'exclusive' - i.e. I can use different apps with the same native file structure.
Using other photo managers makes little sense, any more than having two address books. How do you keep them in sync. Your comment about file structure is important, we'll come back to that.
If I want to go back to a Windows PC or any other machine and want to retain the "manual" file labelling and directory structure that I have implemented and been using for years, it seems that having a reference library that *I* know the taxonomy of is actually an advantage if I want to go somewhere else.
If you want to retain exactly the same filing structure you have now, then don't use any Photo Manager. Stick to the file manager. You'll be missing out on a lot of options, but hey ho, it's what you want.
That said, if you want to migrate from iPhoto to a Windows Machine then that's what File -> Export is for, and you can export from iPhoto to a folder tree matching your Events.
And this is a big one: This is true of any Photo Manger. Especially one with lossless processing - iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom et al.
Here's the principle: IT IS MY DATA AND I WILL DECIDE HOW IT IS LABELLED - WHAT THE FILENAMES ARE - AND HOW IT IS STRUCTURED INTO DIRECTORIES AND SUB-DIRECTORIES. I WILL DECIDE WHICH APPLICATION I USE TO DO ANYTHING WITH THAT DATA AT ANY POINT IN TIME
DId you stomp your foot while writing those block capitals too?
But here's the thing: It's your data then why the heck are you dealing with Files?
This is the key difference, and frankly, unless you can geet this you're always going to have problems with Photo Mangers.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
See? It's about the data and the data and the file are not the same thing. Organising your photos based on the files is like organising a shoestore based on the boxes and not the shoes.
And here's the thing: anything you want to do with your Photos can be done either with or via your Photo Manager.
And again, I strongly stress, this is true of iPhoto, Aperture and Lightroom.
And please note: either with or via... Want to use a 3rd party editor, that can be done easily and so on.
Let me correct you. "If you use an APPLE Photo Manager then it's the go-to app for whatever you do with your photos.
Doesn't matter who makes it.
Other Photo Managers may have more flexibility and enable greater user control."
Sure. iPhoto's a $15 app. Aperture is a $70 one. Adobe's Lightroom is about $150. Pay more get more options.
And remember where we came in here: You said you weren't able to choose where to store your files. You're wrong. You can. All I'm saying is that there's no point and more work to it.
For many - including me - the Apple way seems way too dictatorial -
Whoa. Apple are dictating nothing. You don't have to use iPhoto, you don't have to use a Mac. And remember:
...where we came in here: You said you weren't able t choose where to store your files. You're wrong. You can. All I'm saying is that there's no point and more work to it
Are Ford dictatorial demanding you steer the car using a wheel? Sheez.
and yes there are certainly advantages for some types of users of trusting one piece of software to do everything, however non-transparent it may be what it is doing or why, and with the dangers of trying to do ANYTHING else at all with one's photos.
And again, everything is quite transparent if you take a little while to understand it. You don't understand it because you're coming from a file management and not a data management perspective. Also no one is suggesting using "one piece of software to do everything". iPhoto leverages the Finder for storage, QuickTime for display, uses and Open-Source database and so on, it protects your original file like a digital negative.
iPhoto may well not be the app for you. That's especially true since you don't understand it and are confusing it with a file manager. That's fine. But please, stop saying things that aren't true.

Help! iPhoto library not available to other Apple applications

My iPhoto library is not available for browsing in other Apple applications like iMovie, Mail or even Desktop and Screen Saver. I've rebuilt the iPhoto database, fixed permissions, tried to do over starting with a clean plate and importing the database and nothing seems to work. The iPhoto library is unavailable to other Apple applications that can make use of it.
Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem? FWIW, iTunes is available in other Apple applications and iPhoto seems to work just fine as a stand alone application it just doesn't want to play with the other children anymore.
Thanks.

Eric
Sharing between applicationns is enabled by a file in the iPhoto Library Folder called the Albumdata.xml file.
First step: Remove this file and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild the files. Then relaunch the other apps, see if they see can see iPhoto.
If not, do you have any non-ascii characters in your titles or keywords - bascaly anything that's not 0-9 or a - z.
If that's not the issue, have a look at this thread

2 iCloud iPhone accounts to 1 iPhoto photostream library not possible?

I feel I'm not getting the full iCloud photostreaming experience i should be. My spouse and I have our iphone 5's. We have a shared iTunes account which is perfect for us (we have the same calendar and contacts and events, music etc).
But, we each have our own iCloud account so that the "find my iphone" feature works properly and points to each of our separate iphones.
But when we turn on PHOTOSTREAM on each of our iphones (or iClouds accounts if you will) how do i get each of our Photostreams to download by wifi, automatically, onto our iMac's iPhoto?
We LOVE iPhoto on our iMac. We download all our DSLR pics to it, make albums & slide shows etc... BUT>>> it seems that I can only turn on 1 iCloud account on my iMac and that means only 1 of us gets thier iPhone pics to photostream onto iPhoto so we can show them and enjoy them from iPhoto.
I know that we can always connect our iphones and 'sync' in iTunes and move our photos over manually, but I'm hoping we both can Photostream from our respective iClouds and view-play-edit our photos together in iPhoto. We have NO interest in sharing each others photostream (a feature in iCloud) and viewing each others pics on our iphones, we really want to view them on our iMac (and stream slide shows to our tv via AppleTV) so I don't see how photostream sharing is a solution. What am I missing?

There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

ITunes Library not loading in other applications

I m unable to access my iTunes music in iPhoto. I have foloowed the advice given by Apple:
To add music to a slideshow:
Hide
If you don’t see your iTunes library in the Source pop-up menu:
Try the following:
Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Open iTunes first, and then reopen iPhoto.
If you recently installed iLife software, it’s a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD.
These applications use one another’s media libraries, and opening the applications in that sequence ensures that you see the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and Movies folder no matter which application you’re using.
If you still don’t see your iTunes library, try this:
Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes.
In the Finder, locate your iTunes folder.
It is usually in [Home]/Music/iTunes or [Home]/Documents/iTunes. If it’s not there, search for it.
Open the iTunes folder and drag the iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
Open iTunes and create a new playlist (choose File > New Playlist).
Quit iTunes and open iPhoto.
You should now see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow.
The same thing happens in both iMovie and iDVD – no iTunes LIbrary available.
There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with my iTunes Library: I dont have an iTunes Media File folder, (which my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard has).
My iMac (Lion) has the following path: Home/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/and then a list of music which is not what is presently in iTunes, it is some previous state of my iTunes library.
The Macbook pro has the following path: Home/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/ and then a list of music which is as in iTunes.
iTunes itself works OK, although some files, mainly podcasts have become lost files which can't be played.
Any advice?

i have been running out of space on my hard drive because of my itunes library. i purchased an external and found a site outlining how to move it and did so. it calls for moving the main folder but not the album artwork or the xml file.
i open iphoto, create a photo slideshow and when i go to choose a song, it shows me the list but gives an error when i choose it. i had no problems previously, so i assume it's because the program cannot find the songs because the files are now on the external drive. i research and several sites say to delete the xml file and create a new playlist in itunes to redirect the files. this did not work and now i'm not sure what to do besides just moving it back to my hard drive and dealing with the space issues some other way.

ITunes Library not seen - Sharing Library with another account on same Mac

I have a done a search and tried some of the suggestions, but it doesn't appear to be working.
Background:
Had iTunes on a Windows machine.
Purchased about 60 tunes
Ripped all my CDs into the library
Bought an iBook
Purchased about 30 tunes on the iBook
Used the Network to copy the Music files to the iBook
iBook appears to have everything
Bought at 17" iMac - did a Target Disk transfer from iBook
Reformatted 17" and traded it in for 20" iMac
Did a Target Disk transfer from iBook to new 20"
Under my account on the iMac, I can see/use my entire library. Per suggestions here, I moved the iTunes Music folder to my Public diretory so that my wife could see the library too. When I loaded iTunes on my wife's account and did an Add to Library the only thing that shows up in her library is the 30 tunes I purchased using the iBook.
I have both accounts setup to point to the Public directory.
How do I make this work??
Also, I really only want one library to be shared between both of our accounts on both machines, but I do want the ability to take the library with me when I go mobile with the iBook. Is this possible?

I read the referenced thread and although the person got the desired results, I see two problems with the method they used. It sounds like they simply mad another copy of the library on the hard drive. First, this wastes disk space as you now have to copies of every song on the hard drive. Second, whenever music is added to either of the libraries, the other library will not see it and be out of "sync" unless you manually copy the new songs to the other directory.
I am looking for a solution in which their is only one central library.
Thanks
Carl

DVD/CD drive is not seen by 6460DWU T61 and XP Professional system

Dear friends,
I have laptop 6460-DWU T61 with XP Professional.
I load systematically all new updates which I receive from Lenovo and one day I saw that my computer cannot see my DVD/CD drive. It disappeared from “My Computer”. I do not know when it was happened. Does Lenovo create problems for his users ?
When I load from “Control panel” “Add hardware Wizard” I saw yellow “!” at HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-U10N and after clicking Next I saw message “Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)”.
After I uninstalled the device using “Device Manager”, rebooted my laptop and installed it again. Nothing was changed. Again yellow “!” at HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-U10N and my computer cannot see my DVD/CD drive.
I tried temporary find other solution and connect DVD/CD drive by USB port. And again problem. My computer cannot see the new drive, yellow “!” at HP DVD Writer 557r USB Device and the same message “Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)”.
Great ! What can I do?!
My big request is how can I fix the problem? May I use the bellow solution?
I intend create the fixcd.reg file described by Mr.JohnWill at
http://forums.techguy.org/multimedia/528972-itunes-blocks-cd-rom-recognition.html
However I do not know in which directory set the file for sure.
Can somebody tell me, please?
I appreciate it in advance, thank you.

I'm not entirely sure what the OP's situation is, but this:
"They sold me it without CD to reinstall XP Windows. I do not have CD which I can use to reinstall my Windows. My computer is preinstalled with the MS Windows® XP OS, but is supplied with a MS® Windows Vista® OS. ... The Windows Vista recovery disc set provided with my computer cannot reinstall the Windows XP OS."
would seem to indicate that the machine was purchased with a Vista license and a pre-installed XP downgrade. That's how several machines that I was involved with (mine and friends') arrived.
They were shipped with Lenovo XP images installed - including the recovery partition and tools for XP - and a set of Vista factory media as well.
[edit] Small correction: my T400 had Vista installed and XP media in the box. The other T400 units had XP installed and Vista media in the box.
