When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie

When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie.
I´ve tried to end iMovie, shut down the MacBook Pro, but the same problem happens again.

Hi
BUT
This can take times ! - I mean several Hours ! !
Last time I did this it took > 20 Hours (INTEL i7 4x4 processors - 2.2GHz)
AND - remember to connect Your MacBook (or laptop) to Mains-adaptor - as battery might run out !
Still - there is no alternative route to this (repair of iPhoto Library) suggested by Karsten !

IPhoto (11) and Aperture videos not showing up in iMovie

None of the iPhoto (11) and Aperture videos are showing up in iMovie. I've tried to rebuild the thumbnails - no dice. I've tried removing the com.apple.iMovie* files from the preferences in my Library and restarting - no dice. Any other suggestions? Do I have to somehow export or share these files with iMovie?

Try trashing the iApps preference file. For instructions, see this post.

IPhoto events only show videos, no pictures

For some reason, my iPhoto events started showing videos only, no pictures. I can see the pictures on the thumbnails, or when I open them using Photos instead of Events, or when I open the events (projects) on Aperture. I already rebuilt the database but nothing changed. If I import new pictures (thus creating a new event), I see them on the new event's thumbnail, but once again if I go into the event nothing shows up.
This happened around the same time iMovie analyzed the iPhoto library for videos, for a new project I'm making on iMovie. Now iMovie can't see the iPhoto videos anymore.
Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?
Thanks.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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.

IPhoto won't play videos (with QT7), after renaming video files in Finder

Hi folks,
My iPhoto9 played video files with Quick time when double clicking the video files in iPhoto. Yesterday I renamed approx 50 video files in Finder (double clicked and renamed them). Now iPhoto won't play them when double clickling. The only way to play them is to a) drag/drop to vlc or b) double click them in Finder.
How can I tell iPhoto to play the video files (interesting fact: the meta data still shows the video old file names)?
Can anyone help me? Thanks!!!!
Thanks

I have not changed default seetings, so I assume I'm running Managed libary.
The yes, that's the case. So, to do this you had to access the Package File and then rename the files. Wasn't the fact that the files are not directly accessible a hint?
I tried overwriting iLife09 (without deleting the version that was on -> it didn't help!!)
Nor would it. That might restore the applications (though without removing the receipts it won't be very effective) but the problem isn't the Applications. The problem is that you have corrupted the Library.
What if I delete iLife and reinstall it. Will iPhoto then be able to play the videos (that I previously renamed with Finder)?
No. Because, again, it will not undo what you did in the Library folder.
As you have no back up, you no have exactly one option: Create a new Library and start over from scratch, importing the originals from the Library you trashed.

IPhoto will not import video clips from iPhoto

I plugged in my iPhone to my computer. I opened iPhoto to import the photos from my camera role. It imported the photos just fine up said "The following files could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format." It is all the video files I took with my iPhone. Never had this problem before. I recently switched macs from my desktop to a new iMac. I was having problems with iphoto not liking the video I previously had in iPhoto.

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

IPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera.

iPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera. What's the easiest way to get the video imported. Also, didn't prior versions of iPhoto accept this format?

As you don't mention the version of iPhoto, I can only guess that you've been caught in the gap between Apple and Samsung. Somethign changed with iPhoto 11 and it's quite rigid about how timecode is handled in video and there's something not quite standard in the Samsung timecode. Google around a bit for more.
And, as Larry say, try iMovie

When restoring Time Machine after a failure, does it also restore the files to the same order, for example - within iPhoto I have pics/ videos in folders and sub folders organised as family/events etc - will it go back to this exact order after a restore?

Hi Stavros0203,
When restoring your entire system from a Time Machine backup, it is restored to the state it was when that backup was made. See this article for reference -
OS X Yosemite: Recover your entire system
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPhoto won't download videos from my camera! Help please!

I have a Samsung WB250F camera and my Mac has been downloading videos and pictures fine until today! I put my card in and only some of the videos will download. I have two clips that won't. They aren't long, one is 4 minutes and the other is 5 minutes. I've deleted all other videos that were in my iphoto and that didn't work. Everytime I push import a message comes up that says "Error downloading image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image"
It's starting to get VERY frustrating.

JordanFox,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
Regards.

HT4623 Since updating ipad to 7.0.2 version in iPhoto's the av1 video icons are blank and difficult to identify. Can this be rectified?

Since updating ipad to 7.0.2 version in iPhoto's the av1 video icons are blank and difficult to identify. Can this be rectified?

Try a reset Carole ...
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

IPhoto downloads some pix & video but not others in the same format

For the past two weeks iPhoto is giving me error messages on some of the photos and videos I try to import from my SD card. I never had this problem before but it will import some of the photos and MPEG-4 videos but at the end, it lists all the ones it can't import.
For the photos it lists them all as below with the message that they are unreadable files. Then it says "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data.)
/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73614.JPG
/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73615.JPG
/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73616.MP4
/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100SSCAM/STH73617.JPG
As you can see they all have valid file type extensions. It's particular odd because I downloaded a very short video clip I shot with no problem but did not download the one I shot just seconds before because "this is not a movie file."
Curiously I was able to download the pix and videos on my work Windows computer. But I had to email them to myself in order to be able to get them into an iPhoto album.
Once I get these latest ones off the SD card I will reformat it. I assume the problem is with the card, right?

Jane:
Once you get the files off the memory card use the camera to reformat the card before using again. Other users have reported similar issues and a reformat in the camera solved their issue.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

IPhoto does not import video from iPhone 4

We've been battling this problem for a while now. We have two iPhone 4's and any time we import photos to iPhoto, we have to select photos individually, making sure to NOT select any videos taken with the iPhone 4, in order to get them to import to iPhoto. If there is a video in the set, all photos after that are reported as unrecognized format and won't import. We can then select those photos that didn't import and reimport them and it works. Importing videos, either single videos or groups, or when mixed in with photos just doesn't work. Every time it fails with the unrecognized format error. We are able to import directly from a flip video camera, or if we first transfer the videos from the iphone to the hard drive using a different utility, but when we then import those files into iPhoto, they come in, but without the usual thumbnail image (they show up in the library as black).
This problem has been going on since iPhoto 09. We bought the 11 upgrade hoping it would fix this problem. It made it a little better (we used to not be able to import anything from the phones), but it still doesn't work for video. If it were just one of the phones I'd say it was the phone, but both phones have the problem. We've been seeing this problem for many months now.

Believe me, we've tried it all. Resetting, restarting, reinstalling, clearing preferences, caches, resetting databases, removing all photos off the iPhone and starting from zero. I've read probably 15 different threads on the subject and tried at least as many solutions. In a few instances the problem got better...for 1 sync. Then it cropped up again. I tried syncing to a fresh iPhoto database, and the problem came back for that one as well. I'm really hoping that Apple is working on a solution for this. We've put a lot of effort into our iPhoto archives and the main reason we bought the iPhone's was for the camera (even suffering through AT&T's questionable coverage for it). It doesn't seem like we are the only ones having this trouble.
