IPhoto event matching in iMovie not working

Hello!
I want to import photos from iPhoto into iMovie. I click on the grey line at the bottom of the screen to choose photos taken on the same date as the event I am editing in iMovie. I click in the little box to activate this function. The selection does not take place. Instead I see all of the photos I have taken since I bought my iMac in 2009. How can I get this very useful function to work?
Could it be a problem of permissions, resulting from the installation of iLife 11?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer!

I am having the same problem in both my macbook pro and my newer imac. I wonder if I have similar problems in both because I used Time Machine to transfer everything from my macbook to my imac. Anyway, on my macbook, I have 825 events and 52,000 photos in iphoto. In the browser in imovie, there are only 688 events and 45,000 photos listed. New photos in iphoto are not showing up in the imovie browser. Very frustrating Would love any suggestions. Thanks.

I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

  • Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

    Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

    Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
    Many thanks.

  • IPhoto 9.4.3-keyword "" not working correctly in smart albums

    Every May I work on the 5th Grade recognition slideshow (using Keynote) for our 5th grade students.  In iPhoto, I always give photos the checkmark keyword after I've placed that photo so that I know it's been added/used.  I have many smart photo albums with keywords like "5th graders 2012-2013" and others like the checkmark. 
    None of the smart albums seem to be recognizing and using the checkmark even though it's one of the smart album criteria.  For example, I have a smart album called
    "5th grade-already used" which has the criteria Match All:  Keyword is "5th graders-2012-2013" and Keyword is "✔".  However, even after giving some photos the checkmark keyword, this smart album shows up empty.
    Similarly, I have another smart album called "5th-Still to use" which has criteria Match All: Keyword is "5th graders-2012-2013" and Keyword is not "✔". The photos that I've placed the checkmark on are STILL showing up here.
    These smart albums have always worked before.  Has anyone else noticed issues with the checkmark keyword not working properly?  It has to have happened with an update sometime in the past year.

    When I went to open the library using iPhoto Library Manager, it had to upgrade the library to work with this version of iPhoto.
    That's normal.
    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 Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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.

  • IMovie Not Working - Video and Photos refuse to be added or removed

    Hello. I've been using iMovie without issue ever since I first got my MacBook Pro, but suddenly (and without any notable reason) it's not letting me do... well, anything.
    I was in the middle of a project and went to add some photos, and while the program claimed to be inserting them, after 10 minutes there was no progress. I decided to put the photos into iPhoto and try to add them from there, but it was to no avail. The green insert line shows up, as well as the green plus sign on the side of the photo, but nothing happens. The photo isn't added.
    Understandably frustrated, I decided to move on with the project and add some more video. Again, drag and drop didn't work. I then decided to delete some video from the project. It didn't delete.
    I've restarted the program and my macbook a few times and tried to do all these things, but it never works. And a few times the program obviously crashed, although wasn't listed as not responding and closed immediately when asked to do so.
    I'm completely baffled. What do I have to do to be able to get iMovie to work again? Scouring the internet didn't offer any solutions, although I did find a few other people who suffered the same problem and never received responses.
    Can somebody help me? I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 and iMovie 8.0.6 (I've checked for software updates, it says I have the latest version).

    Hi
    What I suspect first is QuickTime 7.6.6
    If You can - downgrade to 7.6.4
    Else
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    • Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • iMovie updated ?
    • QuickTime updated ?
    • Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

    I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

  • IPhoto and other iLife Apps not working

    About a month ago I was having serious problems with my iMac. Ended up needing a new hard drive, so Apple sent it away, put in a new hard drive, and sent it back. I've had it for two weeks and am just now using some applications (probably should have checked everything when I got it back, oh well), and some iLife stuff and programs that come installed are not opening. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.11 FYI
    What works: Mail, Safari, iChat, Address Book, Itunes, iMovie, iCal, Quicktime
    What doesn't work: iPhoto, iDVD, Garageband, iWeb, Photo Booth
    Just a note, iWeb is the only one that prompts me and tells me that I need to re-install iLife. When I went to download latest iLife update it told me there was nothing to update and I needed to reinstall iLife.
    Also just went into the applications folder again and realized I have both Spaces and Time Machine installed, except they do not work with my OS, so I don't know why they are on there (when I try opening them just to see what would happen it says "does not work with your OS X). Also, Senuti and iPodRip also are not working, so anyone have any ideas as to programs that would let me get my music off my ipod and back on to the computer?
    The programs that don't work just bounce out of dock once then go back down immediately, and do not open at all. I tried installing the software bundle package from my OS X install disk but while the install was seemingly successful it did not change anything. So AAGGHH what do I do???
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the Core 2 Duo in the white case, released late 2006. Definitely have been running Tiger on it (just checked and I am running 10.4.11), sent it away, got it back, and just noticed that these programs don't work and I have programs native to Leopard inexplicably on the computer for some reason. I don't really want to remove them though cause I would like to have them on in case I have to go to the Apple Store so I can point it out to them and ask some questions about why Tiger (the OS installed on the computer) applications are not working while Leopard applications are installed even though they don't work and shouldn't be on there.

  • IPhoto OS Error 54 Videos not working but still work in Finder

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1. (902.17)
    OS - Mavericks 10.9.5.
    iMac, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
    A couple weeks ago I was unloading my iPhone 5 and my wife's iPhone 5 to the MAC so that we could get our iCloud backups under 5GB.  I imported all the videos and photos that didn't automatically import and then deleted them off my phones.  I've done this many times before to no issue.  I ran into some issues with my wife's phone which hadn't had an import in a long time (and she's not on the same icloud account as me so EVERYTHING on her phone had to import).  I ended up having to pull her photos and videos off of a backup on the iMac that I created in iTunes right before the failed import.   I then manually took the photos and videos from a Finder folder and imported them into iPhoto.  All of the pictures imported, but none of the videos did because of an error (don't remember the error code for this one).   I was able to import those videos into iMovie so I considered that a win. 
    But now I realized I have a years worth of videos in iPhoto that are just no longer working.  This includes videos that I imported before the iPhone 5 purges.  They show up as a blank thumbnail and when I click on them I get the OS Error 54.   Now, I was able to find these videos on my hard drive and they work just fine.  Though, they're not all importing to iMovie either. 
    I know the suggestion is probably to restore a backup.   But, I feel like I'm going to lose files one way or another if I try that. 
    Anyone have any other tricks to make these videos start working again in iPhoto? 
    Thanks!

    Try this:
    Launch the Terminal and at the prompt paste
    sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache
    It will ask for your password. Type it in (but remember it won't show it to you) and hot return.
    Quit the Terminal and restart iPhoto.

  • On iphoto my stop import is not working and the force quit does not work either

    please help - the stop import and force quit on iphoto both not working. thx!

    This happened to me today on the iPad; I put in the password 4 or 5 times. I began to think my account had been hacked. I tried again on my iPhone and it worked first time. Then I tried again on the iPad and same thing—worked first time. Maybe just a temporary glitch in the server?

  • Itunes Match Family Sharing Not Working

    Hello,
    My parents have purchased iTunes Match, and they have also enabled ITunes family sharing, with my father's account being the "organizer" and my mother's being an authorized user.  I have checked both their phones, and all iCloud/iTunes Match functionalities are turned on on both their phones.  However, whenever my father purchases music through iTunes on his phone or computer, only sometimes does the content show up on iTunes on my Mother's phone, other times it does not.  Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there some hidden functionality that needs to be turned on?  I am not inexperienced with tech issues, but I cannot figure out for the life of me why this issue is recurring.

    Hello Jimzgoldfinch,
    After reading through the forums, I see iTunes Match does not work with family sharing.  I believe that I may have conflated my issue.  My parents are not having a problem with iTunes Match songs (songs uploaded to iCloud from computer) not being shared.  Instead, they are having issues with songs purchased from iTunes directly not being shared across both their accounts.  The issue occurs regardless of whether the songs are purchased by my father, the "organizer" of the iTunes sharing, or by my mother. 
    Am I correct in assuming (since I was not the one to setup iTunes Family Sharing, and have not dealt with it before) that iTunes Sharing is supposed to allow music purchased by any of the accounts associated with the family "organizer" to be accessed by all of the accounts associated?  This assumes, again, that the content is shareable (which the website says iTunes music purchased from iTunes is).
    If I need to repost this question in a different forum, I will do so.
    Thanks for the help so far.

  • Event.hits property does not work at Adobe 9

  • Daisy chain isight imovie not working

    Hi,
    I am currently botting my mac mini off an external hard drive. When I daisy chain the isight it works fine with ichat, but it fails to work with imovie. What happens is that it works for approx. 10 to 15 seconds and then the image skips(like an old tv skipping horizontally) and the image freezes. Any help would be widely appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Gmas.

    You're welcome, Gmas.
    And thank you for the kind words. It sounds like you have a good plan.
    Bill's good suggestion may give you what you want if you can try that.
    ... it seems that the only option is buying a powered hub that works.I can think of some others:
    -Be sure you have NO unnecessary apps running while you are recording.
    -If you are using FileVault, try turning that off. There are known issues with FileVault and iMovie.
    -You can try booting from your internal drive when you want to use iSight to see if iSight works acceptably with iMovie that way.
    -You can make very short clips and edit them together in iMovie.
    -Try adding light. Many who post here experience an iMovie video "freeze" that is not related to which drive is being used to boot. There seems to be a wide variation in how long recording can be done before the freeze occurs. Perhaps you are just experiencing the "iMovie freeze"? You can search iSight Discussions (up on level) for "iMovie freeze" (without the quote marks) to find several other users' experiences.
    -The iMovie freeze can be caused by low light. iSight switches to 15 frames-per-second to improve picture quality in low-light conditions. This causes a conflict with iMovie, which expects standard DV input at a fixed frame rate.
    -As explained in David Babsky's "Various iMovie/iSight problems" msg # 1, Jul 14, 2005 response to your post in iMovieHD Discussions, more light, iMovie HD, and keeping other apps that use iSight closed may (my emphasis) help.
    -Try another app like EvoCam. The fifth item in the EvoCam FAQ claims that they have a fix for the iMovie freeze. Their work-around involves resetting the video channel. You can do the same thing manually in iMovie by just making shorter clips and editing them together.
    -Although I do not know any that yield better results, there are other video clip capture apps included in the Some Applications you can use with iSight FAQ.
    -For more specific iMovie help, you may also want to check out the FAQs and posts in the iMovie Discussions area applicable to the version you use. The iMovie users are watching there.
    I know you wish it would work differently, but it obviously is not working the way you want. Perhaps one of these work-arounds can help you accomplish your desired outcome, even if you cannot attain it via your preferred methodology.
    Please let us know if you find a satisfactory solution.
    Cheers

  • Iphoto remove photos from iphone not working

    For the past couple months iphoto will not delete the photos from my iphone. It successfully imports them, prompts to delete, appears to delete but doesn't actually remove them. They are still on my iphone. iphoto recognizes that they have already been imported and asks to delete them again the next time I plug in my phone, I accept, looks like something is happening but they are still there. I've tried image capture as well and there is no way to delete off the phone in image capture. Help!?

    Can it be, that you have enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPhone with iOS 8.1.3?  Then you can import photos from the phone, but deleting from Image Capture or iPhoto will not work, if the photos are in iCloud Photo Library.
    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    Delete the photos directly on the iPhone or using the icloud webpage -
    Use the "Photos Beta" app on your iCloud page:
