IPhotos Not Appearing

I am running IPhoto 6.0.5, and IMovie HD. For some reason, my photos are not showing up in the photos area when I click on the Media button. I can drag them from IPhoto, but it is so much easier to access them directly within the IMovie program. ANy help is mucho appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello, coachmike,
Welcome to the discussions!
I recall seeing this problem addressed when iLife 6 first came out....I searched but could not find the post. It has to do with the way photos are stored in iPhoto 6. This changed considerably from iP5.
First try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75491
Then, with both apps closed, delete the plists for both iPhoto and iMovie. Plists located in Yourusername->Library->Preferences->com.appleiPhoto.plist and com.appleiMovie.plist. Trash both of these. The preference files will be recreated when you reopen iPhoto and iMovie.
If the photos still don't show up, you should rebuild your iPhotoLibrary.
Close the apps and launch iPhoto with the Command and option keys held down. When you see the rebuild library window, check the first 3 options.
Wait for the rebuild to finish, close iPhoto. Then try iMovie again and see if the photos are now in place.

  • Photos do not appear when I'm trying to construct a Book in iPhoto 08

    I really hope someone can help me understand why some picture images do not appear in the photo window strip of iPhoto 08, when I go to make a Book. These same images appear in my Library - but just seem to vanish in Book/Project mode!
    All the photos from my digital camera seem to appear OK ... but I have noted the images (jpgs) in question are ones I've downloaded from the Net - legitimately from friend's UGC sites (with permission and which do not breach any copyrights).
    I cannot work out what is going on - as older images I've previously downloaded from the Net - which were imported into earlier versions of iPhoto - ALL appear! I've also tried renaming the jpgs removing all '&' type symbols and reloading them into iPhoto - but still without success.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Cheers,

    Hi TD,
    Yes they do appear in full size and I can edit them. I've just realized that it's not just photos from the Net that are not appearing - it seems to be happening for all photos I've imported into iPhoto after a certain date.
    After spending many more frustrating hours trying to work this out, I found that if I click all of the 'events' which contain the photos I'm after and then create a Book - all these photos appear in the selection window strip. However I still need to work out a proper solution as this still limits me to only those photos in the highlighted 'events' and no new pictures can be added to that particular Book.
    Heeeelp please!

  • When I take a picture with my iPhone it does not appear on my macbook in photo stream in iPhoto as it should.

    I have Photostream set up on my iPhone and on my macbook.  When I initially set it up it worked downloaded the images in Photostream to iPhoto.  Now, when I take a picture it does not appear in Photostream on my macbook.  I did not change any settings.  Any suggestions?

    If your phone is not jailbroken, then the odds of you having a virus on the iPhone are infinitesimally low.

    From the box the iphone came in:
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
    You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.

  • Pictures not appearing in iphoto library

    I'm using version 2.0.1 of iphoto. Some of the pictures that are in my picture folder will not appear in the photo library. I have "rebuilt" iphoto, but some of the more recent pictures do not appear in the library. Any ideas on what else I could do to get all my photos to appear in the library.

    That's not surprising since iPhoto 2 wouldn't have any way to know anything about photos that haven't been imported into iPhoto. Your Pictures folder isn't the same as your iPhoto Library folder.

  • Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

    Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

  • ITunes or iPhoto do not appear when I click the music or photo icons

    I wish to add music & photos to my production in iMovie. But when I click the music or photo icons, iTunes and iPhotoe do not appear in the boxes that open. I can have them open in another window and drag them in, but this is not what is supposed to happen, what can I do ?

    Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
    There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

  • Deleted videos or photos do not appear in iPhoto trash, Deleted videos or photos do not appear in iPhoto trash

    Hello,
    I'm trying to free up space on my MacBook Air by deleting videos & photos, but when I attempt to do so, the supposed deleted items do not appear in the iPhoto trash.  Even if I drag to the trashcan in the list.  What am I doing wrong?  I delete manually the items, and they do disappear from view, but...where do they go/?
    THanks!

  • IOS4 photos do not appear in iphoto

    HI!!
    I have an iphone 3g with iOS4. After upgrading, photos taken from my iphone camera or even downloaded from the internet do not appear in iPhoto when I try to sync. I get a blank space with an outlined frame. Any fix? I have all updated software.

    Greetings,
    Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the issue persists try importing using the Image Capture program found in the Applications folder.
    If image capture works then try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
    If Image Capture does not work then there may be an unreadable picture in the camera roll which is blocking import. See this article for suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3195
    Hope that helps.

  • Trashed photos do not appear in iPhoto trash

    First time user, please be patient. I found this same question 30 minutes ago and now have lost it. I hate to ask again. I am using iP6. When I drag and drop photos into my trash, they are gone but do not appear in the trash? This just started about a month ago. One day it works a couple of times and then not? I am obviously doing something wrong.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    If you have an album selected from your Source Pane and delete photos (from the album) then the photos disappear from that one album, yet remain in your Library. This would explain why you don't see them in the iPhoto Trash Can. Choose Library from the Source Pane and you will find them somewhere. The photos will also remain in every other album, slideshow, book, etc. to which they were assigned. If you wish to place them into the Trash directly from the album, you can type Option-Delete or Option-Drag them to the Trash. Once you've placed them in the Trash and emptied the trash, they are gone from every occurrence in your library.
    In contrast, when the Library is selected as your source, photos will go directly into the iPhoto Trash. Removing items from the Library will delete them from every instance - that is, every album, book, etc, as stated above.
    The exception to the rule is that Smart Albums behave differently. Because assignment to a smart album is determined by meeting the criteria for the album, as long as the photo remains in your library it will remain in the smart album. (Unless you change the criteria.) As a result, deleting from a smart album will delete the item from the entire library.
    Regards.

  • Why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?

    why do videos from a shared photo stream not appear in iPhoto?  Within iMovie, it appears as though videos can be imported from the iPhoto library.  However, within iPhoto there are no videos that appear within the Library.  Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto from a shared photo stream?  if not, how can videos be imported into iPhoto?

  • IPhoto albums not appearing in iTunes

    Hi
    I usuaully can fix these issues myself but this one has me frustrated.  I bought a new Mac around 6 months ago and transferred all photos to the new computer.  Everything was working perfectly.  However, recently I have added photos to iPhoto in a few new albums.   Now, when I try to sync photos with my iPad/iPhone all the old albums are there but none of the new ones are shown.  I also cannot stream any of the new albums through to my AppleTV as they do not appear.
    I have looked into the Home Sharing preferences in iTunes - File>Home Sharing>Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV and the new albums do not appear there either.
    I've looked everywhere but cannot see why it does not pick up these new albums.  Around the time, I put all my media on an external drive and changed the pathway but it all seems fine for my musice, tv and movies but not photos.
    So they albums are in iPhoto but not in iTunes.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    If a new library worked then your current library is damaged.  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • In iPhoto, one upload of photos does not appear in events

    I recently uploaded ~30 photos to iphoto from a Canon SD750.  The photos appear in photo mode, and are split into an event in photo mode (I even named the event in photo mode), but do not appear as an event in Event mode.  Just previously, I uploaded ~80 photos from a Nikon S9500 and all worked fine.
    Iphoto is up to date (9.4.3), and using an iMac w Intel 2.93 GHz Intel Core i& processor, 8 GB memory and plenty of HD space.  Using of 10.8.4. 
    Any thoughts are kindly appreciated.
    Dave

    In Photo Mode, select one of the photos and right click on it. Then choose 'Show Event'. It will bring you to the Event.
    Yes, TD, that should show the event, if it exists. But I am curious, why the event is not showing in the Events view in the first place:
    but do not appear as an event in Event mode
    I am sure, Dave has checked that thoroughly, before posting the question; and I want to exclude any library corruption. Is there an iPhoto glitch, that occasionally hides newly imported events in "Events" view?
