ITunes library not recognized in iPhoto

I'm trying to add music to a slideshow in iPhoto . I can't see my iTunes library, says to open iTunes to populate list.
Never had this problem before, could be related to an update.  Any ideas?

  • Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

    Yes, I am signed in to iTunes match on the macbook pro, iPhone , & iPad (all updated & correct music libraries) where I bought all the tunes but still no updated tunes on the iPhoto music library after 3 days of being on iTunes match.

  • Itunes library not loading in iphoto

    the library shows, but will not load in iphoto. i've tried deleting the xml file to create a new one, but that didn't work.
    i have recently moved my library to an external hard drive. i had no issues before.
    any suggestions?

    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 visible in iPhoto

    Several days ago, I installed a variety of updates to my G5. I went from OSX 10.3.9 to 10.4.2. I also went from iLife 4 to 5, updated my ipod, etc. In between the many updates, I went into iPhoto and played with slide shows. I was able to create several shows and import music into them. After my updates were done, the next time I tried to make a slide show, my iTunes library is no longer there. It shows the icons and all of the playlists underneath it. But you can't see any of the songs. My itunes and ipod are working fine. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

  • Pictures not recognized by iPhoto

    I have just installed Lion and iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5.
    Now, when I import pictures they are not recognized by iPhoto. I can see them i Finder.
    At first the import seems to work: The import function runs and the event is created. (The name of the event is typed in by me as normally before starting the import).
    But when I open the event the pictures aren’t there. When I restart iPhoto the event has disappeared.
    Can anyone help?

    I have solved the problem my self
    Press the Command and Option key. Launch iPhoto while holding the two keys. A dialog box comes up. Put a check mark in “Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions”.

    Hello there, Underwriter.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Particularly of note for your situation:
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Notes before you start:
    You can use most iPods as an external drive.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
    Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
    Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • 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 am using a 2003 eMac and am running on Mac OSX  vs 10.4.11. I amrunning iTunes 8.2.1 (6) and not able to upgrade iTunes on this computer. iTunes is not recognizing music I have purchased and when I try to connect when it request me to I get the following error message:

    Please help.

    Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore.  I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere?  Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

  • ITunes is not recognizing or connecting to network

    My iTunes is not recognizing or connecting to my network. Everytime I try to update my iPhone 4S to the its latest OS software or update my apps via iTunes Store, it prompts up an error message as:
    'The iPhone software update server could not be contacted.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
    My net otherwise is working to the best of its abilities without any glitches whatsoever.
    If I were to change any settings or anything else, please let me know.
    Your help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Try restarting your iPad : press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider; then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. If the book download doesn't re-start, then you could try downloading the book to your computer and then syncing/copying it across to your iPad.
    You could also go to Settings, General, Reset All Settings.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.
