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?

HI Patty,
check out these two movies and see if it helps.

  • 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 iphone/ipad/appletv

    I have a 2013 mbp, and 2007 imac. An ipad Mini, an iphone 5 and apple tv 3. All are updated to the most recent versions.
    Both my mbp and my imac can "see" each other's itunes libraries and play them. So home sharing works.
    My iphone, and ipad can see the mbp and imac libraries in their iTunes, however they cannot see them in Music.
    The itunes remote works on both the ipad/iphone when looking at the mbp and imac.
    The apple tv can happily mirror what is on both the mbp and imac. I can play itunes music happily on the apple tv from both.
    The apple tv cannot see the itunes library of either the imac or the mbp in "Computers"
    The apple tv happily mirrors the ipad and iphone.
    I have duplicated the problem with different routers.
    So home sharing sort sort of half works. It is weird. Suggestions?

    Have you tried clicking on "Music" in iTunes?
    Yes and that is where my purchased music shows up but not my 6900 other songs.
    My Itunes library is on an external hard drive. Maybe that has something to do with it....

  • Photos not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09)

    I've copied my iPhoto library to a new computer and even though all pictures are in the library, about half of them are not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09).
    • Only 74 events of 219 are visible.
    • Picture count on new computer is 2752 and 7709 on old computer in iPhoto
    • iPhoto on older machine is v7.1.5 (iLife 08)
    • New albums have been created on new machine that must have disappeared during previous iPhoto updates.
    • Photo library size is 3 GB larger on new machine
    • Running 10.5.8 on older machine and 10.6.1 on new machine
    I've played with "Hide Photos" and no change.
    Any one has any ideas how to correct this?
    Thanx in advance.

    Just an update on this...re-copied and I'm having the same issue. Here are some additional testing I did.
    • Updated iPhoto to v8 (iLife 09) on the original machine (G5 PM) and no issues.
    • Copied updated Library to new machine (iMac 3.06) and still same issue. Its running iPhoto 8.1
    • Updated iPhoto to 8.1 on G5 and I'm encountering the same issue as the iMac. Only see 74 events out of some 220 events and 2752 pictures out of 7100 pictures.
    Conclusion - iPhoto 8.1 (iLife 09) messes up something in my photo library.
    TD - thanx for your quick feedback.
    BTW - just got notification that a new iPhoto update, 8.1.1, is available! Going to try it and update the results here.

  • 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?

  • ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

    somehow lost access to my iTunes library.
    What does iTunes have to do with this?   Also more specific information might be helpful.
    What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
    Where are you being asked to select a library?  What kind of library, iPhoto or iTunes?
    What do you see when you first launch iPhoto?

  • Some of the items in the itunes library not were not copied to the itunes phone because you have not authorized them for this computer

    I'm getting a "some of the items in the itunes library not were not copied to the itunes phone because you have not authorized them for this computer" error message for some of my songs when I'm syncing to my iphone to my laptop.  I've authorized the computer, but I still get this error messge.  Any suggestions?

    Were these items purchased with a different Apple ID than the one you normally use?  If so, authorized the computer for that Apple ID.

  • I was wondering how to log out of itunes library, NOT the store

    I was wondering how to log out of an itunes library, NOT the store. There has to be some way to switch the account (not homesharing)

    In terms of your iTunes library, the only account involve IS the store and homesharing.  There is no other account to log out of/ into ... what are you trying to accomplish?

  • Iphoto library not visible for itunes home sharing

    Hello, I have an issue where my iPhoto library is not visible in iTunes Photo Sharing Preferences. I wish to have my iPhoto library (Aperture Library) available on my Apple TV. I have switched on Home Sharing. When I go to iTunes/File/Home Sharing/ then wish to select which photos to share, iPhoto is not listed in the preference pane. The only available option is my Pictures folder.
    My library is on an external hard drive. When I try to point to it manually, the library is greyed out.
    Any ideas? I have been using Home Sharing for a long time and have not had this before. I have latest version of iTunes and iPhoto. My library is an Aperture library. The external hard drive is Mac OS Extended format. There should be no issues there. I have done a check disk and a repair permissions also.

    Hello, I have an issue where my iPhoto library is not visible in iTunes Photo Sharing Preferences. I wish to have my iPhoto library (Aperture Library) available on my Apple TV.
    Does your joint Aperture/iPhoto library show in the Finder as "Kind Aperture Library"?
    Then set your Photo Sharing to share from Aperture and not from iPhoto.
    When I try to sync or share iPhoto libraries from iTunes, it will look for libraries "Kind iPhoto" and not sync with an Aperture library, even if it is the current iPhoto library.

  • Library not visible on itunes screen

    When I open iTunes there's no longer a "library" shown on the screen and when I try to add something (mp3) from my computer's desktop I have no idea where it went (if anywhere).  There's no file or folder on iTunes anymore that shows it like a "recently added folder."  This is a mess and want to get it working again.
