IWeb, Media Browser & Photobooth

Good afternoon.
Some students at our school find that the Media Browser will not display thumbnails of their Photobooth images. This happens in all the 'iApps' that use the Media Browser.
I can't see any differences between the configurations of directories and preferences for students who can use the Media Browser successfully and those who can't. We would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think this is possible with Apple's Media Browser. But you could try this free one with which you can browse photos from iPhoto/Aperture/Lightroom library, Pictures folder, *and other predefined folders*. Click on the image:

Iphoto does not appear in iweb media browser

I am just getting started w/ iWeb anad have 2 questions:
1. I have iPhoto 6.0.6. My iPhoto library does not appear in the iWeb media browser. How do I fix this?
2. Why can't I highlight a movie from my iPhoto library and publish it to iWeb? How do I get a movie from iPhoto to iWeb?
thank you!

Where are your images sourced from? Are they all coming from the same camera for example? It could be that there is actually a white border on your images.
Try opening a few images up in an image editor and checking if there is a trim around the edge.

Iphoto in pages/keynote/iweb media browser

Hi, I recently deleted and created a new iphoto library. After doing so, iweb, Pages, and Keynote is giving the endless spinning beach ball when I try to access the "photo" portion of the media browser. iDVD and iMovie continues to work fine.
All software have been updated. I've already repaired permissions, trashed the aforementioned programs com.apple.~plists. I've posted this in the iPhoto forum because I believe my problem is related to the deletion/creation of the iphoto library. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

After posting, I did a little more searching and found an answer. It sounds strange but it seems that by having certain types of movies in the Movie folder will cause the media browser to crash. When I deleted my old iPhoto library, I moved my digicam movie files from iphoto to my Movie folder, and apparently that was the culprit.

IWeb media browser question

Hello,
When I open up the media browser in iWeb, the only options to draw pics from are iPhoto and Photo Booth.
Is there any way to have the My Pictures folder or Desktop also included as options?
Thanks!

Aperture Referenced Images and IWeb Media browser

I'm new to Aperture, sorry if this is a stupid question, and have a Windows server full of photos which I am referencing into Aperture (rather than copying everything over)...
When I switch to IWeb and use the media browser, it seems that only files which are in the Aperture library , NOT Referenced files, show up. None of the referenced files show.
My expectation is that the Media Browser would also show the referenced photos, just as Aperture does, and then would copy the ones I choose into my IWeb project....It seems this is not the case.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this expected behavior?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thank you!!

Welcome.
Note the media browser only shows files that have previews. So you need to generate previews (which are JPEGs) for your master files. You have numerous options as to size and quality of the generated previews, but this is something you need to do for this to work.
The previews will be stored in the library itself. The masters for which the previews are generated can be either managed (i.e. in the library) or referenced (outside the library).

IWeb Media browser shows video but not photos

I just recently discovered that iWeb is not displaying photos on the photo tab, but it is displaying videos on the photo tab.
It is ALSO showing the videos on the video tab.
Any recommendations?

Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.
A workaround until you get the problem solved is to use iMedia Browser. It's a free, 3rd party version of media browser that will list all movies (in iPhoto or the Movies folder) along with all photos and audio files. Just select and drag from iMedia Browser's window into iWeb.

IWeb media browser include Aperture?

All the tutorials discuss iPhoto. I can only assume that my Aperture library will be accessible. Anyone know if this is accurate?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Aperture works fine. In my media browser, I can see Aperture, iPhoto and Photo Booth. You'll need the update to Aperture 1.5.4 via software update.
Details below:-
- Aperture 1.5.4 is required for compatibility with iLife '08. This update is recommended for all Aperture users.

IWeb crashes every time with media browser

I've been searching the forums looking for a solution for the iWeb media browser bug in iLife 06 but I haven't been able to find a solution. I do not have flip4mac installed and just in case I moved out all .avi's out of the movie folder into another folder on the hard drive

MacBook Pro 1.83 (1 gig RAM)

iWeb v1.1
Any sort of assitance would be greatly appreciated

Christopher,
Pinwheels (commonly known as "The Beachball of death") is not a crash, usually means there's not enough RAM.
When the program "crashes" the app. closes completely and a window appears stating the app has unexpectedlty quit and you have a choice of closing the window and doing nothing, trying to re-open the app, or you can send a bug report to Apple. With enough bug reports sent to Apple they will update a patch. Since this sounds like a RAM-deprived computer struggling w/ insufficient memory causing impatient users to force-quit, there is effectively no bug report sent to Apple, simply because there is no bug.
Your OS alone (tiger) requires 512 RAM to operate, along with iWeb and any other apps running...
Upgrade your RAM and I'm sure you'll see improved performance. Repairing Permissions never hurt either.
If that doesn't work try opening a Finder window and dragging your files from there to iWeb.

IWEB - Force update of media browser

G'day All
When using iWEB if I create a new image in Photoshop and add it to iPHoto it takes a few minutes before it shows up in the iWEB media browser. Does anyone know how to force the iWEB media browser to poll its database?
Cheers

iMovie can take a age to load once you have filled it up with a load of video hence why a refresh feature would be great.
Im regularily importing music into itunes mid edit and having to shut down and restart iMovie which is frustrating as you loose where you are and can sometimes boil a kettle whilst waiting for it.
I havent investigated a direct import into iMovie yet which might be easier.

Media Browser does not load photos

iWeb media browser does not load photos. iTunes and Movies panels do work however.
I do have multiple iPhoto libraries, maybe that has something to do with it?

See this Apple doc ~ +"iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications"+:

Moved iPhoto library - how do I re-direct the media browser?

I've moved my iPhoto library to an external disk - how do I re-direct the iWeb media browser so that it looks in the right place (external drive) rather than still looking in the original location?
Thanks!

I remember someone else trying this...moving their iPhoto library to an external drive. It works fine for iPhoto but not for the Media Browser, unfortunately. I think this person tried to create aliases and some other workarounds. But to no avail. You are probably better off not using the Media Browser anyway and instead exporting from iPhoto so that you can scale down your photos BEFORE using them in iWeb. This would avoid some issues with iWeb keeping HUGE copies of your images in the Domain file and in some cases (RSS blog/podcast) even uploading the HUGE files.

Media Browser in iWeb not showing Photos

Hi
I have read through many of the threads on here from people who seem to have the same problem and tried many of the suggestions, but still do not seem to have improved matters.
I have the message saying that I need to open iPhoto 2 or later. I am running iPhoto 6 and iWeb 1.1.2. I have an iBook G4 with 1GB Ram.
I know it is nothing to do with the little dot and I have also tried deleting various preference files.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

I am having the same problem in Pages 2, Keynote 3, iWeb, iDVD, iMovie ....etc.
iTunes and iMovie's material will show in the Media Browser in all the above apps. But iPhoto will not. If I move the iPhoto Library to my desktop and open iPhoto it will ask me to build a new library. I do, and in all the above apps I can see iPhoto and the library tree. If I grad some of the picture in the Originals folder on my desktop and put it into the new iPhoto library, it imports them just fine and then I open Pages 2 (Media Browser and there is the iPhoto tree.
Sounds like a solution right? Nope!
When I got back and import the rest of the photos from the Original folder on my desktop the Media Browser "loses" or drops the tree and I am left with the Message, "Open iPhoto 2......"
I then deleted the new iPhoto library, keeping my Originals on the desktop and created yet another blank library, opened Pages 2 or Keynote 3 and again I can see the iPhoto tree.
I went to my desktop and put one folder at a time into the new library via iPhoto, then open up Pages 2 (Media Browser) and I can see the tree. YEAH! Then I went an put another folder from the desktop into iPhoto and the tree in Media Browser goes away.
I have found no reason or particular file to be causing this. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this a Media Broswer error or iPhoto? iWeb?
Notes:
I ran the test each time by completely opening and closing Pages and iPhoto. I am running iPhoto 6.0.6 and Pages 2.0.2

Aperture 1.5.3 and iWeb - poor image quality and shuffled Media browser

Hi, I have two questions:
1. I used to use iPhoto 6 together with iWeb 1.1.2, but have since upgraded to Aperture. My Aperture library previews show up nicely in iWeb's media browser, but the quality of the thumbs on the photopage I create, and fullsize images in iWeb's slideshow look really bad and pixelated compared to when I used the exact same images from my iPhoto 6 Library. How can this be? I have set the preview size in Aperture to 1280 x 1280 and quality to 5. Does that have something to do with the poor quality?
2. The Media browser in iWeb completely ignores the dates on the images from the Aperture library, resulting in the images being shuffled completely, making it hard to find the images I want to use. How can that be? Why doesn't it work like when I used iWeb with my iPhoto library?
