Keynote 3 - media browser crash

I just installed iWork '06. While in Keynote, each time I launch the media browser and attempt to select a photo, the app "quits unexpectedly." I have used the media browser in other apps and, so far, have only experienced this in Keynote 3.
Is anyone else experiencing this and possibly have a fix? Am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...JD

There are two possible solutions. First, if you have lots of movies in your movies folder, try moving them elsewhere. The media panel often dies when if finds lots of movies. Second, if you installed Flip4Mac, make sure it is the most recent version - and if it is, uninstall it.
My two work desktops are running Panther whilst my PowerBook and home desktop are running Tiger. I have had no trouble with Flip4Mac on my notebook or one of my work computers. On the other two I had to uninstall it. Go figure.

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.

Media Browser Crash

When I attempt to use my media browser in Iweb the program crashes it also happens in Keynote. What could cause this to happen. Has anyone experienced this problem. I went to the Genius Bar and they directed me to a 1-800 number.
Thanks for any suggestions

Parts of my ILife are still not working. I will contact apple again to see if I can get it working.

Media Browser Crashes Everything

Starting tonight, everytime I open the media browser it almost instantly crashes whatever program opened it, iweb, Keynote, etc. I have read about problems with flip4mac and 3rd party quicktime plugins. I have flip4mac installed as well as an xvid plugin. However, neither of these are a recent addition. I have been using iweb and Keynote as late as this afternoon with no problems. Tonight they are crashing left and right. Any suggestions?

I did a reinstall of iWork. Now it seems to work. I had removed extra languages but I've done that to many apps with no ill effects.

Media Browser crashes iWork 06

I received my iWork 06 today. And tried to create a sample document. Opening Media Browser opens in videos. If I try to get a photo from iPhoto library, iWork crashes. Everytime.
Of course I can drag and drop photos from iPhoto but Media Browser should work too.

Media Browser crashes when accessing XSan

When using Media Browswer, (premiere or prelude) if I click on our XSAN root on the left, the 'View as:' switches to 'XDCAM-HD' and the program freezes (pinwheel). I can import items from the SAN and play footage just fine using the import dialog in Premiere or drag and drop, so it is not entirely a SAN access issue. It seems to be an error when MB tries to analyse the file structure, and gets stuck - my best guess.
It is a 16TB SAN. CS6, updated.
OSX 10.7.5
XSAN 2.3
Issue occurs on multiple SAN connected machines, including a freshly wiped, newly installed computer.
MacPros 2-4 yrs old.
Thanks for any insight.

Hi Yannic
I am not a tech person but it may be easier to start somewhere else, say open Skype and use there settings which have a visual and audio test.
Assuming you have the same menu bar or similar Skype controls, select "tools" ... then "options" ...and you will see a menu including Sound and Video settings.
That is a good and safe place to reset / adjust your video and sound.
Remember that when the camera is usb and uses an inbuilt microphone ... under audio settings select "usb audio" .... I suspect that your speakers will not be running out of your sound control panel.
This is then the advice I have seen around streaming and adjusting broadcasting/streaming settings with flashplayer
1. Ensure the Options shows "Audio-Video" enabled.
2. After start, a Video Broadcaster window will pop-up
Click on the allow button for the Video Broadcaster to gain access to the Webcam.
3. The video Braodcaster will load onto the screen.
4. Right click on the Video Broadcaster to bring up the Flash Settings Dialog.
5. Click on the Settings and then click on the fourth icon for camera.
6. This will show a drop down of all the available cameras. Ensure the correct camera is selected.
7. Clicking on the blue camera icon will show the actual image captured by the camera.

Keynote 6.0 no photos in media browser

Recently upgraded everything to current. Keynote 6 media browser missing all photos from Aperture or iPhoto. Music and movies seem to show up fine.
I have tried deleting com.Apple.iPhoto.plist to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Reid

The media browser in Pages '09 is now inoperable after the 10.10.3 update with Photos. There is an iLifeMediaBrowser plugin that Pages 09 used, that was stepped on by the Photos update, and now Pages '09 fails to find a compatible version of the preceding plugin, and fails to show any media content.
Although the Photos application automatically transferred your iPhoto/Aperture libaries, it does not mean that these applications were removed, or cannot be run alongside Pages '09. I just launched iPhoto, and dragged/dropped a photo onto Pages '09 without issue. Copy/paste is supported too. Pages '09 also supports drag/drop of images from the Finder, or from its Insert > Choose… menu item.

Click "Media Browser" and Keynote crashes

I can't seem to use the Media browser at all. Every time I click to open it, it opens and then I get a crash message:
"An unexpected error has occurred.
Please quit and reopen Keynote."
I quit and reopen and the same thing happens. I've only just installed the trial today and it is useless if I can't add photos to my slides!
Anyone else seeing this?
(I do have iWork '08 installed, if that makes a difference)

Even though the tabs wouldn't change, I clicked enough times to get the browser to open the photos (with the tab still highlighted on audio) in Keynote '08. I then closed '08 and opened '09 and the media browser defaulted open to the Photos tab and worked fine after that. Maybe some weird glitch? Anyway, consider this topic answered.

Keynote 09 crashing when in photos in media browser

Hey guys. Got a really weird one here I'd love your help with.
Just started using Keynote 09 in anger, but it's started crashing on me whenever i go into the 'photos' section of the media browser. It seems to be looking for photos for a few seconds, then a message comes up saying Keynote has encountered an exception and should be restarted. I do this, but the media browser is still open, and it immediately crashes again.
I'm running the latest version of Keynote and 10.6, I've fixed my disk permissions, I've got plenty of disk space. Music and movies in the media browser both seem to work fine. Also Keynote 08 seems not to crash at all in browsing photos in the media browser.
Weird, huh?
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be going wrong?
Thanks!

Actually - technically all of these clips are in the project. See I have a lot of unlogged clips in my project. I'm having another editor log the clips on a different computer, then I'm bringing the logged clips back into the project, and then just double checking the file count of the original folder and the file count of the new folder to see that they match up.
Does this shed any more light? The fact it's not consistent is what is weird. Is it possible maybe the clips that are already in a project and in a sequence somewhere don't get imported?
Any thoughts on how I can make the process smoother given the work flow? Thanks.

IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
Thanks!

1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
4. Find the following files
AlbumData.xml
AlbumData2.xml
and move them to the desktop.
5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?
Regards

Keynote 6.0 Mavericks - media browser shows no movies

In the media browser I can only see movies that are in imovie - not the ones in my movie folder or itunes as I could before the update. How can I include more folders in the media browser?

First thing to check if media in iTunes does not show up in the Media Browser inside other applications like Keynote is if the content is downloaded in iTunes. Often content is viewable in iTunes but may still be in the iTunes Cloud and not physically downloaded to your computer which is what the Media Browser requires.
To show purchases that are in the cloud go to the top menu bar and click on iTunes>Preferences>Store and put a check mark in "Show iTunes in the cloud purchases." Now when you are looking at your media in iTunes you will see a "cloud" icon next to items that are in the cloud and have not been download yet. You can click on the icon to download the media into iTunes and it will then be visible in the media browser for other applications.
Also if you just want to download all your media content at once then go to the home screen of the iTunes Store section within iTunes and along the right hand side of the window under "Quick Links" you'll see a "Purchases" link that will take you to where all of your past purchase from the iTunes Store or kept. Here you can download all your Music/Movies/Books/Apps that you have ever purchased and do it one at a time or all at once.

I am working in Keynote. The icons in the media browser just shrunk! How do I return them to normal size?

Try highlighting the thumbnail of the slide you want to play, before clicking 'play'.

I've made a movie that keeps causing IMovie to crash - every time I try to play it on full screen or share it to Media Browser. I'm thinking it's damaged some way. Is there any way to copy it?

I'm trying to get a DVD made for my grand daughters to take home tomorrow. Have been trying to get this movie shared to IDVD for several hours. Help!!

Instead of Sharing to iDVD you want to Share to Media Browser. This will save the movie to a special folder inside of iMovie that you can then see from inside the iDVD program.
Choose Share > Media Browser (it's at the top of the list)
Choose the Large size and let it roll. It will take a while for it to work.
When it's finished quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, Create a new project.
Go to the button labeled "Media" in the lower right hand corner of the iDVD window, and click it.
Just above that is a window with some buttons across the top. Click on the button labeled "Movies".
Inside the window you will see an iMovie star icon, double-click the triangle beside it to see all the movies being shared. Your iMovie project will appear there.
Drag the iMovie project into your iDVD project.
The quality of the final DVD is visibly better, sharper than if you were to Share directly to iDVD. So bypass Share to iDVD altogether and see if it stops crashing.

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
Specs
MacBook Pro 1.83 (1 gig RAM)
OS/X 10.4.6
iLife 06
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.

No Aperture Icon in Keynote media browser

I am new to Keynote. I only download it yesterday. When I went to the media browser it only showed the iPhoto icon. It did not include Aperture as an option.
I store my photos mainly in Aperture. So I cannot access my photos to place them in the presentation.
How do I make the Aperture icon apear in the media browser?

I followed your suggestion and reinstalled aperture but it still does not show up in the media browser.
Do you have any more suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.
