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.

  • Ilife media browser shows no content....

    I recently bought an emac g4 with no system discs. It is running OS 10.5.6 It was adverted as having ilife 08 though he deleted iweb. I bought ilife 08 and installed everything (save for imovie) but the media browser shows absolutely no content when I open it in iweb. PLEASE HELP!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try deleting the com.apple.iLifeMediaBrowser.plist file from your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

  • Aperture Library and iLife Media Browser - Showing Deleted MobileMe Gallery

    I'm currently using Aperture 3.1 and iLife '09 and just noticed that when I try to access the Aperture Library from say iPhoto or Keynote that the list of folders contains two MobileMe folders with my name, one of which contains dupicates of two of my gallery's. Now I deleted all of my MobileMe gallery's to see if I could fix this, but it still shows a MobileMe folder and two gallery's that no longer exist. I even logged out of MobileMe in Aperture, but still in the iLife Media browser the non-existent gallery's are still shown. I even tried deleting all previews and re-generating in Aperture, to see if the sharing information would be updated, but still these phantom gallery's persist. I guess this doesn't cause me any problems, but I would just like to fix it and wondered if anyone else had seen this and knew of a solution? Thanks.

    Hi,
    I have a similar problem and have posted about it on this thread:

    I'm watching this thread too to see if anyone responds.

  • 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.

  • Media Browser shows no videos

    iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
    I used to see my iMovie '11 exported 720p videos in the Media Browser tab in iDVD, now I don't.
    If I select an iMovie Project, clic 'Show Package Contents', I can see there is a 720p.mov movie there but it is not shown in Media Browser.
    Any ideas what might have happened? How can I solve the problem?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    In iMovie - You did "Share to Media Browser" and as Large ?
    Did You alter anything in the movie project after this - if so the Publishing is lost - You need to Share again.
    Re-starting the Mac - helps sometimes too. Worth a try.

  • Using 'Share with Media Browser' gives all movies the same name

    I'm having a huge problem exporting in iMovie as it relates to iWeb. Every movie I 'Share with Media Browser' is named after the size I choose instead of the name of the project. So one project named 'Sunday' will be exported as "medium.m4v", then a different movie called 'Baseball' will be exported as "medium.m4v" but in a different folder.
    The problem is, when I try to use them in iWeb, all of the pages reference the movie named "medium.m4v", but they upload the movies and rename them "medium.m4v", "medium-1.m4v", "medium-2.m4v" and so on, but all of the pages display the first "medium.m4v" video.
    I went to "Reveal In Finder" in iWeb and I can see the movie, but if I rename it, it disappears out of the Media Browser in both iMovie and iWeb. I can then import it by dragging it in from the Finder, but then I lose having iMovie know it's there for freeing up space later. For something that is supposed to be simple, this is certainly not. Is there a way to initially override the name of the movie from within iMovie?

    Well yes, that was how I was doing it with th previous version of iMovie. But this is Apple!! Putting these movies in iWeb has to be one of the primary functions that this "Media Browser" was created for, how can it be completely broken?

  • ITunes missing from Media Browser -- "open itunes to populate list"

    I am on a MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running GarageBand '11 6.0.4 and all of the sudden no tracks will display under Audio in the Media Browser (Photos and Movies still appear). No tracks from either iTunes or GB show up. This is confusing as I have been using GB to make podcast/music mixes for more than 5 years and I haven't changed any settings or done anything different, but now I get the message "open itunes to populate list" or "To see GB songs here, open GB to edit and save your music."
    Also, for quite some time I have been unable to go the alternative route of dragging tracks directly from iTunes and dropping them on to the timeline in GB -- that used to work, but mysteriously stopped, so I am dependent on the Media Browser for importing music.
    I read thru the forums and tried the advice given to someone this was happening to in Final Cut -- recreating iTunes .xml file. Did that, still no tracks display.
    Other advice says to reinstall GB or iLife altogether -- I hope to avoid this, but if I need to go this route, how do I reinstall GB w/o a disk? Can I do it through App Store and will it recognize that I have already purchased it?
    I am dying to be able to get back in to my music mix making in GB, so thanks in advance.

    you can't, you'd need to find the DVD

    no, it'll only recognize your purchase if it was through the app store

  • Share Media Browser - "Unable to prepare project ... error occurred (-108)"

    Finally got my sequence rebuilt after discovering bug/quirk with iMovie (details later). When sharing movie either via/Media Browser or "Export Movie" option after 10-15 min. get this exact message: "Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-108)." It plays wonderfully in preview (full screen or normal) from beginning to end. Any ideas?
    Bug/quirk discovered. Long time on this project. Had it exactly like I wanted, would generate movie and have mysterious background audio when video tracks were purposely muted. Playing within iMovie environment it worked flawlessly and would only show up in rendered movie. Also the background audio didn't match the playing video clip but was coming from other included clips elsewhere in the movie. BIG mystery. Tried breaking apart movie and re-doing. Still crept in. Finally discovered I had duplicate video files in the ./iMovie Events/ directory, "<filename> 1.mov". I surmise that iMovie is using the most recent duplicate, "<filename> 1.mov" which I was muting but the rendering process was using the original "<filename>.mov" clips. Still a mystery on audio not matching clip but it could be due the trimming I had done throwing the timing off. The duplicates happened when I had moved/copied video content in "Event Library" to manage disk consumption. It failed somewhere in the process and I ended up with duplicate video clips. The aforementioned quirk/bug still appears to not be corrected with latest update as it still occurs.

    Hi
    -108            memFullErr            Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
    My guesses are
    • Turn off TimeMachine during use of iMovie - use to set Heap Zone right
    • Turn off Mac totally and re-start - Frees up RAM
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk - so that iMovie and Mac OS can store it's temp.files here. IMPORTANT

  • IPhoto unavailable to applications through Media browser

    The media browser worked fine until recently when iPhoto was no longer available in the Media window in all iLife and iWorks applications and System Preferences where I used it in my screen save. I have used two suggestions: removing com.apple.iapps.plist and other related files from my preferences folder, and repaired the permissions using "Disk Utility". The Media Browser show my iTunes files, just not iPhoto.
    Any ideas?

    Does iPhoto find the library? Even if it does, it might be worth "telling" it again. Hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto & select "Choose Library" in the window that opens. Quit iPhoto & Pages & relaunch Pages & see if it can find the library now.
    Some other simple maintenance tasks like repairing permissions & deleting caches, even just restarting your Mac, may help.

  • No thumbnails or ability to import in Media browser

    Ae CC 13.0, Windows 7 / 64.
    My Ae media browser shows icons with file names - but no thumbnails - and the right clip import option is greyed out. Same for all file types. File directory and All supported file types are selected in the filter menus.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    These are known issues with the Media Browser panel in After Effects. You can import items by double-clicking or dragging into the Project panel.
    We don't currently recommend the Media Browser for most After Effects users, as it provides little additional functionality over existing import methods. It was added to After Effects for compatibility with Adobe Anywhere, and lacks some of the capabilities available in Premiere Pro. Feel free to test it, and please report problems or requests for improvements here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request

  • How do I access photos via the Media browser in iPhoto '08?

    I have used Pages several times before for an in-house newsletter--with good success. My last newsletter was done in the version of Pages contained in iWork '06 and with photos contained in iPhoto library from iLife '06. Now I am using the version of Pages from iWork '08 and photos from my iPhoto library in iLife '08. When I am in Pages and open the Media Browser, I can see all the photos in various Events. How do I select/choose a particular photo within an Event and drag it to an image placeholder in my Pages document?

    My Media Browser shows Events or Images. See below and see if yours is the same:

  • Differences in Media Browser behavior in iWeb and Pages

    In Pages, you can drag any folder into the media browser to add content other than that in iPhoto's library (if you have photos or scans in other folders) or outside of iTunes (if you have audio files not in iTunes but in some other folder), for example.
    However, this can't be done in iWeb... (or I'm missing something?).

    I forgot to mention I was talking about Pages 2. Actually, I tried Keynote 3, and the media browser behaves as in Pages 2. I believe Apple left in iWeb 1.0 the old code for the media browser found in previous versions of iWork.
    Hopefully they will release an update soon. I would certainly like to have the flexibility of inserting any graphic/sound/media from the media browser, not only those I have in my iPhoto or iTunes folders.

  • Media Browser not showing iTunes library

    The media browser, which is a system-wide open dialogue feature in OSX has been failing to show the iTunes library in my main (but not admin) account.  It shows photos and movies just fine, but nothing from iTunes.  Garageband files yes, but iTunes library nope.  For example if I wanted to add music to a slideshow I can pull down to iTunes but nothing is there.  Same if I wanted to attach an .mp3 to an email, or add music to a movie.  Same thing happens in Chrome, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc.  Interesting, it is unique to this user account.  I've tried it in another user account that has an iTunes library and it worked just fine.  Any idea on how to fix this?  I'm guessing there's a preference somewhere I could delete that could rebuild it.  I don't want to trash any iTunes library files as I have spent years building playlists, metadata, stats, etc.  Thanks for your help. 
    I'm using the latest versions of OSX, Safari/Chrome, iTunes, the iLife '11 suite, and the iWork suite.

    Nobody? 
    Weirdly enough, I have to add it works in a few select 3rd party apps, like Audacity.  However, it still does not work in any Apple apps nor the trial of Capo, a music app, which is why I'm looking for a fix.

  • ITunes & iPhoto on external drive not showing in Media Browser

    I moved my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to a NAS device on separate hard drives.  Independently they work and I can access them through their respective programs, HOWEVER, when I want to use them in Keynote, Pages, iMovie, etc. they don't show up in the media browser.  I have a couple of questions...
    1. Will the media browser work with these libraries on external sources?
    2. Do I need to set up some sort of alias on my Mac HD to point the media browser to those libraries?
    3. If so...how?
    Hoping someone has the answer, or at least can point me in the right direction...

    I am not sure if they will work off a NAS, but I don't see why not. (But iMovie Events will not work off a NAS)
    See this post and focus in on the part about trashing the iApps plist. I would try to trash it and then open up iPhoto and iTunes to repopuplate it. Then try to see if the Media Browser works in iMovie. You should not need to trash the iMovie plist, but it would do no harm if you did.
