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

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.

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

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.

Can't see any photos in media browser in other apps

I have my iPhoto library on an external drive due to its size as well as multiple user profiles on this box. No problem when I open iPhoto everything shows up all nice and organized, but if I'm working in another app that uses the media browser to allow quick access to photos (iMovie, Keynote, etc., or iTunes for syncing purposes) there is nothing. Any thoughts? Is there a way to tell the media browser/inspector where my iPhoto library is located so I can see my pics?

Terence,
Thanks for the kind response. Just checked, and the external drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). As further specific, both the library [package] and the image files themselves are stored on this external driver. One other twist: the iPhoto library is set up as a 'referenced' library (that is, I have UNchecked 'Copy items to the iPhoto Library' in iPhoto>Preferences>Advanced). Not sure if this is complicating things.
Things work quite well in iPhoto itself. I have no issues accessing or managing photos in iPhoto. They simply don't appear anywhere else in OSX (e.g. the media browser, Front Row, or iTunes).
Any other troubleshooting suggestions?
Cheers,
Mitch

No photos in media browser in Pages

Since I updated my iPhoto software to 1.0 on my Mac Book Air (OX S Yosemite), my photos are no longer in my media browser in Pages. How do I transfer my iPhoto Library to the media browser so I can drag them into documents?

Slow access of photos from Media Browser

I have a computer with a small iPhoto library. Under 800 photos. iPhoto launches quickly, and effortlessly. iWeb launches easily, but when I try to access the Photos from the Media brownser...things bog down. The spinning ball goes for a couple minutes, before showing me the photos, and regaining control of iWeb. This slowness happens also from Garage Band (when accesing photos via the Media brownser). I rebuilt my iPhoto library database, but this didn't help. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks John and Jim,
Here's an update. I did not have iPhoto opened when launching iWeb. And the iMac Intel 20" has 1gig RAM.
I first rebuilt the database in iPhoto...no help. I called applecare, and then first had me rebuilt the database (no help again). Then we created a new user, and the new user worked fine...no sluggishness in Media Browser. So we went back to the ailing user and removed the iPhoto prefs (no help)....then we removed ALL prefs (no help)...then they had me remove the entire user Library....and still no help. At this point, the 2nd level tech support said they didn't know the answer yet...and they are referring it to Engineering...and I should hear back in 2-3 days. I'm guessing they will have me backup, reformat, and reinstall from scratch...but we'll see.
Thanks for your interest...

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.

How do I change the default iPhoto library for the Media Browser?

I have multiple Aperture/iPhoto Libraries. When I open the new Keynote and attempt to use the Media Browser to select a photo, the pictures the Media Browser displays are not from the Default Libary.
Is there a way to change the default photo library that the Media Browser references?

Hello danstat,
Thank you for the question. The Media Browser accesses iPhoto's last opened photo library. To access that photo library through the Media Browser, quit Keynote, access that photo library in iPhoto, quit iPhoto, and relaunch Keynote.
You can access the an alternate photo library using these steps:
To switch between photo libraries:
Quit iPhoto.
Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
Select the library you want to switch to.
Click Choose.
iPhoto '11: Create a new iPhoto library or switch between libraries

Alternatively, you can drag the photo in directly to youre Keynote presentation from the iPhoto or Aperture windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

Flashing Inspector and media browser

While working a very complex project. Keynote 08's inspector and the media browser start to flash when I start to make any setting changes. This only happens on my Powerbook G4 (2gb ram, 120gb HD, 133). I don't have this issue on my G5. Anyone have any suggestion?

thank you for the suggestion - I have now run Disk Utility - and, although it picked up a surprising number of permissions to repair relating to Quicktime - Iweb is still faulty. I also tried today reinstalling it from my master disk - but this has not made any difference. I still cannot make the Iweb inspector or media viewer show themseves.
I am at a complete loss - I was sure reinstalling would work.
Anyone with more ideas? A lot of web pages are up on a new site - but this has stopped me dead.
I ran another program today that uses apparently the same inspector and media viewer - Rapid Weaver - and the panels appeared and worked normally - but I cannot import iweb files into this program to sort them out.

BUG? Keynote media browser can't see edited photos.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
After cropping a photo in Camera Roll within "Photos" I am unable to insert the edited photo
in Keynote or Pages via the Media Browser.
The built-in MEDIA browser, inserts the unedited photos in Keynote or Pages for iPad.
Of course, I can "copy" the eidted photo in "Photos", and then paste into Keynote. or Pages, but
how can I force the Keynote Media browser to see the updated photo and not revert to the original?
Regards

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

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 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

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.

Some Aperture photos and projects missing from iLife Media Browser

Good evening - having a little bit of trouble getting Aperture to work smoothly with my iLife media browser (i.e., inserting photos into Mail, Pages, Keynote, etc).
I currently have 5699 photos and 131 projects in Aperture. But the iLife Media Browser only shows me 5131 photos and 130 projects; when clicking on individual projects in the browser, anywhere from 3 to 70 photos per project are missing. Tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and rebuilding the database - this improved the issue, but didn't completely resolve it as 5679 photos now show in the Media Browser, and 20 remain missing. Also tried deleting, and generating previews for all my photos in the library. No change.
My library is mostly referenced, with a few photos managed.
Obviously in the grand scheme of things 20 photos missing in the Media Browser not that big a deal. But wanting to get to the root cause though because without solving this issue, I'm concerned about a larger underlying problem that may only get worse as my library grows.
Has anyone had, or resolved a problem similar to this? And can anyone offer any additional suggestions? Are there any specific files that feed the iLife Media Browser that I can delete and rebuild that may solve this issue?
thanks,
Mark

I think I've ironed this out. Several intertwined issues. I took a moment to type out my notes; hopefully it helps you guys solve this quickly if you get a call from someone else on this down the line.
[1] original problem of several hundred items missing in Media Browser: probably an issue of previews not being built. Mostly fixed when I regenerated previews for my library, but repairing permissions and repairing the database may have helped too.
[2] Residual problem of 20 items still missing (5698 items displayed in Aperture when selecting Inspector > Library > Photos; 5677 items displayed in Mail Photo Browser). My issue wasn't as much with 20 missing items in a browser as it was with trying to understand the root cause and whether I had an underlying Aperture, Aperture Library, or OS problem that would bite me later. Turns out several things were causing this problem:
[2a] In Aperture, when you select Inspector > Library > Photos , all your content is displayed: photos, videos, and any audio clips you may have imported (e.g., a recorded audio clip on your camera narrating shoot, location, client, exposure value etc). So even though you've selected "Photos", your "xxx items displayed" count on the bottom of the screen reflects all your imported content. This is not the case in the Media Browser - of which there are two variants in Mac OS:
[2a.1] Mail has a Photo Browser, which behaves much like a "Media Browser Lite: the title bar says "Photo Browser", it only accesses your Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, and only shows photos and video.
[2a.2] iWork applications have a more comprehensive Media Browser, where you can select between Audio, Photos, and Movies. If you select Audio the iWork Media Browser will show any audio files present in your Aperture or iTunes library. If you select Movies, the iWork Media Browser will show any movie clips present in your Aperture or iMovie libraries. Photos behaves the same way as "Photo Browser" in Mail, showing any photos present in your Aperture (or iPhoto if installed) libraries.
Turns out I had three audio clips in my Aperture library. When selecting "Photos" in either the Mail or iWork browsers, the total item count will only show photos and videos - no audio clips. So now 17 missing items remain.
[2b] Stacks - one project contained nine photos grouped into a stack. Only the key photo of a stack is previewed/shown in Media Browser. So a stack of nine photos will only show as one in the browser - unstacking the photo will allow them all to appear. So now nine missing items.
[2c] Seven photographs somehow had broken links to their referenced masters, and needed to be reconnected. Down to two missing items.
[2d] One photo simply wouldn't cooperate - no matter how many times I regenerated the preview, or deleted the preview and then regenerated it, nothing worked. I deleted it from the library and reimported it. One missing item remains.
[2e] Final missing item was a photograph I rejected. Makes sense; as media browser does not display rejects.
Problem solved!! Hopefully this might be of help to somebody in the future.
cheers,
Mark
