Latest event in iPhoto doesn't show up in iMovie

When I open iMovie and select 'iPhoto Library' to copy over a list of photos and videos from my latest event in iPhoto, I don't see that latest event in the iPhoto Library? I have all of the other events in my iPhoto Library visible, but for whatever reason, that latest event isn't available. Why is this?

SGMS,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You are right. That example describes the keyword information from the AlbumData.xml file, not the keyword list in iPhoto.
In the iPhoto keyword list, click on your first keyword to select it. Then use the down arrow key to highlight each keyword in succession. If you come across a blank space in the list that becomes selected, click on the - symbol below the list to delete it. I have seen several reports of a blank keyword causing the problem. Another easy check is to click on a keyword, then click Rename to highlight it. If you see a blank space before or after the keyword, delete the space.
If that's not it, I'll explain further. Dave E's instructions are for how to read the AlbumData.xml file to help identify if you have a faulty keyword. The xml file is just inside your iPhoto Library Folder. You have to access it through the Finder. (Be warned not to change anything you find from the Finder, though.) Right-click (control-click) on the AlbumData.xml file. Choose Open with > Other... then navigate to the Application Text Edit. When it opens, type Command F (Find) and in the Find box enter "List of keywords". The document will scroll down to show you the text where the keyword information is listed. This is where it looks like the description by Dave E. If you see 2 keywords lumped together, then you close the xml file, go back to the keyword list in iPhoto Preferences, and edit or delete the words that did not have the same format as the others.

IPhoto doesn't show up in iMovie media browser

I have the fully installed iLife 06, and when I am in iMovie and go to the media browser to pick an image, nothing shows up to populate the browser. It seems as if the browser is not seeing iPhoto. I have tried this with iPhoto open and closed. No difference. I have thrown out the iLife media browser plist. Still no luck. Threw out the iPhoto plist. No luck. Repaired permissions and restarted. Stilll no luck. Coincidentally, the mark/space photo conduit for my in The Missing Sync cannot see iPhoto also. It's as if other programs have no clue that iPhoto is installed. Anybody have this happen? What's the fix?

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

Why my iphoto doesn't show any of my picture?

I accidently deleted some of my file, and since then my iphoto doesn't show any of my pictures, i mean nothing comes up when I click on it.

I would post in the iPhoto forum:

Why do my iPhoto movies not show up on iMovie

I have imported all my videos from my iphone to iphoto. I can not access them through imovie but I can see all the photos. Why is this?

Yes that works - but it's quoite manual, and has a problem -
1. when I do that - iMovie sets the date and time of the movie to the import date ( today) instead of the footage date, so I have to go through each one adjusting the date and time to the footage date.
It would be seemless if the Event Library\ iPhoto Videos simply shows the movies that are in iPhoto!

HT5043 Some events from IPhoto do not show up in Itunes

I just imported a set of photos in IPhot0 as a new event. However, when I tried to sync my Ipads (Ipad 1 and Ipad 3) this new event doesn't show up. This happened after the last upgrade of IPhoto (version 9.4.2). I have removed the IPod Photo Cash and rebuild it by a new sync, but that didn;t help either. The last event is not visable in the Photo tab in Itunes. Also the recent album has zero photo's.
Anyone with help?
Jan Talmon

I saw somewhere a suggestion to create a smart album in IPhoto. I did that, quited both IPhoto and Itunes started Itunes again and magically the new album appeared in the list.
Problem solved

IPhoto doesn't show magnified photos

iPhoto shows only thumbnails and when I doble click on a photo, only change the bottom bar tool, but the display doesn't refresh and the thumbnail photos keep showing on the screen. Also when I select Edit a photo, the display area where it was supposed to show the full size image keep black.
I right click on a photo and choose ->Show File and I see that the photo's path is Macintosh_HD/users/AngelSolorio/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Madrid/"x".jpg. And the size is 3.1 MB.
However, if I doble click over any image in my Hard Drive, Preview doesn't show anything.
Someone can help me, please?

How are you getting the images into the library? You must import them. This is from the iPhoto help:
In addition to transferring photos from your digital camera, you can import photos from a flash drive, memory card reader, CD or DVD, or other locations on your computer’s hard disk.
If you’re using Mail, you can drag photos directly from an email into iPhoto. To import photos received when using another email client, including webmail, or when downloading photos from the web, first save the photos to your desktop or in a folder on your hard disk.
You can also scan photos and save them on your computer or save emailed photos on your hard disk, and then import them into iPhoto.
iPhoto supports popular file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, and RAW. Other formats also work but are not fully supported.
To import photos without a digital camera:
In iPhoto, choose File > “Import to Library.”
Navigate to the location of the photos you want to import (for example, a CD icon on your desktop or a scanned photo file saved in a folder on your hard drive).
Select one or more photos, or select an entire folder or disk.
Click Import.
You can also drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into the viewing area. If you drag a folder, one or more Events are created based on subfolders and the dates the photos were taken.
IMPORTANT:Wait until all photos have been transferred into iPhoto or click Stop Import before ejecting a memory card, CD, or DVD.
NOTE:Some card readers may not be compatible with iPhoto. For more information, check with the manufacturer of the device.

IPhoto doesn't show thumnails

iPhoto 9.2.3 seems to have lost all my thumnail. all my events and albums have the same thumnail of me and when I open an album or event it doesn't show me the thumnail, it's an empty grey box. I have to click on the grey box to open the picture. What should I do?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Iphoto doesn't show photos in other user-account

Hi,
I have the iPhoto-Lib in the public folder of my user-account. All other users have full access to this folder and subfolder. When another user logs in and opens iphoto (no other user has iphoto open) it shows the preview off all pictures. He can open older pictures by double click. Newer Photos are not shown after double click. An triangle with exclamation mark shows up shortly after the picture was shown.
When I login all the pictures are shown as preview and after double click.
Any ideas?
Peter

Using that form of sharing the Library should be in the Users/Shared folder, not the Public folder.
However, lots of people report permissions issues with this form of sharing and instead I suggest using an external HD set to ignore permissions and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

IPhoto movies not showing up in iMovie

I have looked at a few other topics, and I think I have discovered the source of the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
I have: iMovie '08 and iPhoto '08.
I went to QT player and selected "Show Movie Inspector" to look at the format. The two videos that both show up have these formats:
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
H.264 Decoder, 320 x 240, Millions
and
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
H.264 Decoder, 480 x 320, Millions
But the ones that DON'T show up have this format:
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
H.264 Decoder, 1280 x 720, Millions
So I'm assuming the problem is the size of the videos. Is this correct? If so, how can I change them? And if this wouldn't be the problem, does anyone have any other suggestions?

But in iMovie, only two of these movies show up in the iPhoto videos events. How do I get the third one to show up in iMovie?
Not sure, but try this: Close iMovie. From iPhoto, drag the AVI movie to the Desktop. This will create a copy on the Desktop. Now drag this file back into iPhoto. You will be asked if you wish to import a duplicate - click on Import. Now open iMovie - hopefully the newly imported AVI movie in iPhoto will now be recognised by iMovie, which will commence creating thumbnails. If desired, you can delete the original movie from iPhoto.
If this doesn't work, try converting the AVI file to another format. This can be done in either QuickTime 7 or QuickTime X, depending on the conversion required. Open the AVI file on your Desktop (the one dragged from iPhoto earlier) in QuickTime X. If the movie is 640 x 480 go to File>Save As and choose the format HD 480p. That will save the movie in H.264 format using 2 Mbits/s at up to 640 x 480 resolution. If your original movie is in some other resolution, you will probably be given other Save As options, so choose the most appropriate. If you have QuickTime 7, you can export using a much wider range of formats. However, the best to use are AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) or the H.264 format - both work perfectly with iMovie '09.
Once you have the exported file (whether from QuickTime 7 or X), import it to iMovie. In iMovie's menu choose File>Import Movies. You should now be in business!

IPhoto videos not showing up in iMovie

I researched this topic in a couple of previous discussions and don't seem to find a solution for my situation. I have iMovie 09 and iPhoto 11. I have lots of videos in iPhoto that I shot with iPhone 4 this year, but none of them are showing up in iMovie. iMovie says "updating iPhoto library" every once in a while when I open up iMovie, but no movies show up under iPhoto view. Anyone knows what the solution could be?

Hi Folks,
Your iPhoto access in other programs such as iMovie depend on ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iApps.plist. Whenever you add new videos to iPhoto and close iPhoto, this file gets updated. If corrupted, pull the plist, open iPhoto and a new movie and then quit. See if iMovie picks it up.
As long as you have the latest dot release, I believe you should be fine in compatibility.

I had this problem and this fixed it. The problem started for me right after I upgraded iPhoto 9.4.1 to 9.4.2. I had to quit both apps, remove the plist file, launch iPhoto, then quit iPhoto, then launch iMovie... then iMovie asked about thumnails for videos and the iPhoto videos were back in iMovie.

Upgraded to OS6 on iPad and now iPhoto doesn't show "Events". What's the deal?

iPad 2 iPhoto always showed Events but since upgrading to iOS 6, "Events" are gone. What is the fix?

Puchased iPhoto app for iPad and none of my photos except for camera roll that's on iCloud came up. Tried to sync all my photos on MacBook to iPad, that didn't work. "Photos" app still has all my photos but nothing under events which brings me back to the original problem. Time to go to the Genius Bar.

IPhoto doesn't show thumbnails anymore

I actually figured this out- I am posting this as a solution, not a problem. It frustrated me but I figured it out.
THE PROBLEM:
You click on an "event" and it brings up a picture from that event, however you can only see one picture. Clicking left-right on either the buttons or the keyboard move you to different events, not to different pictures. You have tried to go to "View -> Thumbnails -> Show" but it's all gray, meaning theoretically you ARE in thumbnail view, even though you can only see the one picture.
THE REASON & SOLUTION:
The possible reason you are having this problem is the magnification slider in iPhoto on the bottom right. While in thumbnail view, apparently, you can zoom all your thumbnails in to a point where it's only showing one picture- but you cannot browse the rest of the album or event this way. If you are having the problem above, then your magnification slider should be all the way to the right. Move it to the left, and other thumbnails should start to appear. Eventually you see all your thumbnails again. You can still scroll through all the photos using the full-screen thumbnail view by clicking/scrolling up and down, not left to right. There should be a scroll bar visible on the right. Its not obvious like on these discussion boards, but its there.
Hope that helps. I would like to have Apple change this behavior- it will deffinetly frustrate a lot of people.

this is a known bug (or maybe a "feature" - who knows)
Please provide feedback to Apple re this to be sure they understand users view of it - iphoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

Double-clicking an event in iPhoto does not show thumbnails

I set double-click event in preferences - events to shows event photos but still only see one enlarged photo when double-clicking an event.
I would like to see the thumbnails to better edit, split event photos which are grouped inappropriately for some reason.

While you have the one large photo displayed Look down to the lower right hand corner of the iPhoto window and slide the little slider to the left until you see then number of thumbnails you want

IPhoto doesn't show all photos in photostream

Apple supposedly saves the last 1000 photos I take for 30 days. What if I only take 100 photos. Will all 100 photos stay in my Photostream indefinitely? OR, will they be deleted after 30 days?
On my iPhone I can see all photos I've taken in the last year in my Photostream, but in iPhoto only the last month or two show up and I can't find the rest. I'm confused.

Photos in the Photo Stream section of iPhoto are not imported into the library. Instead they reside in this folder on the hard drive:
After 30 days they will be removed from the Photo Stream and the hard drive. You need to select the photos in the Photo Stream window and drag then onto the Photos or Events icon in iPhoto to import them into the library so they are permanent.
