Media browser contents do not update

If I have a document open in Pages, and open the Media Browser, I can view (among other things) the photos in my iPhoto library. If I then connect a camera and import photos into iPhoto, the Media Browser does not update to show the new photos. I usually have to quit and relaunch Pages, though every now and then something happens (I wish I knew what!) that magically causes the Media Browser to refresh without doing that.
Any clues? Is there a way to force the Media Browser to update its contents?

Only the method you have chosen.
Clearly not ideal.

Content does not update when published

My content is not updating when I publish updates to my app. Side loading shows the updates, but an updated published folio doesn't. On the third try, I got a blank light grey screen. I finally had to unpublish and republish the content, which is obviously not an ideal situation.
Are there any known bugs or problems at the moment that could be causing this issue? The DPS Status page doesn't have any info.
Thanks

I'm not aware of a way to get out of this state cleanly. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes the problem (unless your unpublish/republish again), but it's difficult to tell your customers to uninstall/reinstall. Another option is to unpublish and then publish the affected folios as different folios, but then some of your users will end up with two versions of a similar folio until they archive the older version.
Let me ask around to make sure that I'm correct about the cause and to see if there's a cleaner workaround.

Media Browser contents won't refresh and update

I'm using Keynote '09. I am using the Media Browser to add photos from within my iPhoto library to my slides. I have a number of albums--many are smart albums--that don't seem to be refreshing as the iPhoto content changes. It was updating fine last night, but today the content remains stagnant even as the iPhoto version changes.
Any idea of a way to force the Media Browser to refresh itself to reflect the changes that are happening in iPhoto? iPhoto is version 8.1.2.

I have a similar issue with the Media Browser, assuming we are talking about the same thing.
I am referring to the feature within an "Open" dialog/window, such as when I am picking a file to attach to an email, or picking a photo or movie clip to include in a keynote presentation etc. There is a pane on the left of the window lists a number of locations on my computer. One of these options is MEDIA, which expands to Music, Photos, and Movies.
When I attempt to select photos while performing tasks such as those I listed, I notice that there are events missing. In fact, the events correspond to the latest few imports into iPhoto. To be clear, the photos are accounted for in a few new events within iPhoto; however, these events are absent in the Media Browser.
As far as I can tell the Media Browser has "refreshed" my Music and Movies, but the Photos portion is not updating / not synchronizing with iPhoto.

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

Content filter not updating the Wod Doc

Hi all
I have created a content filter which updates the "author" value in a Word Doc.
I have used Apache POI.
public InputStream getInputStream() throws ContentException {
     try
          POIDocument pdoc;
          IResource resource=this.getResource();
          // HWPFDocument extends POIDocument
           HWPFDocument doc=new HWPFDocument(resource.getContent().getInputStream());
           int rno=Integer.parseInt(resource.getRevisionID());
           pdoc=doc;
          String created= resource.getCreatedBy();
          pdoc=doc;
          pdoc.getSummaryInformation().setAuthor(created);
          doc=(HWPFDocument)pdoc;
          return new ByteArrayInputStream(doc.getDataStream());
     catch (IOException ie)
     catch(WcmException we)
    return null;
After deploying the PAR file, I restarted the server. Still the author name is not updated inside the document.
Is there anything wrong with my code?

Hi Julian
The FileInputSteam Constructors and their respective parameters are below.
          FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream(File);
          FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream(FileDescriptor);
          FileInputStream fin=new FileInputStream(String);
Which one will I use for my purpose?
doc.getDataStream()
returns a byte Array.
How will I create a FileInputStream Object from a byte Array?
" write it to a temporary" This I didn't understand.

Linked Content Still Not Updating

I've read posts in regards to Dynamically linked objects not updating and a solution was to revert to original. However, my issue remains even after I do that.
I have a project I created in Premiere and I am importing the sequence to Encore so I can create the DVD and the Blu-Ray. I noticed I had an error in the audio after I finished creating all the elements, menuts, and etc. Now I need to get that audio to work in the Encore project. I've tried everything including exporting the audio mixdown and I still have the audio hiccup (even though in Premiere it is fixed).
Help please, I've been 2 weeks on this problem.

The project panel where we can see the transcode statuses of both DVD and BD.

Toast 7.1 Media Browser-iPhotos Will Not Show

Since purchasing Toast 7.1 none of my iPhotos will show in the Media Browser. My iMovies, iMusic and DVD do show. Ran Disk Warrior and TechTool—no problems. My iPhoto library is located in the correct location—user/Pictures/iPhoto library.
I did a quick look at conflicts and didn't see any.
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Itunes U content does not update on some students iPads

A large number of teachers at out high schools post course content to iTunes U.
We have 2 students in a class who can see old content in iTunes U but new content does not show up.
Their iPads have been restarted several times.
Any suggestions?

Ensure their network connection is strong.
Ensure that the Apple ID those students are using is the same as the one they enrolled in the course with. To see the Apple ID, go to the iTunes U catalog, and scroll to the bottom.
Ensure that you want do not have them blocked in your course manager. Log on to the iTunes U course manager, view your list of participants, and check the blocked section. If the students are in this section, hit the X to the right of their name. This will remove them from the blocked section.
If all else fails, try having them delete the course, and re-enroll in it.

Content Viewer not updating

I built a folio last week which displayed properly in Content Viewer.
Since then, we have added more content to it. The build continued to work in Content Viewer, then all of a sudden, it stopped updating.
I stripped the folio back to what it was before we added further content and it still wouldn't update.
I left it during the weekend, then when I attempted to view it again this morning, Content Viewer still didn't offer an update.
I've spent two hours this morning rebuilding the folio under another name. It appeard in the viewer and has given me updates every time I've added new content. Now, it has stopped offering updates and there is no way to test the folio, very frustrating and time consuming!
I have attempted to download the folio in both the release version of Content Viewer, and in my own custom content viewer. Still nothing. The content is showing in Folio Producer, so I know it has succesfully uploaded.
What is the solution to a non-responsive Content Viewer?

hi Ragel,

we've produced two mags with adobe dps and both of them have missed the event they were designed for.

Phone browser contacts do not update

Hi,
I'm using Nokia PC Suite 6.83.14.1 on Windows XP professional SP2 and Outlook 2003 SP2.
I've noticed that the phone browser contact synchonisation does not work correctly. More specifically, when I update or add a contact in outlook, then synchronize with pc synch, everything is synchronized fine with my phone. But when I go to the phone browser and look at the contacts, no updates have been done. If i refresh the phone browser contacts at that point, the changes I made in outlook (and synched to the phone) get overwritten.
I've already tried deleting the phone browser db and then the contacts are displaying exactly like on the phone (since the db is rebuilt) but when I do a new edit in outlook and synch that, the same problem occurs in the phone browser. To me, it looks like the phone browser does not know how to deal with edits done outside of it.
Anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Right, that would potentially solve the problem on my XP pc, but I want to keep everything synchronized between my cell phone and my 2 computers.
Also, shouldn't the most recent version of a software normally have more functionality instead of less. I think this is some kind of bug in the latest version of PC suite.

Apps and iTunes content will not update

iPad Gen 3, cellular and Wifi
iOS 8.0.2
7 GB of available space
Itunes set to Automatically download apps, Books, & updates, but not no cellular data
public WiFi and Private WiFi networks.
I have 14 Apps waiting to update and my iPad (3rd Gen) with the Latest iOS 8 (8.0.2) will not down load them. It stopped downloading any updates on the 10th, including trying to download a previously purchased TV Show and previously purchased song. However 1 app downloaded at some point on the 13th and 2 on the 14th, but none today. I can browse the internet, send receive mail, make FaceTime calls so connectivity is not an issue.
If I tap UPDATE ALL, all 15 get the chasing circle icon followed buy the icon of a thin circle with a Stop square in the button...none of them ever show progress.
Trouble Shooting so far each time trying to update all and to download a sound.:
Fully charged, even tried while on the charger.
Power cycled iPad
Killed off all running apps.
Reset (sleepwake & Home key for 10 seconds)
Signed out and back into iTunes account
Signed out of iTunes, reset device, signed back into iTunes.
Any thoughts?

Disregard the original message. I was in the iPad community when I started writing it, no sure how it posted here instead.

ILive Media Browser Iphoto content missing missing in every program ?

Have been for a while ( since march ) dealing with an issue where Iphoto Browser content does not show up in Aperture ( which is standard workflow I use +20 times a day now for 2 years ).
Iphoto works fine, so seems that ILife Mediabrowser as such could be the culprit. I have re-installed Both Iphoto, its service updates incl. ILife Mediabrowser updates to no prevail !.
Consulting with others in these discussions which seemed to have similar issue, I defined if I make a new test account on my machine and import few photos there, they show up in ILife MediaBrowser in other programs
However not sure where I have to go from there, i.e.: is there a way to export my IphotoLibrary in old account to Iphoto library in new account and then move that library back to my old account ? or what is the standard procedure when problem this occur ?
The Screensaver in System preferences i used to display my last 12 months client photos at idle does not work either in fact when I try select screensaver from list in the system preferences, system preferences crashes.

If you have re-applied the iLife 9.0.3 update from here

Remember to repair permissions afterwards.

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.

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.

Template with CSS style sheet attached, not updating in pages

It shows when I look at it in a browser but its not updating in page view. Also not updating image links of style sheets.
I am a developer for a long time. I know dreamweaver and how to do this. Its a bug I think. But need need to know what I can do to get this fixed.

Do you mean it's not showing in Design View?
This could be caused by errors in your code. DW's Design View is very unforgiving of even small errors that the browsers handle with ease.
Check your template page against these validators and clean out any errors...
HTML: http://validator.w3.org/
CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Is the css that the template is attached to embedded within the template's <head>, an external .css file or inline css?
Is any of the non-updating css in editable regions?
