Media browser does not show photos

The media browser in iDvd & iWeb does not show the photos in my iPhoto library. It does show the tunes in my iTune library but not the photos in my iPhoto library. When I click photos in the browser, the browser says, "Open iPhoto2 or later or Aperature1.5 or later from your iPhoto or Aperature library in this list."
I have iPhoto6.0.6. When I made a DVD two months ago everything worked okay. I suspect that I am missing something very obvious, but to date it escapes me. Does anyone have some experience with this problem? Please help.

One thing that you can try is the often used maintenance of deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and iPhoto and trash the files named com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then restart your computer and do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window select your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iMovie and iPhoto and see if you still have the problem. Those applications will recreate the .plist files that you deleted.
However, this might be an iPhoto issue, and I would suggest that you post your question in the iPhoto forum as well.
Have you updated iPhoto recently? Have you made any manual changes to your iPhoto library? Do you use keywords? Is your iPhoto library stored on an external drive where possibly iMovie can't locate it?
It could be that you just need to rebuild your iPhoto library. You can do that by holding down the Option and Apple keys while launching iPhoto. Then chose the first 3 selections in the drop down menu. But be sure first to back up your iPhoto library to guard against power outages or other probs during the rebuild process. As I say, check with the iPhoto forum if deleting preferences and repairing permissions does not work.
See if anything in this thread helps:

  • Media Browser does not load photos

    iWeb media browser does not load photos. iTunes and Movies panels do work however.
    I do have multiple iPhoto libraries, maybe that has something to do with it?

  • Media browser does not show previews of raw photos

    Hello,
    I use Aperture 3.4.3 and I have the following problem. If I import photos in jpg format they are immediately available in the media browser and can therefore be selected as a desktop photo via the Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane. If I import photo's in raw format, they do not appear in the media browser until I have forced Aperture to rebuild the previews. If I edit the photos without forcing Aperture to rebuild the previews they are not available in the media browser.
    Any suggestions are welcome

    1. Aperture does not generate any previews when importing jpg's, raw photo's or merging libraries even though I have selected New projects automatically generate previews and always share previews with iLife and iWork (I am importing photos into an existing project but I would expect photo previews to be updated automatically in these cases as well). My statement above that Aperture shared jpg's automatically is therefore incorrect.
    This looks like your preference settings cannot be stored by Aperture. You write, that you already tried to remove the preferences. You did look in the  "Preferences" folder in your hidden User Library in your Home folder  ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist and not in the System Library on your MacintoshHD  /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist, right?
    Also, when removing preferences in Lion an Mt. Lion, it is best to log off and on again after quitting Aperture. Otherwise the removal may not take, because you cannot rely on a "Quit" to remove the process from the caches. Aperture simply may launch again restored from the cache, without noticing that the preferences have ben removed.
    3. If I edit the photo in Aperture after I have generated a preview (say crop it), the preview does not get updated.
    That is consistent with the above.
    4.You can only resolve this by forcing Aperture to generate a new preview, shutting down Aperture and then launching the preference pane.
    Ths may also be related to broken Aperture preferences. The Media browser needs the preferences file to find the current Aperture library.
    I like to suggest two basic tests:
    Generation of previews may also fail, if your Aperture library is corrupted. Then You should have no problems with the generation of previews, when you import into a new library. Create a small new testlibrary and import a few images. Are previews generated? I not, then the problem is not dependent on your current library. If yes, you need to trouble shoot your library. Post back.
    Do you have the same problem, when working from a different user account with a diffrent Aperture library? Then preferences are not a problem - you have a system wide problem and probably need to reinstall. Post back.

  • Adobe Media Player does not show day 5

    On my computer, the Adobe Media Player does not show day 5. Shows days 1 through 4.
    Also on Day 4, trying to view the video "Create States and How to bind them"
    I get a "corrupt file" error when trying to watch using the Adobe Media Player...
    Also will someone please give a clear statement how to do a download of the files so
    we can watch them off line.  This still isn't clear to me.
    I don't know what Craig is talking about below: How does that relate to downloading the
    files.

  • Media Browser does not load iTunes Library

    I was on GarageBand today and was trying to drag a song from my iTunes (via Media Browser) and nothing showed under my iTunes (playlists, songs, etc.) and I have over 4000 items on iTunes.
    I also was trying to upload an attachment on GMail and media browser did not show my iTunes library there either. My screensaver is my album artwork and now it says that I do not have any album artwork. WHAT'S GOING ON?!
    Thought all these problems were connected to each other so I thought I would put it all on one thread.

  • IPhoto does not show photos in my iPhone

    Hi!
    As the title has said, my iPhoto does not show photos from my iPhone, but it DOES recognize that iPhone is connected.
    But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected.
    And also, a week ago, my iPhone usb cable seems to be spoiled at one end. It can still connect the phone to the laptop, but very loosely - as if some wires inside are broken.
    So I really do not know if the problem I mentioned is caused by my setting OR is it because of my spoiled cable (that it could not transfer the photos from the phone)
    And if it is believed that it is caused by my setting, could you please guide me on how to re-set the whole thing?
    Thank you very much.
    Ps. I can still sync my songs in itunes to my music in iPhone.

    "But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected."
    Launch iPhtoto.
    In the menu, iPhoto>Preferences>General.
    Change it back.

  • Muse 7.0 plus Chrome: browser does not show images full browser width

    Hi there,
    I have a serious problem with the latest Muse version: the images which I use as parallax-masks for the background won't work with Chrome, though Safari and Firefox are not showing any problems. The issue: Chrome does either not scale the images to 100% browser-width or does not show them at all, or even shows the images cut into narrow stripes. This problem did not show in the previous version of Muse.
    Of course I already restarted application and computer. System: Mac OSX Mavericks.
    What to do now? The presentation with the client is very soon and this bug makes me very nervous.
    Best,
    bartl

    The problem bartl encountered and reported was fixed by the 7.1 release (November 21st). The problem you're describing sounds different.
    As of yet, I'm unable to reproduce what you're describing. The URL you've provided views the same in all the browsers I've tried, Chrome (32.0.1700.77) and non-Chrome, Mac and Windows.
    That said, looking at your master page I don't think you've created what you intended. At present there are two full screen slideshows on your A-master. On contains no images and the other contains a single image. Both are set to have thumbnails and the thumbnails container is off the right side of the page.
    If you look at your "Master Slideshow" layer in the Layers panel, you'll see the two slideshows. I think you'll want to delete one of them and, given your design, turn off thumbnails for the remaining one.
    Also, if you don't plan to have multiple images in the full screen slideshow, you'd be better off using a background fill image rather than the slideshow widget.
    I remain a bit puzzled how/why you're seeing different behavior in your instance of Chrome. Have you cleared your browser cache?
    On an unrelated note, if you set the page fill and stroke to none and set the browser fill to the most common color from the garage door image, it will avoid the momentary appearance of a white page on a grey background when your home page first loads. Instead the site visitor would see a blank page that's the most common color from the slideshow image, until that image loads.

  • Internet Explorer does not show photo's on website

    I made a website with iWeb. It looks fine on Safari and Mozilla Firefox but Internet Explorer does not show any of the photo's I have put on. Any solutions out there? Thanks in advance.

    usually this isn't relevant to the Mac side of things, but on the PC side of things do you have McAfee Privacy Service installed on the PC? if so, try disabling that and having another look in IE 6. can you see the buttons now?
    on the Mac side of things ... do you have java/javascript enabled?

  • IPhoto does not show photo's downloaded

    In iPhoto, my photo's I have downloaded from facebook or other sights appear as grey squares and does not show the photo's. However when I run the cursor over them, each photo appears for a brief second then back to a grey square. How can I view these?

    This has nothing to do with Pages.

  • Photo browser does not show all aperture projects (missing 12)

    Has anyone experienced this issue? My photobrowser (mail) only gives me a partial list of what I have in aperture. Discussed this with apple support a month ago and he couldn't figure it out so suggested that I rebuild, which I did, and the problem went away, but now it's back. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks a bunch.

    Hi Tony,
    Many thanks for your comments.
    Yes, I did try all possible ways of connecting my drive to the iMac and even to my laptop (Firewire & USB).
    I also did the consistency check.
    I am not sure about the set-up of "Ignore ownership on this volume"? Never heard about this and will try to find out how to check that.
    The most extraordinary thing is that ALL my photos are visible in the "All Photos" blue folder, though they do not have the respective Project folder in the library window...?
    Since each project are existing in my Aperture file library when I open the "Show Package Contents", I am lost at what to do next to recuperate those projects in their previous state in my Aperture profile.
    My next move, I think is to try again to restore the vault onto another drive since you mention that size should not be an issue.
    By the way, can you tell me if a properly restored vault should recreate all project folders and its subsequent albums + smart albums in the Projects window?
    Many thanks for your support.
    Cheers
    Frederic

  • Photo Browser does not show up

    I am in iMovie and started a new movie.  I set a theme and entered all the information.  I was trying to insert a photo in the story board.  The Photo Browser is grayed out.  So Is there any thing I can do to place a photo in the story board?  I used the Movie Trailer for Travel.

    Have you set the Preferences to Share Previews with iLife and generated Previews?

  • 5th Gen Ipod does not show photo tab under preferences

    I am trying to get pics onto my Ipod. The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date? Is anyone having this problems?

    The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date?
    can you check something for me? what icon is showing up in the itunes sourcelist? is it a wee picture of your 5th G, or does it look quite different?
    what version of the firmware is being cited in the "summary" tab you see when you select the ipod in the sourcelist? is that the same version that you see in the "About" screen on your ipod?
    Where's the iPod About screen, and what's in it?
